#does this mean Bunny is the getaway driver or does Raffles make him scootch over even when Mackenzie is right behind them

@dnickels

raffles wouldn’t like to drive bc it’s already what he does for work -_- so bunny is both the getaway driver and personal chauffer. raffles sits in the back of his 2019 lexus rx (he drives a hybrid suv bc he wants to be sensible) and negs his driving. bunny still uses his signals during a chase bc he semi-consciously records every crime he’s committed as a point added to his “bad deeds counter” that can be taken away every time he follows a traffic law

here’s the raffles modern au no one asked for (but that i have been thinking of daily), wherein raffles is a formula one driver and bunny is a less than competent sports journalist (slash wag) who gets ratioed on twitter every day

2019 Lexus Suv Refresh, Release Date, Spy Photos, Changes & Specs

The clean, straightforward design of the 2019 Lexus Suv is let down only by the turbo model’s excessive add-ons.

2019 Lexus Suv Powertrain

The 2019 Lexus Suv SUV is in its last year before a redesign, but thankfully not a rethink. It’s spacious, quiet, comfortable, and capable, mostly thanks to its standard all-wheel-drive system and chunky flat-4 enging. The 2019 Lexus Suv offers a pleasantly…

WHEN SMALL CROSSOVER LUXURY 凌志最新攻「細」

早在2016年的巴黎車展上，Lexus已披露將會推出比RX和NX系列更年青、更入門版本的SUV，並命名為UX車系。早前，品牌於瑞典斯德哥爾摩舉辦全球傳媒首次試駕，men's uno有幸成為其中首批親身測試這台全新UX車款的雜誌。

開發更入門級SUV

過去幾年，SUV熱潮已席捲全球，而當這股風氣愈吹愈烈之際，SUV車型開始再分支出另一更年青、更緊湊、更休閒的所謂「Crossover SUV」，比傳統的SUV更適合於都會鬧市遊走，並更能彰顯時尚品味。Lexus這款全新UX，就正正是針對這個Crossover SUV市場而開發的入門版本。

針對這個市場，2018年下半到2019年初短短半年多時間裡，就會有五、六款全新入門豪華SUV上市，BMW、Audi和Jaguar都有新品推出。Lexus過去倒沒有這個領域的產品，入門車型只有兩廂的CT車系。而過去CT的主任工程師Chika Kako現在擔任了全新UX的首席工程師，所以兩款車都是Lexus的入門車型，只不過CT是轎車，UX是SUV。當然，與CT相比，UX的光環更加耀眼，因為無論是從設計還是技術方面，UX都不僅僅是「入門」水平，而是具有相當的前瞻性和突破性。

無論喜歡與否，你都必須承認，全新UX的設計頗具個性——從整體比例到細節設計，都是獨一無二的，不僅不會與其他品牌混淆，而且也與自家兄長NX和RX明顯區別開來，這就讓UX有了很強的角色感——UX就是UX，並不是誰的小弟，或者是哪款車的簡化版本。

充滿個性和魄力

當然，我想沒有幾個人不喜歡眼前這輛UX，因為你看到它時，大膽、時髦、動感、銳利等等很多詞兒都會湧上心頭。車頭的紡錘形大嘴再一次進化，其中的網格設計深邃而立體，頗具未來感。兩側的大燈極其鋒利，射出天鉤一般的眼神。車頭與車尾的線條，都有隱含的「X」線條在裡面，凸顯個性和魄力。側面腰線恰如其分的上揚，加上如風吹一般的輪拱，動感十足，又不失優雅和精緻。尾燈的造型與眾不同，帶有一個小小的空氣動力學設計，可以增加行駛穩定性。

UX雖是一款SUV，重心卻出奇地低，而且駕駛座的位置與整車重心非常接近，從而為提升操控性樹立牢固的根基。不過，受制於平台，UX尺寸不算大，車長不到4.5米，軸距2.64米。那麼如何能夠營造更好的空間感呢？ UX有個小秘訣。你坐進駕駛艙就會發現，儀錶台的高度與引擎艙蓋幾乎是齊平的，雖然隔著擋風玻璃，但兩者好像是一體的。駕駛員的視野可以盡量向前伸展，非常舒服而有趣。內飾的風格還是典型的Lexus，以黑色調為主，選料和做工都很精細，可不像外觀表達那麼強烈。整體佈局上沒有太多創新，而細節上亮點不少。

