Everything You Need to Know about the VW Diesel-Emissions Scandal

–

General Motors and Toyota had their massive scandals. Now it’s Volkswagen’s turn. The company, which owns 70 percent of the U.S. passenger-car diesel market, is in major trouble for cheating on diesel-emissions tests. After years of promoting “Clean Diesel” as an alternative to hybrid and electric vehicles—the company even marched on Washington with a squadron of Audi TDI models—Volkswagen is stewing in its own toxic vapors. Here’s our handy guide to what’s happening.

–

What happened?

–

Volkswagen installed emissions software on more than a half-million diesel cars in the U.S.—and roughly 10.5 million more worldwide—that allows them to sense the unique parameters of an emissions drive cycle set by the Environmental Protection Agency. According to the EPA and the California Air Resources Board, who were tipped off by researchers in 2014, these so-called “defeat devices” detect steering, throttle, and other inputs used in the test to switch between two distinct operating modes.

–

In the test mode, the cars are fully compliant with all federal emissions levels. But when driving normally, the computer switches to a separate mode—significantly changing the fuel pressure, injection timing, exhaust-gas recirculation, and, in models with AdBlue, the amount of urea fluid sprayed into the exhaust. While this mode likely delivers higher mileage and power, it also permits heavier nitrogen-oxide emissions (NOx)—a smog-forming pollutant linked to lung cancer—up to 40 times higher than the federal limit. That doesn’t mean every TDI is pumping 40 times as much NOx as it should. Some cars may emit just a few times over the limit, depending on driving style and load.

–

Which cars are affected? Will my car pass state inspection?

–

The following Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche diesel models have been cited by the EPA for emissions violations. There is no recall, and the cars pass all state inspections, at least for now. Remember, VW has admitted to violating federal emissions laws, and as such, it’s neither a state nor a safety issue. However, if Volkswagen does issue a recall, some states (particularly California and some that follow Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle standards) may prevent owners from renewing their registration if they don’t complete the fix.

–

What diesels can’t I buy?

–

Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche dealers can’t sell any new diesels. Additional certified pre-owned diesels are also under stop-sale orders (except for 2015 models with the 2.0-liter engine). The following cars cover models and model years that go beyond those cited by the EPA, which has not ordered VW to halt sales. This list of banned diesels comes directly from VW corporate, although more models could be added. Other 2016 diesel models scheduled to debut, such as the 2016 Passat TDI, will not be offered anymore. Volkswagen has since committed to electric cars, and it’s possible the company will not sell a TDI diesel in the U.S. ever again.

What’s Volkswagen doing for customers?

–

For 2.0-liter Volkswagen and Audi TDI models: – -U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer approved the final $14.7 billion settlement on October 25, 2016, after which Volkswagen will start mailing notifications to all current affected owners and lessees of 2.0-liter cars informing them of the $10 billion buyback program. Judge Breyer had approved the preliminary settlement for the same amount on July 26, 2016. TDI owners who purchased their cars before September 17, 2015, can sell their cars back to Volkswagen for between $12,500 and $44,000, depending on model, age, trim, and region. TDI lessees will receive a cash value between $2600 and $4900. Owners and lessees who sold their cars or quit their leases before June 28, 2016, are also eligible. The buyback process started in November 2016. Official details and a VIN lookup are here. Exact payouts for all affected models can be found here.

–

Through October 18, 2016, 340,000 owners and lessees have sent in registration forms indicating they want the company to buy back their cars under the government-negotiated compensation agreement. That’s nearly three-quarters of all 475,000 Volkswagen and Audi models with 2.0-liter diesel engines currently registered on U.S. roads.

–

Owners who do not sell their cars back to Volkswagen will receive between $5100 and $10,000 to compensate for diminished resale value, plus a free emissions fix (see full details here). All owners and lessees of 2.0-liter TDI models will have up to May 2018 to decide their options. The eligibility dates correspond to the day immediately before the EPA first announced the violations and the day the EPA announced its preliminary settlement with the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission.

