2019 BMW X5 Offers More Horsepower And A Little Less Torque

It may resemble last year’s model at first glance, but it’s not. The all-new 2019 BMW X5, which the marque likes to call a Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) instead of an SUV, gets two new engine options, a bigger grille, and new technology. Under the hood, the BMW X5 xDrive50i packs a twin turbo 4.4-liter V-8 with 456 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque versus 445 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque from last year’s V-8 mill. BMW claims a 0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds and an optional top speed of 155 mph. The X5 xDrive40i offers a twin turbo 3.0-liter I-6 that delivers 335 hp 330 lb-ft of torque. It replaces the previous model’s 2.0-liter I-4 that offers 308 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. BMW claims it can zip from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and has a top speed limited to 130 mph. Both engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive and an electronically controlled locking rear differential.

The X5 gets a standard Dynamic Damper Control system and two performance settings—Comfort or Sport. Up front, the 2019 X5 gets a bigger kidney grille flanked by adaptive LED headlights. Hexagonal BMW Laserlights are optional along with xLine and M Sport model variants. Standard xLine models get matte aluminum grille bars, underbody protection, roof rails, and satin aluminum side window trim. M Sport models receive wheel arch and bumper trim, rear underbody protection and side skirts painted in body color, roof rails, and high-gloss black side window trim. Around back receives a refreshed rear with narrower LED taillights, a two-section tailgate, and dual chrome exhaust tips. The X5 rolls on standard 19-inch light-alloy wheels; M Sport gets 20-inch ones in a twin-spoke design. If those aren’t big enough, there are optional wheels in 21-and 22-inch sizes. Inside, the center console sports an updated iDrive Controller/transmission selector lever, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, and standard electrically adjustable and heated sports seats. Other new features include a four-zone air conditioning system and a panoramic glass roof that’s 30 percent larger than last year’s SUV. The X5’s ground clearance can be raised or lowered by 1.6-inch at the touch of a button. Also, when Sport mode is engaged or the truck’s speed is over 86 mph, ride height is automatically lowered by 0.8-inch, according to BMW.

The new Audi Q5, like the Q7 and the A4, has a self-learning “personal route assist” function. After activating this function, the navigation system learns the routes and destinations that the customer regularly selects, and it associates this information to the parked position and time of day. For as long as it is active, the system therefore learns from the customer’s behavior and uses this information to suggest optimized route planning for the next trip - even while navigation is inactive. The navigation system incorporates the three most likely destinations into the calculation, taking into consideration both the arrival time and current traffic levels. For instance, the system can suggest that the customer activate navigation to find out about potential alternative routes. The driver decides whether or not to activate the function. He also has the option of deleting saved destinations. If the function is deactivated, the system does not store the destinations and does not consider deleted destinations or the routes driven. MMI navigation plus utilizes the Audi connect module to integrate a LTE module and a Wi-Fi hotspot - this lets passengers go online with up to eight mobile devices.

Audi connect enables convenient roaming in Europe for many Audi connect services with its permanently installed SIM card - the Audi connect SIM with a flat data rate. If they wish, users can also book data packages for the Wi-Fi hotspot at attractive prices, which also include EU roaming. The free Audi MMI connect app produces a close interconnection between the car and smartphone or a smartwatch and offers other services. They include remote checking of important vehicle states, online media streaming and transmission of a calendar from a smartphone to the MMI. The Audi phone box connects smartphones to the vehicle’s antenna for optimal reception quality; it also charges smartphones inductively according to the Qi standard. The Bang & Olufsen Sound System with innovative 3D sound introduces the spatial dimension of height. The Audi tablet, which is also new, serves as a flexible Rear Seat Entertainment device. The Audi smartphone interface also brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into the new Q5.

