Toyota Alphard 3.5 L

When making a list of luxury MPV you want to buy, whether Toyota Alphard included in it? Most consumers crave Alphard as the transporter's most prestigious families in the country. Some time ago, although many consider the first generation Alphard design is less appealing, this MPV is still selling well.

Alphard popularity continues booming as a symbol of stability, to the extent of PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) helped put the latest Alphard last June. This means that PT TAM compete with the general importer who since 2003 has been selling the previous model.

At first glance, the design of second generation Alphard is not much different from the model it replaces. But the exterior design is more modern look thanks to the more pointed snout and more sloping roofline.

But the power of this Japanese MPV is in the interior. With the new platform, higher cabin 10 mm and more luxurious than the old Alphard. Alloy color dark gray, ivory and wood panels with chrome accents, making the cabin look more elegant.

Dashboard design is flat and symmetrical look simple with a variety of focused button in the middle. Moreover, the instrument panel look more attractive. Practicality is also good and there are many storage containers.

Both front seats equipped with electric regulator, while a pair of captain in the back seat has a buffer head and leg side. Passengers so spoiled when sitting on this bench. Both benches middle and rear rows can be shifted if you need a space larger items. But in addition can be shifted, a separate backseat 50:50 with 3 headrest that can also be folded to the side. Unfortunately the process of consuming enough energy pelipatannya you.

Problem features, MPV worth USD 1.1 billion is certainly provide abundant. Includes twin sunroof for fresh cabin or cabin lights in some corners. Similarly, traction control, twin sunroof, parking sensors, AFS, the Start / Stop and monitor the following roof Toyota Premium Sound with 8 speakers. Both the electric sliding side doors are wide open also makes it easier to access in and out.

Although there are 2400 cc engine option 4 cylinder, but only the most luxurious variant 3500 cc V6 engine dual VVT-i sold PT TAM. Combined Super ECT automatic transmission 6-speed, shift when driving was smooth. But once you step on the gas pedal deeper, a direct transmission to respond to produce a smooth acceleration as well. Engine power adequate to the bodinya pulled bongsor.

Soft suspension that supports the quality of cabin comfort than silence. Several small mounds and undulating could very well suppressed, so that shocks in the cabin was minimal. The other side, appeared unsteady phenomena when cornering sharply despite wheel gives good feedback.

With a comfortable ride quality, especially if you choose to be a passenger, Alphard have much strength to compete with its rivals than previous models. Very well worth considering.

While in the vehicle, immediate impression of luxury through the elegant form of dashboards. There is a screen that displays all the important information needed, such as entertainment and AC performance. Not long later, Satrio Harnanto, national drivers, came over.

Her presence was making my dreams come true. He offered me to drive A4. He had always appeared on the scene insisted A1 race, this time to let me sit behind the wheel.

"Please try it," he said kindly. Of course I do not want to respond with a friendly driver too. Without a long time, I stepped on the gas pedal deeply. The engine was smooth with a light wheel.

Test drive route in Senayan City area, precisely in the side street is the mall building. Unfortunately the path is relatively short so could not test the optimal European cars such capabilities.

Engine feels responsive, but the roar of the engine sounded smooth. "In gas alone, do not be afraid." Once the 'command' Satrio apparently felt that the car's speed reaches 80 km / hour is nothing.

In one corner, with a speed of 75 km / h Audi wheel is still easy to control. Because of that, I want to try to maneuver the car is more wild. With a speed of 80 km / h, the Audi engine capacity of 1800 cc that I take spin. The results did not disappoint. Suspension of work but feels a little 'run'.

According to Iyok, Satrio friendly greeting, he could push on the A4 highway at 218 km per hour. Although jeroannya below 2000 cc, Audi technology can make faster the rotation torque resulting in greater power with fuel consumption more efficient.

When choosing comfort, performance will be full suspension. If you want to relax on the trip, I recommend choosing comfort.

Dynamic mode while the car makes the most of your work, help the engine reach peak speeds. Control steering feels lighter. For more aggressive appearance can choose dynamic. The auto is a combination of dynamic and comfort.

I personally do not like to use this option because it seemed no establishment.

After following the exposure of PT Garuda Mataram Motor, obtained information about the ability to change the character of the car control just by pressing the button called Audi Drive Select.

