Abarth 500 Review 2008
A little over a year has passed since the announcement and, as envisaged in the plan to revive the brand, Abarth & CSpA has kept its promise to return and update all the activities that made his name in history.
To emphasize the authenticity of the project, the activities of the brand immediately focused on the retrieval and update of all activities in the past by Abarth & C., from the direct participation of Italian and international races, the organization of single-brand trophy and preparing cars for customers - moving across the road cars and conversion kits for accessories and clothes that reflect the style Abarth. A new world was reborn around the Abarth brand, the articulation of fundamental values that have purchased this as good fortune in the past: innovation in the design, use of advanced materials and attention to detail. All based on real passion for driving, let alone humans and engineering heritage.

| Abarth 500 2008 |
The Abarth engineers immediately focused on a specific detail that has distinguished itself in a world of Abarth from the beginning: to transfer the experience of motorsport in the world of road vehicles. Abarth has always been synonymous with cars moving, challenges, passion and emotion - and now he is back with the intention to appeal to the dreams of all motor sport fans: in September last year saw the reinterpretation created Abarth Grande Punto and now comes the turn of the new 500 Abarth brand to add a notch to this ambitious project of Fiat Group Automobiles.
This approach is clear and strong, Karl Abarth was the first to create his own re-emerged in the design and production of new models and development of all activities of the brand. Abarth achieved this by using the help of business leaders in the field of motorsport component: Brembo, BMC, Sabelt, FPT-Fiat Powertrain Technologies and Magneti Marelli, among others. Disse important partners for international influence to ensure the highest level of performance and safety through their products exactly in line with the Abarth philosophy.
The new Abarth is primarily a full-fledged business with a diverse organization (led by CEO Luca De Meo), with its headquarters and production facilities in four levels, with a range of products and a dedicated distribution network: flagship store retailers, specialty stores and preparation service shops.
The organization of this trade network encapsulates three key values of the brand of sportiness, authenticity and customer relations. To ensure an authentic shopping experience, the conversion is done with the utmost attention to every detail, in accordance with a unique style, a distillate of references in the real world of Abarth: history, sports cars, tuning, accessories, merchandising and the racing world.
Initial figures indicate that the products are selling as fast as the Abarth: more than 80 dealerships are already operating in Europe, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, France, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands and Greece. By the end of the year, the network should be completed as well as Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Poland: this confirms the goal of 100 dealers in Europe, the same number of officers and about 200 preparatory workshops. Expansion is also affected by non-European markets, starting in Japan in early 2009.
Distribution and preparation of the network, which is unique and has certainly contributed to the enormous success of 155 bhp Grande Punto Abarth 1.4 Turbo T-Jet: more than 2000 cars have been sold for at least nine months since they started selling.
Not to mention that in May last year, two tuning kits for the 155 hp Abarth Grande Punto 1.4 Turbo T-Jet is for sale, one entitled 'Assetto' and other 'esseesse "(the latter also includes an engine modification that increases the vehicle's power to 180 hp) more than 500 kits have been sold in just two months.
The age of the customer is another significant factor: more than 60% are under 30 but over 30% of customers buy the Fiat Group Automobiles Abarth product for the first time. These data confirm the validity of the project, and the second to maintain the historical value of Abarth: allows drivers to enter the world of motor sport in complete safety available in the price.
Now comes the turn of the brand new 500 Abarth to continue on this path, since the absolute respect for one unforgettable past and pursue a world of victories, style and symbols Abarth scorpion logo made into a legend that still stir the blood of car lovers.

Since the driving experience: technology, performance and safety.
Presented at the Geneva Motor Show 78th and should be marketed from July 19 in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, France and the Netherlands, the new 500 Abarth has been developed by the Abarth engineers in spirit of the legendary 500 Abarth of the 1960s.
The new car was created to strengthen the position of the sports brand. On the outside, it looks like a pocket fast, compact car, while the interior offers the best currently available in the field of engineering, safety and technology, remains faithful to the word coined for Abarth cars of the decade of 1960 (small but deadly): real scorpion, that is, able to arouse the passion of thousands of drivers with a taste for challenge, speed, and Italian style. The new 500 Abarth is no exception. This is a heady mix of technology, performance and safety is based on the experience and passion to the world of racing.
