BMW X1 LWB


BMW has introduced a long-wheelbase version of its X1 crossover at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show. Simply called the X1 Long Wheelbase, it offers more space at the rear and joins a host of extended wheelbase vehicles across manufacturers that have been created specifically for the Chinese market.

The X1 LWB is 8 centimetres longer, 2 centimetres wider and 4 centimetres taller than the standard X1. This has added around 18cm to the wheelbase of the car, all of which has been put in the second row. This additional space has also translated into a bigger boot of around 675 litres which can be extended to 1650 litres with the seats folded down.

The Chinese market will get this extended X1 in three states of tune. The first is the SDrive18Li which is powered by a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol mill that produces 136bhp. The SDrive20Li/XDrive20Li is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 192bhp. The top-of-the-line XDrive 25Li gets the same engine but now producing 231bhp. The first model gets a six-speed steptronic box while the other two get an eight-speed unit.

Further, this car will be offered in the XLine and Sport Line Trims whose feature list comprises a vast variety of additional extras like a surround sound system, heads-up display, LED Headlights, auto tail gate function and dynamic damper controls.

The car will be produced at BMW-Brilliance JV plant in Shenyang and will go on sale later this year. Considering that we have similar buying preferences to the Chinese market, it does not seem out of place for BMW to bring this car to the Indian market.

Toyota, BMW, Hyundai in review adventure

Toyota Motor Corporation, Hyundai and BMW are reviewing some of their models.


Toyota is reviewing 60,000 Avalon and Camry cars in North America on the grounds that their front traveler air packs may not convey in an accident.

Hyundai is reviewing 173,000 Sonata vehicles in the United States for force directing disappointment, as per filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Toyota's includes Avalons and Camrys from the 2016 model year. All were sold in the U.S.; around 1,500 were sold in Canada and Mexico.

Toyota said the autos have a framework that actuates or deactivates the front traveler air sacks relying upon the heaviness of the traveler. In a percentage of the influenced vehicles the framework was despicably aligned, so the front traveler air sacks and knee air packs may not send.

Toyota said it's misty how often the condition has happened or whether it has been in charge of any wounds.

Subsequently, the force help may fall flat and a notice light will show up on the instrument board, in spite of the fact that the driver likely would have as of now known about the expanded controlling exertion. Hyundai said its supplier in South Korea, Mobis, had changed the defensive covering on the circuit board in October 2010, after which these issues are said to have stopped. Hyundai initially saw the issue in March 2015 when it started investigating guarantee claims for this part and followed the cases up until January, when Mobis checked on its records and decided the cause.

Merchants will supplant the ECU beginning in June. The 2011 Sonata, which was totally updated that year, has been reviewed nine times since its 2010 presentation, including for complete guiding disappointments in which the middle shaft couplings could isolate. In November and September 2015, Hyundai reviewed the 2011 and 2012 Sonata for brake pedal imperfections and motor disappointments.

Mainland AG advised BMW that a blunder in the assembling process, particularly unintended deposit of metallic particles left over from stamping, could bring about a short out and thus a reset of the airbag control module. The leftover metallic particles would should be isolated from the lodging through unnecessary vibration or speeding up. The airbag light would go on, yet the airbags would amid this time be latent.

The issue influences 6,110 vehicles in the U.S., all of which will be reviewed and repaired with new airbag control modules for nothing out of pocket. The merchant fix ought to take around four hours, and BMW will tell clients via mail in May. Notwithstanding the review, BMW has issued a stop-offer of every one of the 2016 BMW 7 Series. These incorporate the 740i, 750i, and 750i xDrive.

The BMW 7 Series begins at $82,295 including destination for the back drive 740i with a turbocharged straight six making 320 hp, and the model reach extends the distance to the 750i xDrive which rings in at $98,395 with all-wheel drive and a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 useful for 445 hp.

New Audi Q5 coming to fruition in front generally 2016 discharge

New Audi Q5 coming 


More tasteful Audi Q5 will sit on new stage and will be front-wheel drive surprisingly

Audi's all-new Q5 SUV will be more upmarket and refined when it achieves showrooms before the end of the year. Spied testing at the Nurburgring, the model Q5 indicates how Audi is keeping the current model's thick look and directing it far from the cumbersome edges of the as of late propelled Q2.

As showed in our selective pictures, it will include an unmistakable hexagonal front grille, slimmer headlamps than those on the active model and triple-support air admissions. Given the size and plan of the compound wheels, the auto seen on track is prone to be the hot SQ5 TDI.

• Best 4x4s and SUV available to be purchased at this moment

The second-era Q5 will check a change to the VW Group's MLB stage. This is, as a result, the same mechanical make-up of body, motors and innovation that is utilized as a part of the officially mainstream MQB set-up, yet based around longitudinal motors rather than engines mounted transversely. It's the same arrangement of parts that supports the most recent A4, and that will permit Audi to make huge weight reserve funds with the Q5. The new auto is relied upon to be as much as 100kg lighter than the model it replaces.

That thinning down ought to help the SUV's effectiveness, while Audi will likewise present some front-wheel-drive adaptations interestingly. Moreover, each of the four-wheel-drive Q5s from dispatch will get the most recent adaptation of the quattro framework, which separates the back wheels amid ordinary heading to spare more fuel (as in the new A4 Allroad).

