2013 camaro ss 0-60 - still big car

 2013 camaro ss 0-60 the Camaro SS 1LE is still a big car, and you still feel as if you’re sitting inside of a cave. Even so, this SS’ footwork and stick is impressive. As Lago said, “This is how the Camaro should have handled out of the factory.” It may not have the ZL1′s fancy shocks; it’s nowhere close to corralling 600 force-fed horses under a bulging hood; and it’s not the quickest in a straight line; but the 1LE is a well-balanced, track-ready, and sufficiently powered performance edition that will make any Camaro fan proud.

2013 camaro ss 0-60 see review here it still seems as though the designation had been plucked from an alphanumeric bingo bucket, 1LE has new significance for 2013 as an option package for manual-transmission Camaro SS models. It brings a host of upgrades ported from or inspired by the mighty ZL1. The pieces that make the most difference fall into the latter category, however, including the front anti-roll-bar mounting setup, 10-by-20-inch front wheels and 11-by-20-inch rears, and beefier half-shafts. The equipment pilfered directly from the ZL1 includes wheel bearings, toe links, rear shock mounts, the fuel pump, the flat-bottom steering wheel, the short-throw six-speed manual and its transmission cooler, and 285/35-20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G: 2 tires all around (the ZL1 gets 305/35-20 rubber at the rear). The beefy wheel-and-tire combo actually saves a total of 22 pounds of unsprung weight.

2013 camaro ss 0-60 The 1LE package also comes with a shorter final-drive ratio of 3.91:1 versus the 3.45:1 rear end in the SS and adds monotube rear dampers—instead of the SS’s twin tubes—and a strut-tower brace. As for externals, Chevy engineers tell us that even though the 1LE’s splitter increases downforce in the front, the wider wheels generate enough lift to bring the 1LE right back in line with the SS. Out back, the SS’s lip spoiler carries over to 1LE cars.

Barb Samardzich , vice president of product development for Ford of Europe , told Autocar : " We have been concentrating on developing a car for the world market , and you can see the results of that with Edge and Mustang are scheduled to come to Europe , and the Fiesta and the focus in the U.S. . ' One Ford ' policy we have managed to push our main products more than ever before , and the next step is to provide customers with more examples , highlight small - volume products . Planners should not only be about mainstream now , we can go to the edge again " .

Autocar understands - sign off for the project has been very close , depending on the final analysis shows the business case for it to sit alongside the new Mustang Europe - bound , which is confirmed for 2014 .

However , Samardzich also revealed to Autocar that a recent study concluded customers for high performance Ford vehicles are divided into groups that are very different . It is believed to have significantly strengthened the case for the Focus RS with eased concerns that it would turn off the Focus ST or Mustang sales .

" There is more room for performance products in the range in small , medium and large car segments , " said Samardzich . " A whole suite of the car is what I have in mind . I note there are two different types of customers - one for the ST product , which is fun but has everyday usability , and another , more customers who want a focused race car RS - types . Developing good with Mustang complementary , customers do not always want to one another " .

Case new Focus RS is also strengthened because it is expected to use the new , Ford -developed 2.3 - liter turbocharged four-cylinder tuned to around 330bhp . Engine , which will also feature in the Mustang , will comfortably exceed the output of the Focus RS last Volvo -derived 2.5-liter five - pot produced 301bhp , 345bhp or the RS500 . It will make use of turbo technology and direct injection for more latest increase fuel efficiency .

It should be significantly re- engineered for Focus where , unlike in the Mustang , it will be mounted transversely . Power and torque are also expected to be higher than in the Mustang enough to ensure the product remains in the range of Ford performance halo , especially in Europe , where the majority of sales expected . Preliminary discussions to use electric motors in the rear wheels to improve performance and reduce emissions reported are considered too expensive to develop and negative disruption for shoppers .

As in the current Focus ST , will be reinforced engine note into the cabin using Symposer Sound Ford , which opens the valve between the engine bay and cabin .

Other upgrades will include a reward Revoknuckle front suspension that was developed for the RS last , but was rejected due to the current ST engineers think the system torque - Ford electronic vectoring enough to handle 247bhp and 265 pounds ft of the high output in RS is believed to have convinced Revoknuckle engineers needed to curb torque steer and traction assist .