Sporty and functional style perfect balance between past and future.
The style of the 500 Abarth, created by the Fiat Style Centre Auto Group is fully in the tradition of the scorpion and is a facade, but also contributes significantly to the car's performance. The best example of this approach to style is the attention devoted to the aerodynamics and the role of certain elements.
For example, the back of the 500 Abarth characterized by the presence of a special bumper, aerodynamic hood, dual exhaust terminal and tailgate spoiler, giving it a sporty look but also an excellent aerodynamics. A scorpion logo is printed above the silent, as the historical Abarth exhaust.
The front is a special statement that the Abarth 500 is a GT on-and-out: the tripartite model formed by the entry consists of a central intake that is greater than the base model, and a top slot (above the plate) there are also wider. The two symmetrical "nostrils" on each side of the bumper correspond exactly to the position of two corresponding intercoolers that can be seen through the openings and are there to make sure air is able to flow in and out.
The front end of the frieze was moved forward to create space for the turbocharger. This makes the side profile of the 500 Abarth more pronounced and significant in the Abarth tradition pitch-perfect on the 1000 TC 850 and TC models, no-nonsense external manifolds are recognizable features of the fire. "Fleet" The Abarth logo on a finned surface that serves as an additional air intake. Abarth badges are positioned on the sides, crossed by a lightning strike in three colors, like on the Abarth 595 and 695 Abarth of the 1960s, to symbolize the brand racing vocation.
Wheels, available in 16 and 17 sizes in inches, are available in different styles: from multispoked wheels and rims bordered by holes (refer to themes forged wheel 1970 is clear).
Run for the inner satisfaction of a sporty driving.
One hundred percent of indoor racing in the 500 Abarth instruments specific function and an analogue gauge to measure turbo pressure. The pressure gauge contains a "GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) LED that lights up to prompt the driver to shift gears.
The most important indicator, sport-graphics-lips on offer continues to glare protection, while three-spoke steering wheel includes a contoured grip for your thumbs, and stabilized at the base to ensure volumes of passengers more space and control of space.
Aluminum pedals with rubber is also more clearly reveals the calling of race, as well as the gear knob (leather is cut with a more ergonomic grip for sports), and handbrake lever grip (leather).
Seats with integrated headrests back to reveal a particular design Abarth around the group to keep the body firmly in position even when cornering. They can be cut into the skin, two blacks or reds, or two different specifications for the fabric.

High level of driving safety and satisfaction.
Created to satisfy the most demanding needs, the 500 Abarth is one of the safest cars in its entire segment. Stable, effective braking is ensured as well as a good pick-up 135 hp power unit and treatment always gives the new car expected to sail through the calm in critical situations. The Abarth 500 is standard with seven airbags (two front, two window bags, dual airbags and knee protection in the second): Record the automotive category. The new model is also technically advanced products are an effective tool to manage the driver (active): such as ABS with EBD (electronic brake force distributor), a sophisticated ESP (Electronic Stability Program), ASR (Anti Slip Regulation) equipment Hill Holder to assist the driver during hill starts and HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assistance) to assist in emergency stops.
For the first time in this segment, including the new 500 Abarth has two features that appeal to all standards, "TTC '(Torque Transfer Control) and' GSI '(Gear Shift Indicator) systems. The first device improves the transfer of torque to the wheels, in particular, guarantees excellent cornering thus making the car safer and more entertaining during a sporty drive. The 'GSI' (Gear Shift Indicator) encourages the driver to shift gears by turning on a specific indicator on the control panel (LED flashes five times in a row). In detail, if the normal mode is selected, the system informs the driver that the fuel savings could be achieved by switching to a different speed. If the driver continues in sport mode, gear changes proposal aims to achieve the best possible performance.