–

For 3.0-liter Volkswagen and Audi TDI and Porsche diesel models: – -As of December 21, 2016, Volkswagen reached a second settlement with the roughly 78,000 owners and lessees of 3.0-liter diesel models. In late January 2017, Volkswagen announced a $1.2 billion program that differs substantially from the $10 billion program for 2.0-liter diesel models. Currently, only owners of 2009–2012 Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg models with the Generation 1 engine are eligible for buybacks between $24,755 to $57,157. This is because Volkswagen cannot repair them to be emissions-compliant unlike the Generation 2 engines in 2013–2016 models, which can be fixed under a formal recall to be announced later this year. For those Generation 2 models, Volkswagen will offer cash compensation ranging from $7039 to $16,114; if the recall isn’t made “timely available,” the automaker will buy them back. Generation 2 lessees can receive between $5677 and $12,492 for terminating their leases early. If lessees decide to keep their cars and perform the fix, they each receive a flat $2000. In all cases with Generation 2 cars, owners and lessees can opt to receive half of the cash payments upfront, and the other half once the vehicle is repaired.

–

Generation 1 lessees of 2012 vehicles can receive between $5001 and $6615 for terminating their leases early. Generation 1 owners who do not sell their cars back to Volkswagen can receive $7755 to $13,880. For complete details, see the court’s handy executive summary.

–

These prices have been set using NADA Used Car Guide Clean Retail values as of November 2015 and adjusted for options, mileage, and the region the vehicle was registered in as of that month. The 2016 diesel models will be repurchased at 12.9 percent above prices for equivalent 2015 models. Owners and lessees will also be reimbursed for state and local taxes. The registration deadline is March 31, 2019. Owners and lessees will get the same payment (adjusted for mileage) regardless of when they register.

–

Expired incentive programs:

–

As part of its Customer Goodwill package, Volkswagen offered $1000 cash to every owner of a 2.0-liter TDI named in the EPA’s first violation notice: a $500 prepaid Visa card to spend on anything and another $500 cash card valid only at Volkswagen dealerships (to use toward another car, service, or lots of VW hats). They also could get free 24-hour roadside assistance for the next three years. The deadline to register for that program ended April 30. The same offer was extended to owners of 3.0-liter diesel models, who had until July 31. Audi, Porsche, and VW TDI owners who took delivery after November 8 were not eligible (full rules here). Current owners of any VW model were also able to get a $2000 cash rebate toward a new car, although this incentive may continue to vary or expire as time progresses. Dealers also have “discretionary” cash they can use to sweeten deals (and they’re getting guaranteed kickbacks for some models). Basically, if Volkswagen is on your shopping list, now’s the time to haggle like a pro.

–

When will my car be fixed?

–

For 2.0-liter Volkswagen and Audi TDI models:

–

As of January 6, 2017, Volkswagen announced a complete fix for 2015 TDI models with the third-generation engine. This will involve installing a second NOx sensor and a new or replacement diesel-oxidation catalyst. About 70,000 cars are affected. It is unclear, at this point, if this fix is final or just an interim repair. There are three generations of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder, and all will require different fixes (from simple software updates to complete, and potentially performance-crippling, hardware retrofits).

–

By the end of 2017, we should know whether VW can start fixing cars with the first- and second-generation engines. Emissions modifications, if approved by the EPA and the California Air Resources Board (CARB), will be staggered in stages. For older, 2009–2014 TDI versions of the Golf, Jetta, Jetta SportWagen, Beetle, and Audi A3 models, VW has until January 27, 2017 to submit its proposal. The 2012–2014 Passat TDI is due by March 3, 2017.