A limited- slip differential is for sure, plus a beefed- up brakes and tires and sporty cabin . Engineers said to have been assessed using four-wheel drive system Kuga , wqzxc which uses the same platform , but was reportedly too heavy and difficult to package in a low -slung , sports car -oriented . Such as ST , RS will come in five- door form only, while the estate is not likely but possible .

NISSAN GT-R R36 GREEN LIGHTED!

NISSAN GT-R R36 GREEN LIGHTED!.Those changes helped the 2014 GT-R drop even more seconds off its official time around Germany’s famed Nurburgring. At 7 minutes, 18.6 seconds with Nissan’s top gun Toshio Suzuki at the wheel, the updated GT-R is now the second-fastest production car around the ‘Ring on stock tires, after the Lexus LFA.Originally introduced in the United States back in 2008, the GT-R has been continually updated over the years with more power and improved handling. Changes for the latest model year include engine tweaks designed to improve mid-range punch and numerous suspension revisions.Nissan has released full details on the 2014 GT-R for the US market. For the next model year, the supercar will continue to offer buyers a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6, though final output will stay at 545 horsepower. There is a jump in mid-range torque, however, courtesy of a new intake and optimized exhaust for an engine that breathes easier than before.Stupefying acceleration; very high handling limits; easy to drive; high-quality and livable interior; bargain price.

Whether or not you're a fan of the look, the GT-R delivers with dizzying acceleration, including 0-60 times of about 3.0 seconds and a top speed upwards of 193 mph. Shifts are made through an automated manual gearbox. In normal driving, the GT-R's performance potential is hard to tap into, but push a little faster when you get the chance and the driving experience is a little more detached and video-game-like than it should be. That said, handling is excellent and the variable power-split all-wheel drive system helps make you both fast and safe.We doubt any GT-R customers are going to mind the bump in price, especially if Nissan can eek out those extra ponies. Based on the test car spotted at the `Ring, it appears any exterior modifications are going to be extremely subtle, or they're simply not fitted to this specific model. Tape on the front fascia suggests the front grille could be altered but, for the moment, this test car appears identical to the 2013 model year. Don't be surprised if the next GT-R goes through a modest diet, to trim down its 3,825 lb.Up front, the GT-R is very easy to recognize due to its large hood bulge, enlarged central air intake, super-wide-beam headlights and its front fenders with the "aero-blades.” The sports coupe’s rear end gets the hallmark four-ring taillights, a functional rear carbon fiber underbody diffuser, rear venting, rear spoiler and integrated quad exhaust tips.He assures us that the 2014 GT-R’s 545 horsepower; its claimed 3825-pound curb weight (our long-term, 2013 GT-R tipped the scales at 3887 pounds); and sticky, run-flat 20-inch rubber will help the car rocket from 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds (our long-termer hit 2.8), corner at up to 2.8 g, and stop from 60-to-0 mph in less than 100 feet, even in the wet! He says that any changes to this ideal “power-weight-tire footprint ratio” would lead to slower times and less stability.

The Track Edition includes special carbon fiber air ducts in the front spoiler, along with new front and rear brake cooling air guides, to help keep brake temperatures down and ensure maximum stopping power for hot laps. A revised suspension is also part of the package, including specialized Bilstein DampTronic gas pressure shock absorbers and higher spring rates.Nissan discontinued the Launch Control feature due to excessive warranty claims. Since launch control helped yield the former GT-R its excellent acceleration times—with some testers saying the GT-R is a second or more slower to 60 mph without it—Nissan restored it in a limited way for the 2012 model year, while it also boosted total output to 530 hp. In its current guise, the GT-R is already one of the fastest accelerating vehicles we've ever tested. We pitted a 2012 GT-R against a Porsche 911 Turbo S and Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport. Okay, the $2.6-million Bugatti won the 0 to 60 mph sprint with a mind-boggling time of 2.52 seconds.

2016 Nissan Maxima Nismo Concept Release Date

2016 Nissan Maxima Nismo Concept Release Date - Nissan sports car lineup has never been this strong and firm support for the two levels of performance cars has really helped the image of the brand, wqzxc despite selling millions of diluted basis econoboxes Sentra and Versa to pay the bills.

