NEW: 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550

 

The vehicle body of the new Mercedes CLS spoils all occupants with its generous interior measurements: in particular, the four-door coupé offers more elbow room (8/21 millimetres at the front/back) and more shoulder room (21/13 millimetres) than its predecessor. The starting point for this extra space was the vehicle body, which is 29 millimetres longer, 13 millimetres higher and 8 millimetres wider than its predecessor. The wheelbase has increased too, by 20 millimetres to 2874 millimetres.

 

Individuality is written large in the new Mercedes-Benz CLS. The model range for the four-door Coupé is correspondingly extensive – it will be at first be available with rear-wheel drive and then, from September 2011 onwards, for the first time as a 4MATIC with all-wheel drive. As regards the drive system, customers will at first have a choice between four petrol and diesel engines, with four, six and eight cylinders and an output range of between 150 kW (204 hp) and 300 kW (408 hp), or 2143 to 4633 cc displacement.

A customer opting for the Exterior Sports package will get a Mercedes CLS with visible, chromed tailpipes. The Sport CLS also has a lowered suspension with sports tuning, alloy wheels in size 18 or 19 (and, optionally, in anthracite) and a trim element in black on the rear bumper.

The AMG Sports package comprises a multifunction sports steering wheel in nappa leather in the 3-spoke design, with flattened bottom section, aluminium pedals, AMG bumpers to the front (with single-louvred grille) and rear, AMG alloy wheels in size 18 or 19, AMG floor mats, visible tailpipes, and in the interior, in combination with black leather seats, light-coloured felled seams on the seats, headrests and armrests. With the AMG Sports package, the automatic transmission has a third shift programme – M – which allows the gear to be selected manually using the paddles on the steering wheel. In addition to this, the adaptive suspension is more sportily tuned.

The Exclusive package combines seats in fine semi-aniline leather with nappa leather for the instrument panel, centre console and parts of the door trim. The roof lining is made of alcantara. The Exclusive package, which also includes ambient lighting, is available with all the interior colours and trim elements.

The CLS “Edition 1″ will be available for a limited period of one year following market launch. The distinguishing features of this special model are the SHAPE matt paint finish in manganite grey; the leather upholstery in designo corteccia tundra brown pearl which has a metallic shimmer to it; floormats with Edition 1 lettering; a black roof liner; and aluminium pedals. For the interior trim elements in the Edition 1 there is a choice between satin-finish light brown poplar, black piano lacquer or AMG carbon fibre.

195 kW (265 hp) and 620 Nm of torque: the excellent diesel engine in the CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY is now even more powerful and boasts a correspondingly superior performance. The Coupé accelerates to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds, and has a top speed of 250 km/h. And despite the increase in output of 30 kW and the additional tractive power of 80 Nm, the V6 consumes a fifth less fuel than previously, at 6.0 litres per 100 km.

The four- and six-cylinder variants of the CLS feature 17-inch wheels fitted with 245/45 R 17 tyres as standard. The CLS 500 BlueEFFICIENCY is factory-fitted with 18-inch wheels and tyres in size 255/40 R 18 – this combination is available as an option for four- and six-cylinder models.

Alternatively, 18-inch wheels fitted with tyres in size 255/40 R 18 at the front and 285/35 R 18 at the rear are available for all models. The 19-inch wheels which are available for the first time lend the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class an even sportier appearance. These wheels are fitted with tyres in size 255/35 R 19 at the front and 285/30 R 19 at the rear.

NEW: 2012 Jaguar XKR 5.0 Coupe and Convertible

Jaguar sports cars have a reputation for blending athletic high-performance with effortless cruising comfort. Nothing exemplifies this dual character more clearly than the XK’s 5.0-litre AJ-V8 engine.

Now in its third generation this offers not only tremendous power but also great efficiency by incorporating the very latest technology including spray-guided direct injection (SGDI) and dual independent variable cam timing (DIVCT). Like the car itself, the engine is constructed from high-grade, lightweight aluminium, which in the cylinder heads is recycled to reduce the environmental impact of manufacture.

All variants of the Jaguar XK use the six-speed ZF automatic gearbox with steering wheel-mounted paddles to control the Jaguar Sequential Shift function for greater driver control. In the XKR-S the transmission has been revised in line with the increased power and torque to optimise upshifts and allow for the increased top speed.

In the latest Jaguar XKR, the cabin has been refreshed with a host of new trim materials including ebony soft-feel paint for the switches, gloss black finish to the centre console and phosphor blue halo illumination and ambient lighting. New veneers, colour combinations and headlining options allow owners to create a cabin ambience precisely matching their requirements.

Range Rover Evoque - 21 Facts you didn't know!

• It has an aluminium bonnet and roof, plastic front wings and a composite tailgate to keep weight down. The lightest version comes in at less than 1600kg.

• It is the first SUV or crossover with magnetic ride. Iron filings in the shock absorber fluid change their positioning when an electrical current is applied or removed to make the suspension stiffer or softer.