–

For 3.0-liter Volkswagen and Audi TDI and Porsche diesel models:

–

There are two versions of the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6 that require different modifications. While the Generation 1 engines in the 2009–2012 Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg cannot be made fully compliant with EPA regulations, VW will attempt to make them partially compliant. The rest of the Generation 2 engines will be under a formal recall to make complete repairs, which most likely will be a software update. On those models, Audi said on November 23, 2015, that it would update the software and “resubmit” its emissions applications after the EPA found undocumented “auxiliary emission control devices” that were allowing excessive levels of NOx.

–

Don’t all automakers tailor their cars to ace the EPA test cycle? Why single out VW?

–

Automakers optimize powertrains for each second of the EPA’s dynamometer tests (Federal Test Procedure 75, the one VW’s computers detect, runs for 1370 seconds). They have to, because they’re required to self-certify every model on sale. The EPA verifies roughly 15 percent of those tests each year. In rare cases, automakers grossly overstate fuel economy (as Ford and Kia did) and can take advantage of loopholes in the certification process.

–

Yet these standardized tests, as flawed as they may be in comparison to real-world driving, are critical. Performed correctly, they’re at least an accurate method to assess legal compliance and provide a fair comparison for consumers. Right now, there’s no indication that automakers program their cars to run in a wildly different fashion on the road, even as the EPA and the German government attempt to prove otherwise. Volkswagen explicitly did, and that’s why it’s getting hammered.

–

What are selective catalytic reduction and urea injection?

–

Diesel fuel is carbon rich and close in composition to home heating oil. As such, it’s inherently dirty and sooty when burned. While heavy-duty diesel pickups, vans, trucks, and other commercial vehicles follow looser environmental standards, light-duty vehicles have it tough—and nowhere is it tougher to certify a diesel car or truck than in the U.S. In order to trap particulates and curb nitrogen oxide in practically all new diesel engines, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and urea injection must be used.

–

A three-way catalytic converter in gasoline vehicles treats exhaust gas by both oxidizing (adding oxygen to convert carbon monoxide and other hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water) and reducing (removing oxygen to convert nitrogen oxide to nitrogen and water). But diesel engines burn so lean that they require separate oxidation and reduction catalysts. After diesel exhaust passes through the oxidation catalyst and a particulate filter, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF, branded by VW as AdBlue) is injected into the stream before entering the reduction catalyst. DEF is a precise mixture of one-third urea and two-thirds deionized water and must be refilled (typically at manufacturer-recommended oil-change intervals) from a separate tank.

–

If this sounds complex and expensive, that’s because it is. And very likely, that’s why VW chose not to install SCR and urea injection on most of its TDI models.

–

What’s going to happen to Volkswagen?

–

On January 11, 2017, the U.S. Department of Justice announced $4.3 billion in criminal and civil penalties and arrested six VW executives for their alleged connection with the scandal. A “corporate compliance monitor” will be watching VW for three years under the terms of its probation. On April 21, 2017, VW was officially sentenced in a Michigan federal court for these violations.

–

On January 4, 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice first sued Volkswagen on behalf of the EPA. Volkswagen will now pay $14.7 billion to settle with three federal agencies suing the automaker for its excessive diesel emissions, the highest ever paid by a company for violations under the Clean Air Act. The Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Department of Justice announced the partial settlement on June 28, 2016. Aside from the $10 billion buyback program, another $2.7 billion will fund future state-level projects that reduce nitrogen-oxide emissions under the EPA’s Diesel Emissions Reduction Act, which are federal grants marked to replace old diesel engines and for retrofit kits for alternative-fuel powertrains and other similar vehicle hardware.

–

Volkswagen must buy back 85 percent of all cars by June 2019, or else it must pay even more to fund such projects. The automaker also must spend $2 billion over the next 10 years to invest in green energy and electric cars, including paying for new public charging stations and public-education programs.

–

Under the latest settlement with 3.0-liter diesels, Volkswagen will also be required to pay an additional $225 million toward projects that reduce NOx emissions. California will receive $41 million of that, and CARB wrote into the settlement some very specific requirements for the sale of electric vehicles.

