Acura 2019 RDX Review, Specs, News – Correctly where challengers, by way of example, the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class and Lexus NX utilize turbocharged 4-barrel engines, the Acura RDX continues to be by using a robust V6 joined to some easy-transferring programmed sometimes controlling the leading or each of the four tires.

La totalmente nueva Acura RDX 2019 hará su debut en público como el vehículo oficial y guía del equipo para Rally Cycling, el programa de ciclismo continental de mujeres y hombres más prestigiado de los Estados Unidos y lo hará durante toda la temporada 2018, comenzando con el Amgen Tour de California.

Ahora en su 7º año consecutivo como patrocinador de Rally Cycling, Acura también prestará al superdeportivo NSX como segundo vehículo de apoyo para acompañar a los ciclistas en cada etapa del Amgen Tour de California. Tanto la RDX como el NSX llevarán los colores de Rally Cycling (naranja y negro) y su logotipo, conforme acompañan al equipo de Rally Cycling a través del Amgen Tour de California, y mientras la RDX continúe dentro del tour a lo largo de la temporada 2018.

“Nos emociona continuar nuestra sociedad con Rally Cycling y mostrar la totalmente nueva RDX en la vía pública”, comentó Jon Ikeda, vicepresidente y director general de Acura. “La RDX 2019 es la versión más rápida y con mejor manejo hasta la fecha, lo cual la hace el vehículo perfecto para apoyar al equipo de Rally Cycling durante esta exigente temporada de carreras”.

Como el primero de una nueva generación de productos Acura, la rediseñada RDX 2019 ofrece un desempeño único en su clase, una cabina más lujosa y espaciosa, y una serie de tecnologías y características de punta. Diseñada, desarrollada y fabricada en los Estados Unidos, la nueva RDX turbocargada comenzará a llegar a los distribuidores Acura este verano como la RDX más rápida, de mejor manejo y más lujosa hasta la fecha.

El equipo masculino 2018 de Rally Cycling consiste de 16 ciclistas, y es dirigido por Jonas Carney, Patrick McCarty, Eric Wohlberg y Andy Bajadali. El equipo fue fundado en 2007 y pasó 11 temporadas dentro de la clasificación continental. En 2018, el equipo subió a la categoría Pro Continental y cuenta con un plan de crecimiento a largo plazo. Durante sus primeros años, el equipo dominó el circuito critérium, convirtiéndose en el primer equipo de novatos en ganar el título critérium de los Estados Unidos. Rally Cycling ha crecido hasta convertirse en un equipo de renombre intercontinental, capaz de llevarse cualquier podio en las carreras más prestigiosas del mundo.

El equipo femenino 2018 de Rally Cycling consiste de 13 ciclistas y es dirigido por el ex-olimpista Zach Bell. El equipo ha colocado a atletas en los podios más reconocidos del mundo, incluyendo los de Ronde Van Vlaanderen (2012) La Course (2014) y Gent Wevelgem (2015). El equipo ha ganado consistentemente circuitos callejeros, pruebas de velocidad, y campeonatos critérium en Canadá y Estados Unidos. Desde 2012, las mujeres han ganado 16 títulos nacionales en Norteamérica. En 2018, su joven alineación ha logrado ya grandes resultados en las principales carreras de Norteamérica, incluyendo triunfos en la carrera Joe Martin Stage Race y el Tour of the Gila.

Acura celebró hoy el comienzo de la producción en masa de la totalmente nueva Acura RDX 2019, el primero de una nueva generación de productos Acura construidos alrededor de su marca Precision Crafted Performance.

La SUV para cinco pasajeros de mayor venta de Acura ha sido totalmente rediseñada, y su producción es posible gracias a una nueva inversión de capital de $54 millones de dólares en nuevas tecnologías y procesos en la planta automotriz de East Liberty (ELP).

