BMW X6 2010 Review

The BMW X6 has already been making waves in the automotive world with its unique concept that is a mix between a coupe and an SUV and yet it's not a crossover! BMW like to term the brute of a car as an SAV or Sports Activity Vehicle. The car, recently launched in India sports a 4.4 litre V8 engine in the top-of-the-line variant that pumps out over 400 PS of power and almost 600 Nm of torque!

Well, if that wasn't enough, the German car maker has now brought out the quintessential tuned-up version of the X6 (if it even needed one!) and has given it the legendary 'M' suffix. The twin-turbo unit now pushes out 563 PS of power and an even crazier amount of torque - 677 Nm! Now that's almost a 40 percent increase in power - that's the power of that awesome 'M' badge! The car also receives a once over on its front and rear bodywork in the form of meaner looking bumpers and alloy wheels that add to the X6's already snarly character.

Toyota Prius

When it first appeared in 2009, variants of the most popular hybrid Toyota Prius which has made a lot of people want, because of his appearance more beautiful. But whether such a performance?
 

That's why variants detikOto test Toyota's popular hybrid universal who have entered this third generation. Location of testing still round Jakarta because the car license plate is still white.
 

From the outside, as designs, quite a change from previous generations. The most striking difference is the addition of fog lamp, while the head lamp, the design is not like the 2nd generation Prius, head lamp now use halogen.
The back is also increasingly pointed horizontally thanks to the addition of a spoiler that provides a unique look at the Prius taillight.
 

Changes also occur in the Toyota logo, this time there are shades of blue as a sign that this car is a hybrid car, a combination of electric motor and gasoline engine.
 

Moving into the cabin, ambiance feels more spacious and more sweet than the second generation Prius. Dashboard undergone many changes and certainly more futuristic. Baggage and passenger seats were bigger than the previous generation.
 

In the center console car cabin built like a bridge that separates the driver with other parts of the car.
 

With the transmission lever which is now blue in the middle console. Like the previous Prius transmission, there's only lever R, N, B and D. To press the parking is located separately in the middle of the dashboard.
On the dashboard was now more buttons to adjust the U.S. and car audio.
While at the wheel now is a new feature that is cruise control on the right. For AC current regulator is on the right side of the steering wheel and control audio and phone to the left of the steering wheel. Rear view mirror control button is located below the steering wheel.
 

The 3rd generation Prius is the capacity of the kitchen swelled to 1,800 cc, after previously only 1,500 cc. Updates occur in such matters of efficiency, such as fuel consumption becomes more efficient.
Immediately, we press the start button to turn on the Prius engine. Still no sound of course.
 

Gas is pressed, the car can still drive with electric motors up to 50 km per hour. The new car uses the gasoline engine when the car was on top speed of 50 km per hour or when the car battery is sucked out.
Oya, unlike the previous Prius, the Prius the third generation there are also 3 modes of driving. Eco Namely, EV and Power Mode.
Eco means the car is in fuel efficient, the gas can be suppressed even minimal, so do not hope you can drive the Prius with this mode. The response of the gas pedal goes down.
 

EV mode is a mode driving with a car battery, of course, when the battery runs out, this car will langsun disable this mode. Similarly, when the car is above 50 km per hour, the car directly into normal mode.
Well if you want to speed, quickly press the Power mode. detikOto can be sped up to 140 km per hour with this mode. Could have been better if the tollway Jakarta Outer Ring is not in crowded conditions.
The modes may indeed regulate the response of the gas pedal. So you get more power but with less gas treadle.
 

From the results of our tests found to accelerate the Prius in the Power mode, to achieve 0-100 km per hour takes about 13 seconds. Not a sports car yes ...
And how much gasoline consumption? Figures that we can is 1:21. This is an improvement over the previous generation Prius reached 1:16 until 1:17.
Although gasoline engines bigger than 1,500 cc to 1,800 cc, even more efficient fuel consumption.
 

Unfortunately because it is not subsidized by the government, whereas in other countries subsidies for environmentally friendly cars became commonplace.
Prius prices in Indonesia are very expensive. Prius price is now increased by Rp 4 million to Rp 589 million. In the year 2009 and then, when the Prius was first launched into ground water, the Prius price reach Rp 585 million.

Land Rover LR4 Review

One of just a few automotive brands in the U.S. to exclusively market SUVs, Land Rover attracts more attention for its Range Rover luxury vehicles than its smaller, equally well-appointed hill-climbers like the LR2 and LR4. And that's a shame, because few vehicles excite the adventurous sense quite like an LR4. Its burnished all-terrain reputation and generous interior space make it a poster car for wanderlust. And where a bigger Rover cocoons you with its genteel English manner, the LR4 encourages you to take the bumpier route overland.

