أفضل السيارات للسائقين طويلي القامة

لا أحد يريد أن يشعر بالخوف من وراء عجلة القيادة ، وقد يكون العثور على السيارة المناسبة أمرًا صعبًا إذا كنت أطول من معظم الناس. العديد من السيارات الرياضية ومعظم سيارات المكشوفة غير واردة ، لكن هذا لا يعني أنه يجب عليك التمسك بأجهزة MPV المستندة إلى سيارات فان لتشعر بالراحة. سيارات الدفع الرباعي أكثر شعبية من أي وقت مضى وتوفر مساحة كبيرة ، في حين أن بعض العقارات والهاتشباك توفر الآن مساحة رأس كافية للركاب الأطول أيضًا. على الرغم من أن السيارات الحديثة عادة ما تكون واسعة بما يكفي لتوفير مساحة رأس كافية ، قد لا يكون وضع القيادة مريحًا للغاية إذا كنت طويل القامة. يستغرق بعض الوقت لمعرفة ما إذا كان المقعد وعجلة القيادة مضبوطين ليلائمك ؛ لن ترغب في الاحتفاظ بسيارة غير مريحة. تتمثل إحدى طرق زيادة المساحة الأمامية في تجنب فتحة السقف البانورامية. لا يقتصر الأمر على كونها غالية الثمن ، بل يمكنها أيضًا اقتحام مساحة رأس السيارة بشكل كبير. قد تعتقد أن السقف البانورامي سيزيد من مساحة السطح ، لكن المكونات الإضافية لجعل السقف تعمل على عكس ذلك . لا توفر جميع السيارات قياسًا للإرتفاع ، لذا قد يكون هناك بعض التجارب والخطأ عند اختيار سيارتك التالية. ومع ذلك ، فإن جميع السيارات المدرجة في هذه القائمة توفر شخصية تقاس من قاعدة المقعد إلى السقف. إليك بعض من أفضل السيارات التي يمكنك شراؤها إذا كنت طويل القامة (أو إذا كنت تحب ارتداء القبعات العليا):

أودي Q7 سيارة الدفع الرباعي

تعد Audi Q7 واحدة من أكثر سيارات الدفع الرباعي العادية شيوعًا للبيع ، ويخفي تصميمها البارد سيارة عملية للغاية. لا تحصل فقط على ثلاثة صفوف من المقاعد وصندوق ضخم عند طي المقاعد الخلفية ، ولكن يمكنك أن تطمئن إلى أنك وأي مسافرين طويلين سيكونون مرتاحين للغاية. في الجزء الأمامي ، هناك مساحة هائلة تبلغ 1،71 ملم ، ويعني الشكل Q7 في الصندوق أن الإرتفاع الخلفي مذهل أيضًا. يتمتع ركاب المقعد الخلفي بـارتفاع 1016 مم ، بالإضافة إلى مساحة كبيرة للأرجل. كما أن Q7 تثير الإعجاب من خلال تصميمها الداخلي الفاخر وركوبها المتقنة ، فبغض النظر عن تصميمك ، فسيكون مريحًا وباردًا ومتصلًا ، حتى في أطول الرحلات. في الواقع ، فإن التصميم الداخلي جيد جدًا وبنيت بشكل جيد ، بحيث يتم مشاركته جزئيًا مع لامبورغيني أوروس وبنتلي بينتايغا .

مرسيدس الفئة E العقارية

التالية في هذه القائمة هي سيارة مرسيدس الفئة E الكهفية الحقيقية ، مع ارتفاع ضخم يبلغ 1061 مم مماثلة لشاغلي المقاعد الأمامية. سيشعر الأشخاص الأطول بأنهم في منازلهم في الخلف أيضًا ، حيث يوجد 1005 مم من الارتفاع العلوي في صف المقاعد الثاني في Estate. الداخل جوهره ، ونقطة قوية حقيقية من الفئة- E ؛ هناك عدد قليل من السيارات ذات كابينة أفضل ، خاصة وأن الفئة E تشترك في العديد من الأجزاء مع الفئة S الفخمة. في حين أنها ليست الكلمة الأخيرة في إثارة القيادة ، فإن E-Class Estate تعوض عن ذلك لأنها مريحة للغاية. إذا لم تكن في حاجة إلى مساحة التمهيد الكبيرة التي يوفرها العقار ، فإن صالون الفئة E يعمل بشكل جيد أيضًا على مساحة الإرتفاع. يوجد ما يصل إلى 1051 مم في المقدمة و 971 مم في الخلف.

سيات ليون هاتشباك

سيات ليون هو إظهار أنك لا تحتاج إلى سيارة دفع رباعي أو عقار كبير للاستمتاع بالارتفاع  اللائق. على الرغم من كونها أحد سيارات hatchbacks الرياضية المعروضة ، إلا أن ليون لا يبخل على الإرتفاع - سواء كنت تجلس في المقدمة أو الخلف. تعتقد أن Q7 أعلاه ستوفر مساحة أكبر بكثير ، لكن ليون خلفه بـ 29 مم فقط في المقدمة ، بينما يمكن للمسافرين في المقاعد الخلفية الاستمتاع بـ 970 مم من ارتفاع الرأس الأمامي. تعد محركات ليون ، التي يتم مشاركتها مع سيارات VW Group الأخرى ، مثقبة بشكل مناسب ولكنها اقتصادية - حيث يمكن للبعض أن يغلق نصف أسطوانات المحرك عندما لا تكون الطاقة الكاملة مطلوبة. بالإضافة إلى ذلك ، جميع الإصدارات مجهزة تجهيزًا جيدًا - يتم تضمين النسخ المتطابق للهواتف الذكية وشاشة تعمل باللمس مقاس 8 بوصات والتحكم في السرعة والمساعدة الأمامية جميعها بشكل قياسي ، في حين أن جميع الزخارف المذكورة أعلاه تشتمل على أجهزة استشعار للتنقل عبر الأقمار الصناعية وأجهزة استشعار لوقوف السيارات الأمامية والخلفية ونوافذ ملونة. تقدم ملكية SEAT Leon ST شخصيات متطابقة تقريبًا.

سكودا كودياك

تعتبر Skoda Kodiaq واحدة من أفضل سيارات الدفع الرباعي التي يمكنك شراؤها. إنها تتسع لسبعة مقاعد مع مساحة كافية للبالغين في الصف الثالث من المقاعد ، على الرغم من أن الركاب الطويلين سوف يشعرون براحة أكبر في الصف الثاني الفسيح. على نحو غير معتاد ، هناك نفس المقدار تقريبًا من الارتفاع الأمامي في المقدمة (1020 مم) والصف الثاني (1،015 مم) ، لذلك سيكون لديك مساحة كبيرة في أي مكان تجلس فيه. تشعرك Kodiaq بالصلابة والبناء ، كما أن تصميمها الداخلي ، وإن لم يكن الأكثر فخامة ، فهو ذكي ومنطقي. هناك الكثير من المعدات القياسية ، وحتى Kodiaq تقود بشكل جيد - أفضل بكثير مما كنت تتوقع من سيارات الدفع الرباعي ذات السبعة مقاعد. إذا كنت قد تساءلت عن السبب في أن Kodiaq هو مشهد مشهور على طرق المملكة المتحدة ، فهذه هي بعض الأسباب المهمة.

بي ام دبليو 1 سلسلة هاتشباك

تعد الفئة الأولى الحالية من BMW الفئة الأكثر اتساعًا على الإطلاق ، مما يجعلها واحدة من أفضل سيارات هاتشباك للسائقين الطويلين. يوجد ارتفاع أمامي هائل يبلغ 1019 مم في المقدمة - أقل من ملليمتر من Kodiaq - و 972 ملم في الخلف ، على الرغم من خط السقف المنحدر قليلاً. سلسلة 1 هي سيارة للسائقين الحريصين. إنها واحدة من أفضل أنواع هاتشباك التي يمكنك شراؤها. إنها أيضًا الوحيدة التي تتمتع بالعجلات الخلفية ، على الرغم من أن هذا سيتغير عندما يصل الجيل الجديد في نهاية عام 2019. سيكون الأشخاص الأطول سعيدين في المقدمة ؛ على الرغم من وجود الكثير من المساحة العلوية في ��لخلف ، إلا أن مساحة الأرجل موصلة قليلاً حيث يجلس اثنان من البالغين خلف بعضهما البعض. إنه أمر جيد بالنسبة للرحلات القصيرة ، ولكن قد يطلب ركاب المقاعد الخلفية الخروج وتمديد أرجلهم في رحلات أطول.

فولكس واجن بولو هاتشباك

توضح Volkswagen Polo أنك لا تحتاج بالضرورة إلى سيارة كبيرة إذا كنت أطول من المتوسط. إنها تتطابق مع الفئة الأولى من سيارات BMW من أجل توفير مساحة أمامية أمامية ، وتقدم أقل بمقدار 8 مم فقط في الخلف. بولو هاتشباك معقولة للغاية ، و تشعرك بالراحة في السرعة والداخل الفاخر إلى حد ما. إنها فتحة صغيرة ذات جودة بناء مماثلة للسيارات الأغلى ثمناً ، وتتميز بالكثير من المعدات بشكل قياسي. تم تجهيز شاشة تعمل باللمس مقاس 8 بوصات وراديو DAB وتكييف هواء عبر المجموعة ، لذلك لا يوجد لاعب غني عن لعبة بولو دون الضروريات. تتم إضافة ماسحات السيارات وأجهزة استشعار وقوف السيارات والتحكم في مناخ المنطقة المزدوجة في الطرز عالية المواصفات ، ويمكنك حتى اختيار لوحة معلومات رقمية من قائمة الخيارات. لا يوفر المقعد الخلفي مساحة كبيرة فحسب ، بل يوجد أيضًا صندوق كبير لملء الفراغ.

