Hyundai is giving its Santa Fe a new lease of life in Europe thanks to new powertrains and a lightly refreshed interior and exterior. As with the Korean market model, the European Santa Fe gets a new three-slatted body-colored grille, restyled bumper, tweaked headlamps and fog lights up front, while new tail lamp crystals, a revised bumper and twin exhausts sum up the changes at the rear. The 2010 model also features new alloy wheel designs, and redesigned side sills and roof rails.
Revisions to the interior are even more subtle and are limited to what Hyundai describes as "a new Supervision instrument gauge cluster", a built-in navigation system, an optional rear view camera and refreshed trim.
The most important upgrades are hidden under the bonnet as the 2010 model year benefits from the introduction of a new 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine, which produces an output of 197 horsepower and peak torque of 422Nm (311 lb-ft) between 1,800 and 2,500 rpm.
Matted to a six-speed manual transmission, the new 2.2 CRDi engine launches the Santa Fe from zero to 100 km/h (62mph) in 9.5 seconds, an improvement of 1.8 sec over the outgoing 155HP diesel model, and on to a top speed of 190 km/h (118mph) while returning 6.6 lt /100km (35.6 mpg US) in the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 174g/km.
The new entry-level petrol engine is Hyundai's 2.4-liter four-cylinder Theta-II unit that makes 174 horsepower. Acceleration from standstill to 100 km/h comes in 10.7 seconds while the Santa Fe 2.4 achieves a top speed of 190 km/h (118mph) with an average fuel consumption of 8.5 lt /100km (27.7 mpg US) and CO2 emissions of 203g/km.
Both engines are offered with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard and optionally, with Hyundai's new six-speed automatic transmission.
Already introduced in South Korea, the refreshed 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe will make its European debut at next week's Frankfurt motorshow and go on sale in most markets towards the end of the year.
Spy shots don't come any clearer than this! Our spies have caught Volvo's curvy new S60 saloon, completely undiguised and in production trim, at a photo shoot in Sweden.
Taking its inspiration from the stunning S60 concept, which made it's debut at the Detroit Motor Show this year, the showroom-ready version features the same swooping coupe roofline and neatly rounded edges. It's even painted in the same copper-coloured paint job!
Gone are the concept's suicide doors and carved crystal centre console, but the S60 still promises to showcase some cutting edge technology. A 1.6-litre direct-injection turbo engine, mated to a twin-clutch transmission promises to deliver outstanding fuel economy and punchy performance, while advanced safety equipment such as full auto braking with pedestrian detection will come as standard.
The S60 will make its official world debut at the Detroit show early next year.
Lexus has apparently released this new front-end shot of the Frankfurt Motor Show-bound LF-Ch hybrid concept car, now making the rounds on the Internet. The hatchback is quite a looker, especially coming from Lexus, whose present lineup is relatively staid in appearance. Unfortunately, the body style is likely to be a Europe-only thing, where the eventual production version will cross swords with the likes of premium-compact rivals like the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series. It sure wouldn't hurt if Lexus decided to migrate that more assertive face to some of its U.S.-market cars, though. As it stands, this has a lot more visual appeal than the Lexus HS250h we get in these here parts. Stay tuned for a lot more on this car as it makes its formal debut in Frankfurt later this month. We'll be there, as always, to bring you all the details.
Toyota(豐田)的高級品牌Lexus(凌志)在過去的9年裡一直蟬聯美國豪華車市場的銷售冠軍。但在今年的前7個,月德國BMW(寶馬)的銷售量超過了Lexus。根據Detroit News報道,BMW北美CEO Jim O'Donnell表示:「BMW現在與Lexus的競爭非常激烈,在前7個月BMW的銷售量有些微的領先,不過我們預測隨著市場的恢復,在第四季時BMW的銷售量將會大幅度的領先Lexus。」
推出Lexus品牌的計畫最早誕生於1983年,那時候Toyota就想推出一款旗艦車型以和世界上的其他豪華汽車相競爭,毫無疑問的在經過6年的辛苦努力後,在1989年Toyota做到了。他們在1989年1月在底特律國際車展上首次發表LS 400,同年的9月Lexus LS 400正式在美國的73個經銷據點上式銷售。如今Lexus已經位於全球知名的豪華汽車品牌之一,未來的20年Lexus將繼續努力,創造更多的輝煌。Lexus生日快樂!
