Filed in Toyota Highlander Comments Off

In the International Auto Show for North America in 2004, Japan’s Toyota Motor Corporation revealed a new hybrid vehicle, the Highlander hybrid. In fact, it was such a success at the Auto Show that the Highlander was put into mass production as a fuel-efficient hybrid and then brought to the market, labeled as a 2006.

The Toyota Highlander is another in a line of Toyota’s hybrid vehicles, designed with the Hybrid Synergy Drive that Toyota has used in all of their hybrid vehicles. It is a unique technology specific to the Toyota line, and is used in both Toyotas and Lexus’s. The Highlander uses the same platform of technology and design as the Camry Hybrid by Toyota, as well as Lexus RX 400h. For the most part, this particular hybrid is definitely similar to sedans and SUVs, but has its own unique modifications.

This particular vehicle is mainly a good hybrid marketed in and to the U.S. Consumers. They have a very strong desire to go green these days, and so they are attempting to find any method they can to limit gas consumption, as well as lower their own expenses. With gas at around $3.25 and with no signs of decreasing in the future, the desire to save any money is a very strong one, especially in the U.S. That is not to say that this vehicle isn’t distributed elsewhere, in fact, in Australia this Toyota is now known as the Kluger hybrid.

As for how this particular vehicle operates, the controls and instrumentation of the vehicle are the same as those used in a conventional Highlander in operation. The actual feel of the vehicle, as well as the sound of the actual Toyota is what sets it apart from other vehicles. When you start the vehicle the dashboard lights up at the moment of ignition, and then the entire vehicle appears to be ready for you to drive, as the button of the same name flashes to you. While driving, the computer system in the Highlander will automatically activate, then cease the gasoline engine’s operation so that you are not wasting more gasoline than necessary. The battery power in the vehicle actually allows the SUV to operate fully at lower speeds, while moving in traffic and stopping. This entire description simply reflects the fuel economy of the vehicle that puts it above other hybrid SUVs.

Hyundai Eon the cheapest hatch from Hyundai

Filed in Hyundai Comments Off

Hyundai’s all-new small car is the Eon. From the first looks we can tell you that the Hyundai Eon is going to stay on the roads for a long time to come.

Initially the Hyundai Eon was kept under the wraps with the codename HA. The Hyundai Eon is expected to battle with other small cars like the Alto and the A-Star and is all set to dethrone Maruti as the market leader in the small car segment. The car looks neatly done with utmost care taken even for the minute details.

The Eon certainly has the looks to keep your eyes gazed on it for quite some time. The Hyundai Eon too also embodies the modern fluidic styling and gives it all the characteristics of a low cost car. The wheel arches and shoulder line are all quite intriguing for a small car and don’t be surprised if you ever come up across something similar to the Eon only in the likes of Mercedes-Benz CLS. The front fiasco has a shade of the Hyundai’s hexagonal grille up front and eye catchy floodlights with the chrome.

The wheelbase is similar to the likes of other small car contemporaries with measurement of 2380mm. However it is on the shorter side compared to the Santro and light in weight as well. The steel has been craftily used with altering thickness making the Eon both Stubborn and nippy in weight. The car is only a meager 715-795kg taking it to the likes of Maruti’s Alto, which is saying something. The interior of the car shares the credit with the well knitted out i10, and is cleverly arranged with little shelves and cubbyholes. The car is bolstered with enough features like a CD player, USB audio, remote locking, a shift indicator on the dash and tilt steering. The windscreen is on the steeper side and shorter as well.