Las nuevas tecnologías con las que cuenta la planta de East Liberty incluyen un nuevo proceso de doblado con rodillos para el nuevo techo panorámico ultra-ancho de la RDX, el uso de adhesivos estructurales de alto desempeño para una mayor rigidez de la carrocería, y la aplicación de una espuma acústica en espray para una cabina más silenciosa – todas ellas características nuevas para un modelo de Acura de producción en masa. Además, un nuevo sistema de capas múltiples de pintura resalta la introducción de nuevas opciones de colores exteriores premium, exclusivos de Acura.

“Esta nueva RDX define el futuro de Acura, y nuestro equipo en Ohio hizo un trabajo increíble al preparar esta primera entrega de una nueva generación de vehículos Acura para nuestros clientes”, afirmó Jim Hefner, director de la planta automotriz de East Liberty. “En conjunto con un nuevo motor turbo de 2.0 litros fabricado en Ohio, una plataforma totalmente nueva y una serie de nuevas tecnologías, la RDX 2019 establece un nuevo referente términos de estilo, desempeño y sofisticación para una SUV compacta de lujo”.

La nueva RDX de Acura es impulsada por un motor VTEC® Turbo de 2.0 litros turbocargado y con inyección directa, el cual se fabrica en la planta de motores de Anna, Ohio. El motor está acoplado a una transmisión automática de 10 velocidades (10AT), primera en su tipo dentro del segmento, fabricada en la planta de transmisiones de la compañía en Tallapoosa, Georgia. Su potencia máxima es de 272 caballos de fuerza y par de 280 lb. por pie. La nueva 10AT y la tecnología de nueva generación Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive® (SH-AWD™) de Acura, hacen de esta la RDX más rápida y con mejor control que ha existido hasta la fecha.

La RDX de Acura será lanzada desde una posición sólida, como la SUV compacta de lujo de mayor venta en el segmento desde su lanzamiento en 2006, desde el cual ha logrado ventas acumuladas de más de 375 mil unidades (hasta el cierre de abril 2018), todas ellas fabricadas en Ohio. La RDX también viene de lograr su tercer año consecutivo con ventas de 50 mil o más unidades (2015-2017), un logro que ningún otro modelo del segmento puede presumir.

Además de ser fabricada en los EE.UU. durante los últimos 12 años y a lo largo de tres generaciones, el nuevo modelo 2019 es la primera RDX que fue diseñada y desarrollada en Estados Unidos. El diseño de estilo de la RDX fue conducido por Acura Design Studio en Los Ángeles, California, y su desarrollo fue liderado por el equipo de Investigación y Desarrollo de Norteamérica, ubicado en Raymond, Ohio. La RDX fue totalmente rediseñada sobre una plataforma nueva y exclusiva de Acura, mostrando la dirección del diseño de la nueva generación de Acura.

Cinco de los seis modelos de Acura son fabricados exclusivamente en la región central de Ohio1, incluyendo los sedanes deportivos de lujo ILX y TLX (planta automotriz de Marysville), las SUV de lujo RDX y MDX (planta automotriz de East Liberty) y el superdeportivo NSX, el cual es fabricado bajo pedido en el Performance Manufacturing Center, ubicado en Marysville, Ohio.

I’ve been wondering what car I’ll get next, when I wear this one out. It’s starting to get a bit cranky, although it’s been a super awesome car that I still adore (and I’ve got many more years to go with it). So I’ve been casually looking around, thinking that I might go with a different maker. Audi? Land Rover? Benz? (HAH! They are all so expensive). And I came to the conclusion that 11 years later, they still don’t make cars like mine...except for the newly redesigned 2019 RDX.

Looks like I might be upgrading the RDX to an RDX. I’m so boring.

Just please, Acura, please offer it in better colors than you usually do.

I drove a $60,000 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid to see if the fuel-efficient SUV can take on Audi, BMW, and Mercedes. Here’s the verdict., Defence Online

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid is a mid-size, three-row crossover SUV whose powertrain is related to the Acura NSX supercar.