Audi A4 Body Kits – The Premium Option

There was a time when having a car in itself was a huge status symbol. There was no need to have a premium car, all cars were premium cars. However if you will study the car market today you will find it is a complex one. It ranges from economy cars that offer great value to luxury cars that don't cost much more, to premium cars that offer great luxury and performance and do cost quite a bit more. Now even today's economy cars perform better than the premium cars of earlier days if you go back far enough. What then can a car manufacturer do to deliver the extra value to justify calling a car a premium one? Well the car for one will be more refined. Its various aspect like performance and comfort will be smooth at the edges and will go beyond satisfying the buyer and will be able to delight the buyer. The Audi A4 is a car that is a premium car that is admired by many but owned only by a relatively small number. And with the help of Audi A4 body kits you can make the car even more exclusive. The Audi A4 body kits are designed by expert designers who have years of experience in enhancing the looks and styling of a car. And they are able to do that for premium cars as well. You can imagine that if they start out with a car that is already right up there how much higher they will be able to go. With well chosen Audi A4 body kits your car is sure to be a head turner. Body kits can be chosen conveniently by going online. You can get all the information you need quickly. You can also check out how others have done up their car before you decide for your own car.

It's available with a six-speed DSG transmission but our tester was equipped with the standard six-speed manual. DSG might have been fun for its near-instantaneous shifts, and the manual lever has a slightly clunky action. But even so, manual shifts are never a chore because the clutch and throttle pedals are so precise. Another option our tester went without is a three-program adaptive chassis. We never felt deprived by its absence, for the standard damping setup is extremely well-sorted. It was easily able to hold the car in check during a bout of medium-duty circuit work, yet allowed the tires to maintain good contact on stretches of cresting, bumpy roadway. The steering feel is also well-damped in that German way, but you soon realize the R is mighty agile, with more of a spring in its step than the old R32. You very, very seldom feel hampered by understeer, and if you do, then a very slight throttle-lift followed by a firm re-application of the power will settle things to get the rear tires working to balance the two ends nicely.

So it's a very easy car to drive quickly. Strangely, for playing slithering games on a track, the Scirocco R is more obliging. While it has fundamentally the same drivetrain and chassis as the Golf R, it's front-drive only. It also loses 5 horsepower, but what's that marginal difference between friends, especially when its 250 pounds lighter? The body is Volkswagen's not-for-the-U.S. Scirocco coupe, but despite the lower roofline it shares its wheelbase with the Golf and for our purposes it fits within the definition of a hot hatch: roomy rear seats and a tailgate. Volkswagen dialed into the Scirocco R chassis an unusually tail-happy attitude. Turn in to an off-camber corner with a flick of the wheel and the car rotates so sharply there's time to wheel on a dose of corrective lock before the ESP kicks in. The electronic simulated LSD (VW calls it XDS) is effective at canceling understeer on the way out of bends, too. If you're prepared for all this, the Scirocco R is a fun car, but on the road the chassis often feels less polished and more ragged than the Golf R's.

Despite -- or perhaps because of -- its electronic dampers, it is less able to cope with high-frequency undulations, which induce a brittle wheel-hopping motion. So the Golf R emerges as the highest expression of the philosophy Volkswagen first demonstrated in 1976 with the Mk1 GTI, and first imported to the U.S. 1983 (when the Motor Trend test just got under 10 seconds for 0-60 mph). The Golf R is a magnificently useable everyday compact, with superb perceived quality and refinement. But it's also got the heart of a sports car: agile, light on its feet, and faithful to the driver. Now if the Golf R is VW's top expression of the hot hatchback breed, the Polo GTI is its smallest. And yet here's the thing: the Polo GTI also has almost identical performance figures to Volkswagen's first "super-GTI" -- the 1995 172 horsepower Golf GTI VR6 front-driver. The two are within an inch or two in every direction, and within 50 pounds.

Auto Mobil International 2019 In Leipzig

Text from Volkswagen AG. From 1 - 9 April, the Volkswagen stand in hall 1 will focus on new models like the Golf GT with TSI engine, the Concept A study and the Polo BlueMotion. BlueMotion is not just about low fuel consumption and reduced car emissions, it also stands for the whole company. “Blue”, the Volkswagen colour, represents the elements of water and air that have to be protected. “Motion” sums up the aspect of mobility heading forwards into the future. The first production model bearing the new environmental trademark that Volkswagen will present in Leipzig is the Polo BlueMotion equipped with a particulate filter as standard. The 59kW/80hp subcompact consumes just 3.9 litres of diesel every hundred kilometres, but is no less agile than a “conventional” Polo with the same output. Saving: 0.5 litres. Reduction in CO2 emissions: about 16g/km. The consumption and emissions reductions have been achieved with a longer gear ratio, aerodynamic fine tuning and modifications to the engine.

