Edwards did not reveal why the new Defender is on hold, though it's thought that the switch to the PLA Land Rover aluminum platform found in upscale Range Rover models are possible causes. This means that the new Defender will most likely remain a premium product and keep off-road prowess.

DC100 concept has its own platform bespoke, although derived from the one used in the Range Rover Evoque and LR2 models. Go premium also means that the new Defender could be built in the UK than the benefit to be sourced from low-cost countries such as India, which is being considered.

Around the same time, reports surfaced claiming the Land Rover Defender is planning a wide range of variants including cheap versions wqzxc to serve as a point of coming British brand in the U.S. market.

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 .

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 .

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.

2013 Suzuki Kizashi Reviews And Ratings

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.

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.

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.

hyundai elantra 2014 review

hyundai elantra 2014 review.I have 20000 miles on my elantra. the first 600 miles I followed the recommended break-in procedure from the owners manual. I drive conservatively and always have eco on. I average 22 to 24 mpg city. very disappointing. dealer checked it out and said all specs were normal. I was doing almost that well with my sonata. My trunk latch and glove compartment have had to be replaced. Noise from front brakes that dealer could not solve.One of the best compact cars on the market, the 2013 Hyundai Elantra continues to be a winning combination of compelling styling, able performance and interior comfort. For 2013, there are more variants to love. 

 it's a mid-size vehicle, and it shows. The sedan's front seats could use a little more bolstering and lateral support, as in the coupe, but on either, they're surrounded by ample space in all directions.

 In back, the leg room is fine for adults, but head room can be tight, even for medium-height passengers. Coupes don't have a simple single-lever arrangement, which makes it a bit futzier to get into the back. The rear seats fold forward easily, if not completely flat, and that allows longer objects to be loaded into the relatively large, wide trunk. The Elantra's interior has lots of useful cubbies and storage bins, including a covered one that sits ahead of the shift lever: it also contains the aux jack, a power point, and the USB port in an easy to reach module, perfect for connecting smartphones.Center console was better with two separate compartments,and was replaced with sliding arm rest which I find useless. Almost impossible to lower back seats except from trunk. trunk latch was stuck so back seats could not be lowered to look in trunk. For the 2013 model year, coupe and GT hatchback models join the Hyundai Elantra sedan, and all body styles have a four-cylinder engine and standard six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic is optional. Most members of the automotive press say that the engine strains under hard acceleration, but agree that overall, the Elantra benefits from accurate steering, smooth transmissions and a comfortable ride. With either transmission, the Elantra has good EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 28/38 mpg city/highway. Test drivers agree that the Elantra GT and coupe are sportier than the base sedan.By pure happenstance I ended up with an Elantra GT immediately after reviewing the 2014 Kia Forte sedan. As I said last week in the Forte review, the Elantra and Forte are related, but this isn’t a case of Korean badge engineering. It’s far more complicated. The Forte is the new kid on the block while the Elantra has been around for a few years. At this stage in life, Hyundai is trying to inject vitality into the Elantra name by adding new models.

In addition to differences in dimensions and styling, the new Elantra Coupe and GT use unique suspension components for a stiffer ride. A V-beam rear suspension, instead of the torsion beam found on the sedan, gives the coupe and GT a firmer, more planted feel, and helps to reduce body roll around corners. Suspensions are tuned differently between models with standard 16-inch and optional 17-inch wheels, with the larger wheels receiving an even sportier treatment.the way the Elantra sedan's rear quarter panels mimic the lightness of the last G6 can't be lost on GM, which now has the handsome but staid little Chevy Cruze to sell. If anything, the Elantra's cockpit's a little more daring than the exterior, with the hourglass of the center console a defining shape that just happens to function perfectly as a comfy knee rest.Reviewers give mixed opinions on the interior controls’ ease of use, and one reviewer is particularly annoyed with the touch-screen navigation system, which fades out in the sun. All 2013 Elantra models have good front and rear cabin space. Test drivers even say the coupe’s second-row seats fit adults, though the sedan and GT’s rear rows are more comfortable.