–

A Canadian settlement, which keeps to terms that are comparable to the U.S. settlement finalized in October, will cover about 105,000 vehicles there and potentially cost the automaker the equivalent of U.S. $1.6 billion. As in the United States, Canadian owners will be eligible to sell their vehicle back at an agreed-upon price or opt to fix their vehicle and receive a payment. And under a tentative consumer settlement in Canada, Volkswagen and Audi Canada will pay out the equivalent of U.S. $11.2 million.

–

Additional civil penalties and further state-level fines have not been determined but could add billions more. Volkswagen had originally set aside more than $7 billion to cover recall-related costs.

–

Since news of the first violation broke on September 18, 2015, more than a quarter of the company’s market cap has been wiped out with its nosediving stock price through June 28, 2016, and the company has abandoned its goal of becoming the world’s largest automaker by 2018. Volkswagen is not even concerned with its U.S. sales numbers until this problem is resolved, according to chairman Herbert Diess. The company has posted consecutive U.S. monthly sales losses since November.

–

CEO Matthias Müller—who said the company didn’t lie but faces a “technical problem“—has now ordered a complete reorganization that will see 30 battery-electric vehicles introduced across its 12 divisions by 2025. It inevitably will lead to firings, model cuts across its 340 variants, and other corporate changes. So far, though, even seemingly frivolous divisions like Bugatti aren’t getting axed. Former CEO Martin Winterkorn, who resigned in September, reportedly received a memo regarding the diesel problem in May 2014. He has not confirmed whether he actually read it.

–

All right, I’d like some more free money. How can I sue?

–

There are already a couple hundred lawsuits alleging economic harm against VW’s now infamous “Clean Diesel” marketing campaign and the half-million cars under EPA violation. None have yet been consolidated before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. For the time being, Hagens-Berman, a huge firm that squeezed $1.1 billion from Toyota and intends to sue General Motors for $10 billion, has a class-action lawsuit ready and waiting.

–

What are TDI owners actually doing?

–

As Greenpeace and other environmental groups lambaste VW, the obligatory news articles profiling angry TDI drivers have popped up. Granted, there are some people genuinely upset with VW for misleading them about their car’s emissions levels. But as we see it, the majority of TDI buyers are knowledgeable enthusiasts in love with sky-high fuel economy, torque, durability, and low running costs. Some really frugal types convert their TDIs to run on refined vegetable oil or biodiesel. These people are die-hards.

–

If any fix Volkswagen proposes ends up hampering performance—be it increased fuel consumption or a loss of power—many TDI owners may very well ignore a recall. It’s a tricky legal situation, as neither the EPA nor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration can force individual owners to update their cars. Several bills in Congress have proposed banning registration renewals for car owners who don’t complete recalls, but they’re a long way from becoming law. For now, most TDI owners are continuing to putter about, despite a considerable drop in resale values. With more time, we’ll have a fuller picture.

This story was originally published on November 13, 2015; it is being constantly updated to reflect the latest developments in the VW diesel-emissions scandal.

He experiences difficulty articulating words that start with the letter B and pursued by a vowel. He needs to delay marginally to say them.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Personal Quotes (13)⤵

People think because I can make them laugh on the stage, I'll be able to make them laugh in person. That isn't the case at all. I am essentially a rather quiet, dull person who just happens to be a performer.

[commenting in 2004 on Britain's proposed Racial and Religious Hatred Bill] To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is freedom. The freedom to criticize ideas, any ideas - even if they are sincerely held beliefs - is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. A law which attempts to say you can criticize and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed.

Mr. Bean is essentially a child trapped in the body of a man. All cultures identify with children in a similar way, so he has this bizarre global outreach. And 10-year-old boys from different cultures have more in common than 30-year-olds. As we grow up, we acquire this sensibility that divides us.

I remember looking up Johnny English (2003) in a film guide and it said 'intermittently hilarious' - quite a good description of five good jokes and a lot of longueurs. I find it frustrating that, apart from Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), I have yet to be involved in a film of which I am totally proud.

