OVERVIEW One of the greatest hypercars of all time is about to come to an end, but not before we have the opportunity to enjoy the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The Super Sport is not only one of the final 500 Chiron's that Bugatti has ever made, but it also might be the best one. The 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine in the Super Sport produces the same staggering 1,578 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque as the Super Sport 300+, but it has an equally opulent interior as the ordinary Chiron, which has less power. In addition to giving this Chiron a distinctive look, the Super Sport's larger rear end also aids in the vehicle's amazing stability at its 273 mph top speed. The Super Sport's mix of top speed and absolute opulence is unmatched by electric hypercars like the Rimac Nevera, despite the latter being quicker off the line. The Chiron also maintains its unbeatable status on the Autobahn; in fact, it has a driving mode named after the renowned German motorway, while Lamborghini and Ferrari are better at building agile supercars. The Super Sport serves as a reminder that there isn't another grand tourer quite like the Chiron, even years after it initially entered the market. Changes In The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport The Chiron Super Sport combines the greatest features of the standard Chiron and the even faster Chiron Super Sport 300+. It is designed for extremely high speeds without compromising comfort in any way. One of the numerous aerodynamic changes made to increase downforce and make the automobile as slippery as possible, it is identifiable by a longtail rear end that decreases aerodynamic stall by more than 40%. The arches are filled with specially made, ultra-lightweight wheels. In this application, the powerful 8.0L W16 engine generates 1,578 horsepower and revs at 300 rpm more than before. Also modified were the transmission and chassis. The Super Sport can now hit 273 mph thanks to these improvements. Bugatti Chiron: Exterior The enlarged longtail rear end is the most obvious distinction between the Super Sport and the regular Chiron. Although it gives the Super Sport a more ominous appearance, this design allows for significant aerodynamic advancements. 40% less aerodynamic stall now exists. The tear-off area has decreased by 44% as a result of the closer proximity of the trailing and diffuser tear-off edges. The quad tailpipes have been stacked to create more room for the diffuser at the back of the vehicle. Although the Super Sport is more recognizable up front, it is nonetheless impressive. With their four-block shape, the LED headlights encircle the recognizable grille and give it a forceful appearance. They are accompanied by sizable intakes. The brand's philosophy of "form follows performance" depends on these air curtains. The EB 110 Super Sport is reminiscent of the vents above the front fenders, but these vents also release air from the pressure that builds up in the front wheel wells when combined with the outlets behind the front wheels. According to Bugatti, this particular character becomes essential for maintaining a neutral equilibrium between downforce and lift at the front axle at speeds over 249 mph. It's hardly surprising that the wheels are enormous, measuring 20 inches up front and 21 inches behind, but it's important to note that these ultra-lightweight aluminum wheels were created specifically for this model. Bugatti Chiron: Interior The inside of the Super Sport is finely crafted and exudes specialness from the moment you step inside. Some of the materials used to surround the driver and passenger include plush leathers, metal controls, and carbon fiber. Instead of a central touchscreen, there are four switches stacked vertically in its place, which looks much more classy than a tablet attached to the dashboard. Overall, the lack of switches and buttons gives the inside a clean appearance, and the large center speedometer will likely capture most of your attention anyhow. Considering the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport's price, there aren't many features, but you do get power-adjustable seats, climate control, and an instrument cluster with a digital display. Bugatti Chiron: Performance The Super Sport has 1,578 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque, making it as speedy as any other Chiron. In 2.4, 5.8, and 12.1 seconds, it will achieve 62 mph (100 km/h), 124 mph (200 km/h), and 186 mph (300 km/h), respectively. In ideal circumstances, the 0-60 time is probably close to two seconds. The Chiron Super Sport even has a stated time for going from 0 to 400 km/h, which is nearly unheard of in the world of automobiles. In terms of speed, that equates to 249 mph, which the Super Sport will attain in 28.6 seconds. The car's expertly tuned aerodynamics and slippery body then start to work. The astounding top speed of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is 273 mph. The ordinary Chiron can only go 261 mph, in contrast. The all-wheel-drive Chiron Super Sport is extremely calm when driven at highway speeds. However, when you press your foot down, the surge quickly rises after a little pause. The car frequently feels like it is in a lower gear than the one you are in due to the tremendous midrange power. It can accelerate from 60 to 100 km/h (37 to 62 mph) in under 5.7 seconds while in sixth. The Super Sport easily accelerates to above 200 mph on the Autobahn or any other smooth route without speed limits. At these speeds, Bugatti is in a class by itself among contemporary hypercars thanks to its easy power, stability, and luxury. Bugatti Chiron: Engine And Transmission The pinnacle of combustion power is represented by the 8.0-liter W16 quad-turbo engine. It produces 1,180 lb-ft of torque from 2,250 rpm to 7,000 rpm and 1,578 horsepower at 7,000 rpm. All four wheels receive power from the engine, however possibly six wheels would have been more appropriate given the outputs of the powerful W16. The base transmission is a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic with a longer seventh gear for a faster peak speed, and the clutch package has been tailored for this use. While several automakers have developed strategies to reduce turbo lag, some of which involve electricity, the Chiron doesn't. But in a way, the brief lull before chaos breaks out heightens the tension of operating the Super Sport. The same is true while shifting through the gears; there is only a brief gap before the turbos engage once more. The automobile is astonishingly civilized while having the capacity to briefly spin all four tires. Bugatti has managed to contain the car's enormous power without endangering the chassis in some way. Driving the Chiron Super Sport is a thrill to relish, as long as you can handle a gasoline gauge that changes pace almost as quickly as the speedometer. Bugatti Chiron: Handling Purchase the more agile Pur Sport if you want the Chiron to handle the best. SuperSport emphasizes high-speed comfort, and it successfully carries out that mandate. As already stated, the automobile is remarkably simple to operate at reasonable speeds. Although the automobile appears to be substantial, the handling is actually light and precise. It handles bumps and surface changes with typical grand tourer poise, albeit it isn't quite as supple as a Bentley. The amazingly rock-solid steadiness is impressive at greater speeds. Additionally, the Super Sport seems buttoned-down and confident in the corners, despite not being as chuckable as a Ferrari. It truly combines the best features of the Pur Sport and regular Chiron into a single unit. Strong brakes are essential when you're traveling at 200 mph on the Autobahn and a little Renault periodically blocks your path. The Chiron Super Sport has them, which is a blessing. The strong and fade-resistant carbon-ceramic brakes provide the driver the assurance he or she needs to increase speed. A rear wing that functions as an air brake is also present. Bugatti Chiron: Features Bugatti doesn't hide the fact that the Chiron's engine and capacity to reach outrageously high speeds account for the majority of the cost of the vehicle. For something so pricey, it is just modestly furnished in that regard. Although it boasts a push-button start, selectable driving modes, automatic climate control, and power-adjustable seats, it lacks the sophisticated driver assistance features found in a base Honda Civic. Nevertheless, there are parking sensors and a rearview camera. Bugatti Chiron: Infotainment And Connectivity The Chiron Super Sport does not have a touchscreen; instead, digital displays in the instrument cluster show information about speed, media, and other things. Although Bugatti hasn't revealed any information regarding the Chiron Super Sport's audio system, we can anticipate it to be similar to the Chiron's regular unit, which is supplied by Accuton and features diamond membranes in the tweeters. Bugatti Chiron: Pricing The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is out of the price range of the typical enthusiast at $3,825,000. However, it's simple to add more than enough alternatives to raise that figure above $4,200,000. For instance, it is feasible to spend almost $220,000 on specialty paint, and an exhaust deflector with a particular coating costs $15,000.