The Abarth 500 also offers all the features, dynamics and comfort that allows users to respond more demanding routes in comfort. This is also due to the configuration of the suspension system front is a MacPherson configuration while the rear suspension interconnected (ie semi-independent) with a torsion beam. Creating a design of Magneti Marelli, both configurations were chosen properly screened and developed for the new vehicle to ensure good handling and high ride comfort.
Powerful, smooth energy sources.
Abarth are known and appreciated around the world of sports cars that are able to offer the challenge of a great tradition of races and victories, thanks to the genius of an exceptional engine. Cars that enhance everyday driving experience with a touch of true and authentic racing driving pleasure.
The new 500 Abarth promotes these qualities, but if necessary can also offer something more: more performance, handling, increased braking capacity. All the dynamic performance of the car on the track, in other words. Especially useful lively engine hiding under the bonnet Fire 1.4 16v petrol Turbo engine that produces a maximum power of 135 hp (99 kW) at 5500 rpm and maximum torque of 206 Nm at 3000 rpm in 'Sport' (in normal mode, the torque is 180 Nm at 2500 rpm). Power source, providing an emotional performance at the same time to make 500 Abarth extremely pleasant to drive, even everyday use.
In detail, the engine 1368 cm3 four-cylinder 16-valve (with turbo IHI fixed geometry turbocharger RHF3-P), which produces a dazzling spectacle. The maximum speed is 205 km / h, but the acceleration of 0-100 km / h takes only 7.9 seconds. This is partly achieved overboost function that activates the "sports button, which is regulated by the control unit and the mapping of the boost pressure at the wheel, in addition to the load but this generally brings with it the Abarth sporting a very low fuel consumption:. 5.4 l/100 km in combined cycle.
The new drive unit, the soft power that also proves to be gentle on the environment: the new Abarth is already designed to meet the more stringent restrictions imposed by the future European standards (Euro 5), and comply with the limits emission is due to take effect in 2009.
It is also worth remembering that the 135 hp 1.4 16V Turbo T-Jet is a new T-Jet family, which applies the philosophy of reduction: the adoption of a new-generation turbocharger, combined with a smaller capacity engine, allows you to achieve performance levels comparable or even better than the higher capacity of energy sources, but the fuel consumption and emissions. Again, the presence of the turbo significantly increases the maximum torque, so it's available in the lower RPMs, but the results are more flexible and unprecedented response compared to conventional aspirated engines. This should be a fundamental simplicity of the benefits of strength and reliability.
Role of telemetry.
Blue & Me ™ MAP telemetry 500 Abarth will make its debut. This adds a very innovative service was developed by Magneti Marelli, the result of know-how built the world race, and to help combine sport performance advantages of the Blue & Me ™ MAP.
The control function shows the most important profession in the vehicle parameters (engine speed, vehicle speed, speed) that is transferred from the Blue & Me ™ at the PND (Portable Navigation Device) Bluetooth.
TRACK function available if the driver is one of the circuits on the SD card, looks set for more information, such as the car's position on the track (using GPS) and travel time.
The setup function allows you to store telemetry data for a route and assign it to an individual session (identified by the name of the driver, circuit, date). The recorded data can be retrieved easily and also analyzed at a later, thanks to the analysis function.
The Blue & Me ™ MAP 500 represents a new frontier in the market for portable navigation system: the system is safe and easy to use because of the high level of integration on board in terms of electrical / mechanical (obtained through support specific in the dashboard) and also in terms of connectivity ensured by a Bluetooth connection to the platform Blue & Me ™.
The advantages of this structure is considerable: the device uses the data from the vehicle CAN network to improve navigation, voice messages are played through the integrated sound system, navigation pictograms are shown on the dashboard and the destination can be specified using the buttons on the steering wheel or via voice commands.

Both models can be very different but they share the same spirit, sportsmanship Abarth scorpion logo, which has demonstrated its ability to ignite the passion of thousands of drivers with a taste for challenges, performance and Italian style. In the words of the motto "More power to the senses," an Abarth car all the senses are stimulated to the max. The perception is amplified by the two teams that ensure improved performance driving and adrenaline In general, conversion kits made empowering Abarth at its highest level.