Competition is intense in this segment, but Acura has a worthy entrant.

If you want an excellent luxury SUV that’s cheaper than a BMW or Audi, yet has great performance and lots of the tech, the Acura MDX Sport Hybrid is worth a look.

Visit Defence Online’s homepage for more stories.

We don’t lack for luxury car brands in this world. But the sheer magnitude of choice can be daunting. So if you’re having a tough time deciding whether it should be BMW or Audi, Mercedes or Lexus, Jaguar or Alfa Romeo, I’m here to help.

Consider Acura – I know I have. I’ve nearly bought an Acura a couple of times, and in the time I’ve been reviewing cars at Defence Online, I’ve driven many and enjoyed them all.

Acura, Honda’s luxury brand, debuted in 1986 and has been producing excellent vehicles ever since. The NSX supercar nabbed our Car of the Year award in 2016, and other Acuras have been finalists. As luxury brands go, Acura takes a lot of agita off the table. If you’re familiar with Honda, you know the company engineers superb cars that have a deserved reputation for reliability.

Acura adds a premium dimension to that, and has always pushed for technical innovation. That’s why I was excited to test the 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid, which has a nifty three-electric-motor drivetrain coupled with a bulletproof VS engine.

Read on to learn how it went down:

Here we have the 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid, in a fetching “Canyon Bronze Metallic” paint job. My tester was about $60,000, but the base MDX is $44,000.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The color is nice, but the overall design is pure crossover. Personally, I think the styling is more appealing than the Audi Q7.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The beaklike grille and the large Acura badge have been divisive, but overt time I have grown to kind of like them.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The Acura badge does double duty — it’s an “A” and also a caliper, with the latter stressing the Honda luxury brand’s passion for precision engineering.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

And precision engineered it is. This “Japanese” ride is assembled in Ohio — and assembled beautifully. The LED headlights really slice through the darkness.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The Acura MDX Sport Hybrid of course falls prey to the design weakness of all crossovers: the backend is dominated by a huge (powered) liftgate.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The integrated spoiler and dual chrome exhaust pipes take some unpleasantness away, however.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

And the tail lights are nicely coordinated with the overall rear design.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The Acura badge could even be called subtle.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Cargo capacity with the third row deployed is typical for the segment, at 15 cubic feet.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Drop the third row, and you more than double that, to about 40 cubic feet. Drop the second row and you’re looking at about 80 cubic feet.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The hybrid system is related to the powertrain in the Acura NSX supercar.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Let’s pop the hood and take a closer look.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The 3.0-liter V6 cranks out 290 horsepower, but the hybrid power plant’s three electric motors brings that to 321 hp. In real life, this crossover feels quite robust, and it can dash to 60 mph in less than six seconds. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission channels the power to the MDX’s all-wheel-driver system.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Let’s slip inside and sample the “Espresso” interior.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The seats are extremely comfortable without being overly smushy, and the moderate bolstering will hold folks in place if the driver opts for spirited motoring.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The front seats are heated and cooled, and the wood trim is downright gorgeous.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The rear captain’s seats are also comfy, and there’s a decent amount of legroom.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The third row is intended for short hops if adults are in the picture, or for smaller passengers if longer journeys are planned.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The interior can get a bit dark …

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

… so the moonroof is a welcome extra.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The rear seats are heated and have their own climate controls.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

I generally find Acuras to be optimized for driving in a way that’s challenged mainly by BMW. The leather-wrapped steering wheel and analog gauges are purposeful.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The offbeat, pushbutton gear-selector take some getting used to.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

We haven’t been huge fans of Acura’s two-screen infotainment system, but the additional screen does allow you to run the Acura system and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto at the same time.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Infotainment is controlled using a knob and buttons. The system has been updated — we sampled the new version in an RDX crossover — but for this test vehicle, we had to deal with the previous generation.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Even though it isn’t terribly user-friendly, it gets the job done. My test vehicle included Acura’s extraordinary ELS Studio premium audio system, which is among the best in the business.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Navigation worked superbly, and Bluetooth pairing was a breeze. There are also USB/Aux ports and numerous places in the vehicle to charge up. As you can see, there’s also a CD player!