Renault Megane,以跨世紀的驛馬車尾設計,引領新世紀時尚潮流,榮獲Euro Car Of The Year歐洲年度風雲車、德國 Red Dot Best of the best最高榮譽及日本 Good Design Award 設計大賞,Megane更領先群雄,創下同級車第一部獲頒 E-NCAP五星頂級安全評價,成就全球首部同時榮獲歐洲年度風雲車及E-NCAP 雙桂冠榮耀。
In the run up to the official debut of the LF-Ch concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show and only a couple of weeks after the release of a teaser drawing, Lexus issued a single photograph of the premium hatchback that is believed to spawn a production model as early as 2010. The five-door hatch targets the C-segment premium market with rivals such as the Audi A3 and BMW 1-Series.
"The LF-Ch combines stylish design and full hybrid technology in a practical 5-door compact package to fulfill the needs of the most demanding premium compact segment customers," said Lexus in a statement.
The concept model uses the Japanese firm's Lexus Hybrid Drive and according to the automaker, it benefits from an electric-only driving capability. But that's about all that Lexus will reveal until for now. More detailed information and a full set of photos are expected to go online on September 10 2009.
We brought you the first images of the refreshed 2010 Volvo C70, which was snapped by a Volvo forum member during a commercial shoot in Spain, back in June, but today the first official photos of the facelifted model made their way onto the internet. The most prominent change on the folding-hardtop four seater concerns the new front-end design with more organic details and softer shapes that is very similar to the S60 Concept that was reveled in Detroit this past January.
That means a prominent new front bumper arrangement with swoopy styled headlights and a wider and more pronounced grille. At the back, the facelifted C70 gains a new tail light design with LED strips, a restyled bumper and a larger 'Volvo' name on the boot lip.
From what we can tell by looking at the single press shot of the C70's interior, there don't seem to be any changes made to the convertible's cabin.
Since there's no press release, we don't know if Volvo made any changes to C70's chassis and engine range, but we suspect that it won't be long before the Swedes come out with an official announcement.
The new-look Volvo C70 will make its world debut in a couple of weeks time at the Frankfurt Motor Show and should go on sale towards the end of the year or early 2010, depending on the market.
Europe's Mercedes-Benz S 320 CDI BlueEfficiency began this year as the most frugal S-Class available. With 235 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque, 31 mpg, and S-Class luxury, it's a fine runner if you want to have it all without grenading your treehugging credentials. But hang on – new reports are now popping up suggesting that Mercedes will soon up the frugal luxury stakes with a new S 250 CDI BlueEfficiency – the first S-Class with a four-cylinder engine.
According to the rumors, it will use the 2.2-liter, twin-turbocharged diesel four-pot fitted to the E- and C-Class, putting out 224 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque. The obvious sacrifice in sheer grunt and top end ought to be made up for by the mileage, which is predicted to be 35 mpg. To keep the four- and six-cylinder engines from being too close to one another, the six is said to grow in output to 285 hp and 516 lb-ft, and that should spell the end of the eight-cylinder S 450 CDI engine.
想知道你的車有沒有在E-NCAP得到五顆星嗎?可以到E-NCAP的官方網站的左側「How safe is your car」查詢(一筆殺的2000年Fiat Punto是四顆星。在沒有側邊SRS氣囊還能拿下四顆星,代表這部車的車身結構還算夠強)。如果查出來你的車款在歐洲有得到五顆星,但你的車上卻沒有側邊安全氣囊,而吊詭的是車商在賣給你車時,又特別強調你的車有E-NCAP五顆星的標準,那就代表車商偷雞了。
Currently available as a four-door sedan and a two-door coupe (the five-door Crosstour will enhance the rang this fall), the Accord is offered with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a 3.5-liter V6. Prices start from $21,055 for the sedan and from $22,555 for the Coupe. For detailed pricing on all 2010MY Accord models, click the picture on the right.
