Here is good news for all the BMW enthusiasts - The verve has returned! This time, as a BMW X3 crossover. The car serves a dual purpose appealing to both luxury shoppers as well as the sportscar audience. The vehicle comes with a butter smooth, turbocharged four-cylinder and a premium interior.

In this article, we will discuss the BMW X3 Price Bengaluru. Before we get into its pricing, let’s take a look at what the car promises.

What does the 2019 Version Promise?

The car does not come with many changes because it only recently got modified entirely in 2018. The car now comes with automated emergency braking, parking sensors, forward-collision warning, and more. The brand has added new features to the Premium package like heated steering wheel, heated front seats, 19-inch wheels, navigation with real-traffic updates and more.

2. Engine & Transmission

The car comes with the 248-hp turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and ample power to smoothly negotiate any traffic situation. The 2019 edition feels more competent and powerful than other BMW sedans. The car is exciting to drive and smooth around the corners.

3. Fuel Economy

The X2 received only average ratings for the EPA, placing it in the midpack. When the models - xDrive30i and an M40i were tested on the road under real conditions, they both outperformed their estimated efficiency.

4. Interiors

The BMW X3 checks all the possible boxes on the list. The car offers 10-way power-adjustable front seats for a comfortable position, and reclining seatbacks for the rear-seat occupants. The dash and door come with stitched faux-leather coverings for an added touch of luxury.

5. Safety Features

Even though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration did not test the car, it performed reasonably well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s tests. Here are the key features -

Available adaptive cruise control

Standard automated emergency braking

Standard forward-collision warning systems

BMW X3 Price in Bengaluru

The BMW x3 price Bengaluru begins at Rs 61.20 Lakh. Considering the hefty pricing of the luxury car, not many can afford to own a first-hand model. This said, BMW also offers a wide range of pre-owned BMWs that undergo a strict process before being put up for sale.

Final Words

BMW Deutsche Motoren is a customer-centric BMW Dealership that offers a wide range of brand new BMW models and certified, pre-owned cars like the used BMW x3 Bengaluru.

TOP 10 RECHARGEABLE HYBRID VEHICLES IN CANADA IN 2020… WITH ONE MORE BONUS…

Auto123 presents its Top 11 Plug-in Hybrid SUVs now or soon to be available in Canada in 2020.

To say the least, the electrification of the automotive industry continues. The year 2020 is a major one for the purely electric sector, even though the pandemic has greatly slowed consumer enthusiasm, at least temporarily. Despite this historic brake, the Earth does not stop turning and the return to normal will eventually bring consumers back to the showrooms of car dealerships. There are signs that this is already happening.

While it is clear that commercial vehicles are still popular, their slightly higher fuel consumption than cars still makes some motorists hesitate.

That’s where plug-in hybrid SUVs come in. It has become an annual tradition for Auto123 to list utility models sold with the “PHEV” designation, and 2020 is no exception.

Unsurprisingly, the choice has expanded this year, especially in the luxury divisions. So now it’s time for the Plug-in Hybrid SUVs with all-wheel drive that will be available for sale in Canada in 2020. Last year, we included the Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivan and the Kia Niro PHEV, both of which are exclusively front-wheel drive.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

He is often the one who comes to mind when VUS PHEV is mentioned in a discussion. The three-diamond manufacturer’s representative has been in service with us since 2018 and continues to be considered by compact SUV buyers who are tired of swallowing thousands of dollars at gas stations. The Outlander PHEV still runs on gasoline, but its electric range makes city driving less expensive and, above all, quieter!

Volvo XC60 / XC90 T8

Over the years, Volvo has positioned itself as a serious player in the electrical niche. Moreover, the small XC40 Recharge should be with us before the end of the year, while the Polestar division affiliated with Volvo will also make its entrance.

But while we’re waiting for purely electric propulsion, the Swedish brand is still marketing its two SUVs in a T8 livery, the name that sticks to its rechargeable hybrid models. Very little has changed for 2020 in the case of these two protagonists, a comment that applies to their impressive power and quiet ride.

Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC

Nothing to report with the rechargeable hybrid model in the GLC range, except perhaps a few details specific to the redesign for the 2020 model year.

Aside from these cosmetic changes, the GLC 350e 4MATIC is true to last year’s model year, with its mechanics that twin a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an additional electric motor still delivering 315 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Better yet, fuel consumption is no more than 10 litres per 100 km, in the city or on the highway.

Subaru Crosstrek PHEV

Subaru’s popular crossover is now available in a plug-in hybrid configuration. Its predecessor had been marketed in a hybrid version, but it didn’t meet with the expected success with the public.

This time, it’s more interesting. The Crosstrek PHEV (available only on the Limited version), which still adds close to $10,000 to the gas model’s bill, offers at least a 27-km pure electric range. The problem is that this distance is not impressive. Luckily, overall fuel consumption is lower than the regular model.

