New 2010 Lexus GX460
2010 Lexus GX460
The Lexus GX460 is a renewable gilded version of the Toyota 4Runner, a mall-cruising shopping-utility vehicle with the chops for off-road traveling. Both trucks have been significantly redesigned for 2010 and continue to share the same body-on-frame construction and solid rear axle. But whereas the 4Runner more or less embraces its off-road pretensions, the GX hides its ruggedness under a veneer of civility and opulence.

The new luxury version of the Lexus is priced for $50 000. Blame narrow second-row seating, uncontrolled body motions, and an underpowered V-8. Times have changed since even then, with truck-based SUVs nowadays serving mostly as oversized workhorses or niche-filling extravagances rather than luxury rides.

Replacing the 263-hp, 4.7-liter V-8 and five-speed automatic transmission in the previous 2003–09 GX470 is a 4.6-liter V-8—hence the new GX460 moniker—mated to a six-speed automatic. Although the new engine pumps out 38 additional hp and 6 more lb-ft of torque than the outgoing mill, 301 hp and 329 lb-ft are still on the low end of the segment. Indeed, that output merely matches that of some V-6s. Acceleration is adequate, but with 5300 pounds to lug around—500 or so more than before—and a gearbox that’s hesitant to downshift except under full throttle, the GX460 feels like it could use.

Elegance and comfort from KIA – 2011 KIA Sorento
2011 KIA Sorento front
Do you know KIA Sorento? Yes? Well, I think you must forget everything you knew about that model of automobiles. The new SUV of KIA Sorento for the next 2011 is absolutely changed in comparison with the old one. Let’s started from the body shape of that midsize SUV. The former body-on-frame SUV has been reinvented in its second generation as a far more relevant, if slightly less macho, crossover.

As a crossover, the Sorrento ditches the outgoing model’s truck-based and stiffly sprung ladder frame in favor of a much more rigid, more compliant unibody. The classis of the SUV from KIA is taken from the model of Hyundai – Hyundai Santa Fe. And after that have a strut-type suspension in front and a multilink design at the back. In place of the outgoing model’s wheezy 3.3- and 3.8-liter V-6s are a miserly 2.3-liter four-cylinder and a gutsy 3.5-liter V-6. All transmissions—a manual for base four-bangers and autos for the rest—have six forward speeds. Front-wheel drive replaces rear-wheel drive as the base drivetrain offering, and the optional four-wheel-drive system now employs an electronic locking differential.

There are seven passenger seats, which is with two more than the previous model of KIA. In other words, the Sorento is no longer an inexpensive but less-than-ideally packaged relic but rather is closer to the sort of SUV that young, family-driven customers are looking for.