提出善意的批評

我最喜歡的是中央扶手音響控制。當你的手放在中央扶手上時，大拇指和食指會很自然地搭在音響控制的按鈕上，比軚盤或者中控台上其他任何位置都更方便調節。和紙面板在用料上有所創新，摸上去介於草紙和布料的手感之間，比傳統皮革更有質感。我感覺不太好用的是手寫板，類似鼠標的操作有時會不夠精確，換成旋鈕也許會更好些。F-Sport版本上的ASC按鈕可以通過音響模擬引擎高轉，也就是說在Sport+模式下加油到4,000轉以上時，你會聽到令人興奮的引擎高轉聲，而這種聲音並不是真的來自引擎，而是車內的音響。這種不真實的感覺有點雞肋。

由於軸距和造型的限制，UX的車內空間不算充裕。後排頭部和腿部都是剛剛夠用，後車門上沒有儲物格。後排座椅和坐姿還比較舒服，平地��也找回了一點空間。行李廂容積不到300升，因為要照顧到混能系統，還是顯得小了一些。空間小是這個級別共同的局限，消費者對這一點要有心理準備。

靜態部分的描述就差不多了，下面該上路跑跑了。應該說，Lexus好久沒有推出充滿樂趣的小車了，UX填補了這個空白。我們試駕的260h混能版本，綜合功率178匹馬力，聽上去不大，但扭矩有300牛·米左右，而且是自然吸氣2.0引擎加電動摩打，動力非常直接，低轉速下引擎扭矩雖然還沒爆發出來，但得到了電動摩打有力的補充，所以感覺非常充沛，相比增壓引擎，沒有渦輪遲滯，高轉速下動力更是隨叫隨到，還特別容易控制。無論是起步加速還是中途加速，力道都不錯。

新一代混能系統

在豐田集團全新的TNGA（Toyota New Global Architecture）汽車架構共享概念下，UX採用的乃專為中型車而設計的GA-C平台，這個平台重心很低，開起來的感覺完全不是SUV，反而更接近一架兩廂掀背小車。由於車身的激光焊接和粘合長度超過36米，車身剛性非常強，絲毫感覺不到底盤或者車身有任何扭動。轉向也很直接，過彎乾淨利落，前麥花臣後多連桿懸掛調校比較緊。這種靈巧活潑的感受讓我想起來Toyota第一代Vitz，它可是2000年歐洲年度車的得主。當然，UX與歐洲運動型車比起來，底盤表現沒有那麼誇張，畢竟是Toyota，依然保持了良好的舒適性，從而完全不影響日常駕駛，這樣的動態表現非常討年輕人喜歡。

能夠有這樣的駕駛表現，部分要歸功於全新一代hybrid混能系統。全新2.0自然吸氣引擎的熱效率接近40%，新的傳動機構更加緊湊，而且最大限度地降低發熱和摩擦產生的消耗，從而帶來非常順暢的駕駛感覺。新的鎳氫電池組更加小巧，位於後排座椅左下方，比過去更節省空間，也更有利於整車重心的降低。

我們試駕的UX260h還選裝了E-Four電動四驅。它的原理非常簡單，後橋上有一個輔助電機（並沒有傳動軸連接前後橋），當系統判斷需要後輪動力的時候，它就會啟動，例如冰雪路面、上坡、轉彎等等。我理解這系統更多是錦上添花的作用，因為作為一款城市SUV，真正需要它越野的時候，to be honest，應該並不多吧？

2021 Lincoln Nautilus First Test: New Interior, Same Handsome Looks

Lincoln SUVs are on a roll. The reinvention that began with the Navigator a few years ago has trickled down to the Aviator, Nautilus, and Corsair. But unlike the Aviator and Corsair—which received full makeovers and new platforms—the Nautilus got a midcycle refresh for 2019 that only took care of its exterior styling and a name change from MKX to Nautilus. The 2021 Lincoln Nautilus takes things a step further, as it gets a second midcycle refresh that finally feels new inside, adopting the midcentury modern style and fancy tech that we’ve loved in recent Lincolns. Although the Nautilus doesn’t get a whole new generation, this upgrade feels like going from business to first class.

The Nautilus continues to share its platform with the Ford Edge, competing against other popular two-row luxury midsize crossovers such as the Mercedes-Benz GLE, BMW X5, Lexus RX, and to a certain extent the Cadillac XT5.

We spent a few days with the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus to experience its new interior and see how it stands against its competition.

2021 Lincoln Nautilus: Inside

From the materials to the design and infotainment screen, Lincoln did a thorough job redesigning the experience inside the cabin. What gets the most attention is the new 13.2-inch screen, which is not only the biggest display in any Lincoln but is also the first one equipped with Sync 4, Ford’s latest infotainment system.