The Parisian scene also offers a chance to see some new products, created for the Abarth 500 sedan: exhibition stand of a model in the gray new record, with tobacco-colored leather interior, super-athletic 17''legeringer with 5-spoke diamond on a gray background. This blend of sportsmanship and good looks are inspired by the legacy of a fire, which in turn satisfy customers who want a high performance car that is also elegant.
Paris Motor Show is also an opportunity to watch the two pillars of the business model of Abarth cars in progress and the road racing world. So far, about 1600 Abarth 500C and nearly 1,300 cars in the Abarth Punto Evo is sold: these figures testify to a warm welcome to these two cars, and certainly promote the already excellent results achieved since the mark was renewed. Suffice it to say that since 2007 the brand has been a continuous growth, which was reflected in a turnover of almost 28 000 for the Abarth Grande Punto and the Abarth 500 models, in addition to the performance of about 6,000 kits have been designed in two versions.
The 695 Abarth Ferrari Tribute also met with great success. This is the fastest and most efficient route 500 will never, under a joint venture between Ferrari and Abarth, based on shared values that include a passion for performance, the soul of a race, the attention to detail and Italian style. This special limited series and numbered, sold since July and has already won more than 600 orders, of which over half are countries like the UK, France and Germany.
These commercial successes were made possible in part thanks to the extraordinary network of dealers and line officers, an organization that is unique and is spreading to other markets, including Israel, Romania, Cyprus, Lebanon, Finland and Australia.
Abarth sports growth was also steady in 2010, strengthening the brand presence both in meetings and on the track in Italy and Europe. As the meetings are concerned, two official teams compete successfully in the Italian championship with cars Abarth Grande Punto S2000, while the rally version of the 500 Abarth has led to the arrival of the 500 Abarth Rally Trophy Selenia. Monitoring activities have also been very successful. The proven effectiveness of an Abarth 500 Abarth 500 Selenia Selenia Italia trophies and Europe joined this year for the championship reserved for car-ACI-CSAI Formula Abarth cars with the intention of allowing young drivers to show his courage behind the wheel of car experience capacity at an affordable price.
In 2011, high expectations surround the car will debut in Europe, where Formula Abarth championship.
Last but not least, Abarth returns to the Paris Motor Show with a stand excellent, mixing with big world premieres of successful models of stress - again - the brand's unique position in the international automotive scene. The idea behind the design of space is a simplification: the architecture does not use language to interpret the brand, but acts as a basis for improving their values. Abarth and his world on stage and the brand is presented to the public in all its purity and simplicity, in its essence to the fullest. This approach focuses attention on the three new Abarth cars, located in a spacious, three areas of light, a large LED display that represents the central element of the landscape that is ideal for cars. Abarth engineering drawings are well exposed under a glass floor, visible to all, as was the case, when new coverage caps was partially lifted.

Abarth Punto Evo 2010 Review
The new 165 hp 1.4 petrol engine with Turbo MultiAir is the result of the successful union of the powertrain technology (FPT) and the work of Abarth engineers. Since its introduction last year at the Geneva Motor Show, Abarth engineers began working on this new technology to improve performance and make it a real Abarth.
MultiAir marked a break with the normal stage gasoline engine. Compared with a conventional gasoline engine of equivalent size, a MultiAir engine develops more power (up to 10%) and torque (up to 15%), while consuming less fuel (up to 10%) and emit less CO2 (up to 10%).

In the heart of MultiAir is a new electro-hydraulic valve management that allows a reduction in fuel consumption and emissions of air pollutants directly control via the intake valves of the engine without using the accelerator. From this starting Abarth engineering studies and many technical tests before finally produces innovative MultiAir 16v 165 hp 1400. Tuning was done with great care by the engineers who used a new oversized Garrett turbine to ensure victory and athletic performance: a maximum torque of 250 Nm (25.5 kgm) at 2250 rpm for an acceleration of 0-100 km / h in just 7.9 seconds.
