Toyota develops sverhdeshevy car

"The cheapest car in the world" Tata Nano has not yet reached the market, but also opened a specific segment of excess models for emerging markets like India, Brazil and Africa. The company Toyota also agreed to develop a similar vehicle, although its starting price in excess of twice the value of Indian minikara. It says Automotive News Europe, referring to the Japanese edition of Asahi.

This product is currently the company will, together with its subsidiaries Daihatsu to one of its plants in India. To confirm its seriousness, the company said that after two years will build another production center in Bangalore. Nevertheless, the novelty will sold no earlier than 2015.

Target price could be a reason that Toyota will create a fourth brand - the model is too cheap compared to fellow Toyota, Scion and even more so Lexus. New hetchbek Toyota iQ is designed for higher segments, and for Europe in particular - in the UK version of the basic price is equal to 16140 dollars.

Meanwhile, Tata find all sorts of compromises in order to preserve the value of its models on the alleged mark - 2500 dollars that is virtually impossible against a backdrop of rapidly increasing production costs. In addition, automakers solve problems with the transfer of production to a new location because of trouble with the local population. Japanese companies such obstacles are not threatening, but severe fluctuations in the prices of goods such as steel and plastic, could easily offset the price boundaries that separate budget cars.

Renault-Nissan is also working on a car worth about 3500 dollars, and are not alone, but together with another Indian company - Bajaj Auto. This car is aimed directly at the Tata Nano. Both models should provide up to 2011.

Volvo XC60: reinsurer

Swedish Volvo has come to a class of compact SUV one of the most recent, but its trump card - security. In doing so he was ready to argue with competitors from the premium segment «their field» - design, cabin comfort and practicality.

For Swedish automakers model XC60 - not the first experience of creating premium Crossover. In the higher segment has long been battling XC90, and XC70 - in small class-wheel universal.

One can see from afar

In appearance Volvo XC60 is one striking difference - both from their «brothers», and from neighbors on traffic flows. In the radiator grille and headlamps lead the world are two vertical strips of LEDs - lamps daylight (always included in the motion). This nuanced machine readily visible in the stream and afternoon and dusk. But at the rear to distinguish it from «older brother» HS90 is a close - shape of the body and lamps both cars are very similar. Overall, the silhouette XC60 quite dynamic, although created under the concept of «Scandinavian Design» - simple forms, subject to functionality.

Clearance HS60 - much as 23 cm! This is said to the representatives of Volvo, - the largest in the classroom.

Salon made in the best tradition of Volvo - friendly governments, «soaring» torpedoes. The Scandinavian School of ergonomics and here at altitude. The style of premium-grade visible even in detail: the metal frame of Torpedo echoes similar inserts in the door.

Up above ground

Before the trip, I immediately drew the attention of the wheels Volvo XC60. On the test cars were fitted 18-inch discs with a full vysokoprofilnoy rubber 235/65 (although in Europe love huge disks of low-profile tires). Pleased and clearance HS60 - much as 23 cm! This is said to the representatives of Volvo, - the largest in the classroom. The system full of drive - with electronically controlled multi-clutch Haldex fourth generation. However, off-road ability of the model here in southern Spain, the test has not been possible. The only experience - the Congress with a fairly atypical for Western Europe high Brovki through a large ground clearance occurred without consequences. But not only clearance vehicle allowed me to feel very unfamiliar city. HS60 by 20 centimeters shorter than his «fellow» HS70, and it is much easier maneuvering on the streets of European cities. The presence of the camera back form with markings trajectory, the high landing and good visibility of rear view mirrors make the car very comfortable in urban tolchee.

Most security systems, including tracking of markings (1) and BLIS (2), you can disable.
Two passengers in the back row can hear through headphones radio at your choice.	Luc in the roof of a half. From wind protects special window shade.