Aston Martin one-77: Overview The two-door, two-seat flagship sports car known as the Aston Martin One-77 is produced by the British automaker Aston Martin. The vehicle made its debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Event, albeit for the majority of the show it was concealed by a "Savile Row fitted skirt." The 2009 Geneva Motor Show was fully unveiled, and deliveries started in 2011. Although multiple development cars were created for engineering, testing, and marketing, the One-77 was only produced in 77 units. The exact number of cars in existence is 78 because of one of the development cars, VIN #10711, which was shipped back to Aston Martin for a thorough refurbishment and is now owned under NHTSA Show and Display registration in the United States. One-77, the name of the car's development, was sold for GB£1,150,000. One of the 77 vehicles, that was involved in a collision in Hong Kong in May 2012, was initially written off but has now been completely reconstructed. Aston Martin one-77: Specifications Numerous facts regarding the One-77 were made public before its introduction at the Paris Motor Show[8], but the exact specs weren't made public in their entirety until the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. The One-77 is equipped with a 7.3 L; 446.2 cu in (7,312 ccs) DOHC 4 valves per cylinder V12 engine with Variable Valve Timing, rated at 559 kW (760 PS; 750 horsepower) at 7,500 rpm and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm. It also boasts a handcrafted aluminum body. When the first vehicle was delivered, Aston Martin proclaimed the engine to be the most potent production naturally aspirated engine in the world. The vehicle has a height-adjustable pushrod suspension and dynamic stability control in addition to a 6-speed automatic manual transmission from Graziano Transmission. The One-77 has Carbon Ceramic Matrix brakes and Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires (255/35 ZR20 front, 335/30 ZR20 rear). Although real testing conducted in December 2009 revealed a high speed of 354.067 km/h (220.007 mph), the top speed was expected to be 350 km/h (220 mph), with an acceleration time of roughly 3.5 seconds from 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph). Canadian company Multimatic was hired to design and create the carbon fiber chassis and suspension system. Although 1,500 kilograms (3,307 lb) was the predicted weight, the production model weights 1,630 kg (3,594 lb). Aston Martin one-77: Laurels The Concorso d'Eleganza Design Award for Concept Cars and Prototypes, the GOOD DESIGN award from the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design in North America, and the "Best Design" award from the UK motoring magazine Auto Express, among many others, have all been given to the Aston Martin One-77.

Koenigsegg Gemera: Overview Trust Christian von Koenigsegg to do something insane, like hosting a press conference in the halls of the now-canceled Geneva International Motor Show. But when Koenigsegg does something outrageous, they go big; or in the case of the new Koenigsegg Gemera they go 'mega'. While Koenigsegg has previously only developed two-seater hypercars, the Gemara is the first of a new breed, the first Koenigsegg built to be enjoyed by four occupants. It's not a hypercar, it's a 'Mega GT car, and it's changing the high-performance game before it's even a week old. The Gemera, whose name is taken from the Swedish phrase "to offer more," not only has four seats, but it does so with 1,727 horsepower and a mind-blowing 2,581 lb-ft of torque. The Koenigsegg Gemera is said to be capable of reaching speeds of more than 240 mph and sprinting from 0 to 62 mph in less than two seconds thanks to a mid-mounted three-cylinder engine and three batteries. The Swedish hypercar manufacturer is once again inventing where others remain with the known and true; it's a wild new world. Koenigsegg Gamera: Design Koenigsegg makes sure that every vehicle they build has a distinctive character that makes the car instantly recognizable, in contrast to many manufacturers who hire the talents of well-known design studios to pen the designs of their vehicles.We're not referring to the Ghost Squadron logo used on vehicles produced in the company's Angelholm manufacture and development center; rather, we're referring to a design aesthetic that was first used on Christian von Koenigsegg's very first prototypes. To do this, the Gemera has a wide front fascia with protruding intake ducts and thin LED headlamps. The massive carbon fiber wheels and side ducts that direct a lot of air to the mid-mounted engine, as well as other cooling systems required to maintain a 1,700+ horsepower hybrid at ideal operating temperatures, dominate the side profile. A pair of Akrapovic top-exit exhausts produce a distinctive sound, while an integrated spoiler and noticeable diffuser help the vehicle's rear end achieve the slick aerodynamics required to travel at 248 mph. The KATSAD door design, however, is unquestionably the Gemera's jewel in the crown. The now-iconic Koenigsegg Automated Twisted Synchro helix Actuation Doors, or KATSADs for short, have been modified for use on a four-seater with enormous doors that open up the entire side profile of the car, allowing entry and exit for both front and rear passengers without the need to move the seats at all. With space for four people, the huge GT's carbon fiber body is an example of Koenigsegg's inventiveness. Koenigsegg Gemera: Practicality Koenigsegg has never before given seating for more than two people, thus the interior of the Gemera is a completely novel experience for the brand. But Koenigsegg makes the audacious claim that four people of 6'5" can comfortably fit, without the need to change the position of the front seats, in contrast to other GT cars that offer 2+2 seating where the back seats are reserved primarily for double-leg amputees. It's an amazing feat, and what's even more amazing is that entry and exit are made simple by the car's unusual doors, which open up the entire side of the vehicle. Once inside, the inside features the best materials in a custom-tailored design, with typical Koenigsegg elegance and attention to detail; carbon fiber is the material of choice, though. Four heated and four cooled cupholders are distributed throughout the interior, which also has tri-zone automatic climate control, wireless phone chargers in the front and back, and entertainment screens in both the