The new generation of New Suzuki Vitara has changed dramatically, in fact it is another car that does not have anything in common with the past generation of an SUV. In addition to the new design, Vitara received a completely different platform. In general, now it’s not even an SUV, the car has a very compact size, carrying a body, modest power units.

The recently appeared small SUV Suzuki SX4 New became the base for the creation of the Vitara 2015 model year. The cars have common units and units, transmission, single-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. However, the New Suzuki Vitara turned out to be smaller in length and wheelbase, but a bit wider. That is, the tight SX4 has become even closer, although the manufacturer claims the 5-person car accommodates, although the comfort is not enough.

According to the idea of ​​marketers of the Japanese manufacturer, the new machine should appeal to European youth.The car will also be sold, but against the background of the next fall of the ruble, the price of a crossover with a length of just over 4 meters can turn out to be transcendental. Therefore, mass demand can not be dreamed of.

As for the saturation with options, the manufacturer promises a fairly rich version already in the basic configuration. As head optics will act halogen headlights. Although today this is no surprise. You can buy “halogens” yourself, and increase the brightness of the native optics of your car. The rear optics of the New Suzuki Vitara will receive LEDs. In the center console will naturally be a 7-inch monitor. In more expensive versions, the image from the rear view camera will be displayed on the monitor screen.

As for power trains and transmission, the choice of motors is small. The basic engine for the New Suzuki Vitara is a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 117 horsepower. Naturally, the same motor is on the SX4. For the European market, a diesel unit of 1.6 liters is also available, but whether it appears in Russia is unclear. The manufacturer promises a fairly economical fuel consumption, which even in off-road conditions will not exceed 10 liters per hundred.

The high ground clearance and the brand-new 4×4 AllGRIP system are complemented by a 6-speed automatic Aisin box, or a 5-speed manual. From the variator manufacturer refused in favor of the classical torque converter due to the economy, which provides a new generation of automatic transmissions.

Who is the main competitor for the new crossover Suzuki? The manufacturer himself points to Nissan Juke, Opel Mokka and Kia Soul. These are all very compact cars, and the Korean Soul is not a crossover at all. When creating the new Vitara designers looked at these cars, although they are all very different.

The price of new items is already known. The basic configuration front-wheel crossover with a 5-speed mechanics and a 1.6-liter motor (117 hp petrol) is $15k. The same car, but with a 6-speed automatic device $16,700. As for all-wheel drive versions 4×4 Suzuki Vitara, the models of 2015 are offered for $20 K. The top equipment with navigation, multimedia system, panoramic sunroof will cost $23,500.

Volkswagen is preparing to release a new compact crossover



"

Three years ago, the German auto giant Volkswagen introduced the concept of the crossover Volkswagen T-ROC. However, the exterior of the serial version still remains a secret. Finally, the manufacturer presented an image that makes it clear how it will look. Familiarization with the teaser makes it possible to say that the serial car will be less spectacular in comparison with the prototype presented.

The novelty plays an important role in the company’s model range. According to the manufacturer, with the advent of this “baby” will be removed from the gap that the company had in the segment of crossover compact size. Until recently, the smallest model for Volkswagen was Tiguan . However, the change in generations that was held recently led to the fact that this model in size significantly added and even acquired a long-base modification.

At the same time, the segment of compact SUVs among automakers is quite in demand. The main competitors of Volkswagen pay attention to it. Thus, with the release of the T-ROC model, the German manufacturer will receive its representative in this segment. Competitors will have to compete with the leaders: Nissan Juke, Mazda CX-3 and other representatives of this segment.

"

Studying only one picture presented by the company on which the computer model of the car is embodied, it is difficult to talk about what will be the final appearance of the novelty. It is now clear that the modest in terms of the exterior will be a new model of the German company in comparison with its concept. From the prototype, the production car will be distinguished by the presence of 5 doors. The length of the car is 4179 mm, width 1831 mm. The height of the novelty is 1501 mm.

In the new crossover from Volkswagen the most interesting is its platform. The MQB-A0 architecture will be used by the manufacturer for the serial T-ROC. Soon this platform will be used by the manufacturer to create other company cars. In particular, it will be based on a new sedan Virtus. His management of the company originally wanted to sell in the markets of India and Brazil. However, it is possible that the sedan will be seen in Russia as a replacement for Polo Sedan. Note that on the same platform, the auto giant will also produce the next generation of Polo.

Information about the range of motors that will be offered for a compact crossover is not yet available. However, we should expect that the car will be completed with gasoline units of small volume – 1 and 1.5 liters. It is likely that a number of diesel engines will be added to gasoline engines. What will be the line of engines for the new model as a whole, will largely depend on the market. Like the Virtus sedan, the T-ROC manufacturer will be producing at factories in Brazil and India. In August this year, production of this model will start.

The engine power unit for the new SUV will be 1.5 and 2 liter engines. It is reported that in the line will be present not only gasoline units, but also diesel engines.

The Toyota FT 4X concept crossover has made a small design revolution | RSC

Toyota FT 4X : When the Toyotavians get bored, they call to California. We are not about resorts, but about the design studio Calty, who participated in the creation of numerous famous models of the company. That’s  Toyota FT 4X  – the work of stylists of the “Golden State”. The case is young, bright and requiring serial continuation. The company claims that the crossover is designed for millennials, that is, born in the late eighties and early nineties, who live in the city, but periodically spontaneously gather and break into nature.

The concept turned out to be a real snag. Do you think a car with a playful a la Lunkhead, but at the same time it is quite an adult appearance that is large in dimensions? No matter how it is! Firstly, it was built not on a frame chassis, but on a modular TNGA architecture with a transverse arrangement of the power unit. Secondly, its length is only 4249 mm, and the wheelbase is 2616 mm. Sub-compact  C-HR and then more: 4360 mm and 2640 mm respectively. Technical details are not yet reported, only four-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive transmission with lowering gear are known.

Toyota FT 4X

This  Toyota FT 4X show car is not what it seems.

The rationality of using the interior space, its originality and convenience of access, the experimental Toyota recalls the Honda Element. Please note that the Toyota FT 4X has gone against the modern fashion and does not have a front panel with touchscreens, but it does not hide the unusually designed digital instrument panel and the most interesting thing is that it allows you to hoist a smartphone over it, the benefits of fastening are available. The rear doors are sliding, and the “gate” is transformable: it can be lifted upwards or opened as two swinging doors.

Under the floor, which, it seems, can be washed from a hose, is a roomy compartment. But this is expected, but the sleeping bag of the famous “tourist” brand The North Face between the front seats, playing the role of an armrest, and a removable stand-alone speaker system – the solutions are rather unusual. On the production plans so far silence, but, we believe, the car has all chances to be on the conveyor. We also need such a crossover!
