AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- BorgWarner introduces the world's first electronic limited slip differential designed for the front transaxle of a front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicle on the 2013 Volkswagen Golf GTI with Performance Pack. Known as front cross differential (FXD) technology, the system greatly enhances vehicle traction, handling and stability without sacrificing engine power. Under certain driving conditions, the FXD technology's enhanced vehicle performance approaches that of an all-wheel drive (AWD) system but costs less and offers better fuel economy. The technology uses the same electro-hydraulic actuation technology recently launched on BorgWarner's fifth generation AWD coupling, and offers automakers a compact and easy-to-install electronic limited slip differential solution with a wide range of calibration options. Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager, BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems. 1.88% is a technology leader in highly engineered components and systems for powertrain applications worldwide. Operating manufacturing and technical facilities in 56 locations in 19 countries, the company develops products to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance performance. Customers include VW/Audi, Ford, Toyota, Renault/Nissan, General Motors, Hyundai/Kia, Daimler, Chrysler, Fiat, BMW, Honda, John Deere, PSA, and MAN.
Brits love a Mercedes A-Class. Last year 43,000 of them found homes in the UK, continuing a pattern going back several years. Naturally some of those earlier buyers will be looking to replace their A-Class soon, and the new, significantly more upmarket A-Class would be an obvious place to start. You鈥檇 of course look at a VW Golf too, it being the eternal benchmark for classy hatches. And what else would you look at? How about a Volvo XC40? That might jar if your instincts are to compare hatch with hatch, saloon with saloon and crossover with crossover. But all the sales stats show that more and more buyers are leaping into the welcoming embrace of the crossover, and that many of them are leaving hatch land in order to do so. And how are they buying their crossover? The majority of new car deals are on finance, and the majority of finance deals are PCPs - typically a three-year lease.
It鈥檚 a way of running a car that encourages lateral thinking and modest risk taking, with most costs known up front. So the new A-Class arrives at a time when being a nicely turned out hatchback from an admired brand is no guarantee of sales success. Mercedes has risen to the challenge by making the new car smarter looking, better to drive, more efficient and as swanky inside as many bigger Mercs. The engine line-up has one diesel (A180d) and two petrols (A200 and A250) and all come with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, until a six-speed manual arrives by the end of 2018 for the A200. Three trims are available, SE, Sport and AMG Line, but the only way to get a basic SE is to pick the A180d; petrols are Sport or AMG Line. Our test A-Class in Cosmos Black is an A200 AMG Line, so it鈥檚 the sportiest trim paired with the smallest petrol engine.
