Toyota – going the extra mile

D

rivers like you are spending longer hours on the road, up on the farm, or moving from job to job, so Toyota has improved the Hilux to meet the demand for safer vehicles with the addition of Toyota Safety Sense for drivers like you who are spending longer hours on the road.

Toyota Safety Sense is a package of active safety systems designed to keep you and your passengers protected in all types of traffic.

Around town and at lower speeds Toyota Safety Sense can help prevent collisions, while on the open road and at higher speeds it aims to reduce the severity of any impact by supporting your awareness and decision-making with leading safety technology.

Road Sign Assist monitors road speed signs using a camera and then displays the current speed limit to the driver via the Multi-Information Display.

The system can be configured to provide an audio and/or visual alert if the vehicle speed exceeds a designated threshold above the posted limit.

Lane Departure Alert is designed to reduce the possibility of an accident due to

your vehicle unintentionally drifting out of its lane.

The system recognises visible white and yellow lane markings and if it detects the possibility of lane departure, will urge you to steer back into the lane using a warning buzzer and a visual display.

The system can also provide assistance by applying a small braking force for a short time to help the driver keep the

vehicle in its lane.

If the system detects the vehicle is swaying (or wandering) within its lane, which is often the result of a driver who is tired, distracted or not looking ahead, a warning buzzer sounds and the decrease in attention is shown using a display on the dash.

The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and a camera to determine whether a frontal collision with another vehicle,

pedestrian or cyclist is imminent.

This system has enhanced low-light capabilities to help detect pedestrians at night, and the camera and millimetre-wave radar can also detect cyclists during the day.

If the system detects a frontal collision may occur it will warn you with an audio and visual alert to urge you to take evasive action. It then prepares the Brake Assist system to provide maximum braking assistance, if you do not brake in time it may also automatically apply the brakes to help you avoid the collision or reduce the speed of the impact.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control helps make driving safer by keeping a constant pre-set distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead, enabling you to pay more attention to the road conditions and the vehicles surroundings.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control operates when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40km/h and maintains an adjustable vehicle-to-vehicle distance by automatically accelerating up to a set speed or decelerating your vehicle to match the speed changes of the vehicle ahead without having to use the accelerator or brakes.

he High Performance 2.3L Mustang will join the New Zealand line-up in February 2020 with a more potent, customisable turbocharged model, reflecting customers’ calls for a unique performance version alongside the 5.0-litre V8 Mustang GT. The MY2020 High Performance 2.3L Mustang will be offered in the Fastback body style and is distinguished by a series of unique visual elements.

Beginning with a new specific front grille, the MY2020 turbocharged model uses the Mustang GT’s more aggressive front splitter, flanked by Magnetic mirror caps and aggressive bonnet spears.

Detailing includes stand-alone

badging, which sees an offset Pony tribar proudly up front, with the same red-white-and-blue design on the rear centre cap. The new Mustang also features a Magnetic lip spoiler as standard, while boasting unique badging and machine-finished 19-inch alloy wheels.

The MY2020 High Performance 2.3L Mustang brings with it more power and capability.

The Ford Performance-developed 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine develops 236kW at 6200rpm and 448Nm of torque at 3800rpm – the highest output for a road-going production Ford four-cylinder in history – and is offered with an advanced 10-speed paddleshift automatic.

THE NEW GEN CARRERA P orsche is expanding its eighth-generation range with the 911 Carrera.

The new sports car is being launched as a Coupe and Cabriolet, and generates 283 kW (385 PS) from its 3.0-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine with biturbo charging.

The Carrera is the entry-level 911 model and offers 11 kW (15 PS} more power output than its predecessor did.

It shares its premium-quality standard features virtually unchanged from the 911 Carrera S.

These include the high-quality interior with 10.9-inch touchscreen display, comprehensive connectivity and also innovative assistance systems like the Porsche Wet Mode that ensures even safer handling on wet roads.

The 911 Carrera is distinguished by smaller dimensioned wheels and brakes and the individual tailpipe covers on the exhaust system.

As with the Carrera S model, the engine, chassis and brakes are designed for exclusive sportiness.

of the 911 Carrera generates power largely through the smaller wheel diame- ters of the turbines and compressors that feature in the new turbochargers.

Power transmission is handled by the new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK). This enables the 911 Carrera Coupe to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, with a top speed of 293 km/h.

The optional Sport Chrono Package shaves a further 0.2 seconds off the sprint.

The combined fuel consumption (NEDC-correlated) of the Coupe is 9.0 1/100 km, while the Cabriolet records this

figure as 9.2 1/100 km.

The driving dynamics set-up includes 235/40 ZR tyres on 19-inch alloy wheels on the front axle. The mixed tyre configuration features 20-inch wheels with 295/35 ZR tyres at the rear.

Stopping power is provided on both axles by 330-millimetre brake discs with black, four-piston monobloc fixed callipers.

The price of the 911 Carrera Coupe starts at $217,500, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet at $232,500 and can be ordered now, with first deliveries planned for early 2020.