أودي A5 Sportback هاتشباك

في حين أن العديد من السيارات في هذه القائمة لها شكل يشبه الصندوق ، فإن Audi A5 Sportback كوبيه ذات الأبواب الأربعة بها الكثير من الإرتفاع أيضًا. يمكن لأولئك الذين في المقدمة الاستمتاع بمساحة تصل إلى 1001 مم بين قاعدة المقعد والسقف ، بينما لا يزال لدى ركاب المقاعد الخلفية مساحة كبيرة - 940 مم ، بدقة. يعد A5 Sportback خيارًا رائعًا إذا كنت تريد شيئًا ما يمكن أن يكون أكثر أناقة من صالون رجال الأعمال التقليديين ، وهو ينافس كل شيء بدءًا من Kia Stinger إلى BMW الفئة الرابعة Gran Coupe و Tesla Model S. الفرامل وأحدث اتصال الهاتف الذكي ، وإذا كنت لا تستخدم المقاعد الخلفية في كثير من الأحيان ، يمكنك أيضا النظر في كوبيه A5. تقدم الكوبيه ذات الأبواب الثلاثة 990 مم في المقدمة ، على الرغم من أن مساحة رأسها الخلفية أقل اتساعًا بشكل ملحوظ.

فورد مونديو هاتشباك

لقد كانت فورد مونديو ، التي كانت ذات مرة عنصرًا رئيسيًا في عالم الصالونات العائلية ، قد تم التغاضي عنها إلى حد ما في العامين الماضيين حيث يتدفق المشترون على سيارات الدفع الرباعي وسيوفرون صالونات تنفيذية بدلاً من ذلك. ومع ذلك ، لا يزال خيارًا رائعًا ، حيث إن Mondeo مجهز جيدًا وأسعار معقولة وواسعة جدًا. يوجد أقل من متر واحد من المساحة الأمامية في المقدمة و 965 مم في الجزء الخلفي من صالون مونديو. على الرغم من عدم توفر أحدث التصميمات الداخلية المتوفرة ، إلا أن Ford ما زال يقدم أحدث التقنيات ، بما في ذلك Apple CarPlay و Android Auto والتعرف على إشارات المرور والمساعدة في الحفاظ على الممرات وإضاءة LED الديناميكية. يوجد وكلاء فورد في كل مدينة ومدينة تقريبًا ، والخدمة بأسعار معقولة وقد تكون قادرًا على التفاوض على خصم رائع. يوفر Ford Mondeo Estate مساحة أكبر ، وهناك أيضًا طراز هجين.

Skoda Superb Estate

ترقب Skoda Superb Estate إلى اسمها - في الواقع ، قمنا بتصنيفها على أنها أفضل العقارات التي يمكنك شراؤها الآن. من الجيد قيادة السيارة ، وهي مبنية بشكل جيد وسليم ، وتأتي مع بعض الميزات الرائعة مثل المظلات الموجودة في الأبواب الأمامية. يتميز فندق Superb بتصميم داخلي جميل للغاية ، كما أن Skoda تقلل بشكل كبير السيارات ذات الحجم المماثل - فهي تبدأ من أقل من 25000 جنيه إسترليني. لهذا ، ستحصل على صندوق داخلي ضخم ومساحة كبيرة في الداخل ، مع مساحة رأسية تبلغ 995 مم في المقدمة و 1001 مم في المقاعد الخلفية. تماما مثل Kodiaq أعلاه ، الداخلية ذكية وبديهية ولكنها ليست فاخرة للغاية. ومع ذلك ، يمكنك الحصول على مجموعة رائعة من الميزات ، بما في ذلك مجموعة أدوات رقمية واتصال WiFi ومستشعرات وقوف السيارات الشاملة واتصال هاتف Smart Link.

هوندا جاز هاتشباك

هوندا جاز هي السيارة الوحيدة في هذه القائمة دون قياسات رسمية في الإرتفاع ، لكننا نتوقع أن يكون لديك مساحة كبيرة لتمتد ، بغض النظر عن بنيتك. يبلغ الارتفاع الكلي للسيارة 1،550 مم ، وهو أكثر بكثير من VW Polo's 1،461mm. نتيجة لذلك ، فإن مساحة الإرتفاع هائلة بشكل مناسب - وتمتد موسيقى الجاز على تعريف نوع السوبر ميني إلى حد ما. تعتبر المساحة الخلفية للأرجل مفاجأة سارة ، نظرًا لوجود مساحة كبيرة تقريبًا في المقاعد الخلفية مثل سيارة مرسيدس S-Class. لن يواجه الركاب الطويلون مشكلة في الراحة ، ولا يزال هناك صندوق كبير خلف المقاعد الخلفية. أحدث موسيقى الجاز مصممة بذكاء للغاية ، وينبغي أن تكون الخيار الأفضل لأولئك الذين يريدون مساحة على الميزانية.   Read the full article

Android Auto: qué es y todos los modelos de coches compatibles

Android Auto: qué es y todos los modelos de coches compatibles

Hasta hace unos años, los coches no eran compatibles con nuestros teléfonos más allá de parcas conexiones mediante dispositivos manos libres de terceros a través de Bluetooth. Con el tiempo, llegaron soluciones como Android Auto o Apple CarPlay, con el objetivo de integrar nuestros móviles dentro del propio vehículo, con interfaces personalizadas que nos permiten controlar varios de sus apartados.

En concreto, Android Auto se encuentra disponible para más de 400 modelos de coches, por lo que procede comentar cuáles son dichos modelos compatibles, así como todo lo que conviene saber sobre Android Auto.

Qué es Android Auto

Android Auto es la solución de Google para integrar nuestro dispositivo Android con nuestro vehículo compatible. Lleva funcionando desde el año 2014, y cuenta con una interfaz bastante simple e intuitiva, que se combina con acciones de voz que minimizan el contacto físico del conductor con el propio panel del vehículo.

Esta solución nos proporciona información sobre las notificaciones que recibimos, permite utilizar Google Maps, reproducir nuestra música, y responder mensajes mediante nuestra voz. El principal objetivo es el de poder interactuar con nuestro teléfono sin necesidad de tocarlo, minimizando las distracciones al volante.

Android Auto puede utilizarse desde el propio teléfono mediante su aplicación, aunque para sacarle el máximo partido es recomendable conectarlo al vehículo

Para utilizar Android Auto es necesario un vehículo o dispositivo compatible (Alpine, Pioneer o Sony tienen radios compatibles), así como disponer de un dispositivo Android con la versión 5.0 Lollipop y superiores. Teniendo dicha compatibilidad en el vehículo, tan solo hace falta descargar la aplicación de Android Auto y empezar a utilizarlo.

A la hora de realizar la conexión, podemos hacerlo de forma inalámbrica o mediante un cable USB que conecte tu móvil al coche. Android Auto funciona tanto en la interfaz de nuestro móvil, así como adaptándose al panel de nuestro coche.

Coches compatibles con Android Auto

Actualmente Android Auto es compatible con más de 400 vehículos. Algunas firmas como Acura (Honda), Holden, Buick o Holden no se comercializan de forma oficial en España, pero te dejamos con el listado completo de vehículos, marca por marca, ya que si tu dispositivo es compatible y se importa alguno de estos vehículos, Android Auto seguirá funcionando.

Comparativo: Volvo XC60, Discovery Sport e o elo perdido com a Ford

Os dois SUVs têm preço na casa dos R$ 260.000Fernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Vendo as linhas de produtos de Land Rover e Volvo e a transformação das duas marcas na última década, é até difícil acreditar que já pertenceram à mesma empresa.

As duas, ao lado de Aston Martin, Jaguar, Lincoln e da falecida Mercury, formavam o Premier Automotive Group, divisão das marcas de luxo comandadas pela Ford.

A Land Rover foi comprada da BMW em 2000 e vendida em 2008 à Tata Motors, da Índia, junto com a Jaguar – que havia sido incorporada em 1989.

Já a operação de automóveis da Volvo, comprada em 1999, só foi vendida em 2010 à fabricante Geely naquela que foi a maior aquisição de empresa estrangeira por uma chinesa na história até aquele momento.

As grandes lanternas de led do XC60 se destacam; Régua traseira e rodas pretas são exclusivas do Discovery Sport R-DynamicFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Faz tempo, mas a efetiva independência técnica das duas marcas é recente.

Os novos Land Rover Discovery Sport e Volvo XC60 ajudam a ilustrar o caminho das duas fabricantes, mas sem evitar agora o natural enfrentamento entre os dois SUVs médios de luxo.

O Discovery explora melhor as texturas e o visual dos materiais de acabamentoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O próprio Discovery Sport ocupa desde 2014 o posto que, nos tempos da Ford, era do Freelander. A linha 2020 marca a chegada de sua reestilização de meia-vida, com novos faróis full-led, para-choque frontal com tomadas de ar verticais e lanternas traseiras de led com elementos horizontais que ajudaram a dar ar de novidade ao modelo.

A versão R-Dynamic é a única com costuras vermelhas nos bancos e no painelFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

No interior, há uma série de boas mudanças. É o caso do quadro de instrumentos digital com tela de 12,3 polegadas personalizável e da nova central InControl Touch Pro com tela de 10,25 polegadas, posicionada abaixo das saídas de ar centrais, que passa, enfim, a permitir ao dono de um Discovery Sport usar Android Auto ou Apple CarPlay, em vez de ficar dependente da integração da interface com aplicativos específicos.

<span class="hidden">–</span>Fernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Em nossa avaliação, contudo, o sistema apresentou travamentos e ficou mudo algumas vezes.

Volante e console central ganharam botões sensíveis ao toque e outros com funções duplas. É possível ajustar o volume do som deslizando os dedos ou pressionando o botão. Já o comando de temperatura do lado do motorista também controla a velocidade da ventilação.

O espaço na terceira fila do Discovery é bastante reduzidoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

E o do carona se transforma no seletor do modo de funcionamento do sistema de tração 4×4 Terrain Response 2 ao toque de um botão ao lado.

Continua após a publicidade

A nova central InControl tem funções mais usáveisFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O seletor giratório do câmbio lembrava o do Ford Fusion, mas a versão que saltava do console ao ligar o carro e estreou no Evoque foi trocada por uma alavanca do tipo joystick, que sempre retorna ao centro e aciona automaticamente o freio de estacionamento.

omando do ar-condicionado vira seletor dos modos de atuação da traçãoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Enquanto o Land Rover é montado no Brasil, em Itatiaia (RJ), o Volvo XC60 chega importado diretamente da China. E o toque oriental otimizou bastante a linha da marca.

