      2022 Mercedes C-Class Overhauled with New Tech and a Fresh Design

      by

      The 2022 Mercedes C-class is redesigned inside and out and features a more efficient turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
      The exterior design is more aggressive, while the interior swaps out many of its physical buttons in favor of an 11.9-inch touchscreen housing the latest version of MBUX software.
      The 2022 C300 and C300 4Matic are expected in U.S. showrooms in early 2022. Mercedes has not yet shared pricing details.
      Mercedes has taken the wraps off the redesigned 2022 C-class sedan. The biggest-selling vehicle in the automaker’s lineup has received a major makeover that includes a sportier exterior design, increased interior space, and a host of updated technology features that were initially introduced on the 2021 S-class. The 2022 C300 and C300 4Matic C-class sedans are scheduled to arrive in U.S. dealerships in early 2022. Prices have not yet been released.
      The new sedan’s wheelbase is 1.0 inch longer than its precedessor’s, while the body is 2.5 inches longer, 0.4 inch wider, and has an 0.4-inch-shorter height than before; we think the new model has a more athletic stance. Cargo space is unchanged, but rear headroom and legroom have increased by approximately 0.5 inch and 0.8 inch respectively.

      Mercedes C-Class to Get Four-Cylinder Engines Only

      2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Shows Off Its New Look

      The 2022 C300 and C300 4Matic are equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine that produces a respectable 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. These numbers keep it competitive within its segment against competitors including the Audi A4, BMW 3-series, and Genesis G70. The new C-class cars feature the Mercedes 48-volt electric starter/generator EQ Boost system, which is capable of adding up to 20 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. Mercedes claims that the engine is 10 to 15 percent more efficient than the previous four-cylinder without hybrid assist. A nine-speed automatic is the sole transmission choice. More powerful AMG models, along with coupe and cabriolet variants, are expected in the future.
      The design of the 2022 C-class borrows heavily from the smaller A-class, and the new look does away with a slightly bulbous rear end of the previous-generation sedan. A sharper, more angular-looking front end and cleaner profile give the C-class the look it needs to compete visually with offerings from BMW and Audi.
      The biggest changes are seen inside, mirroring the more minimalist design aesthetic seen in the 2021 S-class. An 11.9-inch touchscreen has taken over the center of the dash, pushing the three air vents up above the display. Meanwhile, the center-console touchpad and controller knob found in the previous C-class have disappeared completely. The result is a less cluttered center stack with few physical buttons. The screen uses the latest version of the company’s MBUX software, which Mercedes says has more processing power than the previous generation.

      The tactile controls that remain include knobs and buttons for the drive mode, camera view, vehicle settings, hazard lights, and audio volume. There’s also a fingerprint scanner used for logging into individual driver profiles. Behind the leather steering wheel resides a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

      Is This the New Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class?

      Standard equipment includes 18-inch wheels, heated front seats, a sunroof, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functions. Available options include a head-up display, additional driver-assistance systems, 19-inch wheels, nappa leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, and AMG body styling and interior trim.
      Mercedes has yet to announce pricing, but we’re guessing that the rear-wheel-drive 2022 C300 will start at around $43,000 while the all-wheel-drive C300 4Matic will fetch $45,000. Both are expected in U.S. showrooms in early 2022.

      Is This the Next Mercedes-Benz GLC Hiding behind the New C-Class?

      by

      Mercedes-Benz teased a silhouette image of a new GLC-class SUV sitting behind the new 2022 C-class sedan.
      The second-generation GLC-class will share its mechanicals with the new C-class, meaning it’ll be powered by a new hybrid four-cylinder.
      We should learn more about the new GLC by the end of the year, and pricing should remain in the mid-$40,000 range.
      The Mercedes-Benz C-class sedan just received an upscale redesign, and its GLC-class SUV counterpart will follow soon. Mercedes hinted at the small SUV’s new generation, shown sitting behind this photo of the 2022 C-class sedan’s side profile. The new C-class-based SUV should arrive by the end of the year to increase the competition against other small luxury German SUVs such as the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Porsche Macan.