RX evolution

L

exus New Zealand’s most popular vehicle, the RX, has been refreshed by Lexus engineers who have tweaked its handling as well as packing the SUV with the latest in automotive technology.

As a result, the new RX, available in October 2019, will be one of the most technologically advanced vehicles in the Lexus portfolio, one that already stands for brave design and takumi craftsmanship.

The engineers scrutinised every part of the vehicle, and made enhancements to the rigidity of the body and suspension system, as well as adding a new shock absorber and brake control system.

The 2019 RX will be available with a

self-charging hybrid (RX 450h) or petrol-only (RX 350) powertrain. Either can be purchased as a standard model, or as an F-Sport or Limited model, both of which have a large range of extras including the Blade Scan headlights, custom drive modes in the F-Sport variant, and premium alloy wheel designs.

All RX versions are All Wheel Drive and are powered by a 3.5 litre V6 engine. The petrol-only RX 350 produces 221kW and the self-charging hybrid 450h has a total output of 230kW. In 2019, self-charging hybrid Lexus vehicles have been outselling conventional petrol-only options. Lexus NZ expects this preference for the more environmentally-friendly option to continue to gather pace, especially if the government goes ahead with its proposal to add a levy to high-emitting vehicles in 2021.

T

he name Klondyke has both an air of chilly mystery and history about it.

So our RAV journey took us there, onto the RDR intake from the Rangitata River and then about the secondary roads about the foothills.

Anyone thinking that this new hybrid RAV would be softer or less capable than its immediate petrol or diesel predecessors in these sorts of whereabouts will be very wrong.

For a start, this versatile, higher riding, five0seat E-Four is not only the quickest ever RAV, with an 0-100kmh time in just over 8 seconds, but as well can tow the same 1500kg as its latest 2.5-litre petrol siblings.

There’s three hybrids featuring in the new eight-model RAV line up.

They include GX and GXL, models as well as the Limited as tested.

Then, with the other 2-litre and 2.5-litre petrol models including the top of the range Adventure model, Toyota justifiably reckon there’s a RAV in the range to suit a wide variation of driver requirements, needs and road conditions.

That’s of course as long as diesel power is not one of these.

RAV’s are built on a new platform with a lower centre of gravity and increased rigidity.

This certainly showed with the E-Fours neat handling and ride comfort.

In these respects I liked the steering feel and the nimble, predictable manners it showed through tighter corners, both on seal and shingle.

The figures confirm the RAV’s lower and longer look.

However the ground clearance is 190mm and with everything nicely tucked away

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

underneath, together with the clever all-wheel-drive system, adventures are certainly not restricted.

Of course being a hybrid adds some obvious weight, with the electric motors and battery pack.

But, as noted, this is certainly does not affect either the handling or the eager performance.

Its not only quicker, but more frugal fuel-wise than the straight 2.5-litre petrol versions because of the contributions of the electric motors.

The hybrid system decides when and from where the power is coming from.

The electric motor on the rear axle is activated from standing starts, also when slippage is detected, like through corners and on shingle.

For tracks etc there’s a selectable Trail mode, which sorts out the best power delivery for rougher conditions.

This hybrid package produces 131kW and 221Nm courtesy of the petrol engine, with a further 32kW from the battery/electric motors for a total 163kW. It’s mated to an electronically-controlled, quick acting, continuously variable transmission (E-CVT).

This results in smooth, quick acceleration without needing high revs from the petrol engine.

The 245V NiMH battery, which sits under the back seat, is charged by the hybrid’s generator.

Toyota give a combined fuel use figure of 4.8L/100km.

With our hinterland drives, cross-country cruising and then about town, the trip computer showed 6.4L/100km over 370km.

The spacious, larger person-friendly in both front (heated) and back seats cabin has both a very modern look and feel about to it, and the only hints of it being a hybrid are a power/economy/charge dial instead of a rev counter and the EV mode selection button.

Its nicely normal in both appearance and operation, with a very good mix of styling, quality, comfort and practicality.

The latter includes rubber lined oddments storage and fitted rubber floor mats (you choose either these or carpet versions).

There’s a large touchscreen for the infotainment system (all models come with dedicated Sat-Nav and all speed radar cruise control), and being a Limited the sound system is a nine-speaker JBL, all of which can be highlighted by unveiling the sunroof above the front seats.

Not only is there a rather cavernous 542 litres of luggage space (NB golfers), it is accessed via a smart tailgate.

The spare wheel sits below.

Other features of the RAV’s excellent standard Safety Sense package include a comprehensive pre-collision system, road sign assist, lane tracing assist, automatic high beam, blind-spot/rear cross-traffic alert, 360-degree camera with active guidelines, front and rear parking sensors, trailer sway control and seven airbags.

FINALE This E-Four RAV hybrid showed just how well it melds its petrol and electrical assistance into an SUV, and how very suitable it is for the variety of driving conditions and recreational opportunities that we are lucky enough to have at our back door.

What’s more does all this with absolutely no thoughts of range anxiety!
