  • Chevy unveils a new Equinox SUV machine. And it is definitely worth the check!

    2018 Chevrolet EquinoxChevy has revealed the fresh 2018 Equinox, a modern-day SUV with tons of special features and tons of additions. Definitely it is a fine-looking vehicle and definitely we do expect nothing, but the best, when it comes to a Chevrolet automobile. So, let’s see what does this bad boy bring to the table.

    Exterior styling

    2018 Chevrolet Equinox

    Definitely expressive. And muscular. We see a super-confident body language with neat lines and elegant curves that together enhance the massive body parts. We also see some known shapes and forms that were taken from the Volt, Malibu and Cruze models. After all, a vehicle should resemble style with its brothers, right?

    In fact, the styling concept of the Equinox is closest to the Malibu. There are similar Projector-beam headlamps, LED daytime running lamps as a standard, horizontal taillamps that emphasize the muscular rear-end and bring the styling even closer to the Malibu.

    Of course, we do like the exterior styling of this one. For me personally the features are the masculine body, aggressive stance and clean, yet super-expressive lines and curves.

    Interior styling

    2018 Chevrolet Equinox

    Following the exterior concept, the interior is also elegant and expressive: the instrument panel is down-and-away, the low windshield offers outward view, while the denim-dominating coloring enhances the ambience of comfort and luxury. Also, there are some pure functional additions: a new “kneeling” rear seat and bottom cushions that tilt forward when the split-folding seatbacks are lowered for easier loading the flat floor. Sweet.

    Technology features

    Along with the stylish interior, there are numerous technologies that make the vehicle even more appealing from the inside. For example, buyers will be dealing with a 7-inch and 8-inch MyLink infotainment systems that also support Apple CarPlay and Adroid Auto systems. Basically, these give anything a modern driven and passenger would want in a vehicle: information about car’s condition, navigation and some purely entertainment-based features. Sweet.

    Safety equipment

    2018 Equinox is geared with numerous technologies that look after the health of driver and passengers. The most notable addition is the so-called Teen Driver system that allows parents to set controls and review in-vehicle data in order to create safer driver habits for their young drivers. What is good about this system is that it works even when parents are not in the vehicle.

    Furthermore, there are numerous more active and passive systems. For example, Chevy team geared new safety alert seat, new surround vision system, new forward collision alert with following distance indicator, low-speed forward automatic braking systems, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, rear seat reminder and many more.

    Drivetrain system

    2018 Chevrolet Equinox

    Now we are talking! Drivers will be dealing with mighty engines and sporty drivetrain system setup. There are a total of three engines that range from 1.5-liter turbo, through a 1.6-liter diesel and a larger 2.0-liter turbo unit. Also, the 2018 Equinox is the first in the lineup to include only all-turbocharged multi-engine setup.

    Also, there is a switchable AWD system that enhances both efficiency and vehicle’s overall capability and versatility. Sweet, right?

    So, how do you find the latest family member? We tend to like this one!

  • Bentley Bentayga 2017: ugly, but still expensive!

    2016 Bentley Bentayga Diesel Bentley Motors has just revealed full details for the latest Bentayga Diesel model. Simply beautiful and luxurious, this vehicle has a lot to demonstrate. So, let’s waste no more time and dive into car’s features!

    Exterior styling

    2016 Bentley Bentayga Diesel

    We see a rather familiar style language: expressive front-end with a well-known face shape, clean lines and curves, none excessive additions that shape the character of the sides and rear-end. In fact, the rear showcases a rather simplistic, yet elegant shape. One more time, there is nothing unneeded and unwanted. Not bad.

    What we do not like, though, are the SUV-based body proportions. It looks sporty and aggressive, but we tend to link the Bentley name with stylish, massive and elegant vehicles. However, a bit of experimenting is never a bad thing. The distinctive character is enhanced by black matrix grille, neat 20-inch wheels that can be further changed with even more beautiful 21-inch Mulliner Driving Specification set.

    Long story short: it is not an ugly vehicle, but we definitely have seen far more stylish design solutions.

    Interior styling

    2016 Bentley Bentayga Diesel

    Aah, much better. Now we are talking about Bentley styling. Expressing luxury, precision and comfort, the cockpit is entirely dominated by hand-selected veneers, all handcrafted and hand-built. The Bentayga is available with exclusive Mulliner Hamper set that brings refrigerator, Linley china cutlery, crockery and crystal glass and storage area for dry goodies. Sweet, right?

    Furthermore, the ambience of luxury and exclusivity is further enhanced by the numerous wooden components, overall smooth details and components and for some reason for this contrast white stitching that, personally for me, brings some sort of unexplainable feeling of comfort.

    Drivetrain system

    Bentley team has already revealed the full specification of the lineup! Buyers will be dealing with a rather powerful machine. Something more: Bentley team has the ambition to deliver us the fastest and most agile SUV produced to this date. Brave. Let’s see whether they succeeded in the daunting challenge.

    Under the hood buyers and enthusiasts will find a triple-charged 4.0-liter, 32 valve V8 machine. Scary, isn’t it? This bad boy delivers a total of 429hp (320kW) and the titanic 900Nm of torque. Or, in other words, the Bentayga Diesel is capable of reaching a top speed of 270km/h (168mph) and accelerates from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in mere 4.8 seconds. Not bad. Not bad at all!