2014 Hyundai Genesis Spy Photos – News-AutosExpress

2014 Hyundai Genesis Spy Photos – News-AutosExpress.Hyundai one-ups Mercedes with the interior. Hyundai successfully executes simple, elegant interior design with logical button and control placement and layout. Look for modern touches such as LED elements in the headlights and advanced camera and radar monitoring systems. Seeing the 5-Series next to the prototype, it's clear where Schreyer gets his inspiration.The next generation of Hyundai's luxury sedan, which is being designed to take on the competition not just in the U.S. and Asia, but in Europe, too. The new Genesis sedan will sport Hyundai's Fluidic Sculpture styling language: Even though the example caught by our spy photographers at Hyundai's Rüsselsheim, Germany, R&D center is heavily camouflaged, the sculpted flanks and coupe-like roofline are clearly visible. The second-generation Genesis sedan will brim with new tech features, such as full LED headlights and a number of assistance systems.

Engine lineup will probably include a V6 3.8-liter delivering 333 bhp (248 kW) and 394 Nm (291 lb-ft) of torque, together with a beefier V8 5.0-liter rated at 429 bhp (320 kW) and 509 Nm (376 lb-ft). The luxury of this sedan lies in its chrome side strips, and illuminated door sill plates. LED headlights, grill, which is normally divided into vertical stripes, elegant roofline, Folding mirrors, all this gives to this car an irresistible touch. Hyundai Motor Co. team of experts has enriched the new Genesis with new technical features such as the back camera, DVD navigation system and a touch screen. This mid-size sedan will also get an advanced navigation system, which normally has a voice recognition feature. Exceptional materials consumed in the interior of the vehicle, almost to perfection to detail give this vehicle a very luxurious exterior appearance.Those who want a real coupe, however, may still consider the Hyundai Genesis two-door. While the current car can’t fit a V-8 under its hood, Krafcik says the next-gen Genesis Coupe may offer power from a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 or even a naturally aspirated V-8.

The 2014 Hyundai Genesis will ride on an updated version of the current Genesis’ platform. In an effort to make it more competitive with its American, Asian, and European rivals, Hyundai is rumored to have dropped several hundred pounds from the sedan, and spent much time working on a sportier, revised suspension. Though Hyundai’s 3.8-liter V-6 and 5.0-liter V-8 will likely carry over with the eight-speed automatic, our source tells us a 10-speed automatic transmission .Seats are perforated leather, with the driver's seat being both heated and cooled. Front passenger and rear outboard passenger seats are heated, too. The front seats feature fairly flat bottom cushions and well contoured back cushions. The driver's seat has two memory settings and there's a power tilt-telescope steering wheel that powers up and away when you exit the car. Hyundai recently previewed its next-generation Blue Link telematics and infotainment system, which featured Apple Siri voice-activation and Eyes Free as well as Google Maps navigation services. Look for more Internet services as well on future Hyundai models, with full access to popular entertainment features like Pandora, HD Radio and SIRIUSXM.

The next-generation Genesis sedan will use an evolution of its current platform, a rear-wheel-drive architecture that can be modified to accommodate all-wheel drive. This platform is shared with the slow-selling Equus, as well as the Kia K9/Quoris. We expect the Genesis to receive far sportier tuning than in past models—Hyundai is serious about targeting Audi and BMW. The second is a 5.0 liter V-8 with the productive force of 429 horsepower and 386 Nm of torque. It is also worth noting that the European market will be offered as a diesel hybrid engine and a four-cylinder diesel with a production capacity of 220 horsepower. As for the drive, it will biit the rear-wheel drive and all-wheel. It is interesting the fact that this vehicle will be presented at the end of this year or early 2014, when it will be for 6 years from the first appearance of Genesis.