The Volkswagen comes with a manual five-speed gearbox. The Polo BlueMotion, which is built in Pamplona, Spain, will be introduced in Switzerland, Sweden, Austria and Germany this summer. The Golf GT is the first car to feature a TSI. This dual-charged petrol engine delivers 125kW/170hp, 240 Newton metres of torque and allows a top speed of 220km/h. These values are coupled with an average consumption of just 7.2 litres. The GT is therefore leading the way in the Volkswagen engine campaign to ensure maximum power with minimum fuel consumption. A six-speed manual gearbox is used as standard in the GT. However, the unique DSG dual-clutch gearbox is also available as an option for this Volkswagen. The Golf GT TSI can now be ordered from Volkswagen partners for €22,500. Visitors to Auto Mobil International will see another BlueMotion premiere under the bonnet of the Concept A study: It is powered by the first TSI to run on natural gas (CNG). This 1.4-litre engine (Twincharger), which is dual-charged by a compressor and a turbocharger, delivers 110kW/150hp and consumes just 5.0kg of natural gas every hundred kilometres on average.

High-powered engines like the TSI from Volkswagen are generally highly efficient. Using CNG (compressed natural gas, 130 RON) improves this again considerably. One of the positive consequences: The CO2 balance of the TSI engine running on natural gas is a further 20 to 25 percent cheaper than that of a TSI running on petrol. CNG is becoming one of the important bridge technologies on the way to mobility that is independent from crude oil. For example, Synfuel, a harmless biologically degradable, liquid energy carrier that makes the CCS hybrid combustion method possible, can be produced by converting natural gas to synthetic fuel (gas-to-liquid). The Concept A with a top speed above 200km/h sees the sports cars and off-road vehicles of tomorrow combined in an avant-garde way. Its front section also indicates how a future Volkswagen off-roader positioned below the Touareg could look. This study features rear suicide doors. The body overhangs are short and tidy, the bonnet is long and the C-pillars feature unique styling. 20-inch alloy wheels and 295 tyres fill out the striking widened wheel arches. The rear end communicates powerful elegance with its athletic shoulders. The tailgate is split in two. The section below the taillights folds down in the style of a pick-up and thus creates plenty of space for large objects.

The 18’’ wheel rims, a 12 spoke-design, ensure a dynamic effect. On the Ghibli and Ghibli Diesel versions they have the same 235/50 size for front and rear. On Ghibli S they get staggered size with 235/50 at the front and 275/45 at the rear. The 19” wheel, with its 245/45 front and 275/40 rear tyres, is geared towards reduced fuel consumption combined with low road noise and long, comfortable journeys. The 20” wheel, with a 245/40 front tyre and a 285/35 rear tyre, is the perfect compromise between sports and comfort, while the 21” wheel, with a 245/35 front and 285/30 rear tyre combination, is focused on sports handling. All four wheel sizes are available with Pirelli, Dunlop and Continental tyres. All wheels can be fitted with winter tyres. The Ghibli also continuously monitors its tyre pressure with a sensor mounted inside the rim, as part of the valve. The pressure can be read off the display on the dashboard. If a tyre punctures or its pressure changes, the system notifies the driver with visual and acoustic warnings.

The VW Golf Or The Audi A3?

The Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf both share the same platform, as they are both products of the VW Audi Group. Both VW and Audi have competing models in their line up, the A3 Vs the Golf the A4 Vs the Passat and the A8 Vs the Phaeton to name but a few. I love my German cars especially VWs, Audis and Seats I'm stilling growing to love Skoda, but it may take a few more years. I have a bit of a dilemma at the moment; I need a small hatchback that is good on fuel, low on insurance as well as low on tax. There were only two real candidates in my head, the Golf and the A3, my wife did mutter "focus" but ignored her, don't get me wrong the Focus is a very good car but I want German. To be honest I've 80% decided to go with the Audi A3, it's slightly rarer than the Golf and you don't see many being driven by boy racers. The Golf is a very good car; I would go for the Golf GT TDi as it would give me excellent economy of 47.1 mpg plus the great looks. The Audi A3 would have to be the 1.9 TDIe Sport which gives 62.8mpg, that is astonishing! It looks brilliant too. Price wise there is not much of a difference, I have seen an Audi A3 in Barrow in Furness so will be checking that out in the next day or so. My brother in law has the Golf GT TDI so I'll take that for a spin to use as a good comparison but, I'll more than probably go with the A3.

And that is not the best news yet---the 1-series that will debut at the US market will possess BMW's fabulous new twin-turbo, 3.0 liter inline-6. This is the same engine found in the new BMW 335i coupe and convertible that features the piezo direct injection and delivers significantly more thrust than its official 300hp rating suggests. The 1-series has also lighter weight; its powerful hatch should be able to beat the 335i's sprint to 62mph by 5.1 seconds. Its performance is comparable to that of the previous M3. Also coming to the US market is BMW's newest naturally aspirated 3.0 liter inline-6. The 1-series cars that would debut at the US market will be two-door versions only. This means that the US market will miss out on the five-door version. But BMW has made it clear that additional models will be added later on but they would like first to get a quick read on the viability of the car's acceptance in the US before they deploy other models.

The 135i and 130i will also be launch in two-door hatchback forms and soon probably a two-door convertible and sedan with a proper trunk will also be offered but of course this is something for BMW to decide on. Prices for the 1-series hasn't been finalized but expect the car to cost somewhere between the BMW 3-series and MINI. The BMW 1-series with codename E87 is a small luxury car/small family car manufactured by the German automaker BMW since 2004. The 1-series were created to compete with Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. The 1-series is also the only vehicle in its class that features rear-wheel-drive and longitudinally-mounted engine. BMW 1-series was first offered to the market in 2004 as a 5-door hatchback was offered as a replacement for BMW 3-series compact range. The 1-series is currently the smallest and most affordable vehicle depending on the engine model of course offered in the BMW range. Unlike the first generation of 1-series the all-new 1-series of BMW is built on its platform (E87) but its shares many components with the E90 3 Series. BMW's 1-series is built in Regensburg, Germany while some of its engines are from the Hams Hall plant in Birmingham England. In the year 2005 it became one of BMW's most successful products with 149, 493 units sold. BMW AG is an independent German Company and manufacturer of automobiles, quality auto parts like window regulators & motors and others, and motorcycles. It was founded by Karl Friedrich Rapp who was originally an aircraft engine manufacturer. BMW is the parent company of the MINI and Rolls-Royce car brands and formerly Rover.

If you're in the market for a new family hatchback below is a rundown on the top five as voted by a renowned online car buyer's guide. Top of the picks is the Volkswagen Golf hatchback which is described by the use of words like 'refined', 'comfortable' and 'fun'. As most Volkswagen cars it's reliable and well built and holds it value well, it comes with an array of safety kit as standard and both looks and feels good to drive. It's only let down by its rather conservative appearance. In at number two comes the Skoda Octavia which has more space than the VW Golf and offers great value for money. But the models on the lower end of the price scale also miss out on some equipment so expect to pay more for things like rear electrical windows and alloys. The green Toyota Prius gets the third spot with its spacious cabin and big boot. It's got excellent fuel economy and low emission which makes up for the rather disappointing interior. Forth in the top five is the Hyundai i30 which is the cheapest of the top five cars and also comes with a great warranty package. It's described as a solid car but a bit bland. Last of the top five cars is the Mazda 3 which is described as funky and fun with good resale value. So if you're in the market for a new family hatchback, you probably won't go wrong by checking out one of the above. If you're after a new Volkswagen, Mitcham has a dealership which should be able to help.