Sync 4 feels like going from iOS 10 to 14. It’s not just the graphics that change; virtually everything is new. Perhaps the most important change is the ability to receive over-the-air software updates, making it easier to have the latest maps and features without having to visit a dealer. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are part of the upgrade, and like other recent Lincolns, it adds Phone as a Key, which allows you to lock, unlock, and start your car without having the key fob with you. Like many other systems these days, voice recognition allows you to verbalize commands, but Sync 4 is a bit behind other systems, like Audi’s or Mercedes’, as it doesn’t have the same kind of conversational capability.

The new system is also easier to navigate than the old Sync 3 thanks to simplified menus and a split-screen option, something we complained about in the past.

Taking a page from the Navigator, Aviator, and Corsair, the Nautilus adopts a horizontal interior design, which now incorporates the gear selector in the form of piano keys located under the air vents in the center stack. It looks elegant but puts the Drive and Sport buttons farther away from the driver, making them hard to reach. Under the gear selector, volume and tuning knobs are located just above the dual-zone climate controls. Our Black Label example came equipped with 22-way powered front seats and the Revel Ultima premium audio system with 19 speakers, making drives more comfortable and enjoyable.

The cabin’s mix of materials—soft leather, ritzy chrome, and beautiful wood—deliver a cozy and pleasant feel to all occupants. Lincoln engineers packed the Nautilus with tons of sound-deadening materials; they did such a good job that when having a phone conversation, my friend on the other end of the line couldn’t believe I was driving. Upping the experience inside, the front seats also offer massages, which always felt great whether we were driving short or long distances.

Given its midsize configuration, the Nautilus is quite spacious in both the front and rear seats. Cargo room is ample, with enough space for large suitcases should you go on a road trip.

2021 Lincoln Nautilus: The Drive

Lincoln didn’t make any changes under the Nautilus’ hood, which means the base mill remains a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 with 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque with all-wheel drive as an option (front drive is standard). Black Label models continue with the punchier 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 that makes 335 hp and 380 lb-ft, with standard all-wheel drive. Both engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Like you’d expect from those horsepower numbers, the Nautilus Black Label has oomph. Press the throttle to merge on the freeway, and your back pushes against the seatback as the speedometer’s needle quickly moves up. The engine feels zippy for an SUV this size, with  virtually no turbo lag. However, the transmission likes to take its time to shift at highway speeds, and it had a few abrupt shifts when driving at parking lot speeds.

Lincoln tuned the suspension to offer a plush ride, with the dampers doing a great job filtering the broken pavement, bumps, or ruts. Even with the 21-inch wheels, the ride is controlled and soft, exactly what you’d expect from a luxury SUV. The body is well controlled through tight turns, but we noted a lack of lateral support from the seats when driving aggressively (something most customers won’t do, anyway). The steering is tuned toward the lighter side, but it still provided a good amount of feedback.

At the track, the Nautilus made it to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, completing the quarter mile in 14.3 seconds at 95.3 mph. Those numbers put it in line with the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 (5.6 seconds) but slightly below the 2019 BMW X5 xDrive40i (5.0 seconds). The Nautilus was also way better than the last Lexus RX 350 F Sport we tested—a 2016 model that reached 60 mph in 6.8 seconds.

Like all Lincolns these days, the Nautilus comes standard with Lincoln Co-Pilot 360, a safety-tech package that includes assists designed to reduce driver stress. Our Black Label, however, came with Lincoln Co-Pilot 360 Plus, which adds a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality and lane centering, active park assistance, and front parking sensors.

  2021 Lincoln Nautilus: Should I Buy It?

With its updated interior, the 2021 Nautilus finally feels like it’s part of the new Lincoln. Though it’s not a new generation, this second midcycle update is extensive as far as facelifts go, and more than anything it elevates the Nautilus to the same level we’ve seen in the Corsair, Aviator, and Navigator. And while its platform has been only mildly touched since its inception in 2016, it still feels adequate.

Our $68,295 Black Label is expensive any way you look at it, but prices didn’t increase much compared to last year. Buyers who don’t opt for the Black Label still get a well-appointed cabin, though the two-color interior and fancier trims are exclusive to the top trim. However, the 13.2-inch screen with Sync 4 is standard across the lineup.

