A day with the Fourth Generation Range Rover HSE

Special shout out to @abu_abel_ for opening his doors and allowing us review his car for this post.

 The fourth generation Range Rover is arguably a SUV that offers much more than the owner and/or the driver needs. Automakers in the recent times are focusing on building more efficient cars, but the effort probably doesn't matter that much to shoppers considering high-priced luxury SUVs. It's not as though they're demanding lighter, more efficient models, and anyone who can afford a Range Rover is definitely not concerned by daily price fluctuations at the pump. The Range Rover is becoming more efficient, but it also delivers the things that truly matter in this class: stately styling, incredible performance and a luxurious cabin. Its varied skills continue to set it apart.

 As is Range Rover tradition, the interior is richly appointed in leather, aluminum and wood trim. Electronic screens have a prominent role, starting with the instrument panel; it uses a 12.3-inch screen to simulate conventional analog gauges. Audio and navigation features are among those consolidated to an 8-inch touch-screen in the middle of the dashboard. The screen responds quickly to most commands, but it slows down when you're entering an address into the navigation system.

Ahead of the LA Auto Show, peep into the 2019 CLS

Image
Mercedes-Benz doesn’t seem able to contain itself from showing us its redesigned CLS ahead of the debut in a little over a week at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show. The third generation of the iconic fastback sedan has been testing in the wild for over a year and now we have our first clear look at the interior. It follows Saturday's first official look at the exterior. While the exterior of the car doesn’t appear to be straying far from the shapely albeit somewhat subdued lines of the outgoing model, the interior appears to be taking a marked step up in quality and design. The turbine-style air vents and digital dash looks very modern. You’ll also notice the dual screens, one for the instrument cluster and the other the infotainment system, are enclosed within a single pane of glass just like on the latest S-Class models. We’re still waiting for all the details but the new CLS, which goes on sale next year, as a 2019 model, is expected to be fitted a...

The terms 4WD (four-wheel-drive) and AWD (all-wheel-drive) are similar technologies- which involve the transmission of power to all the wheels of a car, unlike that of other vehicles in which either the front or rear wheels are driven. Most SUV's and Pick-up trucks offer 4WD or AWD systems, some compact cars like the Audi A4, Mercedes C-class,Toyota matrix and Mitsubishi Lancer have AWD variants as well.