• It has the best take-off, departure and ramp angles of any compact 4x4 or crossover, which means it can tackle steeper gradients and humps.

• Engineers spent 13,000 hours making every shutline (the necessary gap between two adjacent body panels or interior trim panels) as tight as possible in the interests of refinement and quality.

• The five-door version has a higher roofline and longer windscreen to make it more spacious in the back than its three-door sibling.

• The Evoque is based on the Land Rover Freelander platform, but it has totally new front- and rear suspension. There is only one common chassis component between the two cars.

• The Evoque has more ground clearance than a Freelander and can drive through water that's up to 500mm deep.

• An updated version of Land Rover's Hill Descent Control and Gradient Release Control is said to make driving down steep inclines smoother and prevent the car from rolling backwards at more than 5mph.

• Durability testing took place in 15 countries and included China for the first time. Russian winters and Tokyo traffic were also included in the test schedule.

• The 2.0-litre petrol engine develops 3.5% more power (237bhp) and 7% more torque (251lb ft) than the 3.2-litre six-cylinder unit in the Freelander, but it's 8% more economical.

• The 2.2-litre diesel will be available with 188bhp or 148bhp. The lesser-powered version will be reserved for the two-wheel-drive model to help trim CO2 emissions to below 130g/km.

• An eight-inch dual-view screen will allow the driver to use the sat-nav while the front passenger watches the TV or a DVD. Eight-inch rear screens mounted in the backs of the front headrests will also be available.

• The range of personalisation options means there are 380,000 combinations available to buyers.

• The Evoque was developed with what Land Rover calls 'life-cycle design' to take into account its effect on the environment at all stages of production, use and scrapping. The company claims this has reduced the car's global warming potential by 8.1%, saving 3.6 tonnes of CO2 over 125,000 miles.

• There is 16kg of recycled plastic in every Evoque, which is used for such things as wheelarch liners and engine covers. The headliner is made from 100% recycled polyester. Altogether, there are 21kg of natural and renewable materials in the car.

• Land Rover thought about giving the Evoque the familiar Range Rover split tailgate, but rejected the idea because that would have necessitated the use of heavier materials.

• For winter mornings you will be able to programme the heater to come on before you get in the car to take the chill out of the cabin – and for up to seven days in advance.

• A self-park system steers the car into gaps only 1.2 times the car's length. All the driver has to do is work the accelerator and brake.

• The Evoque is the first Land Rover with electronic power steering. This cuts fuel consumption by 2%.

• A premium Meridian stereo with 17 speakers will be among the options available.

• The Range Rover Evoque won this year's reader vote as the most exciting car of 2011 at our Car of the Year Awards

NEW.... VW Beetle - First Pictures...

The new Volkswagen Beetle is 1,808 mm wide (84 mm wider), 1,486 mm tall (12 mm lower) and 4,278 mm long (152 mm longer). This has resulted in entirely new proportions. The gain in length meant that the roof could be extended further, the front windscreen could be shifted back, and the rear section could follow the contour of the original Beetle. The new focal point is the C-pillar. In parallel, the development team increased the car’s track widths and wheelbase. All of this gives the VW Beetle a powerful appearance with muscular tension.

In the USA, the VW Beetle will be offered as a turbodiesel for the first time. The Beetle 2.0 TDI (103 kW / 140 PS) meets all USA emission limits and attains 40 mpg fuel economy in the Highway cycle, 29 mpg in City driving, and 33 mpg combined. Incidentally, the Volkswagen not only has excellent fuel economy values in the version with a 6-speed manual gearbox, but also – and this is a technical debut in the Beetle as well – with the optional 6-speed dual clutch transmission.

Fuel economy values were also improved in the 2.5-litre five cylinder petrol engine, which was already a success in the previous model. The manually shifted VW Beetle attains 22 mpg (City), 31 mpg (Highway) and 25 mpg (combined). Its counterpart with a 6-speed automatic comes in at 22 mpg (City), 29 mpg (Highway) and 25 mpg (combined) – this represents an increase of up to 10 percent in fuel economy.

In markets such as Asia, Australia, Europe and New Zealand, the new Volkswagen Beetle will be offered exclusively with charged engines. All engine versions – all of them with four cylinders – are being used for the first time in this model series. The car exhibits significantly reduced fuel consumption and emission values compared to the previous model thanks to the switch to turbo-petrol (TSI) and common rail turbodiesel direct injection engines (TDI). The three charged petrol engines of the Beetle output 77 kW / 105 PS, 118 kW / 160 PS and 147 kW / 200 PS. The two diesel engines develop 77 kW / 105 PS and 103 kW / 140 PS (TDI engines are not offered in China). All five engines may be combined with a dual clutch transmission as an option.

The new Volkswagen will be available worldwide in the three equipment lines “Beetle”, “Design” and “Sport”. Each of these versions has a very unique character.
