Bentley’s SUV receives the Final Nod!
After being two ways about the new Bentley SUV that the company had revealed at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show for a long time, the Volkswagen Group has finally given green light for the production of the vehicle. Rumors about this news had been spread a few months ago when an anonymous employee of Bentley Motors revealed that the company had assured employees with jobs for the production of the new SUV. The employee also said that the company has been preparing vigorously for the production. However, these rumors have now been confirmed as the company itself declared the news to the SUV World.
Although unnamed till now, the new Bentley SUV will be based on the EXP 9 that the company had revealed at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The company said that the SUV will go many minor changes before it goes under production. Bentley made clear that the SUV will look similar to the EXP 9 Concept, but not the same. The concept model had received mixed reviews, but Bentley hopes of gaining appreciation after the vehicle has been produced. Whatever it is, the SUV is going to be mind-blowing! We are talking about a Bentley after all!
Experts anticipate that the SUV will be out in the markets for consumers within a time frame of 3 years. The manufacturing plant in Slovakia which is owned by the Volkswagen Group will be used possibly for the production of the SUV. Just like its sibling, the amazing Bentley Continental GT, this SUV is expected to come in models boasting of V8 and W12 engines. The new SUV will surely be very fast and powerful, and expensive as well. Yes, that’s right. The new SUV is bound to be expensive, it’s a Bentley we’re talking about after all! Again!
An interesting thing to note here is that Volkswagen still hasn’t given a nod to another of its subsidiary, Lamborghini’s new SUV concept, Urus. The group has to make some vital decisions before discarding or approving the Urus. However, even though the Urus is not up for production yet, Lamborghini didn’t refrain from protesting when the patented design of the model was stolen and heavily similar designs were submitted in China. This might point towards a green light for the production of the Urus!
If not Urus, then Volkswagen has at least given the Bentley SUV the final nod. We expect of seeing another magnificent beast like Bentley running down the streets soon! The new Bentley SUV would face fierce competition from other luxury SUVs which include names like Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Touareg, etc. Following Bentley’s footsteps, Rolls Royce has also planned of launching its own SUV. The new Bentley will hence, see immense competition from here as well. If Volkswagen shows green light to the production of the Urus, then the SUV market will feature three of the most elegant SUVs – The new Bentley SUV, the Rolls Royce SUV and the Lamborghini Urus. There is nothing to fret about from now! There are a solid 3 to 4 years before these veihcles come out in the market!
Status Symbol SUVs: Luxury Re-defined
Today’s luxury SUVs aren’t only about comfort. In the best examples, you’ll both find refinement and the latest technologies, mixed with the classic amenities one would expect to find on an automobile that’s defined as being in the “luxury” class. From full-size SUVs to smaller crossover models, some are fancy enough to redefine what it means to own a luxury SUV.
So, which models are really pushing the envelope in terms of luxury this year? Among some of the top contenders are the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The Range Rover is truly the original luxury SUV, and it’s involved into the ideal premium off-roader over the years. The Supercharged model represents the Range Rover in its most opulent form, though the Range Rover Autobiography (special edition) is beyond incredible with its predominately hand-finished luxury interior.
The Range Rover Sport is smaller than the standard Rover, but it has an interior that would put luxury hotels to shame. This model somehow manages to seamlessly blend a sporty style with high-class touches, and, like its bigger brother, is offered in both naturally-aspirated and Supercharged model options.
Also on deck for 2013 is the always-impressive BMW X5. Though some might consider the X6 model to be more luxurious, I can’t help but be a bit disappointed by this year’s model and consider the BMW X6 to be the more impressive of the two. The versatile BMW X5 SUV is just as at home dropping kids off at soccer practice as it is on the race track, and it features some of the most impressive engines available on the market today. This year’s X5 comes with a remarkable three engine choices: two of which are the brand’s six-and eight-cylinder gasoline engines, and the amazingly fuel-efficient six-cylinder diesel option.
Though the 2013 Acura MDX isn’t quite as pricey as the other vehicles mentioned, this crossover SUV isn’t any less impressive. With its exceptionally refined handling (paired with standard all-wheel drive), comfortable and well-appointed interior, and an array of the latest technology features, this year’s MDX certainly stacks up to the competition. It even has seating for seven, though its fuel economy ratings are rather low, coming in at 16 mpg city/ 21 mpg highway.