The casual ease which some people move from finding something offensive to wishing to declare it criminal - and are then able to find factions within government to aid their ambitions - is truly depressing.

[on being overwhelmed by fans at a Toronto shopping mall] It's a bit disconcerting being treated like Madonna. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

[preparing to perform onstage the title role in Simon Gray's 'Quartermaine's Terms'] It's well known that tragedy and comedy are close bedfellows. It's rare, though, that you see them placed in such intimacy. Like most tragic figures, 'Quartermaine' is unaware of his own tragedy. What I love about him is his optimism. You don't tend to feel much sympathy for pessimistic people, but those who retain their optimism, despite the sadness of their lives, are interesting, engaging and sympathetic.

If I'm denied words, Mr. Bean's physicality and attitude to life are what I seem to acquire. In 1989, we put him on TV and no doubt the motivation was a belief that we had a character that could live in other markets and other countries. I was always envious of the fact that so many British musical artists in the late eighties, Phil Collins or David Bowie or Duran Duran or someone like that, assumed an international marketplace for their product, whereas British comedians don't. And I thought we have a tool here that will enable us to do that.

I've always required a formal setting, a stage or a film or TV studio in which to perform. And above all, I need to become somebody else. I'm certainly not a stand-up comedian in any sense.

I definitely do not have the wit of Blackadder. I definitely require scriptwriters to provide that. And I don't think I'm as dark or cynical as Blackadder is in his view of the world. Probably I'm somewhere in between but closer to Mr. Bean. You know, the nice bits of Mr. Bean, because Mr. Bean has a very vindictive and selfish and nasty side to him. I hope I don't have too much of that.

The more success you have, the more pressure you feel to make things to a good standard, for movies you make to make money and that sort of thing. One misses those days when you were 19 or 23 and you just did what made you laugh. What you and your friends thought was funny. And you did it, and if they laughed, great, and if they didn't, it didn't matter. As you get older you always think about everything so much, you're so concerned that what you do should be good and should be successful that it's the success you're pursuing rather than the fun of doing it, which is what's so great when you're younger... What's difficult for me on a movie is not playing Mr. Bean. The problem is the scripts. The problem is the shaping of the shots. The problem is editing. The problem is all those things.

All jokes about religion cause offense, so it's pointless apologizing for them. You should really only apologize for a bad joke.

As a lifelong beneficiary of the freedom to make jokes about religion, I do think that Boris Johnson's joke about wearers of the burka resembling letterboxes is a pretty good one.

Shocking / Interesting Facts & Secrets About Mr. Bean⤵

He was Tony Blair's classmate at Durham Choristers School.

He was a class clown during young days.

He owns fast cars such as Honda, Aston Martin, Audi, and MC Laren F1.

He is an Electrical Engineer and also finished his MSc in Electrical Engineering.

He also writes for British car magazines. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

First Drive: 2019 Audi A8 U.S. Spec

BIG SUR, California — Big luxury sedans are like power suits for CEOs: sartorial armor for the road. With a value system as codified as the Tom Fords and Brionis that upholster boardrooms, flagship four-doors pack peak concentrations of engineering and design, much of which will eventually trickle down to the H&M and Gap-grade models.

Riding high on 107 consecutive months of stateside sales growth, Ingolstadt has invested untold resources into making the 2019 Audi A8 the flagship-iest of flagships to date. The power play came early with the development of a mess of sensors, cameras, and the world’s first laser scanner to push it past the Level 3 autonomous finish line first. (A counter move has only recently been announced by Mercedes-Benz for its next generation S-Class.) Despite these efforts, U.S. lawmakers have yet to agree on a common standard—making the advanced hardware a moot point for now.

