PERFORMANCE

Luxury Performance:
Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Sedan

April 1, 2020 by admin 1 Comment

AMG puts its stamp on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class line.

Fast coupes and sedans once held sway on American roads, but crossovers have largely eclipsed them, at least in terms of availability. But not every manufacturer is neglecting cars, with Mercedes-Benz a fitting example of a luxury marque that’s staying the course.

Mercedes-Benz models with performance credentials are marketed as Mercedes-AMG, with Benz dropped in favor of Daimler’s high-performance AMG brand. Daimler owns Mercedes-Benz, AMG, as well as Maybach and Smart. As for AMG, the brand hires its own engineers, who develop handcrafted engines and other performance systems for this special line of vehicles.


2020 Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Sedan Review


Recently, Auto Trends had the opportunity to drive a 2020 Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Sedan. Based on the famous C-Class line of small midsize models, you’ll also find coupe and cabriolet variants. This series is noteworthy for its 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 engine. AMG also offers a C 43 version that has a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine. For this review, our focus is on the C63 Series.

Exterior

Take a Mercedes-Benz sedan and swap it out with a sporty grille marked by a large tristar emblem and you have the beginnings of what an AMG-inspired model offers. Dramatic LED lighting, a wide lower air intake, custom wheels, and “gold” brake caliper covers are among the distinguishing features.

The current C-Class does an excellent job of borrowing styling attributes from the larger E-Class and S-Class lines. A long hood and a short rear deck are brand trademarks and look great on this model. Body sculpting and distinct character lines suggest a vehicle in motion.

Among the upgrades are an Exterior Lighting Package ($900), which includes adaptive high beam assist and LED lighting.



Interior

“Attention to detail” has long been a Mercedes trait. Happily, the C 63 series reflects this and then some.

On paper, the C 63 seats five, but the middle position on the back seat isn’t nearly as comfortable as the outboard seats. Instead, use that seat for the wonderful arm-rest and cup-holder that drops down with ease.

Big vent dials, chrome trim, and copious amounts of double-stitched leather dominate the cabin. The circular theme is at once sporty and elegant. Try as I might, I kept forgetting that the transmission lever wasn’t the wiper stalk. The lever is on the right side of the steering column and just as thin as a wiper stalk.

Generously bolstered and padded front seats are AMG staples. The thrones offer excellent support from the back of your neck and down to your thighs. I’ve sat in other seats that wear me out after a while (here’s looking at you, Recaro), but the AMG performance chairs didn’t do that to me.

If you are relegated to the back row, you had better hope that the front-seat passengers don’t require extra legroom. Otherwise, expect your knees to press firmly against the seatback. When not in use, the 40/20/40 split fold-down bench seat supplies access to the trunk, which measures a modest 12.6 cubic feet.




Tech

Paying northward of $70,000 for a new vehicle means enjoying fine features befitting its price point. The AMG doesn’t disappoint as it has a 10.25-inch display, an exquisite Burmeister audio system with satellite radio and HD Radio, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone compatibility.

There are, however, a few things that come at an extra cost. Under a $1,250 Multimedia Package, Mercedes offers navigation, a touchpad controller, navigation maps, and live traffic updates supplied by TomTom for three years. Separately, customers may opt for a panorama roof ($1,000), inductive wireless charging ($200), a 12.3-inch digital dashboard ($750), and a head-up display ($1,100).

Safety

Beyond eight airbags and a rearview camera, this AMG comes with a suite of driver-assist features. These include blind-spot assist, active brake assist, adapting braking technology, and crosswind assist. For the remaining features, you’ll need to examine one or both packages.

A Parking Assistance Package ($1,100) combines active parking assist, a surround-view system, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Driver Assistance Package ($1,700) includes steering assist, braking assist, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot assist, and related features.



Performance

A turbocharged V8 engine suggests tremendous power and that’s exactly what Mercedes-AMG delivers here. In standard C 63 form, this engine makes 469 and 479 horsepower. When offered in C 63 S guise, AMG ups the power quotient to a whopping 503 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.

Sadly, there isn’t a manual transmission to be had. Instead, AMG marries this engine to a quick- and smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Power routes to all four wheels, with a rear-wheel-drive bias. An adaptive damping suspension and an electronic locking rear differential are standard.