O XC60 Momentum tem rodas aro 20 diamantadasFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Se a primeira geração do SUV era tão Ford que compartilhava a plataforma EUCD com o Mondeo e com o Land Rover Freelander 2, esta segunda é baseada na arquitetura modular SPA, criada sob a gestão da Geely, e já presente em todos os modelos da marca, exceto no XC40, que usa sua própria base compacta.

O XC60 Momentum exibe um visual mais discreto, mas ainda nobreFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

A SPA não só universaliza os parâmetros de segurança e os equipamentos como também uma família de motores 2.0 de quatro cilindros, com opções a diesel e gasolina criadas com a mesma arquitetura, o câmbio automático de oito marchas e a tração integral. Mas falaremos melhor deles adiante.

Continua após a publicidade

Se os bancos dianteiros têm maior amplitude no Volvo, a direção nãoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Por dentro, o XC60 Momentum não é tão requintado quanto o rival Discovery Sport, que usa couro de toque mais delicado e materiais mais macios no painel e nas portas, com direito a partes com costuras vermelhas na faixa central do painel e entre as peças que imitam algo como fibra de carbono.

Apoio de cabeça central fica camuflado no encostoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O SUV de ascendência sueca é mais comedido nos detalhes. Não abre mão de materiais de toque macio ou do couro, mas não há tantos detalhes vistosos, além da faixa de alumínio escovado no painel.

Posições diferentes

Por outro lado, o compartilhamento de arquitetura trouxe para o XC60 sistemas em comum com o irmão maior XC90.

A central Sensus é rápida e intuitiva e também controla o ar-condicionadoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

É o caso do quadro de instrumentos digital de 12,3 polegadas e da central multimídia Sensus Connect, com tela de 9 polegadas vertical e interface bastante rápida e intuitiva, e que também é compatível com Android Auto e CarPlay.

Continua após a publicidade

Mas o mais importante é a presença do pacote IntelliSafe de série desde essa versão de entrada tabelada em R$ 260.950 com motor a gasolina.

Só o Volvo conta com seletor de modos de conduçãoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Ele integra a leitura das placas de sinalização da via e o piloto automático adaptativo com funções semiautônomas, como correção da direção para manter o carro bem no centro da faixa de rolagem, tráfego cruzado e frenagem autônoma de emergência com visão noturna. Além dos airbags frontais, laterais e de cortina, tem um para pedestre em caso de atropelamento.

No caso do Discovery Sport SE R-Dynamic, versão topo de linha que custa R$ 266.985 com motor a gasolina, a oferta de sistemas tecnológicos é mais contida.

Tem frenagem de emergência, assistente de permanência em faixa e monitor de tráfego cruzado, mas piloto automático adaptativo nem sequer é opcional. Assistente de baliza, porém, é de série.

Continua após a publicidade

Porta-malas do XC60 tem 505 litros de capacidadeFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O motorista não tem do que se queixar nos dois carros. Mas cada um conta com posição de dirigir completamente diferente. O XC60 dispõe de maior amplitude de ajuste de altura para o assento e permite sentar mais próximo do assoalho.

O ajuste é elétrico, mas só há memórias para o motorista, enquanto no rival o carona também tem. Por outro lado, se a posição de dirigir é bem mais elevada, a amplitude dos ajustes de altura e profundidade da direção do Land Rover é maior.

Motor 2.0 de 254 cv tão competente quanto eficienteFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Os dois SUVs têm espaço equivalente no banco traseiro, bom para ombros, cabeça e pernas de três pessoas, a despeito do túnel central um pouco mais elevado no Volvo.

O sueco vem com duas portas USB escondidas dentro do apoio de braço dianteiro e uma tomada 12 V para os ocupantes do banco de trás, com saídas de ar traseiras logo acima.

Continua após a publicidade

No rival de origem inglesa, porém, há duas USBs no apoio de braço e mais duas traseiras, além da tomada 12 V. Já as saídas de ar de trás ficam na coluna das portas.

Não parece à primeira vista, mas o Discovery Sport é menor que o XC60Fernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O Discovery ainda tem a terceira fileira de bancos (com direito a saídas de ar independentes, frise-se), mas apenas crianças conseguem acessar e se acomodar confortavelmente ali.

Correr a segunda fila para a frente limita o espaço para pernas e não resolve a vida de um adulto, que só vai concordar em viajar ali em último caso. Por outro lado, os dois assentos extras se escondem no assoalho do porta-malas e não roubam espaço de carga.

Dupla dinâmica

A Land Rover se modernizou sem abandonar sua relação intrínseca com o off-road. Além do seletor dos modos de funcionamento da tração, o Discovery lida melhor com a buraqueira, mas nem tanto com a rolagem da carroceria.

Continua após a publicidade

Já o XC60 demonstra acerto voltado para o prazer de dirigir: é mais apoiado e tem reações mais neutras em sequências de curvas, oferecendo em troca um rodar mais firme.

Sua direção não é tão rápida quanto a do Land Rover, mas é possível alternar seu peso, que também pode estar vinculado aos modos de condução – outro item que não existe no rival –, que atuam na resposta do pedal de acelerador e do câmbio.

Terceira fila de bancos fica escondida no assoalho do porta-malas de 454 litrosFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Por sinal, a mecânica dos dois é muito parecida, mas os resultados obtidos pelos veículos são completamente diferentes.

O Discovery Sport usou o motor 2.0 Ecoboost de 240 cv fornecido pela Ford – mesmo do Fusion – até o final de 2018. Foi quanto a Land Rover estreou a família de motores modulares Ingenium, com versões de três, quatro e seis cilindros e variantes a diesel e gasolina.

Continua após a publicidade

No caso da versão SE R-Dynamic testada, o 2.0 turbo é flex e gera 249 cv e 37,2 kgfm de torque, com etanol ou gasolina, e está casado com câmbio automático de nove marchas.

Em nossa pista de testes, precisou de 9,4 s para levar os 1.864 kg aos 100 km/h. O consumo de ciclo urbano com gasolina ficou em 6,6 km/l e em 10 km/l no rodoviário.

2.0 Ingenium tem 249 cvFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O Volvo XC60 confia seus 1.863 kg ao 2.0 a gasolina de 254 cv e 35,7 kgfm combinado com o câmbio automático de oito marchas, que, juntos, fazem o que parece ser mágica: alcança os 100 km/h em 7,6 s, quase 2 s mais rápido que o Land Rover.

Números de consumo são consideravelmente melhores, com 8,7 km/l em ciclo urbano e 12,4 km/l no rodoviário. Também vale comparar os números de retomada e frenagem nas fichas ao lado, sempre melhores no Volvo.

De tão diferentes, nem parece que no passado os dois poderiam ser considerados irmãos.

Ford 13.února poprvé představil nový Mustang Mach-E evropskému publiku. Zároveň oznámil nový program „Go Electric“, který pomůže evropským zákazníkům s informovaným přechodem k elektrické budoucnosti.

Mustang Mach-E s čistě elektrickým pohonem stojí v čele rychle se rozšiřující nabídky elektrifikovaných vozů Ford. Na konci roku 2021 si evropští zákazníci značky budou moci vybírat z osmnácti elektrifikovaných modelů.

Společnost slíbila, že všechny nově uváděné modely nabídne i v elektrifikované variantě, a odhaduje, že jen elektrifikované varianty nejprodávanějších modelů Fiesta, Focus a Kuga by mohly zákazníkům ušetřit více než třicet milionů eur (v přepočtu přibližně 754 mil. Kč) ročně.

Elektrické a plug-in hybridní vozy Ford se budou moci spolehnout na propracovaný ekosystém Ford Charging Solutions, který zákazníkům přinese bezproblémový a integrovaný přístup k nabíjení doma i po celé Evropě. Dnes Ford oznámil, že v příštích třech letech vybuduje ve svých areálech po Evropě 1 000 nabíjecích stanic, aby usnadnil nabíjení zaměstnancům. Prezident Ford of Europe Stuart Rowley zároveň vyzval úřady, firmy a instituce ke společné podpoře elektrifikace a k rychlejšímu rozvoji veřejné nabíjecí infrastruktury.

„Ford přináší skutečnou změnu. Jsme odhodlání zajistit všem našim zákazníkům nejširší výběr elektrifikovaných vozů,“ říká Rowley. „K tomu, aby veřejnost elektromobilitu přijala, je kriticky důležitá infrastruktura, sami ji však vybudovat nemůžeme. Urychlení investic ze strany všech zúčastněných subjektů v Evropě i ve Spojeném království je důležitější než kdy dříve.“

Mustang Mach-E naladěný pro Evropu

Do vývoje elektrického SUV Ford Mustang Mach-E byly od počátku zapojeny také technické týmy evropského Fordu. Podvozek, řízení, elektronický stabilizační systém i pohon všech kol disponují pro Evropu specifickým naladěním, zohledňujícím profily zdejších silnic i řidičské zvyklosti.

Mustang Mach-E ve variantě s prodlouženým dojezdem a pohonem zadních kol nabídne podle předběžných údajů dojezd až 600 km podle homologačního cyklu WLTP3. Vůz je koncipovaný tak, aby zbavil veřejnost obav z nedostatečného dojezdu a umožnil nekomplikované cestování na dlouhé vzdálenosti. Pro variantu s prodlouženým dojezdem se rozhodlo 85 procent zákazníků, kteří si Mustang Mach-E předobjednali.

Při nabíjení výkonem až 150 kW na stanici IONITY získá Mustang Mach-E za pouhých 10 minut energii postačující k ujetí vzdálenosti 93 km.

Zabudovaný modem FordPass Connect se postará nejen o permanentní online připojení, ale také o průběžné zdokonalování Mustangu Mach-E. Zabezpečené aktualizace na dálku mohou zlepšit výkony vozu i funkce SYNC. Nová generace tohoto komunikačního a zábavního systému si díky strojovému učení rychle osvojí preference řidiče. Ovládat ji lze hlasem i prostřednictvím dotykové obrazovky o úhlopříčce 15,5“. Systém podporuje Apple CarPlay, Android Auto a AppLink, navíc i v bezdrátovém režimu.