As a true sports car, the Abarth Punto Evo is equipped with a driver-controlled system that manages the engine, brakes and steering, which allows two different modes based on the behavior of the vehicle driving the best situation or the customer's wishes: Super Sport (Sports) and urban (Normal).
Selector is located in an ergonomic - in front of the gear selector is in the tunnel - and allows the driver to choose between two operating modes, simply by moving the lever (the choice displayed a message on the control panel). Detail, if you want to get a relaxing drive safely, you can choose between normal mode, but if you want to use the Abarth Punto Evo for a sportier ride, move the position of Sports. This makes the car more responsive, and make electric power steering has been modified to increase the feeling of sportiness load. Greater attention is also paid to security, and automatic activation of the TTC system.

Abarth Punto 1.4 petrol engine Multiair Ages is to improve the innovative & Stop. The device monitors the temporary resumption of the engine cut-off and following the minimum at a standstill. In these situations, typical of heavy traffic in urban areas and when stopped at traffic lights, the system automatically stops the engine when the control strategy can reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 10% in urban areas and 3, 5% of the grade during the NEDC.
As soon as the brake pedal or a gear engaged, the system starts the engine quickly to provide immediate feedback to the user's control. If the engine is turned off accidentally (box), the setting of traffic, can be restarted by simply pressing the clutch.
Start & Stop system offers additional advantages of cabin comfort, because there is no vibration or noise.
The system interacts with the driver is informed of the use of the device using the messages from the control panel and can always turn it off using a control panel near the steering wheel.
The innovative multi power unit ensures sporting performance with low emissions and low fuel consumption. In tests conducted by the Abarth engineers, fuel economy has improved in spite of the high performance motor sport. Specifically, the fuel consumption is 8.1 l/100 km in city driving, 6.0 l/100 km combined cycle and 4.8 l/100 km in the extra urban cycle. MultiAir engine emissions are low, ensuring receipt of Euro 5 emissions of just 142 g / km.

The development of active and passive safety.
Abarth's philosophy is to ensure the performance of sport in complete safety. For this reason, the Abarth Punto Evo is to improve the facilities that provide the best dynamic performance on any surface.
The icing on the cake is TTC Torque Transfer Control. This improves the transfer of torque to the wheels, in particular, guarantees excellent cornering, making the car safer and more entertaining during a sporty drive. Specifically, the TTC is a differential system that uses such technology as a reactive element, distribute torque through the braking system through the ESP sensors (wheel speed, steering angle, yaw, etc.).
The TTC is automatically activated in sport and self-regulates the level of block after the dynamic properties such as speed.
In the field of security, makes Punto Abarth Evo new standards because of its seven airbags including a driver's knee bag. It is one of very few cars in its segment with a knee bag for the driver as standard on all versions.
The Punto Abarth Evo brakes are powerful and effective. Disc brakes are fitted on all wheels. The front brakes are ventilated with Brembo twin-piston fixed. The suspension system is based on a tested configuration Abarth, the front is a MacPherson suspension and independent rear suspension is a continuous process (semi-independent) with a torsion beam. Compared with normal brake systems Abarth overhaul, anti-roll bar, oversized, and the front springs are 20% stiffer. These improvements provide impeccable road holding while maintaining a high degree of comfort.
Race-inspired aerodynamic developments.
What's the respect, the work of the Punto Abarth, Evo is designed to improve the performance of attention to aerodynamic considerations.
Compared to Fiat, the front bumper has been extended so that it works perfectly with side flaps and front valence is printed at the base to make room for the intake side, to guide and correct the air flow to improve significantly the aerodynamic flow , drawing inspiration from the rally version.
The completely redesigned rear bumper with side vents and diffuser includes a new badge, which is optimally channels the air flow. Compared to the previous version, the speaker is now without a frame to give more attention, and its appearance reflects the front splitter.
The dual exhaust is larger diameter, an obvious homage to the history of Abarth, and also different satin finish.
Reversing and rear fog functions were moved to the middle of the diffuser to draw attention, like in Formula 1. New face reflector frame and highlight the airfoil almost as if to reflect the effects of LEDs on the rear window.