Audi A4 claimed as the Future Saloon, Saloon future. Dibanderol a cost of around Rp650 million per unit, this car is expected to sell 200 units sold at the end of the year. He conquered enables Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3 Series as its nearest competitor?

Jaguar XF Series

No more style 'polite' in the street. Kitchen capitalize runway capacity to 4200 cc supercharged, exhaust roar out sangar ready. That figure 'leopard' new England, Jaguar XF series.

XF Series models break rigid conservative who impressed as Jaguar series before. The first time a white cloth exposed by Darwin Maspolim, President Director of PT Grandauto Dynamics, ATPM Jaguar, I was surprised to see a coupe-like model. New leopard has been born. Shape sporty, elegant look, but it still emits an aura of aristocratic luxury.

Once inside the car for Rp2, 1 billion this, I guess that thought this car was narrowly missed. Space is wide enough on the inside, fit for five adults, though it resembles a car model coupe.

We sat behind the driver's seat, my eyes fixed on the red light flickering on a button that is located right in the middle of the front, below the radio. The lamp was kept flashing to the rhythm like a heartbeat.

A staff came in and pressed the button. Simply Jaguar XF roars gently. As the proverb says, do not wake a sleeping tiger, Nah! Do not press the button if it does not want to travel with the XF.

Frankly, I'm impressed with the idea of the start-stop engines that were made to resemble a leopard's heartbeat.

My admiration does not stop. After the engine starts, a cylinder appears automatically in a place where there are gear levers. I just realized, where this car gear lever. Apparently yes cylinder! A circle with a diameter of no more than 8 cm.

This technology is called JaguarDrive Selector. Its function is similar to ordinary gear lever, but its operation by way of playing. A brilliant idea to maximize interior space and create a minimalist look.

JaguarDrive Selector control transmission system with six-speed automatic. If you want to switch to manual transmission, the Jaguar Sequential Shift technology allows it. Button to move the transmission when the manual system is activated, there is at the wheel.

7-inch touch screen ready to accompany your journey with audio and video entertainment. In addition there is the Jaguar Sense, which set the interior lights in accordance with our will.

XF interior luxury is not only present in visual form, but our ears were pampered with the enormity of the music that came out of the 14 fruit speaker 440W Bower & Wilkins. High-end brand for this audio can be obtained by adding consumer Rp40 million from the sale price.

For those of you who have not advanced driving, XF has a Blind Spot Monitor technology, which lets you see the dark zone is not visible in the rearview mirror. Through the radar, this system will provide information about the dark zone which is then displayed on the 7-inch touch screen.

4200 cc V8 engine to be able to make XF supercarged racing. 0-160km/jam able devoured speed in just 5.4 seconds. As for, the maximum speed reached 250km/jam XF. XF exhaust system is also capable of reducing noise when the engine digeber.

Keep characteristic

Ian Cullum, car designers do not seem to want too hit the limit. There are typical Jaguar that he does not leave behind, such as Bonet in the middle of the hood is still outstanding. Then the front grill still does not use frames, and wood panels still exist Jaguar used.

There is a little story about Bonet characteristic on the hood of the Jaguar. Previously it was not planned Bonet, but because the former Jaguar engine is too large, so the hood can not tetutup. So, was made space (Bonet) to the engine hood to be closed perfectly.

In Indonesia, the Jaguar XF comes in two series. XF 3.0L V6 with 238 horsepower, sold at Rp1, 29 billion and XF supercharged 4.2L V8 with 416 horsepower, dilego Rp2, 1 billion. In the Indonesian market, XF will fight in the premium sedan class, competing with BMW, Audi, Lexus, and Mercedes Benz.

PT Dinamika own Grandauto Jaguar XF target only sold about 200 units from 4000 sales of premium sedans this year in Indonesia. The reason Darwin, because the allocation of the principals in the UK is very limited for the Indonesian market.

Nissan Livina X-Gear MT, Expression Has No Limit

After the event Beijing Motor Show 2008 to debut event, turn to Indonesia through PT. Nissan Motor Indonesia (NMI) will soon introduce the latest variant in the family in society Livina X-Gear label. Teddy Irawan According to Deputy Sales & Marketing NMI, X-Gear presence to complement its product line after the Grand Livina and XR, and the most important thing is to provide a wider selection of Indonesian consumers.