If you’re looking for an upscale, comfortable mid-size SUV with excellent performance features, you may want to consider the 2013 Volkswagen Touareg, a great-performing SUV with power and fuel economy that are set to impress. There’s a diesel engine available which achieves an impressive 20 mpg city/ 29 mpg highway or a standard V6 engine that’s paired with an eight-speed automatic and achieves 17 mpg city/23 mpg highway. The Touareg’s cabin is full of high-quality materials and an incredibly attractive design. It offers a range of equipment (which is impressive even at the base level).

New Acrua NSX Concept Car
Several years have passed since the original Acura NSX was taken out of production and the US and Hong Kong market where it was sold. Honda now has plans of bringing the NSX back and it is surely going to be better than it ever was! Honda released a concept version of the NSX before, but it was just a tiny bit more than an empty shell. But the company released a new concept model soon which was furnished completely with all the various things that were missing before. Honda plans to maintain an eco-friendly profile with the new Acura NSX. However, the NSX will not lack anything that a sports car needs to have!
The hybridisation model that the NSX would use consists of both – a gas engine as well as a pair of electric motors. Honda will incorporate its SH-AWD Technology (Super Handling All Wheel Drive technology) in the new NSX. Yes, it will come with all-wheel drive versions, cementing the rumours that the Acura NSX will deliver excellent driving experience, handling as well as road grip. The electric motors will be used to drive the front wheels. One motor will be incorporated for one wheel each. The gas engine will be used to drive the rear wheels. “This Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system will make NSX the ultimate expression of Acura’s idea to create synergy between man and machine,” says Mr Takanobu Ito, President and CEO of Honda Motors.
The new Acura NSX is falls under that category of cars that can draw attention to themselves no matter what! Yes, that’s true! The new Acura NSX is arguably the best looking car that the company plans to launch. Blending extreme aerodynamics with unparalleled stylish looks, the Acura NSX looks like the perfect sports car. it features amazing and sharp headlights, bold features and sleek designing. Also, the interiors of the car are extremely sophisticated and elegant. There are no glittery changes made to the interiors so that the driver doesn’t get distracted while driving. However, this simplicity doesn’t imply that the interiors will lack the amazing advance technologies that we always crave for! Being a supercar, the NSX will feature every kind of futuristic technology that a car lover might need!
One of the most noteworthy things about the new NSX is that instead of using a much anticipated V10 engine, it will be coming with a V6 engine. The 3500cc engine would be accompanied by an impressive 7 speed dual clutch transmission. The body will be made up mostly of Aluminium, ensuring light weight as well as robust construction. The 3500cc V6 engine will be producing about 310 horsepower of energy. Also, the two batteries which will be used to drive the front wheels should be able to produce about 100 horsepower combined. Altogether, the NSX will be using more than 400 horsepower of energy. Taking the expected weight into account, it is believed that the car would be able to go from rest to 60 miles per hour in just 3 seconds! Seems like the new Acura NSX is not just stylish and elegant, it is pretty fast as well!
Nissan Resonance Concept Car
Since Nissan has released so many new as well as concept crossover SUV models over the past few years, it seems like the company is on a SUV spree. And if you were thinking that Nissan must now have been running out of ideas for designing and making new crossover SUVs, then you’re wrong! It launched another concept SUV recently, which has received a lot of appraisal from both critics as well as customers. The new Nissan Resonance SUV concept was launched at the 2013 Detroit Show and is said to be one of the best concept SUVs. It also received the EyesOn Design Award for Best Concept Vehicle at the North American International Auto Show. Let’s take a look!
The Nissan Resonance SUV matches a lot with the current Nissan Murano. It is around the same size as the Murano and weighes the same as well. However, these similarities come to an end as soon as we come down to the looks of the SUV. Nissan has proven the fact that even SUVs can look as stunning as a sports car if designed properly. The sharpness that the SUV features probably comes from the diligently carved surfaces which line the body of the SUV. Also, the Nissan comes with the signature boomerang shaped headlights that Nissan has been using recently. Only difference is that these ‘boomerangs’ are a bit more elongated, giving the headlights a much more stylish look. Among the amazing features, the most noteworthy one is perhaps the spectacular glass roof. This is a full panoramic glass roof which covers almost the entire roof of the car. Also, the Resonance boasts of a very modern interior setting, which features all kinds of advanced technologies that one might need. Also, the interiors are made highly sophisticated with the help of excellent quality leather seats and amazingly elegant surface finish. The front grill and the broad wheels also feature some eye catching colour jobs, which add to the overall look of the vehicle.
