The Maybach 2019 models also has some exclusive cabin material and upgraded interior features, which cater to customers who are likely to be driven to their destination by a driver. And while not much in the way of change – a new grille and some new paint schemes – this big Mercedes is still worth your time. The Maybach does have some drawbacks, such as the price premium you pay for an S-Class, or the fact that you get a smaller trunk than you would with anything else in the segment. But we think these are minor complaints in the big scheme. For anyone with a pocketbook large enough, we definitely recommend a little closer.

2019 Mercedes-Benz Maybach Features

The extensive list of standard features is identical for both decorations, starting with 19- or 20-inch wheels, LED exterior lighting, automatic windscreen wipers, soft doors, a hands-free trunk, a customizable air suspension, a panoramic sunroof, a heated windshield , and keyless entry and ignition. Inside, you get a headscreen, four-zone automatic climate control, expanded premium leather upholstery, a heated wood and leather-trimmed steering wheel, wood interior finish, heated and ventilated multi-contour front and rear seats with memory and massage features, a power seat for the right rear seat, heated armrests, rear sunshades, and heated rear seats.

2019 Mercedes Maybach S650 Interior

You’ll also find a 12.3-inch virtual custom display, indoor lighting and an air scent with the Energizing Comfort system, which combines sound, climate, scent and massage to increase comfort. Also on the Maybach is a household power plug, Mercedes’ COMAND infotainment system, a navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging pads and a 13-speaker Burmester audio system. Options include various wheel and interior choices; Magic Sky Control, which provides a dimmable hue of the roof; a rear center console, reducing passenger capacity to four; dual rear entertainment systems; rear folding chairs, a refrigerator between the rear seats; heated and cooled copper sticks; and silver Champagne flutes from Robbe & Berking.

2019 Mercedes-Benz Maybach Interior

Inside, the cabin is extraordinarily adjustable, from independent interior lighting front and rear to choice of scents. It’s all accessible via the center screen, which can be connected in different ways. The doors open very wide. Visibility is a mixed bag, but the cameras help a lot. On the middle screen there are numerous features and many menus. But the system is pretty well laid out and there is always an escape button to go back home. Multiple control interfaces contain controls that need to be familiar. Elsewhere, the cabin is spacious and intuitive to use.

2019 Mercedes-Benz Maybach Engine

The S 560 is powered by a turbocharged V8 and is offered exclusively with four-wheel drive. In our book, it gains practical points by being weather resistant. Of course, it makes less power than the turbocharged V12 in the S 650, but with 463 horsepower on tap, most passengers probably won’t notice the difference. Each vehicle is usually in different versions which are essentially the same.

The rating in this review is based on our full test of the Mercedes-Maybach S 650, turbocharged 6.0L V12 with 7-speed automatic. The Maybach is not a driver’s car, but this big, heavy sedan drives and handles sharper than you would expect. The twin-turbo V12 delivers effortless and powerful acceleration from any speed. It is slightly detached but very capable.

2019 Mercedes-Benz Maybach Safety

On the advanced safety feature and driver-assist front, you get automatic large beams, a camera view with a surround view, a night vision camera system, automatic speed adjustment, an automatic parking system, customized cruise control, forward and cross-traffic collision warning with automatic braking, emergency evasion steering, active blind spot assistant, active lane change assistant, lane movement and crosswind assistant, a collision hearing protection system, airbags built into the rear shoulder straps, and a sleepy driver emergency 2019 Mercedes-Benz Maybach emergency warning system.

An Orange 2017 Land Rover Discovery Joins the Four Seasons Fleet

Through the many badges it’s worn here in America since launching here in 1994, the Land Rover Discovery has played an undeniable role in the early seeds of SUV mania. Even after the Disco name was dropped for North America in 2004 with the launch of the third-generation model in favor of the LR3 moniker (which evolved to LR4 years later with the launch of the fourth-gen), the iconic SUV endeared itself to would-be adventurers as a tantalizing mixture of rugged grit and upstanding British appeal. And although the original name is back, this new, fifth-generation model brings with it host of changes that, for better or worse, shake up the tried-and-true Discovery formula. To get a better handle on just what the new 2017 Land Rover Discovery is made of, we snagged one for our Four Seasons fleet.