„Tohle je Mustang pro novou generaci – a první, který si zákazníci mohou objednat, nakonfigurovat a zařídit jeho převzetí kompletně online,“ informuje Roelant de Waard, viceprezident Ford of Europe pro marketing, prodej a služby.

Různá řešení pro různé zákazníky

Každý model nově uváděný na evropské trhy plánuje Ford nabízet i v elektrifikované variantě. Využívá hned několik variant elektrifikace, aby uspokojil rozdílné potřeby zákazníků.

Například 48V mild-hybridní technologie nového Fordu Puma snižuje emise CO2 a spotřebu paliva, ale současně zlepšuje odezvu hnacího řetězce na pokyny řidiče. Mondeo Hybrid využívá full-hybridní řešení, které zejména v městském provozu s častým zastavováním umožňuje jízdu pouze na elektrický pohon. Stejnou schopností, ale v širším rozsahu provozních situací, disponuje Transit Custom Plug-in Hybrid, u nějž spalovací motor slouží k prodloužení dojezdu po vyčerpání energie z baterie, již lze nabíjet i z vnějšího zdroje. Mustang Mach-E pak využívá čistě elektrický pohon.

Ford očekává, že již ke konci roku 2022 budou elektrifikované varianty tvořit nadpoloviční většinu celkového prodejního objemu značky v Evropě. Tou dobou by už měl po evropských silnících jezdit milion elektrifikovaných vozů s modrým oválem ve znaku.

Ford zároveň intenzivně rozvíjí integrovanou nabíjecí infrastrukturu. Ve svých závodech buduje 1 000 nabíjecích míst a je zakládajícím členem konsorcia IONITY, jehož cílem je mít ke konci letošního roku v Evropě 400 rychlonabíjecích stanic. Zákazníci Fordu budou moci na stanicích IONITY nabíjet za zvýhodněnou sazbu.

Ve spolupráci se společností NewMotion získají zákazníci prostřednictvím aplikace FordPass přístup k největší a nejrychleji rostoucí síti nabíjecích stanic v Evropě. Aktuálně pokrývá 21 zemí a tvoří ji více než 125 000 nabíjecích míst. Zákazníci, kteří si rezervují Mustang Mach-E v průběhu roku 2020, obdrží bezplatně roční předplatné služeb FordPass.5 Ford nabídne zákazníkům rovněž výkonné nástěnné nabíječky, které umožňují nabíjet elektromobil či plug-in hybrid doma až pětkrát rychleji než z běžné zásuvky.

Roadshow „Go Electric“

Program Go Electric s první zastávkou u slavného mramorového oblouku v Londýně by měl během šestiměsíčního turné po Spojeném království oslovit na čtyři miliony zákazníků. Poté přicházejí na řadu Norsko, Švýcarsko, Německo, Francie a Nizozemsko. Cílem této roadshow je demystifikovat elektrifikaci a přesvědčit o jejích přednostech zákazníky, kteří se v jednotlivých typech elektrifikovaných pohonů ještě dokonale neorientují.

Podle nedávného průzkumu, vypracovaného na objednávku Fordu, aspirují na vlastnictví elektrifikovaného vozu někdy v budoucnu tři lidé ze čtyř. Čtyřicet procent respondentů však uvádí, že o elektrických automobilech vědí jen málo nebo vůbec nic. Téměř polovina (49 procent) dotazovaných považuje za největší problém nedostatek nabíjecích stanic.

„Ford vždy usiloval o demokratizaci automobilů i technických řešení. Nyní je naším záměrem udělat totéž pro elektrifikaci. Vzhledem k tomu, že ke konci roku 2021 budeme mít na evropském trhu osmnáct nových elektrifikovaných modelů, dokážeme nabídnout každému zákazníkovi elektrifikovaný vůz dle jeho rozpočtu a potřeb,“ dodává Rowley. „Naše panevropská roadshow pomůže odstranit převažující mýty o elektrifikovaných automobilech a umožní zákazníkům vybrat si správně.“

New to the Used Market: Jaguar E-Pace

It is telling of just how dominant SUVs have become that even Jaguar, a company renowned for its saloons and sports cars, predicts its best selling model will soon be a family-sized crossover that shares its core underpinnings with a Land Rover.

That car is the E-Pace, which stormed into the new car market at the beginning of 2018 as a rival to the Volvo XC40, BMW X1 and Audi Q3. In other words it’s a premium-badged crossover designed to capitalise on the market’s insatiable appetite for SUVs of all sizes. As a side note, while most E-Paces are four-wheel drive, it is also available in front-wheel-drive form, making it the first Jaguar to be offered as such since the Ford Mondeo-based X-type of 2001.

As you’d expect of a modern Jaguar, the E-Pace is a striking piece of design, different enough from the company’s larger F-Pace SUV to have its own visual identity, but still a Jaguar through and through. The same goes for the interior layout, which borrows a fair few themes from the F-Type sports car – and to good effect. Admittedly, Audi isn’t going to be losing any sleep for fear Jaguar has eclipsed it for interior quality, but the E-Pace is still a very pleasant place to cover miles, as well as packed with practical storage spaces.

What’s more, if you’ve ever been tempted by the company’s XE saloon only to find the interior too cramped then the E-Pace won’t disappoint. This is a much roomier car, with loads of space for a couple of child seats or tall passengers in the back, and a boot that pretty much matches the XC40’s in terms of capacity if not useful features.

UNDER THE BONNET Regardless of what E-Pace takes your fancy, it’ll be powered by a 2.0-litre engine from Jaguar Land Rover’s ‘Ingenium’ family. This could be diesel or petrol and have a power output ranging from 148bhp to 297bhp, while gearbox options are a six-speed manual or an automatic with no fewer than nine gears.

Jaguar’s latest diesel unit is a smooth performer, and even in entry-level 148bhp guise pulls keenly enough to make the E-Pace feel brisk if not outright fast. On the petrol front meanwhile the 247bhp P250 can get from 0-62mph in 7 seconds, while in the 297bhp P300 the same sprint takes just 6.4 seconds.

It requires only a short time behind the wheel to appreciate that Jaguar has set the E-Pace up to be a much sportier drive than most other SUVs too. The steering is sharp and weighty, the body stays flat when you corner and the whole car positively spears into corners. To make this possible in such a tall vehicle has necessitated equipping the E-Pace with fairly firm suspension, but if want a compact SUV that thinks it’s a sports car and can live with the busy ride then this is the one to have.

EQUIPMENT The core E-Pace range is divided into standard, R-Dynamic, and (for the first year of production) First Edition trim levels. You’ll find examples of all three for sale on CarGurus, with the gadget count improving the higher you go.

It’s also worth being aware that Jaguar offers specification packs branded as S, SE and HSE. Depending which you choose, these add extras such as larger alloy wheels, leather seats, a powered boot lid and keyless entry to the already generous equipment list. 

Connectivity is generally very good, with all cars featuring a 10-inch Touch Pro central touchscreen through which you can access many of your smartphone’s features by using Jaguar’s own app. Just be aware that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not supported.

BUYING A USED E-PACE While there is an undeniable thrill to specifying a new car to your precise your requirements, it is equally true to say that waiting months for it to turn up can be a touch frustrating. Buy a used car and the opposite is true, with the potential for not finding the exact combination of features you’re after tempered by the instant gratification of being able to drive it off the forecourt as soon as the paperwork is complete. Plus you’ll save a little bit of money in the process (it really is a little bit at present however, so in demand is the E-Pace).

Being such a new entrant to the used car market you’ll struggle to find an E-Pace with more than 10,000 miles on the clock, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t already a few from which to choose of both petrol and diesel varieties. All should of course still qualify for their original manufacturer warranty too, which means that if the car develops a fault within the first three years of its life a Jaguar dealer will fix it free of charge.

I keep in mind when Ford unveiled the second-generation Combination (or fourth-generation Mondeo for those throughout the Atlantic) for the 2013 style year - it was drop-dead gorgeous.

��j Ford EcoSport: tovább javított minőség, kényelem, fejlettebb technológia

Az új, sokoldalúbb és kifinomultabb stílusú Ford EcoSport kompakt SUV most még modernebb technológiákat kínál az európai vásárlók számára.

Az új Ford EcoSport kínálatában most szerepel első ízben a terepen és közúton egyaránt jobb tapadást kínáló Ford Intelligens Összkerékhajtás, amely az új, modern 1.5 literes EcoBlue dízelmotorral, 125 lóerős teljesítménnyel és optimális CO₂-kibocsátással* lesz elérhető.

Ugyancsak először rendelhető meg a Ford Performance autói által ihletett, sportos EcoSport ST-Line modellváltozat, és az új EcoSport vásárlói olyan vezetősegítő technológiákra számíthatnak, mint a SYNC 3 kapcsolódási rendszer, az Állítható Sebességhatárolóval kiegészített Sebességtartó Automatika és a Tolatókamera.

A dinamikusabb, keményebb kisugárzású, mégis kifinomultabb külsővel megjelenő új modell 12 látványos fényezéssel, és minden eddiginél több, a személyre szabhatóságot biztosító opcióval rendelhető meg; ez utóbbiak közé tartozik a kontrasztos árnyalatúra festett tető, tetőoszlop, felső ajtókeret, hátsó tetőlégterelő és külső tükörburkolat. A felhasználó-központú, frissebb hatású kabin komfortját ‘lebegő hatású’ 8 colos érintőképernyő és fűthető kormánykerék fokozza, nem beszélve az intelligens tárolási megoldásokról, amelyek közt a több szinten rögzíthető csomagtérpadló is szerepel.

“A modell 2014-es bemutatása óta a Ford 166.000 darab EcoSport kompakt SUV-t értékesített Európában, és az autó eladásai tavaly 40 százalékkal nőttek” – mondta el Steven Armstrong, a Ford Motor Company csoportszintű alelnöke és az Európáért, a Közel-Keletért és Afrikáért felelős elnöke. „Az új Ford EcoSport még karakteresebb stílust, még több kényelmet, sokoldalúságot és választási lehetőséget kínál a vásárlóknak – s mindezt egy SUV funkcionalitásával és egy városi kisautó praktikumával ötvözi.”