The C 63 S is extraordinarily powerful and fast. Its step-off acceleration zooms it to 60 mph in under four seconds. While at highway speeds, a slight tap of the gas pedal will have you passing with ease. There is so much power at the ready that you must take care to control your speed. Even the slightest downward push of the pedal will have this sedan rocketing well above 80 mph. There aren’t too many jurisdictions in the U.S. where that misstep won’t result in a heavy fine.

The joy of back road driving quickly becomes evident as this performance sedan tackles twisty roads and pulls out of corners. The wheels are locked down as you perform your maneuvers with the front and back ends remaining stable as you slalom your way forward. Some of my most challenges courses include 90-degree turns – here, you barely need to take your foot off the pedal — and as long as the roads are dry, no braking is necessary.

Without the benefit of switchbacks, you might not fully appreciate what this sedan can do. Direct steering, spot-on and nicely weighted handling are just two of its chief attributes. Find a parking lot at your local dead mall to give it a go – that’s exactly what I did and the results were fantastic. Big brakes bring this sedan to a quick and firm stop – AMG left nothing out. A roaring engine and a percolating exhaust system simply add to the AMG mystique.

Competitive Set

The C 63’s archrival is the BMW M4. The two manufacturers are bitter opponents. Well, maybe not bitter, but strong competitors with a claim to sports sedan supremacy on the line. But you cannot leave out a third German model, the Audi RS5, when considering this segment. The trio are worth exploring although there are also models from other manufacturers that can make a case too.



Our Recommendation


If you’re already looking at this AMG sedan, then your pockets are deep enough to spring for the upgraded C 63 S, our test model. But that’s a $7,400 difference and you’ll still have to pay extra for the three packages mentioned earlier. Also, you gain only a 0.1-second edge on your 0-60 mph time, which is ultimately inconsequential when comparing these two choices.

Mercedes-AMG
GLC 63 S Coupe Performance SUV

February 5, 2020 by admin 2 Comments

2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S Coupe.

AMG is the performance division of Mercedes-Benz and earns its place in the product line by substituting its name for Benz. Thus, you have vehicles such as the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S Coupe, which immediately suggests a high-performance model.

Carried out further, the GLC, in this case, represents the GLC-Class, a collection of near-midsize luxury SUVs with room for five. The 63 denotation stands for a higher expression of performance, at least with the GLC, as the 43 is the standard model. Then there is the 63 S, which adds 34 horsepower and 37 pound-feet of torque, while shaving the 63’s 0-60 mph time by 0.2 seconds to 3.6 seconds.

Got it? Well, just to add some confusion to the mix, this model isn’t a coupe. Instead, it has a coupe-like roofline with four doors and a liftgate at the ready. Whew!



AMG Without the Benz

A 2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S Coupe was a January visitor to our test fleet, a bright red model that certainly offsets the dreariness of this wintry month. No snow was encountered, but that’s a good thing: it came dressed in summer (performance) tires that are typically swapped out once temperatures stay below 44-degrees Fahrenheit (more about that later).

As mentioned, the Mercedes-AMG GLC is offered in 43, 63 and 63 S configurations. The “43” comes with a 3.0-liter bi-turbo V6 engine with an output of 385 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque. Power routes to all four wheels utilizing a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Choose the 63 S, and the performance quotient rises sharply thanks to a 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 engine making 503 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Again, power is shuttled to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. Yes, that’s a big load of power under the hood, something you’d expect in a sports car, but not necessarily in an SUV.



Key Design Elements

The AMG immediately makes a statement with its front fascia dominated by a broad grille with vertical bar slats amplified by a massive tristar logo. Along the lower corners, deep cutouts add visual interest, while dramatic LED lighting and a unique AMG badge placed near the leading edge of the hood complete the frontal expression.

The AMG’s profile supplies the most accurate demonstration of this model’s sporty grit, with oversized wheels, a raised beltline, and a descending roofline adding drama. From the rear, an enormous diffuser with quad exhaust tips and a spoiler put the final touches on this model.

Moving inside, the interior holds five, although it is most useful for four. You’ll find the best seats in the first row with its generously padded and bolstered leather-covered chairs supplying ample support through the twists and turns. The entrance to the second row is somewhat more challenging on account of the falling roofline. However, once inside the seats are comfortable for two and can hold three in a pinch.

AMG dresses the cabin with premium materials, including real chrome and carbon fiber. The heavily-padded steering wheel, along with huge oval vents, and a detailed digital instrument cluster are simply a few of the many remarkable features throughout the interior.