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

If you like, you can tweak the system to display how power is being routed through the hybrid drivetrain.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

So why don’t we fire up this luxury hybrid, drive it around, and …

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

… Render a verdict!

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

It’s hard to argue with Acuras. My colleague Ben Zhang and I can certainly find things to pick on, such as the awkward two-screen infotainment system. But when we got down to the important stuff, the Acura MDX Sport Hybrid delivered a fantastic payoff. Some car companies simply build a fine automobile that checks off all the boxes.

Acura adds luxury to Honda’s already stupendous engineering and quality. It isn’t Mercedes-level luxury, but it’s about what you see in BMW and Audi. In my experience, Acura can’t quite match BMW for driving dynamics, and Audi offers some snazzier tech. But those brands cost more, and it’s not always clear it’s worth the extra scratch, given how well-executed Acuras are.

Driving the MDX Sport Hybrid ranges from relaxing to invigorating, depending on how you’ve managed the settings. Ben was particularly impressed with the buttery smooth power delivery, something we’d already experienced with the NSX supercar. I like the steering, which combined gentleness at low speeds with precision at higher velocities.

The MDX Sport Hybrid is brisk off the line, and in corners, it exhibits a refreshing lack of body away. It isn’t a sports car, but the “Sport” in the name isn’t a ruse. You can have some fun with it.

Otherwise, the vehicle is an ideal suburban family hauler that won’t make parents feel like minivan-piloting schlubs if they want to enjoy date-night at an establishment with a valet line. For an oomphy V6, the hybridized MDX drivetrain yields decent fuel economy numbers without sacrificing performance: 26 mpg city/27 highway/27 combined. And the MDX is crammed with driver-assist technologies and safety features, under the “AcuraWatch” banner.

The upshot here is that the 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid is well-priced, offers good fuel-economy, and won’t bore you behind the wheel. At $60,000 well-equipped, it’s a bit pricey, but you’re getting a lot of car for the money (and Acuras tend to hold up over the long term).

It’s the thinking person’s mid-size, three-row luxury crossover.

Acura regresa a la Semana del Automóvil de Monterey, uno de los principales puntos de encuentro a nivel mundial para los entusiastas de los automóviles, para el debut del Concepto Type S. Luego de su presentación como primicia mundial en una recepción privada de Acura el 15 de agosto, el Concepto Type S de Acura hizo su debut público en The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, para después ser exhibido en el histórico Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Concept Lawn.

Representa un paso fundamental hacia el regreso delPrecision Crafted Performance, que comenzó con el debut de NSX de segunda generación, el Concepto Type S prepara el camino para la reintroducción de las versiones de rendimiento Type S en la línea Acura después de la interrupción de una década y tendrá una marcada influencia en el carácter de la próxima segunda generación del TLX Type S.

El equipo de diseño de Acura se ha propuesto expresar la esencia Precision Crafted Performance, creando una silueta que es impactante y expresiva, pero a la vez pulcra y cohesiva. Basándose en la belleza y el estilo de Acura Precision Concept, la potente forma del Concepto Type S se caracteriza por una postura baja con un cofre que se extiende hacia adelante desde los pilares A.

“El regreso del Type S es fundamental en nuestra misión de hacer que Acura vuelva a sus raíces de rendimiento”, dijo Jon Ikeda, vicepresidente y director de la marca Acura. “Ya se trate de regresar con el NSX para ganar en el nivel más alto de las carreras de vehículos deportivos de América del Norte o de augurar una nueva generación a partir del RDX, estamos revitalizando a Acura sobre los cimientos de nuestros valores de marca originales y auténticos, pieza a pieza”.

