Q60 Concept

Infiniti has unveiled the 2+2 coupe Concept – the Q60 Concept at the 2015 North American International Auto Show.

The Q60 concept rides on 21-inch wheels and is powered by Infiniti’s next-generation 3.0-liter V6 engine with direct injection and twin-turbocharging. This engine previews a new series of smaller, lighter and more efficient, yet more powerful engines which, according to Infiniti, is slated to be introduced within the next two years.

Besides the new engine, Infiniti also showcases some of its latest technologies that enhance the driving experience on the Q60 Concept. For example, the enhanced Infiniti Direct Adaptive Steering™ system allows independent control of the car’s tire angle and steering inputs, transmitting the driver’s intentions to the wheels faster than a mechanical system. The new Infiniti InTuition™ system, a fully customizable digital environment, which works with the vehicle’s advanced Intelligent Keys to recognize the vehicle settings for up to four different drivers, including preferences for driving position, heating and cooling, audio, navigation, telematics.

Measured 84.6 inches long, 73.4 inches wide and 53.9 inches high, the Q60 Concept is about 90% close to the production version which will be placed between the smaller Q30 and the full-size sedan Q80 when available in 2016.

2016 Lexus GS F

Lexus has unveiled at the 2015 North American International Auto Show its latest F model – the GS F which will join the high-performance F lineup in 2016.

As announced ahead of the debut, the GS F is built on the GS 350 F SPORT platform and features a wide range of upgrades including engine and suspension. The upgrades are so significant that Lexus says they “re-engineer” the car and turn the GS F into “an entirely new animal to the Lexus showroom”.

At the heart of the GS F is a 5.0-L V8 engine that generates 467 horsepower and peak torque of 389 lb.-ft. with a 7,300 rpm redline. The powerful engine is paired with a “quick-acting” 8-speed AT with paddle shifters for manual-shifting capability.

Just like the GS 350 F SPORT, the GS F model offers 3 additional driving modes besides the normal mode –ECO, SPORT S and SPORT S+. ECO mode is for fuel economy, SPORT S fully exploits the capability of the powertrain and SPORT S+ takes a step further by setting up suspension, steering system, among other ready for racetrack.

According to Lexus, the custom stiff suspension that is equipped on the GS F “was honed on Japanese circuits such as Fuji Speedway and perfected on the famous Nürburgring Nordeschleife”. The suspension is teamed with 19-inch wider forged wheels and an enhanced braking system depending on 15-inch front rotors with 6-piston calipers

The styling of the GS F provides enhanced aerodynamic and internal cooling. The spindle grille adds extra aerodynamics to the car and at the same time enhances engine cooling. Distinguishing the GS F from its standard GS counterpart is easy as the GS F is outfitted with carbon fiber accents, and equipped with carbon-fiber rear spoilers and trapezoidal tailpipes with quad exhaust tips.

Both engines will be paired to a new 6-speed AT. The V6 can also be mated to a new 6-speed MT. Toyota said “the new powertrain makes the Tacoma more powerful and fuel efficient than ever before.”

On the styling front, besides sharing the chiseled face with a hex grille, the Tacoma shows its identifiable character. “Inspired by desert racing”, the 3rd generation Tacoma features new muscular wheel flares, bold upper grille and a taller, more muscular hood. The tailgate with slowly-retract capability has an integrated spoiler for better aerodynamics.

On the inside, the 2016 Tacoma features “handlebar” design theme in the instrument panel for a more driver-focused experience. The new Toyota Tacoma’s cabin was added with multi-layer acoustic windshield and sound-absorbing headliners. Together with enhanced seals and added floor silencer pad, the 2016 Toyota Tacoma is the quietest Tacoma ever.

2016 Nissan Titan XD

Nissan has debuted the all-new Titan full-size pickup at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. Representing the next-generation Titan lineup, the 2016 Nissan Titan XD flagship model took the stage and previewed other grade levels in the lineup which will be introduced at a later date this year.

Jumping right to the heart of the Titan, the all-new 2016 Nissan Titan will be powered by three engine choices including all-new V8, V6 and the new Cummins V8 Turbo engine which is powering the 2016 Titan XD.

The V6 is the first that Nissan offers in this class. The specs of the V6 and V8 will be available at a later date.

As for the Cummins V8 Turbo engine, it is a 5.0L engine producing 310 horsepower and powerful 555 lb.-ft. of torque, giving the 2016 Titan XD a towing capability of over 12,000 lb. and payload of over 2,000 lb. The Cummins 5.0-L V8 Turbo Diesel engine produces about 45 percent more torque at crusing speed than similar-sized gasoline V8 engine and according to Nissan, the engine is expected to yield 20 percent better fuel economy than a gasoline powered V8 while towing full load. With its torque and power, the engine is mated to a heavy-duty 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission which is developed and tuned exclusively for the Titan XD.

To handle this powerful engine, the Nissan Titan XD utilizes a unique frame and chassis that got its design from Nissan commercial vehicles. The Titan XD’s wheelbase is 151.6 inches, about 20 inches long than that of non-XD Titan models.

In contrast to the original Titan which was started out focusing on consumer innovations such as rear doors design, beside storage, etc., the all-new Titan was started out focusing on “commercial strength components” such as the radiator, rear axle and everything in between.

Equipped with new heavy-duty suspension system that consists of tuned and reinforced parts, the new Titan XD rides on three available wheel sizes – 17-inch, 18-inch or 20-inch, all come with all-weather/all-surface-traction tires.

Unveiled just last week at the New York International Auto Show, the 2016 RAV4 Hybrid will be the eighth hybrid model and the second SUV hybrid model in Toyota roster, and the only hybrid in the entire “compact SUV” segment.

Equipped with an AWD system that features front and rear motor operated individually, the 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is powered by a hybrid system that consists of a 2.5-L, 4-Cyl engine and eCVT (Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission).

Toyota Camry

The current generation Camry started in a2012 and an all-new Camry is usually rolled out every four years, but now you don’t need to wait until 2016 to get a new Camry as Toyota just revealed the major face-lifted 2015 Camry at the New York International Auto Show.

Toyota said that the 2015 Camry is “the new Camry” which comes from the “new Toyota”. Apparently, it is hard to tell that this 2015 Camry is actually in the same generation with the previous year Camry, as every exterior aspect of the car has been changed except for the roof. The new Camry is 1.8 inches lower and 0.4 inches wider than the previous model year.

With the major overhaul to the Camry, one could say that the Camry starts its new generation a year early at least on the appearance, as the 2015 Camry is still powered by the same 2.5-liter 4-cyl or 3.5-liter V6 gas engines teamed with 6-speed AT, or a 2.5-liter Atkinson Cycle engine with Hybrid Synergy drive matched to an E-CVT.

With a V6 engine, the rating is 21city/34highwa/25 combined mpg for a FWD model and 21city/31highway/25combined mpg for the AWD TLX.

Compared to the Acura TL, the model it replaces, the 2015 TLX is 3.8 inches shorter while retaining the same wheelbase and front-to-rear passenger-seating distance.

In addition, the body design of the TLX provides 15 percent better in aerodynamic efficiency that that of the TL.

The new 3.5-L engine on the new TLX delivers 10 horsepower and 13 lb.-ft more than the outgoing TL 3.5-L engine. The new 9-speed AT is significantly lighter than the 6-speed AT in the TL. The TLX AWD gains extra 3mpg in the city and 5mpg on the highway compared to the 2014 TL AWD. READ MORE