front and back. Memory foam seats with heated features and power adjustments come standard, and the infotainment system includes an 11-speaker sound system and complete Apple CarPlay connectivity. It is absolutely bespoke, truly luxurious, and has four seats, all without sacrificing the Koenigsegg DNA to which we have grown accustomed. Two trunks provide further attention to detail; the rear trunk can fit three carry-on suitcases, while the front trunk can fit just one, guaranteeing that all four passengers may bring luggage along for the voyage. Koenigsegg Gemera: Performance An innovative 2.0-liter twin-turbo three-cylinder engine, dubbed the Tiny Friendly Giant (TFG), powers the Gemera. Drive is transmitted to the front axle using an extension of the Koenigsegg Direct Drive system, which was first seen on the Regera, and the engine is longitudinally positioned in the center of the carbon fiber chassis. Even though the engine's 600 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque are remarkable for a motor with such a small displacement, the fact that it lacks camshafts makes them even more unbelievable. The Koenigsegg-created Freevalve technology, which uses electronic actuators to manipulate the valves progressively for improved performance and efficiency, is what actually operates them. Three electric motors are added to the system, one on the engine's crankshaft and one on each of the back axles. When paired with the combustion engine, the three motors produce a total of 1,100 horsepower and 2,581 lb-ft of torque. The Gemera's powertrain can travel up to 31 miles at 186 mph on electric power alone, but the true magic emerges when the system functions as a whole. The Gemera has a top speed of 248 mph and needs just 1.9 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph. With a claimed combined driving range of 621 miles, the Koenigsegg becomes completely carbon-neutral when fueled with second-generation ethanol or CO2-neutral methanol. To increase low-speed agility and high-speed stability, all-wheel drive is combined with all-wheel steering. Real torque vectoring is made possible by the twin-clutch packs on the front axle, while it is also possible with the electric motors on the back wheels. It's a combination that should produce great handling dynamics, but we wouldn't expect anything less from a company like Koenigsegg.

Overview The 2022 Chiron is the ultimate automobile as well as the ultimate Bugatti. Period. Thanks to a 16-cylinder engine with four turbochargers and at least 1500 horsepower—the more expensive Super Sport edition is even more potent—this $3 million work of art can pound the pavement at nearly 200 mph. The Chiron's interior is equally as beautifully crafted as its exterior and pampers passengers with high-end materials, which helps to explain its high price. But let's face it—the audience is paying for this performance. If you're hoping for contemporary conveniences like Apple CarPlay or driver-assistance technology, you won't find them here. However, after you've driven this beast, you won't likely care about such tiny flaws. Which one to Purchase? People choose vehicles like the Chiron because they want one that turns heads on the street, at the valet stand, or in front of the Monte Carlo Casino. The base Chiron fits the bill with its sweeping lines and infamously sky-high price. Even the pickiest hypercar buyer should be able to smile after seeing this vehicle, in our opinion. The Chiron includes features including full power accessories and quad LED headlights as standard equipment. Bugatti Chiron: Engine and Performance A 16-cylinder, 8.0-liter engine powers every Chiron variant. Four turbochargers are used by this monster engine to produce a powerful 1500 horsepower and 1180 pound-feet of torque. With a top speed of 261 mph, Bugatti boasts that the Chiron can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 2.3 seconds. Choose the Chiron Super Sport if the basic engine isn't satisfying your need for speed. This model has a somewhat more powerful variation of the standard engine, which has a 1578 horsepower output. On our test track, the Super Sport reached 200 mph in under 15 seconds and reached 60 mph in only 2.2 seconds. A variant with specifications that are nearly comparable to those of the Chiron Super Sport clocked a record-breaking 304.773 mph test-track run while being driven by factory test driver Andy Wallace. Power is distributed to all four wheels of every model in the Chiron series using a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Bugatti Chiron: Interior and Comfort The Chiron's side panels have a C-shaped design cue carved into them, and the interior of the vehicle also incorporates this motif. The elegant curve of a divider separating the driver and passenger reflects it. Top-notch materials have been used by Bugatti to outfit the Chiron's cabin, while space-age stylistic cues give a quirky flair. The driver is greeted by a flat-bottomed steering wheel, and according to Bugatti, the glossy center console is built of a single piece of solid metal. The Chiron is best used with minimal luggage. There are only two cubic feet of storage space in the trunk. Bugatti Chiron: Infotainment System Compromises on the infotainment front result from Chiron's sole focus on performance. This Bugatti drives very much like a race vehicle, and it has the minimal tech to go with it. There is no infotainment screen, and no support for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is provided. A stereo system and a trip computer are pretty much the only infotainment features offered by the vehicle. The sound system has four tweeters that each use a one-carat diamond membrane for precise output, and it has an exquisite sound quality. That is what you would anticipate from a car with a starting price of millions. Bugatti Chiron: Safety Commonly available driver aid systems like blind-spot monitoring are not present on the Chiron. Visit the websites of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for more details regarding the results of Chiron's crash tests. Bugatti Chiron: Pricing The Bugatti Chiron is a super expensive car, with a starting price of around $3 million [US dollars]. That's a lot of money for a car, but the Chiron is one of the most powerful and fastest cars on the market. It has a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine that produces 1,500 horsepower and can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds!