Spoiler is a completely renewed in terms of color (it is now the same color as the body to make the lines of the car more consistent and dynamic) and, above all, its volume: the new time, the conical shape of the CX and CZ to improve performance, the Abarth Punto EVO more stable.
The "mustache" just around the logo has been completely revised and made more athletic because of the appearance of the grid. Similarly, the badge is no longer on the icon around the car before, but returned to the historical form already in the 500th Abarth
The side strips and side skirts in body color is to highlight the attitude of a car is very close to the ground. The side of graphic design is now part of the front bumper and it was changed to stabilize the proportions of the side panel making the surface color of the body slimmer. Another new feature has been redesigned wheel covers 17''à Abarth rays inspired by the symbol, the scorpion, which is also evident in the hubcaps.
The interior is completely renovated. Appearance and finishing materials used are similar to the road surface on the slopes, which takes the feeling of the track inside the cab.
The new central console is divided into two parts, a radio module with a glossy black finish, which is located in the middle of the LCD. Air conditioning can be found below, in a separate panel, the vents are above the storage space.
The instruments of conduct specifically caused by high speed counter function Jaeger faces, a new graphic design and sporty design the hood to protect against the Sun leather adorned with red stitching and yellow.
Jobs, the new structure is evident. Soft black leather is used to cut the seat and back in the same containment bands are cut in a hi-tech fabric to provide the right balance of comfort, breathability and abrasion resistance.
Just as before, you can still install the Abarth Racing monocoque Sabelt seats, which offer the best possible combination of features such as lightweight sports seats and the ability to hold the body in the presence of lateral and longitudinal forces.

Interior Design and Special Features
The cabin was written as Volvo XC90 was the move to its current elegant design aesthetic, and it has stood the test of time remarkably well. Virtually all materials are high quality and controls are elegant and intuitive. Intermediate position in the second row has an integrated child seat booster that slides forward, allowing easier access for children in the back.
Release in the quarters at the back are better than many competitors, even if it comes at the expense of legroom second row. The cargo capacity is just 8.8 cubic feet behind the third row, but it expands to a generous 93 cubic feet with second and third rows folded.
Driving Impressions
2011 Volvo XC90 is the base model 3.2-liter in-line-6 is fighting with a loud voice to get this speed of heavy vehicles, just do not always have to move almost 5000 pounds. Performance and refinement of the V8 is worth a significant improvement with minimum fuel consumption. Both XC90 models walking quietly and smoothly on the road, but hardly athletic. 3.2 R-Design feels more buttoned up with the sport suspension and steering, but is saddled with smaller engines.

Interior Design and Special Features
Interior materials of the 2012 Volvo S60 is on par with the rest of the class of the luxury sedan entry level. The more wear on the dashboard and the doors do not fit everyone, but we can not deny that the interior leather, vinyl and plastic materials are of quality. Volvo's unique take on the accents of wood and metal, also the cabin of the S60 personality than most of its rivals.
Simple dual temperature control, and call the icon "man of mode" will make the climate adjustments simple and intuitive. The audio system is quite easy to use, although a number of small buttons on the audio starts to look dated. Available DVD navigation system then removes the complexity of back-of-the-wheel controls the past, Volvo and more conventional dial-type controller. The interface works well in practice, however, is still Volvo's navigation software in a few years behind.
One of the front seats of Volvo, expect a great long-distance comfort and proper support. Unfortunately, the backseat is not so accommodating. The seats themselves are supportive, but the room space for the legs and the foot is tight for adults over the 5-foot-8. Competitors such as the C class and 3 series are of comparable size, but the Acura TL and Cadillac CTS are hospitable.
12 cubic feet capacity of the tribe is a little small for the class too, but a little more lift height for easy access to space. The two rear seats and folding front passenger seat, and there is a separate ski pass-through.

This is a sure-footed comfort weighted operator with the steering, which feels a lot without being heavy.
