2017 Volvo S60

2017 Volvo S60

Review

2017 Volvo S60 is no exception. It also offers a nice ride and powerful engines.Now in its fourth model year since its last major update, the 2017 Volvo S60 receives only minor changes. Despite its age, the S60 continues to be a relevant player in the small luxury sedan segment. Its gutsy powertrains have made a strong impression, and last year's introduction of the long-wheelbase Inscription version gave the S60 lineup's viability a shot in the arm.

Interior

The 2017 Volvo S60's cabin a unique personality among its rivals, even if it is starting to look its age.

But there's no denying that the interior leather, vinyl and plastic are quality materials. Dual temperature adjustment knobs and "mode man" pictograms make climate control adjustments simple and intuitive.The Volvo's controls can be operated without looking. Programming the optional navigation system or controlling more complicated vehicle functions, the S60 relies on the standard Sensus system. As is typical among Volvos, the front seats (Comfort, Contour or Sport) offer proper support and outstanding comfort on long trips. In the backseat, the S60 isn't quite as accommodating. The seats themselves are supportive, but space is at a premium — legroom and footroom are tight for folks taller than 5 feet, 10 inches. Both the rear seats fold down, and there's a separate pass-through for skis.The S60 comes with a raft of standard safety features that include antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags and whiplash-reducing front head restraints.

Exterior

2017 Volvo S60 features a more adventurous exterior than its predecessors. The car can have a rugged Cross Country look and are fitted with fender, the latest grille, new bumper and hood, a whole new cover in addition to striking LED headlights. This new vehicle boasts 2.5 inches of increased ride height. The wheels can be found in 18 and 19-inch variants and possess high profile tires.

Driving

The 2017 Volvo S60 is a comfortable and cooperative luxury sedan with ample oomph under the hood, especially in T6 AWD R-Design guise. Despite packing both a supercharger and a turbocharger, it's always well-mannered.The all-wheel-drive system effectively apportions power to individual wheels to maximize traction around turns or on slippery roads.

One thing the S60 is not is a true sport sedan. Instead, it takes a balanced approach to sport and comfort. It's sporty enough not to be a complete wet blanket on a winding mountain road, yet it's also smooth and quiet enough for easy everyday commuting. Testing, a front-wheel-drive Volvo S60 with this engine accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, which is a slower than average time for a small luxury sedan with an upgraded engine.

Engine Specs

The 2017 Volvo S60 T5 Dynamic and T5 Inscription are equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 240 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. EPA fuel economy estimates stand at 29 mpg combined (25 city/36 highway) for the base T5 Dynamic and T5 Inscription, while AWD variants drop to 26 mpg combined (23 city/31 highway. .

Price

It is estimated that this 2017 Volvo S60 will almost certainly be released in the United States market approximately the end of 2015 or early 2016. The high end top features of this vehicle are really going to fetch greater price than what will be the norm for standard sedans. The approximate price because of this vehicle for the current moment is considered to be around $ 45 000.

2017 Cadillac ATS Sedan

2017 Cadillac ATS Sedan

Review

The 2017 Cadillac ATS has eye-catching, angular sheet metal that definitely sets it apart. It also boasts impressively agile handling and many technology features.The ATS is a fine choice for a distinctive luxury sedan.Smaller and lighter than its CTS stablemate, the ATS serves as Cadillac's counter to the BMW 3 Series. Introduced for the 2013 model year, the ATS continues today as fundamentally the same car, though it has received enhancements along the way.Good as the 2017 ATS is, your choices for a small luxury sedan are many. There's the 3 Series, of course. It has more rear seat space than the ATS, and its six-cylinder engine is noticeably more powerful.

Interior

The cabin in the 2017 Cadillac ATS is trimmed in a variety of reasonably high-quality materials, including tasteful wood and metallic accents.When the car is turned off, the sleek, buttonless center stack looks uncluttered and even futuristic. In practice, however, the lack of discrete buttons is frustrating because its use depends on your vision and not simply feel. Some of features, such as the slide bar for volume adjustment, turn out to be more troublesome than conventional controls.Many drivers will find it easy to get into a comfortable driving position, and our experience shows that the firm front seats provide ample support even on long drives.The compact size of the ATS is a blessing and a curse, as its backseat is smaller than those of most other entry-level luxury sport sedans. These tighter backseat confines aren't necessarily a deal-breaker, but be aware that taller adults will find headroom, shoulder room and legroom in short supply.