Range Rover or Range Rover Sport

The two top SUVs in the Land Rover lineup have been getting the Plug-In Hybrid technology from the house since last summer. This is a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine mated to a second, electric engine. The range in electric mode is 51 km and the total power output is 398 horsepower. No worries about this powerplant!

Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring

The Lincoln Aviator has been on sale for a few months now. The Grand Touring option came later, however. In this case, the Dearborn giant opted for electrifying performance by relying on a 400-horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine and another electric one, which boosts total power to 494 horsepower. Optimum torque is even more impressive at 630 lb-ft. of torque.

Lincoln will soon welcome (for model year 2021) a Grand Touring livery of the Corsair, the smallest SUV sold by the American luxury division.

Audi Q5 TFSI e

It’s a rare bird, this one, but Audi does market a plug-in hybrid version of its popular Q5. Instead of the usual 248 horsepower, the familiar 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine delivers 362 horsepower. As for the 369 lb-ft of torque, it’s also typical of electric powertrains.

The German automaker talks about a range of 40 km in electric mode, which, despite everything, lowers the average fuel consumption.

BMW X3 PHEV

The Bavarian manufacturer has long been involved in research into electric propulsion, with the exotic i8 being the brand’s first rechargeable hybrid vehicle. But the sports car is not very practical, unlike the X3, which is now offered with a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

The Canadian website also announces a PHEV livery for the X5, but the brand’s guide to the country doesn’t include it among the available choices.

At the very least, the X3 Plug-In Hybrid is a direct rival to the Audi Q5 TFSI e. The BMW representative isn’t as fast as the four-ringed vehicle with 288 horsepower, but still, in this niche, power isn’t everything. The electric range of 29 km is not the longest in the industry either.

Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid ou Turbo S E-Hybrid

The Stuttgart manufacturer has been electrifying some of its vehicles for several years now. The Cayenne is an excellent candidate to accommodate a battery pack and electric mechanics in tandem with the V6 turbo (in the case of the E-Hybrid) or the V8 turbo (in the case of the Turbo S E-Hybrid).

E-Hybrid performance is astounding, with 0-100 km/h achieved in 5.1 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package. The “big model” accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. Any questions?

Mini Cooper Countryman S E ALL4

The year 2020 is the year of the first fully electric MINI Cooper, but we shouldn’t forget that for the past two years, MINI has also been offering its Countryman crossover with a plug-in hybrid, this time with the 3-cylinder turbo engine equipped with an electric motor. What’s more, driving pleasure is still part of the recipe, with average fuel consumption well below that of the other vehicles in the range.

Toyota RAV4 Prime 2021

We end this tour with one of the most anticipated plug-in hybrid SUVs of the year, the RAV4 Prime 2021. The latter is likely to give the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV a tough time. Not only does its power eclipse it with 302 horsepower and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.8 seconds, the RAV4 Prime 2021 is expected to be another success story for the Japanese division.

2020 Porsche Macan GTS review: Emphasis on performance

New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/2020-porsche-macan-gts-review-emphasis-on-performance-5/

2020 Porsche Macan GTS review: Emphasis on performance

The GTS looks great in Carmine Red.

Steven Ewing/Roadshow

At this point, GTS in Porsche parlance should just stand for Get This Spec. The company’s GTS-badged cars strike the best balance between outright performance and daily drivability, and that’s as true in this 2020 Macan as it is in any 718, 911, Cayenne or Panamera. I’ve driven the S and I’ve driven the Turbo, but the GTS is the Macan I’d park in my garage.

Outstanding chassis balance

Sports car-like steering

Sonorous sport exhaust

Robust infotainment tech

Don’t Like

Twin-turbo V6 lacks character

Gets expensive in a hurry

The GTS uses a detuned version of the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 from the Macan Turbo. Here, the engine produces 375 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque — noticeable reductions compared to the Turbo’s 434 hp and 405 lb-ft. But on the road, you’d have a hard time noticing the difference. This engine lacks visceral drama, though I think that’s less egregious when the associated output numbers are lower. The GTS at least makes up for this somewhat with a standard sport exhaust, which adds some sonority to the powertrain’s buttoned-up demeanor.

Porsche says the GTS can accelerate to 60 mph in as little as 4.5 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package, which is 0.4 seconds slower than the Macan Turbo. I genuinely don’t believe that less-than-half-a-second discrepancy is something anyone can feel during daily driving on public roads. And since the engine’s torque is fully available from just 1,750 rpm, there’s never a lack of urgency to the GTS’ acceleration, whether pulling away from a stoplight or just trying to shoot the gap between slower cars on the highway.

The seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is always up for an impromptu downshift via the steering wheel-mounted paddles, and the Sport and Sport Plus modes — the latter is part of the $1,360 Sport Chrono package — alter the throttle and transmission programming just enough to liven up the Macan’s character. You could drive the GTS in Sport mode all day, every day without it ever feeling high-strung, while Sport Plus is best left for tighter sections of winding roads where you’ll want to take advantage of its tendency to hold gears up near the engine’s redline.