We don’t know when the next-gen version will arrive, but if the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus is a taste of what we’ll eventually get, we’re excited about what’s coming

Tham vọng phát triển xe tự lái của Apple

Apple được cho là đã đặt mục tiêu tự chế tạo xe tự lái, nhưng giới chuyên gia tin còn lâu nữa chiếc xe đó mới xuất hiện ngoài đời thực.

Năm 2007, Steve Jobs giới thiệu chiếc iPhone đầu tiên. Một năm sau, ông nhận được một đề xuất, nói rằng Apple nên chế tạo một chiếc ôtô. Hơn 10 năm qua, Apple từng bước hiện thực hóa tham vọng này dù họ chưa từng chính thức đề cập tới.

Apple có tham vọng lớn về xe tự lái. Ảnh: Telegraph.

Tháng trước, thông tin Apple đang phát triển xe tự lái tiếp tục được Reuters đề cập, thậm chí cho biết hãng sẽ tung ra sản phẩm trong năm 2024, đi kèm công nghệ pin có dung lượng lớn và kích thước nhỏ.

Tuy vậy, các nhà phân tích tỏ ra hoài nghi về dự án xe tự lái của Apple - thiết bị mà họ gọi là "iCar".

Richard Windsor, nhà phân tích công nghệ tại Radio Free Mobile, cho rằng xe tự lái của Apple mới dừng ở mức ý tưởng. "Apple có thể đã tạo ra một mẫu ôtô thử nghiệm, nhưng họ dường như chưa có ý định thương mại hóa chúng", Windsor nói.

Apple thường giữ bí mật về các dự án của mình. Tuy nhiên, có những bằng chứng cho thấy công ty đã đầu tư nhiều công sức và thời gian khá dài cho dự án xe hơi.

"Chúng tôi từng có một vài đợt khảo sát. Những câu hỏi được đặt ra trong việc chế tạo một chiếc ôtô là: Chúng ta sẽ làm những cái gì, bảng điều khiển ôtô sẽ thế nào, chỗ ngồi ra sao, xe sẽ được tiếp nhiên liệu truyền thống hay dùng pin", Tony Fadell, từng làm việc tại Apple đến năm 2010, tiết lộ với Bloomberg vào năm 2015.

Trong khi đó, theo Mickey Drexler, cựu thành viên hội đồng quản trị Apple, cho biết Steve Jobs có tham vọng rất lớn về xe tự lái. "Nếu ông ấy còn sống, ông ấy sẽ thiết kế một iCar", Drexler nói.

Jobs qua đời năm 2011. Đến 2014, Apple dưới sự lãnh đạo của Tim Cook bắt đầu đầu tư nghiêm túc vào dự án xe hơi. Một năm sau, Wall Street Journal đưa tin về Project Titan - dự án xe tự lái bí mật của Apple. Thậm chí, một số người còn phát hiện có những chiếc xe tải lạ, trên nóc có camera và cảm biến quét, xuất hiện tại khu vực Vịnh San Francisco. Chúng được cho là của Apple.

Có giai đoạn, Apple tuyển hơn 1.000 nhân viên cho Project Titan. Năm 2016, Bloomberg đưa tin Tim Cook đã liên hệ với Magna, một nhà sản xuất ôtô hợp đồng của Canada, về việc sản xuất xe cho Apple.

Apple không chỉ tập trung vào xe điện. Theo dữ liệu công khai năm 2019, hãng đang có khoảng 70 xe không người lái thử nghiệm đã đăng ký ở California. Hầu hết trong số đó là những chiếc Lexus RX SUV được gắn hệ thống cảm biến laser Lidar do Velodyne phát triển.

Các tài liệu thu được từ Silicon Valley Business Journal cũng cho thấy, Apple đã thuê một tòa nhà gần Sunnyvale để phục vụ đội ngũ nghiên cứu sản xuất xe. Tòa nhà được đặt tên theo các vị thần Hy Lạp như Zeus, Rhea, Athena. Cách đặt tên này được đánh giá tương đồng với Project Titan. Bộ phận này cũng được cho là đã mua Drive.AI, một startup về xe tự lái, vào năm 2019.

Tuy nhiên, dự án Titan không suôn sẻ. Ban lãnh đạo của dự án đã phải "thay máu" nhiều lần. Trong đó, Steve Zadesky, người từng làm cho Ford và là trưởng dự án, rời Apple vào năm 2019.

Tháng 2/2019, Apple nộp một văn bản thông báo lên văn phòng bang California, trong đó cho biết sẽ có 190 nhân viên nghỉ việc. Trước đó, công ty xác nhận họ có "đội ngũ vô cùng tài năng làm việc trên các hệ thống tự động", nhưng một số đang được luân chuyển sang các bộ phận khác.