Despite emerging technology’s horse/cart conundrum, the A8 deploys an armada of advanced features in its newest form. The most distinct harbinger is its future-friendly interior. No fewer than 35 buttons have been eschewed in favor of flush, black panel displays within the cabin. Two touchscreens (10.1-in and 8.6-in) front and center and a next-gen, high-definition widescreen virtual cockpit display allow access to nearly every vehicular setting, save a physical volume/power knob and a few discreet controls like sliders that expose or recess the HVAC vents behind rotating sections of flush-fitting veneer.

Unlock the doors, and the 2019 A8’s exterior LEDs greet you with brief animated lightshow; inside, the welcome continues with several streaks of customizable tinted illumination. Between the multi-hue adjustability and a slew of other variables (among them cabin scent, massage, and climate control), some 700 settings can be memorized for a total of seven users—a plethora of personalization can be daunting. But fortunately (actually, annoyingly) there’s a bit of functionality, including adding a Bluetooth connection, that’s locked out while the vehicle is in motion.

Phooey.

At least the Audi A8 is pleasant in motion, thanks to its breezy drivetrain, a rather well-isolated chassis, and competent, bump-soaking suspension. Though laden with a trove of technological bells and whistles, the dynamic fundamentals are sound, if a bit understated, for the first variant to hit the U.S. market: a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 producing 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, mating to a ZF-sourced 8-speed. A 48-volt mild hybrid system that uses a 10Ah lithium-ion battery with energy recuperation has been integrated with the ’plant to support accessories and driver assistance systems.

Smoothness and silence predominate the driving experience, of which the A8’s nearly imperceptible styling is an excellent metaphor. While double-glazed glass aids the remarkably quiet interior, it’s worth noting that the overall focus lies more in creating a luxe but minimalist, spa-like environment than it does an agile, autobahn-storming screamer—at least in this V-6 version. While a subsequent S variant will invariably wield more oomph, the six-cylinder A8 has gained 250 pounds over its predecessor due to all the added equipment, bringing total curb weight to a hefty 4,751 lb. Ameliorating some of that mass is Audi’s optional dynamic four-wheel steering system ($1,950) which Audi says responds more quickly to inputs than its similar setup for the Q7.

Impressively, the system is the first to adjust the angle of the front wheels in addition to the rears in order to mitigate oversteer or understeer situations. On the tightly winding Nascimiento-Fergusson Road, the A8 managed to juke through the corners quickly, revealing only a reluctance to change directions under more extreme cornering speeds. At low speeds the turning circle drops below that of an A4. The system works quite well and ought to be standard; if we had our druthers, we’d also opt for summer rubber as the all-season 20-inch tires gave up some grip in favor of versatility.

The A8 passed slow-moving traffic along Highway 1 briskly enough during our day-long test drive; with a claimed 0 to 60 mph time of 5.6 seconds, this big boy can certainly get out of its own way. However, it doesn’t exactly feel potent; think, sensory deprivation tank, not guided missile. The cabin’s open pore wood, brushed aluminum, leather, and Alcantara surfaces interplay nicely with each other, creating an elegant space that—apart from the nearby digital displays—reflects some of the most tasteful uses of traditional textures and surfaces. An optional executive rear seat package ($7,550) adds a leather covered center console, folding tables, and a footrest, foot massaged-equipped “relaxation seat” that makes excellent use of the already spacious rear quarters (all U.S. cars will be extended wheelbase “L” models). Executive types will also crave the dual Audi tablet system that uses touchscreens for all sorts of LTE WiFi enabled distractions.

As for the A8’s multitude of multimedia screens, it’s safe to say the same folks who appreciate the deep pile of a proper Alcantara headliner might struggle to love the almost entirely digital interface. As setups go, Audi’s new MMI touch response system works quite well, with intuitive menu architecture and two screens that can be setup with haptic feedback and three levels of pressure sensitivity (or a purely touch-sensitive arrangement, a la a smartphone). But the issue is not so much the execution as it the loss of buttons and switches that maintain a feeling of connectedness to the car as an operational mechanical vehicle. The spread of purely digital interfaces is nothing new, and will only become more ubiquitous across luxury vehicles. And as they go, Audi’s works well, even offering the small aforementioned touch-sensitive strip that opens and shuts the HVAC vents, a pleasant override for the otherwise minimally finished dashboard panel. But the usage of a touchscreen also necessitates a bit of fingertip precision, especially in a moving vehicle, that is sometimes less than luxurious.