Test Drive Of Mazda Cx-5 Skyactiv-D 184 Awd (2019)

Since the debut in 2012, the Mazda CX-5 is floating on a wave of success. Because the SUV quickly rose to the bestseller in the program of the Japanese carmaker. The second generation of the compact SUV, which has been available since 2017, impressively continues this success story. Nevertheless, Mazda maintains its bestseller. The success of the CX-5 impressed. Worldwide reached the SUV now in the Mazda program, a sales share of about 25 percent. In 2017, Mazda launched nearly 19,000 copies of the CX-5 on our roads. The obesity of the SUV is also recognizable among our readers. Because the reviews of the CX-5 are obviously of interest to many readers. The driving report for the presentation of the second generation of the CX-5 has so far attracted around 14,000 visitors. An average stay of more than three minutes proves that visitors also read these articles. The improved smartphone integration can be retrofitted! So I was curious what the new Mazda CX-5 2018 offers.

Because on paper, the update looks moderate. All four engines offered - two gasoline and two diesel - now meet the "Euro 6d-temp" current emission standard. In addition, the top model CX-5 Sports-Line of the vintage 2018 now has a 360 ° camera. In addition, CX-5 customers can now order smartphone integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 300 extra cost the fun, which is not available in the entry-level Prime-Line. Obviously, Mazda also knows that the widespread systems of Apple and Google now far behind the connectivity solutions of manufacturers in the evaluation of customers. That's why Mazda even offers this update for existing customers. Even with older CX-5 second generation, the smartphone integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be retrofitted. The only requirement is that the CX-5 already has the infotainment system with the seven-inch screen. The engines are improved! The two-liter petrol four-cylinder won in the re-tuning five horsepower and now has 165 hp power. Even the torque of the smaller of the two offered petrol engine with now 213 Newton meters marginally.

The 2.5 liter petrol four-cylinder with cylinder deactivation, the performance data remained unchanged. The top model of the CX-5 family has 194 hp and is 258 Newton meters strong than the previous ones. In the diesel engines Mazda went the other way. The performance of the "smaller" auto-igniter remained unchanged with 150 hp and 380 Newton meters of torque. At the same time won the stronger diesel model equal to nine horsepower and now has an output of 184 hp and 445 Newton meters maximum torque. With an increase of 25 Newton meters this is a significant increase in the available engine power. What's new is that the CX-5's diesel engines now clean their exhaust using an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) emission control system. In conjunction with a urea injection, this ensures a significant reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions. In the past, Mazda was keen to comply with all emission regulations even without urea injection (AdBlue). But in the current emission standard "Euro 6d-temp" which probably no longer possible. It is also interesting that the stronger of the two twin-turbo diesels now already puts its peak performance on the crankshaft at 4,000 rpm.

Previously, CX-5 drivers had to turn 500 revs higher to get peak power. This improved response is also noticeable when driving, even if the converter automatic transmission (plus 1,800 USDs) available at extra cost robs the CX-5 of a part of driving pleasure. How does the Mazda CX-5 SKYACTIV-D 184 AWD operate? My CX-5 would definitely be a switch. This is also confirmed on the comparison trip in Bergisches Land. I just do not like how Mazda tunes the transducers of its automatic transmission. The compact SUV can be as sporty as comfort-driven with the six-speed manual transmission. The CX-5 benefits every single meter from its powerful diesel engine. The maximum torque of 445 Newton meters is already available at a very moderate 2,000 revolutions per minute. If you want, you can travel extremely shy with it. Because even in sixth gear, I let the CX-5 with this engine to distress even with just a little more than the idle speed to move. It is quite impressive that how the diesel then converts the command of the gas pedal into acceleration without delay.