The GTS’ powertrain is fine, but the chassis, steering and brakes really make this Macan feel special. Porsche’s adaptive air suspension comes standard and can lower the Macan by 10 millimeters in Sport and Sport Plus modes. Porsche’s Active Suspension Management (PASM) dampers are a perfect match to the air-ride system, delivering a smooth ride on broken pavement while keeping the GTS taut and composed on smooth stretches of canyon roads. Even with my tester’s upsized 21-inch wheels and staggered 265/40 front and 295/35 rear tires, the Macan never feels too stiff or too floaty for any given scenario. Honestly, the ride quality might be the GTS’ single best attribute.

These 21-inch wheels and low-profile ties don’t ruin the GTS’ ride.

Steven Ewing/Roadshow

Porsche always gets its cars’ steering right, and the Macan GTS is no exception. The weight and communication on offer are more akin to that of a 718 Cayman than any other compact SUV, with a right-sized steering wheel adorned with only a few redundant controls. My tester has Porsche’s Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB), which were kind of bad when they first launched on the Cayenne, but have since been reworked with new pads, better pedal feel and a more progressive stopping experience. Now, these brakes are quite good and reduce dust buildup on the wheels. Whether they’re worth the $3,490 upgrade over the perfectly fine standard steel brakes, though, is hard to say.

One option worth adding is Porsche’s brake-based torque-vectoring tech, for $1,500. This ability to modulate power from side to side at the rear axle improves the Macan’s cornering reflexes, making this already-sharp little crossover even more entertaining. You’ll never feel it working, but you’ll find it easier to keep up with smaller, more powerful sports cars on mountain roads.

Going for the GTS gets you the Sport Design exterior treatment, with black-painted exterior accents, LED headlights and a darker tint to the rear taillight bar. Inside, you get sport seats wrapped in leather, though you can have the whole cabin done up in Alcantara suede with Carmine Red stitching as part of the $4,790 GTS Interior Package. Like all Macans, the GTS is plenty comfortable for driver and passenger up front, but the rear seats are awfully small, even by compact SUV measurements.

The PCM infotainment tech is new but the rest of the interior is showing its age.

Steven Ewing/Roadshow

The Macan got a welcome tech upgrade as part of a refresh in 2018 and now runs Porsche’s Communication Management infotainment software on a 10.9-inch touchscreen. PCM continues to impress with its quick responses to inputs, online search tools, bright graphics and reconfigurable home screen. A Wi-Fi hotspot and Apple CarPlay are standard, but Android Auto is still a no-go. Too bad.

Look below the touchscreen, though, and you’ll find a sea of controls on the console — a reminder that the Macan is a bit older than Porsche’s other models. Sure, the rows of buttons are clearly labeled and easy to use, they just look outdated, especially compared to the flush, backlit designs of Porsche’s newer products.

I’d love to tell you about all of the Macan’s standard driver-assistance features, but as is the case with every Porsche, all the good stuff costs extra and is available a la carte. A surround-view camera is $1,200. You can buy lane-change assist and lane-keeping assist for $700 apiece, or just spend $1,380 and get them as part of a bundle. Adaptive cruise control comes in for an additional $1,170, and if you want freaking keyless entry, that’s an extra $800, too. Sheesh.

The Macan is hands-down the best-driving compact luxury SUV.

Steven Ewing/Roadshow

There are myriad options available for the Macan GTS, so its $73,450 starting price (including $1,350 for destination) is just that: the start. My Carmine Red tester is a German-spec model that Porsche flew over for testing, so I don’t have an exact price for the SUV you see here. Playing around to the best of my ability on Porsche’s configurator, I’m going to guesstimate an as-tested price of $94,000 out the door, give or take a few Benjamins.

If you compare price tags, the Macan GTS is sort of a hard sell against competitors like the BMW X3 M40i or Mercedes-AMG GLC43, both of which can be nicely equipped for less than the Porsche’s starting MSRP. But the Macan — especially the GTS — is the best-driving, best-balanced SUV of the bunch and handily punches above its weight. If performance is a priority, you definitely get what you pay for.

2021 Audi Q5 First Look: Audi Refines Its Compact Crossover

We like the Audi Q5 a lot, and so do consumers. Its the company’s best-selling vehicle in the United States, and that’s because it’s a genuine crowd-pleaser. Its upscale yet understated looks inside and out, useful tech features, and combination of comfort and performance strike a great balance in a segment with tough competition. After all, the Q5 faces off against the sporty BMW X3, the sleek Mercedes-Benz GLC, the athletic Acura RDX, and the luxurious Lexus NX. And don’t forget the stylish Volvo XC60, either.

