Pathfinder Concept Update – New Videos

We talked about this near the end of last year. It’s the Nissan Pathfinder Concept set to appear on the NAIAS 2012 in Detroit next week. Now, new videos have been posted to keep the excitement alive.

Design is the focus of the Pathfinder Concept, Nissan say – sleek and slippery exterior with a roomy and clever interior that has seating for seven and more-than-enough cargo space. The idea of it is to predispose us to the forthcoming next generation Pathfinder which is set to enter production in Autumn this year.

Mitsubishi Shogun SG4 Black Edition

The newest Mitsubishi Shogun (12MY) has been largely successful on the UK market since its launch so now the company has released a special edition to spice up the product range – Say hello to the Mitsubishi Shogun SG4, Black (long wheel-based)

It’s been on sale since the 1st of January with prices starting at £42,999 (£1,000 more than the standard SG4). The colour schemes for the Shogun Black are the ones which can be found on the standard SG4: Frost White, Cool Silver, Pearl Black, Orient Red and Granite Brown. However, for that extra one grand you get some exclusivity with a satin black styling kit (suddenly the term Black makes sense). It manifests itself in black 20 inch alloy wheels, a black roof, spoiler, wing mirrors, grille and headlight bezels. The door handles, fog light nests and side steps are all also in black.

Since it is based on the SG4, we still get the refined 3.2 Di-D diesel unit which develops 197bhp and some mesmerizing 441Nm of torque. So if, let’s say a mountain needs to be moved, the Shogun is up for the job. Then again, it has to be a reasonably small mountain (around 3.500kg or so) but still, an impressive towing capacity figure. The Di-D is clever too – thanks to low (lowest in its class, Mitsubishi say) carbon dioxide emissions, the engine goes easy on the environment and on the driver’s wallet if we think about road taxation.

Mitsubishi Shogun SG4 Black Edition

Standard equipment is as bundled as it is in a normal SG4 – satnav, reversing camera, electric power steering, the Mitsubishi Active Stability and Traction Control (M-ASTC) and auto lights and wipers to name a few.

What makes the whole deal even more appealing is the 3 year warranty, mileage unlimited policy which Mitsubishi has on the Shogun. One should service a 12MY Shogun every 9000 miles or once a year (whichever comes first) and at the cost of £750, the first three services are from the house.

2012 Cadillac Escalade Security Features

What a start of the year for Cadillac: just underneath the surface of the new 2012 Cadillac Escalade are new security features. Because the segment-leading luxury SUV is at the top of annual most-stolen vehicle lists, the brand has now developed a new way to combat thieves who have pushed and towed the SUV. The Escalade is well-protected against typical drive-away grand theft auto through existing security features and standard OnStar security technology. The aim is to make the Escalade a tough target for thieves without any added inconvenience for customers. The new system features strong protections, while working noiselessly in the background.

To go into details, the new 2012 security enhancements include PASS Key 3+, which is a sophisticated encryption system for the key; key cylinder and ignition system; a more-robust steering column-lock system that makes it nearly impossible to maneuver the Escalade onto a flatbed; an available inclination sensor that sets off an alarm when the system senses an unwarranted change of the angle of the vehicle, such as would occur with towing, flat-bedding or lifting the vehicle; an available shock sensor intended to reduce content theft and push-away theft by sounding the alarm when the vehicle is “shocked,” such as by breaking window glass; and finally, there is also available new wheel lock system to help prevent the theft of Escalade’s wheels and tires.

2012 Cadillac Escalade Security Features

In addition OnStar provides standard security with a distant ignition lock that can prevent the vehicle from starting if a break-in is detected. And if a vehicle is stolen, OnStar will also show the vehicle location and remotely slow the vehicle down to assist law enforcement in vehicle recovery. Furthermore the new inclination sensors will make it more difficult to push or tow this SUV undetected. Unnoticed thefts and break-ins will be also hampered by the added shock sensors and locking devices.

Undeniably all these types of innovative theft prevention technologies are an important step in lowering thefts.
