In the fifth generation, the Kia Sportage is being offered for the first time with a plug-in hybrid drive, which is also the top motorization of the SUV. The largely electrified drive range also includes petrol and diesel mild hybrids as well as a non-hybridised entry-level petrol engine. Depending on the engine, the new Sportage is available with front or all-wheel drive and with a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The standard all-wheel drive plug-in hybrid has a six-speed automatic transmission. The agile 1.6 T-GDI from Kia, which is available in two power variants with 110 kW (150 hp) and 132 kW (180 hp), is used in all petrol engines, including the plug-in version. The highly efficient four-cylinder engine works with CVVD (Continuously Variable Valve Duration) valve control. This technology makes it possible to switch seamlessly between different combustion cycles depending on the engine load. This increases performance at low to medium engine speeds and reduces fuel consumption at the same time. The efficiency of the turbo petrol engine was further increased by optimizing the combustion process and the cooling technology, as well as by measures to reduce friction, including an integrated heat management system and the use of a low-friction ball bearing

The new Volkswagen Golf R Variant Design Preview

14 July 2021 76 Views

With 235 kW (320 PS), the new Golf R Estate is the most powerful and dynamic Golf Estate to date. More power and driving dynamics, numerous innovations, more space and strong emotions: this is what makes the new Golf R Estate better than ever before. The standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive with R Performance Torque Vectoring is powered by a 2.0 TSI engine with a maximum torque of 420 Nm. Power is transmitted via an R-specific 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. With the optional R Performance package, a top speed of 270 km/h is possible. The package also includes 19-inch wheels and the additional driving modes Special (Nürburgring mode) and Drift (for power slides). A host of assist systems and the latest-generation Infotainment system guarantee even more safety, comfort and convenience.

Kia Sportage Interior GT Line diesel engine

13 May 2022 67 Views

A number of new technologies optimize the precision and control of the chassis in a wide variety of weather and road conditions. The standard electronic damper control (Electronic Control Suspension, ECS) in the GT-line version increases comfort and safety thanks to the continuous damping control. The system reacts to body movements and steering inputs and changes the damping behavior at lightning speed in order to counteract the vehicle's diving, pitching and rolling movements when cornering. It also adjusts the damping force in the case of obstacles in order to cope with them as comfortably as possible and to reduce the influence of post-vibrations on the wheels. A premiere for the Sportage is the “All-Terrain-Mode”, which will be available for the plug-in hybrid version with all-wheel drive. The system offers intelligent support when driving off-road or on snow by automatically optimizing the vehicle settings depending on the selected mode and thus helping the SUV to achieve maximum traction on muddy, sandy or snowy surfaces.

Ford F-150 Lightning Davis Dam Towing Testing

25 March 2022 32 Views

Whether hauling snowmobiles to the cabin in the dead of winter or the pontoon to the lake in the dogdays of summer, the 2022 F-150® Lightning™ is tested to have customers covered. To help prove it, Ford engineers took the first all-electric F-Series to two of America’s toughest real-world towing routes during development – Davis Dam in the summer and TFLTruck’s Ike Gauntlet™ in the winter. Last month, Ford engineers took preproduction F-150 lightnings to what some call the world’s toughest towing test — TFLtruck’s Ike Gauntlet™ towing test — with windchills registering below zero degrees Fahrenheit. The Ike Gauntlet is an 8-mile stretch of I-70 in Colorado that ascends at a 7% incline to a maximum elevation of 11,158-ft. above sea level around the Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel. Towing in wintery conditions, however, is only one part of the equation. To prove the truck’s muster towing in extreme heat, Ford took the F-150 Lightning to the extreme grades of Davis Dam. With ground temperatures reaching a high of 118-degrees Fahrenheit during testing, F-150 Lightning preproduction units towed the same 10,000-pound trailers for multiple loops across the dam. Davis Dam, located on State Route 68 between Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam, ascends from 550 feet elevation to 3,500 feet in 11.4-grueling miles.