Underhood, we expect the RAV4’s powertrain offerings to remain unchanged. That means a 2.5L four-cylinder and a 3.5L V6 will likely be employed, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see some tweaking to get the four-pot model up to 30 mpg.
美國J.D. Power and Associates公佈了最新調查報告—APEAL車輛性能、操作與車體設計等綜合性的評比,除了以品牌作為調查評分依據外,也根據乘用車與多功能車款以車輛級具予以區別,評選各自的排行名單;而結果顯示,車廠品牌排名中,PORSCHE連續五年蟬聯冠軍寶座,JAGUAR與CADILLAC則分居亞軍與季軍。
全名為J.D. Power and Associates 2009 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout(APEAL)的調查中,主要乃是針對今年2月至5月期間購買新車後三個月的車主們,針對其新車的性能、操作使用性與車體設計等三大面向加以評論,此次共有80,900位車主參與調查。
J.D. Power調查單位中的David Sargent副總表示:「要如何打造出性能更強、品質更好、又要兼具燃料經濟性的車款,對於車廠而言以示越來越艱鉅的挑戰。」過去可在J.D. Power APEAL調查中名列前矛的車款,對於市場中的銷售表現總有著明顯的助益,且還可減少銷售時現金折價的空間,讓車廠可獲得每輛新車銷售時更高的毛利等。
After its conceptual debut at the New York Auto Show in April, the 2010 Acura ZDX officially joins the coupe-like crossover fray this winter. Acura has dropped a brief release and a trio of photos of the production variant, and like recent Honda and Acura concepts, the ZDX was nearly production ready when it debuted in NY. The only notable changes over the concept are the headlights, tail lamps and a few details in the lower front fascia.
Under the hood, the ZDX gets the same 300-hp 3.7-liter V6 as in the RL and TL, paired up with Acura's first six-speed automatic transmission, along with torque vectoring Super Handling-All Wheel Drive as standard equipment. While the ZDX seems similar to the BMW X6, the production versions looks significantly more compact, making Acura's new swoppy crossover more of a competitor to BMW's new 5 Series GT. The ZDX should slot in nicely between the RDX and the larger MDX and appeal to those who like the dynamics of the TL in a slightly taller package. So far there has been no word from Acura on pricing, so expect all the details to be released when the ZDX goes on sale later this year.
繁體中文化介面突破 New E-Class在操控與乘坐舒適性的實踐上,主要是設有自動阻尼調節減震筒,這部份V6車型並配有可變轉向齒比增加靈活性,其內裝則結合了C與S-Class的概念,例如整合式影音介面即是一例。值得注意的是,國內導入車款此次已針對旅程電腦與中控螢幕進行繁體中文化設定,同時標配含藍芽的5.8吋Audio 20系統,E350更升級為7吋Comand式樣,加上Thermotronic三區恆溫增加擴散、集中功能,故此車款也算是本地E-Class的旗艦版本(E500採接單引進)。
加上今年的潤5月關係,鬼月正式登場是在8月中的時候,因此車商也積極把握7月這個難得的黃金時段,持續加碼推出各種優惠措施,甚至積極推出新車!因此不管是進口車商、國產車廠們也進行搶市的動作,如新推出的Hyundai i30 CW、Audi Q5、Mercedes- Benz New E-Class、Volvo S40 2.0、VW New Golf等,都是7月的重點車款。
做為世界第一輛僅生產Hybrid式樣的豪華高級房車,HS250h的配備可不簡單,甚至可說是目前Lexus最先進。在車頭前方搭載的「Wide-View Front Monitor」可提供190度超廣角視野(和BMW類似),相當適合台灣多巷道的駕車環境,當車輛要從視野死角多的十字路口駛出時,只要將車頭伸出巷口,就能透過鏡頭看清左右來車。裝置在車內後視鏡背面與車頂的是車距與航道偏離偵測模組;當駕駛人長途開車而精神不濟時,這兩項配備將會受用無窮。
According to a report from Auto Motor und Sport, Toyota is considering a partnership with Daimler to build Mercedes-Benz' A- and B-Class sub-compacts on the Japanese automaker's MC platform. The idea is to maximize the efficiency and output of Toyota's European plants, and could also include sharing development costs on each brand's next generation flagships: the Lexus LS and Mercedes S-Class. Daimler has dismissed the report as "speculation," while a Toyota Motor Europe spokesman toed the company line, only saying "It's part of our normal business practice that we regularly talk to other carmakers but there are no specific projects planned at the moment."
