Belgian tuning company Caractere adds the Audi Q5 to their list of modified vehicles. The new kit is more subtle and less aggressive than the Abt Sportsline Q5, which is good for people who want to change the appearance of their Q5 without being too flashy about it.
It will adapt various Murano-styling elements, has all-wheel-drive and is expected to be powered by 2.0 litre four cylinder fuel and Diesel engines. The top of the line version could be equipped with a six cylinder power plant. The 2008 Nissan Qashqai was originally unveiled at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show. Not much else is none about this CUV, but we will know in the future, you can bet on it. \r\n
After a couple years, it’s easy to get bored with a car you drive every day, especially if it’s not a particularly exciting car in the first place. Take the Audi Q7 for example. It’s not a bad vehicle in any way, but just like every other SUV on the road, it’s a bit…mundane. That doesn’t mean you have to go out and buy a new car every couple of years though. Bored with your Q7? Hand it over to ABT for an energizing facelift and overall upgrade.
Awe-inspiring, muscular, yet luxurious, the Infiniti FX Crossover Limited Edition has many people talking; and talking loudly at that. With production limited to just 100 units it Western Europe, the Inifinity FX Limited Edition club is almost just as exclusive as the $15 million membership at the Richman’s International Millionaires Club!
In keeping up with modern marketing methods, Honda innocently set up a Facebook page for the new Accord Crosstour, which promised to be a “sophisticated refinement of a premium sedan with versatile aspects from an SUV.” When the first pictures of the Crosstour went live, Honda received an unintended backlash from Facebook users as they ripped apart the Accord Crosstour’s styling...
A few years ago, things were much simpler. Take your pick: a Minivan or an SUV. As car companies began to introduce the Crossover, decisions became that much more difficult. By combining the desirable traits of both minivans and sport utility vehicles, crossovers have become very attractive to those in the market for a family car. When it comes to the decision making process, we can’t cure that headache of yours, but we help ease it by taking a look at what each product has to offer.
Audi just released details on the next generation Q7 set to be a 2010 model. The new Q7 will receive a big exterior update to include new front and rear LED lighting to include the daytime running lights, turn signals, and brake lights.

The ASX is the European-spec version of the Japanese RVR, which is slated to go on sale in Japan from February 2010. MMC’s new compact crossover will seat 5 and will be sequentially introduced in European countries from late spring 2010
The 2009 Toyota Venza is quite an interesting vehicle. It looks like a small crossover SUV, or maybe a wagon, but smaller than both. It’s the length of a Toyota Camry, the width of the Highlander, and in between the two for every other dimension. Despite never figuring out what the Venza really is, I found one important thing about it: it’s incredibly useful.
The Audi Q7 TDI large crossover with a diesel engine receives yet another tuning program from a reputable tuner. The German B&B company has presented two tuning sets for both current Audi Q7 3.0 TDI and the upcoming Q7 with a more powerful diesel V8 with a displacement of some 4.2 liters.
Ford used the Frankfurt Auto Show to display one of its newest products, the all-new Ford C-MAX. What makes this especially notable is the fact that it’s coming to the North American market to the delight of Waldorf Ford and others. With a stylish exterior and seating for seven, the C-MAX will likely excite buyers that are torn between a crossover vehicle or a wagon.
In Hyundai’s next step to rid themselves of their boring image, they’ve unveiled a completely redone Tucson crossover SUV for 2010 at the LA Auto Show. The new Tucson CUV was designed entirely at Hyundai’s European design center in Frankfurt, and it shows. The new Tucson has more interior room, better tech and fuel economy, and a more aggressive design following Hyundai’s “Fluidic Sculpture” design trend.
When Infiniti dropped off the EX35 last week, I didn’t really know what to think. The first few times I drove it, I didn’t like it. Something about it was just…off. The transmission didn’t feel right, steering was weird, and it felt too small for its purpose. But after a few days, it hit me. This thing is brilliant!
Nissan is getting ready to shake up the C-Segment vehicle class in Europe and Asia with the introduction of its new Qashqai at this year’s Paris Motor Show. Described as a “catalyst for change”, the Qashqai may be just the vehicle that Nissan needs.
Looks like Kia’s been busy over the past year. At the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, Kia unveiled a total of five new models, along with their new “EcoDynamics” sub-brand. Most of the new stuff will only be available in Europe, at least initially. Let’s take a look at what they’re offering…
Announced just a month ago, the new Nissan Murano GT-C was unveiled today at the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed. After Goodwood, the company plans to show it off again at the British International Motor Show in mid-July.
Were the 2007 Acura RDX given a Chinese zodiac sign, its birth would fall under the year of the Fire Dog. Astrological traits include loyalty, passion, intelligence and, with a bit of speculation on our part, the ability to shoot flames out of one's mouth while barking.
“Hey did I already write about this?” I literally said that out loud to myself when this landed in my inbox yesterday. Nope, I was thinking of Audi’s Q7, this is Audi’s brand new, smaller Q3. Strong family resemblance though, huh? And you don’t have to have a degree in product planning to see who the Q3 is aimed at: would-be buyers of BMW’s smaller X3 sport-ute. The question becomes, does Audi have what it takes to beat BMW?
So, here’s the latest Audi Q7 SUV. Yes, another SUV. ‘What is Audi thinking,’ you might ask, but Audi is doing OK, money wise, so maybe they aren’t throwing money down a hole occupied by non-viable transportation options. Whether SUVs have a future on the streets of the world is debatable, but the next-gen Q7 is here, and you know Audi is going to sell a bunch of them, so why not take a closer look.
The latest Hyundai Veracruz full-size crossover SUV, already on sell in Korea, has officially launched in the U.S. and Canada. The new 2007 Veracruz, which is supposed to compete with such established brands as the Lexus RX 350 and the Honda Pilot, will come to the local customers with an exclusive 3.8-liter gasoline engine.
The Nissan Murano crossover, first released in 2003, was a big hit for Nissan. Practical looks, a great powertrain, and a high level of utility made it a winner that competes with the Ford Edge, Toyota Highlander, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Chevy Traverse. In 2007 as sales started to decline, Nissan pulled the Murano off the lots for 2008 and began working on an updated model for 2009 without straying too far from the winning Murano formula. We drive the redesigned 20098 Nissan Murano. How is it?
The base model comes equipped with a decent 3.6-liter V6 VVT engine, capable of delivering some 270 hp and 248 lb-ft (336 Nm) of peak torque. The Saturn Outlook SE delivers 18/26 city/highway mileage measured by the EPA. The same model with an all-wheel drive is rated at 17/24 mpg.
Seriously considering getting the 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca as the new family vehicle just a month ago, I wouldn't buy the new Tribeca under any circumstances.
Chevy just unveiled the all-new 2010 Equinox; their compact crossover SUV. The 2010 model is a significant upgrade from 2009, both from a design standpoint and functionality.