The T6 engine is smooth and powerful and all-wheel drive system can transfer different degrees of power to each wheel to optimize traction and cornering or on slippery roads. The new base model T5, for its part, the lines along with luxury cars such as entry-level 328i and C300, as the nature turbo offers better low-end torque over its competitors aspirated V6.

Sleek, streamlined and efficient.
When the balance of spaciousness, unique, sophisticated style, smooth and aerodynamic, the Prius against a low 0.29 coefficient of drag, which prevents the pack comfortable vehicle. This is a new vehicle was designed from the outset, in a form that has developed the Prius, rather than a stretched version.
Maintaining a low air resistance is the familiar triangular shape Prius, adapted to a larger size. A flat surface on the front of the vehicle by the front pillar is working with the next "aerocorners" the flow of air exceptionally clean. The smooth facade sheet is based on a carefully designed roof and the cabin, leading to a cabin in order to optimize the way, which acts to converge the air side and roof. Wheels and wheel covers are designed with the aerodynamic effects in mind. These and others also have the beneficial effect of eliminating wind noise.
Improving the cleanliness, the design of low wind resistance are materials that maintain the Prius v relatively light and easy to move. The door panels are foam injected polypropylene-covered table with light weight urethane to produce a weight gain of about 20 percent. Significant weight reduction is also achieved by using high-strength steel grades through the body along the body panels of aluminum and key systems.
High strength steel plates and beams used throughout the body structure to ensure a light but highly rigid chassis.

Prius is an air conditioner with cooling capacity improved to handle a larger car. The system uses an electric compressor, while the air conditioner can operate without depending on the engine and component design improvements for better performance at peak cooling demand.
Proven Hybrid Synergy Drive System is now more diversified.
Hybrid Synergy Drive system for the Prius v is essentially the same as the current third-generation Prius. The system uses two high-performance engines, one of (80 hp) units of 60kW, which operates primarily in the power compact, lightweight, transaxle, and the other a smaller motor, which operates primarily in the supply current. Most of the motor control voltage is 650 volts DC. Proven and practical nickel-metal hydride battery is the same third-generation Prius liftback, but the cooling channel in the rear seat.
As with the current generation Prius cars, Hybrid Synergy Drive system, a series-parallel hybrid that can provide a power of two engines alone, or the engine alone or a mixture of both. A control unit controls the hybrid system so that optimum power is delivered as requested by the driver. It uses a start / stop and braking to save fuel and recharge the battery after a deceleration.
Hybrid Synergy Drive is built around a specially designed, efficient 98 hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder that runs on the Atkinson cycle and contributes to an overall power system of the 134th Key elements include an electric water pump does not require belts, and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), which allows the engine to warm quickly, which reduces fuel consumption when the engine is cold. Compact and lightweight, the engine produces minimal noise and vibration. Sophisticated control valve, injector design, and other technologies to reduce emissions of allowing the Prius to qualify for the SULEV emission standards and Bin3 Tier2.
Four driving modes.
In addition to driving standard Prius too v drive system includes an eco-driving mode, an EV mode and power mode. Power mode provides improved midrange easy answer to dealing with the slopes and mountainous terrain. In EV mode, v Prius run on battery only for short distances and speeds below about a mile. Eco driving, engine management system gives priority to fuel economy, steering throttle response and reduce the power consumption of air conditioning.
Pitch and bounce handling, better ride, better handling.
A new feature Control, Pitch and Bounce, working with improved suspension to improve ride comfort and control. V Because the Prius is a car most likely to carry loads and passengers, front and rear suspension components have been redesigned to improve handling and ride quality. Coil-over before spring and the damping capacity increased significantly and a new top bracket is designed. Control plants was linked to the body front suspension and stabilizer bar is moved to feel more responsive steering and a very comfortable ride improved.
The rear design of the suspension torsion springs have been fitted with good listening and shock absorbers. The new rear suspension system is designed to help ensure stability and ride comfort, and has a weak point mounting to improve luggage space.