Automobile’s first-ever Four Seasons test with a Land Rover featured a 1996 Discovery. That tough-as-nails off-roader was adored for its fearsome capability but mistrusted for its constant quality issues, large and small, earning it a dismal 2.5 stars out of 5. Land Rover went back to the drawing board for the LR3, updating everything from the pushrod V-8 to the frame, suspension, and styling language. With its vastly improved driving dynamics, ergonomics, and interior packaging (the rear seats actually folded flat), our test of the 2005 LR3 earned a much-improved 4 stars. Still, quality gremlins endured, and the freshly introduced DOHC 4.4-liter V-8 was neither powerful nor torque-rich enough to overcome the LR3’s ample heft.

For 2017, the all-new Discovery addresses all of these shortcomings, and more. While the boxy utilitarian styling may be gone, so is much of the Disco’s muffin top. Not only is the new aluminum unibody up to 1,000 pounds lighter than the steel structure it replaces, under the hood is the oil-burning engine we’ve envied from afar for years. We eagerly ticked the box for Land Rover’s 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6, the first offered in a U.S.-market Discovery, and have so far been pleased with the 254 hp and juicy 443 lb-ft of torque it offers. (Gas-powered models use a 340-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V-6.)

Barely a week passed before we took it for its first cruise, up from Detroit to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, where the Disco effortlessly towed a 16-foot fishing boat on a trailer. The new eight-speed automatic transmission works especially seamlessly on the highway, where it helps the 4,916-pound seven-seater return an EPA-rated 26 mpg. On several long hauls, however, we’ve managed as much as 28 mpg with a cargo area full of luggage.

In addition to the diesel engine, we added a laundry list of options to ensure we had the full Land Rover mix of luxury and capability. The top-spec HSE Luxury trim comes nicely outfitted with everything from air suspension to heated 16-way power seats with Windsor leather upholstery, Espresso wood trim, a fantastic Meridian premium sound system, keyless entry, Bluetooth, navigation within the latest 10.2-inch InControl Touch Pro interface, and front/rear parking aids. On top of that we kitted our Rover out with the Drive Pro package, adding adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with Queue Assist, and lane-departure warning ($2,350). Additional side cameras and LED headlights with automatic high beams come on the Vision Assist package ($1,000), while other pieces of tech like autonomous emergency braking ($125), a color head-up display ($950), a 360-degree parking aid ($275), automatic park assist ($800), and a full-on rear-seat entertainment suite ($2,270) have to be ordered a la carte.

On the more practical side of things, we made sure to include the Capability Plus package to get the active rear locking differential and Terrain Response 2 system ($1,250), a tow package ($650), roof rails ($400), and a full-size spare wheel and tire ($440). All told, our fully built-out family-hauling, rock-crawling, diesel-drinking, beverage cooling ($350) British behemoth rings in at an eye-watering $79,950.

So far, the Discovery has racked up more miles in such a short time than any Four Seasons vehicle in recent memory. Just two months into our test we’ve piled on 6,640 miles, putting it on pace to be one of the most driven Four Seasons testers on record. In short order we’ve adventured from Automobile’s Detroit bureau to Buffalo, Grand Rapids, two trips to Sault Ste. Marie, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Mackinaw City, Michigan. We’ve also spent a sunny afternoon off-roading at the Bundy Hill off-road park, where the Discovery’s raised air suspension, selectable terrain drive modes, hill-descent control, low-speed all-terrain cruise control, and low-range transfer case proved a Swiss Army knife of off-road guts in sand, dirt, and gravel. Once Michigan winter hits, we’ll be ready for the worst of it with a good set of winter rubber.

Though the Discovery has won praise for its capability, fuel economy, and utility, it is not without its detractors. Anglophile and contributing writer Marc Noordeloos wishes for better body control and a smoother ride, as well as a return to the bulkier styling of old. “I miss the near-timeless look of the old LR4,” he says. “This new Discovery has a bit of a hunchback going on and I can’t say I’m sold on the switch from a split tailgate to a fold-down.” Detroit bureau chief Todd Lassa, meanwhile, is often frustrated with the delayed throttle response. “The slow, clumsy tip-in makes me lose confidence when I need to merge into traffic. At least the interior leather and wood make the interior feel like a private London club,” notes Lassa.

