Unveiling The New 2021 Models The All New 2022 Acura MDX SH-AWD STATUS: New for 2022 —The newest iteration of Acura’s cornerstone vehicle — arriving in early 2021 as a 2022 model — continues with room for up to seven passengers across three rows of seats.The styling is highlighted by an angular grille that’s similar to the one installed on the new-for-2021TLX.There’s a longer, lower and wider body and a new platform to which an equally new front (double- wishbone) suspension is attached.The MDX’s wheelbase has also been extended by three inches, which increases second- and third-row legroom. Interior fittings include a digital control panel, premium leather seat covers and wood-and-leather trimmed door panels, console and dashboard. Powertrain choices start with a 3.5-liter V-6 producing 290 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Available this summer with the newType S trim is a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 rated at 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet. A 10-speed automatic transmission is linked to both engines. All-wheel-drive optional with the non-turbo V-6 but and standard in theType S. Every MDX comes with AcuraWatch driver-assist technologies, including road-departure mitigation, pedestrian detection and low-speed braking control. Base Price (including destination): $46,500 (est.)

Advance SH-AWD Status: Acura’s redesign of the RDX utility vehicle for the 2019 model year injected a strong dose of styling to dovetail with its practical nature and stellar performance.The interior is as radically different as the outside, with a dashboard replete with swoops and swirls. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 272 horsepower through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel- drive is standard, while Super Handling All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) is optional. In normal traction conditions it sends 70 percent of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels but can direct up to 100 percent to the outside rear wheel when turning. This yaw control increases cornering precision and stability.The stiff platform and sport-tuned suspension contribute to the vehicle’s exceptional ride and handling qualities, especially over choppy roads. Even the base RDX comes with dual-zone climate control, panoramic moonroof, 12-way power-operated and heated front seats, power tailgate and 19-inch wheels.The sharp-looking A-Spec trim adds more technology and unique exterior styling, although no more performance.The Advance trim level provides a head-up display (pertinent information is projected onto the windshield), active dampers that constantly adjust to varying road conditions, and a 16-speaker ELS-brand premium audio system.

Compared with the outgoing mode, there’s a nearly three-inch gain in length. Width increases by just over two inches and the distance between the front and rear wheels is up a not- insignificant 3.7 inches.TheTLX runs with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Available this Summer Opt for theType S and you get a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 with 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet. Each engine uses a new 10-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.The latest version of Acura’s Super Handling All-wheel-Drive is optional with the turbo 2.0 but is standard with the Type S and its V-6. BaseTLXs come with a number of dynamic safety technologies (e.g. emergency braking, lane-keeping assist and road-departure mitigation).The Technology, A-Spec and Advantage trims add plenty of comfort content, but the Type S is the only model that gets sport-appearance body trim, high-performance 20-inch wheels, leather- and suede-trimmed seats and Brembo-brand brakes. Base price (incl. destination): $38,500 Ty pe: Midsize sedan Engine (h.p.): 2.0-liter I-4, turbocharged (272); 3.0-liter V-6, turbocharged (355) Transmission: 10-speed automatic Drivetrain: Front- /all-wheel-drive Base MPG (city/highway/combined): 22/30/25 (est.)

UNVEILING THE NEW 2021 MODELS 2021 Honda CR-V STATUS: The fifth-generation CR-V continues as one of the most popular members of the compact-utility-vehicle segment. Although not the first such model in its class (the Toyota RAV4 hybrid has been around for a while) the CR-V hybrid has many attributes for buyers to consider, including a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors that generate a combined 212 horsepower.That compares with the gasoline CR-V’s 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 190 horses.The Hybrid’s battery is positioned beneath the cargo floor, which allows the 60/40 rear-seat to fold flat. Both powerplants are connected to continuously variable transmissions. Front-wheel-drive is standard with gasoline CR-Vs, while an upgrade to all-wheel-drive is a relatively affordable option.The Hybrid has standard all-wheel-drive. All CR-Vs come with Honda Sensing, which includes active-safety technologies such as emergency braking, road- departure mitigation, lane-keeping assist and traffic-sign recognition. Base price (incl. destination): $26,500 Ty pe: Compact utility vehicle Engine (h.p.): 1.5-liter I-4, turbocharged (190); 2.0-liter I-4 with electric motors (212) Tr ansmission: Continuously variable (CVT) Layout: Front- /all-wheel-drive Base mpg (city/highway/combined): 26/32/28 (1.5, FWD) Base weight (lb.): 3,310 2021 Honda Ridgeline STATUS: Restyled for 2021 —The second-generation Honda Ridgeline.