The Resonance will feature a hybridised engine, which is quite common for concept models which are coming with us now. The new Nissan combines a traditional gas cylinder with an electric motor and a continuously variable transmission. The SUVV is expected to feature an all-wheel drive system. The traditional engine being used is expected to be a 2500cc V4 engine, which is certainly going to be enough for a vehicle of this size. The added power coming from the motor will only enhance the performance further. The SUV also incorporates the one motor-two clutch system and an advanced power management system. No specific facts are known about the performance and acceleration facts about the SUV yet, but they are surely going to be impressive!
Although the new Nissan Resonance looks pretty amazing currently, changes will definitely be made before it undergoes production. We hope with all sincerity that Nissan doesn’t make any changes in the looks and elegance of the vehicle, as the SUV seems to have won many hearts with the way it looks!
Nissan Takes On the Future
Fuel cell development is generating a lot of buzz in the automobile market. This technology involves generation of electricity by hydrogen and oxygen, with water as the only emission. Fuel cell technology could be a major breakthrough in the field of electric and hybrid vehicles.
Nissan has collaborated with automobile giants like Ford and Daimler for the development of fuel cell technology. The three bigwigs of the automobile world have joined hands to come up with a technology that is both affordable and reliable by 2017.
All the three companies with put in equal amounts of money; however the exact amount has not been disclosed. Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn hinted during a press conference that the investment by each company will be around $735.8 million. He only mentioned that the automakers will hire engineers from all over the world to work on the development of this technology.
The news of this collaboration comes shortly after Nissan’s announcement of a restructure in its policies and technology. The project is titled Nissan Revival and this union seems to be a big step in the company’s new policy.
Daimler’s executive, Thomas Weber, revealed during a press conference in Nabern, Germany that the carmakers are hoping to develop over 100,000 vehicles powered by fuel cell technology. Weber said, “This technology has the biggest potential for emission- free driving” compared with other alternative powertrain. This cooperation gives us the opportunity to bind together the know-how of three experienced partners” to enable commercial production of cars running on the powering system”.
The fuel cell technology would be step ahead of the hybrid technologies that are used by Nissan and Daimler. Nissan’s Leaf and Daimler’s Smart are the EVs that are currently the most eco-friendly vehicles in the market. But now it seems like they are taking it a step further and removing pollution completely from the environment.
In today’s automobile market, tie-ups are becoming extremely popular. This reduces development costs for each company and speeds up the development process considerably. This reduces investment and increases sales to a large extent. Thus, it is a win-win scenario for everyone.
Ford Motors is based in the US, Daimler takes up in Germany and Nissan has its base in Japan. Thus, this new collaboration unifies most of the world. Development work will take place in all these locations, thus making this a global tie-up with an international impact.
Mitsuhiko Yamashita, a Nissan executive, stated “Fuel cell electric vehicles are the obvious next step to complement today’s battery electric vehicles as our industry embraces more sustainable transportation.”
Daimler executive, Thomas Weber, said “We are convinced that fuel cell vehicles will play a central role for zero-emission mobility in the future.”
Ford executive, Raj Nair, said, “Working together will significantly help speed this technology to market at a more affordable cost to our customers. We will all benefit from this relationship as the resulting solution will be better than any one company working alone.”
All three executives are geared up for the collaboration, only 2017 will tell what results it yields.
Nissan On Sale: Leaf Prices Drop by $6,400
There has been a lot of speculation about the future of Nissan Leaf. Sales did not look good in 2012 and this did not bode well for the future of EVs in America.
However, it looks like Nissan has taken a brazen step in order to boost sales and increase Leaf popularity. During the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Nissan executives announced a $6,400 price drop for its 2013 base vehicle.
Nissan Leaf, often criticised for its ostentatiously high price has humbled down and now costs merely $28,800. If you exclude tax rebates in some states and $7,500 cut in federal taxes, you can get your hands on Nissan Leaf for $18,800 only.
The 2013 Nissan Leaf will be available in three trim levels- Leaf S will cost you $28,800, Leaf SV is available for $31,280 and the highest model Leaf SL comes with a price tag of $34,840. The most exciting thing about this price cut is that the price of the most expensive 2013 Leaf is lesser than the cheapest 2012 Leaf. It is clear that Nissan has done all it could in the price department to make Leaf more appealing to prospective buyers.
Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn, said during the interview at the North American International Auto Show, “the new prices make the Leaf the least expensive five-seater electric for sale in the US”. The Global Vice President of Leaf sale, Billy Hayes, stated that “From the very outset, Nissan has continuously advanced and refined the affordable zero emissions vehicle ownership experience. Now customers won’t have to pay a premium for owning a green car that’s really fun to drive, and that’s exciting.”
This price slash is essentially due to the geographical shift in Leaf productions. The 2013 models will not be manufactured at the Japanese Nissan plant. Leaf production has begun in Smyrna, Tennessee. The United Stated Department of Energy granted a rebate of $1.4 billion to Nissan, allowing them to produce 150,000 Leaf models and 200,000 batteries at its Smyrna plant. So, as both the car and its batteries will be produced in the US, Nissan will save a lot in production cost. This explains the huge dip in Leaf prices.
Another reason for the Leaf’s desirable and inexpensive price tag is its market performance in 2012. Nissan had estimated a sale of over 200,000 Leafs but it could only sell 9,819 in 2012. This number was nowhere close their goal and only 1.5% higher than the number of cars sold in 2011. Nissan was in desperate need of a miracle, and it looks like this new price tag might do the trick.
The new Leaf will come with 107 horsepower, 187lb of torque and a 48-module lithium ion battery. Nissan executives reveal that due to its improved aerodynamics, the 2013 Leaf will have a longer driving range than its 2012 version. The numbers aren’t out yet but it all looks good on paper. Hopefully, this will give the Leaf the much needed popularity boost.
Mercedes-Benz Will Bring All-New SUV to Alabama Plant
Luxury auto brand Mercedes-Benz has big plans for the next decade. Recently, at a Daimler Group Annual Press Conference in Stuttgart, the company’s CEO Dieter Zetsche laid out the brand’s aggressive plan to introduce 13 new models over the next eight years. All of these vehicles will be completely new to the brand, with no true predecessor model. Some of these vehicles include a reworked Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, a four-door Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class coupe, a revamped flagship Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan, and a completely new Mercedes-Benz SUV, which will be added to the company’s production line in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
According to reports from Dieter Zetsche, the new SUV will most likely be added in 2015 as the fifth of the thirteen new models, and it will be the only new model to be produced in the U.S. Earlier reports stated that a mystery vehicle would be added to the Tuscaloosa County production lines, and now we know what kind of vehicle it will be!
Zetsche explains, “At our plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, we are currently preparing for the production of another new SUV: an especially dynamic all-terrain vehicle. You will hear more about that soon.” The Mercedes-Benz exec. does not elaborate further. A prototype of the new SUV (which is still without an official name) was recently shown to the state’s governor, Robert Bently and several local officials during a visit to Stuttgart.
Currently, the Tuscaloosa County plant produces Mercedes-Benz M-Class and GL-Class SUVs and Mercedes-Benz R-Class crossover vehicles. A new generation of the popular Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan will also be added to the Vance plant later this year, with the first new model likely appearing in early 2014.
Over the next two years, Mercedes-Benz will invest over 21 billion euro in research and development for its equipment and plants to battle BMW and VW for the number one automaker spot. (The company is currently in third place). Zetsche also recently noted that the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class Series will make its world debut in the middle of this year. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is arguably the brand’s most important vehicle.
In a response to the fact that the S-Class is regarded as a symbol of luxury and the symbol of the impressive nature of German engineering, Zetsche also notes, “[Mercedes-Benz] will live up to this reputation once again with this new model: in terms of fuel consumption and safety as well as comfort and design. Plus, there will be unprecedented choice in models at the top end of our portfolio. In the coming years, we will launch five versions of the new S-Class.” The five model variants of the new S-Class are expected to include the standard and long-wheelbase models, a convertible, a coupe, and a flagship limousine.

A Happy New Year for Audi India – It Sold 737 Vehicles in January 2013!
2013 has begun on a brilliant note for Audi India. It is reported to have sold a whopping total of 737 cars all over India in just the 30 days of January itself. This German luxury car manufacturer, which officially entered the Indian market in March 2007, has been steadily expanding its consumer base, thus garnering the second position in terms of sales figures amongst international luxury car brands.