混合動力車開起來環保又安靜,吸引了世界上不少類型族群的客人的共同喜愛,甚至對於往生者來說都是個不錯的「送行」選擇。一家位於日本沖繩,專門製造銷售加長禮賓特殊車輛的汽車改裝公司Advanced Car Enginnering,最近在其旗下的品牌LEQUIOS中,推出了一款以第三代Prius為基礎的靈柩車「HYBRID」。
5008車型車身尺寸為4530mm、車高1640mm,大小約與Nissan Grand Livina相當。與SW車系相同,它也配置了面積達1.7平方公尺的超大前擋風玻璃以及面積達1.69平方公尺的「玻璃車頂」,再加上車窗玻璃全車透明玻璃面積達到5.77平方公尺,大幅降低車艙壓迫感。為了因應長途旅行所需,第二排座椅配置了「多媒體影音系統」,包括7吋液晶螢幕、藍牙耳機均在標配清單之列。為了讓駕駛人停車更方便,除倒車雷達外,能夠測量停車格空間是否足夠的輔助系統亦為標配,兩具安裝在側保桿的感測器能自動測量停車格長度並將結果顯示在儀錶之上,清楚告知駕駛能否停車?
All New Nissan Teana上市一個多月了,短短的時間裡就接獲了超過600部的訂單,不僅讓All New Teana在強敵環伺下繳出了第一張亮眼的成績單,還連帶的讓裕日車一口氣飆了好幾根漲停板,可想而知,這的確實合乎裕隆日產對All New Teana的期待;然而,不知道大家有沒有想過為什麼All New Nissan Teana到底是憑什麼能在如此不景氣的市場之中來扳回一成?而這些選擇All New Teana的消費者到底在想什麼? 是否意味著消費型態的改變,才讓Teana成為當紅炸子雞的原因。
All New Teana著眼於細部的設計乃至用料,營造出比美雙B的品質,如用於隔音裁3M純棉,雙層式的隔音孔塞,甚至於引擎汽門頂筒的鑽石鍍膜。這些東西平常看不見摸不著,真要拿出來說,一時半刻之間也看不出太大的差異,但只要經過時間的試煉,以進口車的品質與國產車的維修費用,同級車中也只有Nissan Teana無人能出其右。
而這次All New Teana誠意十足的端出了第三代XRONIC CVT,不但讓車輛行駛時保有舒適性,平順的動能輸出也就成了重要的關鍵,這樣平順的動力輸出也意味著更經濟的燃油耗費,因為沒有換檔就表示沒有動力損耗,也難怪All New Teana可以在同級車中成為最省油的車款,並獲得經濟部節能標章的肯定。
始終將「安全」視為最高造車工藝原則的Volvo汽車,集結80多年的心血結晶、融合蒐集高達近3.6萬筆撞擊事件的報告,以分析實際的車輛事故案例中,汲取累積如何改善駕駛的狀況,和避免碰撞發生的可能性之相關知識,進而研發出多項首創全球車壇的主、被動安全科技。其中包含三點式安全帶、第一款面朝後方的兒童安全座椅、後座整合兩段收覆式兒童安全座墊,以及自去年正式量產、且標配於The New Volvo XC60的City Safety都會安全防護系統...等無以數計的先進安全設計,皆提供車主最實質的貼心安全防護。
正因Volvo專研於汽車安全的用心,而奪得全球最高安全大獎榮耀肯定,獲得由美國NHTSA國家高速公路交通安全局(National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)評選為「美國政府特別表彰安全獎」(US Government Special Award of Appreciation)的車廠,並於日前所舉辦的「第21屆國際車輛安全強化技術會議」中,將「美國政府特別表彰安全獎」頒發給Volvo安全研發部門代表Jan Ivarsson。
一樣是日系車廠卻面臨不小的落差,Toyota雖然在今年第一季面臨了建廠71年來得最大虧損,但Toyota位於日本的Prius生產線即使產能全開,卻仍舊得讓許多準車主等候多月排隊交車,而掛載於Toyota Prius之上的電池模組製造商Panasonic EV Energy,其生產線也在加緊為Toyota這個大客戶趕工,然而Toyota方面也表示,現階段滿手訂單的狀況尚無法補足過去的鉅額虧損,不過至少這是個好的開始。