Following a blissfully trouble-free Four Seasons test of a 2015 Jaguar F-Type S, we had hoped Land Rover’s infamous reliability woes were over, but we’ve already been somewhat disabused of that notion. It began with an improperly fitted A-pillar black trim piece, but since that small repair, we’ve also experienced random and unexplained tire-pressure monitoring warnings despite correct pressures (an issue we’ve also seen on our Four Seasons Jaguar F-Pace), lurching and bucking from the powertrain after cold starts, and (by far the most odd) – a rear three-quarter window that isn’t tinted to match the others. Perhaps most annoying have been the freezes and bugs with the infotainment system, which could really use Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity as well as voice-recognition technology. Even when everything is working, the system is simply not intuitive to use. When a friend and professional web and user-experience designer happened to be sitting shotgun, he was surprised how difficult it was to sift through various menus to access key functions. The satellite radio also frequently cuts out due to a weak signal, while the media player interface gets easily confused when connecting devices via Bluetooth and USB at the same time.

Has Land Rover has finally made a Discovery that’s both rugged and reliable for the daily grind? While it’s most certainly grown from its 1989 roots as a bare-bones all-terrain terror to a stylish, family-friendly people-mover with nine (!) USB ports, such a question remains open. When the Discovery’s four seasons are up, we’ll know if this third-gen is the charm.

Even after the Disco name was dropped for North America in 2004 with the launch of the third-generation model in favor of the LR3 moniker (which evolved to LR4 years later with the launch of the fourth-gen), the iconic SUV endeared itself to would-be adventurers as a tantalizing mixture of rugged grit and upstanding British appeal. And although the original name is back, this new, fifth-generation model brings with it host of changes that, for better or worse, shake up the tried-and-true Discovery formula. To get a better handle on just what the new 2017 Land Rover Discovery is made of, we snagged one for our Four Seasons fleet.

Automobile’s first-ever Four Seasons test with a Land Rover featured a 1996 Discovery. That tough-as-nails off-roader was adored for its fearsome capability but mistrusted for its constant quality issues, large and small, earning it a dismal 2.5 stars out of 5. Land Rover went back to the drawing board for the LR3, updating everything from the pushrod V-8 to the frame, suspension, and styling language. With its vastly improved driving dynamics, ergonomics, and interior packaging (the rear seats actually folded flat), our test of the 2005 LR3 earned a much-improved 4 stars. Still, quality gremlins endured, and the freshly introduced DOHC 4.4-liter V-8 was neither powerful nor torque-rich enough to overcome the LR3’s ample heft.

For 2017, the all-new Discovery addresses all of these shortcomings, and more. While the boxy utilitarian styling may be gone, so is much of the Disco’s muffin top. Not only is the new aluminum unibody up to 1,000 pounds lighter than the steel structure it replaces, under the hood is the oil-burning engine we’ve envied from afar for years. We eagerly ticked the box for Land Rover’s 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6, the first offered in a U.S.-market Discovery, and have so far been pleased with the 254 hp and juicy 443 lb-ft of torque it offers. (Gas-powered models use a 340-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V-6.)

Barely a week passed before we took it for its first cruise, up from Detroit to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, where the Disco effortlessly towed a 16-foot fishing boat on a trailer. The new eight-speed automatic transmission works especially seamlessly on the highway, where it helps the 4,916-pound seven-seater return an EPA-rated 26 mpg. On several long hauls, however, we’ve managed as much as 28 mpg with a cargo area full of luggage.