Land Rover did the bulk of its makeover work on the LR4 last year, evolving it from the LR3 with one key addition: a 375-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 that replaced an underachieving 4.4-liter V8. The 2011 Land Rover LR4 carries on unchanged save for new features in its Terrain Response System and a shuffling of options packages. And that's just as well, as the LR4 makes a strong case for not fixing what isn't broke. For the money, few vehicles offer its nearly unhittable combination of luxury and utility.

For 2011, the LR4 features Hill Start Assist, which holds brake pressure as the driver moves from brake to throttle when starting on an incline or climbing. Meanwhile Gradient Acceleration Control (GAC) helps slow the LR4 when starting down a steep grade by modulating the brakes, and works even when normal Hill Descent Control is not engaged. GAC also works in reverse, a nifty feature that will be appreciated by anyone who's lost their nerve approaching a blind crest.

But given that the roughest terrain most LR4s will encounter is a Whole Foods parking lot, Land Rover has infused it with an air suspension to absorb pavement unrest, a rich, soft-touch interior and the contemporary tech amenities that luxury SUV buyers expect (including the overdue inclusion of Bluetooth as standard equipment). On this count, few vehicles can match the LR4's features/price ratio.

But though the 2011 Land Rover LR4 might be a bargain in the showroom, it exacts its premium -- of the 91 octane variety -- at the pump. It is rated at just 12 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway, significantly below most other competing models. And the long-term reliability of Land Rover is still suspect. Buyers who don't need the LR4's formidable off-road chops or eight cylinders might consider the Audi Q7, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. And for nearly $10,000 less, a fully loaded, all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers legitimate trail-busting ability and a comfortable spread.

None of those choices provide the LR4's generous cargo capacity, however. And for those seeking a powerful and well-appointed SUV, a measure of boulevard envy and occasional -- or even regular -- backwoods adventures, the Land Rover LR4 doesn't disappoint.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 2011 Land Rover LR4 is a midsize luxury SUV offered in a single trim level. Standard features include 19-inch alloy wheels, front and rear foglights, heated exterior mirrors, rear parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, leather upholstery, eight-way power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a power tilt-and-slide front sunroof, a fixed rear sunroof, Bluetooth and a nine-speaker stereo with an in-dash CD changer.

The HSE and HSE LUX packages offer additional features. The HSE package adds different 19-inch wheels, third-row seats, rear-seat climate control, a rearview camera, satellite and HD radio, an iPod interface and a hard-drive-based navigation system. The HSE LUX package tacks on the Climate Comfort group (front and rear heated seats, a heated windshield, heated washer jets and a heated steering wheel), adaptive bi-xenon headlights, front parking sensors, premium leather upholstery, a center console cooler box, driver seat memory settings and a 13-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

Some of the features offered in the above packages are offered as stand-alone options. Other optional features include 20-inch wheels, a locking rear differential, a rear-seat entertainment system with six-DVD changer, and a 360-degree parking camera system.

Powertrains and Performance

The 2011 LR4 is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 that makes 375 hp and 375 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission sends power to a full-time four-wheel-drive system.
Using a knob mounted in the center console, the driver can select one of five settings (general, grass/gravel/snow, sand, mud and ruts, and rock crawl) that optimizes engine, transmission and suspension settings for the conditions at hand. The LR4's fully independent suspension also uses electronically controlled air springs to automatically adapt to virtually any terrain or off-road challenge.
In Edmunds testing, an LR4 ran from zero to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds -- not bad for a vehicle that weighs about 5,700 pounds. No surprise, then, that it rates just 12 mpg city/17 mpg highway and 14 mpg combined. Properly equipped, the LR4 can tow up to 7,700 pounds.

Safety

 

Safety features on the 2011 Land Rover LR4 include antilock disc brakes, traction control, stability control (with rollover mitigation technology), hill descent and gradient control (limits initial acceleration down an incline), hill start assist, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags (including the third-row seat when selecting the HSE Lux package or stand-alone third-row seat option).
In Edmunds brake testing, an LR4 came to rest from 60 mph in 126 feet, an average distance for a luxury SUV

 

Interior Design and Special Features

The LR4's interior doesn't swaddle passengers in silky grades of premium leather like the high-buck Range Rover, yet it leaves little to want. The seats, steering wheel, dash and console use high-quality materials that feel rich to the touch. Stadium-style rear seating (with ample leg- and headroom) along with large side windows and a fixed rear sunroof contribute to the cabin's expansive feel.
The assorted switchgear, dials and gauges -- even the analog clock -- look and feel modern, as do the high-tech features, which range from a five-camera 360-degree parking-assist system to a touchscreen navigation unit that can track your course off-road. The LR4 shines in its more customary role as urban/suburban mover with fold-flat second- and (available) third-row seating. Raising and lowering them can be a struggle, but 90 cubic feet of cargo space is the worthwhile result.