儘管面對今年同級距競爭車型相繼改款上市,全新BMW大五系列依舊以無可替代的駕乘樂趣,獲得世界專業媒體和車評的讚賞肯定,如近期〝auto motor und sport〞、〝Auto Bild〞及〝What Car?〞等全球知名專業汽車雜誌中,BMW大五系列在同級距集評報導中脫穎而出,證明大五系列位居中大型豪華房車先鋒地位的實力。此外,大五系列也同樣深受許多國際專業獎項肯定,如:2008年由J.D.Power組織所頒發的「最具吸引力的豪華中型房車」獎項、2009年Fleet News Award與BusinessCar頒發「最佳主管用車」獎項予全新大五系列,來自各界佳評如潮的青睞,印證BMW大五系列的魅力無人能比。
即將在國內上市的第三代Toyota Prius Hybrid,其實早在日本當地已經賣到翻掉,在當地5月份的市場銷售表現中輕鬆拿下第一寶座,而另外一款油電混合勁敵Honda Insight,則是掉落到第3名。單從前三名的排行中,油電混合車款便佔了兩個席次,顯見日本消費者在購車的選擇上,也起了極大的轉變。除了低廉的入手價格之外,更具節能、經濟與環保概念的油電混合車款,已逐漸成為消費者的首選。
Best Buy:Nissan Rogue 我們選擇Rogue的原因主要在於它的運動化設計較為討喜,雖然說懸吊系統較為硬朗,但在舒適性方面的影響並不大;在配備方面也顯示出十足的誠意,高檔音響、換檔撥片、講究視覺效果同時兼顧舒適性的座椅;雖然Rogue的引擎在稅賦方面較為吃虧,但與CVT變速箱組合後反而安靜省油;當然RAV4也有著獨到的賣點例如雙區恆溫空調、觸控式衛星導航等裝置;相對於全新出擊的Rogue,RAV4卻是已經接近改款的舊世代車款,也難怪Rogue具備壓倒性優勢。
編輯評語Box Nissan Rogue 討喜之處:運動化的內外陳設、優異的音響系統、配備豐富。 遺珠之憾:2.5升引擎車主得付出較高額的稅賦。 Toyota RAV4 討喜之處:雙區恆溫空調、觸控式衛星導航、標配18吋輪圈。 遺珠之憾:四速自排變速箱、平淡保守的內裝。
由於國內的身心障礙者都享有免牌照稅的優惠,因此不少有錢人,為了討漏稅紛紛將動輒5百萬以上的名貴車款,紛紛掛在身心障礙者的名下,藉此逃漏稅。因為排氣量愈大、稅額就愈高,其中更有達20多輛排氣量在6000c.c.以上的車款,一年下來就可以節省達11萬多的牌照稅;也曾發現一輛Mercedes- Benz S600的免稅車主,但車主竟然是社會局列管的低收入戶,這樣的行徑真是令人髮指。
Buyers abroad have the choice of eight different engines, including four CDTI common-rail diesels with displacements ranging from 1.3- to 2.0-liters and outputs between 95 and 160 hp. Another four gasoline-powered mills, with displacements between 1.4- and 1.6-liters, doll out between 100 and 180 hp along with a new turbocharged 1.4-liter that replaces the outgoing naturally aspirated 1.8-liter and puts out 140 hp and 14% more torque, while lowering fuel consumption.
