A vehicle purchase is a big financial decision. It is one of the major expenses households have to shoulder. Given just how much money is spent on buying a vehicle, it’s important to get it right.

You certainly do not want to buy a vehicle that turns out unsuitable for your needs. Similarly, you want to finance your vehicle purchase in the most optimal way. This article discusses the most important factors to consider when buying a car.

Automotive


The metrics of 0 to 60 mph or a quarter mile time is just one page taken out of the thick book of automotive performance and there’s a much bigger picture to being the champion of this one measurement. However, when it comes to bragging rights, Tesla made headlines and justifiable bragging rights for owners of the new Tesla Model S Plaid (1,020 horsepower) as it demolished everything with a 0-60 mph time of about 2 seconds and shattering the quarter mile in 9.4 seconds (give or take).

In the horsepower and “quickness” wars of electric vehicles (EVs), there’s a new battle upon us that we’ve never seen before. One that takes advantage of that instant torque from electric motors and sending a family sedan down a drag strip (or your local street) that almost defies the laws of physics, at least for a “car.”

Experienced by Kimatni D. Rawlins, www.AutomotiveRhythms.com

It was an insightful media trip to Franklin, TN to visit with product planners, communications professionals, and Mitsubishi Motors engineers for a deeper understanding of the newly released 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The sporty and family SUV PHEV, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, has a combined driving range of 420 miles. If you decide to cruise around town in EV mode only, the battery affords the Outlander 38 all-electric miles. The Japanese seven-seat, three-row SUV is a winner for consumers looking for a crossover utility blessed with talent, sporty styling, rugged capabilities, and extended range.

From the time the reimagined gasoline model hit the scene last year, the company’s 330 dealer partners across the United States have been engaged and selling Outlanders like holiday cupcakes. We are not sure why Mitsubishi took so long to reinvigorate the product, but they are no longer a

D-Ford takes human-centric design to the next level

For commercial drivers, their vehicles play a central role in their business success. These vans and trucks rack up high mileage and often double as mobile offices. In many cases, drivers are working to high-pressure efficiency targets where every second counts. Monitoring the changing needs of this segment is no easy task.

Ford is the leading commercial vehicle brand in both the US and Europe, and plans to keep that title. To do so, it must not only respond to user feedback but also anticipate it. That task falls to D-Ford.

D-Ford serves as Ford Motor Company’s Global Innovation ‘start-up lab’ focused on developing human-centred design. “We’re putting the customer right at the heart of our design process,” says Usha Raghavachari, Lab Director at D-Ford.

2022 Hyundai Tucson XRT AWD Review & Test Drive : Automotive Addicts

2022 hyundai tucson xrt awd

The Hyundai Tucson has proven to be a worthy contender within the mainstream compact crossover segment as its respectable sales figures will reiterate. Having experienced many of the trim levels of the new Tucson from its recent full redesign for the 2022 model year, I fully understand why you see so many on the road.

The new 2022 Hyundai Tucson is a decent vehicle out on the road with a comfy ride that’s easy to navigate. The one downfall remains to be its powertrain’s power output being a little sluggish from the onset. However, once things get moving and you become adapted to how the Tucson performs without having high expectations, things are rather agreeable for most and the purpose such a vehicle serves.

2023 mercedes-amg s63 e performance

The Mercedes-Benz S Class has been a benchmark for a full-size luxury sedan for nearly as long as it has been in existence.