Tech & Safety Gear

You’d expect high-end tech features in a Mercedes-Benz model. The AMG simply ratchets the offering a notch or two higher. The result is an exquisite Burmeister audio system, a 10.25-inch touch-screen display, Bluetooth connectivity, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone compatibility, a navigation system, and a 115-volt power outlet. That’s nearly every amenity offered as standard equipment.

AMG also outfits the 63 S with a host of driver-assist safety features, including lane keep assist, blind-spot assist, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision assist, and automatic emergency braking. That’s a good chunk of the safety gear for this utility vehicle.



On the Road

Anticipation is the operative word with any performance model. But that anticipation is sometimes mixed with perplexity as I wondered how Mercedes can pull things off with a high-profile vehicle.

No, there isn’t any doubt that the handcrafted AMG engine can’t supply awe-inspiring off-the-mark acceleration. Instead, the concern is how well this SUV performs on twisty roads and while cornering. Happily, this AMG acquitted itself nicely.

Right from the start, the 63 S’ engine roared to life with a cacophony of sweet music from the exhaust system. It isn’t quite as raucous as some performance models, but it doesn’t leave any doubt that copious amounts of power is at the ready. Some systems are obnoxious, especially when tuned to toot, rumble, and belch at the flick of a dial.

An AMG DYNAMIC SELECT dial is present with the 63 S, supplying such settings as comfort, sport, and sport plus to manage various settings. Those settings include the aforementioned exhaust note, throttle response, and suspension settings. Comfort is, of course, the default setting and where the dial is most likely to rest. But flick it to one of the sport modes when twisty roads beckon to find the right mix of steering wheel heft, shift control, and exhaust boom.



I’ve always wondered why some of my test vehicles come with summer tires in the dead of winter. Sure, temperatures rarely stay below freezing in my area, but some days start quite cold before rebounding later.

A few cold starts were the only reminders I needed to put off my driving until later in the day as the heavy clomping of tires designed expressly for warm weather is never a good sign. And for one important reason: the tires simply are a drag when temperatures fall. And for another reason: you risk damaging or even destroying them in cold weather. Make the swap in the fall and swap them out again in the spring. In some areas, winter tires are the better choice than three-season radials. Yes, that puts a crimp on racing, but what are you doing driving fast on icy roads in the first place?!

The AMG picks up speed lighting fast. Before you know it, you’re at highway cruise, but that’s tame for this model. This SUV begs for track time where speed isn’t an issue and twists and turns are a certainty. Alas, I’m not permitted to go tracking with my test models, but there are plenty of desolate backroads where I can evaluate its accelerating, steering, handling, and braking in peace.

On one such stretch of curvy road with the AMG perfectly centered, the 63 S proved its worth. The dialed-in and reassuringly weighted steering wheel signaled it was time to engage spirited driving. Through every twist and turn, the SUV stayed on point. Cornering was a breeze as well, although slowing this SUV is advisable as the unavoidable body roll comes in. Still, the suspension system does an admirable job damping as it goes and makes pulling out of corners a non-event. No, you won’t hug the road as tightly and confidently as you would with an S-Class Coupe, but you won’t sweat bullets wondering if you’ll dive off-road either. That said, keep in mind that this is a high-profile vehicle, therefore the law of physics holds sway.

Parting Thoughts

The Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S Coupe fulfills its mission, staying true to its performance roots while delivering the utility some may crave. You’ll pay the price to procure one as it costs $84,100, plus a $995 freight charge. That’s $7,600 more than the standard 63.

Our test model came in at $96,425, as it included such extra features as a head-up display ($1,100), 21-inch forged cross-spoke wheels ($2,250), a driving assistance package ($1,700), parking assistance ($1,290), and an exterior lighting package ($800).

Where Luxury Meets Performance:
Audi SQ5 SUV

December 28, 2018 by admin

2018 Audi SQ5
The all-new Audi SQ5 is big on performance and luxury.

It isn’t too often that I get a performance vehicle, but when one arrives, I rub my hands in delicious anticipation of the drive ahead.

Most of my performance test models are coupes and sports cars, such as the Ford Mustang and Jaguar F-Type, or a hot sedan such as the Dodge Charger Hellcat. But now I’m starting to see “hotted up” utility vehicles, which makes sense as SUVs represent the fastest-growing segment.