Performance en su esencia

“Desde el debut del Precision Concept, hemos estado soñando con un nuevo vehículo concepto Acura enfocado al performance”, dijo Dave Marek, director creativo ejecutivo de Acura. “El Concepto Type S se refiere sin ambigüedades al rendimiento y a la esencia del diseño Acura”.

El Concepto Type S muestra nuevos elementos del diseño Acura incluso faros delanteros LED Jewel Eye® con cuatro luces de próxima generación, una parrilla pentagonal con diseño de diamante y luces diurnas y traseras “Chicane”, que en ambos casos se inspiran en el vehículo de carreras Acura ARX-05 Daytona Prototype.

Estilo refinado que se combina con emoción pura

A partir de su postura enérgica, la fascia frontal del Concepto Type S refleja tanto forma como función. Las grandes entradas de aire al centro y los lados son capaces de suministrar el flujo de aire requerido por un paquete de motor y freno de alto rendimiento, con detalles en la fascia que evolucionan a partir del NSX y de Acura Precision Concept. Las luces delanteras son acentuadas, literalmente, por LED “Chicane” blancos traslúcidos que cumplen una doble función como luces que funcionan durante el día y señales de giro.

La fascia frontal realiza una transición a un perfil lateral que comunica tanto fuerza como elegancia. Las superficies puras y los ángulos continuamente variables se equilibran mediante definidas líneas entrecruzadas que crean la impresión de que cada superficie cambia de forma según fluye desde la parte delantera hacia la trasera. Las superficies laterales puras gradualmente se abren hacia arriba en arcos de ruedas traseras, enfatizando la vía de rueda ancha del Concepto.

La parte posterior elegante y distintiva presenta un alerón ascendente con una línea central audazmente plegada (trazada desde el cofre) y un alerón integrado de carbono forjado. El aspecto se completa con las luces traseras LED “Chicane”, un gran difusor trasero y salidas de escape cromadas cuadradas.

El carbono forjado – creado mediante la unión de capas de carbono una sobre la otra para sobrepasar la fortaleza del carbono entrelazado tradicional – se aplica, además de al alerón trasero, a los divisores frontal y trasero, a los estribos laterales, y a las ruedas de 21 pulgadas con múltiples radios.

Una configuración “pareja” de neumáticos de la serie 285 garantiza altos niveles de agarre en las situaciones de conducción más dinámicas. Las cuatro esquinas cuentan con frenos de alto rendimiento Brembo™ con pinzas de cuatro pistones, que proporcionan una potencia de frenado más que suficiente y una apariencia agresiva.

La pintura “Double Apex Blue Pearl” personalizada para el Concepto refleja un tono líquido y eléctrico que rinde homenaje a los tradicionales modelos Type S azules, entre ellos el aclamado 2007-2008 TL Type S. “Double Apex Blue Pearl” emplea nanopigmentos y un recubrimiento transparente impregnado con color que transmite una sensación de fluidez y movimiento, al tiempo que resalta el brillo y el resplandor de la pintura.

El Concepto Type S de Acura fue concebido por Acura Design Studio en California, encabezado por el director creativo ejecutivo, Dave Marek, y el diseñador en jefe, Ben Davidson.

El legado de Acura Type S

Como un paso fundamental para cumplir la promesa Precision Crafted Performance, Acura llevará a cabo el debut de dos variantes de rendimiento del Type S en los próximos dos años, comenzando con el TLX Type S de segunda generación. Los modelos Type S proporcionarán una experiencia de conducción de alto rendimiento con aceleración más rápida, maniobrabilidad más ágil y performance más potente de frenos que los modelos Acura convencionales. Entre el 2001 y el 2008, cuatro modelos Type S establecieron el estándar para el Acura Performance en América del Norte:

2001-2003 Acura 3.2CL Type S:  Type S debutó con el Acura 3.2CL Type S 2001. El vehículo tenía un motor V6 de 3.2 litros con 260 caballos de fuerza (mejorado desde 225 hp), una trasmisión automática de 5 velocidades con una función de cambio manual, dirección más rápida, ruedas y neumáticos de 17 pulgadas y una suspensión con afinación deportiva. En su año modelo final, estaba disponible una transmisión manual de 6 velocidades.