Các thiết bị của Apple trong dự án Titan được cho là đã chạy thử nghiệm khoảng 78.605 dặm trong năm 2018. Tuy nhiên, con số đó giảm xuống chỉ còn 7.544 dặm năm 2019. Chỉ 23 trong số 70 xe có khả năng tự lái thực sự - kết quả bị đánh giá là thất bại nếu so sánh với các đối thủ.

Theo báo cáo từ cảnh sát California, một số xe không người lái của Apple đã gây ra các vụ tai nạn kỳ quặc. Sự cố gần nhất là vào năm 2019 khi xe của Apple đã tự tông vào đuôi xe phía trước dù xe đó đang đứng yên.

Philippe Houchois, nhà phân tích của Jefferies - công ty chuyên nghiên cứu về các doanh nghiệp sản xuất xe điện như Tesla, nhận định vấn đề của Apple hiện nay là phần mềm điều khiển. "Apple quan tâm đến phần mềm cho xe, nhưng mọi thứ chưa hoàn chỉnh", Houchois nói.

Đối với mốc thời gian 2024, các nhà phân tích tin đó chưa thể là thời điểm Apple bán ra chiếc xe tự lái đầu tiên. Ming-Chi Kuo, nhà phân tích của TF Securities, cho rằng thị trường đang "quá lạc quan" về triển vọng xe hơi của Apple, nhưng mọi thứ sẽ không theo tiến độ. "Ít nhất là từ năm 2025 đến 2027, xe của Apple mới có mặt trên thị trường", Kuo dự đoán.

CEO Tesla, Elon Musk, cũng tuyên bố những công nghệ trên xe của Apple đã được ông sử dụng cho xe của mình từ lâu. Theo Reuters, Apple đang phát triển pin cho xe hơi với tên gọi "monocell", nhưng Musk nói công nghệ này khó có thể dùng cho ôtô điện vì mức điện áp của chúng "quá thấp".

Giới phân tích Phố Wall dự đoán, Apple sẽ bắt đầu phát triển các thành phần cho xe tự lái, thay vì tạo một chiếc xe hoàn chỉnh vào năm 2024. "Cơ hội để Apple phát hành chiếc xe của riêng mình vào năm 2024 chỉ là từ 35 đến 40%", Dan Ives, nhà phân tích tại Wedbush Securities, nhận xét. "Một chiếc xe tự lái sẽ mất nhiều thời gian để sản xuất hơn do vướng các vấn đề về an toàn và quy định".

Bất chấp hoài nghi, không thể phủ nhận Apple có đủ nguồn lực để phát triển một chiếc xe tự lái và việc thương mại hóa chỉ là vấn đề thời gian. Công ty đang có hơn 200 tỷ USD tiền mặt, cũng như liên tục tuyển dụng đội ngũ kỹ sư giỏi trong lĩnh vực xe tự hành. James Carson, cựu giám đốc mảng xe tự hành của NIO và Hugh Reynolds, cựu giám đốc mô phỏng hệ thống xe tự lái của Uber, là hai trong số đó.

Tuần trước, Hyundai cũng xác nhận đang thảo luận với Apple về việc phát triển xe hơi. Công ty Hàn Quốc cho biết việc bàn bạc mới ở "giai đoạn đầu", nhưng tiến độ có thể được đẩy nhanh trong tương lai.

Theo Windsor, rào cản chính cho tham vọng sản xuất không người lái của Apple có thể là lợi nhuận. Sản xuất ôtô sẽ không tạo ra lợi nhuận cao như iPhone, iPad. Trong khi đó, các nhà phân tích của Goldman Sachs cho rằng Apple nên triển khai mô hình dịch vụ hơn là chế tạo một chiếc xe tự lái và bán ra thị trường.

BMW Pushes Weirdly Hostile Marketing Campaign to Say You‘re Dumb for Thinking the iX Is Ugly