If you’ve followed me for long, you know my preference for cars and pickup trucks over everything else. Alas, the market shift means I’ve had to adjust and that requires testing an endless stream of crossovers and other people movers. Happily, manufacturers understand that some customers still want performance and, to its credit, Audi is accommodating our need for speed with the SQ5.

2018 Audi SQ5 Overview

Based on the compact Q5 utility vehicle, the 2018 Audi SQ5 represents the performance side of the model line. It is the only Audi SUV line with a performance variant, with the latest-generation model introduced for the 2018 model year.

The current version replaced the previous supercharger with a turbocharger, giving this model a noticeable boost in torque along with a slight improvement in fuel efficiency. This all-wheel-drive model is still powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

2018 Audi SQ5Like other Audi models, this one is available in three trims: Premium ($53,395), Premium Plus ($59,195), and Prestige ($63,095). Our prices are for the 2019 model as this is the one you’ll most likely find on dealer lots at press time. You’ll find various package options for further customization, depending on the trim.

For instance, the base model offers a Convenience Package ($1,500, keyless entry with push-button start, automatic dimming and power-folding side mirrors, driver’s memory seat, satellite radio, and Audi pre sense rear with side assist).

2018 Audi SQ5The middle Premium Plus and top Prestige trims offer an S Sport Package ($3,000, red brake calipers, sport adaptive air suspension, sport rear differential). Also, a Black Optic Package ($600, 20-inch Anthracite wheels, summer performance tires, matte black roof rails, titanium black exterior trim).

My Prestige test model had more than $8,000 in upgrades, including the S Sport Package, Driver Assistance Package ($1,800), Fine Nappa Leather Interior ($1,250), Dynamic Steering ($1,150), the 21-inch Wheel Package ($1,000) and Carbon Atlas inlays ($500). If I were to build one, I would start at the Premium Plus level. Then again, the Prestige trim brings in the banging audio system, the leather upgrade and the driver assistance package.

Design Highlights

Based on the crisp, elegant look of the Audi Q5, the SQ5 brings in its own styling elements. That said, the differences are not readily apparent, especially to those not familiar with the brand’s lineup.

Beginning with the front fascia, the SQ5 has standard high-intensity density headlights or available LED lights. LED lights also fashion the rear. Special alloy wheels set this model apart and exterior badging is also unique to this trim.

Inside, the changes are much more apparent, beginning with the fixed display screen on top of the center stack. In most other Audi models the screen retracts, while this one stays in place. This trim also comes with a three-spoke multifunction flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters, diamond-stitched front sport seats, aluminum inlays, and aluminum touches.

As for passenger comfort, tall passengers may find the rear seating area small. It is most suitable for two passengers, not three.

2018 Audi SQ5

Safety & Technology

Audi loads the SQ5 with top equipment, including a virtual cockpit, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, 4G LTE technology, and Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto smartphone integration. The cockpit display is a gem as it supplies a sport display mode, which brings the tachometer and speedometer to the front.

As for driver assistance systems, Audi includes adaptive cruise control, an automatic emergency braking system, side assist with blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and traffic jam assist. These are features which typically accompany top models such as the SQ5.

Performance Matters: 2018 Audi SQ5

The chief selling point for the Audi SQ5 is its performance. Sure, exterior and interior styling and amenities are important, as is technology and safety. But make no mistake about this: the only reason to consider the SQ5 over the standard Q5 is that you put a greater value on performance.

Happily, the 2018 SQ5 does not disappoint. In fact, it thrills — and for an SUV that’s no small matter.

To begin, the SQ5 has a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine with an output of 354 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. While horsepower stays the same for the current model, you’ll notice a 23 pound-feet improvement in torque. That’s what happens when you swap out the previous supercharger for a turbocharger.

2018 Audi SQ5

Engage the ignition and a quiet rumble coarses through the SQ5’s body. Move the transmission into gear and step on the gas pedal, and the turbos quickly spool up. There is generous amounts of energy at hand and, thanks to low-end torque, it keeps on giving. Audi says this SUV runs the 0-60 mph sprint in about 5 seconds and that’s in line with what we experienced.

Weighted steering supplies the connectivity to the road you want. This SUV shines on the straightaway, delivering robust power and much more when needed. On curvy roads the SQ5 acquits itself as it hangs with every twist and turn. Yes, some body roll is evident — that’s to be expected with any high-profile vehicle. Happily, the rolls do little to negate the fun.