In addition to the diesel engine, we added a laundry list of options to ensure we had the full Land Rover mix of luxury and capability. The top-spec HSE Luxury trim comes nicely outfitted with everything from air suspension to heated 16-way power seats with Windsor leather upholstery, Espresso wood trim, a fantastic Meridian premium sound system, keyless entry, Bluetooth, navigation within the latest 10.2-inch InControl Touch Pro interface, and front/rear parking aids. On top of that we kitted our Rover out with the Drive Pro package, adding adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with Queue Assist, and lane-departure warning ($2,350). Additional side cameras and LED headlights with automatic high beams come on the Vision Assist package ($1,000), while other pieces of tech like autonomous emergency braking ($125), a color head-up display ($950), a 360-degree parking aid ($275), automatic park assist ($800), and a full-on rear-seat entertainment suite ($2,270) have to be ordered a la carte.

On the more practical side of things, we made sure to include the Capability Plus package to get the active rear locking differential and Terrain Response 2 system ($1,250), a tow package ($650), roof rails ($400), and a full-size spare wheel and tire ($440). All told, our fully built-out family-hauling, rock-crawling, diesel-drinking, beverage cooling ($350) British behemoth rings in at an eye-watering $79,950.

So far, the Discovery has racked up more miles in such a short time than any Four Seasons vehicle in recent memory. Just two months into our test we’ve piled on 6,640 miles, putting it on pace to be one of the most driven Four Seasons testers on record. In short order we’ve adventured from Automobile’s Detroit bureau to Buffalo, Grand Rapids, two trips to Sault Ste. Marie, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Mackinaw City, Michigan. We’ve also spent a sunny afternoon off-roading at the Bundy Hill off-road park, where the Discovery’s raised air suspension, selectable terrain drive modes, hill-descent control, low-speed all-terrain cruise control, and low-range transfer case proved a Swiss Army knife of off-road guts in sand, dirt, and gravel. Once Michigan winter hits, we’ll be ready for the worst of it with a good set of winter rubber.

Though the Discovery has won praise for its capability, fuel economy, and utility, it is not without its detractors. Anglophile and contributing writer Marc Noordeloos wishes for better body control and a smoother ride, as well as a return to the bulkier styling of old. “I miss the near-timeless look of the old LR4,” he says. “This new Discovery has a bit of a hunchback going on and I can’t say I’m sold on the switch from a split tailgate to a fold-down.” Detroit bureau chief Todd Lassa, meanwhile, is often frustrated with the delayed throttle response. “The slow, clumsy tip-in makes me lose confidence when I need to merge into traffic. At least the interior leather and wood make the interior feel like a private London club,” notes Lassa.

Following a blissfully trouble-free Four Seasons test of a 2015 Jaguar F-Type S, we had hoped Land Rover’s infamous reliability woes were over, but we’ve already been somewhat disabused of that notion. It began with an improperly fitted A-pillar black trim piece, but since that small repair, we’ve also experienced random and unexplained tire-pressure monitoring warnings despite correct pressures (an issue we’ve also seen on our Four Seasons Jaguar F-Pace), lurching and bucking from the powertrain after cold starts, and (by far the most odd) – a rear three-quarter window that isn’t tinted to match the others. Perhaps most annoying have been the freezes and bugs with the infotainment system, which could really use Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity as well as voice-recognition technology. Even when everything is working, the system is simply not intuitive to use. When a friend and professional web and user-experience designer happened to be sitting shotgun, he was surprised how difficult it was to sift through various menus to access key functions. The satellite radio also frequently cuts out due to a weak signal, while the media player interface gets easily confused when connecting devices via Bluetooth and USB at the same time.

Has Land Rover has finally made a Discovery that’s both rugged and reliable for the daily grind? While it’s most certainly grown from its 1989 roots as a bare-bones all-terrain terror to a stylish, family-friendly people-mover with nine (!) USB ports, such a question remains open. When the Discovery’s four seasons are up, we’ll know if this third-gen is the charm.

2019 Mercedes-Benz Maybach

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Maybach Sedan is available in the S 560 4Matic and S 650 finishes. The S 560 4Matic is powered by a 4-liter turbocharged V8, which is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Mercedes’ 4Matic all-wheel drive system is included. The S 650 upgrades to a 6.0-liter turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 (621 hp, 738 lb-ft) are transmitted in a seven-speed transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.