Image topspeed

Maxima is truly at a crossroads before the current re-alignment 4DSC to its roots. The next generation EV even debated to go the full route, with cab-forward wqzxc styling of the 2011 Nissan Ellure concept previews considered second only launched the Altima and Maxima.

Other options on the table will adapt to the latest 370Z chassis for use in rear-drive sedan, or even stretches GT-R of our dreams. The second scenario is much more likely wqzxc than the front-drive layout advanced, but the proportion of low and growing dramatically Nissan dull looks very good.

Keeping the existing layout Maxima is a safe bet because it is the only way to continue the current model $ 31,000 to $ 36,000 price range. Nissan sedan ability wqzxc to sell more volume than $ 40,000 less than a sure thing, especially with a name change and a billion dollars of new Infiniti Q50 sedan to replace the G37.

Replacement Nissan Maxima is finally on track for arrival next fall as a 2015 model or early 2016, with the focus shifting to better differentiate wqzxc the performance flagship sedan of Nissan of the popular (but bland) Altima sedan.

2014 Suzuki Alto Spotted During Testing --AutosExpress

2014 Suzuki Alto Spotted During Testing --AutosExpress.The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. Structures in the dashboard presented a risk of injury to the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Dummy readings indicated marginal protection of the driver's lower legs. Side impact airbags are optional on some variants of the Alto. The current model was launched in 2008 so time has come for a replacement which will be based on the latest WagonR that came out in Japan last year. The car is expected to grow in size compared to the outgoing model and should gain additional equipment inside the cabin. We'd avoid the range-topping SZ4. It comes with lots of standard kit, but there are much better city cars if you're prepared to spend this sort of money. 

The front edge of the bonnet scored no points for the protection it offers to pedestrians' legs. The protection offered by the bumper was marginal. Poor protection was provided by the bonnet in most areas likely to be struck by the head of an adult or a child.Depending on market, the Suzuki Alto is also sold as the Celerio, Nissan Pixo and as a Maruti Suzuki A-Star. These prototypes were seen testing somewhere in the south European mountains and in some of the photos we take a look at the rather modest 90s-like interior cabin.

We all know the trouble Suzuki has been having as of late: no longer available in the US, dwindling sales and a disappearing presence on the market. It’s not that Suzuki make horrible cars out of cardboard, just that they’ve not made one worth any sort of mass recognition in the recent past. Suzuki is exiting the auto business here after 2014 and “realigning” its Canadian retail operations to concentrate on motorcycle, ATV and marine sales. News like that is bound to depress Suzuki’s residual values and this should prove a godsend to used-car shoppers.it had previously sold the short-lived, Daewoo-built Verona mid-size sedan from 2004-2006—but it's the first sedan this size to be designed and built by Suzuki itself. With mid-size sedans becoming somewhat longer and larger, the Kizashi ends up competing most directly against larger compact-sedan models like the Volkswagen Jetta, Chevrolet Cruze, and Ford Focus in the current market.

The 2013 Suzuki Kizashi is without question the most underrated and overlooked midsize sedan out this year. Sadly, it's a great car tied to a dead automotive brand, since Suzuki has elected to quit doing business as a car company in the U.S.But it’s round the back of the 2013 Suzuki Kizashi that I really start to like this thing. Maybe it’s the oversized, geometrical, chrome-tipped exhaust covers integrated into the rear bumper, or the upturned tail with a subtle decklid spoiler that gets me, but the sporty nature of the Kizashi’s rear is quite appealing.Research the latest Suzuki Kizashi body styles, read detailed model specifications and features, compare with other models, and locate Suzuki dealerships near you where you can purchase your next vehicle.

The four-door sedan cast a smaller shadow compared to mid-sizers such as the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima. The previous-generation Volkswagen Jetta is a good reference point, since the Suzuki does a good impression of a European sedan in its driving character.In straight-line performance, the Kizashi won't quite be mistaken for a sport sedan, however. The 185-horsepower (180 with the continuously variable automatic), 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is gutsy, and provides pretty satisfying performance with the six-speed manual gearbox. The CV automatic can bring out the boomy nature in the engine and ramps down the excitement level—unfortunately it's the only way to get the Kizashi with all-wheel drive, if that's a must—but you get access to six simulated ratios through steering-wheel paddle-shifters on all but the base S.