      Mercredes-Benz

      The current-generation GLC (pictured above) replaced the GLK-class for the 2016 model year, and since then we’ve seen subtle changes to its exterior, new infotainment tech, and the addition of a new base turbo four-cylinder borrowed from the C-class sedan. The GLC-class is Mercedes’s top-selling car in the U.S., and the new model is likely to continue the small SUV’s success in the States. If it looks anything like the new C-class, which it should, it’ll be sharper and more aggressive than its predecessor.

      It’ll share its mechanicals with the recently unveiled C-class sedan, meaning the base GLC300 model will be powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder paired with a 48-volt hybrid system making 255 horsepower. Rear-wheel drive will be standard, with Mercedes’s 4Matic all-wheel-drive system available. Of course, we should see higher-performance models from AMG, too, though they’re expected to replace the existing eight- and six-cylinder engines with a more powerful hybrid four and to add fastback coupe variants.

      The C-class’s new 11.9-inch central display (pictured above), which looks similar to the S-class’s 12.8-inch screen, should find its way inside the GLC-class along with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. It’ll be slightly larger than the current model’s standard 10.3-inch touchscreen, and the rest of the 2022 C-class’s upscale new interior should carry over onto the GLC.
      We should know more about the new Mercedes-Benz GLC-class by the end of the year. The starting price shouldn’t change much, staying in the mid-$40,000 range. The 2022 C-class is expected to start at around $43,000.

      Hyundai IONIQ 5 Electric Car Debuts With 470 Kms Range

      by

      Hyundai IONIQ 5 Electric Car
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 goes on sale later this year in developed countries

      Hyundai has revealed its ambitious Ioniq 5 electric vehicle which is the first offering under the Korean automaker’s electric sub-brand. The mid-sized electric crossover is expected to spearhead the Ioniq brand of EVs in future. The company had earlier revealed its intention of launching 23 new electric cars between now and 2023.
      Exterior Styling
      Available in both rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive configurations, Ioniq 5 sports a futuristic design with a contrasting blend of retro-inspired styling which derives most of its elements from the Hyundai 45 concept. This includes its overall silhouette and angular creases running across its profile.
      It marks a departure from the traditional design of Hyundai cars and features pixelated headlights and taillights, unique daytime running lights and a clamshell bonnet which is a first for the Korean brand. Ioniq 5 rides on aero-optimized 20-inch alloy wheels that further resonate with the Parametric Pixel design theme. Its unique proportions and short overhangs are due to an extended wheelbase which also translates to ample space inside the cabin.
      Speaking of proportions, Ioniq 5 measures 4635mm in length, 1890mm and 1605mm tall in addition to a very generous wheelbase of 3000mm. It is built on an Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) that will also underpin future EVs from both Hyundai and Kia.
      Hyundai IONIQ 5 Electric Car
      The upcoming Ioniq 6 saloon and Ioniq 7 SUV will be underpinned by the same architecture. As usual with most electric cars, it features a skateboard layout giving a flat interior floor.
      Interior & Features on offer
      Hyundai carries forward the minimalist approach of its exterior design to its interior and yet is in line with all modern premium cars around. The dashboard is dominated by a twin-screen setup which includes a large 12-inch touchscreen infotainment unit and an equally large digital instrument cluster. Majority of the components inside the cabin have been made from wool, recycled plastics, eco-processed leather, and other sustainable sources.
      Another interesting feature in its equipment is a head-up display compatible with augmented reality. This functionality projects information on navigation on the windscreen.
      Hyundai IONIQ 5 Electric Car
      Furthermore, the infotainment features the latest version of Hyundai’s BlueLink connected car tech which offers new functionalities such as Routing and Last Mile Navigation. It also displays information on the nearest charging station including availability and estimated charging time.
      Powertrain Setup & Performance
      Coming to its powertrain, it features a single or twin (in AWD variant) electric motor setup which draws its power from either of the batteries- a 58 kWh or a 72.6 kWh. When paired with the former, it can produce an output of 167 bhp and can clock a 0-100 kmph sprint in 8.5 seconds.
      Hyundai IONIQ 5 Electric Car
      On the other hand, when paired to the larger battery pack it returns a massive output of 302 bhp and 605 Nm of peak torque. This version of the SUV could accelerate 0-100 kmph in just 5.2 seconds and can clock a top speed of 185 kmph.
      The maximum single-charge range offered in Ioniq is claimed to be around 470-480 km according to WLTP cycle. Its charging time is one of the quickest in modern contemporary EVs. Using a 220kW DC fast charger, it takes only 18 minutes to replenish the battery from 10% to 18 percent. Hyundai claims that to obtain a range of 100km users need to charge for only 5 minutes. More

