ford ranger 2012 review

Ford Ranger
new Ford Ranger - the latest in a spate of vehicles worldwide - has made its world debut at the 2010 International Motor Show in Australia. The new Ranger has a strong presence and promises to give truck owners more power, capacity and ownership experience transformed trucks.
From the impressive gains in power and safety to exceptional towing capacity, the new generation Ford Ranger emerges as the clear market leader. Not only is based on the assets of tremendous ability to pick-up Ranger, but also offers owners of truck driving experience spacious, comfortable, DVD and Blu-interior and a sophisticated one would expect only a machine.
Among the latest technology in its segment, Ford Ranger is the result of an impressive all-new global platform from Ford compact truck - the last to emerge as part of a company's Ford - and Mazda. Replaces two previous-generation compact truck platforms currently in production to present a new face of Built Ford Tough to customers around the world.
Based on innovation, has a list of technologies and features to lead the industry - which includes a new rearview camera system, rear parking assist, influence and control trailer load control with adaptation. Ford plans to introduce the new Ranger technologies in the coming months.
Intended to be marketed in the five continents and sells more than 180, the Ford Ranger is offered as a complete family of compact trucks - with three different cab body styles, 4x2 and 4x4 drive, two ride heights and set up five options, according to the market.
"We know that the trucks, so we took the best of our knowledge all over the world to create the new Ford Ranger," said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development.
"Focusing our global resources in a single new compact pickup platform allowed us to make significant improvements, technologies and features that owners of value, together with fuel economy is only one reason to buy."
The new Ford Ranger vision reflected in the compact pickup buyers around the world and its evolving needs.
"Compact trucks are very important to customers in many regions of the world," said Jim Farley, group vice president, Marketing, Sales and Service. "For many, it is the only vehicle in a family headed by a person other than the hard work rely These people need a truck that can do the job -. It will be amazed at how smart Ford Ranger new technologies make the job more easy. And increasingly, they are also looking for the types of features, technologies, the breadth and sophistication you would expect in a car, and Ranger is so innovative here. "
ford ranger A new model is based on a strong heritage
For nearly 20 years, the Ford Ranger was one of the most popular vans in the world Ford. It has provided millions of buyers with capacity hard Ford Trucks - transporting heavy loads, trailers, and absorb the punishment of the toughest roads. The new Ford Ranger now has even more capacity, but has become a tense, muscle tone and strength that exudes contemporary shape and hardness.
With a new chassis suspension, front and rear steering system, Ranger offers increased towing capacity and payload and exceptional. It 's powered by a choice of three new low-consumption engines, two of which was the common-rail Duratorq TDCi diesel Ford art and new low-power transmissions with six speeds.Add more chassis and safety technologies, and the history of Ford Ranger pickup truck leadership is as vivid as his strong position, with a purpose.
Ranger has the flexibility to handle all the tasks at home or at work.
Its transformation is perhaps most vivid in the brand new interior, which offers new levels of space experience compact properties. The new Ford Ranger offers a comfortable ride and quiet, with a level of features and technologies that are second to none.
The flagship of the new range is the Ford Ranger XLT Double Cab model presented in Sydney in Aurora brilliant blue, showing a fuel brave new 2.2-liter Ford Duratorq TDCi 110 kW (150 hp) diesel engine with an impressive 375 Nm torque space Available.
"The new Ford Ranger is proving to the world today is proof that you can achieve by leveraging the power of One Ford," said Gary Boes, vehicle line director for Ford's new compact truck platform.
"The new Ranger responds to what truck owners around the world want a vehicle that was designed and developed by a dedicated truck like no other. E 'being tested in more demanding of the toughest environments on five continentsdemonstrate world-class credentials. Ford Ranger truck owners respect and earn their respect every day, "said Boes.
21st Century "hard style inside and out
The new Ford Ranger creates a bold and decisive presence, with a fresh, contemporary exterior personality from the famous Stone Ford. Designers call the 21 st century look tough. "
The tense muscles, toned and a brave, confident strength of the signal immediately, and the ability of an ultra-modern trucks. However, it also communicates a transformed, more sophisticated and refined style that appeals to a new generation of truck owners.
"In many parts of the world, the role of the Ford Ranger has changed," said Craig metropolitan, chief designer. "We still need to be a work vehicle with durable interior and the ability to carry a heavy load, but also plays a dual role with refinement, comfort and more consumer-friendly tops the list for many buyers."
Meters, said extensive research among truck customers around the world reveals striking similarities in taste and design expectations.
While the needs and expectations may differ in the 180 markets that are sold, the new Ranger Truck tough design resonates around the world.
"Good design is long lasting and transcends all markets," said Mets. "Lindos tricks do not work with this group. It is a rugged truck that does the job in the first place."
According to Metro, Ford Ranger is very difficult, but not carved in the style of the largest North American Ford F-Series trucks. The contemporary design will be the same at home on the streets outside trendy restaurants in Cologne or Melbourne, as in the outback or a luxury property development.
Reflecting the different uses of compact pickups around the world, the new Ford Ranger product range offers everything from basic work trucks with the exhaust pipe in a higher series models, such as the Ford Ranger Limited and Ranger Wildtrak , is yet to be revealed.
The best of Ford design language have also been applied to the interior. Signs of borrowing power tools of ergonomic design, like DEWALT ® 1, and means enclosed in a protective shell like a G-Shock ® 2 watch, designers were inspired to combine form and function, while ensuring the instruments are clearly visible to the driver.
Inside, the cladding panels are designed to be easily replaced. A single base panel is mounted off-line and simply installed in the vehicle. While finishing styles vary, all parts are designed to be interchangeable.
"Look closely and you will see that, whatever the model does not deviate from the basic structure and design," said Metro. "All external and internal forms and panels are identical."
The little details very carefully to ensure the quality and craftsmanship in all models. From graining on interior panels to tonal color choices, the execution exudes a feeling of luxury throughout the interior.
Projects in the instrument panel have been used easily accept modular parts, such as radios, and heating and ventilation controls - to ensure the construction quality was maintained to eliminate unsightly gaps.