Inside, the oxymoronic experience continues. On the one hand, it’s quite a sophisticated cabin: the 2013 Suzuki Kizashi Sport iAWD features a 6.1” colour touchscreen with Garmin nav and voice-activated commands. HVAC knobs have a solid feel to them when turned and the steering-wheel buttons are both practical and well-placed. And I quite like the futuristic sweep of chrome accent across the dash. Power is supplied by the all-aluminum DOHC 2.4 L four cylinder pinched from the Grand Vitara sport-ute, yielding 180 horses and 170 lbs.-ft. of torque. It works through a Jatco-supplied continuously variable (CVT) automatic transmission, driving the front or all four wheels.

2014 Suzuki XL7 Reviews | Car Reviews by AutosExpress

Suzuki's swapped the ladder frame architecture of the past to create a more civilized XL7, a welcome change from the Vitara roots of the original. The XL7's unitized Theta II platform, on loan from General Motors, also serves as the basis for the Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent. Suzuki also borrows the General's 3.6 liter V6, trying its very best in this application.Based on the Grand Vitara, the stretched XL-7 features three rows of seats and room inside for seven passengers. Power comes from a 170-horsepower, double-overhead-cam, 2.7-liter V-6. Both rear- and four-wheel-drive versions will be offered.

NJ.com has thousands of New Suzuki cars listings, you're sure to find the exact car you are looking to purchase.From behind the wheel the impression is weighty, but the XL7 isn't the road crusher you might think. Weighing between 3,800 and 4,100 pounds is certainly substantial, but not very porcine when considering the space the XL7 offers. Acceleration is plenty quick, Consumer Reports managed to sprint one through the quarter mile in 16 seconds flat, and they found 60 mph in 7.7 seconds. Corvettes were once slower than the XL7, though it doesn't leave the impression of a scorching drag racer. GM's V6 (built by Suzuki in Japan in this case) is willing to spin out to redline with a smooth metallic caterwaul, and the 252 horsepower it delivers works hard. We tried a two wheel drive XL7, so assume that the AWD version gives up some speed. Geared tall for fuel economy, the 2.54:1 final drive teams with a five-speed automatic for serenity at speed. Time was, 250 horsepower was more than adequate for 4,000 pounds, anyway. The steering is weighted nearly perfectly, if devoid of feedback, and the XL7 drives with solid composure. The mission of this vehicle doesn't require constant updates from the contact patches, anyway.

Suzuki SX4 2014 - Suzuki-Sx4-2014 AutosExpress

Suzuki SX4 2014 - Suzuki-Sx4-2014 AutosExpress.Suzuki Motor Corporation has unveiled its all-new SX4 Crossover at the 2013 Geneva International Motor Show. The new Suzuki SX4 Crossover is a production model based on the S-Cross, which Suzuki showcased at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.Seen in its final production outfit at this year's Geneva Motor Show in March, the new generation of the Suzuki SX4 has a couple of months before it begins arriving in showrooms across Europe in late September, so the Japanese company is freshening up our memory with a new collection of photos and the release of output and fuel economy figures. 

Designed to compete with C-segment vehicles such as the new Nissan Qashqai, the Suzuki SX4 will arrive with two 1.6-liter engines, a petrol one rated at 120 HP and 156 Nm, and a Fiat-sourced diesel unit delivering 120 HP and 320 Nm of torque.The main difference of the new Suzuki SX4 compared to the previous model is reflected in the dimensions of the vehicle. The new crossover is much longer and now measures 4.3 meters. By increasing the wheelbase,interior space is increased , especially the rear of the car. It is  also corrected,  the lack of previous generation, which was related to the size of the luggage compartment. 430l trunk volume, we can agree that it is quite enough for a family car, and more than satisfactory compared to 270l, as a precursor.The current SX4 is only available with a 2.0-litre petrol engine which uses a minimum of 7.3L/100km.