Hello, fellow kids! I hear what's lit with the teens is to be condescended to by a large multinational corporation. That's what someone who's handling BMW's marketing team thinks, anyway, and they're doing so in the cringiest way possible to promote the new iX electric SUV. At this point, we're all a bit tired of mocking BMW's current design direction, particularly its gigantic grilles. To say they're polarizing would be the charitable read, but I prefer more accurate descriptions like "cursed beaver teeth" or "a hideous robot version of the Killer Rabbit from Monty Python." Instead of taking the constructive criticism-including that of current BMW owners who like, See: bluedriver where to buy. just can't even, breh-BMW is doubling down in a way that's openly hostile to its existing fanbase. The entire marketing campaign for the iX centers upon telling BMW's followers that we're wrong. BMW hit peak cringe with this campaign on Sunday, unearthing the good ol' "ok boomer" meme in response to someone's comment on YouTube:OK, Boomer.And what's your reason not to change?The first-ever BMW iX.https://t.co/NhWosxWcxK#NEXTGen #THEiX pic.twitter.com/5FvndzlzviDid...did anyone tell the social media department that "ok boomer" died over a year ago the second it appeared in a New York Times thinkpiece? Or that it last peaked in late 2019, according to Know Your Meme? No? Carry on, then. Not only is BMW writing off critics as boomers who are resistant to change, but they even quoted one such comment right there in the graphic. It's not just this guy, either. So, you wanna bet on?The first-ever BMW iX.https://t.co/NhWosxWcxK#NEXTGen #THEiX pic.twitter.com/ZjRqGnVswvAnother tweet featured a quote from Facebook: "This isn't BMW."As Jalopnik notes, this iX campaign isn't just a string of smug tweets. The premise of an entire two-minute commercial for the iX is just "someone is wrong on the internet."The commercial, entitled "What's your reason not to change?," features quotes about the iX from social media including "Let me unsee this," "Can't you make electric cars look like normal cars?," "Are you still making cars for normal people?" and "Looks like a low-budget 80s sci-fi movie." The narrator rebuts them all with, "Did we somehow start to feel uncomfortable with the unknown? Or did we just stop being open for anything new?" The actor behind the wheel even swipes comments away. Just in case this isn't enough doubling down on it, BMW also hopped into its Twitter replies to tell more folks who think the iX is an i-Sore that their largely subjective judgements are wrong:TWEET THROUGH IT, BMW! Because that always works! </sarcasm>I get it: Defending BMW is their job, and I don't envy that one right now. I also chuckled at a couple of these replies, like claiming that the grille was just "more to love." Goodness knows, I've spent plenty of times sticking up for places I've written for online, too, but I also don't write off those critics as stuck in the past or wrong, either. This whole campaign also repeatedly misses the point that a lot of critics have about their latest cars when it frames some of the "not a BMW"-type comments around electrification. It's not the electrification that's the issue for a lot of t3H HaTeRzZz. There will always be EV haters out there, but for the rest of us, the technical specs of a 500-horsepower all-electric SUV with a 300-mile range are damn impressive. The big beef that electric and internal combustion fans can both share a pretzel over-and what many of these ads' comments probably refer to-is that BMW's new cars aren't pretty.New chief designer Adrian van Hooydonk completely ignored many of BMW's classic design cues when he designed 3 and 4 series cars that look depressingly generic beyond the silly bucktooth grille. The iX continues those mistakes, dropping the uniquely BMW whimsy of the i3 and i8 for an SUV that looks like a cross between a Lexus RX and a rodent of unusual size. Fortunately, BMW is a little clearer when responding to design-specific questions on its landing page for the iX, even telling us, "We don't wish ...

CADILLAC XT6: 10 THINGS TO KNOW

Here are 10 things you might want to know about the new 2020 Cadillac XT6.

Not only did I recently take advantage of a round trip between Montreal and Quebec City to familiarize myself with the XT6 SUV, I also experienced Cadillac’s online service (Cadillac Live) for an hour to discuss 10 things you should know in greater depth. Or what I thought I knew…

1 Hello, I’m listening!

Cadillac Online is a web-based conversation between you and a Cadillac expert. Please note that I do not write “sales consultant”. The expert will talk to you about all aspects of any Cadillac product except price. To negotiate, buy or lease, you will need to contact a Cadillac dealer.

The expert will be happy to pass the baton to the franchisee you already know, or he will suggest two or three based on your postal code. Either way, everyone knows everything about us these days…

2 Secret Fortress

They are several experts walking around, camera in hand, in what looks like a vast futuristic showroom where at least one of every Cadillac currently on the Canadian market is assembled. The exact location of the white cave is kept secret. All we know is that it’s somewhere in Ontario. Come to think of it, it may be the underground bunker used by Mike Myers to shoot his Austin Powers trilogy. Except that the expert I talked to didn’t look at all like Dr. Evil.

3 Very Special Agent

Her name was Amy. Originally from Saguenay, she has been working for Cadillac Online since the beginning of the digital initiative in March 2019. As soon as we connect, go ahead and ask all your questions. Amy is the one holding the camera and pointing it at the part of the vehicle you are interested in. You’re actually driving around the XT6 with her. You can see her (when she points the lens at her face) but she can’t see you, so you can store at the poolside, Amy won’t mind.