Az új Ford EcoSportot a romániai Krajova üzemben készül, amit 200 millió eurós befektetéssel készítettek fel a legmodernebb gyártási folyamatokra; az autó most jelenik meg az európai piacokon, kiegészítve a márka Ford Edge és a Ford Kuga modellekből álló SUV-kínálatát. Az év későbbi szakaszában várható még a SUV-hangulatú Fiesta Active crossover bemutatása is, aminek forgalmazása jövőre kezdődik Európában.

Európában az SUV-szegmens növekszik a leggyorsabban. A forgalomba helyezett SUV-k száma egyetlen év leforgása alatt 21 százalékkal nőtt. Magyarországon idén ez a szám még magasabb, 38 százalék. 2016-ban már ezek a típusok tették ki Európában a teljes személyautó-értékesítés több mint egynegyedét. Itthon tavaly az SUV szegmens piacrésze 29 százalék, míg az idén már 33 százalék az össz személyautó piacon. Tavaly a Ford több mint 30 százalékkal növelte SUV-eladásait az európai piacon.

Erős és takarékos

A 2018 közepétől megrendelhető Ford Intelligens Összkerékhajtásnak köszönhetően az új EcoSport még jobb vezetési élményt kínál. A technológiát a vadonatúj 1,5 literes Ford EcoBlue dízelmotor és egy hatfokozatú manuális sebességváltó egészíti ki; az erőforrás teljesítménye 125 lóerő, forgatónyomatéka pedig 300 Nm.

A Ford Intelligens Összkerékhajtása észrevétlenül osztja meg a forgatónyomatékot a négy kerék között, automatikusan javítva az autó úttartását és tapadását a csúszós utakon. A rendszer 20 ezredmásodperc alatt – vagyis az emberi szempillantásnál hússzor gyorsabban – képes egészen 50/50 arányig megváltoztatni a forgatónyomaték elosztását az első és a hátsó kerekek között.

A Ford vadonatúj 1,5 literes EcoBlue dízelmotorját arra tervezték, hogy csekélyebb CO₂-emisszió mellett is magasabb teljesítményt adjon le. A kifinomult négyhengeres blokkban innovatív technológiák működnek:

Alacsony nyomású kipufogógáz-visszavezetés víz-levegő töltésű hűtőrendszerrel a hatékonyabb égésért és a csekélyebb károsanyag-kibocsátásért

Integrált szívórendszer a motor optimális levegőellátásához

Magas hőmérsékleti tartományokra tervezett rakétahajtóművek anyagából készített, kis tehetetlenségű turbótöltő a gyorsabb és kontrolláltabb turbó-reakciókért

Gyorsabb, csendesebb és precízebb üzemanyag-ellátást biztosító nagy nyomású üzemanyag-befecskendezési rendszer

2018 közepétől jelenik meg a modell kínálatában egy 125 lóerős 1,5 literes EcoBlue dízelből és egy vadonatúj, kis belső súrlódású, hatfokozatú manuális sebességváltóból összeállított elsőkerékhajtású hajtáslánc, ami még csekélyebb CO₂-kibocsátást és üzemanyag-fogyasztást biztosít. Az új EcoSport bemutatásakor ez az elsőkerékhajtású kombináció még a Ford 100 lóerős, 1,5 literes TDCi motorjával lesz megrendelhető, amelynek üzemanyag-fogyasztása 4,1 l/100 km, CO₂-kibocsátása pedig 107 g/km.

Ugyancsak szerepel a kínálatban a Ford többszörösen díjnyertes 1,0 literes EcoBoost benzinmotorjának 140 és 125 lóerős változata is 5,2 l/100 km üzemanyag-fogyasztással és 119 g/km CO₂-kibocsátással. A palettán 2018 közepén jelenik meg a 100 lóerős 1,0 literes EcoBoost blokk, amihez hatfokozatú manuális sebességváltó csatlakozik.

A 125 lóerős 1.0 EcoBoost verzióhoz egy hatfokozatú automata is választható lesz, amellyel a vezető kényelmesen, a kormányoszlopra szerelt váltófülekkel is kapcsolhatja a sebességfokozatokat. E változat üzemanyag-fogyasztása 5,8 l/100 km, CO₂-kibocsátása pedig 134 g/km lesz.

Az új EcoSport rugózását és irányíthatóságát kifejezetten az európai vásárlók elvárásaihoz igazították a mérnökök, optimalizálva a rugók, a lengéscsillapítók, a kormánymű, a hátsó csatolt lengőkar és az Elektronikus Stabilitásprogram beállításait és a kormányrásegítés mértékét.

Kemény, mégis kifinomult stílus

Az új Ford EcoSport külső megjelenését a merész és dinamikus SUV-stílus jellemzi, így méltó párja a közepes méretű Kugának és a nagyméretű Edge-nek.

A középen domborúra formált motorháztető letisztultabbá varázsolja az autó orr-részének összhatását; annál is inkább, mert a fűtött ablakmosó-fúvókák a gépháztető alatt rejtőznek. Az EcoSport első részét az új, nagyméretű, trapéz alakú hűtőrács és a látványosan megdöntött fényszórók uralják; ez utóbbiak gázkisüléses technológiával működnek, és a stílusos LED nappali menetfényt is magukban foglalják. A ködfényszórók döntött foglalatának formájához a hátizsákok hevedere adta az ötletet, ami szintén egyértelmű dizájn-utalás az autó kalandkedvelő hangulatára.

A formatervezők az EcoSport hátsó lökhárítóját és hátsó világítását is átalakították, hogy letisztultabb és harmonikusabb látványt teremtsenek. A vásárlók 12 mutatós fényezés közül választhatnak, köztük a Lightning Blue és Ruby Red színeket, illetve egy élénk narancssárga Tiger Eye árnyalatot; ráadásul az új, kontrasztos tetőfényezésekkel még inkább saját egyéniségükhöz alakíthatják az autó megjelenését.

Az EcoSport különleges karakterét hatásosan hangsúlyozzák ki az új 17 és 18 colos könnyűfém keréktárcsák, amelyek sokféle felülettel (Magnetic Low Gloss, Shadow Silver, Flash Grey és High Gloss Black) választhatók. Az autó képe még egyedibbé varázsolható a különleges, csomagtérajtóra szerelt pótkerék-opcióval.

Könnyebben használható kezelőszerveivel és lágy tapintású anyagaival az utastér a kifinomultság új szintjét kínálja, ráadásul az ergonomikus kialakítású középkonzolon is kevesebb gomb található. Az új tervezésű ülések mind az első, mind a hátsó sorban kényelmesebbek lettek, és az opcionális részleges bőrkárpitozás minőségibb benyomást kelt. Az állítható kabinvilágítás segítségével az utasok pillanatnyi hangulatukhoz igazíthatják az utastér fényeit; ehhez hétféle szín közül választhatnak.

Az utastér intelligens tárolási megoldásokat kínál, köztük az állítható magasságú raktérpadlót, amit magasabbra emelve növelhető a rejtett rakodórekesz mérete, lejjebb engedve pedig nagyobb – 334 literes – csomagtér alakítható ki. A különleges, acélnál is szilárdabb méhsejt-szerkezetű csomagtérpadló több mint 300 kilogrammal terhelhető. Az első ülések közti konzol tetején felnyitható és csúsztatható kartámasz található; a konzol ideális helyet kínál a tableteknek vagy a rágcsálnivalóknak, a CD-tartó pedig új helyre, a kesztyűtartó fölé került.

Az új EcoSport kínálatában először jelenik meg a sportos EcoSport ST-Line kivitel, csatlakozva az Edge ST-Line, Fiesta ST-Line, Focus ST-Line, Kuga ST-Line, Mondeo ST-Line és S-MAX ST-Line modellváltozatok sorához. A merész kiállású verzió sportos menetdinamikájáról erős és takarékos EcoBoost benzin- és TDCi dízelmotorok gondoskodnak.

Az EcoSport ST-Line látványos elemei a Ford Performance izomautóinak formavilágát idéző lökhárítók és oldalsó légterelő szoknyák, a feketére fényezett tetősínek és fényszórókeretek, a 17 colos Dark Tarnish könnyűfém keréktárcsák, az ST-Line emblémák, az eltérő színű tető és külső tükörházak; mindez az autó alapfelszereltségéhez tartozik. Az utastérből sem hiányozhatnak az ST-Line megoldások: a bőrborítású és alul lapított karimájú kormánykerék, a vörös ültésekkel varrott, környezetbarát reciklált poliészterből készült Miko®-Dinamica betétekkel díszített részleges bőrkárpitozás, a bőrborítású kézifékkar és váltógomb, az ST-Line emblémával díszített küszöbdíszlécek, valamint a rozsdamentes acélból készített sportpedálok.

Kifinomult vezetősegítő technológia

Az új Ford EcoSport erősségei közé tartozik a magas, SUV-stílusú üléshelyzet és az élvezetes Ford-menetdinamika, ám még ezek az előnyök is tovább fokozhatók a fejlett technológiák segítségével.

A Ford kifinomult SYNC 3 kommunikációs és fedélzeti szórakoztató rendszere kompatibilis az Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ rendszerekkel. A SYNC 3 az EcoSport ‘lebegő kialakítású’ 8 colos érintőképernyőjéről vezérelhető, amit a felhasználók a kétujjas csippentés és a végigsimításos mozdulatokkal is kezelhetnek. A SYNC 3 rendszer 6,5 colos színes érintőképernyővel is megrendelhető, és a kínálatban egy 4,2 colos színes kijelző is szerepel Bluetooth-kompatibilitással és két USB-bemenettel.

A zenehallgatás élményét egy új B&O PLAY hangrendszer emeli új szintre; a tíz hangszórót (köztük egy csomagtérben elhelyezett mélynyomót és egy műszerfalba épített középhang-sugárzót) kifejezetten az EcoSport utasteréhez kalibrálták, és a legmodernebb digitális jelerősítővel kötötték össze a precíz kiegyenlítés és hangkeverés, valamint a surround hanghatás érdekében.