相信有許多讀者對於Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X的鯊魚頭造型有著相當高的興趣,尤其對許多已經擁有Lancer Fortis的車主而言,若能夠將愛車的車頭改裝成鯊魚頭Look式樣,那麼也算一圓EVO的夢。而儘管國內代理Mitsubishi的車廠迄今始終讓人枯等,不過這樣的情況再沒多久將有所改變,並非代理Mitsubishi的車廠想通了,而是台灣的改裝車廠已經成功開發鯊魚頭的改裝套件!
首先,之所以要開發鯊魚頭套件,主要是過去有不少改裝廠所開發的改裝部件與Lacner EVO X在相似度上仍有甚大的落差,此改裝廠也因此跨入鯊魚頭Fortis零件開發。在開發的過程中,除了自日本引進一組當地的Lancer鯊魚頭改裝套件做為參考,該改裝廠更委請專業人士透過3D重新繪圖,並且避開原廠專利的設計,再將在整個過程拍照存證,並委由律師事務所代為進行相關專利設計的申請,以保護自己的設計。
全面放大的車身尺寸,使全新 BMW 730d擁有傲視同級距車款的寬敞車室空間,標準配備豪華無比的Fineline高光澤木飾板、Dakota真皮內裝,賦予全新BMW 730d絕對尊榮的駕乘體驗享受;而同樣列為標準配備的雙前座舒適型電動座椅含記憶裝置、雙前座主動式通風含加熱功能座椅以及四區分離式恆溫空調系統,皆可依駕駛或乘客同的需求設定,提供全新730d座艙最舒適的長途旅程享受。此外,更人性化、簡約設計的全新第二代BMW 繁體中文化iDrive系統,方便使用者操控掌握,搭配BMW原廠中文衛星導航系統,提供立體3D模擬地圖功能,以高解析度的10.2吋中央顯示螢幕呈現,使駕駛可以在栩栩如生的情境對照下,輕鬆掌握行車路況及資訊。
RCD 510觸控式音響主機附MP3及六片裝CD換片功能。Passat CC 3.6 V6更將知名丹麥音響大廠DYNAUDIO 音響喇叭系統列為標準配備,提供車主車室內清晰、無失真的高階的聆聽享受。
Passat CC 創新的車輛動態輔助科技: Lane Assist車道偏離警示系統提升駕駛安全 DCC 可調式懸吊控制系統兼具動感與舒適性 Park Assist自動停車輔助系統讓停車更方便 Volkswagen 首度搭載Self Sealing 穿刺防護輪胎
Passat CC 採用多款創新的車輛動態輔助科技。重點之一就是首次引用在Volkswagen車型上的「車道偏離警示系統」(Lane Assist)。當Passat CC意外偏離車道時,這套系統自動介入修正轉向,讓車輛保持在車道上,大幅提升駕駛安全性。「車道偏離警示系統」在車速達到 65 km/h 以上開始作動,系統透過位於前擋風玻璃後視鏡上方的攝影機偵測並比對車道標線,不論車道中央線段為連續線段或間隔線段系統都可運作,同時夜間也可有效作動。
Passat CC 引擎動力: 高達300匹最大馬力的V6 FSI 靜止到時速100公里僅需5.6 秒 可輸出170匹最大馬力的2.0TDI車款
Passat CC V6 FSI搭載跟 R36 相同的3.6升V6 FSI汽油直噴引擎,可輸出300匹最大馬力及35.69公斤米最大扭力,搭配6速自手排DSG雙離合器變速箱與4MOTION恆時四輪驅動系統,將源源不絕的強大動力分配至四輪上。Passat CC V6由靜止加速到時速100公里僅需5.6 秒。極速250公里﹝電子限速﹞。
可輸出200匹最大馬力的Passat CC 2.0 TSI採用渦輪增壓汽油直噴引擎,大幅提升動力性能也兼顧優異的油耗經濟性。除了汽油引擎之外,搭載全新共軌高壓柴油引擎的Passat CC 2.0TDI可輸出170匹最大馬力,展現經濟、潔淨、扭力強大的特性。配備六速DSG 雙離合器變速箱的Passat CC 2.0TDI就像短跑健將一樣極速達時速224公里, 0-100 km/h 僅須 8.6 秒即可達成。再加上相當出色的低油耗(原廠測試每公升16.39公里),讓Passat CC堪稱最經濟的跑車車款之一。