History of Electric Vehicles Although electric vehicles have advanced significantly, many other forms of mobility do not share their shortcomings. You can get a strong sense that electric vehicles are unquestionably the future if you look around. In fact, Elon Musk momentarily became the richest man in the world thanks to Tesla's rising share price, and the business announced its first profitable year since its founding in 2003. Municipalities are also putting in charge stations and expanding their fleet of electric vehicles. In addition, established automakers like Ford and GM have made commitments to stop producing gasoline-powered cars altogether starting in 2035, while direct rivals to Tesla-like Lucid are starting to emerge. Electric vehicles have been around since the late 19th century when the first ones initially appeared. Belgian Camille Jenatzy broke the land speed record in 1899 by traveling 65 MPH in an electric car. Although breaking the 100 KM/H (just over 62 MPH) barrier at the time may not seem all that noteworthy to someone who isn't willingly cruising around in a Fiat 500, it was a huge accomplishment. Is the future actually electric, though? Perhaps not. Global concern over carbon emissions and a desire to reduce them before the situation becomes unmanageable have been the key driving forces behind the hype. Electric Vehicles Aren't as clean as they appear There is no question that they are cleaner overall than fossil fuel-powered vehicles. The fact that your car isn't emitting any pollutants, however, does not imply that it hasn't had any effect on the environment. Carbon emissions from the manufacture of the car itself can account for 5–10% of the CO2 produced throughout a car's lifetime. Due to their batteries, electric automobiles are at the top of the ranking. Like any automobile parts, those batteries will eventually need to be replaced if someone wants to keep their vehicle on the road and lessen its impact on the environment. To their credit, Tesla makes an effort to recycle or extend the life of every lithium-ion battery used in their automobiles. The energy to power the car must come from someplace, though, when it is on the road. Fossil fuels are still generally effective for getting you from point A to point b because they make up around 60% of the electricity produced in the United States from oil, coal, and gas. The range also plays an important role Most conditions are well suited for an electric vehicle. There isn't much risk of becoming stuck on the side of the road halfway through your daily commute if you charge your devices wisely. However, a sizeable portion of the population finds it difficult to monitor their gas gauge, therefore the effects of an empty tank aren't as bad. You can always get to a gas station, fill a can with petrol, and have enough energy to get your car to the pump and properly fill up if you find yourself stuck in your driveway or on the road. Tesla vehicles need a tow truck or a generator to recharge their batteries. Naturally, Tesla will make every effort to notify the driver when it needs to be charged. To save energy, it will indicate nearby charging stations that are still within reach and restrict their own speed. You can still run a flat, though. People ignore the fuel warning lights on regular cars and their cell phones, which are always pleading for a charge. Then there is range. Some of Tesla's models were able to travel more than 400 miles, and electric rival Lucid pledges to break the 500-mile range barrier. As long as you're not the electric equivalent of a quarter-tank person, that's excellent for daily use once more. However, it is not ideal for lengthy car trips. Yes, not everyone needs to travel from New York to Florida in one go, but those who do would undoubtedly prefer to fill up their tank in five minutes than spend several hours waiting for their batteries to recharge at a truck stop. What Alternatives Are There? Hybrid vehicles and vehicles that run on hydrogen are now the two rivals. Electricity and hydrogen both have environmental problems, primarily because the gas is currently extracted using energy-intensive methods. Additionally, of the three possibilities, it is the most expensive. There is still a long way to go before this changes, but it might be when hydrogen extraction techniques are improved and cars are more widely used. The ability to fill your tank with actual gas in about the same amount of time as it takes to fill it with "gasoline" is one advantage. We are unlikely to run out of it anytime soon because it is the most prevalent element in the universe. Another category is hybrids. To give you more range, a typical hybrid powertrain may run on both gasoline and batteries. The idea is straightforward and efficient. Although it still isn't as environmentally friendly as an electric or hydrogen-powered vehicle, it is still better than a standard car. It can be refueled in around five minutes, just like you can with your ordinary vehicle. There are also plug-in hybrids, allowing you to benefit from an electric car's advantages while still having a petrol tank as a get-out-of-jail-free card. Incorporating biofuel into the equation (which may burn up to 86% cleaner than gasoline) improves hybrids and makes it possible to keep today's gasoline-powered automobiles on the road. Electric vehicles are less clean than cellulosic and sugar cane ethanol biomass nationwide, where they are 60% less clean than gas-powered vehicles. Although electric vehicles have advanced significantly, many other forms of mobility do not share their shortcomings. They will improve, but many alternative vehicles could travel far farther.