Maruti Suzuki has been working on its all-new SX4 for quite some time now and the production-ready prototypes are already out for the first phase of homologation. In fact, our friends at Team BHP have even managed to get photographs of the test mules. The design is a major departure from what the SX4 has worn so far. It takes most of the design cues from the AuthenticS Concept that Suzuki had showcased a few days back.Suzuki created the new Suzuki SX4 Crossover by uniting its compact car know-how with technologies honed for sport utility vehicles. As a result of focussing on giving the new SX4 Crossover distinctive crossover styling, class leading space for passengers and luggage, next generation 4WD performance and one of the lowest CO2 emissions in the segment, it achieves a remarkable combination of styling, utility, performance and fuel economy.

The first powerplant is a 1.6-liter turbo-diesel rated for 118hp (120PS) and 320Nm (236 lb-ft) of peak torque connected to a 6-speed manual and standard start-stop system returning 4.2 l/100km (56.0 mpg US or 67.3 mpg UK) and 110 g / km of CO2 emissions in the combined test cycle.2014 Suzuki SX4 will be offered with two powertrains. The first is aspirated 1.6L petrol engine with 120hp and 156 Nm of torque. Engine power is transferred to the wheels via five-speed manual transmission. As an option for this engine will be available CVT automatic transmission, with a seven-speed manual transmission. Average fuel consumption of the new Suzuki with petrol engine  amount, 5.4l/100km. Another engine that company Suzuki offers for the model 2014 SX4, is a 1.6L turbo diesel engine also 120hp but a double major, a torque of 320Nm. The new model is bigger in all dimensions - 160 millimetres longer, 10mm wider and 10mm taller with a wheelbase that has been stretched  by 100mm - which should allow it to better rival roomier competitors.

The new SX4 will come with a push-button starter (keyless go) like the Nissan Sunny.A micro-hybrid system with brake-energy regeneration has also been evaluated for the new SX4 and could be incorporated on the range-topping version. The new SX4 will be lighter than the outgoing model and will sit on a shorter ground clearance.The contours of the instrument panel overlap the doors and the soft padding is pleasant to touch. The seats are shaped and stitched to convey a sense of sophistication, while the silver decorations create a sporty look against the black interior.But judging by the prices of competitors in the current class, the price could range around $25,000 for a model with basic equipment package.

2014 Hyundai Accent Reviews | Car Reviews by AutosExpress

2014 Hyundai Accent Reviews | Car Reviews by AutosExpress.It's been a busy two years in the subcompact world. Newcomers like the Ford Fiesta and Mazda2 have made it clear they intend to give models like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and segment volume leader Nissan Versa a run for their small-displacement money. Even General Motors is getting into the fray with the upcoming 2012 Chevrolet Sonic after years of trying to pass off the Aveo as legitimate transportation.Versus most of its competition--including the Fiesta, the Fit, the Versa, the Chevy Sonic and the Toyota Yaris--the Accent has a styling advantage, provided we're talking about the five-door hatchback. While the four-door is fine--perhaps a little homely--the five-door nails it, mixing the usual hatchback profile with the cues and details that have become Hyundai's first real design statement. Cabin design is even better, with nice low-gloss plastics and streamlined controls that altogether give the Accent more presence than you'd expect for the price.

while the Hyundai brand was working hard to escape its value-priced image. Over the past decade, Hyundai has emerged to become a formidable competitor, with products that go head-to-head with the best Asian and U.S. products in most segments. While its price remains competitive, the Accent now offers quality and value to buyers seeking fuel-efficient transportation that's solid but low on frills. It offers features that include an available automatic transmission, air conditioning, and in newer models, advanced audio packages and sporty appearance upgrades. It’s hard to imagine that Hyundai can improve upon one of the best subcompacts on the market today. With its 1.6L GDI DOHC 4-cylinder engine having been selected as one of Ward’s Ten Best Engines of 2012, its spacious interior, and full range of high-tech and advanced safety features, there’s not much that they have to do to elevate a car that is already among the top of its class.