One nice touch with the SQ5 is the available rear mechanical limited-slip differential. It sends power to the outside wheels when cornering, which is what gives this SUV a planted feel. The air suspension system is another plus and it is adjustable. Here, ground clearance can lower to 7 inches from the standard 8.2 inches, for a closer connection to the road. Again, this is no sports car, but the performance elements are a welcome change.

Parting Thoughts: Audi SQ5

The list of Audi SQ5 competitors is quite small and includes such models as the Mercedes-AMG GLC43 and the Porsche Macan S. The latter is, of course, a Volkswagen Group model as is the Audi. You can also consider the Jaguar F-Pace S.

A performance SUV is a natural complement to Audi’s RS models. The SQ5 clearly demonstrates that a high profile and strong performance are not mutually exclusive. You’ll pay the price to acquire one, but that shouldn’t surprise anyone looking for a luxury, performance SUV.

Hyundai Veloster N: Namyang Performance

January 24, 2018 by admin 4 Comments

Veloster N brings Hyundai’s performance division to North America.

2019 Hyundai Veloster N
Special trim and skirting dressed the 2019 Hyundai Veloster N.

“N” stands for Namyang, the location of Hyundai Motor’s global research and development (R&D) Center in Korea. The “N” also represents Hyundai’s performance division, the automaker’s equivalent of Ford’s ST and Volkswagen’s GTI lines. Starting this year, the first model bearing that appellation rolls out when the 2019 Veloster N debuts.

2019 Hyundai Veloster N

The Veloster N represents the apex of the 2019 Veloster line, which also includes Veloster, Veloster Turbo and Veloster R-Spec models. The Veloster makes its return after a brief one-year hiatus. Indeed, although there was no 2018 model, the 2019 Veloster arrives in the first quarter. However, you’ll have to wait until near the end of the calendar year for the Veloster N as production begins in September at Hyundai’s Ulsan manufacturing plant.

The Veloster is a compact, three-door coupe with one rear door located on the passenger side. Yes, it is a quirky design, but it works. As for the “N” it builds on that style by adding an exclusive N-design front fascia and grille with functioning front air duct to augment brake cooling.

2019 Hyundai Veloster N

Along the sides, the Veloster N supplies unique rocker side sills along with available 19-inch machine-finished alloy wheels. The wheels are shod within Michelin SuperSport summer tires for the 18-inch design and Pirelli P-Zero summer tires with the 19-inch wheels. From the rear, you’ll find an N-design rear spoiler, an integrated rear diffuser and a high-flow dual exhaust system.

Inside, the Veloster N delivers such exclusive features as N-design cloth sport seats with performance-focused bolstering. Other N-exclusive designs extend to the door sills, steering wheel, shift knob and instrument cluster. A blue accent theme runs throughout the cabin.

Veloster N: Under the Hood

Hyundai fans will be delighted to know that just not any turbocharged engine sits under the hood of the Veloster N. Here, you’ll find a larger engine than the standard

Hyundai Veloster Dissection: All-New Second-Generation Model

, this one displacing at 2.0 liters. The performance numbers are the current estimates, but Hyundai’s target is 275 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 260 pound-feet of torque from 1,450 to 4,700 rpm. Hyundai pairs this engine with a short-throw 6-speed manual gearbox with downshift rev-matching capability.

2019 Hyundai Veloster N

The high performance numbers put the Veloster N well above the Golf GTI (220 hp/258 lb.-ft.), but just behind the Golf R (292 hp/280 lb.-ft.). One can imagine that an all-wheel drive Veloster version is waiting in the wings. If so, the Golf R and Focus RS make for ripe targets. Yes, Auto Trends does see this happening!

Suspension and Braking

Of course, with all that power, the hot hatchback’s steering and handling attributes must hold up. To that end, Hyundai ensures the Veloster N stays planted with its electronically controlled suspension and differential, with the latter imbued with torque vectoring to keep it fixed to the pavement when carving corners and taking on twisty roads.

You’ll find 13-inch rotors up front and 11.8-inch rotors at the rear. If you’re a track maven, then opt for the available 13.6-inch rotors for the front and 12.4-inch rotors for the rear. Controlling it all is the N Grin Control System, a drive control selection system with Normal, Sport, N, Eco and N Custom.

2019 Hyundai Veloster N

Bringing Back the Veloster

If you can’t wait until late this year for the Veloster N, the other Veloster models begin arriving in the coming months. A pair of 1.6-liter engines are in the offing, the standard engine makes 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, while the Veloster Turbo makes 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque and comes with a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

All in all, the next-generation Veloster offers a big improvement over the original model and is also tasked with bringing Namyang goodness the brand.