Driving Impressions

The 2011 Land Rover LR4 shares its powerful V8 with its distant Jaguar relatives, erasing a power deficit that plagued the preceding LR3, while the six-speed transmission is quick-witted and smooth. Tight steering helps the LR4 feel crisp and maneuverable in parking lots and campgrounds, but its tall profile and high center of gravity limit its handling abilities in corners and curves. Still, the highway ride -- where we envision the LR4 will serve the bulk of its duty -- is quite comfortable. The minority of owners who press the LR4 into regular off-road service, however, will be rewarded with one of the stoutest and most capable four-wheel-drive systems on the market.

2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara JLX-L V6 Review

The Suzuki Vitara is old news. Introduced in 1988, it’s in fact a contemporary of the Jeep Cherokee, the grand daddy of all SUVs. The Vitara has become known as « Grand » over the years, both figuratively and literally. As it has grown in size and gained muscle mass since the days of the first Vitara's, so too has its equipment considerably improved. However, one thing never changed: the Japanese machine has always remained a hard-core SUV, ready to tackle the deepest, darkest woods. This is one book you can judge by its cover.

Contrary to the Nissan Rogue, the Honda CR-V and the like, the Grand Vitara is a TRUE off-road machine. Its generous ground clearance and short front and rear overhangs are proof of this.

Of course, most Grand Vitara buyers will rarely venture off the beaten track.

They’ll have chosen it instead for its reasonable size, its decent towing capacity and its average overall fuel efficiency, as well as its sturdy build and spacious, versatile cabin.

In Canada, the Grand Vitara family is of a simpler nature. The four-wheel drive system with low mode and the automatic transmission are both standard equipment, effectively eliminating the rear-wheel-drive and manual models seen in the US lineup. On the other hand, who’d be interested in a pseudo off-roader like that?

4-banger or V6, that is the question
In this light, when you go for the Japanese SUV, your choice basically boils down to the type of engine. Shall we make it a 4-cylinder mill or a V6? Endowment-wise, JLX and JLX-L (the mid-range, most opulent version) variants exist for these two engines. The entry-level JX, a somewhat “lighter” version, can only be powered by the 4-cylinder number. Which is only logical, as it banks above all on affordable pricing ($27,995).

So the choice of engine should be made according to the use the Grand Vitara will be put to. If towing prowess is a priority, again, in Canada all the Grand Vitaras are similar, featuring the same towing capacity of 1,360 kg or 3,000 lb. Yikes! That’s enough to haul a trailer laden with a small boat, an ATV or a motorcycle.

The answer to the question above is found in the engines’ output. The V6 has a dual advantage over the 4-banger, churning out 230 hp instead of 166 and 213 ft-lb of torque at 3,500 rpm instead of 162 ft-lb at 4,000 rpm. Translation: the V6 has more towing grunt to offer.

Ford Fiesta 2010 Review

New car report; Extended Fiesta range.

Ford’s funky little Fiesta hardly seems to have been around long enough to warrant a facelift, but to complement the numerous engineering enhancements for 2011 the exterior has been given a makeover too.

Exterior modifications are kept to a minimum, with subtle changes to the lower grille, new wheel designs, body-coloured bumpers, new paint colours and some changes to interior trim materials.

But the real changes are those that are more than skin deep, with the useful technical upgrades enhancing an already very capable car.

When launched in 2009, Ford offered two Zetec models; a 1.6 litre manual and a 1.4 litre automatic. We found the 1.6 manual particularly impressive, but while the 1.4 automatic was a very good city car, we felt it struggled a little on the open road, not only due to the smaller engine capacity, but we would have preferred a five speed auto over the four speed unit Ford had opted for.

But for the latest round of enhancements, Ford has gone one better and given us two more ratios in the form of a six speed Power shift automatic, as well as upgrading the engine capacity to 1.6 liters. All manual versions retain a 5 speed ‘box.

Zetec models continue with the sporty theme, with sport suspension, a sport body kit and more bright work for the new model, with chrome accents around the front fog lights on the outside and bright highlights in the cabin.

The new Powershift automatic transmission is of the new dual clutch design we’ve raved about in other vehicles previously, and its fitment in the 2011 Fiesta gives us yet another box to tick on the positive side of the ledger for Ford.

More models to appeal to more buyers.

The Fiesta range has also been extended to include a wider model range, giving buyers a greater number of options to choose from.

In addition to the manual and automatic Zetec models, Ford has introduced a pair of lower priced petrol powered LX models, one manual and one auto, as well as a manual LX diesel, added to the previously announced range-topping ECOnetic model, also with diesel power.

As the name suggests, the Fiesta ECOnetic is the environmentally friendly, greenest model in the range, returning a claimed 3.7l/100km, making it New Zealand’s most fuel-efficient vehicle according to Ford. The ECOnetic has many of the usual array of fuel saving enhancements, including low rolling resistance tyres and a re-mapped engine management, although there’s no stop/start system as with many of the ECO competitors.