According to Debbie Pascoe, color and design director Ford finished, the materials used throughout the cabin must be particularly robust. The seats must be comfortable, but also able to support the use of the business customer.
"The typical pickup driver needs space and have designed an interior that is comfortable, easy to put on and off, with controls that are larger to accommodate work gloves, for example. When you design a truck interior, special considerations have been taken to ensure the car will be as strong as the rest of the vehicle. But difficult is not necessarily difficult, "he said.
The interior materials are subjected to constant abuse and have to endure the punishment of rigor that is not seen in a car. Materials of the seat must be able to take a beating of the tools that are released into the cabin or forgotten in a back pocket. Door panels can not be easily torn or scratched by dirty boots. And customers increasingly want a truck that is elegant and comfortable interior for your personal use.
"We have not forgotten that many of these vehicles are used only for work but are also the primary transport in many parts of the world as the vehicle of the family," said Pascoe.
Three passengers can easily fit into the second row of the new Ford Ranger double cab. It offers a wide safety margin at the knee and foot clearance between the best B-pillar and the seat. This means getting in and out of the new Ranger has never been easier for rear seat passengers.
Large storage capacity is available throughout the interior of the cabin with a maximum of 20 memory locations. Pockets in all four cabin doors can easily fit water bottles and, in some models, a deep center console keeps drinks well. The glove box is large enough to accommodate a laptop. Storage for mobile phones and other small items can be found on the console.
Under the rear seats, a convenient hidden storage area for electronics and small packages is provided, while the selected Ford Ranger Double Cab models, armrests in the middle of a back seat includes two dual cupholders.
To reduce costs Ranger properties, especially in the fuel pump, a wide range of design features have been optimized to improve the efficiency of the fuel. Using the same advanced simulation technology as Formula One team, aerodynamics has conducted more than 1000 complete vehicle aerodynamic simulations to perfect the shape of the vehicle.
With this technology, engineers have demonstrated that with a hard line in the upper fender, the wind flow is divided and reduced resistance. The backlight was placed more correct, pillars optimize and a small spoiler was added to the upper part of the tailgate. A bumper plays an important role in the control of the air flow under the vehicle, with a consequent significant reduction of the coefficient of resistance.
"Reduce the wind resistance was a start. Small incremental gains in fuel efficiency and contribute to the rapid achievement of fuel economy," said Mets.
ford ranger More muscle under the hood - three new engines
With a body that is thin and tense, the muscle under the hood. The propulsion systems totally new Ranger is designed to offer customers a unique combination of power and torque.
Ford Ranger has three new engines to compact range of Ford pick-up in the world:
A new 2.2-liter Ford Duratorq TDCi I4 diesel engine output torque of 375 Nm and 110 kW (150 hp).
A highly responsive and efficient new 3.2-liter Duratorq TDCi diesel i5 with an output of 470 Nm of torque and rated power of 147 kW (200 hp) Ford.
A 2.5-liter Ford Duratec I4 petrol engine with a power greater than 122 kW (166 PS). It can be configured for E100 flex-fuel capability or aftermarket upfitted to run on natural gas or LPG.
"This new engine family, the film demonstrates our commitment to make Ford Ranger is the best choice for truck customers today," said John Tatge, chief program engineer Ranger. "We are bringing the best technology of the engine range of engines for Ford Ranger to make the perfect choice for functionality and fuel economy, especially with the world-class diesel Duratorq. The couple makes the Ford Ranger ownership".
Developed in Australia and tested and validated around the world, power rangers are designed to work in a variety of fuels locally and link the octane number.
Selected Ford Ranger engines benefit from the advantages of low engine speeds and reduces wear, with six-speed automatic transmissions and manual available on selected models. The increase in fuel economy, along with other advances to facilitate maintenance and service, will help reduce the cost of goods annually.
"The new Ford Ranger is driving a truck," said Rob Sharples, team leader of the propulsion system program. "It 's interesting to drive, and all the inputs of the driver and vehicle controls work together in harmony."
The final drive gear ratios and have been carefully selected to offer outstanding acceleration, excellent fuel efficiency and a smooth ride.
The new Ford 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission has been tuned to deliver quick changes harmonious almost imperceptible to the driver, enhancing the car-like refinement of the new Ranger. In Normal mode, the calibration focuses on comfort and fuel economy. For sportier driving, a movement of the exchange rate shifts the transmission into Sport mode. This provides more points of change and the driver can select gears manually via a forward motion (climb) or backward (shift).
Ford also has other smart technology - The logic of quality control. Automatically changes when the brake pressure is detected down enough, adding the new Ford Ranger towing and transport capacity.
6R80 automatic transmission is designed for both 4x2 and 4x4 versions. It is lightweight and includes internal strengthening that have been designed and tested to Ford's global standards of commercial vehicles.
Ranger can also be equipped with manual transmission Ford MT82 six-speed gearbox, with his short, car-like gear lever - a good ergonomic position for the driver - which provides clear and precise change corresponds perfectly to the generous torque output of the new diesel. A gear shift indicator in the instrument panel helps coach drivers on the best equipment for fuel economy.
The 2.5-liter petrol engine is standard with the proven Ford MT75 five-speed manual.
The new Ford Ranger four-wheel drive models are equipped with a transfer case with proven electronic control that allows drivers to switch from 4x2 to 4x4 anytime via an electronic switch located on the console. If a couple extra or additional downhill braking is required, with low range can also be activated.
Rangers selection with four wheels can also be equipped with a differential of electric block or of a differential in a wide range of transmission ratios final.
Although the fuel economy certification will take place closer to the start of production, Ford is predicting that the new Ford Ranger powertrain range will contribute to significant savings at the pump.
The new levels of quality of driving and control of the frame
The same level of detail that makes the Rangers stand out in a crowd that set it apart from the competition, with a new chassis that provides even greater capacity, together with car-like comfort, reduced steering effort, more precise handling and a better road holding.
Off-road has been improved with a rigid frame height, up to 232 mm, and pipeline components that have been strategically mounted above the frame rail and danger.