The 2021 Q5 is not a ground-up redesign but a facelift of the model that Audi introduced for 2018. It’s a refinement of a formula we already know works well, with some tech upgrades and exterior additions. More on that in a bit.

2021 Audi Q5 Design

A lot of the changes in the new Q5 relate to its design inside and out, which makes it a great place to start exploring what’s new. At its front, the Q5 joins the rest of the Q line of Audi crossover SUVs with an octagonal single-frame grille (with chromed vertical ribs on Advance models, and a honeycomb pattern on the sportier S-Line). This grille is a bit shallower and wider, giving the Q5 a slightly more aggressive appearance. It also helps the crossover look lower and more hunkered down while providing a counterbalance to the revised daytime running lights at the upper part of the headlamp housing. The lower side “intakes” are a little taller, bisected by a trapezoidal insert that almost floats on top of the intake-like lower-trim elements.

Along the side, a different sill design under the doors makes the crossover appearance as though it packs a smidge more ground clearance. Step to the rear and you’ll see the 2021 Q5’s real party trick: An OLED light element that can flash and change its configuration in a number of novel ways. The multi-segment light elements have a variety of “signatures” that owners can reconfigure for a bit of flourish when locking or unlocking the car. There are three modes at the moment, all of which can only be selected when the car is purchased. (Audi tells us it’s looking for a way to let current and future owners reconfigure the signatures later.) Also, the light signature changes when the car enters its Dynamic driving mode. There’s also a proximity sensor, which turns on more light segments if another vehicle approaches within six feet or so of the Q5’s rear end. It’s a gentle, but a hopefully distinct, message to another driver they’re getting too close to the Audi.

Two new colors also join the action on 2021 Q5s: District Green and Ultra Blue. Each version also gets new wheel options, and the plug-in hybrid model gets a new and exclusive Sport Plus package with 20-inch wheels, summer tires, front sports seats, aluminum inlays, and more.

2021 Audi Q5 Specs

Being a refresh, the 2021 Q5’s dimensions have not changed much. The new Q5 is slightly longer—0.75 inches—due to larger bumper covers. Other specifications are unchanged, including its cargo capacity, which measures in at 53.7 cubic feet with the rear seatbacks folded.

The powertrains carry-over, too, although the entry-level turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gets a not-insignificant 13-hp bump. It now produces 261 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The turbo 2.0-liter also benefits from a “mild-hybrid” starter-generator that runs off the car’s standard 12-volt electrical system. Alas, Audi notes the setup adds nothing to the powertrain’s bottom-line horsepower figure.

The Q5 PHEV, meanwhile, carries on with its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain, which relies on a 48-volt electrical system to feed electricity to the electric motor by way of a 14.1-kWh battery pack. All in, the PHEV is good for a total output of 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of twist. And the SQ5 returns as well, with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 making 349 hp and 369 lb-ft. Note that the plug-in model actually offers more power, and the same amount of torque, as the sportier SQ5.

2021 Audi Q5 Tech and Interior

The changes inside should appeal to the sort of tech-savvy buyer that generally gravitates toward Audis. For one, the standard 10.0-inch touchscreen now runs Audi’s latest MIB 3 infotainment system that debuted on the new A4. It’s a slick, fast-responding system with crisper graphics and natural language command recognition. Other updates are relatively minor, such as new contrasting stitching, but remember that the Q5’s cabin is already a luxury technophile’s paradise. Case in point, the Audi Virtual Cockpit digital gauge cluster is now standard on the Premium Plus trim.

2021 Audi Q5 Price and Availability

The 2021 Audi Q5 will arrive at dealerships toward the end of the year (that includes the plug-in and SQ5 models, too). Prices start at $43,300, with the plug-in model going for $51,900 and the SQ5 stickering at $52,900.

Audi vs BMW: which is better?