4 An invention from here

She told me that her conversations with potential clients can last three minutes (she is given a specific glue) or an hour and a half (probably the client really wants to talk that day). This unique service is available seven days a week, in both official languages, until one o’clock in the morning on weekdays.

Cadillac Live was created for Canadians, and then Americans followed suit in January of this year. Natalie Nankil, Senior Director of Communications for General Motors products, admits that the service is still “a little too well kept secret” but now that the pandemic has gotten people used to talking about Zoom and online shopping is on the rise, the virtual showroom’s popularity is expected to snowball.

5 From the place

The first aspect of the XT6 that Amy wants to highlight is its three rows of seats. Those in the middle easily disappear from the path to the folding seats, but you have to step over a high threshold and endure cruel padding for the buttocks. On the other hand, the high clearance smiled perfectly at my sombrero.

My laziness also loved the 50/50 seatbacks in the back seat that lower and raise at the touch of an electric switch. Standard, too.

In the Premium Luxury model, the cabin is clad in exotic wood, while in the Sport, the cabin prefers carbon fiber. On the outside, the two versions stand out mainly through the use of chrome or blacked-out edging, but only the Sport is available with the optional 21-inch soles.

6 Mission luxury

In addition to good old-fashioned buttons on the panel, console and steering wheel, a rotary joystick allows you to manipulate the 8″ center screen without smudging it with fingerprints. The 14-speaker Bose Performance Series sound system helps us better understand what Hubert Lenoir is saying. Plus, six USB jacks, one pair per row of leather thrones.

The XT6 comes with a host of driving aids, but the optional ones are just as numerous as the standard ones. What about the Super Cruise? You know, GM’s artificial intelligence that governs its semi-autonomous driving system (the equivalent of Tesla’s Autopilot and Nissan’s ProPILOT). The gizmo is currently available on the Cadillac CT5, CT5-V, CT4-V and Escalade 2021, but not yet for the XT6, and no one has been able to tell me when this gap will be filled.

7 A little publicity?

Built at the Spring Hill, Tennessee plant, the Cadillac XT6 first made its world debut at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show – the last in its long history to be held in January – and its Canadian debut at the Toronto Auto Show in February of that year. GM immediately positioned it between the XT5 and the Escalade.

During the last six months of 2019 when the XT6 went on sale, 46 units were sold in Quebec. Far, far behind the two leaders in the luxury mid-size SUV segment, the Lexus RX (940) and the Mercedes-Benz GLE (885). At least the little brother XT5 saved face with 788 contracts.

8 In the bowels

The 310-horsepower 3.6L V6 is certainly not exclusive to the XT6. Lift the hood of the XT5, a Colorado or Canyon, the Traverse/Acadia/Enclave trio (identical platform to the Cadillac) or even a Camaro LS or LT and there it is, all dashing. At the very least, it puts two cylinders to rest when the power of the V6 isn’t needed. Add to this good idea the 9-speed automatic transmission plus the four driving modes, and you can expect fuel consumption of between 9 and 12 liters per 100 km.

9 Confort sportif

The Sport model’s all-wheel drive (AWD) makes its occupants feel more agitated, while the firmness of the shocks continually yo-yoes with the nature of the surface encountered under the tires and the steering wheel, with its heightened sensitivity, wiggles a little more in the driver’s palms.

10 Figures

What does the 2863 mm wheelbase and 5050 mm length of the XT6 tell us? That they slightly exceed the dimensions of a class-leading Lexus RX. The 356, 1220 or 2228 liter capacity, depending on the number of reclining backrests, also looks good, as does the towing capacity of 1814 kg (4000 lbs). In short, starting at $61,098 (compared to $87,698 for the V8-powered Escalade), the XT6 is aimed above all at the followers of a brand whose prestige still overshadows the many assets of the vast competition. At least in their eyes… and certainly according to Amy!

Đánh Giá Lexus RX350L 2020: Phiên bản xe hơi 3 hàng ghế của dòng xe Crossover RX

Ra mắt lần đầu tiên vào năm 2018, RX L được coi là một phiên bản xe hơi 3 hàng ghế của dòng xe Crossover RX đến từ Lexus – công ty con của nhà sản xuất Toyota chuyên phát triển những dòng xe hơi hạng sang.