Az EcoSport kínálatában most először jelenik meg a sebességkorlátozások betartását segítő Állítható Sebességhatárolóval kiegészített Sebességtartó Automatika, valamint a magabiztos és biztonságos parkolást biztosító Tolatókamera is.

Az automatikus fényszórók és az esőérzékelő ablaktörlők sok terhet levesznek az autós válláról, aki így jobban összpontosíthat a forgalomra, miközben élvezi a fűtött kormánykerék és az Elektronikus Automatikus Hőmérsékletszabályozás kényelmét. A vezetés kényelmét olyan megoldások is növelik, mint az új, 4,2 colos digitális műszeregység, amelyen könnyen áttekinthetők a legfontosabb információk, vagy a motorosan behajtható külső visszapillantók, amelyek fűthetők is, így az autós hamarabb indulhat útnak a fagyos reggeleken.

A vezetősegítő technológiák kínálatában megtalálható még a Holttérfigyelő is, ami jelzi, ha egy autó jelenik meg a Ford holtterében, valamint az alapfelszereltséghez tartozó Borulásvédelem, ami a motor forgatónyomatékának szabályozásával segít, hogy a vezető mindig megőrizze uralmát a jármű fölött.

Az utasvédelem elemei közt fontos megemlíteni a vezető- és utasoldali első légzsákokat, a vezetőoldali térdlégzsákot, az új oldallégzsákot, ami extra védelmet biztosít a mellkasnak, és különleges tervezésével elmozdítja az utasok testét a behatástól, valamint az új függönylégzsákot, ami maximális oldalirányú védelmet biztosít. Az EcoSport védelme is minden eddiginél hatásosabb lett: az alapfelszereltségnek a riasztórendszer is része.

“Még jobb minőség, fejlettebb technológia és még sokoldalúbb szolgáltatások; az új EcoSportot minden szempontból a kompakt SUV-vásárlók legújabb elvárásaihoz formáltuk” – jelentette ki Szamosi Viktor, a Ford Magyarország ügyvezető igazgatója, majd így folytatta: “Az autósok minden eddiginél több SUV-t vásároltak idén, és várakozásain szerint az SUV szegmens jövőre tovább növekszik. Ezért is vagyunk büszkék arra, hogy ebben a szegmensben a prémium Edge és az idén nagyon sikeresen bevezetett megújult Kuga mellé jövőre egy ízig vérig európai kompakt SUV-t vezetünk be B szegmensbe.”

Comparativo: Volvo XC60, Discovery Sport e o elo perdido com a Ford

Os dois SUVs têm preço na casa dos R$ 260.000Fernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Vendo as linhas de produtos de Land Rover e Volvo e a transformação das duas marcas na última década, é até difícil acreditar que já pertenceram à mesma empresa.

As duas, ao lado de Aston Martin, Jaguar, Lincoln e da falecida Mercury, formavam o Premier Automotive Group, divisão das marcas de luxo comandadas pela Ford.

A Land Rover foi comprada da BMW em 2000 e vendida em 2008 à Tata Motors, da Índia, junto com a Jaguar – que havia sido incorporada em 1989.

Continua após a publicidade

Já a operação de automóveis da Volvo, comprada em 1999, só foi vendida em 2010 à fabricante Geely naquela que foi a maior aquisição de empresa estrangeira por uma chinesa na história até aquele momento.

As grandes lanternas de led do XC60 se destacam; Régua traseira e rodas pretas são exclusivas do Discovery Sport R-DynamicFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Faz tempo, mas a efetiva independência técnica das duas marcas é recente.

Os novos Land Rover Discovery Sport e Volvo XC60 ajudam a ilustrar o caminho das duas fabricantes, mas sem evitar agora o natural enfrentamento entre os dois SUVs médios de luxo.

O Discovery explora melhor as texturas e o visual dos materiais de acabamentoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O próprio Discovery Sport ocupa desde 2014 o posto que, nos tempos da Ford, era do Freelander. A linha 2020 marca a chegada de sua reestilização de meia-vida, com novos faróis full-led, para-choque frontal com tomadas de ar verticais e lanternas traseiras de led com elementos horizontais que ajudaram a dar ar de novidade ao modelo.

Continua após a publicidade

A versão R-Dynamic é a única com costuras vermelhas nos bancos e no painelFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

No interior, há uma série de boas mudanças. É o caso do quadro de instrumentos digital com tela de 12,3 polegadas personalizável e da nova central InControl Touch Pro com tela de 10,25 polegadas, posicionada abaixo das saídas de ar centrais, que passa, enfim, a permitir ao dono de um Discovery Sport usar Android Auto ou Apple CarPlay, em vez de ficar dependente da integração da interface com aplicativos específicos.

<span class="hidden">–</span>Fernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Em nossa avaliação, contudo, o sistema apresentou travamentos e ficou mudo algumas vezes.

Volante e console central ganharam botões sensíveis ao toque e outros com funções duplas. É possível ajustar o volume do som deslizando os dedos ou pressionando o botão. Já o comando de temperatura do lado do motorista também controla a velocidade da ventilação.

O espaço na terceira fila do Discovery é bastante reduzidoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

E o do carona se transforma no seletor do modo de funcionamento do sistema de tração 4×4 Terrain Response 2 ao toque de um botão ao lado.

Continua após a publicidade

A nova central InControl tem funções mais usáveisFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O seletor giratório do câmbio lembrava o do Ford Fusion, mas a versão que saltava do console ao ligar o carro e estreou no Evoque foi trocada por uma alavanca do tipo joystick, que sempre retorna ao centro e aciona automaticamente o freio de estacionamento.

omando do ar-condicionado vira seletor dos modos de atuação da traçãoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Enquanto o Land Rover é montado no Brasil, em Itatiaia (RJ), o Volvo XC60 chega importado diretamente da China. E o toque oriental otimizou bastante a linha da marca.

O XC60 Momentum tem rodas aro 20 diamantadasFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Se a primeira geração do SUV era tão Ford que compartilhava a plataforma EUCD com o Mondeo e com o Land Rover Freelander 2, esta segunda é baseada na arquitetura modular SPA, criada sob a gestão da Geely, e já presente em todos os modelos da marca, exceto no XC40, que usa sua própria base compacta.

O XC60 Momentum exibe um visual mais discreto, mas ainda nobreFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

A SPA não só universaliza os parâmetros de segurança e os equipamentos como também uma família de motores 2.0 de quatro cilindros, com opções a diesel e gasolina criadas com a mesma arquitetura, o câmbio automático de oito marchas e a tração integral. Mas falaremos melhor deles adiante.

Continua após a publicidade

Se os bancos dianteiros têm maior amplitude no Volvo, a direção nãoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Por dentro, o XC60 Momentum não é tão requintado quanto o rival Discovery Sport, que usa couro de toque mais delicado e materiais mais macios no painel e nas portas, com direito a partes com costuras vermelhas na faixa central do painel e entre as peças que imitam algo como fibra de carbono.

Apoio de cabeça central fica camuflado no encostoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O SUV de ascendência sueca é mais comedido nos detalhes. Não abre mão de materiais de toque macio ou do couro, mas não há tantos detalhes vistosos, além da faixa de alumínio escovado no painel.

Posições diferentes

Por outro lado, o compartilhamento de arquitetura trouxe para o XC60 sistemas em comum com o irmão maior XC90.

A central Sensus é rápida e intuitiva e também controla o ar-condicionadoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

É o caso do quadro de instrumentos digital de 12,3 polegadas e da central multimídia Sensus Connect, com tela de 9 polegadas vertical e interface bastante rápida e intuitiva, e que também é compatível com Android Auto e CarPlay.

Continua após a publicidade

Mas o mais importante é a presença do pacote IntelliSafe de série desde essa versão de entrada tabelada em R$ 260.950 com motor a gasolina.

Só o Volvo conta com seletor de modos de conduçãoFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Ele integra a leitura das placas de sinalização da via e o piloto automático adaptativo com funções semiautônomas, como correção da direção para manter o carro bem no centro da faixa de rolagem, tráfego cruzado e frenagem autônoma de emergência com visão noturna. Além dos airbags frontais, laterais e de cortina, tem um para pedestre em caso de atropelamento.

No caso do Discovery Sport SE R-Dynamic, versão topo de linha que custa R$ 266.985 com motor a gasolina, a oferta de sistemas tecnológicos é mais contida.

Tem frenagem de emergência, assistente de permanência em faixa e monitor de tráfego cruzado, mas piloto automático adaptativo nem sequer é opcional. Assistente de baliza, porém, é de série.

Continua após a publicidade

Porta-malas do XC60 tem 505 litros de capacidadeFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O motorista não tem do que se queixar nos dois carros. Mas cada um conta com posição de dirigir completamente diferente. O XC60 dispõe de maior amplitude de ajuste de altura para o assento e permite sentar mais próximo do assoalho.

O ajuste é elétrico, mas só há memórias para o motorista, enquanto no rival o carona também tem. Por outro lado, se a posição de dirigir é bem mais elevada, a amplitude dos ajustes de altura e profundidade da direção do Land Rover é maior.

Motor 2.0 de 254 cv tão competente quanto eficienteFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Os dois SUVs têm espaço equivalente no banco traseiro, bom para ombros, cabeça e pernas de três pessoas, a despeito do túnel central um pouco mais elevado no Volvo.

O sueco vem com duas portas USB escondidas dentro do apoio de braço dianteiro e uma tomada 12 V para os ocupantes do banco de trás, com saídas de ar traseiras logo acima.

Continua após a publicidade

No rival de origem inglesa, porém, há duas USBs no apoio de braço e mais duas traseiras, além da tomada 12 V. Já as saídas de ar de trás ficam na coluna das portas.

Não parece à primeira vista, mas o Discovery Sport é menor que o XC60Fernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O Discovery ainda tem a terceira fileira de bancos (com direito a saídas de ar independentes, frise-se), mas apenas crianças conseguem acessar e se acomodar confortavelmente ali.

Correr a segunda fila para a frente limita o espaço para pernas e não resolve a vida de um adulto, que só vai concordar em viajar ali em último caso. Por outro lado, os dois assentos extras se escondem no assoalho do porta-malas e não roubam espaço de carga.

