Filed under Automotive reviews
Mercedes-Benz SL renewed, with changes in appearance from the outside, engines and equipment. The new range of this sport is for sale from 92,300 euros’ SL 280 “and it costs up to 248,000 euros’ AMG ‘most potente.El SL is a two-seater convertible with a retractable hardtop. Regarding the previous model, there are changes in appearance from the outside: have been redesigned headlamps, pilots, bumpers, grille and exterior mirrors (which now includes intermittent side).
Versions’ AMG ‘are the most sporting of the SL range. Are distinguished because they have changes in the bodywork, suspension and brakes.
The exterior appearance is also different. They differ by a black grille, front bumper with air intakes and larger openings for the evacuation of heat from the radiator oil, a rear diffuser, rear wing and some lights obscured. In addition, the fog are circular and oval instead of the bonnet is domed.
There are six versions of FS, each with a different engine: ‘SL 280 “(3.0 l V6 231 hp),” SL 350 “(3.5 l V6 316 hp),” SL 500′ (5 , 5 l V8 388 hp), “SL 600″ (5.5 l V12-517 hp), “SL 63 AMG” (6.2 l V8 525 hp) and ‘SL 65 AMG “(6.0 l V12, 612 hp).
All engines are atmospheric and are linked to a seven-speed automatic change, except that the V12 turbo and are associated with one of five speeds.
The most important innovation is the new variant “63 AMG”, which replaces the previous “55 AMG”. The difference between these versions is in the engine (6.2 l aspirated V8 compared to 5.4 l turbocharged V8 ‘55 AMG “). The power, performance and consumption virtually unchanged.
In addition, there is a new variant of access (280) and a 44 hp more powerful engine for the “350″. In general, all versions consume slightly less than before.
Audi A4 Avant is on sale – automotive review
August 30, 2008 by Automotive
Filed under Automotive reviews
The new Audi A4 Avant is on sale from 32,820 euros, about 1,700 euros more than the saloon. For the moment, can only be purchased with two gasoline engines and two diesel.
The family version of the A4 measured the same as the four-door (4.70 m), while its trunk is only 10 litres more (490 versus 480 l l). The trunk of the Avant is more practical because you have gate-to-mouth and a larger-entry is more convenient to load. The large interior space, equipment and plenty of good qualities dynamics do not change.
At the time of launch, is available with two petrol engines (1.8 l T FSI 160 hp and 3.2 l V6 FSI of 265 hp) and two Diesel (2.0 l TDI 143 hp and 3 , 0 l V6 TDI 239 hp). All have direct fuel injection and, except for the 3.2 l FSI, everyone is turbo. The A4 Avant with six-cylinder engines have traction total.
All engines are associated with a shift six-speed manual. Optionally, the two least powerful (143 and 160 hp) can join an automatic gearbox ‘multitronic’ eight speeds. The V6 petrol is also available with an automatic change ‘Tiptronic’ six speeds.
After the summer, may be bought with five other engines, two petrol (2.0 TFSI l variants in the 180 and 211 hp) and three diesel (2.0 l TDI 120-hp, 2.0 l TDI 170 CV and 2.7 l TDI 190 hp).
As far as we have seen in the A4 four-door, gives the impression of being a big car and quality. Although not as comfortable as a Mercedes-Benz C-Class or as nimble as a BMW 3 Series, the A4 has an intermediate point between comfort and agility very accomplished. Moreover, it is well insulated from the noise of the engine.
With the diesel engine of 143 hp, is fast and its consumption is low. Regarding the previous 140 hp engine (which had a direct injection pump-injector rather than through common), is markedly softer and less noisy.
KIA d 1.6 CRDi – automotive review
August 30, 2008 by Automotive
Filed under Automotive reviews
El KIA pro_cee´d es la versión de tres puertas del cee´d. Puede comprarse desde 13.281 hasta 19.356 euros, con dos motores de gasolina y tres Diesel.
Es entre 650 y 800 euros más costoso que la variante con carrocería de cinco puertas. Como el cee´d, el pro_cee´d es uno de los modelos más recomendables de los de características similares que se venden en España.
Tiene muchas virtudes que lo hacen muy recomendable. Destaca por tener una relación entre precio y equipamiento mejor que la media. Su espacio interior y su calidad de acabado también son mejores de lo normal.
En cualidades dinámicas y en estabilidad se encuentra a la altura de los mejores, como un Ford Focus, un Volkswagen Golf y, en menor medida, un SEAT León.
Además tiene una garantía mecánica de hasta siete años ó 150.000 km (los tres primeros años sin límite de km).
El pro_cee´d mide 4,25 m de largo, 1 cm más que la versión de cinco puertas. Sus dimensiones exteriores son parecidas a las de un Opel Astra (4,25 m) y un Peugeot 308 (4,28 m). El maletero mide 340 l; es un tamaño normal para un coche de estas dimensiones.
Está disponible con dos motores de gasolina y tres Diesel. Los de gasolina son un 1,6 l de 122 CV y un 2,0 l de 143 CV. Los motores Diesel son 1,6 l CRDi en dos variantes de potencia (90 y 115 CV) y un 2,0 l CRDi de 140 CV.
Todos los motores van unidos a un cambio manual de cinco velocidades, salvo el Diesel de 140 CV que va asociado a uno de seis velocidades.
Con todos los motores destaca por tener unas prestaciones normales (con una velocidad máxima algo baja para su potencia) y un consumo contenido en las versiones de gasolina y bajo en las Diesel.
La versión Diesel de 115 CV, que es la que hemos probado, da un resultado muy bueno por suavidad, silencio, prestaciones y consumo.
Mazda 6 1.8 120 CV 4 y 5p automotive review
August 30, 2008 by Automotive
Filed under Automotive reviews
It is the most basic economic and MAZDA6. It’s on sale for 22,500 € both with five-door body as four and has a gasoline engine of 120 hp.
It is a basic version interesting for two reasons. First, in exchange for what they paid-that is not a high price-provides a rich variety of equipment, a car wide, well done and that responds well. Second, it has a pleasant 120-hp engine, which may be more sufficient in most cases and can be adjusted consumption.
The MAZDA6 1.8 is sold only with a level of equipment (Active), which has serial connection for automatic lights and windscreen wipers, dimming mirror of internal charger six discs, Bluetooth connection or aluminum wheels, 17 “, among others elements.
While the equipment is complete, is missing the chance lack the ability to add elements optionally, a better lighting system (headlamps are standard gives a beam of light poor) or browser, to name a few. To have these elements must acquire other versions with more powerful engines.
The MAZDA6 is large for four occupants, the front seats are very good and the driving position is hardly improved.
For how wheel, it is clear that Mazda has not tried to make a car particularly easy: it has made a car with a suspension for throwing hard. In return, either by the suspension, for their settings or for whatever reason, the MAZDA6 is unexpectedly agile and gives a great feeling of lightness (in the proper sense of the word) that virtually has no saloon, 4.7 m longitude.
