In the new Alfa Romeo Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4, the tried-and-tested DNA control for selecting drive programs becomes a symbol of efficient sportiness. The functions behind each mode have been revised in light of the vehicle's specific drive technology to further enhance efficiency and performance. Depending on the position of the DNA control, the response of the Q4 all-wheel drive system, the engines, the transmission and the electronic driver assistance systems are automatically calibrated using preset parameters. This avoids the distraction from road traffic that manual management of individual menu items might cause. The DYNAMIC mode makes full use of the vehicle's performance capabilities while tuning the steering to be particularly direct. NATURAL mode activates all-wheel drive. The interaction of the combustion engine and electric motor is controlled automatically with a focus on energy and fuel savings without sacrificing performance. In ADVANCED EFFICIENCY mode, the new Alfa Romeo Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4 is programmed for maximum energy efficiency in all-electric driving mode. This mode also allows entry into environmental zones where only electric driving is permitted. ADVANCED EFFICIENCY also provides two additional functions. In so-called sailing, the drive is completely decoupled when the accelerator pedal is released to allow the vehicle to continue rolling with less resistance. When driving downhill, a light press on the accelerator or brake pedal activates the electronic hill descent control (eCoasting Descent Control). The new Alfa Romeo Tonale Plug-In Hybrid Q4 then maintains a constant speed of 50 km/h
For enthusiasts who crave soul-stirring, legendary off-road performance and a new level of on-road performance, Jeep® introduced today the V-8-powered 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 for customers in the North American market. The most-capable, quickest, most-powerful Wrangler carries the 6.4-liter V-8, rated at 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft (637 Nm) of torque. Mated to the crisp-shifting TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission and Selec-Trac full-time active transfer case, the powertrain rockets the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.5 seconds and the quarter-mile in 13.0 seconds. Plus, this potent combination comes with a factory-backed warranty. Away from the pavement, the Trail Rated® Wrangler Rubicon 392’s potent powertrain meshes with heavy-duty wide track Dana 44 axles, a 3.73 final drive ratio, transmission torque converter lockup control, a 2-inch (5 cm) lift and standard 33-inch tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels. The result is the most-capable Jeep Wrangler ever with 10.3 inches of ground clearance, improved suspension articulation and maneuverability, approach/breakover/departure angles of 44.5/22.6/37.5 degrees and the ability to traverse up to 32.5 inches (82.5 cm) of water.
The new GLC is immediately recognisable as a member of the Mercedes-Benz SUV family. Standard equipment includes the AVANTGARDE exterior with Chrome package including chrome window surrounds and a new, chrome-look simulated underguard. This adds striking design features and enhances the unique proportions of the vehicle. One of the defining design highlights of the GLC is the redesigned front end, with headlamps that connect directly to the radiator grille to emphasise the vehicle’s width, and the new radiator grille as part of the standard AVANTGARDE exterior, which now has a chrome surround and a sporty louvre in matt grey with chrome trim. The AMG Line has a radiator grille with Mercedes-Benz pattern. The body design is characterised by a full, spanned surface design enriched with precisely shaped edges in the sides. These emphasise the proportions, accentuate the muscular wheel arches and create a balance between elegance and off-road performance. Wheel arch liners in the vehicle colour are available from the AMG Line upwards for the first time. These accentuate the sportiness of the AMG Line, as optional equipment in conjunction with mixed tyres. Also available as an optional extra are easy-entry running boards and, from the AMG Line upwards, a Night package.