As appears to be an ongoing theme with Audi’s new A8, some of the most noteworthy features are yet to come, among them an advanced electromechanical suspension system that scans upcoming road surfaces and can push or lift individual wheels in order to create a smoother ride. (It’s set to debut sometime next year for the U.S. market.) Unlike Mercedes-Benz’s Magic Body Control system, Audi’s uses electrical, rather than slower hydraulic controls to move the wheel in two directions, as opposed to one with the Benz setup. A demonstration on a closed course revealed remarkable isolation over a speed bump at 30 mph, as well the ability to lift one side of the vehicle in order to anticipate an impeding side impact. It takes approximately a half second to lift the body and could make a measurable difference in the amount of injuries incurred during these types of accidents.

Nascent technology being what it is, one can’t help but feel that the 2019 Audi A8 is begging to be uncorked to its full Blade Runner potential. Since regulators can’t decide about Level 3 standards, we have to live with standard adaptive cruise control and a lane-keeping assist system that still allows the car to pinball against the lane’s edge. Even the A8’s active matrix headlamps have the hardware to enable advanced safety-minded lighting but are not fully activated because the technology has yet to be greenlit by the U.S. government.

Funnily enough, it was almost exactly a year ago that we drove the first production A8s of this generation, and we were rife with questions about which features might be usable by product launch. The future may be bright, but it still takes some patience to see it completely through.

2019 BMW 7-Series

New Post has been published on https://motortrendi.com/2019-bmw-7-series/

2019 BMW 7-Series

BMW tends to reveal its new models well prior to production actually begins. For instance, buyers can’t get the X2 until spring 2018, regardless of an unveiling in October 2017. Therefore, we may see the refreshed 7 Series have a debut this year, even if customers cannot get one until 2019.

2019 BMW 7-Series Features

The BMW 7-Series is expected to get no significant updates for the 2019 model year. Order guides suggest the most significant changes will relate to revised packaging of innovative security features. For 2019, BMW has decided to consolidate the Driving Assistance and Driving Assistance Plus choices from last year into a single Driving Assistance Plus Package. Formerly, features like frontal collision caution and adaptive cruise control with stop & go capability could be set up individually.

2019 BMW 7-Series Engine

Under the hood, specs for the 7-Series are mostly the same. The 740i comes with a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder TwinPower Turbo ranked at 320 hp with 330 lb-ft of torque. The 750i is geared up with a twin-turbo V8 producing 445 hp and 480 lb-ft. The M760 includes a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 producing 601 hp with 590 lb-ft.

When it comes to the 740e, the car gets a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder TwinPower Turbo mated to a plug-in hybrid system. The electric range for the 2019 model hasn’t been listed yet, however we believe it’ll remain in line with the existing car’s score of 14 miles on electrical power and an overall of 340 miles with the gas engine.

2019 BMW 7-Series Pricing & Release Date

The 2019 BMW 7-Series is due to start production in March. We currently expect an arrival date at dealerships of early summer. The car is readily available for pre-order now. Main pricing for the 740i begins at $84,645 consisting of location, while the 750i has been priced from $97,945. Opting for all-wheel drive includes $3,000 to either vehicle. The 740e will begin at $92,245, although the car is qualified for a federal tax credit of up to $4,668 for those who are qualified. The vehicle is not qualified for California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate.

At the top of the lineup, the M760i has actually been priced from $159,395, which includes both the location charge and a $1,700 gas drinker charge due to the car’s meager 16 mpg fuel economy ranking. Competitors include the Audi A8, Lexus LS 500 and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