2002-2003 Acura 3.2TL Type S: Haciendo su debut un año después del 3.2CL Type S, el 3.2TL Type S contaba con el mismo tipo de motor y transmisión con afinación hacia el rendimiento y similares mejoras en la suspensión, las ruedas y los neumáticos. A diferencia del 3.2CL Type S, el 3.2TL Type S no estaba disponible con una transmisión manual.

2002-2006 Acura RSX Type S: El RSX Type S se unió a la familia en 2002, propulsado por un nuevo motor de 4 cilindros i-VTEC® de 2.0 litros con 200 caballos de fuerza (mejorado desde 160 hp) conectado exclusivamente a una transmisión manual de 6 velocidades. En 2005, el RSX Type S recibió un aumento de potencia hasta 210 caballos de fuerza, junto con cambios de estilo que incluyeron un llamativo alerón trasero más grande.

2007-2008 Acura TL Type S: El Acura TL de tercera generación se reincorporó a la línea de vehículos Type S en 2007 y estaba propulsado por un motor V6 de 3.5 litros con una potencia de 286 caballos de fuerza (una mejora con respecto al V6 de 3.2 litros con 258 hp), una transmisión manual de 6 velocidades, frenos Brembo con 4 pistones, suspensión deportiva, mejores ruedas y neumáticos y un característico escape cuadrado.

Precision Crafted Performance: Renacimiento

Coincidiendo con su 30o aniversario en 2016, Acura trazó un nuevo curso para su futuro, retomando el enfoque a sus raíces originales y auténticas como una marca de lujo enfocada hacia el performance. El Acura NSX de segunda generación lanzado como la expresión suprema de Precision Crafted Performance dio inicio al enfoque de la marca hacia un futuro que priorizara, ante todo, el rendimiento.

En 2016, se sentaron las bases para un nuevo lenguaje de diseño con el debut del Acura Precision. Tomando su inspiración del NSX, el Precision Concept adoptó una postura de superauto y superficies puras y atractivas que apuntaban a un futuro más audaz y distintivo para el diseño Acura. El Concepto también mostró nuevas pistas claves del estilo de producción, incluso líneas más atrevidas y la nueva parrilla pentagonal con diseño de diamante distintiva de Acura, detalles que fueron adoptados rápidamente por toda la línea de producción, más recientemente por el sedán deportivo ILX 2019.

Acura también expandió su paquete deportivo A-Spec a todos sus modelos esenciales, atrayendo en el proceso a clientes más jóvenes. A principios de 2018, la marca anunció su intención de restablecer variantes de rendimiento Type S en su línea de vehículos, así como el desarrollo de un nuevo motor V6 con turbocargador exclusivo para Acura. El año pasado, Acura lanzó RDX 2019 como la primera SUV de una nueva generación de modelos Acura diseñados a partir de cero, en torno al Precision Crafted Performance. En su primer año, RDX de tercera generación se ha convertido en el modelo más vendido a nivel minorista en el mayor segmento de lujo y ha establecido múltiples récords consecutivos históricos de ventas mensuales.

La marca también ha disfrutado de un regreso extremadamente exitoso al automovilismo deportivo. Los equipos y pilotos de Acura que corren el NSX GT3 Evo y el ARX-05 Daytona Prototype actualmente lideran tanto el Campeonato de Fabricantes como el Campeonato de Pilotos en las clases GTD y DPi del IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship

Car shoppers reveal favorite auto brands of 2019

  Reliability, value, performance, style – these are just some of the qualities that can shape an auto brand and play into your next car-buying decision. And while you will have your own perceptions of brand ahead of a new purchase, the wisdom of 12,000 shoppers might also help.