The Maybach 2019 models also has some exclusive cabin material and upgraded interior features, which cater to customers who are likely to be driven to their destination by a driver. And while not much in the way of change – a new grille and some new paint schemes – this big Mercedes is still worth your time. The Maybach does have some drawbacks, such as the price premium you pay for an S-Class, or the fact that you get a smaller trunk than you would with anything else in the segment. But we think these are minor complaints in the big scheme. For anyone with a pocketbook large enough, we definitely recommend a little closer.

The extensive list of standard features is identical for both decorations, starting with 19- or 20-inch wheels, LED exterior lighting, automatic windscreen wipers, soft doors, a hands-free trunk, a customizable air suspension, a panoramic sunroof, a heated windshield , and keyless entry and ignition. Inside, you get a headscreen, four-zone automatic climate control, expanded premium leather upholstery, a heated wood and leather-trimmed steering wheel, wood interior finish, heated and ventilated multi-contour front and rear seats with memory and massage features, a power seat for the right rear seat, heated armrests, rear sunshades, and heated rear seats.

You’ll also find a 12.3-inch virtual custom display, indoor lighting and an air scent with the Energizing Comfort system, which combines sound, climate, scent and massage to increase comfort. Also on the Maybach is a household power plug, Mercedes’ COMAND infotainment system, a navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging pads and a 13-speaker Burmester audio system. Options include various wheel and interior choices; Magic Sky Control, which provides a dimmable hue of the roof; a rear center console, reducing passenger capacity to four; dual rear entertainment systems; rear folding chairs, a refrigerator between the rear seats; heated and cooled copper sticks; and silver Champagne flutes from Robbe & Berking.

2019 Mercedes-Benz Maybach Interior

Inside, the cabin is extraordinarily adjustable, from independent interior lighting front and rear to choice of scents. It’s all accessible via the center screen, which can be connected in different ways. The doors open very wide. Visibility is a mixed bag, but the cameras help a lot. On the middle screen there are numerous features and many menus. But the system is pretty well laid out and there is always an escape button to go back home. Multiple control interfaces contain controls that need to be familiar. Elsewhere, the cabin is spacious and intuitive to use.

2019 Mercedes-Benz Maybach Engine

The S 560 is powered by a turbocharged V8 and is offered exclusively with four-wheel drive. In our book, it gains practical points by being weather resistant. Of course, it makes less power than the turbocharged V12 in the S 650, but with 463 horsepower on tap, most passengers probably won’t notice the difference. Each vehicle is usually in different versions which are essentially the same.

The rating in this review is based on our full test of the Mercedes-Maybach S 650, turbocharged 6.0L V12 with 7-speed automatic. The Maybach is not a driver’s car, but this big, heavy sedan drives and handles sharper than you would expect. The twin-turbo V12 delivers effortless and powerful acceleration from any speed. It is slightly detached but very capable.

2019 Mercedes-Benz Maybach Safety

On the advanced safety feature and driver-assist front, you get automatic large beams, a camera view with a surround view, a night vision camera system, automatic speed adjustment, an automatic parking system, customized cruise control, forward and cross-traffic collision warning with automatic braking, emergency evasion steering, active blind spot assistant, active lane change assistant, lane movement and crosswind assistant, a collision hearing protection system, airbags built into the rear shoulder straps, and a sleepy driver emergency 2019 Mercedes-Benz Maybach emergency warning system.

An Orange 2017 Land Rover Discovery Joins the Four Seasons Fleet

Through the many badges it’s worn here in America since launching here in 1994, the Land Rover Discovery has played an undeniable role in the early seeds of SUV mania. Even after the Disco name was dropped for North America in 2004 with the launch of the third-generation model in favor of the LR3 moniker (which evolved to LR4 years later with the launch of the fourth-gen), the iconic SUV endeared itself to would-be adventurers as a tantalizing mixture of rugged grit and upstanding British appeal. And although the original name is back, this new, fifth-generation model brings with it host of changes that, for better or worse, shake up the tried-and-true Discovery formula. To get a better handle on just what the new 2017 Land Rover Discovery is made of, we snagged one for our Four Seasons fleet.