Overview The Toyota Prius has gotten a makeover! Not only is it still super fuel-efficient (up to 56 mpg on the highway!), but it also finally looks good and is quite fun to drive. This new Prius is available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and it comes with a surprising amount of power (194 horsepower for front-wheel drive, 196 for all-wheel drive). This is a big change for the Prius, which was never known for being stylish or exciting to drive. This move puts the Prius ahead of its competitors, many of which are just now adding hybrid options (like the Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Corolla) with a Honda Civic hybrid on the way. What has Changed For 2024? The Toyota Prius has gotten a major makeover for the 2023 model year, and those good looks and fun driving experience carry over unchanged for 2024. 2024 Toyota Prius: Engine and Performance The redesigned 2024 Toyota Prius carries over its stylish looks and fun driving experience from 2023. It remains super fuel-efficient (up to 56 mpg highway!) and offers two powertrain options. The standard setup is a 194-horsepower hybrid system that combines a 2.0-liter gasoline engine from the Corolla Cross with an electric motor and a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available with a boost to 196 horsepower thanks to an extra electric motor on the rear axle. This new powertrain makes the Prius much quicker, reaching 60 mph in just 7.1 seconds (compared to 10.5 seconds for the previous model) and stopping from 70 mph in a shorter distance too. This puts the Prius ahead of competitors like the Camry Hybrid and Elantra Hybrid in terms of both performance and efficiency. 2024 Toyota Prius: Interior and Comfort The inside of the new Prius isn't quite as stylish as the outside. Unlike the previous model, the gauges are now behind the steering wheel, but you might have to tilt the wheel down a bit to see them. The roofline is also lower, which means a little less headroom in the back seat. Base models come with a fake leather steering wheel, but if you upgrade to a more expensive trim you'll get heated seats in the front and back, and more cup holders for folks in the back seat. 2024 Toyota Prius: Connectivity The new Prius comes with bigger and better screens than ever before. The base LE and XLE trims get an 8-inch touchscreen, while the Limited trim gets a whopping 12.3-inch touchscreen (which is also optional on the XLE). This fancy system understands your voice commands and is updated thanks to wireless updates. It also comes with Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, and can be equipped with Wi-Fi. 2024 Toyota Prius: Pricing The 2024 Prius starts at $29,045 and goes up to $36,060 depending on the trim and options you choose. Which one to Purchase? The Toyota Prius lives up to its reputation for being super eco-friendly, with amazing gas mileage. It's also packed with safety features, so you can feel confident on the road. Even the base model comes with some nice extras, including 17-inch wheels, blind-spot monitoring to help you see what's next to you, and a surprisingly affordable starting price.

Overview The 2023 Prius gets a dramatic makeover! It sheds its boxy design for a sleek, butterfly-like look. This powerful new hybrid boasts 196 horsepower, the most ever for a Prius, while still achieving an impressive 57 mpg combined. Inside, the confusing layout is replaced with a traditional driver-focused space featuring bigger screens and more comfort features. With a sportier look and feel, the Prius remains a leader in fuel efficiency while facing tougher competition from other hybrids. What has Changed For 2023? The 2023 Prius gets a full redesign for its fifth generation. It's sleeker and sportier thanks to the new TNGA-C platform, offering a wider stance and lower driving position. A new hybrid powertrain with 194 hp (196 hp with all-wheel drive) makes it more powerful than ever, without sacrificing fuel economy. This redesigned Prius is a strong contender in the hybrid market, though we'll cover the plug-in Prius Prime in a separate review. 2023 Toyota Prius: Engine and Performance The 2023 Prius gets a single, but powerful, hybrid powertrain option. This 194-horsepower setup utilizes a 2.0-liter gasoline engine paired with a continuously variable transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available with a boost to 196 horsepower thanks to an extra electric motor on the rear axle. This translates to a much quicker car, going from 0-60 mph in just 7.1 seconds, a significant improvement over the previous generation's sluggish performance. Braking is also improved, with the new Prius stopping from 70 mph in a shorter distance than before. 2023 Toyota Prius: Interior and Comfort The 2023 Prius adopts a more conventional interior layout for its fifth generation. Gone is the quirky design of the past, replaced with a driver-focused cockpit that prioritizes comfort and ease of use. A new instrument cluster sits directly behind the steering wheel, a first for the Prius. The lower roofline and seating position contribute to a sportier feel and a lower center of gravity. While base models come with a faux-leather steering wheel, higher trims offer upgrades like heated front seats, additional cup holders for rear passengers, and even heated rear seats. 2023 Toyota Prius: Connectivity The 2023 Prius gets a tech upgrade along with its new design. Both base and higher trims come with larger infotainment screens than before. The standard LE and XLE models come with an 8-inch screen, while the Limited and optional upgrade for XLE boasts a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen. This larger system offers voice control with "Hey Toyota" and keeps your software fresh with over-the-air updates. Smartphone connectivity is also on point with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and you can even get Wi-Fi for on-the-go internet access. 2023 Toyota Prius: Pricing The 2023 Toyota Prius starts at $28,545 and goes up to $35,560. Base LE: Starting at $28,545 XLE: Starting at $31,990 Limited: Starting at $35,560 Which one to Purchase? The Toyota Prius is famous for being super fuel-efficient, which is great for the environment. It also has a lot of safety features and other cool stuff, just like it never needs to fill up for gas. Even the base model comes with nice big wheels, blind spot warnings, and a pretty good price tag.