Dupla dinâmica

A Land Rover se modernizou sem abandonar sua relação intrínseca com o off-road. Além do seletor dos modos de funcionamento da tração, o Discovery lida melhor com a buraqueira, mas nem tanto com a rolagem da carroceria.

Continua após a publicidade

Já o XC60 demonstra acerto voltado para o prazer de dirigir: é mais apoiado e tem reações mais neutras em sequências de curvas, oferecendo em troca um rodar mais firme.

Sua direção não é tão rápida quanto a do Land Rover, mas é possível alternar seu peso, que também pode estar vinculado aos modos de condução – outro item que não existe no rival –, que atuam na resposta do pedal de acelerador e do câmbio.

Terceira fila de bancos fica escondida no assoalho do porta-malas de 454 litrosFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

Por sinal, a mecânica dos dois é muito parecida, mas os resultados obtidos pelos veículos são completamente diferentes.

O Discovery Sport usou o motor 2.0 Ecoboost de 240 cv fornecido pela Ford – mesmo do Fusion – até o final de 2018. Foi quanto a Land Rover estreou a família de motores modulares Ingenium, com versões de três, quatro e seis cilindros e variantes a diesel e gasolina.

Continua após a publicidade

No caso da versão SE R-Dynamic testada, o 2.0 turbo é flex e gera 249 cv e 37,2 kgfm de torque, com etanol ou gasolina, e está casado com câmbio automático de nove marchas.

Em nossa pista de testes, precisou de 9,4 s para levar os 1.864 kg aos 100 km/h. O consumo de ciclo urbano com gasolina ficou em 6,6 km/l e em 10 km/l no rodoviário.

2.0 Ingenium tem 249 cvFernando Pires/Quatro Rodas

O Volvo XC60 confia seus 1.863 kg ao 2.0 a gasolina de 254 cv e 35,7 kgfm combinado com o câmbio automático de oito marchas, que, juntos, fazem o que parece ser mágica: alcança os 100 km/h em 7,6 s, quase 2 s mais rápido que o Land Rover.

Números de consumo são consideravelmente melhores, com 8,7 km/l em ciclo urbano e 12,4 km/l no rodoviário. Também vale comparar os números de retomada e frenagem nas fichas ao lado, sempre melhores no Volvo.

Enquanto o Land Rover Dicovery Sport é mais fiel ao conceito original de um SUV de luxo, o Volvo XC60 mostra que é, sim, possível ter prazer e se divertir ao volante de um SUV, e vence este comparativo por não deixar de lado aspectos importantes como espaço interno e sistemas de segurança.

De tão diferentes, nem parece que no passado os dois poderiam ser considerados irmãos.

[autoring]

Zákazníci v České republice si mohou objednat modernizovaný Ford Mondeo s novými designovými detaily a zejména s novou variantou Mondeo Hybrid kombi, která je v daném segmentu jedinečná.

Mondeo prodělalo několik významných změn v oblasti pohonu:

Úsporná varianta Mondeo Hybrid Kombi má nyní kultivovanější projev a nabízí mimořádně objemný zavazadlový prostor

Do Mondea přicházejí vznětové motory Ford 2.0 EcoBlue

Na přání je k dispozici nová osmistupňová samočinná převodovka se stylovým a ergonomickým otočným ovladačem

Soubor pokročilých asistenčních technologií Fordu Mondeo je doplněn adaptivním tempomatem, rozšířeným o funkci Stop & Go, která usnadňuje jízdu v hustém provozu s častým zastavováním, a inteligentní omezovač rychlosti.

Mondeo se vyrábí v moderním montážním závodu Fordu ve španělské Valencii. Čtvrtá generace Mondea, která se začala prodávat v roce 2015, má v Evropě na kontě již více než 250 000 prodaných vozů.

Všestrannost kombi a hospodárnost hybridu

Nové Mondeo Hybrid kombi zpřístupňuje přednosti hybridního pohonu i zákazníkům, kteří potřebují větší přepravní kapacitu. Použitá hnací soustava umožňuje v mnoha provozních scénářích jízdu na tichý a úsporný elektrický pohon, přitom však zachovává dojezd a svobodu tradičního spalovacího motoru.

Mondeo Hybrid může jezdit i v čistě elektrickém režimu. Zejména při popojíždění v městském provozu nabízí tichý a mimořádně hospodárný provoz. Zvolená koncepce hybridního ústrojí eliminuje obavy z nedostatečného dojezdu a nevyžaduje dobíjení baterie z externího zdroje.

Řídicí software hnacího ústrojí nyní zajišťuje plynulejší akceleraci i efektivnější využití točivého momentu zážehového motoru. Hnací soustavu Fordu Mondeo Hybrid tvoří speciálně vyvinutý zážehový motor 2,0 l, který pracuje v Atkinsonově cyklu, elektromotor sloužící jako podpora spalovacího motoru a generátor, jenž umožňuje rekuperační dobíjení kapalinou chlazené, recyklovatelné lithium-ion baterie o kapacitě 1,4 kWh, uložené za zadními sedadly.

Celkový výkon hybridní soustavy činí 138 kW/187 koní, kola jsou poháněna přes automatickou převodovku s plynule měnitelným převodem.

Rekuperací lze zachytit až 90 procent energie, která se při zpomalování či brzdění jinak ztrácí. I díky tomu nabízí Mondeo kombi HEV mimořádně nízkou spotřebu paliva. Očekávané hodnoty jsou 4,4 l/100 km, respektive 101 gramů CO2 na kilometr.

K úspornější jízdě řidičům pomáhají rovněž podpůrné systémy jako ukazatel Smartgauge, který usnadňuje sledování spotřeby paliva a elektrické energie; řízení s elektrickým posilovačem; a elektrický pohon klimatizace, chladicí soustavy a podtlakových systémů, který výrazně snižuje zatížení motoru.

Nová karosářská varianta kombi nabízí zavazadlový prostor o objemu 403 litrů v základní konfiguraci a až 1 508 litrů po sklopení zadních sedadel. Pod podlahou zavazadelníku se nachází další úložný prostor. Mondeo Kombi HEV tak představuje jednu z nejatraktivnějších nabídek v segmentu hybridních manažerských vozů – navíc často finančně výhodnější než hybridní automobily nižších tříd.

Velmi zajímavou výhodu nabízí Mondeo HEV pražským řidičům: může totiž po zaplacení velmi nízkého registračního poplatku zdarma parkovat kdekoli na modrých i fialových parkovacích zónách.* Svému majiteli přitom hybridní Mondeo nabízí stejnou záruku jako ostatní varianty tohoto modelu, tedy pět let nebo 120 000 km.

Výkonné a úsporné motory

Do Mondea poprvé přichází technicky pokročilý vznětový motor 2.0 EcoBlue. K dispozici bude ve třech variantách:

88 kW/120 koní, předpokládaná spotřeba paliva od 4,5 l/100 km a předpokládané emise CO2 od 120 g/km

110 kW/150 koní, hodnoty od 4,7 l/100 km, respektive 120 g/km

140 kW/190 koní, hodnoty od 4,9 l/100 km, respektive 130 g/km

Ke splnění přísných požadavků emisní normy Euro 6d Temp motoru pomáhá integrované sání s leštěnými povrchy kanálů, turbodmychadlo s nízkou setrvačností a vysokotlaké přímé vstřikování, které je ještě preciznější, tišší a pohotovější než dříve. Redukci emisí NOx zajišťuje sériově montovaný systém selektivní katalytické redukce.

Varianty 110 kW a 140 kW bude možné kombinovat s novou osmistupňovou samočinnou převodovkou, jež se vyznačuje následujícími funkcemi:

Adaptivní časování řazení, které zohledňuje individuální jízdní styl řidiče a tomu přizpůsobuje načasování změn převodových stupňů. Systém dokáže rozeznat jízdu do kopce i z kopce nebo průjezd ostrou zatáčkou a podle toho nastaví vhodný převodový stupeň pro plynulou a bezpečnou jízdu

Adaptivní kvalita řazení, upravující tlak spojek s cílem dosáhnout co nejjemnější změny převodového stupně na základě údajů o vozidle a prostředí, v jakém se pohybuje. Tato technologie také reguluje plynulost řazení v závislosti na jízdním stylu řidiče

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Ve vybraných motorizacích lze Mondeo 2.0 EcoBlue objednávat také s inteligentním pohonem všech kol, který průběžně sleduje záběr (trakci) jednotlivých pneumatik a podle toho upravuje rozdělení hnací síly mezi přední a zadní nápravu až do poměru 50:50. Zareagovat dokáže za pouhých 20 milisekund – tedy dvacetkrát rychleji, než trvá mrknutí oka. Výsledkem je vyšší jistota řidiče a bezpečnost jízdy zejména na kluzkém povrchu.

V nabídce nadále zůstává zážehový motor 1.5 EcoBoost o výkonu 121 kW/165 koní s integrovaným sběrným potrubím a vodním mezichladičem stlačeného vzduchu. Má spotřebu paliva od 6,4 l/100 km a emise CO2 od 147 g/km.

Jasnější rozdíly

Designové změny na exteriéru i v interiéru posilují prémiové vyznění všech tří karosářských variant a současně přinášejí výraznější vizuální odlišení výbavových stupňů Titanium, ST-Line Vignale.

Moderně tvarované přední partie se vyznačují těmito designovými prvky:

Aktualizovaný tvar lichoběžníkové horní mřížky s hlubším optickým efektem v přední části vozu; chromované provedení horizontálních lišt u modelů Titanium, černé drážkované provedení u ST-Line a exkluzivní matně stříbrné u Vignale

Upravený design spodní mřížky, která u modelů Titanium a Vignale plynule přechází do vybrání pro mlhová světla a u ST-Line je orámovaná sportovními křidélky

Nový design mlhových světel a LED denního svícení

Sportovní provedení nárazníku se zvýrazněným spoilerem ve spodní části.

Vzadu se objevují nové koncové svítilny ve tvaru písmene V, protnuté stylovým dekoračním prvkem v matně stříbrné nebo chromované povrchové úpravě. Mondeo si i nadále zachovává dynamický boční profil, atleticky tvarovanou kapotu a protažený design předních světlometů.