Engine

Two engines are available for the 2017 Cadillac ATS. All ATS engines come standard with rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated at 272 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is optional, as is a six-speed manual transmission (but only with rear-wheel drive). Equipped with the automatic, the base 2017 ATS is expected to return the same results as in 2016 — an estimated 26 mpg combined (22 city/32 highway) in rear-drive configuration and 25 mpg combined (22 city/30 highway) with AWD. With the manual gearbox, the 2.0T is rated at 23 mpg combined (20 city/29 highway).

The optional 3.6-liter V6 cranks out 335 hp and 285 lb-ft of torque. No manual transmission is available with the V6, but all-wheel drive is optional. The ATS 3.6 is rated at 24 mpg combined (20 city/30 highway) with rear-wheel drive and 22 mpg combined (19 city/27 highway) with AWD.

Price

The pricing on the base 2017 ATS sedan increased by $1,380 compared to the base 2016 model, while the 2017 ATS coupe reflects a price cut of $400. The price on the 2017 ATS-V sedan increased by $230.

2017 Toyota 4Runner

2017 Toyota 4Runner

Review

For 2017, the 4Runner is carried over with minimal changes. The Trail and Trail Premium are renamed TRD Off-Road and TRD Off-Road Premium, and the TRD Pro Series is available in three additional colors.If you're shopping 2017 4Runners, off-road capability is likely a priority or you would be (or should be) shopping station wagons or crossovers. In light of that, the sweet spot in the 4Runner lineup is the TRD Off-Road Premium.Its "Premium" billing, however, adds creature comforts such as heated front seats with easy-clean premium vinyl upholstery, heated power outside mirrors and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Interior

The large cargo hold is quite functional, and the seating area is sufficiently roomy. Easy to climb in and out if you can deal with the step-up height.Overhead off-road controls are a good use of space.

There's plenty of front head- and legroom for tall folks, though we should note the 4Runner we tested did not have a sunroof. The rear seats offer similar headroom. There is a bit less legroom back there, but 6-footers still fit.Rear visibility is surprisingly good straight out the back and is further enhanced by a backup camera, but the rear quarters have the usual SUV blind spots.The new 4Runner has tight gaps outside and an attractive interior. The fabric seats are grippy, easy to clean and good-looking.

Plenty of little nooks in dash plus a decent console bin, glovebox and door pockets.

Exterior

The exterior of the 2017 Toyota 4Runner is marked by black wheels as well as its off-road potential, marking it as a true SUV. The material selection is shifted towards lighter versions, so the new 4Runner will be even lighter and more maneuverable than its predecessors. Between this and the large selection of colors and wheels.

Engine

The 2017 Toyota 4Runner is available in six trim levels: SR5, SR5 Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, TRD Pro and Limited. All share the same 4.0-liter V6 (270 horsepower, 278 pound-feet of torque) and five-speed automatic transmission and are rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. SR5 and Limited models are available in 4x2 or 4x4 configurations and offer third-row seating (for seven occupants) as an option.The 4.0-liter V6 gets the 4Runner up to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds, which translates to easy freeway merging and decent climbing power up long grades. It's not the most powerful engine in the class, but it does the job.The 4Runner's brakes have plenty of stopping power, especially in terms of initial bite.The 4Runner has part-time four-wheel drive, crawl control, active traction control and a rear locking differential. The real gem is the optional KDSS technology that automatically disconnects both stabilizer bars when maximum articulation is needed.

Price

It goes without saying that the price of the 2017 Toyota 4Runner depends on the type of trim as well as the additional equipment you have selected.Otherwise, however, the price should not differ much from last year’s prices. That means roughly $37,000 for the base version and if you want all it has to offer, it will cost you at least another $5-6,000 on top of that.

2017 Lexus CT200h Hatchback

2017 Lexus CT 200h Hatchback

Review

Are you turned off by the bland or bewildering styling of conventional hybrid vehicles? The 2017 Lexus CT 200h might be the sporty-looking alternative you seek. It delivers excellent fuel efficiency along with some nice luxury touches.The 2017 Lexus CT 200h is carried over from last year with no changes.On the plus side, the CT 200h features more athletic handling than the typical hybrid, but that's not a high bar to clear. 2017 Lexus CT 200h excels in, however, is delivering excellent real-world fuel efficiency, a smooth ride and a pleasant interior.

Interior

The 2017 Lexus CT 200h is propelled by a hybrid system that is made up of a 1.8-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a pair of electric motor/generators powered by a nickel-metal hydride battery pack. Total output is 134 horsepower, which is routed to the front wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT. 2017 a CT 200h reached 60 mph in a 10.5 seconds, which is slow by current standards. Fuel economy is excellent, with an EPA-estimated 42 mpg combined (43 city/40 highway). We managed to exceed these estimates in real-world driving, achieving an impressive 47.9 mpg on our evaluation loop and 44.1 mpg in daily commuting.

A rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors are available as options.

Price

The discharge date hasn’t been introduced, However depend upon the place this car might be launch, similar to Canada, Unites State, UK, ect. The bottom worth ought to be round $30,000 for the bottom model and as much as $40,000 for a completely geared up car.

2017 Alfa 4C

2017 Alfa 4C 

Review

Like the old Lotus Elise, the 2017 Alfa 4C treats the driver as an integral cog in the machine rather than a passenger sitting for a ride-along. There's a little bit of leather here and there, but the primary attraction is the carbon-fiber monocoque. The chassis material is not only incredibly strong but also fantastically lightweight, so the 4C weighs only a couple hundred pounds more than a Miata.The downside, though, is that the 4C ignores comfort just as readily as the Elise once did. This is definitely a weekend car as the tight cabin is uncomfortable to get into, get out of and stay in for any length of time. Anything you store in the tiny trunk will warm up quickly because it's situated right next to the mid-mounted engine.

Engine

The 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C should only be considered by buyers willing to live with the inherent day-to-day difficulties of driving a seriously hardcore mid-engined sports car.The 4C is powered by a 1.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque) paired to a quick-shifting, six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels. Standard equipment for the coupe includes a 17-inch (front) and 18-inch (rear) wheels, summer performance tires, LED running lights and taillights, heated mirrors, air-conditioning, power accessories, cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a 7-inch driver information display, Bluetooth connectivity and an Alpine sound system with a CD player, a USB port and satellite and HD radio. The 4C convertible also has a manually operated soft top, leather seats and an alarm system.

Interior

The Alfa Romeo 4C's interior features barely tolerable ergonomics, clumsy entry and exit, little legroom, appalling outward visibility, and virtually no cargo or storage space.Inside the cabin, the new 4C is likely going to receive a new dashboard with slightly more amenities than before as well as a better styled interior.The seats will provide a more comfortable ride than before while being just as light and as standard the car should now come with satellite navigation, a better infotainment system with phone-mirroring technology as well as slightly better materials on the dashboard, seats and door covers.

Price

All of these will certainly come at a higher price with an expected starting point of around $65,000 which will bring it a lot closer to the Cayman than before.

2017 BMW 330e iPerformance

2017 BMW 330e iPerformance 

Review

Make no mistake, the BMW 330e iPerformance is an impressive bit of engineering. This 3 Series sedan is a plug-in hybrid that combines a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission with a battery-electric drivetrain to deliver two distinct modes of operation.

The trunk-mounted battery is compact enough to preserve most of the trunk volume, but with that comes a downside: The battery can only support a lackluster 14 miles of electric driving range.The 2017 BMW 330e iPerformance plug-in hybrid sedan is essentially identical to the 2016 model. The big difference is the name, which used to be the BMW eDrive 330e sedan.

Comfort

The 330e is comfortable in a particular way that will be familiar to those who have owned German cars before. The seats are well-shaped and supportive but not cushy. The suspension is well-damped and can soak up most any bump, but the road never fully disappears. Quiet but not hushed.

Interior

Like any other current BMW 3 Series, the 330e is a pleasant place to pass the time. The driving position is outstanding, the controls are easy to reach and understand, and it's easy to see out. Everyone gets plenty of room, but larger folks in back may wish for more elbow clearance on long trips.Our 330e test car felt modern and up to date when it came to its audio and navigation systems, which feature solid smartphone support and an iDrive controller that finally feels complementary. Has great advanced safety systems, too, that feel effective but remain unobtrusive in the background.

Engine

 Regenerative braking and other electrification benefits improve gasoline fuel economy, but at 30 mpg combined, the gain is uninspiring. A gasoline-powered 330i (the mainstream four-cylinder 3 Series) that never has to be plugged in seems like a better deal because it achieves 27 mpg combined, weighs some 350 pounds less and costs considerably less than the 330e.

Price

IPerformance 330e sebenarnya tidak diragukan lagi akan memukul toko di waktu musim panas ini memiliki harga awal dengan $44,695

2017 Nissan 370Z

2017 Nissan 370Z 

Exterior

The previous 2015 model of Nissan 370Z looked a bit fat and wide from the outside but this new model is carved and trimmed in such a way that it looks sleek and stylish and not stout at all.