      2021 Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 Adventure – Production Spec Unveiled

      by

      2021 Harley Davidson Pan America
      The new Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 locks its horns with BMW R1250 GS, KTM 1290 Adventure and BMW Multistrada

      Harley Davidson has officially revealed its flagship adventure motorcycle Pan America 1250. A direct rival to BMW R1250GS, Pan America 1250 was first announced three years ago and is part of the manufacturer’s new product expansion strategy.
      Available in two variants standard and Special, Pan America 1250 is a completely new bike that has been designed and developed from scratch. The engineering team of H-D has crafted this bike keeping in mind the utility and ability of iconic American adventure motorcycles.
      Design
      Speaking of its design, Pan America sports a design that is completely unique to contemporary adventure tourers. The most attractive highlight being the flat LED headlight beam which can cover a very wide aperture of what’s ahead.
      Two-piece split seats, upswept muffler and exhaust pipes finished in gold are other attractive highlights. The bike has been predominantly covered in matte finishes.
      2021 Harley Davidson Pan America
      Mechanical Configurations
      The ADV is underpinned by an exposed frame with a bolt-on rear subframe and a cast-aluminium swingarm that shrinks unsprung weight. The suspension setup is a fully adjustable one from Showa that has been tuned for preload, compression and rebound damping at both, front and rear ends.
      At front it gets 47mm USD forks while the rear gets a mono-shock, both having an impressive travel of 190mm. Special variant is equipped with a semi-active unit that automatically adjusts the damping and riding style in accordance with road conditions.
      Braking power is received from Brembo radial monobloc four-piston calipers which are chewed down by twin 320mm discs at front and a single 280mm disc at rear. It rides on 17-inch front and 19-inch rear 5-spoke alloy wheels that are wrapped around by tubeless tyres of 120/70 and 170/60 profiles respectively.
      2021 Harley Davidson Pan America
      Underneath that sturdy frame is an all-new 1250cc V-Twin DOHC engine that spits out 150 bhp at 8750rpm and a peak torque 128 Nm at 6750 rpm. It is mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slipper which unlike its BMW nemesis, sends power to the rear wheels rather than front.
      The engine also performs more duties than just producing energy. It has been integrated as a stressed member of the chassis and has been bolted to the front frame, mid-frame and tail sections.
      2021 Harley Davidson Pan America
      Features on offer
      Being a flagship, it comes with a bunch of electronic aids to enhance its off-road and ride capabilities. These include ride-by-wire, cornering ABS, traction control system and multiple riding modes namely- sport, rain, road, off-road and off-road plus. Riders also get the option to customise an off-road mode for themselves that lets them configure TCS, ABS, torque delivery, throttle response and suspension settings as per their preference.
      These can be selected through the bike’s 6.8-inch TFT touchscreen unit which is compatible with navigation, Bluetooth connectivity for calls and music. However, the touchscreen gets disabled once the bike starts moving and then it needs to be toggled through the switchgear. Other features on offer include an adaptive LED headlight, cruise control as standard and heated grips on the Special trim.
      2021 Harley Davidson Pan America
      Even though the American bikemaker has quite independent operations in India, this new adventure tourer is expected to make it to Indian shores at a later stage and retailed by Hero MotoCorp. Harley has priced this new beast at £14,000 ( equivalent to INR 14.27 lakh) for the base variant and £15,500 (Rs 15.80 lakh) for the Special variant. More

      2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Kicks Off EV Lineup in Eye-Catching Style

      by

      Hyundai debuted the new, all-electric Ioniq 5 today in South Korea, marking the beginning of its all-electric Ioniq subbrand.
      The Ioniq 5’s modern look is drawn in large part from the Hyundai 45 concept.
      The U.S.-market Ioniq 5 will make up to 300 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque and has a 77.4-kWh battery. It is slated to go on sale this fall, with other Ioniq models coming in 2022 and 2024.
      Hyundai has 23 global electric vehicles on the way between now and 2025, and today we are seeing the first of those: the Ioniq 5, a new electric compact crossover that made its debut in South Korea. The Ioniq 5 will be sold in both rear- and all-wheel-drive versions, sports a futuristic design, and comes with fast-charging capability thanks to one of the quickest systems in electric vehicles today.