Enter the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards. Including 13 winners across seven categories, they recognize the carmakers that generate most enthusiasm among new-vehicle shoppers who do their research at KBB.com. Take a look at their top brands for 2019, and the comments of Kelley Blue Book, below.

Best overall brand – Honda

The breadth of its lineup with impressive vehicles ranging from the efficient and affordable Fit up through its Pilot three-row SUV is evidence that Honda is committed to having a vehicle that’s suited for both first-time buyers and loyal owners looking for that next Honda to fit their current needs.  

Best overall luxury brand – Lexus

Setting the benchmark for luxury brands worldwide, Lexus worked hard to build a reputation that’s backed by the quality of its products and the care with which it serves its audience.   

Most trusted brand – Subaru

Consistency is the key to building trust and Subaru is, if anything, unchanging in its commitment to making high-quality vehicles that inspire confidence.   

Most trusted luxury brand – Lexus

Even as Lexus looks to edgier styling to attract a younger audience, it remains committed to building durable and reliable vehicles.  

Best value brand – Honda

Returning as the leading value brand for the fifth year running, Honda has the enviable position of offering cars and trucks that have a great reputation for durability, reliability and resale value.  

Best value luxury brand – Acura

Acura delivers high-tech luxury at affordable prices, whether it’s the compact ILX sedan or the flagship NSX, which delivers supercar performance, not to mention Acura’s RDX and MDX crossover SUVs.  

Most refined brand – Honda

With each succeeding generation of new vehicles, Honda continues to hone its refinement efforts, which contribute greatly to the perception that you are getting a vehicle that has the presence of one that’s a class higher.  

Most refined luxury brand – Mercedes-Benz

Refinement is one of those core values that defines vehicles wearing the three-pointed star.   

Best performance brand – Mazda

Mazda’s reputation as a performance brand isn’t just because the Mazda3 and Mazda6 are arguably the most fun-to-drive cars in their segments. You can also look at the Mazda CX-3, CX-5 and CX-9 SUVs, and realize they’re the most driver-centric in their competitive sets as well.   

Best luxury performance brand – Porsche

There are few brands that are as sharply focused on driving excitement and performance as Porsche. The lineup continues to expand, including sedans and SUVs, all of which offer the unique driving feel the company is known for.  

Best styling brand – Dodge

Dodge may be a first-time winner in this category, but its vehicles’ designs were inspired by decades of muscle-car legacy and attitude. Consider the muscular Challenger, a new take on the company’s classic 1970s model, which is offered in the same colors that were available back then. 

Best luxury styling brand – Porsche

The Porsche 911 has one of the most iconic shapes in the history of the automobile. You can see Porsche’s liquid curves taken even further in the 718 Boxster and Cayman, as well as in the Cayenne, Macan and Panamera.  

Best overall truck brand – Toyota

While full-size trucks are the prime battleground in the pickup market, the rising popularity of midsize models may be beginning to have an impact on the image of manufacturers … The Tundra has long been a credible entry, but the gold standard in the midsize market and resale value winner is the stalwart Tacoma.

2019 Chevrolet Blazer Interior Review: Bold Design Inside and Out

Camaro-style air vents dominate the new 2019 Chevrolet Blazer’s interior. It’s the first thing you’ll see when you step into the midsize two-row crossover’s cabin, and it instantly distinguishes the Blazer from every other crossover Chevrolet offers. There’s more to the interior than just big, circular air vents, however—keep reading to learn more about the new Chevrolet’s insides.

Camairo

The 2019 Blazer’s HVAC controls and air vents appear as though they were ripped from a Camaro. It’s a good look. Adjust the air temperature by turning the outside of the low-mounted central air vents left or right. One minor issue: Taller drivers may find that the tops of the HVAC buttons—such as inside-air circulation, the temperature readouts, and A/C controls—are slightly covered up by the protruding lip of the dash above.