Zájemcům o Mondeo se nově nabízejí širší možnosti individualizace vozu. K dispozici jsou nové vzory kol z lehké slitiny o průměru 17 nebo 18 palců, stejně jako 19palcová kola v prémiové úpravě třpytivý nikl.

Osmistupňová samočinná převodovka umožnila zástavbu zdokonaleného adaptivního tempomatu s funkcí Stop & Go, která významně usnadňuje popojíždění v hustém provozu s častým zastavováním a opětovnými rozjezdy. Pokud vůz stojí méně než tři sekundy, rozjede se zcela automaticky. Při delší prodlevě stačí, aby řidič stiskl tlačítko na volantu, nebo krátce sešlápl pedál akcelerátoru.

Komunikační a zábavní systém Ford SYNC 3 umožňuje řidičům Mondea ovládat audio, navigaci, klimatizaci i připojený chytrý telefon jednoduchými hlasovými pokyny, popřípadě prostřednictvím dotykové obrazovky o úhlopříčce osm palců. SYNC 3 podporuje gesta zažitá z chytrých telefonů a je kompatibilní s Apple CarPlay i Android Auto.

The new Ford EcoSport for the first time offers Ford Intelligent All Wheel Drive technology for improved traction on- and off-road, combined with an advanced new 1.5-litre EcoBlue diesel engine, delivering up to 125 PS and optimised CO2 emissions.* Also available for the first time as a sporty, Ford Performance-inspired EcoSport ST‑Line model, the new Ford EcoSport delivers driver assistance technologies including SYNC 3 connectivity, Cruise Control with Adjustable Speed Limiter and Rear View Camera. Featuring enhanced dynamic, rugged and refined exterior styling, the new model is offered in 12 bold colours and offers even more personalisation options – including contrasting painted roof colour options that extend to the window pillars, upper door frames, rear roof spoiler and door mirrors. A user-centric, upscale new interior offers a superior occupant experience with floating central 8-inch touchscreen, heated steering wheel and smart stowage solutions including an adjustable boot floor. “Ford has sold more than 166,000 EcoSport compact SUVs in Europe since we first introduced the model to the region in 2014, and last year sales grew 40 per cent,” said Steven Armstrong, group vice president and president, Europe Middle East and Africa, Ford Motor Company. “The new Ford EcoSport offers customers even more style, comfort, capability and choice – blending rugged SUV functionality with city car practicality.” The new Ford EcoSport for Europe is built at Ford's manufacturing facility in Craiova, Romania, following a €200 million investment, and joins the Ford Edge and Kuga SUV models on sale in Europe. A new SUV-inspired Fiesta Active crossover model also goes on sale in Europe next year. The SUV segment is the fastest growing in Europe. Registrations of SUV models grew by more than 21 per cent year-on-year to account for more than one quarter of all new passenger car registrations in 2016. Last year, Ford’s SUV sales in Europe grew by more than 30 per cent. In the UK, over 40,000 EcoSports have been sold since its original introduction in 2013, with the Titanium model reaching 70 per cent of sales. Powerful and efficient The new Ford EcoSport will deliver an optimised driving experience equipped with Ford Intelligent All Wheel Drive from mid-2018. The technology will be offered in combination with the all-new 1.5-litre Ford EcoBlue diesel engine and a six-speed manual gearbox, delivering 125 PS and 300 Nm of torque. Intelligent All Wheel Drive measures how the car’s wheels are gripping the road surface and can adjust torque delivery up to 50/50 between the front and rear wheels in under 20 milliseconds – twenty times quicker than it takes to blink. The system seamlessly transitions torque between all four wheels and provides a more secure footing on the road especially in slippery conditions. Ford’s all-new 1.5-litre EcoBlue diesel engine is designed to deliver higher power for improved performance, alongside reduced CO2 emissions. The refined four-cylinder engine features innovative technologies, including: Low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation combined with water-air charge cooling for more efficient combustion and reduced emissions An integrated intake manifold for optimised engine breathing Low-inertia turbocharging for faster, more controllable turbo response, featuring rocket engine materials designed for high temperature applications A high-pressure fuel injection system that is more responsive, quieter, and offers more precise fuel delivery A 125 PS 1.5-litre EcoBlue diesel model with front-wheel drive and all-new, low-friction six-speed manual gearbox will offer even lower CO2 and greater fuel efficiency from mid-2018. Ford’s 100 PS 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine combined with front-wheel drive and all-new six-speed manual gearbox is available from launch, offering 4.1 l/100 km fuel efficiency and 107 g/km CO2 emissions.   Also available are 140 PS and 125 PS versions of Ford’s multi-award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine delivering 5.2 l/100 km fuel efficiency and 119 g/km CO2 emissions. From mid-2018, a 100 PS 1.0-litre EcoBoost model will be offered with a six-speed manual gearbox. The 125 PS 1.0-litre EcoBoost is also offered from launch with a six-speed automatic gearbox featuring steering-column mounted paddle-shifters for convenient gear-shifting, and delivering 5.8 l/100 km fuel efficiency and 134 g/km CO2 emissions. The new EcoSport continues to deliver ride and handling tuned specifically for customers in Europe, with optimised springs, dampers, spring aids, steering gear, rear axle twist beam, Electronic Stability Programme settings and steering assistance profiles. Rugged and refined styling The new Ford EcoSport features bold, dynamic Ford SUV styling, reflecting that of the mid-sized Kuga and large Edge. A sculpted bonnet with a central bulge delivers a cleaner front-end appearance, supported by heated washer nozzles hidden beneath the upper bonnet lip. The front-end design is dominated by a new large trapezoidal grille design and distinctive angular headlights that are now offered with a High Intensity Discharge lighting system, and incorporate stylish LED daytime running lights. Angular fog light housings complete a front three quarter profile that was inspired by the straps of a rucksack and designed to reflect an adventurous character. EcoSport’s rear bumper and tail light designs also are revised to deliver a cleaner, more sculpted appearance. Customers can choose from 12 bold exterior colours, including Lightning Blue, Ruby Red and vibrant metallic orange shade, Tiger Eye; and can further personalise their SUV with the new contrasting extended painted roof colour option. New 17- and 18-inch alloy wheel designs complement the rugged, sporty character, and are offered in a number of finishes, including Magnetic Low Gloss, Shadow Silver, Flash Grey and High Gloss Black. Customers continue to be able to choose a distinctive, boot-mounted spare wheel option. EcoSport now also delivers a new level of interior refinement with easier to use controls and soft-touch materials, and a new centre console ergonomically designed for easy operation and featuring fewer buttons. New seats designs are optimised for greater front and rear occupant comfort, and deliver a more upscale feel including available partial leather. Occupants can also match the ambience to their mood with adjustable interior lighting that can be set to one of seven colours. The interior features a host of smart stowage solutions, including a new height adjustable boot floor that can be raised to provide concealed storage, or lowered to increase luggage capacity to 334 litres. The boot floor uses a special honeycomb construction that makes it gramme-for-gramme stronger than steel, and able to support more than 300 kg. A new centre console features a built-in folding, sliding passenger armrest with a storage compartment ideal for tablet computers or snacks, and the CD-player is relocated to a new position above the glovebox to minimise impact on storage space. The new EcoSport line-up will for the first time include the sporty new EcoSport ST-Line variant, joining the Edge ST-Line, Fiesta ST-Line, Focus ST-Line, Kuga ST-Line, Mondeo ST-Line and S-MAX ST-Line models that offer bold styling and sports-tuned driving dynamics alongside powerful and efficient EcoBoost petrol and TDCi diesel engines. The EcoSport ST-Line delivers unique Ford Performance-inspired bumpers and side skirts, black-finish roof rails and headlight bezels, 17-inch Dark Tarnish alloy wheels, ST-Line badging and extended painted roof and door mirrors as standard. The interior offers a unique ST-Line leather-trimmed flat-bottomed steering wheel; unique partial leather seats featuring Miko®-Dinamica inserts – an ecological suede made from recycled polyester – and red stitching; leather handbrake lever and gear knob; ST-Line branded scuff plates; and stainless steel sports pedals. Sophisticated driver assistance technology The new Ford EcoSport builds on the commanding SUV driving position and rewarding Ford driving dynamics to deliver an even easier and more enjoyable driving experience using advanced technologies. Ford’s sophisticated SYNC 3 communications and entertainment system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™. SYNC 3 is supported by EcoSport’s floating, 8-inch colour touchscreen, which can be operated with pinch and swipe gestures. Also offered with SYNC 3 is a floating 6.5-inch colour touchscreen. A 4.2-inch colour screen is offered in combination with Bluetooth connectivity and two USB inputs. A new B&O PLAY sound system offers an elevated audio experience; featuring ten speakers, including boot-mounted subwoofer and a mid-range speaker in the centre of the dash, the system has been specifically calibrated for EcoSport, and is controlled by the latest Digital Signal Processing Amplifier that allows for precise equalisation and audio mixing, including a Surround Sound setting. EcoSport for the first time delivers Cruise Control with Adjustable Speed Limiter that helps drivers keep within speed limits, and a Rear View Camera that makes parking more efficient and safer. Available automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers remove some of the stresses of driving and enable customers to better concentrate on the road ahead, while a heated steering wheel and Electronic Automatic Temperature Control further improve comfort. More convenience is offered with a new 4.2-inch digital instrument cluster that makes key driving information easier to access, and power-foldable mirrors that are heated for quicker getaways on frosty mornings. Further driver assistance technologies include Ford’s Blind Spot Information System that can alert the driver to vehicles approaching alongside, and standard Roll Stability Control that adjusts engine torque and braking to help drivers maintain control. Improved occupant protection now includes driver and passenger front airbags; a driver knee airbag; new side airbags that provide extra thorax protection and are designed to direct the occupant away from an impact; and new curtain airbags that provide maximum side-impact coverage. EcoSport is also more secure than ever before, with a standard perimeter alarm. “We’ve enhanced the quality, technology and versatility of the new Ford EcoSport to deliver more of the confidence and control that compact SUV customers want,” said Gary Boes, global B-car vehicle line director, Ford Motor Company. “Drivers will feel more comfortable and self-assured than ever at the wheel.”
