While we are waiting for the first official images and details of the new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, the Korean car maker has dropped a commercial revealing in it the SUV in its full glory. The new Santa, we have to say, looks better in the flesh than what we saw in the official sketches and preview photos.  In fact, 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe seems to have migrated from the average, affordable SUV category to the high-end, luxury class. The lines that make the the serious face of the new Santa Fe, the slim headlights, the sophisticated grille and the whole profile of the car which is entirety new and a lot less ‘generic’ than the previous models, they all point to the fact that with the new model Hyundai is after a different class of customers. [embedded content] And it’s not just the looks, either. As this rather funny commercial clearly shows, the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is also packed with up-to-the-minute technologies. Some of this, like the system that monitors the rear traffic and locks the door if your child suddenly decided he or she has to jump onto the street, are not seen before, at least in the price range to which the Santa Fe belongs. You will also get the latest connectivi, ...ادامه مطلب

Visitors to this year’s Chicago Auto Show got their first glimpse at the new 2018 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid models. The latest version of the green Sonata offers a hard to beat blend of performance and efficiency, enough to cement the car’s position in the market as one of the top players.  Powering the 2018 Hyundai Sonata is a 2.0-liter Nu GDI four-cylinder engine coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission that houses a powerful 38 kW electric motor.

The partnership between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing is legendary. Every time AMG comes up with a new supercar the boat makers release a special model celebrating that car. And so now it is time for a speedboat version of the AMG Project One, and it’s called Cigarette Racing 515 Project ONE. Right now we only have a teaser drawing of this magnificent thing to drool over, but the wait is not going to be long since Cigarette Racing 515 Project ONE will be revealed next week at the Miami Boat Show (February 15, 2018). Judging by what we can see, the boat tries to replicate the unique look of the hypercar with a special paint work featuring a silver base and black accents. As the sea-faring equivalent of the Project one, is also going to be fast. Like, really fast. And just like the car, it is going to be the privilege of a select few to enjoy its looks and performance.

The mid-size SUV segment is ordinarily where you find the boring stuff. But with the new 2018 Chevrolet Traverse RS General Motors is breathing a new life into this market, offering a nice blend of style, practicality and performance. The $43,095 MSRP the Traverse RS carries may seem a bit high at first, but not after you’ve known about what it has to offer.  Chevy’s design, especially with mid-range cars, has not been something worth writing home about in recent years. That is also the case with the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse RS, even though it does feature some nice and sporty elements. There is black grille, black window trim, black roof rails and black bowtie emblems, along with 20-inch rims in Dark Android finish. But still, the looks here are not what would make you go wow. The performance is a lot more interesting than the appearance with the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse RS. under the bonnet the SUV features a Ecotec 2.0L turbo engine that chus out 257 horsepower (192 kW) and 295 lb-ft of torque (400 Nm). This engine is gutsy from low rpm, meaning that you are never short of power for overtaking. It also does well economy-wise, retuing 20 mpg in city driving and 26 mpg on t, ...ادامه مطلب

They share three available exterior colors of Super White, Midnight Black Metallic or Voodoo Blue. And they all come in their new versions with 2.5-inch TRD Pro-exclusive Fox Inteal Bypass shocks.