This Could Be Good

Most Blazers will come with a cloud-connected infotainment system that can associate various settings to each key fob. So if your significant other has different audio and navigation presets and has logged into Chevy’s integrated Spotify application, all of that info—plus settings connected to collision detection systems and the auto heated/ventilated seats—are all associated with that key fob. And if you’ve got another new GM vehicle with the same tech, Chevrolet says you can log into that car’s system to apply your settings.

About that integrated Spotify system: If you set it up, your audio presets can be a mix of different types of audio, from a Spotify playlist to satellite and FM radio options.

Spacious for People…

The 2019 Blazer’s rear seats feel spacious, and the backs of the front seats are soft. The drivetrain tunnel barely intrudes on foot space, meaning the occasional middle-seat rear passenger will have a tad more room. The rear-seat backrest recline functionality is also appreciated. Instead of having the control on the top of the seat as in some crossovers, a giant lever near the outboard passengers’ thighs is more convenient. The seats also move forward and backward, though we’re curious how often owners will actually use this feature.

The Blazer loses people-space points when it comes to rear-seat headroom when the crossover is equipped with a panoramic sunroof. It won’t be a problem unless your rear-seat passengers are tall, but competitors surpass the Blazer in this respect.

…But Not as Much for Their Stuff

If you’d never seen the cargo space of other compact and midsize crossovers, you’d probably never realize that the 2019 Blazer’s cargo area underperforms in its segment. The flashy Chevy’s cargo measurements are actually within 1 cubic foot of the smaller Equinox’s figures.

Higher trims offer a cargo rail system that can separate your stuff, and the rail stores away under the cargo floor. While you’re down there, appreciate the two underfloor cargo compartments—I’ve found similar spaces on my long-term 2019 Acura RDX very useful.

Oooh, Look at That!

Mentioning a luxury crossover is more relevant than you might think, considering the Blazer’s pricing tops out over $51,000 with all-wheel drive, or more than a loaded RDX with similar equipment. Go all out on a 2019 Blazer—and no, we’re not including the crossover’s $395 illuminated bowtie option—and the Chevrolet is well equipped. Except for the lack of auto brake hold and head-up display options, the Blazer comes with everything else you’d want at that price. That includes enormous 21-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a surround-view camera system, heated and ventilated front seats, and active safety tech.

One of Chevrolet’s more expensive trims is Premier, which eschews the RS’ sportier appeal for a more luxurious appearance. The available beige seats look great, and the sueded microfiber trim will make some think, “This is a Chevy?” The piping on the dash and seats features an awesome red/white/blue detail that’s easy to miss. Once you see it, though, it’s the type of detail that will make an owner proud they splurged on the Premier model.

Seeing Red (and Black)

The other high-end trim is the Blazer RS. A quicker steering ratio makes the Blazer feel more maneuverable, but there are a bunch of aesthetic changes inside and out, too. The cabin gets a blacked-out look down to the the bowtie on the steering wheel, with lots of red stitching. A red “RS” trim piece on the gearshift stalk is a welcome touch, as is the red-colored air vent trim. In the future, we hope the RS will have slightly more aggressive front seats.

Shiny

Regardless of trim, the 2019 Blazer uses lots of shiny silver trim on the steering wheel and dash. Even if that’s your style, hopefully the trim won’t reflect light directly into a driver’s eyes when the sun hits it at just the right angle.

Take Your Time

The Blazer’s drive mode dial takes too long to adjust to a driver’s double twist from one mode to another. And on the front-drive model, having the regular drive mode between the low-traction and sport modes would be an improvement.

The Blazer will accommodate drivers who occasionally use engine braking, but the process can be cumbersome for those seeking a quick and strong response. First shift to L before using the gear up/down button on the side of the gear stalk.

So…

The interiors of the 2019 Blazer RS and Premier are full of character. Even the lower trims retain most of what makes the Chevrolet functional and some of what makes it feel special. The Chevrolet isn’t the best value in its class, and the Blazer’s interior isn’t perfect, but the higher trims especially deliver with elements of captivating design.