Overview The 2024 Toyota Crown carves out a unique niche in the market. While the idea of a sedan with a lifted suspension isn't exactly groundbreaking, Toyota's execution here might leave you with a furrowed brow. Unlike other regions, the US market only gets the Crown in this raised form. Looks are subjective of course, so if the styling doesn't immediately win you over, hold on a minute. Step inside and you'll be greeted with an interior that rivals Lexus for sheer luxury. Under the hood, you'll find a choice between two hybrid powertrains, both known for their fuel efficiency. The majority of Crown models come equipped with a 236-horsepower hybrid system that delivered an impressive 42 mpg in our tests. But if you crave a bit more excitement, the top-of-the-line Platinum trim boasts a 340-horsepower turbocharged hybrid setup. This powerhouse goes from 0 to 60 mph in a scorching 5.1 seconds, according to our track testing. What has Changed For 2024? To refine the 2024 Crown, Toyota is making some tweaks to its interior and technology features. The cabin will benefit from improved materials, aiming to elevate the overall fit and finish and solidify the Crown's reputation for luxury. This should be a welcome upgrade for those seeking a premium driving experience. Additionally, safety takes center stage with the expansion of driver-assistance features. The mid-tier Limited trim now has the option to add an Advance Technology package, bundling essential features like adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, lane-change assist, and front cross-traffic alert. These features come standard on the top-of-the-line Platinum trim, making the most equipped Crown even more appealing for safety-conscious drivers. Overall, these changes suggest Toyota is listening to feedback and aiming to make the 2024 Crown a more well-rounded and competitive offering in the market. 2024 Toyota Crown: Engine and Performance The 2024 Toyota Crown offers a choice between two hybrid powertrains, both paired with all-wheel drive. The base XLE and Limited trims come with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and three electric motors for a combined 236 horsepower. This setup provides adequate pep, taking 7.2 seconds to reach 60 mph in tests. These trims utilize a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) for a smooth driving experience. If you crave more excitement, the top-of-the-line Platinum trim boasts Toyota's new Hybrid Max system. This powerhouse pairs a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a rear-mounted electric motor, cranking out a combined 340 horsepower. This translates to a thrilling 5.1-second 0-60 mph time. The Platinum trim also steps up the transmission game with a more engaging six-speed automatic. While prioritizing comfort with its suspension tuning, the Crown isn't completely averse to a bit of fun. The Platinum trim boasts adaptive dampers that firm things up for a more responsive handling experience, making this high-powered Crown surprisingly enjoyable on twisty roads. 2024 Toyota Crown: Interior and Comfort Stepping inside the 2024 Crown, you're greeted by a luxurious and upscale cabin, a fitting match for its unique blend of sedan and SUV. This is especially true for those considering the Limited or Platinum trims, which offer a significant upgrade over the outgoing Avalon sedans. One notable difference is the seating position, raised higher than a traditional sedan for a feel closer to a compact SUV. This might be a welcome change for those who find traditional sedans a bit low-riding. Standard features across all trims include heated eight-way power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and ambient lighting to set the mood. Stepping up to the Limited or Platinum trims adds even more comfort and flair with a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and sumptuous leather upholstery throughout the interior. 2024 Toyota Crown: Connectivity The 2024 Crown boasts a high-tech interior that complements its luxurious feel. A standard 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen takes center stage, featuring Toyota's latest and improved software interface. This system seamlessly integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for wireless smartphone connectivity. Drivers are treated to another 12.3-inch digital gauge display directly in front of them, keeping essential information readily available. For added convenience, the Crown offers a wireless smartphone charging pad, onboard Wi-Fi, and multiple USB-C ports. When it comes to sound systems, there's a split depending on the trim level. The base XLE makes do with a six-speaker stereo, but Limited and Platinum models get an upgrade to an 11-speaker JBL system. While this might sound like a perk, reviews suggest it falls short of expectations. Apparently, the JBL setup lacks the richness and depth of the sound system found in the previous Avalon sedans. This might be a point to consider for audiophiles looking for a truly immersive listening experience. 2024 Toyota Crown: Pricing The 2024 Toyota Crown straddles the line between sedan and SUV, offering a unique driving experience with a touch of luxury. The price reflects this range, starting at $41,445 for the base XLE trim and reaching up to $54,465 for the top-of-the-line Platinum model with its more powerful engine and additional features. XLE: Starting at $41,445 Limited: $47,045 Platinum: Starting at $54,465 Which one to Purchase? Stepping into the 2024 Toyota Crown is like entering a world of unexpected luxury, a step above what you'd normally find in other Toyota four-door offerings. This sense of refinement is present across all trims (XLE, Limited, Platinum), making every Crown a treat for those seeking a comfortable and upscale driving experience. If you're looking for a touch more excitement under the hood, then the top-of-the-line Platinum trim truly stands out. It boasts the exclusive Hybrid Max powertrain, a 340-horsepower powerhouse that delivers exhilarating acceleration. With this system, the Crown goes from 0 to 60 mph in a scorching 5.1 seconds. Considering both luxury and performance, the Platinum trim with the Hybrid Max system seems like the most tempting choice for those seeking a truly special Crown experience.

Overview In the crowded arena of mid-size luxury SUVs, the 2023 BMW X5 carves its niche by offering a compelling blend of performance and refinement. This is a key advantage over many competitors in the crossover segment. The X5's wide appeal stems from its diverse engine options. Drivers can choose between a smooth and powerful 335-horsepower turbocharged inline-six, a scorching 523-horsepower twin-turbo V8, or an eco-friendly plug-in hybrid that delivers up to 30 miles of electric driving. While some rivals like the Genesis GV80 and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class might boast a touch more poshness in their interiors, the X5's cabin doesn't disappoint. It features handsome design elements and premium materials throughout. The X5's handling also leans towards a more engaging driving experience, though it doesn't quite recapture the pure sportiness of some classic BMW models we all know and love. True driving enthusiasts seeking that ultimate sporty feel might gravitate towards a car like the Porsche Cayenne. Nevertheless, the X5's well-rounded excellence, with its combination of thrilling performance, luxurious comfort, and everyday practicality, positions it near the top of its class. What has Changed For 2023? For the 2023 model year, the BMW X5 received a minor refresh focused on interior features rather than mechanical changes. The focus seems to be on streamlining option packages. The Premium package now includes a wireless charging pad for smartphones, but it no longer offers gesture controls for the infotainment system. This change is mirrored in the Executive package as well, which also loses gesture control functionality. BMW has also made some adjustments to its interior material options. The previous high-end Vernasca leather upholstery is no longer available. Additionally, their SensaTec faux leather, which was an alternative for those who preferred a non-animal material, has been discontinued. Replacing SensaTec is a new vegan-friendly faux leather option called Sensafin. 2023 BMW X5: Engine and Performance The 2023 BMW X5 offers a trio of tempting engine choices, ensuring there's a perfect fit for every driver's needs. The base sDrive40i and xDrive40i models pack a punch with a 335-horsepower turbocharged inline-six-cylinder engine. Craving more power and efficiency? The xDrive45e plug-in hybrid pairs the same turbocharged six-cylinder with an electric motor for a combined 389 horsepower, launching from 0-60 mph in a mere 4.7 seconds according to tests. The top dog is the M50i, boasting a twin-turbo V8 engine that unleashes a whopping 523 horsepower and rockets from 0-60 mph in a stunning 3.9 seconds. All X5 models come paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission, guaranteeing an abundance of power in any driving scenario. Beyond the impressive engines, the 2023 X5 boasts significant handling improvements over its predecessor. The ride is refined and composed, while the steering feels more responsive and direct, though not quite reaching the level of a true sports car. Compared to rivals like the Audi Q7, the X5's handling is very competitive. When tackling corners at speed, the X5 inspires confidence and predictability, something missing from the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class. And for those who require towing capability, the X5 excels with a maximum capacity of 7,200 pounds, regardless of the engine chosen. 