Despite an increased pace of 3,220 mm - and wider track for the 4x4 model of 1,560 mm and the 4x2 model of 1590 mm front and back - turning radius of the all-new Ranger makes easy to handle in parking lots and narrow streets of the city. Its steering system rack and pinion has been carefully designed to deliver solid performance while delivering more precise steering.
In front, the suspension is entirely new brand. On a spring new shock absorber allows a better adaptation of the design of the upper and lower yoke. The configuration of the suspension, though similar for the two models and four-wheel drive is unique and has been adapted with specific rates of valve spring shock absorbers on all models to compensate for the weight, center of gravity and the torque distribution group .
In the rear part, a completely new suspension system provides a smooth and comfortable with a design of the rear suspension of the blade has been carefully adjusted for a variety of road conditions while still providing outstanding load capacity.
The rear suspension also offers Ford Ranger with a well-planted ride for high speed driving on dirt roads, common in South America, with a small influence and 'race' less corrugated or rough surfaces of the vehicle.
Taking into account the clients in the areas of the world where monsoons cause frequent flooding, Ranger's main electrical components and air vents are strategically placed high in the engine compartment. This contributes to the impressive wading depth of water.
Offering the biggest brakes in the class, stopping power for Ranger is excellent.
All Ford Ranger models are equipped with larger front rotors measuring 302-mm-32 and dual-piston calipers. The brake caliper has a pair of pistons phenolic reduce weight and improve the thermal performance.
Two traction means use a rear drum from 270-55-mm, while the vehicles Rider high and 4x4 uses a rear drum from 295-55-millimeters.
The braking system has been subjected to extreme environmental conditions and customer needs to drive at least 30 degrees Celsius in Sweden, in the intense heat of Death Valley in California, the congestion of city traffic, highway roads in the interior of Germany and ruthless' Australia.
The largest segment braking system provides excellent resistance to fading, in particular, with a maximum capacity. While competitive systems begin to fade and increased stopping distance, the Ranger is designed to maintain performance.
For superior braking performance, the Ranger is available with the electronic stability program, Ford's (ESP) system, which includes four-wheel traction control, yaw control and roll mitigation.
Invisible to the driver, the ESP system includes sensors located at the four wheels independently for controlling the speed of the wheel and detect wheel slippage during acceleration or braking. If slippage is detected or the vehicle is in motion (yaw), the brakes are applied individually to ensure the vehicle remains in its path.
In extreme conditions, the traction control system reduces the torque of the engine through the management of the spark and fuel delivery.
The braking system includes high-level system, Emergency Brake Assist to provide maximum impetus for the anti-lock brakes (ABS) and is activated automatically in panic-stop situations. Electronic Brake Distribution precisely hold the brake pressure in rear brake lines to help provide shorter braking distances.Flashing emergency lights automatically alert following vehicles when an ABS stop is triggered.
Among the segment leader with exceptional towing capacity, sure-footed traction and stability is guaranteed with mitigation and trailer available domain adaptive control of the load.
If the trailer starts to oscillate, the brakes are selectively applied to reduce the combination of rig. To make Ford Ranger maintains a stable ride when carrying full loads of goods, the adaptive control of the load determines the charge and apply the necessary measures to maintain a run straight and level.
Like all current Ford products, the new Ranger is designed to provide comprehensive protection of safety, a highly protective body structure with high strength steel throughout to protect occupants in a collision.
Engineers have used sophisticated computer models to improve the impact resistance of all new Ranger. This includes over 9000 full vehicle crash simulations before the vehicle first prototype was subjected to a physical crash test.
The new Ford Ranger offers new passive safety technologies, such as the availability of side curtain airbags on all cab styles for the first time.
Another new Ford Ranger technologies - including the new rear parking sensors and rear camera - not only help drivers collect daily use, but also help to avoid potential contact with pedestrians.
Scope
Bring a team of five? Under the direction of the work with large appliances, building materials, sand or gravel? Loaded with products for sale at local farmers' market? Whatever the load, all are easily stored in the cargo box of the new Ford Ranger double cab - even with a full load of passengers.
Measuring 1549 mm in length, 511 mm in height, with a maximum load box width of 1,560 mm, the box load crew cabin is over 100 mm in width. The volume is 1.21 cubic meters well.
Width between wheel arches is 1139 mm in all models and special provisions are provided in the cargo box to place wooden poles into the pockets that are located above the wheel. This allows the rock or a piece of plywood to be stacked flat.Width of the hatch at the top of the box is 1330 mm.
New from top to bottom - more to come
It's not often that engineers and designers have the opportunity to build a new truck from scratch, and demonstration of new Ford Ranger has taken advantage of this opportunity.
Ford Ranger when production starts in 2011, set new benchmarks in many categories including a stand-out design, road manners that are smooth and refined, a chassis that is capable off-road systems, and propulsion that are consumption Fuel, clean and built the promise of global Ford.
The new Ranger will be built around the world in three sites targeted production volume for the regional level, particularly in growth regions.
A gradual acceleration of production is scheduled to begin next summer (Northern Hemisphere) in Rayong, Thailand for the Asia-Pacific. Ford is converting factories in Argentina and South Africa for additional capacity to serve over time as other key regions progresses the rate of release. The new production strategy for the global platform only compact pickup to reach new levels of common products for the Ford Ranger around the world.
Even if you do not plan to introduce in the United States or Canada, the new Ford Ranger will eventually be marketed in 180 countries, becoming one of the most far broader Ford. This reflects the importance of the pick-up compact for consumers in many parts of the world and the importance of the Ranger in Ford's global portfolio.
Ranger also symbolizes how Ford is leveraging its global product resources more efficiently. Its product development team based in Melbourne, Australia. Services full range of products in development based on the Ford Broadmeadows near Melbourne showing complex systems of land in Geelong and has become an ideal starting point for the global team of Ford Ranger.
"One Ford brought all our forces to create the new Ford Ranger," said Kuzak."When you look at how important compact trucks in the world, was the ideal candidate to be our next global product."