The 1.6 litre petrol engines for both manual and Powershift automatic versions produce 89kW of power and 151Nm of torque and regardless of transmission Ford quotes a fuel consumption figure of 6.1l/100km. Pricing starts at $23,990 for the LX petrol manual and $25,990 for the automatic, while the Zetec models command a $2,000 premium at $25,990 for the manual and $27,990 for the auto.

The LX 1.6 diesel manual with a 66kW/200Nm 1.6 litre power plant achieves a quoted 4.4l/100km and retails for $25,990 while the ECOnetic diesel with the same engine capacity produces 70kW/200Nm, with a retail sticker of $30,990.

Ford's global car plan realised.

Ford told us at the original Fiesta launch that their new baby was to become a truly global model, and with the introduction of the enhanced model range, most models for our market are now no longer coming from Europe, but are built at a plant in Thailand.

While every bit as good on the road as the European built Fiesta we had before, the soft touch dash top material has gone and made way for a harder plastic moulding and the spare wheel has been replaced with a Tyre Mobility Kit (TMK). Also, we're used to seeing double clutch auto's having a manual mode and paddle shifters, but no such gadgetry for the Fiesta.
A spare wheel can be ordered as an accessory item and perhaps manual shifting isn't needed in this sector, but we wonder why the Thai plant couldn’t match the nicer quality dash finish of European built car, which is still present in the  ECOnetic model which continues to be built in Europe.

The high equipment levels that impressed us back in 2009 remain, with all models fitted with Bluetooth, voice activation, USB and Aux interfaces for personal entertainment devices, steering wheel mounted audio controls, cruise control and safety features including curtain airbags and Dynamic Stability Control.  

Still the like able little car it always was, buyers now have more choice, more power in automatic models and a world class transmission.

Honda CR-Z Review

That said the CR-Z is as different a car to the CR-X as a zebra is to a horse. Standing in the cold chill of an approaching Japanese winter, the blood-red CR-Z basked in the warm sun and showed off its curves in splendid galore. The basic body style harks back to the original car from the 80s with its low bonnet-high boot config, but that was just about it. The best part is that Honda’s designers haven’t attempted a CR-X redux, but started afresh with heavy 21st century technology injected in its DNA. Modern-day norms have dictated the CR-Z’s styling quite a bit as can be noticed in the absence of a sharp front end or even the missing flared wheel arches - all sacrificed in the name of increased pedestrian safety, but none of that takes away from the fact that the CR-Z is a super-hot I’d-exchange-one-for-my-girlfriend kind of car. All the way from the horizontal slats on the massive front grille to the split-window rear, it's as if the CR-Z is just tempting you to take it for a drive, and that we did. Strapped into the driver's seat you immediately notice how the CR-Z has been designed around the driver with all the necessary controls centered towards making life behind the wheel as less of a stretch as possible. The small-diameter steering wheel and the funky three-pod instrument cluster that changes colour depending on what mode you’re driving in and how efficiently you’re using your right foot extends the sporty feel that the car's styling starts out with on the outside. The air-con controls are all next to the cluster mound and even the optional sat-nav screen is ever-so-slightly biased towards the driver's view. Then you slot the 6-speed manual transmission into gear and your life changes.

The boffins at Honda's R&D centre have been spending quite some time around researching for advanced engine technology and alternate propulsion systems. We’ve had a taste of their hybrid drive technology right here in India as well in the form of the Civic Hybrid. They call it Integrated Motor Assist or IMA for short and what it does is mate an electric motor to a gasoline engine to help with acceleration and heavy-traffic situations - basically driving conditions that tend to burn up a lot more fuel in a gasoline-only setup thereby bringing emissions down and efficiency up. While the Civic Hybrid may have left yours truly a tad disappointed with the complete lack of performance compared to the normal Civic (going hybrid shouldn't mean sacrificing on driving pleasure now, right?), and the likes of Ferrari and Porsche's hybrid programmes may well be within out of reach, what the CR-Z has attempted to do is bring the performance-hybrid genre within the reach of the more common man.

An estimated 0-100 km/h time of sub-10 seconds is testimony to that fact. I know what you're thinking, but even though the CR-Z isn’t as quick off the line as we enthusiasts would want our rides to be, it still brings about a great balance between going fast, saving the earth and being able to afford doing so. The trick lies not only in the 1.5 litre petrol engine making 124 PS @ 6000rpm and 174 Nm between 1000-1750 rpm but also in the electric motor that is capable of making 13 horsepower and 79 Nm all on its own. With growing environmental responsibilities, this setup has enabled Honda to reduce the driving component of CO2 emissions as far as possible through the life cycle of the CR-Z.