The 2013 Ford F-150 - This Is The Future Of Truck

The 2013 Ford F-150 - This Is The Future Of Truck.It's hard to complain when you're the best-selling pickup truck on the market, and for the new model year, the 2013 Ford F-150 has added a few features, too. That's important, because the competition is gaining ground in their attempt to catch up with this Ford's sales.the Ford F-150 has been one of the best selling vehicles in the U.S. It’s a full-size pickup that can work as a business workhorse or an adventure-seeking family’s daily driver. A rugged pickup, the F-150 has become an American icon. See our 2014 Ford F-150 review for pricing with options, specifications, and gas mileage ratings.

The Ford F-150 is available in no fewer than nine trim levels. These consist of the base XL, sporty STX, well-equipped XLT, rugged FX2/FX4 models, luxurious Lariat, western-inspired King Ranch, extreme off-road Raptor and the opulent Platinum and Limited variants. There are three cab sizes, three bed lengths and of course a choice between 2WD and 4WD. On the one hand it looks great and is laid out sensibly; on the other, it is slow and laggy, and not particularly responsive. As for the buttons underneath, they are large enough to be operated easily with a gloved hand. Unfortunately, trucks not equipped with the MyFordTouch screen use small, finicky buttons that can be hard to hit and the lower set of redundant controls mean you have to take your eyes off the road to change the heating and cooling. Ford already had a good bead on what made the luxury-truck life one worth living, but we had to experience the new-for-’13 range-topping $53,890 4x4 Limited for ourselves, so we sidestepped the bulk of the options sheet and secured one for a test. Our rig added a few nominal extras, including a spray-in bedliner ($475), a tailgate extender ($250), a tailgate step ($375), and a coat of White Platinum Metallic paint ($595), so it landed wearing a $55,585 sticker. For thrifty readers, consider that a comparable F-150 XL with the SuperCrew cab, EcoBoost engine and six-speed auto, four-wheel drive, and 5.5-foot bed starts at a low $37,425.

All engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and either two- or four-wheel drive. Test drivers like the diversity of the drivetrain options, saying that the base engine provides more than adequate power for light work, while the V8s and EcoBoost V6 have muscle for serious hauling and towing. They also like the standard six-speed automatic transmission, saying it shifts smoothly and helps the F-150 return respectable fuel economy numbers. The optional 5.0-liter V8 averages an EPA-estimated 15/21 mpg city/highway, which is decent for the class. The F-150 can tow up to 11,300 pounds, which is among the highest of full-size pickup trucks. The F-150 also receives an above-average safety score for the class.The towing is the best and like the new upgraded styling go it. Interior is a bit quieter from last model and has more horsepower with little added more room. Engine delivers 28 mpg overall which is perfect for a crew cab with me hauling and towing it does well with performance and the interior is more comfortable i like the F-150 more from the last one.

The quartet of powertrains that replaced Ford's old modular V-8s in the 2011 model year are back, unchanged for 2013. The standard 3.7-liter V-6 may seem like the dollar-store choice, until you've driven it with a light cargo load. The six-speed automatic (standard across the board) gets paired with taller rear axles to help it accelerate to 60 mph in under 10 seconds, and gas mileage still pushes the envelope, at up to 23 miles per gallon on the EPA highway cycle.Ford first sold a full-size pickup truck without any passenger-car roots in 1948. Throughout much of the next decades its F-Series pickup trucks came with six- or eight-cylinder engines; three-, four- and five-speed manual transmissions; and a single two-door body style. By 1960, the "F-100" had been christened at the entry level, with F-250 and F-350 versions available with an early kind of four-wheel drive. As most trucks of the era were designed as "flareside" models.Plenty of powerful engine choices are available as well. A 302-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 is the base engine, while the other choices (depending on trim level) consist of a 360-hp 5.0-liter V8, a 365-hp twin-turbo ("EcoBoost") V6 and a 411-hp 6.2-liter V8.