  • Minivan Motoring, Or Why I Miss That Old Car Smell by Sam Patteson
    e-Vision volume eight 1 Minivan Motoring, or Why I Miss that Old Car Smell by Sam Patteson It is very difficult to look “cool” while driving a minivan, and I never bothered to try. “Cool” is overrated anyway. What’s not overrated is the urban camouflage a minivan affords. “No one suspects the soccer mom,” Joe deadpanned as he rolled us a joint on the open door of the glove box. I had to agree as I pulled the van into the Shell station to gas up before our long trip to Charleston. I let the tank fill while I checked the various reservoir levels for brake fluid, antifreeze, power steering, and the like. As usual, I needed a quart of oil. Rednecks on last minute beer runs cruised through the parking lot as I returned from the store. Joe blasted Frampton Comes Alive through the open windows. Pete’s guitar had something to say, and the van was rocking. I poured the oil into the engine, slammed the hood home, and slid into the driver’s seat. I turned to quiz Joe on last minute preparations. We had planned this trip for months, and I didn’t want to forget anything. “Suitcases?” He turned to look back at the empty rear of the van. We had removed the back seats in favor of a twin-sized bed. Our suitcases nestled securely between the bed and the back door. “Check.” Pillows and blankets? “Check.” Wallet, money, keys? “Check.” Er… extras? “Check!” Joe coughed and handed me the joint. I took a deep drag and handed it back.

  • Drive Train Analysis and Vehicle Dynamics for the C,Mm,N 2.0
    Drive Train Analysis and Vehicle Dynamics for the c,mm,n 2.0 R.P.C. van Dorst, B.J.H van Laarhoven R.A.M Meesters, M.W.F. Mol DCT 2008.142 Master Team Project report Coaches: dr.ir. I.J.M. Besselink dr.ir. T. Hofman Supervisor: prof.dr. H. Nijmeijer Technische Universiteit Eindhoven Department Mechanical Engineering Dynamics and Control Technology Group Eindhoven, November, 2008 Abstract The c,mm,n project was initiated in 2005 by the foundation of Nature and Environment (Stichting Natuur en Milieu, SNM) as an answer to the 2005 AutoRAI, where there was little attention for environmentally friendly cars. SNM asked the help of the three universities of technology in the Netherlands to develop a sustainable car for the future. This first phase of the c,mm,n project is called c,mm,n 1.0 and many aspects of the c,mm,n 1.0 car became research topics for graduate students. The results of c,mm,n 1.0 were presented at the 2007 AutoRAI. In November 2007, the c,mm,n 2.0 project was launched. SNM plans to make a new presentation of c,mm,n 2.0 on the 2009 edition of the AutoRAI with the desire to show a driveable prototype. To assist SNM in this task, this report presents a new drive train option which is analyzed and compared to the two c,mm,n 1.0 drive trains. Additionally, the vehicle dynamics of the c,mm,n vehicle are analyzed. The two c,mm,n 1.0 drive trains are a fuel cell supercapacitor hybrid (FCSCH) drive train and an internal combustion engine with cylinder deactivation (ICE) drive train.

  • All-New 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Named North American Utility Vehicle of the Year
    All-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Named North American Utility Vehicle of the Year Panel of esteemed automotive experts select the Chrysler Pacifica as the 2017 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year 2017 marks only the second time a minivan has won the award, with FCA US minivans also receiving the honor in 1996 The all-new Chrysler Pacifica, the most awarded minivan of 2016, reinvents the minivan segment with an unprecedented level of functionality, versatility, technology and bold styling January 9, 2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The all-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has been named the 2017 North American Utility of the Year by a panel of automotive experts. The award is unique and considered by many to be one of the world’s most prestigious based on its diverse mix of automotive journalists from the U.S. and Canada who serve as the voting jurors. The winners were announced at a news conference today at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. “When we first introduced the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica just one year ago, we believed that we had created the perfect formula for today’s busy families,” said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands, Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and Fiat, FCA - North America. "But it’s the recognition from our customers and respected opinion leaders like the NACTOY jury that helps to reinforce Pacifica’s status in the marketplace as the no-compromises minivan, and highlights what a great job the entire team has done in developing, building and selling the all-new Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid.” This is the 24th year of the awards.
