  • 2015 Subaru WRX S4 Debuts in Japan

    2015-Subaru-WRX-S4-THUMB2015 Subaru WRX S4 has jus been introduced after it was teased a month ago with a special campaign. The sports sedan will be exclusively distributed throughout Japan and is currently available to order. WRX S4 uses the all-wheel drive (AWD) combined with unique overall safety features, superior environmental friendliness and refined quality. The S4 tag at the end of the name of the car shows the four values of “sports performance”, “safety performance”, “smart driving” and “sophisticated feel”.

    WRX S4 is equipped with a high performance 2.0-liter Horizontally-Opposed direct injection turbo “DIT” engine. It produces 304 horsepower (221 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque at 2,000 to 4,800 rpm. Despite these numbers, the vehicle still delivers fuel economy of 13.2 km per liter.

    The unit is teamed with Sport Lineartronic transmission, offering sporty and fun driving. What is more, the Subaru WRX S4 also includes EyeSight driving assist system for enhanced overall safety. Comprehensive body and chassis enhancements have achieved a high-quality ride.

    EyeSight delivers more advanced safety features such as driver assistance at wider angles and longer distances, and color recognition. Other new systems include the Active Lane Keep steering assistance system, Pre-Collision Reverse Throttle Management, Brake Light Recognition, Pre-Collision Braking Control and Adaptive Cruise Control.

    In terms of passive safety, the car employs more high tensile steel plating with strengthened joints with various structures. These changes not only reduce the overall weight of the car but also contribute for a stronger body. In addition, collision-absorbing structure has been used for the hood and bulkhead as well as for the engine compartment side for increased pedestrian protection.

    The exterior design of the WRX S4 expresses strong presence, aggressive but refined styling. The front end was built with the utilization of a nose cone design for a dynamic solid shape. There is the iconic hexagonal grille and the new hawkeye headlights.

    At the rear we see a diffuser-integrated bumper and twin dual mufflers, which emphasize low center of gravity and driving performance. There is also a small rear spoiler which optimizes the aerodynamics. The taillights are with thin shape to highlight vehicle width.

    Inside, the driver’s seat was designed to be like a cockpit, while a D-shaped steering wheel is used for the firs time in a WRX model. The leather-finish gearshift boot features red stitching. Piano black finishes and metallic accents is what emphasize the sporty interior. The coupe is solid black from roof to floor made from quality materials. Red is utilized throughout on stitching and serves to highlight the WRX racing image.

  • Kia describes 2015 Rio Sedan

    2015-Kia-Rio-Sedan_thumb2015-Kia-Rio-Sedan_651

    Kia Motors America has described the new 2015 Kia Rio Sedan – a car that, according to the car maker, combines spirited road manners, tremendous value and cutting-edge features.

    Just like before, the 2015 Kia Rio Sedan belongs to the compact class but despite this the new vehicle comes with a large number of standard features and safety technologies as well as excellent interior space. The new car keeps some of the features introduced in the 2014 Kia Rio Sedan, namely changes to the engine, to the body and to the rear bumper that improve aerodynamics. In addition to that the 2015 Kia Rio Sedan gets to keep the revised smart key remote that offers a folding design for convenience, the water temperature gauge and the enhanced leather-wrapped steering wheel, introduced back in the 2014 year model.

    The new 2015 Kia Rio Sedan is available in three trims – LX, EX and SX. All of them come with different levels of equipment but the same engine – a 1.6-liter GDI four-cylinder unit with the option of having a six-speed manual transmission (LX only) or efficient six-speed automatic. In addition to that the 2015 Kia Rio Sedan LX version now offers a six-speed automatic transmission with an Active ECO system, which optimizes fuel economy when activated. This is a first for the LX trim of the Kia Rio Sedan. The engine, mounted in the car, produces 138 horsepower (101 kW) and delivers 27 US mpg city/37 US mpg highway or 8.7 liters/6.4 liters per 100 km city/highway of fuel economy.

    The new 2015 Kia Rio Sedan packs tons of features that will satisfy everyone looking for a comfort drive. All trims include an AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio unit with SiriusXM Satellite Radio capabilities, and auxiliary and USB audio input jacks for connecting MP3 players with full iPod® and MP3 controllability via the audio head unit and steering wheel-mounted controls. If this is not enough you can upgrade your 2015 Kia Rio Sedan LX trim with the Power Package (automatic transmission only), which adds power windows with automatic up/down functionality on the driver’s window, and remote keyless entry. The EX model offers a chrome front grille surround, power windows with driver’s one-touch auto-up/down, power door locks with remote keyless entry, cruise control with steering wheel-mounted controls2, and a tilt and telescopic steering column, which is also true for the SX version. In addition to that, though, the SX version offers a sport-tuned suspension, front ventilated disc brakes, 17-inch alloy wheels and paddle shifters. The EX version can also be upgraded if you feel like it – for some more money you can get an available ECO Package when the Convenience Package has been selected, which adds Idle, Stop and Go (ISG) technology for enhanced fuel efficiency. The luxurious Premium Package available on the SX trim offers a navigation system with SiriusXM Traffic, push-button start with Smart Key, leather seat trim, heated front seats and a power tilt/slide sunroof, giving it an open, airy feel.