In the pantheon of German extravagance brands, there are three predominant players: it's Audi versus BMW versus Mercedes-Benz. Despite the fact that the competition between the three has been seething on for right around 100 years, and the fight among BMW and Mercedes remains very savage, Audi versus BMW is the battle that has become opposing in the course of recent decades as the two brands forcefully seek after more youthful, well-off customers. The two brands keep on offering broad lineups of rich vehicles and SUVs, and both have created affirmed pre-possessed projects that keep on developing in prominence. In 2019, generally new and pre-claimed vehicle customers intrigued by extravagance, execution, and style as a rule end up cross shopping models from both Audi and BMW. Customers most every now and again make examinations between the omnipresent Audi A4 and the BMW 3 Series. Another basic correlation is the Audi Q5 versus the BMW X3. That is dexterous. It's imperative to contrast vehicles before you purchase and great information on what to search for. What's more, we're here to help you through that shopping procedure. Here we'll think about the two fruitful German extravagance brands and their most prominent models. We'll additionally respond to these significant inquiries: What is the contrast among Audi and BMW? Audi versus BMW: which is better? Which is increasingly dependable, Audi or BMW? Which is increasingly costly, Audi or BMW? Audi versus BMW: which has a superior notoriety? Which has lower support expenses, Audi or BMW? What is the contrast among Audi and BMW? Audi is quite of the Volkswagen Group, which likewise possesses Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini and Bugatti. BMW additionally claims Rolls-Royce and Mini. This permits Audi to share a considerable lot of the parts of its autos with its different brands. The Audi A3, for example, shares a portion of its foundation and powertrains with the VW Golf, while the Audi Q7 shares huge numbers of its parts with the Porsche Cayenne. In any case, it's BMW that offers a more extensive scope of motors and crossover powertrains. This assortment of advancements likewise incorporates a remarkable inline six-chamber motor, which is very smooth and stays mainstream in the 3 Series and X5. BMW likewise utilizes inline motors with four-chambers, V6 and V8 plans, and in the M760i it utilizes a twin-turbo 6.6-liter V12 with 600 hp. The entirety of BMW's motors are turbocharged, which utilizes the motor fumes gases to turn a turbine that powers outside air into the motor at well above barometrical weight, expanding power, yet with no penance of efficiency. Audi additionally utilizes turbocharging widely, however its supercharged V6 is as yet utilized in the Q7.

BMW M4 DTM Motor

BMW additionally offers purchasers a larger number of businesses around the country than Audi. BMW has 341 businesses in the United States, while Audi has only 220. This may make it somewhat simpler to discover a BMW seller close to your home, particularly in the event that you live in suburbia. It might likewise make it simpler to locate the careful BMW model you're searching for in vendor stock and it might make it simpler to fund the terms of arrangement. This is significant when you're purchasing the vehicle, but at the same time it's imperative to have a seller closer to your home when the vehicle needs administration. Making a trip to a far away business for administration is certainly not a decent utilization of your time. A year ago BMW surpassed Audi in the United States. This is nothing new, BMW has been beating Audi in America industriously since the 1980s. In 2018 it was Mercedes that sold the most extravagance vehicles in the United States. Yet, it was close. Mercedes sold 315,959 vehicles a year ago, which was uniquely around 4,000 autos and SUVs in front of BMW, which completed in runner up. Lexus completed the year out in third spot, while Audi was fourth with 223,323 vehicles sold. Acura and Cadillac completed the year fifth and 6th. For the vast majority of the year, the BMW X3 was the brand's top-selling BMW model, while over at Audi the Q5 was its hit.

Audi versus BMW: which is better?

Twenty years prior this would have been a very simple inquiry to reply. On the off chance that you needed an incredible driving encounter and the most presentation you purchased a BMW. On the off chance that you needed the extra all-climate footing of an all-wheel drive framework since you live in a blanketed atmosphere, well, at that point you purchased an Audi. In any case, it's not exactly that rudimentary any longer. Today Audis are extraordinary drives. They're amazing and responsive. They're amusing to drive, they handle well and they like to be driven hard. Simultaneously, BMW has made an enormous interest taking all things together wheel drive innovation, which is currently offered on the entirety of its cars and obviously its SUVs. Audi additionally once had a bit of leeway over BMW when it came to inside structure, but at the same time that is not true anymore. In any case, we need to give the edge to BMW. The brand keeps on utilizing back wheel drive engineering all through its line up, which gives better equalization, more prominent reaction and at last preferable taking care of over the subjugating front-wheel drive design utilized by Audi. Front wheel drive stages, which Audi utilizes in its cars, just as its prevalent Q5, normally push the motor further forward in the vehicles structure. This puts more weight over the vehicles front tires and the outcome is sub-par dealing with and torpid reaction. Kindly, don't misjudge. Audis aren't hesitant to perform, they simply don't offer the separating aficionado driver a similar profundity of building and deft elements tuning as BMWs.

Which is progressively dependable, Audi or BMW?

BMW additionally has the bit of leeway over Audi with regards to unwavering quality. Each BMW as of late got a better than expected anticipated dependability rating. Its most noteworthy appraised model was the well known 5 Series, yet the 2 Series, 4 Series, X1 and X4 additionally scored amazingly. Audi's scores are extensively lower and the brand completed with a general normal score. Of Audi's 12 models, just three have a better than expected anticipated dependability rating, the A5, A7 and A8, and four others were scored beneath normal.

Which is increasingly costly, Audi or BMW?