Automobile’s first-ever Four Seasons test with a Land Rover featured a 1996 Discovery. That tough-as-nails off-roader was adored for its fearsome capability but mistrusted for its constant quality issues, large and small, earning it a dismal 2.5 stars out of 5. Land Rover went back to the drawing board for the LR3, updating everything from the pushrod V-8 to the frame, suspension, and styling language. With its vastly improved driving dynamics, ergonomics, and interior packaging (the rear seats actually folded flat), our test of the 2005 LR3 earned a much-improved 4 stars. Still, quality gremlins endured, and the freshly introduced DOHC 4.4-liter V-8 was neither powerful nor torque-rich enough to overcome the LR3’s ample heft.

For 2017, the all-new Discovery addresses all of these shortcomings, and more. While the boxy utilitarian styling may be gone, so is much of the Disco’s muffin top. Not only is the new aluminum unibody up to 1,000 pounds lighter than the steel structure it replaces, under the hood is the oil-burning engine we’ve envied from afar for years. We eagerly ticked the box for Land Rover’s 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6, the first offered in a U.S.-market Discovery, and have so far been pleased with the 254 hp and juicy 443 lb-ft of torque it offers. (Gas-powered models use a 340-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V-6.)

Barely a week passed before we took it for its first cruise, up from Detroit to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, where the Disco effortlessly towed a 16-foot fishing boat on a trailer. The new eight-speed automatic transmission works especially seamlessly on the highway, where it helps the 4,916-pound seven-seater return an EPA-rated 26 mpg. On several long hauls, however, we’ve managed as much as 28 mpg with a cargo area full of luggage.

In addition to the diesel engine, we added a laundry list of options to ensure we had the full Land Rover mix of luxury and capability. The top-spec HSE Luxury trim comes nicely outfitted with everything from air suspension to heated 16-way power seats with Windsor leather upholstery, Espresso wood trim, a fantastic Meridian premium sound system, keyless entry, Bluetooth, navigation within the latest 10.2-inch InControl Touch Pro interface, and front/rear parking aids. On top of that we kitted our Rover out with the Drive Pro package, adding adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with Queue Assist, and lane-departure warning ($2,350). Additional side cameras and LED headlights with automatic high beams come on the Vision Assist package ($1,000), while other pieces of tech like autonomous emergency braking ($125), a color head-up display ($950), a 360-degree parking aid ($275), automatic park assist ($800), and a full-on rear-seat entertainment suite ($2,270) have to be ordered a la carte.

On the more practical side of things, we made sure to include the Capability Plus package to get the active rear locking differential and Terrain Response 2 system ($1,250), a tow package ($650), roof rails ($400), and a full-size spare wheel and tire ($440). All told, our fully built-out family-hauling, rock-crawling, diesel-drinking, beverage cooling ($350) British behemoth rings in at an eye-watering $79,950.

So far, the Discovery has racked up more miles in such a short time than any Four Seasons vehicle in recent memory. Just two months into our test we’ve piled on 6,640 miles, putting it on pace to be one of the most driven Four Seasons testers on record. In short order we’ve adventured from Automobile’s Detroit bureau to Buffalo, Grand Rapids, two trips to Sault Ste. Marie, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Mackinaw City, Michigan. We’ve also spent a sunny afternoon off-roading at the Bundy Hill off-road park, where the Discovery’s raised air suspension, selectable terrain drive modes, hill-descent control, low-speed all-terrain cruise control, and low-range transfer case proved a Swiss Army knife of off-road guts in sand, dirt, and gravel. Once Michigan winter hits, we’ll be ready for the worst of it with a good set of winter rubber.

Though the Discovery has won praise for its capability, fuel economy, and utility, it is not without its detractors. Anglophile and contributing writer Marc Noordeloos wishes for better body control and a smoother ride, as well as a return to the bulkier styling of old. “I miss the near-timeless look of the old LR4,” he says. “This new Discovery has a bit of a hunchback going on and I can’t say I’m sold on the switch from a split tailgate to a fold-down.” Detroit bureau chief Todd Lassa, meanwhile, is often frustrated with the delayed throttle response. “The slow, clumsy tip-in makes me lose confidence when I need to merge into traffic. At least the interior leather and wood make the interior feel like a private London club,” notes Lassa.