Bounce and pitch control with hybrid engine torque to improve comfort and control. The system, working with sensors and wheel speed in harmony with the suspension, helps eliminate the bounce and movement combine to improve occupant comfort. Because that controls balance and posture of the vehicle as a whole, but also works to improve handling response.
The standard wheels are 16 inches in diameter, with 17-inch wheels optional.
Cutting Edge Security.
A number of standard features and available to maintain the tradition of packaging equipment Prius premium level. At least not among them a wide range of advanced features, both active and passive, designed to help maximize the safety of occupants.
The all-new Prius v platform is designed with a force-absorbing structure of the body. Increased use of high-strength steels, particularly in the front spar, is an important part of ensuring a strong body structure without adding weight. Help protect the cab of the side or rear entry is also developed using high-strength steel reinforcements, all designed to dissipate energy in a strategic way in the car to help protect passengers.
Like all models of Toyota, the Toyota Prius will offer v Star Safety System ™ standard, which includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), traction control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. It also has the standard of intelligence-stop brake override system.
Electronic tire pressure monitoring is standard, and has seven airbags strategically located around the house, including driver's knee airbag. New drivers and front seat design helps reduce the chance of injury from whiplash in certain types of collisions, while minimizing weight. New system will notify the vicinity of the vehicle to warn pedestrians and cyclists and oncoming vehicle under certain conditions, emits a signal of warning.
The available Pre-Collision System (PCS) withdraws from the seat belts and slow down in some circumstances, when the front of the collapse is inevitable. It is combined with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
Another security system available, Safety Connect, can access a call center with a live operator who can send police cars and emergency. The system combines automatic collision notification and stolen vehicle locator function, which tracks the location of stolen vehicles using GPS and a police guide to get it.
Peace of mind protection guarantee.
36-meses/36 Toyota, 000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty applies to all other components of normal wear and maintenance. Additional 60 months warranty covers the powertrain for 60,000 miles and corrosion with no mileage limit. Hybrid related components, including the HV battery, control module of the battery module, hybrid control and inverter with converter are covered for eight years/100, 000 miles.
V The Prius also comes standard with Toyota Care, a maintenance plan that covers the factory regularly scheduled, 24 hours roadside assistance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.
V Prius will be one of first to offer Toyota Entune ™ entertainment system. For the first time in a Toyota car that uses this innovative system, the mobile smartphone to provide a richer driving experience with a fully integrated access to navigation, entertainment and information.
Toyota Entune made his debut for the first time, in practice, to support mobile applications, such as Bing, an open table, and movietickets.com as well as access to useful travel related services such as live weather, the traffic, fuel information (location and value), stocks, and sports. Entune Toyota leads the largest selection of music from alternative vehicles such as iheartradio of 750 + stations and Pandora's personalized music service.
Audio systems combined with better Entune function in class A, an advanced conversational voice recognition that allows the driver to concentrate on the road, eliminating the need to memorize thousands of voice commands. The system also allows reading and rereading audio text messages to return, with the ability to respond with "rapid response message" pre-set as ".'m Driving and respond later"
Sleek, streamlined and efficient.
When the balance of spaciousness, unique, sophisticated style, smooth and aerodynamic, the Prius against a low 0.29 coefficient of drag, which prevents the pack comfortable vehicle. This is a new vehicle was designed from the outset, in a form that has developed the Prius, rather than a stretched version.
Maintaining a low air resistance is the familiar triangular shape Prius, adapted to a larger size. A flat surface on the front of the vehicle by the front pillar is working with the next "aerocorners" the flow of air exceptionally clean. The smooth facade sheet is based on a carefully designed roof and the cabin, leading to a cabin in order to optimize the way, which acts to converge the air side and roof. Wheels and wheel covers are designed with the aerodynamic effects in mind. These and others also have the beneficial effect of eliminating wind noise.
Improving the cleanliness, the design of low wind resistance are materials that maintain the Prius v relatively light and easy to move. The door panels are foam injected polypropylene-covered table with light weight urethane to produce a weight gain of about 20 percent. Significant weight reduction is also achieved by using high-strength steel grades through the body along the body panels of aluminum and key systems.