Hyundai has wrapped the 2012 Accent in the company's fluidic design styling, and while some feel the language can be a bit overwrought on models like the Sonata, it looks right at home on a canvas this small. Up front, designers have paired the corporate hexagonal grille with aggressive headlights and stylized fog lamps set low in the front fascia for an expressive face that flows easily into the hatchback's side. Lines pull from the headlights into the hood and up the A-pillar for a cohesive look. Similarly, an athletic crease originates at the front fog lights and runs upward all the way to the vehicle's tail lamps for a sense of motion. The Honda Fit has more space, and much more versatility, but even tall passengers will be able to find enough head and legroom in the front seats. Hatchbacks have about 8 cubic feet of storage space, but both Accents have big gloveboxes and bins and trays smartphones, energy drinks, and toll change. All the airbags and electronic assists are present in the Accent, though no official safety scores are in.In November 2012, the 2012-2013 Hyundai was found to have misstated gas mileage figures for the Accent and several other models due to what it termed "testing errors," for which it will compensate owners of the affected models. While the 2012 Accent was initially rated and promoted at 30 mpg city, 40 mpg highway, the EPA deemed its actual fuel efficiency to be 28 mpg city, 37 mpg highway.

Hyundai Veloster Turbo 2014 Release Date Autosexpress

Veloster Turbo 2014 Release Date Autosexpress.The interior and exterior of this car will be made in very artistic so people who drive this car will feel so happy with this car. Actually there is no clear information about this car, but some people tell some predictions about this car so people will know the next model of 2014 Hyundai Veloster for 2014.Yet to be fair, even now, "innovation" isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind when we think of Hyundai. But perhaps it should be. After all, this is the same company that's led the way with radical customer relations plans like Hyundai Assurance (income loss payment coverage and buy-back, guaranteed trade-in values, etc.) and brash products like the 2011 Sonata, which passed on cylinders five and six in favour of forced induction – to say nothing of its unique hybrid variant and brave aesthetics.   

                                                                            
Boasting a design that looks more like a custom SEMA-bound sport compact rather than a production sub-$30,000 hatchback, the new Veloster Turbo dives head first into the hot hatch segment with plenty of extra power and an even more aggressive design to match.There’s nothing naturally fully wrong exploitation the Veloster Turbocompresseur. In truth, it’s terribly spectacular : or otherwise it's with a keep move. the difficulty is which will it’s any determined undertake constructing the lovers automotive vehicle. so what’s missing out on? heaps very. There’s completely no restricted fall differential, zero upgraded headgear components, completely no high performance summer season four tires with no exhaust note. In brief, there’s zero interest. There’s a scarcity of people end splashes, the actual elements you perceive appeared on a automotive vehicle as a result of someone at the corporate frantically wanted in order that it's the quickest, the nice or the foremost pleasant. 2014 Hyundai Veloster will go on sale this fall.2014 Hyundai Veloster Turbo is 014 change twice the power and torque of the horse. The 1.6 platform and will of six box they call EcoShift that interact with the driver, so you know, when accompanied change the speed of transfer. In this way, the engineers hope to improve the use of gasoline. Buyers can choose to buy the new 2014 Veloster with manual transmission. The weight is very important for sports cars. This model retains its weight, making it very light and aerodynamic. His rival, the Honda Civic SI has similar properties.

Most people say that 2014 Hyundai Veloster will do some changes and also improvement in order to create best car for all people. People really need better car. It should use good engine system and offer best performance and appearance.That's thanks to front lights shaped like Parasaurolophus heads and a gaping lower air intake and fascia whose gloss black elements look like they're trying to push their way out from inside the engine compartment. We could do without the faux hood vents, but presumably these are placeholders for the still-unconfirmed turbo model.