Following a blissfully trouble-free Four Seasons test of a 2015 Jaguar F-Type S, we had hoped Land Rover’s infamous reliability woes were over, but we’ve already been somewhat disabused of that notion. It began with an improperly fitted A-pillar black trim piece, but since that small repair, we’ve also experienced random and unexplained tire-pressure monitoring warnings despite correct pressures (an issue we’ve also seen on our Four Seasons Jaguar F-Pace), lurching and bucking from the powertrain after cold starts, and (by far the most odd) – a rear three-quarter window that isn’t tinted to match the others. Perhaps most annoying have been the freezes and bugs with the infotainment system, which could really use Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity as well as voice-recognition technology. Even when everything is working, the system is simply not intuitive to use. When a friend and professional web and user-experience designer happened to be sitting shotgun, he was surprised how difficult it was to sift through various menus to access key functions. The satellite radio also frequently cuts out due to a weak signal, while the media player interface gets easily confused when connecting devices via Bluetooth and USB at the same time.

Has Land Rover has finally made a Discovery that’s both rugged and reliable for the daily grind? While it’s most certainly grown from its 1989 roots as a bare-bones all-terrain terror to a stylish, family-friendly people-mover with nine (!) USB ports, such a question remains open. When the Discovery’s four seasons are up, we’ll know if this third-gen is the charm.

And with its available torque-vectoring sport rear differential offering sportier handling dynamics, the 2018 Audi S5 Couple Premium Plus can really stick in the corners.

A 354-hp turbocharged engine, 369 lb-ft of torque, an eight-speed tiptronic® automatic transmission and 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. It all adds up to one impressively powerful S5 Coupe.

From cruising the coastline to carving the canyons. The available sport adaptive damping suspension enables the damping characteristics that make up the Audi drive select mode, resulting in enhanced handling and sport capabilities.

2017 Audi A4 allroad Prestige

New Post has been published on http://auto.tintoantap.com/2017-audi-a4-allroad-prestige/

2017 Audi A4 allroad Prestige

   The 2017 Audi A4 allroad Prestige boasts advanced infotainment and driver assistance systems like the available Audi virtual cockpit and standard Audi pre sense® — tangible proof that intelligence can take you farther than ever before.

Available Audi connect® features cutting-edge technologies like Google Earth™ with 3D satellite imagery, a Wi-Fi® hotspot with up to 4G LTE connectivity (where available) for up to eight passenger devices, local traffic, news and more.

Be informed, not overwhelmed. The available Audi virtual cockpit is a 12.3-inch driver-focused information cluster that transitions from a classic display to a panoramic setting with outstanding clarity. It’s time for the information age to really shed light.

This standard feature enables Apple CarPlay™ and Google™ Android Auto™ interface, enabling access to your compatible phone’s features, such as navigation, telephone, music and select third-party apps, and can be controlled through the Audi MMI® interface, your voice or steering wheel controls.

Standard Audi pre sense® city can detect vehicles and pedestrians at speeds of up to 52 mph and alert the driver to a potential collision, reduce speed by up to 25 mph and apply automatic braking to help minimize or prevent a collision.

This standard feature helps maintain a preset distance to the vehicle in front and can help stop or accelerate your Audi according to traffic conditions. In congested traffic, available traffic jam assist provides gentle acceleration, braking and steering guidance when traveling at speeds between 0 and 40 mph.

The available head-up display projects a readout of the car’s speed, navigation and assistance systems (when equipped) directly onto the windshield.

The available Bang & Olufsen® 3D Advanced Sound System provides exceptionally clear, multidimensional acoustics and features 19 speakers and 755 watts of power. Add to that LED accent lighting, optimal speaker placement and Bang & Olufsen® Dynamic Line Design speaker grilles for a fully sensorial experience.

This available feature uses front and rear acoustic sensors to help detect when you are close to another object, while a standard rear view camera helps provide additional visibility when backing up.

Available Audi side assist with Rear cross traffic alert uses radar sensors and optical warnings to help alert you if a vehicle is in your blind spot. It can also help you navigate out of a perpendicular parking space.
