Mercedes-Benz S-Class Maybach: Car with quietest cabin in the world
It will cost just over half as much as the previous Maybach, which retailed for $379,000 in 2013, although there will be an extensive options list to bring its price way up from the roughly $200,000 base price.
The 2016 Chevy Volt A Plug-In Hybrid
Since the launch of the Chevrolet Volt almost five years ago, a battle has raged over what to call it.
Is it a range-extended electric car as GM strongly preferred, or a plug-in hybrids as others insisted equally forcefully?
GM's goal in calling the Volt a "range-extended electric" car was to underscore its battery range, which for several years was longer than any other car with both a battery and an engine.
Equally important, though, was what that meant for the driving experience: engine-off, all-electric power under all driving circumstances.
That's where the Volt differed from plug-in - hybrids adapted from conventional hybrids, offered by Toyota, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and others.
No matter how hard the Volt accelerated, as long as there was charge remaining in its battery pack, the engine stayed off. None of the other cars could say that.
And Chevy found that its buyers really, really liked that. So it gave them more battery range in the latest version: 50 miles instead of 38.
Now we have the second-generation 2016 Chevrolet Volt, which will land in dealerships in something like six months.
And we now know that its drivetrain is being used in the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid, with a battery pack less than one-tenth the capacity.
2016 Acura NSX supercar debut at NAIAS
The first-generation Acura (or Honda, in most parts of the world) NSX has become a cult classic among enthusiasts, but this model shares little more than a name and a mid-engined layout with its predecessor.
The powertrain consists of a twin-turbocharged V-6 engine mated to a nine-speed, dual-clutch transmission, and three electric motors.
One of the motors is mounted between the engine and transmission to help power the rear wheels, as well as as to provide some degree of engine braking and to further smooth out the transmission's shifts.
2015 Ford Everest revealed
Claimed segment-first driver-assist features include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping aid, active park assist for hands-free reverse parallel parking, and curve control, which detects if the vehicle is entering a corner too quickly and applies braking force and reduces engine torque to safely slow the vehicle.
They are joined by forward alert with auto braking, a blind spot information system, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, roll stability control, trailer sway control, auto high beam, front and rear cameras and sensors for parking guidance, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and seven airbags (dual front, side, curtains, and driver’s knee).
Other Ford-specific safety technologies include emergency assistance – part of Everest’s SYNC 2 infotainment system that automatically relays the vehicle’s GPS coordinates and connects the driver to emergency service responders in the event of a serious accident – and the MyKey system, which allows parents to program the key of young drivers to limit the vehicle’s top speed and audio volume, block incoming calls on paired phones and encourage seatbelt use through persistent warning alerts.
Ford says the Everest will also deliver “unmatched capability and versatility” in its class both on and off road, following an extensive testing program conducted in Australia and abroad.
While Everest retains the Ranger’s body-on-frame construction and front suspension layout, the SUV gets a more sophisticated and car-like solid rear axle with coil springs and a Watts linkage in place of the ute’s leaf spring setup, as Ford targets a more refined and comfortable ride on the road.
The Ford Everest will offer one of the broadest drivetrain ranges in its class, with three turbocharged engines, two transmissions and rear- and four-wheel-drive available from launch.
The new turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine will make its Asia Pacific debut in the Everest. Ford claims the EcoBoost engine delivers more power than a conventional 3.5-litre V6 and is also predicting class-leading fuel economy.