    The pricing of the 2015 Kia Rio Sedan is unknown as of now but we will publish it as soon as it becomes available later this year. In any case, given Kia’s history of offering cheaper models, we do not expect the 2015 Kia Rio Sedan to cost an arm and a leg.

  • Tij-Power Tunes Seat Leon 5F Cupra

    Tij-Power-Seat-Leon-5F-Cupra-THUMBTij-Power Seat Leon 5F Cupra is a project that needs our attention. Tij-Power is a tuning company based in Germany, which is very well known for its intensive focus on the Seat Leon. The subtle adjustments and modifications made match perfectly the general setting of this car. In fact, the improvements made appear like a consistent progression. The suspension has been optimized with Plug & Play Coilovers from KW. They feature a rebound and compression stage, which can be set to pre-adjusted settings: Comfort, Sport or Cupra.

    These settings can be reached by the DDC system in the cockpit. The Comfort setting delivers almost hover-like feeling, the Sport setting adjusts the steering sensitivity and offers direct feedback of the terrain, while in the Cupra mode, the car evolves to a true racecar.

    This modified Seat runs on lightweight OZ Superturismo LM rims in grey finish which come in the size of 8.×19 at the front and 9.5×19 in the rear. They are matched with 235/35-19 tires. Next, this new Cupra was fitted with a tricky exhaust system. Once the pedal hits the floor and the throttle valve is fully opened, the car produces a mighty roar.

    This is accompanied by an infernal sound, which escapes from the hand-welded 76 mm exhaust that begins right after the turbo charger. Tij-Power even says that this sound will remind one of racecars

    Of course, there will be no full customization without changing engine’s parameters. The tuners substituted stock’s intercooler with performance part from Forge. In addition, thanks to the Tij-Power software, the car now yields the breath-taking 375 horsepower (276 kW) and 489 Nm (361 lb-ft) of torque. These numbers result in a top speed of 290 kilometers per hour.

  • 2015 Lexus NX Redefines SUV Design

    2015 Lexus NXLexus is redefining SUV’s design with its new NX, which has characteristics more typical to sportscars than slab-sided 4x4s. The model has muscular curves and agile angles that perfectly exemplify the development of Lexus’s L-finesse contemporary design language. The exterior features a low, sloping roofline, a cab-forward silhouette and flared wheel arches. The defining bodywork lines flow directly from the signature Lexus spindle grille.

    One of the most striking features of the exterior of the car is that it looks like made from a single piece of metal. Lexus actually poured molten metal over the die. The next thing that grabs the attention is the grille flanked by new LED headlamps and daytime running lights. This forms the distinctive “face” of the NX.

    Furthermore, the C-pillar has a wide angle to optimize internal storage width. The crouched look is linked to the NX’s good ramp-over angle performance, while the high point of the roof ensures more headroom for rear passengers.

    The design of the exterior is also made in such way so that it can achieve the perfect balance between distinctive design and aerodynamic efficiency. The rear spoiler ensures smooth flow of air away from the back of the vehicle. In fact, the extensive wind tunnel testing revealed that the best results came from giving the leading edge of the fin an upturned lip.

    The door mirrors and handles have air-cheating design. It features concealed key barrel and integrated single-LED illumination. Beneath the car, away from the direct sight, the designers added undercovers and spats to deliver clean airflow.

    Inside, the cabin offers ample space for everyone. Its front-to-rear couple distance of 962 mm and the high roof design provides exceptional head clearance. What is more, the rear knee room is even greater than in some larger SUV models.

    More space is also offered in the luggage area. The maximum loadspace width is 1,347mm. More storage space is accessible under the luggage board, taking the total luggage capacity to 555 litres in hybrid versions and 580 litres in the turbo petrol.

    There are also various storage points around the cabin. For instance such are the glove and console boxes, a console tray, utility box, sunglasses hold, cup holders and door pocket holders for half-litre bottles.

    The new hybrid NX 300h will be available for order now. Next year Lexus will introduce the NX 200t model, which will adopt Lexus’s new 2.0-litre petrol turbo engine.
