It seems there’s a battle going on in the SUV world and it’s getting vicious by the day. A few months ago, Jeep released a Grand Cherokee known as the Trackhawk that does 0-100 Km/h in 3.6 sec. Well, as if that in itself was not astounding, Lamborghini has upped the ante by unleashing a beast by the name of Urus that does the 0-100 Km/h lap in the same 3.6 sec. The Lamborghini Urus comes with a 4.0 Litre twin-turbo engine with a maximum power output 478 kW/650 HP linked to an 8-speed automatic transmission. For all intents and purposes, the Urus is a sportscar masquerading as an SUV. It will definitely cost top money but it won’t be too long until we see it in Kenya
In what is bound to excite many fans in Kenya, Subaru has launched a full sized 8-seater SUV dubbed the Ascent. Subaru had earlier made forays into the lucrative SUV segment with the Tribeca but this was a flop. Rather than lose hope, Subaru took in the criticism, went back to the drawing board and has come back with an amazing piece of machinery. It’s the largest vehicle that Subaru has ever built and it packs the best of what they offer. They’ve clearly gambled everything on this one. The exterior It looks like a blown up Outback, and that’s really a good thing. It comes with dual exhaust, 18-Inch Alloys, integrated roof rails, powered tailgate and LED steering responsive headlights. The Interior This is where the Subaru Ascent wins it. 8 Seater capacity, excellent legroom, panoramic sunroof, 19 cupholders, 8 USB ports, WIFI,…
Subaru Impreza 2016 The Subaru brand is highly popular in Kenya, and this latest news will further excite the legion of Subaru fans in Kenya. According to an article by CarWale, Subaru has revealed an overview of the new global platform that is being developed. Subaru plans to build all its new vehicles on the same global platform with the first one being the Impreza. Talking about the new concept, Fuji Heavy Industries president Yasuyuki Yoshinaga said, “The Subaru Global Platform lifts Subaru’s automotive technology to new heights, and marks the next step in the evolution of ‘Enjoyment and Peace of Mind’, the value that Subaru offers to its customers. This new platform represents the culmination of the know-how we have developed over many years, and we are confident that it will allow us to produce vehicles that live up to our proud traditions…
The new seven-seater luxury GLS-Class represents the new pinnacle of the Mercedes-Benz SUV range and will be aiming to upstage the current Range Rover, the Volvo XC90 and the Toyota Land Cruiser when it officially goes on sale, early next year. Mercedes had hoped to give its biggest car — it’s 5.1m long and just short of 2m wide — a similarly large promotion push. However, thanks to the porous nature of the internet, images and specifications regarding the GLS have been seeping out over recent days, so the company has moved everything forward. On first glance, the new car isn’t that different from the outgoing GL-Class (the model and nameplate it’s replacing) but look closer and the lines are sharper and stronger. The headlamps and more prominent grille reflect the company’s new design language, and the SUV certainly has more presence. Its physical…
Landwind X7 The Range Rover Evoque is a major cog in Jaguar Land Rover’s expansion into China. Last week, a speed bump in JLR’s China plan appeared in showrooms in the form of the Landwind X7. This is because — aesthetically — the X7 is virtually indistinguishable from the Evoque. And it looks as if the Chinese carmaker has a fair number of customers waiting to take delivery of the X7. According to Bloomberg, 5,500 buyers have put down deposits for an X7, which sells for roughly $21,700. That’s only fraction of the $65,000 to $90,000 it takes to drive home in an authentic Evoque in China. “We do not want to comment on the specifics relating to Landwind X7,” a Jaguar Land Rover representative told Business Insider in an email. “But it’s safe to say protecting our intellectual property is something we take…