Audi and BMW contend no holds barred in numerous vehicle classes, however not all. BMW offers fundamentally a greater number of models than Audi, so it's not constantly a reasonable correlation with regards to cost, however for the most part, Audis are more moderate than their BMW rivals. To assist you with ascertaining which models are increasingly reasonable we've recorded each Audi and each BMW model alongside its base cost, excluding the unavoidable goal charge, which is as a rule about $1,000 on most models. Notice that BMW offers a more sweeping assortment of vehicles than Audi. Equivalent models normally offer comparable highlights and alternatives. Audi A3 $33,300 versus BMW 2 Series $37,300 Audi A4 $39,200 versus BMW 3 Series $40,250 Audi A5 Sportback $44,200 versus BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe $44,750 Audi A6 $58,900 versus BMW 5 Series $53,400 Audi A7 $68,000 versus BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo $70,300 Audi A8 $83,000 versus BMW 7 Series $86,450 Audi Q3 $34,700 versus BMW X1 $34,950 Audi Q5 $42,950 versus BMW X3 $41,000 Audi Q7 $53,550 versus BMW X5 $60,700 Audi Q8 $67,400 versus BMW X7 $73,900 Audi A5 Coupe $44,200 versus BMW 4 Series Coupe $44,950 Audi A5 Cabriolet $51,200 versus BMW 4 Series Convertible $53,100 Audi TT $44,900 versus BMW Z4 $49,700 Audi R8 $169,900 versus BMW i8 $163,300 These BMW models don't have an immediate contender from Audi. BMW X2 $36,400 BMW i3 $44,450 BMW 8 Series Coupe $111,900 BMW X4 $50,450 BMW X6 $63,550

Audi RS 7 Sportback execution on mountain street

It ought to likewise be noticed that both Audi and BMW each have numerous superior models that have been changed for extra power and taking care of. These models normally cost more than the more person on foot forms. BMW's elite M division is best known for the incredible M3 and M5 models, yet it has likewise made superior renditions of the BMW X3, X4, X6 and others. Audi offers a two-layered way to deal with its presentation contributions, with S and RS rendition of numerous models. The RS vehicles offer a considerable exhibition increment over the S adaptations. Customers keen on Audi superior should shop the RS3, RS5, and RS7.

Audi versus BMW: which has a superior notoriety?

With regards to execution, BMW's notoriety is better than Audi's. Truly, Audi's perform well, however BMW for all intents and purposes concocted the game car around 50 years prior. Also, its M3 and M5 models are worldwide execution legends. Indeed, even BMW's long running slogan, "The Ultimate Driving Machine", has developed the brand's enjoyable to-drive notoriety for quite a long time. Astoundingly, BMW has had the option to at the same time develop its Green notoriety. In the course of the most recent decade it has offered a lot more charged models than Audi, remembering plug-for cross breed variants of a portion of its cars and SUVs. Today, in 2019, it offers two module half breeds, the i3 and i8, just as an all-electric variant of the i3. BMW is likewise more slanted to try different things with colorful materials than Audi. The BMW i3 and its colorful module crossover sports vehicle, the i8, have carbon fiber structure, which is light, yet additionally over the top expensive. This innovation is normal in race autos. The structure of most generation vehicles is either steel or aluminum or a mix of each.

Red BMW i3 on european road

All things considered, Audi has offered more EV models than BMW, and its new all-electric e-Tron SUV will absolutely place a charge in its notoriety for building ecologically cognizant vehicles. Where Audi's notoriety sparkles is style and plan. Audi's are lovely. Most are so outwardly striking they turn developed men Pavlovian. They look energetic and dynamic, and they have for quite a while. There are likewise numerous wonderful BMWs, however most are simply appealing and some throughout the years have been out and out horrible.