As the presence of a series of activities Livina X-Gear in the national market, on Tuesday and Wednesday (22 to 23 / 4), NMI organizes "Test Drive Journalist Livina X-Gear 'in Cape Lesung, West Java. Even that followed no less than 20 automotive journalists media took place in Jakarta said. Since the NMI deliberately concocted session Nissan's drive from the office in MT. Haryono, and the aura of adventure and the freshness of beach Cape Lesung style. On this occasion BeritaATPM.com get 'ration' X-Gear transmission 5-speed manual with two journalist from the media and Parenting Cosmopolitan Indonesia.

Before the trip began, we tried to trace the figure of the exterior. Cursory view X-Gear is no different from Livina XR, only a few details in order to try infiltrated his body looks more macho and sporting. As smooth curve on the front bumper and black etched all over his body and the bottom of the rear door handles and skid plate dilengkapinya silver berkelir. The characteristics of this facelift more visible in the high-mounted stop lamp that said X-Gear.

Judging from the cabin, we feel the room feel more spacious. It turned out that after visits to the data specifications, the length of stretchy 100 mm, width 40 mm and 15 mm high. So assuming the cabin more spacious and comfortable for the capacity of 5 adults plus luggage was proved. So too with color design on the seat, after the XR is dominated by bright colors accent the dark now trying to apply a red hue NMI. Once any of the security side, X-Gear has been specially equipped drivers SRS airbags.

Once satisfied watching her figure, begin the long journey along the path toward Cape Lesung implemented immediately. After the drive has gained the position of direct machine is turned on. Whir of machines such as the XR HR15DE smooth enough sound to the cabin. After the lever perseneling entered in positions 1, X-Gear we immediately point to the highway segment to Anyer. As a note for residents numbered X-Gear 5 predominantly women, practically all the way up again in Jakarta, the driving position remains in the hands BeritaATPM.com.

During the trip, the performance capacity of 1498 cc engine proved quite responsive, with the traction gear change is quite subtle. In this session, we tried to explore the reliability of maneuver. In the speed range from 120 to 140 km / hour, the sounds coming from the engine and the tires began to infiltrate into the cabin. But this can be ditepis with the music from an audio system that quite entertaining along the way.

In fact, we occasionally pounding the gas pedal down as he maneuvered past the car in front, until the speedometer needle had touched the numbers 170 km / hour. Indeed there is still a force which should be maximized, given the road conditions started to unfriendly body roll and symptoms begin to appear we nevertheless do so. Surely the safety becomes the main thing. Thumbs up was also posted for proper tire grip firmly embedded in the asphalt.

Once satisfied 'play' on the highway, we immediately brought the car down the street Cilegon for lunch at the Hotel Marbella, Anyer. At this point we should be more friendly with a variety of damaged road trucks are also a large capacity and motors that many passing. But with the character diaplikasikannya suspension medium, it can be we passed through.

After lunch, drive back to continue to the end location of the Cape Lesung. For the umpteenth time we have to meet again with the same field. But this can be answered X-Gear with the agility to maneuver through each vehicle and avoid the hollow road with the steering control was quite mild.

First Impression: 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer lineup includes new MR Limited

Remember the Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Sportback we showed you back in October? The one that debuted in Paris? The one that we lusted after for its hatchback practicality and Ralliart brawn? The one that the good folks from Mitsubishi had promised we'd be getting here in the States this summer as an early 2010 model? Well, Mitsubishi has delivered. Sort of. A few Mitsu reps drove down to Irvine from Cypress with a genuine 2010 Ralliart Sportback. And not only that, but they dragged along an Evo GSR and an all-new MR Limited as well.

The Ralliart Sportback drew a lot of attention for its shape, but the Limited was the one that caught our eye. It's a regular old MR with a few differences. In place of the Alcantara bits, Mitsubishi has gone all-cowhide inside. There are also a few additions to the standard options list, including an Evo-first moonroof. Out back, the car has gone undercover by foregoing the large wing that has heretofore characterized the Evo sedans. Sounds like the Evo MR for grownups. Mitsu's reps remained tight-lipped on the details, but pricing is likely to top $40,000 for this model. We didn't get as many shots as we would have liked, but we did manage to get a few that we've assembled in the gallery below. As soon as we get more details, we'll fill you in.