2023 BMW X5: Interior and Comfort The 2023 X5 offers ample interior space for adults in both the front and back rows, though the optional third-row seating is best suited for children. Passengers will appreciate the high-quality materials throughout the cabin, the abundance of charging ports for electronics, and the potential for a luxurious feel with available features. Standard amenities include power-adjustable front seats with driver's memory settings, a power-adjustable steering column, heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, and customizable ambient lighting. Upgrading the X5 to a true luxury experience comes with a hefty price tag. Options like massaging seats, remote start, soft-closing doors, upgraded soundproofing, a leather dashboard, and heated elements for the armrests and steering wheel can significantly increase the cost. For audiophiles, a top-of-the-line Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system with diamond-accented speakers is available. Cargo capacity is impressive. With the rear seats upright, the X5 swallowed 11 carry-on suitcases in our test. Folding the rear seats down, which can be done from either the side or the back, opens up space for a whopping 26 suitcases. While the rival Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class matched the X5's cargo capacity, its rear seats were more cumbersome to fold. 2023 BMW X5: Battery Life, Charging, and Range The xDrive45e stands out as the fuel-efficient option in the X5 lineup. This plug-in hybrid model packs a 24.0-kWh battery pack, allowing drivers to travel up to 30 miles on electric power alone, as claimed by BMW. The X5 can reach speeds as high as 84 mph in pure electric mode, making it suitable for emissions-free commutes and errands around town. Replenishing the battery is convenient, as it can be done at home using a regular 110-volt outlet or a faster 220-volt outlet. Public charging stations are another option for on-the-go charging. 2023 BMW X5: Connectivity The X5's interior boasts a modern aesthetic thanks to its dual 12.3-inch displays. One display acts as a digital instrument cluster, a popular feature among luxury car manufacturers these days. The other display serves as the infotainment system, featuring the latest version of BMW's iDrive software. Users can interact with iDrive through the touchscreen or a rotary knob located on the center console for a familiar and versatile experience. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, ensuring seamless smartphone integration for all users. 2023 BMW X5: Pricing The 2023 BMW X5 offers a range of trims and options, affecting the price which starts at $62,595 and can reach up to $86,395. So, depending on your desired features and customizations, the price can vary significantly. sDrive40i: This base model starts at $62,595. xDrive40i: This all-wheel-drive version of the sDrive40i starts at $64,895. xDrive45e: The plug-in hybrid option starts at $66,695. M50i: The top-of-the-line performance model with a V8 engine starts at $86,395. Which one to Purchase? Budget-minded performance enthusiasts will likely find the xDrive40i to be the most attractive option in the 2023 BMW X5 lineup. This all-wheel-drive variant offers a thrilling 0-60 mph time of just 4.8 seconds, putting it on par with some sports sedans in terms of acceleration. With standard all-wheel drive, the xDrive40i also provides added confidence and control in all weather conditions. Compared to other X5 models and rivals in this class, the xDrive40i strikes a compelling balance between performance and value. To further elevate the experience, consider adding the Premium package. This package includes a head-up display for keeping your eyes on the road, a four-zone automatic climate control system for personalized comfort, a remote engine start for added convenience, and a Harman/Kardon sound system for an upgrade in audio quality. By opting for the xDrive40i with the Premium package, you get a well-rounded package that delivers exhilarating performance, practicality, and desirable comfort and technology features, all at a competitive price point.

Overview Although the British company Aston Martin is known for its opulence, it has never produced a hypercar on its own. With the release of the Valkyrie, Aston Martin's first foray into the hypercar war, things have changed. The Valkyrie is an aerodynamic, performance-themed speed demon. Aston's cars are normally distinguished by their exquisite, somewhat understated appearance, but the Valkyrie sets a new standard with its extravagant looks. This is the kind of vehicle that appears to belong on a futuristic racetrack or in the upcoming Transformers film. A mind-blowing 1160 horsepower is produced by the hybrid powertrain of the Valkyrie. Pricing starts at $3 million, and there are very few units made. What has changed for 2022? The Valkyrie, an entirely new car, will be offered by Aston Martin starting with the 2022 model year. It gets its name from the Valkyries, who were the spirits in Norse mythology who judged the fates of warriors in combat. This hypercar is the result of a collaboration between Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin. Which One to Purchase? Although the AMR Pro version of the Valkyrie was made specifically for use on race tracks, the ordinary model is street-legal. There will be 150 regular Valkyrie models available. Production of the Valkyrie AMR Pro is restricted to 25 vehicles. The base model of the automobile has more than enough unique features to satisfy a buyer of a hypercar. Rear-facing cameras are fitted on the sides of the automobile instead of outside mirrors to increase aerodynamics. The driver can monitor the blind areas thanks to these cameras, which send images to two cabin monitors mounted on the A-pillars of the vehicle. The absence of a rearview mirror may perhaps have caught your eye. This is due to the absence of a back window. The car's bodywork and roof-mounted engine air intake prevent this feature from functioning. The Valkyrie is made completely of carbon fiber to reduce curb weight. There isn't a single piece of steel in the structure of the car, claims Aston Martin. Despite being excessively pricey, this hypercar has yet managed to generate significant attention. According to Aston Martin, both the regular Valkyrie and the Valkyrie AMR Pro are already out of stock. Aston Martin Valkyrie: Engine and Performance An electric motor and a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 engine make up Valkyrie's hybrid powertrain. The rear wheels receive power from an automated transmission with seven gears. The battery-electric system, created by Rimac and Integral Powertrain, adds 160 horsepower to the V-12's 1000 horsepower total. The combined output of the power sources is 663 lb-ft of torque and 1160 horsepower. The identical drivetrain powers Aston Martin's Valkyrie AMR Pro, but the V-12's calibration has been adjusted to increase horsepower. The AMR Pro has a lower curb weight than the road car, and according to Aston, it can produce more downforce than its weight. Aston Martin Valkyrie: Pricing The Aston Martin Valkyrie is another ultra-exclusive car with a hefty price tag. It starts around $3,500,000 and can go up to $4,000,000 depending on the options you choose. That's because there isn't really a base trim level – very few Valkyries are built, and each one is customized to the owner's taste. Aston Martin Valkyrie: Interior and Comfort There is seating for two in the Aston Martin Valkyrie. The cockpit has a teardrop form, and the seats have been adjusted so that the occupants' feet are elevated. It resembles the seating arrangement of contemporary Formula 1 race cars. For individuals who intend to spend a lot of time at the track, a six-point harness is available in addition to the four-point one that is usual. The whole car's switchgear is mounted on the steering wheel, and critical indications are shown on a single OLED display screen to lessen driver attention and bustle. The switches are available in red, black, or anodized silver. For the upholstery, Aston offers a large selection of hues, designs, and finishes, and there are six eye-catching color options for the seat harnesses. The steering wheel on the Valkyrie is removable, making it simpler to enter and exit the vehicle.