Best Cars of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show

This is the year the future arrived at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Yes, there are plenty of interesting and significant production debuts – Bentley’s new Continental GT, BMW’s new X3 and M5, Porsche’s new Cayenne, Hyundai’s small Kona crossover, and Ferrari’s Portofino, to name a few – but the buzz is all about hybrids and electric vehicles and autonomous driving. This is the Frankfurt show where Mercedes-Benz, the company that – with some justification – claims to have invented the automobile – announced it would soon be building an electric-powered one that didn’t have a steering wheel or pedals. Loud, colorful, and with the swaggering might of the German auto industry on full display, Frankfurt 2017 is indeed an auto show to remember. Here are our picks of the best from the show floor. Star of the Show: Mercedes-AMG Project ONE There are faster hypercars. There are sexier hypercars. But there has never been a road-legal hypercar with an actual Formula 1 powertrain. Only Daimler, rich, powerful, and at the top of its game, could have the audacity – and the technical knowhow – to create a car like the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE. It shares most of its powerpack with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas grand prix racer that took Lewis Hamilton to victory in the 2015 Formula 1 World Driver’s Championship, and with more than 1000 hp on tap, it will be quicker than a Bugatti Chiron to 124 mph. The mere fact this car exists at all, complete with an airbag in the F1-style steering wheel and an air-conditioned cockpit, is cause for celebration. It’s the car at Frankfurt everyone wanted to see. –Angus MacKenzie Star of the Show: Kia ProCeed Concept As a child of the ‘60s, I’m exceptionally drawn to this car’s true four-door pillar-less door glass design. Sure, there is zero hope of providing adequate side-impact protection this way, but c’mon! Concept cars are supposed to be flights of fancy. I also love all the raw innovation in this design, from the “brightwork” surrounding the side glass that indeed glows with a remarkably uniform white LED light, to the seat fabric, which consists of 100 square meters (!) of black fabric that ends up looking a bit like shag carpet or something. This car is yet another milepost along the Korean automaker’s road from a “fast follower” copying designs and trends, to trend setter. We should be so lucky as to get anything nearing this car’s coolness on American roads in the near future. –Frank Markus Star of the Show: Kia ProCeed Concept The Kia Proceed is liquid lust in hot red. The four-door wagon concept looks like it is racing down the street even as it sits stationary on the stand. Unfortunately it will not be in motion on U.S. streets as this concept hints at the next generation of Kia’s Cee’d family for Europe. The look is clean, elegant, with beautiful proportions. The hood actually appears shorter than it is alongside the long body with no B pillar and the sharkfin trim at the C pillar. Inside, a tangle of shaved and unshaved ribbons on the seats: 100 square meters of black fabric in total. –Alisa Priddle Best Gotcha: Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy Jaguar says it’s planning a one-make race series for the forthcoming all-electric I-Pace, and to prove the point showed a concept of what the racecar would look like on its Frankfurt show stand. Except the Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy isn’t exactly a concept. Keen-eyed showgoers comparing it with the I-Pace concept will notice the race car has different exterior mirrors, different side windows, and slightly different styling around the rear hatch. They’d also notice the creases in the bodywork aren’t quite as sharp as those on the white concept, and that a pair of wipers are nestled at the base of the windshield. Yep, hiding in plain sight on the Jaguar stand is the production version of the swoopy I-Pace. Strip away the rear wing, the side skirts, the race-face front fascia, and the racy wheels and tires, and you’ll see exactly what the twin-motor I-Pace with around 400 hp and an anticipated EPA-rated range of about 220 miles will look like when it launches in the second half of 2018. –Angus MacKenzie Best Production Car: Bentley Continental GT At last, Bentley’s gran turismo gets the extravagant proportions it deserves, courtesy of the new VW Group MSB architecture it shares with Porsche’s Panamera. MSB, which is VW Group’s front-engine, rear and all-wheel-drive architecture, has allowed Bentley design boss Stefan Sielaff and his team to place the front wheels ahead of the engine, giving the new Conti GT the extended dash-to-axle ratio that’s been a hallmark of great British sports and luxury cars since the 1920s. The new Conti GT looks lower, sleeker, and more luxurious than its pug-nosed predecessor, with crisply tailored surfaces. Inside is an interior that ups the Bentley ante for knurled metal, rich leather, and beautifully finished wood, and does it in a thoroughly contemporary manner. –Angus MacKenzie Best Production Car: Land Rover Discovery SVX This is the first Discovery to get Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations treatment. The SUV gets a version of Jaguar Land Rover’s 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 engine, tweaked to generate 517 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The SUV has an eight-speed automatic transmission and two-range transfer box. Not only will it be quick and powerful on the road, the SVO team gave it more ground clearance to go anywhere. The winch is standard and it will be hand-built at the SVO technical center with some unique body panels once it becomes available in 2018. –Alisa Priddle Best Production Car: Ferrari Portofino I never liked the California’s Nicki Minaj junk-in-the-trunk design, and the fact that this one’s basic hard points have changed so little and yet the overall look has transformed so thoroughly—and looks equally fabulous, hard-top up or down—is a real testament to the design geniuses now employed within Ferrari (not at go-to design house Pininfarina). The fact that its twin-turbo V-8 gets a 39-horse bump to within kissing distance of 600 hp is just icing on the Amaretti Cake. –Frank Markus Best Concept Car: Borgward Isabella concept The gorgeous two-tone coupe, with the darker blue on top and lighter shade below, has lines along the hood and headlights that are reminiscent of the original and stunning Isabella from the 1950s and early ‘60s. But this concept is a statement of new elegance and beauty with its sculpted sides and stylized greenhouse providing a fresh side silhouette with a C pillar that passes over the body. In addition to the wraparound taillights are headlights in an intriguing pattern that makes a yin yang pattern of Nike swooshes. Inside is a three-piece steering wheel that is appealing its simplicity and a touchscreen that cascades down from the center of the dash. Elements of the Isabella could make its way into future sedans from a company that has resurrected the past with this emotional design. –Alisa Priddle Best Concept Car: Honda Urban EV Concept With its clean, simple surfaces, and fenders flared over big wheels at each corner, the Honda Urban EV riffed on classic European hot hatches of the ’70s and ’80s, like the original Volkswagen Golf GTI and Peugeot’s 205 GTI. With a look and feel very much inspired by product design principles rather than styling whimsies, the tiny Honda—it’s four inches shorter than a Fit—is a welcome breath of fresh air from a Japanese automaker whose recent production vehicle designs have tendered to suffer from too much surface entertainment. Honda boss Takahiro Hachigo says the Urban EV previews a brand-new EV platform from the company, and a production version of the car will be on sale in Europe in 2019. –Angus MacKenzie Sketchiest Concept Vehicle: BMW X7 iPerformance Concept Oh dear. This one looks like the design team just stood back and said, “Welp, there’s gonna be no hiding the fact that this is a great big gigantic SUV, so let’s just own its gargantuan-ness.” Every design detail seems to have been chosen to accentuate the vehicle’s vertical bulk, from the disturbingly tall and toothy interpretation of the double-kidney grille to the giant L-shaped fender vents and rear fascia details. The incredibly fine pillars on the greenhouse end up looking insufficient to support the bulk of the body should the truck ever turn turtle. Here’s one we’re eager to see changed substantially on its way to production. –Frank Markus Biggest Head-Scratcher: Mercedes-AMG Project ONE Suspension Inside the spectacular Mercedes exhibit hall—which is arranged just like its museum in Stuttgart, in the round and spiraling down from several stories up—was a naked chassis of the highly anticipated F1-inspired hypercar. But after studying the front and rear suspension for 10 minutes or more, I could not for the life of me work out how the pushrod-actuated spring-damper units worked. That’s because both of them interconnect both pivot points. I look forward to watching an animation of them in action. –Frank Markus Most Innovative Parking Solution: Renault Symbioz Concept This concept takes integration a step further: the car talks to the house and the two become one. The demonstration shows the autonomous car with an interior where passengers face each other. Once at home, the car raises on a giant round pedestal to the inside of the home where it doubles as another room of the house and the two can share their energy, with electricity flowing to whichever needs it more. It is an extension of Renault’s long-running well-being theme, updated to a new tagline: French design, easy life. As a car, it is self-driving and a quick one with 670 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque. –Alisa Priddle The post Best Cars of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show appeared first on Motor Trend.