The Q5's line-up is required to be fundamentally the same to the A4's, beginning with a front-wheel-drive 187bhp 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol motor. A four-wheel-drive 248bhp 2.0-liter model is additionally likely.

The UK business sector's attention will be on diesels, however, commencing with a front-wheel-drive 148bhp 2.0-liter four-chamber motor. It's liable to transmit under 125g/km of CO2, and accompanies either a manual gearbox or Audi's double grasp S tronic transmission. That is serenely clear of the cleanest existing Q5, which transmits 147g/km.

All the more intense six-chamber diesels will likewise be accessible, with the A4's 215bhp and 268bhp 3.0-liter V6 motors prone to include; the last is four-wheel drive as it were. These models are required to get an auto box.

On top of the customary extent, the hot SQ5 will get a tuned six-barrel diesel with more than 340bhp, while a RS Q5 will wade in later in 2017 with no less than 450bhp from a twin-turbo petrol. There will likewise be a ultra-proficient module half and half form, blending turbo petrol power with two electric engines for CO2 outflows of under 90g/km.

A percentage of the greatest changes are prone to be inside, where the Q5 will get an appreciated upgrade that brings enhanced materials, a more extensive scope of completions to permit more noteworthy degree for personalisation and – because of a more extended wheelbase – enhanced knee and legroom for back inhabitants.

The auto will likewise get the most recent variant of Audi's route framework, joining Google Maps and the brand's Virtual Cockpit. The new audi Q5 ought to land in UK merchants in the last quarter of 2016, and the expansion of front-wheel-drive models could bring the beginning cost beneath the £32,130 of the current 2.0 TDI SE.

Strong security

There are times while having some assistance with driving makes life more casual and more secure. Pilot Assist consequently keeps up a set speed or separation to the auto in front, and in addition giving delicate directing inputs to keep you legitimately adjusted inside of your path markings.

Our Innovation Brands

All that we do is planned around individuals, so every development we make is intended to streamline and enhance your life. We're particularly pleased with our advances in effective force, availability and wellbeing. We call our reasoning in these territories: Drive-E, Sensus and IntelliSafe.

Since the separation of Volvo and Ford in 2010, the Swedish brand has been outlining and building another lineup paid for by a $11-billion speculation by Volvo's new proprietor, Chinese carmaker Geely. Volvo's answer for life without Ford is an all-Volvo-outlined stage called Scalable Product Architecture. Exceptionally versatile to work under an assortment of autos and SUVs, SPA made its presentation with the XC90 SUV. The S90 and V90 wagon are next. We as of late had an early involvement with the car in the Swedish hinterland.

Perhaps it's their long winters; however Volvo's Swedish specialists were obviously amped up for the adaptability of the new stage. Other than serving as the bones for a major SUV and a vehicle/wagon, the equipment will likewise support the S60, V60, and XC60, Volvo's up and coming era of fair size cars, wagons, and SUVs due around 2018. One reason the stage is so adaptable is that, from the S60 to the XC90, each SPA vehicle will have four-barrel power. On the off chance that you require more oomph in your S90 than the 316-hp turbo-and supercharged four can give, Volvo will offer you a half and half form whose electric engine helps yield, and in addition potentially a speedster Polestar model. The main unfaltering measurement in the design is the space between the front-hub line and the motor firewall, we're told. The wheelbase overhangs, and even the width can be taffy-pulled or pruned as important.

In the S90, the SPA stage offers 115.8 inches of wheelbase, almost two inches less than in the XC90. The front and back suspension equipment is imparted to the XC90, however it's tuned for the car, which Volvo says is 440 pounds lighter. Regardless of the fact that the case demonstrates valid on our scales, Volvo will in any case wind up with a 4300-pound vehicle. Keeping weight off is a noteworthy test when utilizing adaptable models expected for both SUVs and autos.

At any rate the S90 appeared to be strong as it busted through lumps of snow and ice amid our examining in its frigid country. It was tranquil, as well. Albeit studded winter tires were fitted to our S90 T6 model, the auto scarcely transmitted a murmur. The little yet forceful motor and eight-speed programmed go ahead solid and draw hard. In the 4733-pound XC90, we've recorded a zero-to-60-mph keep running of 6.4 seconds; anticipate that the S90 will plunge into the mid-five-second range. The 400-hp module half and half arrangement of the T8 will make for a considerably fleeter S90. With respect to taking care of, the mix of a snow-secured track and the studded tires made it hard to say how the S90 will carry on out and about, so we'll hold up to render judgment until we drive the auto on dry asphalt.

Maybe the most convincing part of the S90 is its perfect and exquisite configuration. All around, the car looks extravagant with no bit of flashiness. However, it's not exhausting, either. It's an incline auto, with low, long, and wide extents. Aston Martin's Lagonda Taraf may be prettier, yet it costs $1 million, and we've scarcely said the better-looking wagon rendition of this auto, the V90,  which is not due until 2017.

We likewise haven't discussed cash, yet that is on the grounds that evaluating hasn't been uncovered yet. We'd figure that a 316-hp T6 will start in the mid-$50,000 territory; the 400-hp T8 ought to eat up the greater part of $70,000; and the most minimal purpose of section, the 250-hp T5 with front-wheel drive, ought to cost about $50,000. Every one of the three models goes on special this fall.