The sale of 737 cars in January 2013, which establishes a 10.5 % growth from last year (when the January sales were 667), is reflective of the expansionist agenda which aims at replacing BMW as the highest sold luxury brand in India. In fact, in January itself, Audi India launched two new international models into the Indian market – Audi R8 and Q5. Moreover, it has launched two new showrooms Audi Mumbai South and Audi Lucknow to further enhance its presence in India. As is evident, Audi India is leaving no stone unturned for reaching the top and it appears that their attempts are succeeding.
As observed by Mr. Michael Perschke, Head of Audi India, “We (Audi India) are constantly enhancing our product line, network growth and creating wider brand awareness; this is creating a larger customer base and is reflecting clearly in our sales. Our growth strategy is finding resonance with discerning luxury customers in India.” These observations are corroborated not only by the soaring sales by also the awards and recognition Audi has been garnering; Audi won eight prestigious awards of the Indian automobile industry in 2012-13.
As of now, Audi has 12 of its vehicles being sold in India; Audi A4, A6, A7 Sportback and A8L, Q3, Q5 and Q7, S4, RS5 Coupe and TT Coupe, R8 Coupe and R8 Spyder. The price range of these vehicles extends from roughly Rs. 27 lacks to over Rs. 1.4 Crores. Currently Audi has a total of 25 dealerships all over India that sell their cars, either exclusively or otherwise. However, by the end of 2013, Audi hopes to have extended its network to 34 dealerships, which shall help in the realization of their annual target; selling 10,800 cars in India by December 31, 2013. Interestingly, their target reflects a 20% increase from the past year’s sales; if Audi India does meet its target, it will have crossed an important milestone of the automobile industry.
2013 seems to have ushered in a new spirit of aggressive marketing and expansion for Audi India. Everything, from its sales figures and market presence to its annual target and executive attitude, is an indicator of the fact that this is going to be a big year for this enterprise. And that, says Mr. Perschke, is exactly the objective and outcome so far, “…based on our current performance we are well on track to achieve the No. 1 position in the luxury car market in India by 2015”. It shall be rather fascinating to see whether Audi India shall live up to its own expectation and claims!

The Most Gas Efficient SUVs of 2013
We’re all worried about it; gasoline prices continue to stay at a steady high, and it’s difficult to think about purchasing or leasing a new vehicle that isn’t quite fuel-efficient enough to satisfy us. So, what’s a troubled driver to do when he/she desires the flexibility, power, and comfort of a new SUV with fuel economy ratings that won’t keep him/her at the gasoline pump? Don’t worry, reader. Here are some of the new SUV models that seamlessly combine all of these attributes:
One of the most impressive fuel-efficient SUV models this year is the 2013 Ford Explorer Sport with EcoBoost. The powerful 3.6-liter EcoBoost V6 engine allows this full-size SUV to achieve 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway. The Explorer has been popular with full-size SUV fans for some time now, but this represents the most efficient model to-date.
The all-new 2013 Mazda CX-5 crossover is also quite inspiring in terms of fuel economy. Fox News states, “The smartly packaged, functional and new-for-2013 Mazda CX-5 earned a combined city/highway fuel economy rating of 29 miles per gallon from the federal government. This puts the CX-5 ahead of competitors such as the well-known Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. It also means the CX-5 ties the 2013 Nissan Juke, which is a smaller-sized SUV, as best fuel-sipper among non-hybrid SUVs.”
Another rather comfortable and versatile new full-size SUV that’s also efficient on gas is the 2013 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid, which easily combines luxury and fuel economy, achieving an hefty 20 mpg city/ 23 mpg highway despite its large size thanks to its 6.0-liter V8 engine that produces 332 horsepower. It can also carry up to eight passengers.
In other crossover news, the 2013 Mitsubishi Sport is a fuel-efficient beast this year thanks to its extremely light frame and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which is rated at 25 mpg city/ 31 mpg highway/ 27 mpg combined. Drivers can also thank the brand’s efficient CVT, which is paired with two-wheel drive.
Finally, it’s worth noting that the updated 2013 Honda CR-V offers an astounding combination of power and fuel economy. With its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that create 185-horsepower, it’s nothing less than impressive. It achieves its 23 mpg city/ 31 mpg highway rating thanks to its Honda i-VTEC engine technology. Even when it”s equipped with the optional all-wheel drive, the new CR-V manages to achieve 25 mpg combined.
Of course, this list is by no means exhaustive. There are many more fuel-efficient full-size SUVs and crossover SUVs from which to choose. For the latest SUV news and reviews, be sure to check out