Overview The Toyota RAV4 continues to be a top seller for a reason – it prioritizes practicality over flash. This compact crossover isn't about standing out; it's about competently handling everyday adventures. You won't find a thrill ride here, but you will find a reliable and fuel-efficient companion for conquering your suburban to-do list. While the available all-wheel drive gives it a bit of an adventurous appearance, the RAV4 truly shines on familiar roads. It caters to a wide range of budgets with its diverse trim levels and feature offerings. The standard engine provides smooth acceleration without sacrificing fuel economy, thanks to the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. Toyota goes a step further than its competitors by including a suite of driver-assistance technology and a user-friendly infotainment system as standard features on the RAV4. These are just some of the reasons why the RAV4 remains a tough act to follow for other automakers. There are even hybrid and plug-in hybrid options available for those who prioritize eco-friendly driving. What has Changed for 2022? This year, the RAV4 gets a fresh look with Army Green paint (free on Adventure and TRD Off-Road trims) – a bold option for those who want to stand out. It's also available in a two-tone combo with a white or black roof. 2024 Toyota RAV4: Engine and Performance The Toyota RAV4 gets its muscle from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood, churning out 203 horsepower and paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard across most trims, offering a balance of fuel efficiency and everyday practicality. For those who crave extra capability, all-wheel drive is available on most trims, with a more sophisticated system with torque vectoring on the Adventure, Limited, and TRD Off-Road trims. This advanced system can even disconnect the rear axle for improved fuel economy when not needed. While acceleration is adequate, it won't win any drag races. The focus here is on comfortable cruising, and the RAV4 delivers stable and predictable handling. It tackles everyday commutes and highway stretches with ease, but if you're looking for a sporty thrill ride, there might be better options out there. 2024 Toyota RAV4: Interior and Comfort The RAV4's interior prioritizes practicality over pizazz. Base LE trims offer a utilitarian setup with cloth seats, basic plastics, and manual climate control. If aesthetics are important, you'll want to step up to a higher trim level. XLE trims offer a slight upgrade with a two-tone cabin option and some extra features. But for a truly comfortable and visually appealing interior, the XLE Premium delivers. This trim boasts premium-feeling faux leather upholstery, nicer plastics, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and even stitched accents on the dashboard and armrests. The RAV4 excels in cargo space, with rear seats that fold nearly flat to maximize capacity. While it doesn't quite match the Subaru Forester's cargo capacity, it offers ample room for luggage and gear, making it a great choice for both passengers and cargo. 2024 Toyota RAV4: Connectivity The RAV4 offers two touchscreen infotainment system sizes, depending on the trim you choose. Lower trims get an 8-inch touchscreen, while higher-end Limited and TRD Off-Road trims boast a larger 10.5-inch display. Standard features include smartphone integration with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a convenient 4G LTE mobile hotspot for in-car Wi-Fi. For those who desire a more luxurious audio experience, a JBL premium sound system is available as an option. Navigation and a wireless charging pad for your smartphone can also be added for extra convenience. Another tech upgrade to consider is the digital gauge cluster. While most models come with a separate 7-inch display in the gauge cluster, a larger and more modern 12.3-inch fully digital gauge display is optional on some trims and standard on the Limited. 2024 Toyota RAV4: Pricing The 2024 Toyota RAV4 pricing varies depending on the trim level you choose: LE: Starting at $28,675 (most affordable option) XLE: Starting at $30,185 (most popular trim) XLE Premium: Starting at $33,075 Adventure: Starting at $34,870 Limited: Starting at $36,980 TRD Off-Road: Starting at $38,295 (most expensive option) There are also hybrid and plug-in hybrid options available, but their pricing differs: Hybrid LE: Starting at $31,475 Hybrid XLE: Starting at $32,985 Hybrid SE: Starting at $34,170 Prime SE: Starting at $43,440 Prime XSE: Starting at $47,310 (most expensive overall) Which one to Purchase? While the rugged appeal of the TRD Off-Road is undeniable, for most drivers the XLE Premium trim hits the sweet spot between features and affordability. Compared to the base LE and XLE trims, the XLE Premium boasts a bunch of upgrades that elevate the everyday driving experience. This includes fog lights for better visibility, stylish 19-inch wheels, a convenient power liftgate, and a panoramic moonroof that opens up the cabin. Comfort is also enhanced with dual-zone automatic climate control and heated SofTex seats, a significant step up from the cloth options in lower trims. The XLE Premium doesn't skimp on aesthetics either, replacing the standard hard plastics with nicer materials and treating you to a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob for a more premium feel. The good news is that safety isn't sacrificed by choosing this trim, as Toyota equips all RAV4s with their comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features as standard. So, unless you require the extra off-road capability of the TRD Off-Road or the ventilated seats offered on some higher trims, the XLE Premium seems like a well-equipped and budget-conscious choice.