由非營利組織World Car Steering Committee所發起,在2009紐約車展所進行頒獎的〝2009 World Car of the Year〞(簡稱WCOTY)在日前完成了最終的評選工作,進入最終決賽的有三款車:FORD Fiesta、TOYOTA iQ與VW六代Golf,最後由VW六代Golf勝出,拿下今年〝2009 World Car of the Year〞殊榮;同時,WCOTY也頒發另外〝Green〞、〝Design〞與〝Performance〞三個級距的優勝車款,請看以下報導。

主動式頭部防護頭枕(Active Head Restraint),是一種針對車輛遭受後方撞擊時,頭部快速往後仰時最常發生的頭頸部傷害所設計的一種防護緩衝裝置。根據美國公路安全保險協會(Insurance Institute of Highway Safety:IIHS)1999年的統計,在車輛遭受到撞擊時約有26%的傷者有頸部扭傷的情形,因而花費的保險理賠幾乎佔所有身體傷害理賠金額的66%,每年支付的理賠金額高逹70億美元以上。
IIHS美國公路安全保險協會(Insurance Institute for Highway Safety)發表新的車頂強度安全測試標準,有助於幫助消費者挑選哪些車輛,在不幸發生翻滾時可以獲得較為可靠的安全防護,此項測試主要是針對SUV而設。在IIHS最新公布的車頂安全測試中,12款SUV(2008-2009年式車款)只有4款獲得最好的GOOD評價,其中以VW Tiguan、SUBARU Forester、HONDA Element與JEEP Patriot車頂安全表現最佳,KIA Sportage車頂安全表現欠佳。
為了鼓勵消費者勇於掏出錢來買車,同時幫忙消化積放於新車整備廠的庫存車,這家汽車經銷商就大膽推出購買休旅車款,只要多1塊美金,便可購得第二輛小型車款。雖然這看起來像是賠本生意,但汽車交到消費者手中,使用總是會有損耗,日後還是有機會賺到車輛回廠保養、維修的費用,遠比新車堆在整備中心佈滿灰塵好上許多吧。手頭上只要稍微寬裕的消費者,這種Buy 1 Get 1的小便宜誰不會貪呢?
根據和泰汽車蘇純興資深副總的分析,Lexus New RX350目前在台灣的對手共有18款,包括大家耳熟能詳的X5、ML、Q7、FX、EX以及XC90等等,預估今年LSUV的市場約為5,100台,而Lexus New RX350預計搶下40%的佔有率(也就是2,040台),但對外公布的「年販目標」卻只有1,800台,換句話說蘇副總語帶保留,Lexus New RX350的實力將不僅於此!
但就全台這些為數眾多的Audi車主而言,不就要保佑這段時間內愛車不要出狀況,否則是該乖乖大老遠開去(或者拖去)台中,還是為了享有保固權益,愛車就先丟著等到3月中旬之後再進行處理? Audi Taiwan雖然貴為德國原廠分公司,但在目前服務據點不多的情況下,也不願舊有Audi車主回前代理所提供的據點進行檢修,直接剝奪了Audi車主應享的的權益,此點對所有的Audi車主而言實在是有欠公平,目前就看前總代理怎麼與Audi Taiwan進行協商而定。
GM汽車26日公佈去年第4季業績報告,第4財季淨虧損從上年同期的15億美元,擴大至96億美元,季營收從上年同期的468億美元降至308億美元。GM汽車CEO Rick Wagoner預計困難的環境將持續至2009年底,為此他們將加快重組行動。
GM汽車聲稱,審計者可能會對GM汽車是否能繼續生存存疑。GM汽車26日公佈的去年第四季業績報告顯示GM又出現巨大虧損,消耗現金62億美元,同時GM汽車依然尋求獲得美國政府的資金支援。預計GM汽車CEO Rick Wagoner在與汽車業專責小組會面時,將會要求美國政府進一步進行財政援助。該專責小組是由美國總統Obama任命的,負責人包括財政部長Timothy Geither和白宮經濟委員會顧問Lawrence Summers。