    There is also a special exhaust system that was created exclusively for this mode, a Selective Catalytic Reduction system that reduces the nitrous oxides, Bentley’s stop-start system, Electric Power-Assisted Steering is also present, just as Electronica Stability Control, Traction Control and Hill Descent Control. Sweet.

    Additional equipment and goodies

    2016 Bentley Bentayga Diesel

    The Bentayga is geared with numerous known and unknown systems and tweaks that enhance the feeling of comfort and luxury. For example, there is this special infotainment system that also enhances the safety rates and convenience of the vehicle. It adds Driving Dynamics Modes, Responsive Off-Road Setting and more.

    Furthermore, the Adaptive Cruise Control includes Stop&Go function, Predictive ACC and Traffic Assist functions are also present, along with Traffic Sign Recognition, Rear Crossing Traffic Warning, Top View and Park Assist systems.

It expresses sharp and aggressive face, along with neat lines and curves. The front end demonstrates beautifully-shaped headlights, two grille grids and overall sporty expression.

    The sides continue this concept of sportiness and dynamics: they got these sweet curves at the front and rear side, but at the middle we see sharp lines and overall clean looks. Definitely a stylish decision. Also, the new style of the wheels contribute to that contemporary and badass styling. The rear resembles the front-end with the dual-grille design and the neat taillights shapes. In fact, this taillight design is far more interesting the front lamps. Connected to each other via the sporty wing, the lamps do contribute to the aggressive styling and also bring some functionality: we are pretty sure that there are some new illumination technologies and improvements incorporated.

    The interior shows simple, yet functional layout, additional technological features and of course, high-quality materials. In fact, Honda team also claims that this is by far the most spacious cabin on a Civic vehicle.

  • Vilner with another unsurpassed project based on the strong Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

    Vilner Jeep Grand Cherokee Front View

    The Bulgarian-based tuning studio creates the ultimate interior for the mighty machine

    After a strong teaser campaign in Facebook, the latest project of the ultimate interior tuning studio Vilner, is no longer a secret. As the tuner says, the car is a “very special one”, but not only because it is based on the strongest among all Jeep Grand Cherokees, but also because of something rather peculiar. There are three initials included in this project. However, these aren’t the SRT (Street & Racing Technology), but the SAS that stands for Special Air Service (a special branch of the British Army).

    This variant of the Grand Cherokee is probably the best for the implementation of the idea that the designers had. It is driven by the 6417cc V8 unit, which produces 470 hp and 630 Nm of torque. So, it is kind of a military project, where the aforementioned initials have been embroidered in the headrests of the front seats.

    SEE ALSO: Single malt Jaguar XJ by Vilner is infused with aristocratism and individuality 

    If you wonder what has been left of the original interior, well it is not much: elements like the lining of the seats stay where they were; the carbon fiber trim and some plastic surfaces on the dashboard are there, too.

    Vilner Jeep Grand Cherokee Interior pic one

    Everything else has been reworked. The SRT initials have been embroidered on the sun visors, the ceiling and blind glass hatch have been too modified. The materials are high quality black fabric with a fine weave and red Alcantara color, which by the way is also repeated in other places in the cabin. This color combination is directly related to the missions of SAS.

    The columns also are “bathed” in red Alcantara as is a substantial part of the door trim. The central tunnel has been covered with a combination of black & red Alcantara as well. Furthermore, Vilner added gray contrast stitching where needed, while the belts were replaced with red bands and their plastic machines have been wrapped in Alcantara cases. The base parts of the seats have too been spoiled with the noble fabric.

    To sum up, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT by Vilner combines the brutal technique and power of the SRT, with the elegant and unique approach to the studio. By the way, the motto of SAS is worth of mentioning: „Who Dears Wins”. And this project is the ultimate example showing that this is possible.

  • Exclusive handmade exhaust system for Mercedes-AMG C63? Why not!?

    A rather sweet upgrade: there is an exclusive exhaust system from CL by Christian Lübke that not only fits the aggressive style of the Mercedes-AMG C63 vehicle, but also contributes to even higher levels of performance and agility. This is a special handcrafted system limited to only 100 units and each single one of these is a piece of art by itself.

    As you might know, Christian Lübke is named “the engineer with passion” and has delivered numerous pieces of technology that can easily be classified as a piece of art. And just like his previous inventions, the latest exhaust system is no exception.

    2016-Christian-Lubhe-Mercedes-AMG-C63-Back

    But let’s put aesthetics aside for a second. In terms of performance, this one has a lot to demonstrate. It maximizes the overall big potential of the bi-turbo V8 AMG power unit and contributes to better calibration and lower backpressure of the CL 3.0-inch diameter pipe. Or, in other words, the new system enhances the capabilities of the vehicle in incredible way: there are a total of 620hp (462kW) that make it possible for the vehicle to go from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in less than 4 seconds and chase a top speed of a bit more than 300km/h (166kW).

    SEE ALSO: New Mercedes-AMG roadsers are here! Check them out! It is worth it!

    Further bonuses include electronically controlled sound flap that is directly connected to the AMG performance controller and a choice of three selectable driving modes: Normal, Sport and Sport+. What these are doing are to enable the driver to choose between restrained growl, deep burble at low crankshaft speeds and turn it to a race scream. Cool.

    And last, but certainly not least, the special exhaust system is offered with a set of 20-inch Fa. Schmidt alloys that are also exclusive for this project. They feature fine balance between hi-tech spirit and luxurious styling. And are definitely worth the check. Trust me!