      Hyundai Will Build Three EVs under New Ioniq Brand

      Hyundai Unveils EV Platform, Says 23 EVs Coming

      The Ioniq 5 derives much of its design from the Hyundai 45 concept, including its overall shape with its sharp, angular lines running throughout, the pixelated taillights, and the unique daytime running lights. The Ioniq 5’s wheelbase, which stretches just over 118 inches, is longer than the Hyundai Palisade’s, but its overall length—just over 182 inches—is 14 inches shorter than that SUV. The Ioniq 5 is six inches longer than the Tucson but still two inches shorter in height. So its dimensions put it somewhere between a crossover and a hatchback, but not fitting perfectly into either category.
      The Ioniq 5 rides on the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) that will underpin forthcoming electric vehicles from both Hyundai and Kia. In the Ioniq 5, this platform gives the EV 77.4 kWh of usable battery, good for between 290 and 300 miles based on the WLTP rating system. Typically, U.S. EPA ranges are lower than those from the WLTP. For example, the Hyundai Kona Electric, which has a 64.0-kWh battery, sees a WLTP estimate of 301 miles while the EPA estimates range to be 258 miles.

      Hyundai

      Charging up that battery will take less time than many of the Ioniq 5’s competitors, with charging times similar to those of pricier EV entries including the Porsche Taycan and the new Audi e-tron GT. Like those sedans, the Ioniq 5 has an operating voltage of 800 volts, and when hooked up to a 350-kW charger, the Hyundai’s battery can go from 5 percent to 80 percent in 18 minutes. The Porsche Taycan needs 22.5 minutes to do the same.
      The Ioniq 5 can be had with either rear- or all-wheel drive. In the all-wheel format, output will be 302 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque, with a claimed zero-to-60-mph time of 5.2 seconds, while the rear-wheel-drive model makes 215 horsepower and 258 pound-feet and is claimed to get to 60 mph in 7.4 seconds.
      The Ioniq 5 also comes with Hyundai’s Highway Driver Assist 2 (HDA 2), a level-2 driver assist system and the first Hyundai to come with the second generation of the driver assist system. HDA 2 will allow the Ioniq 5 to drive on the highway with minimal driver intervention and can automatically change lanes by activating the turn signal. This system is similar to the capabilities of the Super Cruise system in Cadillacs—and soon, GM vehicles more broadly.

      Hyundai

      The interior of the Ioniq 5 matches the modern design of the exterior. The front seats recline and have footrests for use while the vehicle is charging. They and many other parts in the cabin are made from recycled plastics, wool, eco-processed leather, and other sustainable sources. The instrument cluster and the infotainment screen, both 12 inches, sit on a single panel that stretches from in front of the driver to the middle of the vehicle.
      The head-up display in the Ioniq 5 is bolstered by augmented reality, meaning that information such as navigation can be projected onto the windshield in the line of sight of the driver. Although we’re unsure what this will exactly look like in the Ioniq 5, Hyundai announced an investment in WayRay, a startup integrating augmented reality into head-up displays, in 2018. The Ioniq 5 could be the realization of that investment.
      Other tech in the Ioniq 5 includes a solar roof, a feature seen in the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, and what Hyundai calls a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function, a charging system that can provide up to 3.6 kilowatts of power; that’s enough to charge and power many household appliances, but not quite enough to power your whole house.

      The Ioniq 5 is the first vehicle in a new all-electric lineup from Hyundai. The Ioniq 6, a sedan, and Ioniq 7, an SUV, are due in 2022 and 2024, respectively, and will expand the full-electric Ioniq lineup. The Ioniq 5 is slated to go on sale in the U.S. this fall.