Veloster Turbo makes just enough changes to fit its enhanced capabilities without looking like someone went on a J.C. Whitney shopping spree. The styling has been tweaked from every angle to give the Veloster Turbo its own distinct look, and it starts up front with a new fascia showing off a larger grille opening, round fog lights inset in black bezels and a lower chin spoiler. The Veloster's stock halogen headlights have also been swapped with projector beam headlights with LED running lights. Likewise, the rear of the car adds LED taillights, round reflectors that match the front fog lights and, our favorite element, the dual center-mounted round exhaust outlets. Lower side sills and stylish 18-inch wheels with chrome inserts finish off the Turbo-specific design changes. it's nearly 203 millimetres shorter than a Scion tC, or about 140 millimetres longer than Honda's Lilliputian CR-Z, which doesn't have a back seat. It's also a comparative bantamweight, tipping the scales at as little as 1,172 kilograms (2,584 pounds). That's not only lighter than its Japanese rivals, it's less than a Mini Cooper S (1,210 kilograms / 2,668 lbs) – a car that's over 500 millimetres shorter.The Veloster has less interior space (passenger and cargo) than similar vehicles like the Chevrolet Sonic, but instead of trying to cram in five seat belts, the four-passenger seating configuration maximizes rear hip room and makes it possible for four adults to fit in the car without a problem. With 15.5 cubic of cargo behind the rear seat, there is plenty of room for four adults and their gear inside the Veloster, and we also learned that a rear-facing child seat can fit in the back seat with the other side of the 50-50 split rear seat folded down to accommodate a large stroller.

                        

2014 Hyundai Tucson IX Interior Exterior

That 2005 Tucson was available with a 2.0-liter in-line four-cylinder engine rated at 140 horsepower, or a 173-hp 2.7-liter V-6, and a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, the Tucson's three trim levels--GL, GLS, and Limited--divided the powertrains up as fit the model. The GL was available only with the four-cylinder engine, and a choice of the manual or automatic transmission. The GLS and Limited, on the other hand, were available with only the V-6 and only the automatic transmission. This new model debuted at the 2013 Geneva Show as the new European ix35, packing new features and more refined styling. Once the new 2014 model arrives in North America its expected to come with Hyundai’s FLEX STEER system, which allows drivers to choose from Normal, Comfor and Sport steering modes.In the United States, the Tucson's current 2.0-liter generates 165 horsepower and 146 lb.-ft. of torque. Buyers can upgrade to a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder delivering 176 horsepower and 168 lb.-ft. of torque. If the U.S.-specification 2014 Tucson is equipped with the new direct-injection engine debuting in Geneva.

Whereas the European ix35 features the same grille (re-trimmed) as the pre-facelift model, and which is similar to the one used on the current North American Tucson, the South Korean model gains a flashier nosepiece with chromed slats inspired by the new Santa Fe series. he new front look doesn’t come as a surprise as Hyundai had previewed it on the ix35 Fuel Cell production car back in September of 2012. Other than that, the cosmetic updates between the European and Korean market models are the same and include a new set of headlamps with LED daytime running lights, redesigned front bumper featuring re-shaped fog lights, new alloy wheel designs and revised LED-equipped tail lamps.

The changes on the Euro-spec ix35 are not radical at first glance. LED lighting is added in the form of front driving lights and rear taillights, and the ix35 gets a more fuel-efficient gasoline direct-injected 2.0-liter engine, and for the first time, the diesel model (which almost certainly is NOT coming to the U.S.) gets an optional six-speed automatic.

The current Tucson has changed relatively little since its 2010 launch. For 2013, all versions come with standard air conditioning; power windows, locks, and mirrors; remote keyless entry; cloth seats; and an AM/FM/XM/CD player with a USB port. The NHTSA now rates it at four stars overall for crash protection; the IIHS has given it a Top Safety Pick for 2013 as well.The new Tucson also features new front bi-xenon headlights, and a new a TFT Supervision cluster inside, which provides the driver with greater clarity on the vehicle’s data. Finally, the interior has a higher quality touch making the cabin a far nicer place for the driver and passenger. Additionally, the new ix35/Tucson gains Hyundai's Flex Steer electric steering technology, offering Normal, Comfort, and Sport steering tuning.

Just like its European counterpart, the updated Tucson ix features Hyundai's ‘Nu’ 2.0-litre GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) that produces 164hp (166PS) up from 161hp (163PS). Korean buyers can also opt for a 182hp (184PS) 2.0-liter turbo diesel unit.On the inside, the ix35 gets a new 4.2 TFT display in the instrument cluster, and features Hyundai’s adjustable-assist Flex Steer system. Other upgrades include a heated steering wheel, chrome-ringed climate-control system vents, illuminated cupholders, available 7-inch touchscreen audio and navigation system.