ford escape EcoBoost advanced

For the first time, the flight new Ford will be characterized by two different EcoBoost ®. This award-winning Ford Motor, which produces a driving performance and fuel economy is expected better than any other competitor, there is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, the first time in the U.S., a 1.6-liter four-cylinder.

Each new engine technology EcoBoost uses direct injection and turbo basics and adds two camshafts independent variable (Ti-VCT). With these technologies, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost is designed to produce more torque than the Toyota RAV4 V6 in liters larger, and 1.6, is designed to produce fuel economy segment leader among compact SUVs, and up to 5 mpg better exhaust.

EcoBoost is a popular choice among customers, such as EcoBoost V6 was introduced in 2009 Ford Taurus SHO and Lincoln MKS.

EcoBoost is key to Ford's strategy to offer advanced propulsion systems, high performance, low fuel consumption to offset that offer exceptional performance without compromise for millions of motorists around the world. In 2013, over 90 percent of Ford North America will be available with EcoBoost technology. Ford has more than 125 patents on its EcoBoost engine technology.

"Providing customers with two options EcoBoost perfectly complements the range of intelligent technologies, available in high-new Ford Escape," 

 "said Roger Maynard, Powertrain supervisor. "Both EcoBoost 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter offers a fuel economy increase performance and maximize the spirit."

The 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine is designed to offer £ 250 Nm of torque and 237 horsepower. The EcoBoost 1.6-liter four-cylinder, is designed to provide 177 pounds-feet of torque and 173 horsepower.

Each new EcoBoost engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission specially calibrated SelectShift ™ is standard and allows the driver to manually control the gear selection of a switch on the left side of the drive.

The gearbox has a new torque converter for improved driving feel, silky smooth ride and low fuel consumption. Engineers also installed transmission ratios for driving magazines sense of balance in all situations. The new relations complement the torque converter changed.

"The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, and all EcoBoost engines, maximum torque delivered via broadband," says Maynard. "This means that motorists will receive a prompt reply when he left office -. Without sacrificing fuel economy"

1.6-liter EcoBoost in North America

Also available first in North America is 1.6 liters Ford EcoBoost. As your partner, 2.0-liter, 1.6-liter EcoBoost is designed to provide better torque than the current competitors Honda and Toyota and expects the best of both fuel economy.

"The 1.6-liter EcoBoost will be the leaders in fuel economy for new Ford Escape and provide excellent fuel economy with a high responsiveness of the engine," said Maynard.

Efforts to reduce unwanted noise, 2.0-liter EcoBoost will move to the EcoBoost 1.6-liter, which adds a bypass valve with electronic control.

This valve allows to reduce the tip end of the turbocharger and external noise, which produces a softer sound of the motor when the tips of the clients outside the accelerator. The valve softens the sound, the balance of the intake air pressure.

Lighter, more efficient 2.5-liter

The base engine for the Ford Escape is a new updated version of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which shares many components with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine to save weight, improve quality and increase fuel economy.

Highlighting the improvements is the new world of low-voltage front-end accessory belt. With the tape at a lower voltage, the friction in the entire system is reduced.Less friction reducing fuel consumption.

This improvement, combined with changes in motor control and the progress of others, contributes to an improvement of 2 mpg in fuel economy and better torque at low speeds to feel better the performance.

Fuel economy is also improving the shutter Grille active system, which helps to reduce air resistance and all models with the EcoBoost 1.6-liter and 2.5-liter four-cylinder.

The system activates the grille shutter is open grid of slats additional air of the engine cooling is necessary, such as low-speed driving stop-and-go. When traveling on the road at a constant speed, the blades are automatically closed grid to improve the aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.

Activities Grille and shutters are used in the Ford Focus, Ford Taurus and Ford Edge in North America and gradually add more vehicles.

Global Powertrain

In markets outside North America, where most new Ford Kuga SUV carrying a badge, an additional set of engines, including a new diesel engine will be offered.More details will be provided at the launch of the new Kuga to Geneva Motor Show in March 2012.

A wide range of materials compatible with the environment or recycled materials - including plastic bottles and cotton, to name a few within the Ford exhaust again.

"The new Ford Escape has a strong story to tell to environmental responsibility," said Sue Cischke, vice president, Environment, Sustainability and safety engineering. "With two new EcoBoost engines all over each lower CO2 emissions than similar conventional engines, and the extensive use of recycled or renewable materials, the new Ford escape is more environmentally friendly."

The Ford Escape has new material even more sustainable than its predecessor.The materials which are recycled effects, sources and reduce the environment include:

Rugs of any material post-consumer and post-industrial. An example of a plastic material is post-consumer, which is recycled, such as beverage bottles. The source of polyester is about one third of post-consumer and post-industrial two-thirds

Approximately 25 to 20 oz plastic bottles are a total carpet

The soy foam in seats and head restraints

Undershields Powertrain made from 100 percent recycled plastic

More than 10 pounds of scrap recycled cotton jeans, shirts, T-shirts and other items otherwise sent to a landfill is used for sound-absorbing materials

Climate control joints based on recycled tires

Using industry before Micro (MuCell) technology in the process of injection molding of the dashboard, reducing the weight of a pound and contribute to the saving of fuel. 

 This technology is injected microscopic cells to reduce weight without sacrificing the integrity dimensional

Adjustments are made tailpipe in polished stainless steel instead of more common and less environmentally friendly chrome finish

The extensive use of green materials, recycled and recyclable fuel economy integrates the expected best-in-class new Ford Escape, further strengthening the credentials of the car's environmental responsibilities. The new Ford Escape meets the goal of USCAR Vehicle Recycling Partnership that 85 percent of the vehicle is recyclable.

A soy-based foam added to the headrest

Expanding the use of soy-based foam in the exhaust gas remains completely new. Addition to the content of the bio-foam seat cushion and seat back, the rear part of the exhaust is still foam which is 5 percent soy.

The carpet material is made of any post-consumption (which was recycled plastic, for example beverage bottles) or post-industrial (waste companies that make clothing, for example) sources. In Ford Escape again, the source of the polyester is about one third of post consumer and two-thirds of post-industrial sector.

Ford engineers estimate that about 25 to 20 oz plastic bottles used in the production of carpets of every new location in North America. At current levels of sales, or more than 4 million plastic bottles recycled each year.

"We are confident that the new Ford escape providing excellent fuel economy and make intelligent use of materials that otherwise in a landfill," said Cischke. "Smart clients appreciate what we have done away with much greener and smarter."

Security

The new Ford Escape combines the security features and technologies customers really want, including a high-strength steel body and an even more intelligent than any new offerings from other manufacturers.

"Safety is of paramount importance to customers of small SUVs, and offers new Ford Escape," said Jason Sprawka, Escape marketing manager. "The new flight 5000 crashed in testing times and virtual reality to improve security."

The new Ford Escape adds about four times the high-strength steel and ultra high as a vehicle to start. Approximately one third of the steel in the exhaust-monocoque is made of new high-strength steel and high strength, protecting its occupants in the event of an accident.

The new flight also has the most ™ personal security with new security technologies and belts of seven airbags.

The personal security system is a network of components that work together to tailor airbag deployment in frontal collisions. The restraint control module (RCM) translates the information gathered from the crash sensors buckle front seat belts, front side and off, the driver's seat position and passenger weight sensor track and the speed with which the Judges vehicle is slowing down, and if the driver and / or passengers buckle up.

