The change appears to be enough going on sasis and body. New CR-V has a high stability owing to the higher center of gravity is lower and the distance the foot diperlebar. Level of body rigidity of the steel wall of resistance combined with high-design body aerodynamics, to give strength to the performance as well as sprightly.

The use of aerodynamics parts at the bottom of the body to reduce drag coefficient of 10% compared to the previous model, while mereduksi air flow under the body for stability when driving at high speed.

Body stiffness and sasis has increased overall to minimize engine vibration in the cabin, while the sound insulator that has also been applied to create a silence in the cabin while driving.

Sentence "It's About Prestigious" indeed deserve disandang MPV Mitsubishi grandis, which offers an attractive design and technology fresh. This is evidenced by the supply from Thailand, which is only about 150 units each month, it pro Mitsubishi grandis in Indonesia is 650 units penetrate the numbers.

MPV is positioned at the top of this class, it has all the necessary groups established. In addition to having advantages in design, Mitsubishi also grandis memboyong technology that is still fresh in the Mitsubishi range of products that are marketed in Indonesia.

Space in no less special. Dashboard design forced wave forms berhiaskan illumination in the instrument panel, control air practical, and knop transmission gate with an elegant type, so that they can generate the field and feeling comfortable in it.

Spaciousness and comfort in the real space with seats capable of design made in some configuration that is done with very easily. Each seat can be set independently, so that they can easily put personal goods.

Machine:

Grandis promote the MIVEC engine (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control System) with a 2.4 liter. Grandis engine technology is the termodern in the range of products that Mitsubishi has been marketed in Indonesia.

MIVEC system is able to optimize the output by using variable time ignition. On lap using the low-interest low / medium to create a valve time with a small overlap, maximize bahanbakar, Torque, and the ignition the gas defecate low minimize the cold start.

On lap high (above 3,600 rpm) to change the profile to the high camp, which makes the valve with a large overlap. This overlap gives benefits to the speed of the air supply to increase the flow to the cylinder with each lap that increase output.

Grandis also equipped with a smart transmission INVECS-II 4A / T. Intellegent System Innovative Vehicles & Electronics Control System (INVECS-II) makes the operation of the transmission and easy to make anyone feel comfortable at the wheel grandis. This transmission can be operated manually to prove the transmission needs of a more spontaneous acceleration.

Safety:

Some question the safety grandis already achieved this. Euro NCAP four-star rating providing Rise (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) Body. 6 star rating given by NASVA Test, test the security of the Japanese government.

Achievement is achieved owing to the application features a complete safety and reliability. Features include the passive safety that includes dual airbags for the driver and passenger in the front, the seatbelt pretensioner and force limiters, and ABS brakes with EBD enhanced.

Toyota gave the world the opportunity to try a number of media pre-production version of Toyota iQ. This is the effect of media on the microcar. Pace of Toyota in Europe is still quite challenging. Toyota has continued to conquer the continent consumers. With the growing trend in community-economical car fuel, low emissions of CO2, and brief-dimensional bid to give new Toyota, Toyota iQ.

Since the concept version appeared in 2007 in the Frankfurt car exhibition, iQ continue to harass think people want to know. How might the little car to accommodate four people? How does the level of security? What happens when the car is semungil frontal collision? Is dikabinnya are comfortable enough? And more.

Toyota Toyota iQ prepare for the European and Japanese markets. The car so the vehicle least four people in the world. This is the answer to Japan's Fiat 500, the Smart ForTwo, and Volkswagen Up! Toyota iQ "But Toyota iQ is not the version of the Smart ForTwo four seats," says the chief engineer of Toyota iQ, Hiroki Nakajima. "To ensure a sustainable future, radical changes are needed vehicle packaging. We need to make a breakthrough, which is different from the traditional assumption that the car is a small supermarket mouth. "

Koichi Suga, head of R & D design team describes the tersulit to design a car length of less than 3 meters it. "Every time we want to refine the car, improving handling and safety is, ultimately seemed more cars so long," he said.

So the task of the Toyota engineers to create a technical breakthrough. The first they do is create a small size differential for the front wheel of a car berpenggerak this. Differential make this new interior iQ 4 inch longer than the Yaris. Plus the corner and setting back the radical suspension. Another breakthrough is the fuel tank shaped flat, which was installed in the back seat, asymmetric dashboard, seats and seat from the car-more thin. Even the size of AC 20% smaller.

Towards the production version was launched in 2008 Paris Auto Show, 2 October future, Toyota will invite a number of international media to try to pre-production version in Japanese, including Edmunds.com, the automotive sites prestigious USA.

Toyota iQ9 air bag
Despite the size of the micro, iQ save nine airbags, including knee airbags for the driver. Airbags are also embedded in the seat, passengers under the thigh to prevent the decline of passenger seatbelt in the frontal impact and curtain airbags for rear passengers. Although small, Edmuns estimate iQ can get five stars in the EuroNCAP tests tabrak (European New Car Assessment Program).

In Europe, Toyota iQ present with the 1.0 liter engine choice of three cylinder segaris transmission 5MT with diesel or a 1.4 liter 4-cylinder turbo with the 6MT. Mid-2009, followed by three variants of 1.3 liter 4-cylinder with VVT-i paired with 6MT or CVT transmission. While in Japan will get a 1.0 liter variants of the 3-cylinder paired with a CVT.


Behind the wheel
According to Edmunds, who tried to version 1.0 liter CVT, the engine is very smooth, CVT responsive, but a little noisy. Akselerasinya accordance with the size of the machine, more than 14 seconds to reach 100 km / hour.

According to Edmunds, Toyota iQ the dimensions of the micro does not mean the narrow cabin. Pre-production version of the pilot test is recognized feels spacious, even for people Kaukasian size. The distance between the eyes across the top of the dashboard to the glass front of a relatively long, reinforcing the impression relieved. Quality interior materials and used very well, especially the center console.



Seat-seat from the car is very comfortable with a wrapping cloth or combined with the skin. Because the asymmetric dashboard, front seat passengers can be more movable forward. So penumpanga still get a seat behind the field. Of course space behind the driver more narrow and biasayang used for small children or purchase goods.
Toyota iQ will be marketed in Japan mid-October and in Europe several months later.

V-shaped "six" good leads 1770 kg Captiva, coupled with the 5-step automatic transmission and car Pick accelerates to 100 km / h in less than 9.

Normally, a car Pick Tractors, and only when the driving wheels are stalled, electronics engages the rear wheels, which can be transferred up to 50% torque, as required. No locks, and the reduction of Captiva not. If necessary, you can include assistance with the downhill (it artificially lowers the speed and car pastors in the downhill, braking the engine and the wheels to the car did not deploy across the slope). The Chevrolet Captiva Sport responds to the fast increasing demand for a distinctive and stylish sports utility vehicle which is available with the economical yet powerful common-rail 2.0L turbo diesel engine or,alternatively, the smooth 169 hp V6 engine.