Hyundai Kia to Launch a Performance Line?

February 9, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

High profile BMW engineer beats feet to South Korea.

Hyundai Genesis

Imagine a performance-spec Hyundai Genesis.

If you mentioned 10 years ago that Hyundai would incorporate a line of premium vehicles astride its mainstream products, likely you would have been dismissed as an ignoramus. At the same time, had you had postulated that Kia would one day have a product line that was deeply admired, not a few people would have thought that you were delirious.

Fourth Place is Fine. For Now.

Today, both Hyundai and Kia have turned things around to where the Korean manufacturers — conjoined at the hip by business and engineering arrangement, but designed and marketed separately — are an industry juggernaut to be reckoned with. Of course, the larger Hyundai brand has taken the lead in supplying the platforms and powertrains for all Hyundai Kia models. Nevertheless, the Kia composition on the universal vehicle structure theme has succeeded, perhaps best exemplified in the Kia Soul urban utility vehicle.

The Hyundai Kia Automotive Group is now the fourth largest automotive manufacturer in the world, selling more cars than Renault-Nissan, the Ford Motor Company, and Honda. Although they are not quite primed to challenge the global triumvirate of Toyota, Volkswagen and GM, the Koreans have certainly made a name for themselves.

Performance Aspirations Courtesy of BMW?

One area where the two marques have lacked cachet is in performance. Certainly, stock Kia Optimas and track-ready Hyundai Genesis Coupes have raised the duo’s performance credibility. Yet, there is no high-performance luxury line to take on the likes of such venerable players as BMW’s M Series, Cadillac’s V-Series or Mercedes-AMG to battle these stalwarts.

However, change is in the air once again for Hyundai Kia as the company has lured Albert Biermann from BMW’s M performance group to the Hyundai Motor Group, as head of vehicle test and high­ performance development. Biermann begins his tenure on April 1, 2015. Mark Phelan, writing for the Detroit Free Press surmises that it is a new position, given that “high performance” was not previously part of any Hyundai employee’s job description.

The Biermann appointment has speculative tongues wagging, but who can blame them? The two brands have cast their respective proletarian dispositions to the side, in a successful effort to develop passenger vehicles that are stylish, efficient and offer excellent value. Moreover, the two brands routinely fare well in each of the important consumer surveys conducted under the auspices of J.D. Power and Consumer Reports, among a few others.

Better Performance to Luxury Performance

With the Biermann appointment, we may eventually see a side of the Hyundai Group emerge that goes beyond the ordinary to deliver the extraordinary.

For instance, just imagine a Hyundai Genesis or a Kia Cadenza outfitted with a European-spec sport suspension, twin turbochargers and a six-speed manual transmission. And include with that a stunning interior outfitted with Recaro bucket seats, carbon fiber trim and the most amazing instrument panel this side of a BMW M5.

While launching a separate performance line or lines seems possible, it isn’t logical. At least not in the interim.

Indeed, with several good models already in place, improving driving dynamics and handling within the existing lines is a priority. As Phelan noted these particular shortfalls are essentially the only reason why people don’t buy the Hyundai Genesis. Yet, in all other areas that sedan matches the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Cadillac CTS and BMW 5 Series in quality and clobbers them on price.

Moving Up the Pack

Hyundai Kia appears committed to elevating the Korean marques, thereby broadening its customer base. And if customers find them with the quality that matches Lexus along with performance that competes with BMW, the Hyundai Kia Automotive Group just may have a legitimate shot at eventually overtaking GM, Volkswagen and Toyota.

Looking Back: The Best of 2014 Auto Trends

January 8, 2015 by admin 1 Comment

Toyota 4Runner

4×4 fun in a Toyota 4Runner.


Sixty models came and went in 2014. Those 60 represented my weekly drivers, an array of utility vehicles, coupes, sedans, sports cars, pickup trucks and vans that I had the pleasure (or misfortune) of driving. All joking aside, even the most sedate of the fleet models usually had something to offer, typically excellent fuel efficiency and a low price.

I am often asked, “what is your favorite car?” Honestly, I do not have one. Generally, however, there are two types of conveyances that stir my heart, if not raise my blood pressure: 4x4s and rear-wheel drive performance models.