With this information, the CRM is activated the seat belt pre-tensioners and determines how dual-stage airbags front screens.

New Ford Escape for the next anchor points are pre-tensioners front and side crash incidents languages. These technologies help to pull the belt tight to the hips in a fraction of a second most serious accidents.

The new side airbags deploy in the lower pelvic region, and chest and incorporate new ventilation technology that brings out only the small SUV segment.

The side vent airbag technology takes into account the size of the occupant, varying the pressure as small occupants withstand a lower pressure.

"In a side impact, which is preferred is a pressure on the bag side air than for an older person and a lower pressure for a small person," said Sean Ryan, supervisor of the restrictions. "This was not possible with previous systems. In the flight new Ford, the adjustment of the flow allows us to optimize the pressure on the side airbags."

The mouth of the tunnel is aligned with the shoulder area of ​​the occupants. The largest of the passenger, the shoulder is coupled to the ventilation circuit and venting prevents through which the gas remains within the airbag. In small passenger, the effect is just the opposite: Since the shoulder of the passenger is below the orifice, the exit gas from the airbag.

Airbag driver uses a system of attachment shaped curve reconfigured that pulls down to create a pocket to help lessen the impact of the airbag on the chest of the driver and the ribs in frontal collisions. Implement, at the same time is a driver knee airbag - offered in the Ford Escape, the first time.

The new Ford Escape also includes the famous Safety Canopy ® System, which combines side curtain airbags and a rollover sensor to help protect outboard passengers in side impacts.

Inflators for airbags is close to the carrier between the lateral uprights, while the side impact sensors are positioned on each side of the vehicle. The rollover sensor detects a potential overlap of the Canopy and active safety. Air bags inflated to a maximum of six seconds to reduce accidents caused by multiple impacts or rollovers.

Technology

The new Ford Escape may be the most useful vehicle ever produced by Ford.Using hands-free technology ever offered in a Ford, the flight back helps customers load and unload equipment from the back door, without having to find a key, keep in touch, parallel parking, and avoid an accident in a parking lot .

Furthermore, on the road, the new Intelligent 4WD Ford engineering helps provide exceptional quality and excellent off-road traction, when the driver wants to leave the sidewalk.

Moreover, the proprietary technology that no competitor can match automatically reduces the speed of the vehicle in a curve too fast (Curve Control) or help out at one time (torque vector control) bind for the first time in a van in the Ford Escapeagain.

"Customers want technology that makes life easier," said Jason Sprawka, Escape marketing manager. "The new Escape has a lot of intuitive technology available, and helps that are completely without problems."

Get a kick out of the new intelligence

Leader of the segment, the first smart client focused on the characteristics of the new Ford Escape is the provision of hands-free power tailgate. A slight calcium at the center of the rear bumper system is activated, then the opening and closing of the rear door.

This allows a surface load fast, easy and convenient to keep the packages or the excavation of the keys to open the tailgate. The same process also closes the door.