Dòng Crossover hạng sang RX thường chỉ có 2 hàng ghế với 5 chỗ ngồi. Tuy nhiên, Lexus đã chính thức đánh dấu một bước đột phá mới khi cho ra mắt biến thể RX L, bổ sung thêm hàng ghế thứ 3 với cấu hình tiêu chuẩn 7 chỗ ngồi. Tạo ra một phiên bản mới với 7 chỗ ngồi, Lexus thậm chí còn không hề gia tăng chiều dài cơ sở của RX thế hệ thứ 4. Cột C của RX L sẽ được kéo dài thêm một chút, cho phép đủ không gian cho hàng ghế thứ 3 nhỏ.

Hàng ghế thứ 3 chật chội

Tương tự như những chiếc xe Crossover sang trọng với 3 hàng ghế hiện nay, Lexus RX L vẫn sở hữu không gian khá chật hẹp ở hàng ghế cuối. Trong khi hàng ghế thứ 2 được trang bị tính năng trượt ghế lên/xuống thì hàng ghế cuối trở nên chật hẹp và đôi lúc mang đến những trải nghiệm ngồi không thoải mái.

Đặc biệt là khi trượt về phía sau, hàng ghế thứ 2 sẽ tiếp xúc với đệm dưới của hàng ghế thứ 3. Và để có thể cung cấp không gian để chân cho hàng ghế cuối, hàng ghế thứ 2 sẽ phải trượt về phía trước – điều này cũng tạo ra một bất lợi cho những hành khách ở hàng ghế này. Không những vậy, không gian trần xe của hàng ghế thứ 3 cũng tương đối hạn chế.

Lexus cũng công bố doanh số của dòng xe RX L trong năm 2019 chỉ chiếm khoảng 13% tổng doanh số của RX. Khách hàng lựa chọn RX L chỉ đơn giản vì không gian chở hàng rộng rãi hơn khi gập phẳng hoàn toàn hàng ghế thứ 3 – gia tăng thêm 192 lít dung tích khoang hành lý so với phiên bản RX 2 hàng ghế.

Khả năng vận hành ấn tượng

Mặc dù những trải nghiệm của hành khách trên RX L không mấy dễ chịu, nhưng chiếc xe vẫn thừa hưởng được những yếu tố khiến RX tiêu chuẩn trở thành một sự lựa chọn phổ biến trong phân khúc SUV hạng sang: cảm giác lái thoải mái, hệ truyền động tinh tế và nội thất sang trọng.

Lexus RX350L 2020 hoàn toàn có thể mang đến những giây phút vận hành êm ái và yên tĩnh nhất với khoang cabin được thiết kế để giảm đáng kể tiếng ồn và rung lắc dù có gặp phải những cung đường gồ ghề nhất. RX L hoàn toàn có thể so sánh với biến thể F Sport của RX với hệ thống treo cứng cáp hơn nhưng yêu cầu khả năng xử lý phức tạp hơn.

Lexus RX350L 2020 thậm chí còn được bổ sung thêm option hệ dẫn động 4 bánh, cho phép mang tới khả năng vận hành ấn tượng và mạnh mẽ hơn rất nhiều. Lấy ví dụ từ chiếc RX350L đời 2018 có thể đạt 100 km/h từ vạch xuất phát chỉ trong 7.3 giây đồng hồ và mất 15.5 giây để hoàn thành chặng ¼ dặm ở vận tốc 145 km/h. Nằm dưới nắp capo là động cơ V6 mạnh mẽ, kết hợp cùng hộp số 8 cấp tự động mang tới khả năng vận hành mượt mà và trơn tru.

Giá bán và đối thủ

Lexus RX350L 2020 có mức giá khởi điểm tại Mỹ từ 55.725 USD (~ 1.3 tỷ đồng). Bên cạnh đó là hàng loạt gói option như Luxury Package, hàng ghế thứ 2 thuyền trưởng, Cold Weather Package, màn hình hiển thị trên kính lái HUD, hệ thống âm thanh Mark Levinson, màn hình thông tin giải trí cảm ứng 12.3 inch.

Nếu thực sự cần một chiếc Crossover hạng sang 3 hàng ghế, khách hàng có thể lựa chọn Acura MDX, Cadillac XT6, Lincoln Aviator hay Volvo XC90 cung cấp những trải nghiệm vận hành tương tự nhưng có không gian rộng rãi hơn cho hành khách. Lexus RX350L đạt đủ điều kiện tiêu chuẩn của một chiếc SUV 3 hàng ghế nhưng chưa thực sự vượt trội trong phân khúc.
