the Chevrolet Volt will be on sale in limited quantitites

The Chevrolet Volt is a mid-sized car with a 5-door lift back body style. It has a front-engine, front-wheel drive layout. Its engine consists of 149 hp electric motor and a 1.4 L 4-cylinder for powering a 74 hp generator. It measures 4,500 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width and 1,430 mm in height. A person who drives less than 40 miles a day is guaranteed to use zero gasoline and produce zero emission. The Volt makes use of a gasoline powered, range extending engine which drives a generator to produce electric power when the lithium-ion battery is exhausted. This happens when the vehicle is driven beyond the 40-mile battery range.

Beginning December 2010, the Chevrolet Volt will be on sale in limited quantitites and in limited markets in the United States. This unique car, powered by a lithium-ion battery pack and supplemented by a 1.4-liter four cylinder engine, has been in the works for several years. The hype has far exceeded the product's impact, nonetheless the Chevy Volt could eventually lay the groundwork for future vehicles utilizing what GM calls its Voltec technology.

The 2011 Chevrolet Volt Released In December 2010

General Motors is seeking to regain its hold in the auto industry by introducing a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle known as the Chevrolet Volt. Launched in December 2010 as a 2011 model, it was first offered at a retail price of $41,000.00 before factory incentives, tax deductions and other subsidies. It is also available through a lease program consisting of 36 monthly payments of US $350.00 plus $2,500.00 at lease signing and an option to buy at the end of the lease term. At least seven regions were included in the initial launch area with nationwide availability expected to happen within 12 to 18 months.

The makers of Volt refer to it as an Extended Range Electric Vehicle because of the vehicle's range-extending gasoline powered internal combustion engine. General Motors purposely avoids the term "hybrid" to describe the Volt. However, industry experts see it as a plug-in series hybrid because the internal combustion engine and electric motor is combined in a series rather than parallel.

The Chevrolet Volt Released Review and Detail pictures

With the expected rare use of the gas and generator, there are concerns about having unused gas going stale unnoticed. The engine must occasionally be cycled to keep this from happening as well as to keep the parts lubricated. Regular monitoring of the gas situation is being done by the vehicle's computer. A message will be given to the driver of the need to let the generator go and thus the need to go beyond the EV range. When the warning is ignored after two times, the Volt will start its generator to burn some fuel on its own which will stop upon completion of the engine and fuel maintenance mode. The car goes back to pure EV operation after.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TUN9AUA3KaI/AAAAAAAD66c/mxG9W933CXc/s1600/VoltUnpluggedNY01.JPG
What is so special about the Volt? Many things including that it will allow GM to finally say that it has built and sold an electric car. GM did build a modern electric car dubbed the EV1 beginning in the 1990s, but that program was canceled. GM never got beyond the test phase for those vehicles and received criticism for "killing the electric car" with some people suggesting a widespread conspiracy with the oil companies.

The BMW X5 price is between £ 43,980-£ 54,200

For X5 owners who want a little bit more kick, look no further than the 3.0 liter turbo diesel, also an inline-6 cylinder engine. This is a variant of the engine found in the BMW 335d, with one major exception: This engine features 425 foot-pounds of torque, giving it an exceptional ability to tow large items such as boats and trailers with ease. While fuel economy under tow certainly suffers, at lighter vehicle weights you can expect an astounding 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway.

For those who want a little bit more from their SUV, the X5 is available with a 4.8 liter V8. This magnificent normally-aspirated V8 pushes out 350 horsepower with 350 foot-pounds of torque. While this will give the driver excellent passing and towing ability, look for fuel economy to suffer: Expect 14 city, 19 highway.

This vehicle is available in two petrol and two diesel versions. The previous 3.0 liter engine is replaced with 3.0 liter turbocharged inline six which is good for producing 302 horsepower and allows the vehicle to go from 0-100 KMPH in 6.8 seconds and it won't stop until it has reached the top speed of 235 KMPH. The consumption figures promise 100 kilometres for 10.1 litres.

On the other hand the X5 xDrive50i offers a 4.4 liter twin turbo v8 which replaced the previous naturally aspirated 4.8 liter v8.This engine is angry enough to produce 402 horsepower and thanks to this engine it takes this model only 5.5 seconds to reach 100 kilometres per hour before reaching a top speed of 250 KMPH. The fuel usage for this one is 100 kilometres for 12.5 litres.

2012The New BMW X5

Loosely based on the extraordinarily popular 5 series BMW sedan line, the X5 has become one of the premier sports utility vehicles on the road today. The BMW X5 has become one of the highest selling SUV models in the world, challenging such manufacturing giants as Ford and GM in an industry segment that has previously been dominated by American-made vehicles. The 2010 BMW X5 has something to offer that the American companies can't: Fuel economy.
Powered by the award-winning 3.0 liter inline-6 cylinder engine found in the BMW 3 series cars, the X5 has the ability to carry a considerable load of people and cargo. With 260 horsepower, this naturally-aspirated 3.0 liter features a strong power band and flat torque curve to help passing ability. While the X5 in base trim isn't a speed demon, most owners can't complain about fuel economy that's very rarely seen in the SUV segment: A very respectable 15 mpg city, 21 mpg highway.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic4PHI4PkDMO9V1RsauLT6VDcCBaPagFvsbxIMAV0l-dAlCVHmFQHJlUt97VmHQAggLj_x3eUuDW0TePO52bdw4OGmZCAyWwWDZOkUcNBIIY_BYVAxieNetd7h687GVQSU5iPB9_aOaJDy/s1600/BMW-X5_M_2010_03.jpg

Talking about the diesel side, BMW offers two turbocharged 3.0 liter inline six engines. X5 XDrive 40d is capable of producing 3.2 horsepower and reaches 100 KMPH in 6.6 seconds with a top speed of 236 KMPH. Average fuel consumption here is 7.5 litres for 100 kilometres. On the other hand X5 xDrive30d is able to produce 241 horsepower and allows 0-100 in 7.4 seconds.

Now all of these engines are mated with a sight speed automatic transmission which brings outstanding shifting dynamics, optimized effectiveness and highest degree of comfort. As reported by the company.

Further features include a servotronic steering system which is speed dependent. This car is will go on sale in the united states in April and the sales in UK and Germany are scheduled for June. The price is between £ 43,980-£ 54,200.