And by 4x4s I don’t mean crossover utility vehicles. Instead, they should be traditional body-on-frame models such as the now-retired Toyota FJ Cruiser, what provide the most fun. If I can safely take it off road, enter and exit a mud slough without drama, and keep the frame intact, then I am golden.

Rear-wheel drive models always stoke my interest. Pair a naturally-aspirated V-6 or larger engine with a manual transmission, and my “happy quotient” will have been met. Add in a sport-tuned suspension, exceptional handling characteristics and a cat-back exhaust, and you will peg my “thrills and chills” meter. Moreover, I will also do my best to find a police-free circuit to open her up — don’t ask me any questions, because I’m not about to tell you.

Dodge Challenger Core

Top performer: Dodge Challenger Core.

Automaker Expansion Continues Apace

I only drive a small number of vehicles compared to the hundreds of models manufacturers serve up these days. Personally, I am amazed at how automakers continue to expand model lines. Certainly, if I have difficulty keeping up with the latest and the greatest, then the average driver will find it nearly impossible to do so as well.

Several brands entered my press fleet rotation in 2014 for the first time. They were: Kia, Mazda, LandRover, Jaguar and Volvo. For 2015, I hope to add Mercedes-Benz, Honda and Acura, as well as drive additional Mazda and Kia models. GM, Toyota, Nissan, Fiat Chrysler and Subaru are well represented. I am currently working on driving more Ford and Lincoln products. In addition, I would drive Mitsubishi, Tesla and, of course, Porsche models if and when these were offered to me.

Jeep Grand Cherokee

Jeep topped more than 1 million global units sold in 2014.

New Arrivals for 2016

Given that this site is “Auto Trends” and that I write for three or four other periodicals throughout the year, I keep pace with industry happenings by attending press events and auto shows, and by interviewing various movers and shakers in the automotive realm. For that reason, among the upcoming models that have my piqued my interest include the Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Camaro, Nissan Maxima, Jaguar XE, Infiniti Q60 Coupe and the BMW X1.

Also on the horizon is an all-new Chrysler Town & Country minivan, the BMW M2, the next generation of both the Ford Focus and the Ford Super Duty, an updated Honda Odyssey, as well as a Volkswagen model that is based on the CrossBlue concept.

Audi Q3

This Q3 is yet another new model from Audi.

Consolidation or Collaboration: Who and What?

I also anticipate that some major industry revelation will be disseminated this year to advance collaboration or consolidation between select manufacturers.

Fiat Chrysler (FCA) has a weak presence in Asia and could very well liaise with Mazda, perhaps even Suzuki. The Volkswagen Group might make for an effective global partner, but do not rule out GM, Ford or some other manufacturer demonstrating interest in FCA. On the other hand, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai-Kia seem prepared to maintain the status quo and most likely will eschew formal partnerships. At least for the near future.

US auto sales may top 17 million units in 2015, but an overheated stock market is due for a significant correction. Once that happens the sales momentum would cease and the streak of year-over-year increases would abruptly and forcefully come to an end.

As for you my patient and dear readers, thank you for following Auto Trends in 2014. Your continued patronage is simply appreciated.

Hockey Stick Graphics Package Delivers Boss 302 Eye Candy

June 5, 2012 by admin 2 Comments

Specifications of a 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302.

2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302
If you like tribute cars or vehicles that take its styling cues from another era, then the Ford Mustang is right up your alley. The 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 edition takes paying tribute one step further by embodying the spirit of the 1970 Boss 302 edition with its new, reflective hockey stick graphics package. Ford chose School Bus Yellow as its paint scheme, ideal for parents who chase down the school bus to bring Johnny his forgotten lunch. Not really! Instead, the color scheme is a heritage color outfitted on a truly modern road-ripping masterpiece.

Engine and Transmission

Performance is what you want and the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 delivers it in spades. This model is outfitted with a 5.0-liter (302 cubic foot) V-8 engine that bangs out 444 horsepower at 7,400 rpm and 380 foot-pounds of stroke at 4,500 rpm. This double overhead cam engine is paired with a short-throw, close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission for optimum shifting capabilities.

Other features that enhance the Boss 302’s driving characteristics include a limited slip 3.73 rear axle that makes use of carbon fiber clutch plates, with optional Torsen differential available. This model features firmer coil springs and suspension bushings at all four corners, a larger diameter rear stabilizer bar, manually adjustable shocks and struts, 19-inch racing wheels set within Pirelli P Zero summer tires, and 14-inch vented font rotors with Brembo 4-piston calipers. A front splitter and a rear spoiler are standard.