The back door speakerphone is built by Ford's Intelligent Access with push button start that allows customers to unlock and start their cars without having to remove the key. When the blacksmith in his power - in their pockets, jacket, purse or briefcase - a simple pull on the door handle unlocks the vehicle. Once inside, the driver has only the brake pedal and press the power button to start the vehicle.
For hands-free power tailgate, two sensors in smart access system are on the rear bumper. Detects the stem of the driver, and the other detects the movement of the tailgate can kick your hands free.
The combination of the detection system keychain and cinnamon and leg movement is required to unlock and open the back door, the protection against accidental opening.
"The animals are running in the car, hitting bumps in the road or have a swirl of leaves under the vehicle on the road does not activate the back door," said Michael Becker, a systems engineer. "We designed the system so that the back door open when you want."
Moreover, the height of the rear door can be adjusted manually or programmed to meet specific customer needs. The rear door is open from 4 meters to 7 meters above the ground.
The new version of SYNC with MyFord touch
The latest version of SYNC ® with MyFord Touch ® connectivity driver technology to escape once again makes it easier to handle the tasks of information, control and adjust the settings.
"We listen to our customers and improve what they like MyFord touch," said Kenneth Williams, an engineer with systems integration. "In this update, the screens have a screen clean and bright. Words on the screens are larger and easier to read, the pressure areas on the screen look more like buttons, and made clearer roles for faster browsing .
"What separates MyFord Touch is that there are different ways that customers manage and control what they want via voice commands, menus are accessed through the steering wheel, touch screen, buttons, or buttons, whatever your choice."
Now, the corners of the main screens, telephone, navigation, entertainment and climate - that is labeled as such, and their color codes. The icons have a new look to better specify the features or functionality.
MyFord includes a standard 4-inch dashboard in all models of the Ford Escape.One 8-inch screen in the center console is standard on SEL and Titanium. All new location also offers the latest version of SYNC, which includes:
Voice-activated hands-free Bluetooth ® mobile connected call
Voice-activated hands-free control of a digital music player, connected via USB
911 Assist ™, the automated service calls are free for life emergency vehicle
Vehicle Health Report, the information service on-demand diagnostics and maintenance
Standard is a signature MyFord Sync Services, which extends the capabilities of voice control to include some cloud-based network services. These include turn-by-turn directions, traffic reports and find information for companies with a live operator intervention, if necessary.
MyFord Touch is available with navigation systems and Sony audio with 10 speakers and an electronic finish panel, designed by Sony.
New car technology package
First available for the Ford Escape is a pack of parking technology that can help take the anxiety of parallel parking and help prevent accidents. Included in the package are:
Active Park Assist
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS ®) with Cross Traffic Alert
Rain-sensing wipers
Park Assist Front
Rear parking sensors
Rear view camera
Ford Active Park Assist System helps you parallel park and without stress. With the touch of a button and enabled by EPAS (Electric Power Steering), the heritage of the park to help detect a parallel parking space with 10 sensors and automatically steer the vehicle in space without the driver having to touch the steering wheel. The driver controls the throttle gearbox, and brakes.
The technology of sensor-based activities in the Park Assist park classifications in the tightest, closest to the curb, and is faster and more accurate than its competitors based camera systems. The new Escape can parallel park in a space less than 18 meters in length - the length of the vehicle (less than 15 meters), more than 3 meters.
BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert helps the driver to change lanes or exit a parking lot with more confidence. BLIS alerts when it detects a vehicle in a blind spot and Cross Traffic Alert warns you of traffic incidents on the sides, like a copy of a parking space.
On the road driving experience significantly improved
Ford has developed an advanced intelligent system behind the new Ford Escape 4WD proactively to reconsider the conditions of about 20 times faster than it takes to open and close your eyes, adjust the distribution of power to the controller for precise handling and mixing traction at all times.
The use of advanced software and sensors, the system collects data from 25 external signals, such as wheel speed, the accelerator pedal position and the angle of the steering wheel to provide outstanding performance in the conduct of both humid conditions and dry, and excellent off-road traction.
Increased confidence when it enters and cornering is possible for the vector control and control technologies torque curve that are available together for the first time in a SUV in the release of the new Ford.
The system always divides proactively the torque produced by the kinematic chain between the front and rear. The division of the couple offers several advantages for the driver. First, the energy is transferred, which means that when a conductor sharp edges, the vehicle will be better follow the expected direction path. For example, if the vehicle is understeer - the tendency to go in the corners - the system automatically divides more torque to the rear wheels to help counter this effect and give a more neutral.
In the second place, and again in this new SUV are the feedback sensors, and software that calculates, on the basis of the steering angle of the driver, where the driver wants to go before the vehicle goes where, and make the corresponding division.
A kind of mini-computer uses all the contributions of a number of sensors and data, such as the lateral acceleration, the driver demand and the steering angle - information and processes for the vehicle to rotate in the direction of the driver wants to go . Ford's system is based on preventive actions and subtracts the amount of torque as needed through an electromagnetic clutch.
If, for example, the front of the vehicle is in ice and the back surface is in the system of all the drive wheels can send the entire kinematic pair can be produced on the back, put the power in which the driver needs.
All these adjustments, corrections and calculations are performed every 16 milliseconds, which is about 20 times faster than the blink of an eye.
Both the brain (control software) and muscles (again), developed in-house Ford.
Improved braking system, new technologies to add another level of confidence
Working in harmony with the new Intelligent 4WD Ford is an improved version of the torque vector control, first introduced with all-wheel drive vehicle.
Introduced in the new global Ford Focus, has been completely redesigned and recalibrated for the new location, the control torque vector adds an additional level of confidence for the driver. In a situation where it detects wheel slippage - the loss of adhesion of the inner wheel, for example - torque vectoring control transfers torque between the shaft to the outer wheel.
Torque vector control is activated when the driver is the accelerator, and uses sensors and software to calculate the yaw motion of the vehicle or its tendency to move left or right.
More often found on high performance cars, vector brake torque control of the vehicle used to simulate the effect of a differential, in equilibrium constant between the distribution of torque between the front wheels when cornering, with consequent adhesion and direction and the ability to reduce understeer.
The system works by using the control module of vehicle stability and to monitor the status of 100 times per second. Since the speed of vehicles through an angle, the system detects when the inside front wheel is starting to slip and applies a detectable amount of braking the wheel. This prevents the rotation of the wheel and is designed to transfer torque to the outer wheel, which has a better grip, keeping the traction control and management.
Unlike a system of traction control which reduces the engine power, the intervention of control is extremely thin pair of vectors, and may not even be perceived by the driver.
Other technologies useful additions to the new Ford escape include: Active Park Assist, Hill Start Assist and Brake Assist, as well as technology-based discharge known as Roll Stability Control ™ control and domain trailer.
The brakes offer better control when cornering
The new braking system helps the driver maintain control during cornering.Similar to the curve control function introduced in the new Explorer, the new braking system in the exhaust system can be automatically applied to all four wheels with brakes in order to assist the driver in curve too fast on a curve, and is always active.
The system will help in cutting speed, by reducing engine torque and braking on all four wheels, helping to avoid accidents. Freeway ramps and ramps in common situations where vehicles can go too fast for the curve. The system is completely automatic and can stop the vehicle faster than the most drivers can react - speed can be reduced by about 10 mph in about one second, allowing the vehicle to maintain its path.