227's™ Facebook Fries!¡' (aka YouTube Chili' NBA) #Nike'Spicy' NBA Finals Trending News! 2018 Spicy' Bugatti Chili' Chiron Spicy' Lego Chili' Technic kit is Chili' amazingly detailed #Walmart'Spicy'Tunes #Nike'Spicy'Tunes Spicy' NBA Mix!

Lego has finally followed up its amazing Porsche 911 GT3 Technic kit with a kit that's arguably more amazing, and certainly has more pieces. It's the 2018 Bugatti Chiron, and the 1/8 scale kit features 3,599 pieces, which is nearly 1,000 more than the 911. Those pieces make up an impressively detailed model just on looks alone. The blocky LED lights up front, the wide light bar at the rear and the trademark horseshoe design elements all translate surprisingly well to the Lego format. The interior has detailed seats and instruments, and there's even some Chiron luggage that fits under the trunk where there exists a unique serial number. But the really impressive stuff is under the plastic skin. Moving piston engines aren't new to Technic, but it is cool to see that Lego managed to create a tiny version of the W16 engine. You can clearly see each bank of narrow angle V8s and watch all the pistons dance. The engine is even hooked up to a real 8-speed sequential transmission. The transmission can be shifted via paddles in the driver's side footwell. The rear wing moves up and down, too, and is lowered for high-speed mode with a key you build out of Lego pieces. You'll want to make sure you have plenty of space on your table top for the finished product, since it's nearly two feet long. And budget plenty of time for assembling those thousands of pieces. But once you're finished, you'll have your own Bugatti Chiron with many of the same functioning features for so much less money. On that topic, the Chiron kit will cost $349.99, which isn't entirely cheap, but it is coming with a lot of parts and functionality. It's available through Lego stores both physical and online right now, and hits other stores on August 1.

Better yet, how does it have a 1000 hp and only reach 32 mph? Something does not add up. Given that this only has to propel about 200-250 lbs. through the air, it seems more likely that it makes somewhere south of 100 hp. AUDI E-TRON EV GETS SIDE CAMERAS INSTEAD OF MIRRORS FOR AERODYNAMICS wittlief 2d There are 3 problems that have not been resolved with using cameras to replace mirrors. Mirrors give you 3D stereoscopic depth perception, because each eye gets a different view. Mirrors give you a different view when you move your head to the left or right, or up and down Mirrors do not wash out in direct sunlight, or glare out at night from headlights behind you. Cameras fail on all three counts. U.S. ALLIES HIT BACK AT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S STEEL, ALUMINUM TARIFFS JSH 10h Bush tried this in 2002. He imposed up to 30% tariffs on imported steel. The EU and other allies filed suit with the WTO. The WTO ruled against the tariffs and Bush backed down and removed them in 2003. In the meantime it drove up steel prices in the USA, reduced GDP, and cost us jobs. ‘WHEELER DEALERS’’ EDD CHINA IS BACK WITH NEW YOUTUBE CAR RESTORATION SHOW MexL200 23h I like both Edd and Ant on Wheeler Dealers.