Model Dimensions

Like all current Mustang models, the Boss sits on a 107.1-inch wheelbase and is 188.5 inches long, 73.9 inches wide and 55.8 inches tall. You get 81.0 cubic feet of passenger volume and enjoy a 13.4 cubic foot trunk.

Unlike most other Mustangs, the Boss 302 seats two adults as Ford removed its rear seat. That’s good because all other ‘Stangs make the rear seat a torture test for everyone except your small children.

Model Highlights

Along with its bright yellow paint scheme you can choose a Boss Laguna Seca model that offers sterling gray accents. Its reflective graphics package is a first for a modern production car. When an oncoming car’s headlights hit the stripes they come to life.

Inside, the Boss features heated Recaro seats with gray logos built right in. Hands-free connectivity is a must and Ford SYNC offers voice-activated calling via any Bluetooth-connected mobile phone. You can control the USB-connected digital music player by voice too, enabling you to keep your hands on the wheel and stick at all times.

The cabin offers a soft, one-piece instrument panel with two oversized analog dials that flank a digital driver’s information center. An available Shaker audio system with HD radio features six speakers and two subwoofers. Manual air-conditioning is standard.

Convenience features include a pair of covered upholders, map pockets, two power points, a locking console with full armrest and storage, illuminated sun visors with storage, scuff plates, and bright clutch, brake and accelerator pedals.

Confessions of a New MINI Cooper Owner

January 14, 2011 by Andrew Rosen Leave a Comment

After several weeks of debate, I decided to make the plunge: I bought myself a MINI Cooper.  Like most first-timers, I was hesitant.  Do good things really come in small packages?  Here are a few things you might not know about owning a MINI Cooper.

1. THE MESSAGE. The marketing doesn’t stop — even after you buy the vehicle!  The MINI gang does a great job of reminding you that you are now part of a new family.  They are always sending cool little gifts.  From the MINI Adventure Kit that arrived six weeks after I purchased my Hardtop S to the stuffed bulldog and pewter keychain given to me at the dealership – these guys know how to get their message across.  There is even a glossy MINI magazine mailed twice a year.

2. THE SPEED. To say that the MINI is “peppy” is an understatement.  Thanks to a short body and 181 horses, passing other cars on the highway is a breeze. I am a cautious driver.  I love that the engine is reactive and responsive, all while giving me a feeling of control.

3. THE GAS. The miles you squeeze out per gallon are determined by your driving style.  City results have been respectable, but it’s the highway mileage that has really impressed me.  I’m easily getting 35 miles per gallon.  I sure don’t miss the gas station.

4. THE ACCOLADES. I already knew that the MINI attracts attention – but I had no idea how many heads it would turn and how envious friends, family and strangers would be.  People are genuinely excited to get a close look and step inside.  I might not be the coolest cat in town, but I think my street cred just went up a notch.

5. THE WEATHER. Snow, sleet, ice – no problem. I had serious reservations about my run-flat tires.  But so far, so good.  The MINI has performed like a champ in all types of weather.  As long as you take it nice and easy, and stay away from high snow drifts, there’s no reason your MINI can’t escape from the garage on a snow day.

6. THE TANK. When I close the door on my MINI, I feel like I have entered a fortress of solitude.  Every entry and exit is a reminder that I have not sacrificed safety to be some eco-friendly hipster.

7. THE SPACE. Yes, the car is small – but it is a model of successful ergonomics.  I’ve yet to run into an everyday storage situation that the car couldn’t handle.  The seats flip down with ease and having a hatch open is crazy convenient.

I don’t want to be a full-on MINI cheerleader, so let me tell you about a few things that I am not enamored with.  When I first test drove the car I found the center console, with the supersized speedometer a bit, well, off center.  I have had a difficult time getting used to it, and have found that it benefits the passenger far more than a driver.

Also underwhelming has been the MINI’s heating system.  The thing takes a long time to heat up; given the cabin size, that’s unacceptable.  The saving grace has been the heated seats (a must have!).  I’d also like for the standard stereo to pump out a more dynamic sound.  Aside from the volume being relatively low, I find that I am often missing extreme highs and lows – even on satellite and HD radio.

Overall the MINI is the perfect car for my lifestyle,  Unless there are triplets in my future, I can see owning a MINI for life.