Ford Fusion review
new Ford Fusion gives life to the next generation of Ford vehicles and is expressive of the first sedan to offer petrol, hybridand plug-in hybrid versions - each one should provide the fuel economy and driving experience more immersive.
With an elegant silhouette and new faces, new Fusion is the latest in a series of Ford vehicles - after 2011 and 2012 Fiestasubcompact small car bulbs - developed to meet customers wherever they want to take on fuel consumption, and useful technologies Games vary in appearance.
"Our vision for the merger was clear - to offer the best of what Ford stands for," said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president for global product development. "We took our teams around the world as a tabula rasa with the task of developing a medium sized car with an innovative design and incredible fuel economy - .. I had the technology to help our customers protect and better drivers This car is the result "
Ford Fusion revealed in North America, S and SE of the top of the line Titanium series and aims for the next Ford Mondeo for world markets.
Triple Crown fuel efficiency
The Fusion is expected to offer the best in class fuel economy through customer choice of gas, hybrid and plug-in hybrid sub, get on with Ford's commitment to be the leader in fuel efficiency - or one of the leaders - with every new model on the market.
Ford Fusion offers the broadest range of fuel efficient engines in midsize cars.Offers hybrid plug-in hybrid alternative, a pair of four-cylinder EcoBoost ™, a naturally aspirated four-cylinder, automatic shutdown of the original system to turn off the engine at idle fixed, front-wheel drive applications and transmission of a choice between automatic and modified six-speed manual.
The 1.6-liter EcoBoost should provide best-in-class four-cylinder non-hybrid fuel efficiency of 26 mpg city and 37 mpg on the highway. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost - combined with a paddle-shifted six-speed automatic transmission SelectShift ™, available 19-inch wheels and tires and all wheel drive with the ability to send a couple in the back - Fusion is the performance option.
The Fusion Hybrid - 2010 North American Car of the Year - continues to innovate and evolve with all the new lithium batteries that save weight and more power than previous nickel metal hydride batteries, while increasing the maximum power supply only of 47 mph to 62 mph.
Ford Fusion Hybrid also features a new 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder petrol, significantly reduced from the previous 2.5 liters, while maintaining standards of performance. This innovative propulsion system should provide better fuel efficiency class of 47 mpg city and 44 mpg on the highway.
Ford Fusion Hybrid fuel economy is higher than that of 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid of 4 and 5 of the city mpg mpg on the road and 2011 Hyundai Sonata hybrid mpg 12 mpg and 4, respectively.
In front of the scale of fuel consumption is the Energi plug-in hybrid fusion, with the objective of the machine to be more fuel consumption of medium size in the world.In autumn, the merger would deliver more than 100 MPGe Energi, one mile per gallon equivalent parameters for electric vehicles. This is 8 more than the Chevrolet Volt MPGe and over 13 MPGe expected efficiency of the Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid model.
The Fusion's next-generation 1.6-liter automatic transmission is the first Ford product is offered with an automatic stop of the original system. It turns off without any problem when the vehicle is stopped and restarted without incident as the driver releases the brake pedal, helping to reduce fuel consumption and emissions of fusion of about 3.5 percent.
Ford Fusion is for you
The merger offers an unrivaled portfolio of completely new driver assistance technologies and cost-based sensors, cameras and radar that allows the car to see and respond.
Ford Fusion can help the driver maintain the proper lane position, speed control of the vehicle to changing traffic conditions, identify areas of parking and service area, including helping drivers back out of parking where visibility is obstructed.Specific technologies include:
Railway system: This unique technology in its class is composed of three elements to help the driver maintain the proper lane position. With a little 'to the front of the camera behind the rearview mirror, the system "appears" on the road, track rail lines to determine that the car is running. The system warns drivers if a lane drowsiness or irregular sealing is detected. The second warns a driver with a vibration of the steering wheel if the merger is moving very close to the lane markings. Finally, the lane-keeping assistance actually going to put pressure on management to help bring the car in its correct position in lane
Adaptive Cruise Control: the future use of radar, the system "looks" on the road when activated, reduces the merger, when it detects a slower traffic ahead.Adaptive Cruise Control allows collision warning with brake support to slow the car if the potential for an accident is detected
Active Park Assist: The use of sensors, this technology can identify a suitable space for parallel parking, calculate the route and drive the car to place it in the correct position. All a pilot has to do is use the accelerator and brake
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS ®) with Cross Traffic Alert: the fusion of the sensor as the rear of the panels are able to detect traffic on the blind spot of the driver, providing audible and visual warnings if traffic - without being seen by the driver - is detected. BLIS technology allows cross traffic alert, warning the driver to deal with traffic on the back of a parking space with obstructed views, and between two large vans
ford fusion The power of voice
Fusion offers the latest version of the new exclusive award-winning Ford SYNC ® communications industry and entertainment system that allows voice-activated communication via phone and driver interaction with the car audio system.
Fusion also offers the latest version of MyFord Touch ®, which allows the driver to interact with the systems of the vehicle through voice control, a touch of a button, touch screen or conventional.
Both SYNC and MyFord Touch - powered by SYNC - helping to reduce potential driver distraction through the voice control feature, enabling drivers to keep both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
Different design, for
"The anterior fusion was an easy purchase for a customer to rationalize," said Chris Hamilton, head of exterior design of next-generation model. "Our design goal for the new car would give the sedan buyer who incorporates a superior visual experience of the box, adding a bit 'of emotional appeal and sensible choice."
These five elements provide a guide for the design team behind the all new Ford Fusion:
Silhouette Innovation: the profile is different from Elegant Fusion powertrain / cabin / trunk "three box" design stands for mid-size sedan
The perception of efficiency: the lines of typecasting sweeping rear roof pillars and bad suggest that the car is agile and light on its feet
Refined language area: Fusion comes with an elegant design, well executed does not require visual disorder or add-ons
Graphic technique: functional elements of the fusion of design, such as headlights, LED tail lights and exhaust polished improved the technological capacity to communicate
New face: Fusion signals the next evolution of the design language of Ford's global small and medium-sized cars
Inside, the new Fusion offers a sporty, driver-oriented environment, with the next generation of people that brings more features. The higher center console supports the issue of driver-focused and produces intelligent storage points for the drivers want to have on hand.
Additional passenger space has been designed in motion the dashboard in the windscreen, which contributes to the cabin airy, open environment. Thinner, lighter frames to support the next generation of comfortable fabric seats with sustainable recycled yarn.
Craft, is to feel more dynamic
Ford Fusion design meets the promise of high visual quality, with improved materials, high levels of skill and attention to detail.
The interior surfaces are softer to the touch inside and outside gaps are minimized, while more attention is paid to cover every paper or board and every surface of a customer can touch. When the tailgate is opened, for example, a latch spring-loaded cover automatically hides the hardware log.
"The overall objective of the process of our job is to see that the merger not only offers a superior visual experience, but also feels like quality to the customer," said Adrian Whittle, chief engineer of the merger.
Main contribution to the way in which the feelsare fusion of the components that maximize driving and driving dynamics of the vehicle.
"This is truly a car to drive," said John Jraiche, program director. "The merger is even more fun to drive with a specially tuned electric steering (EPAS), a MacPherson strut front suspension and multilink rear suspension new level of premium -. Configurations is comparable to that of Audi and BMW"
Careful tuning of the Ford vehicle handling and the team did a walk in the merger with a dynamic character, please, well-seasoned enthusiast while increasing the confidence of less experienced pilots.
Ford Fusion inner calm to a new level with the low noise screens and reduce the weight of the sound-absorption, is to minimize road and powertrain, increasing the aerodynamic efficiency to save fuel. The new model adds the content as a cap full perimeter seal to be among the leaders in the segment of mid-sized sedan, giving drivers a smooth ride.
Fusion Fusion Hybrid and Energi models are also equipped with active noise control. This function uses the audio system to reduce noise outside the street, improving the sound of the propulsion system.
Ford fusion The strength and safety
Fusion is designed with security in mind of the customer. The engineers have increased their strength by 10 percent, using high strength steels such as boron, and added two front and knee airbags row adaptive front airbags which vent and lock to fit a specific format of occupants, the location and use of safety belts.
The security team has led Fusion top-of-the-line ratings in each benchmark area of ​​public safety, including National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's classification, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Team assessments and major world markets in which the car is sold.
The most important example is the front-end architecture of the Ford Fusion, the same car is facing the same time - and seemingly contradictory - rules in all regions. Front of the car is able to meet with the head and moving barrier standards for North America, while complying with European standards for pedestrian protection - thanks to hours of computer modeling and validation 180 crash tests.
Ford Fusion is produced in Ford's Hermosillo, Mexico, manufacturing facility, then add the production plant in AutoAlliance International Flat Rock, Mich. The car will appear in Ford dealers in North America and South America later in 2012.Mondeo will be presented in 2013 in Asia and Europe.