Of course we are not talking about a sports car here, but the sovereign power of the four-cylinder, the two turbochargers breathe extra life, impressed anyway. When examining the test data, I'm a little surprised that the Mazda CX-5 SKYACTIV-D 184 AWD approved 9.3 seconds for the sprint from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour. Subjectively, this feels faster. Even on winding roads makes the CX-5 quite fun. Especially since even my more than two-meter-long body stowed well on the driver's seat. Both the distance to the steering wheel and the position of the pedals fit. That is always the basic requirement for sporty driving. The steering is very direct, the suspension suitably sporty tuned. At best, in very sporty cornering I would wish that the front seats offer a bit more lateral support. The facelift of the vintage 2018 is a very moderate update. This is also so easy because the basis of the second-generation Mazda CX-5 was beyond any doubt. Especially the now 184 hp four-cylinder diesel is a good engine.

2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport And Clubsport S At The Nurburgring, Germany

Seven minutes 49 seconds. Seven minutes 49 seconds. Is that not a staggering feat? For a civilised four-cylinder hatchback (albeit offered solely in three-door, two-seat format) with genuine everyday usability, it’s nothing less than mind bending. The fact that its pricing in Europe puts it in the same ballpark as the Golf R only adds to the seeming incongruity of the ‘S’. Now the bad news: while we’re destined to get 700 examples of the lesser ‘regular’ Clubsport in the Middle East, the full-house ‘S’ is a non-starter in our market. There are just 400 units of the latter set to roll out of the factory, with the majority of these earmarked for Germany and the UK. That said, this DriveArabia scribe did have the opportunity to get some wheel time in the car and that, too, at the Nordschleife, with Benny Leuchter -- the chap who set the 7:49.21 benchmark -- serving as a pace-maker. What about install an Android Car Gps? A bit of background about the Clubsport S: development first started in July, 2013, initially with just the VW-specification Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 semi-slick tyres mounted on a regular Golf GTI Performance Pack.

Three months later, a prototype with an uprated powerplant and the first suspension tweaks hit the ‘Ring. In May 2014, an evolution with more suspension revisions and the first aero package (comprising a large rear wing) was rolled out, but this version had so much downforce that straight-line speed was severely compromised. Further development resulted in a smaller rear wing, a new aluminium front sub-frame with bespoke knuckles delivering more negative camber and less toe-in under heavy braking. There’s also adaptive damping to endow the ‘S’ with the suspension compliance to remain unflustered by the bumps and undulations of the Nordschleife. The brake bells are made of aluminium and there are special pads to withstand the punishment of belting around the ‘Ring at race pace. The Clubsport S(with vw navigation) comes only with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Yes, the dual-clutch DSG ‘box can slip through the cogs quicker, but it would have added an extra 20 kg, so it was a no-go from the outset.

People have been fascinated with UFO sightings for decades. It is alleged that a UFO crashed in the nearby town of Corona, New Mexico in the summer of 1947. Controversies and conspiracy theories still swirl today as to the true events of that night. A lesser known UFO sighting, may have actually preceded the Roswell UFO sighting by six years. The UFO Crash near Cape Girardeau in spring of 1941 is also surrounded in controversy and mystery. In his book, Leo Stringfield details the accounts of the late Reverend William Huffman through the letters of the reverends' granddaughter, Charlotte Mann. Charlotte Mann had heard bits and pieces of the story of the UFO crash growing up, but it wasn't until her grandmother was dying of cancer, that she finally heard the full account of what happened. In her letter's to Leo Stringfield, Charlotte tells how her grandfather was asked to deliver the last rites to the pilot and passengers of a small aircraft that had crashed approximately 10-15 miles outside of town.

She details how when Reverend Huffman arrived he noticed multiple fire, police, and emergency personnel, along with FBI agents, combing through the debris. Instead of seeing airplane debris, Reverend Huffman was surprised to see a disc-like saucer embedded in the earth. Upon closer inspection, he could see foreign symbols and shapes scrolled on the interior of the object. After a cursory look in the saucer like object, he was taken to the bodies of the crash victims. Only, according to Huffman's account, these were not human bodies they were alien like creatures with short gray hairless bodies and almond shaped black eyes. Supposedly, after performing the last rites for these alien creatures, Reverend Huffman was sworn to secrecy by military personnel who were also on site at the crash. According to Charlotte Mann's account, there is a photograph that was taken the night of the crash that shows one of the alien-like creatures, but that picture was borrowed and never returned to her family.