Gasoline forever

At test Volvo XC60 proposed petrol turbirovannym 3.0-liter Straight six cylinder engine T6 (285 liters. Pp.) And cost-Five turbodizelem 2.4 liters (185 liters. Pp.) With the same torque - 400 Nm (both - with 6-speed AKP). The difference of 100 «horses» evident not only in the dynamics of (diesel «machine» yields 2,5 c), but also in fuel consumption: if the gasoline engines are a mixed route through the city, Autobahn and mountain roads «took» 16,5 l / 100 km, the diesel - 11 liters. The following year, the market appears peredneprivodnaya version with economical 2.4-liter (163 liters. Pp.) Diesel engine (Euro 5, the release of CO2 - less than 170 g / km). But gasoline T6, inherited from «older brother» HS90, just to be popular in our country. Along with 6-speed AKP, which is the transfer imperceptibly changing, power unit allows you to confidently overtake reaching 130 km / h colleagues on the Autobahn and, if necessary, to increase the speed with the rise of any mountain. However, the conquest of the mountainous zmeek - no element of the crossover. With enough inertial steering, the car is in turn with a slight delay, but without tangible Roll protection. For too tilt sensors monitored to prevent capsizing and the correctness of the entrance to the turn - the system DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control), which maintains a stable of car and reduces the risk of skidding, reducing engine speed and pritormazhivaya right wheel.

Despite the fact that the scope of habitat crossover - city and suburb, HS60 very well behaved on the route. Only here can be fully tested several security systems, set forth in this Volvo. Catching onward machine, and under the windscreen starts blinking red light. This system Distance Alert, reducing the distance signals. Frankly, the day it is not very noticeable, besides the frequent response of the travel time dulls the mind. Another case - BLIS, informed about the availability of a car in the «dead». He drew attention at a time when there is a need - when viewed in the side rear-view mirror.

As soon as the car crosses the line markings, distributed melodic zvonochek: zaehali you!

Turn adaptive cruise control and «sticks» to our colleagues in the same HS60. From what he and the journalist in front did the same, can be seen from an interesting picture: three Volvo HS60 followed at the same distance from each other after the «older brother» HS90. But do not relax - at least not to release the wheel. As soon as the car crosses the continuous or broken line markings, distributed melodic zvonochek: zaehali you! Such signals saves or rebuilt in a row, a mute button on the Torpedo (almost all the passive safety system can be switched off) or time included in the perestroeniya povorotnik. A person who is several hundred kilometers during the day, such precautions are helping less focus on the tracking of markings, especially the evening or at night. In addition, your second half will be much safer for children if the car provides such electronic «prompter». Not for nothing is marketing to potential buyers of Volvo HS60 see a lot of women.

Petrol T6 provides better dynamics than diesel (for photos) - at 2.3 s, but the last of nearly a third of cost - 11.9 l/100 km from 8.3 liters of petrol to a diesel engine.	Luggage roomy - about 500 liters in marching order, and the back rest discard into 3 parts. Погрузочная высота из-за высокой посадки довольно большая – 80 см. Loading height of the high landing rather large - 80 cm

Of course, who

HS60 will be issued in the Belgian city of Ghent annual circulation of 50 thousand units. 20 thousand of them will go abroad, much will remain in Europe. The company believes that one of the main markets for the model will Russia and China. In my opinion, the new Volvo XC60, despite fierce competition in the class will be relatively easy to seek the owner - because he immediately announced its distinctive features. The car comes to people accustomed to live in a world of advanced technologies and use them in their lives. In doing so, above all, they valued security - personal and their loved ones. The machine is suitable for maneuvering, stylish and modern looks, but with petrol engine of evolution is not inferior not only to its competitors, but also larger premium off-roadsters.

Slows himself

Radar adaptive cruise control closed plug on a radiator.

Developers Volvo XC60 say that created the safest Volvo, and possibly the safest car in the world. New napichkana all available for modern cars means of passive and active safety, the transfer which took half a page of text. Even in standard HS60 is equipped with a system of active prevention of collisions. It we were at the firing range. The system, called City Safety, operates in two modes. At a speed (up to 15 km / h) when the approaching danger, she alone stopped the car and at a speed of 30 km / h - only pritormazhivaet it. «About 70% of collisions occur at low speeds - explain to me Lennart Oder, the project manager HS60. - No, we have enabled the driver to maximize control over the situation. If even a little press brake pedal or the steering wheel is turned while the risk of collision, City Safety does not work. After all, people better able to anticipate the consequences of accidents and decide to stay or is it obehat obstacle ».

If the distance to the nearest car rapidly declining, the windscreen Volvo XC60 red indicator lights (1). The system City Safety (2) receives information from the laser and the reader, located under the windscreen (3).