2008 saturn vue

Saturn Vue
Saturn has introduced the new 2008 Saturn Vue, a compact five-door crossover with European design and sporty ride and handling. The vehicle was unveiled at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show International.
The new Vue is the latest Saturn model to show the character of the brand new design and greater focus on driving characteristics. If available in the second quarter of 2007, Saturn will be the fourth new model from the beginning of calendar 2006. The others all the new models are the Sky roadster, Aura sedan and Outlook crossover utility greater.
"The 2008 Saturn continues the product revitalization at Saturn," said Saturn General Manager Jill Lajdziak. "The new Vue is versatile, technologically advanced and loaded with safety equipment. Saturn customers will be so happy with the car, as they are with the treatment they have always received at your local Saturn."
Saturn also confirmed that it will continue to offer the version of the VUE Green Line Hybrid, the end of 2008 model year. When he debuted in the 2007 range, the Vue hybrid was the first vehicle to use the new propulsion system affordable GM Hybrid.
In addition to the hybrid, the Vue will be available in XE, XR and Red levels of cutting line. These models offer a wide range of powertrains, including a more powerful four-cylinder engine and two V-6 choices mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. Later in the year model, a five-speed manual is available. The all-wheel drive is available with two V-6 engines.
Ride and handling
At the base of the European driving character is a corpse VUE, steel body-frame integral structure. Ride and handling is augmented by model-specific rates of adjustment of the spring and wheel travel. Stabilizer bars front and rear suspension independent front suspension with MacPherson struts and independent rear multi-link, along with a motor mount for double insulation, add to the smooth ride. Hydraulic steering on V-6 models, standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes, traction control and standard GM StabiliTrak electronic stability control an outstanding vehicle control.
A towing package with hook and wiring is available on all Vues. A stabilization system trailer uses active braking to help control the vehicle in situations of towing. The Vue (except Red Line) can also be towed as a "boat car" RV with all four wheels on the ground.
Security
In addition to handling features that help drivers avoid accidents, all-new Vue helps protect occupants with a long list of standard safety features for crash protection. Dual-stage front airbags for front seats, seat thorax airbags and side curtain airbags front and rear cover files are standard on all models.
In addition to the airbag is a detection system that uses sensors GM tipping proactively predict vehicle tip-up on a flat road and the braking force applied to the front and rear wheels to reduce the lateral force to the vehicle. Also active rail air bags if sensors determine a rollover roof imminent. Other standard safety features included in the first row dual safety belt pretensioners, active head restraints and collapsible pedals disengagement.
Like all Saturn vehicles, the Vue comes standard with GM's OnStar system, safety and security system, including a one-year subscription to the Safe & Sound project. The OnStar service includes Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN), making crash data to emergency services to send the appropriate potentially life-saving personnel and equipment to crash scenes faster. If the vehicle is in a crash that activates an air bag, the system automatically notifies an OnStar advisor, who will contact the occupants and emergency call for help if necessary. OnStar also provides remote door unlocking service and can assist authorities in locating a vehicle if it is reported stolen.
Outside
The exterior of the new Saturn Vue shows new European design cues, with a look that is clean, sculpted and typically sporty. Tight wheel-to-hand, reports large jeweled headlamps and a more radical line profile contribute to the impressive design of VUE. The tapered roof line is one of the design cues taken from Prevue concept presented at the New York Motor Show 2006.
Another sign inspired by the concept of fender trim Prevue emphasis is on a vertical line down the front door. The feature is printed in black coal, and incorporates a repeater turn signal. Bright accents surrounding the side glass add the attractiveness of the profile of the vehicle. The grille proudly displays Saturn's recognizable chrome bar with a Saturn badge completely.
Sixteen-inch alloy wheels are standard on XE models, while larger 17-inch wheels are alloy with high-end Vue XR. XE and XR models are distinguished from each other with specific bands, rockers and wheel covers open. The Red Line model, which was released later, will sport its own performance-inspired design cues.
Internal
Inside, the Vue continues the luxury theme with refined materials and precise fit and finish. Designers used lighter colors to give a feeling of spaciousness to the cabin, and incorporated a wide range of useful storage solutions.
The interior offers a host of features for comfort and convenience, many of which are rare in the segment. These include seat optional eight-way power driver, the standard second-row folding armrest with storage, standard CD stereo with MP3 capability, standard information center for the driver in the instrument panel, available in the automatic climate control system with electronic controls, available navigation system, and an optional package that includes a comfortable an automatic rain sensing wiper, remote starter, washing system of universal home remote and heated windshield.
Other highlights of the cabin are:
Rich materials including chrome accents on the vents, controls, center console, instrument panel and speakers
Reinforced padded seats with two floor levels, tissue-specific inserts, leather seating is available on most models
Gloss low, low-gloss instrument panel upper with embossed grain
Amber backlighting for the instruments and center stack control masks
Large covered and stuffed full of storage, including a locking glove box big enough for a bag of medium size
A sliding storage bin under the front passenger seat
Flat-folding rear seat back 60/40
A cargo management system that uses rear upper and lower rails and storage nets to accommodate storage nets for everything from beverage bottles to accessories for home improvement
Powertrain
No other vehicle in the segment offers the widest range of engine choices as the 2008 Vue. The Vue XE FWD and Green Line models are equipped with the 2.4-liter Ecotec engine with variable valve timing. It produces 164 hp (122 kW) at 6,300 rpm and 160 Nm (221 Nm) of torque at 4,500 rpm. It is coupled to the Hydra-Matic 4T45 electronically controlled four-speed transaxle. A five-speed manual will be available in four-cylinder Vue XE models in early 2008.
All-wheel drive Vue XE models are equipped with a 3.5L V-6 engine, offering 215 hp (260 kW) at 5900 rpm and 220 Nm (304 Nm) of torque at 2,800 rpm, with a torque curve wide and good torque to low speeds for quick acceleration.
Vue XR and Vue Red Line, are powered by GM's sophisticated, high performance at 60 degrees in the head with dual cam 3.6-liter V-6 VVT that delivers 250 horsepower (186 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 243 Nm (329 Nm) torque at 4,400 rpm.
All models are equipped with Vue V-6 engines receive the new Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission, which helps maximize engine performance and economy.
