2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk In our opinion, the 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is a good middle ground. It's rugged but not monstrous, and it's comfortable but not overly luxurious. The Trailhawk also looks good!

The Cherokee nameplate has been back since 2014 and continues to get better. Jeep is synonymous with the outdoors, and the Trailhawk enhances the Cherokee's off-road capabilities. It comes in seven different packages and offers something for just about anyone looking for a stylish and functional SUV.

The Trailhawk is our favourite Cherokee because it offers an attractive combination of standard equipment and serious off-road capability. With the Trailhawk, you can get an optional 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with more power and better fuel economy than the V6.

This week, we tested the 2020 Cherokee Trailhawk SUV. And the term «rated» isn't something we made up! In fact, it's much more than just a badge on the side of an SUV.

Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk: what's new for 2020?

There are no significant changes for the 2020 model year. There are a few little things like Sangria and Spitfire Orange exterior paint colours and available 19-inch wheels for Limited models, but otherwise the Jeep Cherokee is virtually unchanged for 2020.

Standard features: Looking for a part!

Our 2020 Cherokee Trailhawk Elite 4×4 tester ($ 34,505) came standard with leather upholstery; heated front seats and a heated steering wheel; an upgraded in-dash driver display; an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system; and a nine-speaker audio system.

The Trailhawk, dedicated to off-roading, also features an advanced all-wheel drive system (Active Drive II with Active Drive Lock). It gets wider wheels and all-terrain tyres; increased ground clearance; off-road suspension tuning; locking rear differential; hill climb and hill descent control; baseplates; tow hooks; and unique upholstery.

If you're thinking about a new Jeep Cherokee, this free and easy search tool* can help you find the best price. Depending on local incentives and inventory availability in your area, you may be able to purchase below the manufacturer's recommended retail price.

The 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk drives through town.

Interior features: sleek and warm

Inside, the Trailhawk is leather-trimmed and equipped with premium features like heated and ventilated front seats. In fact, the heated seats and steering wheel came in handy this week during our cold mountain descents in Colorado - the perfect place to test this Trailhawk. Other premium features include a rear rearview camera, a power tailgate, remote start, an eight-way power driver's seat, and four-way driver's lumbar adjustment.

There are some hard plastics, but they make it easy to clean after a dusty day on a high mountain trail.

Our tester had an all-black interior with chrome inserts on the dash and console. The centre console has been redesigned, it's moved back slightly, creating space for cellphone storage, as well as two USB ports and a 12V socket. There's also the latest version of FCA's Uconnect infotainment system with an 8.4-inch display.

Interior features: pleasant views

The panoramic sunroof opens at the touch of a button above the windscreen. On a trip this week, we opened the lid to give our passengers a full view of the mountains. They kept commenting, even after we returned, how nice it was to have a sunroof in our Cherokee Trailhawk tester.

Rear passengers get 40.3 inches of legroom, nearly two inches more than the Grand Cherokee. The 60/40 rear seats fold down for more cargo capacity. Jeep says the rear has expanded to nearly 26 cubic feet, enough to hold a couple of golf bags. With the rear seats folded down, the maximum cargo volume is nearly 55 cubic feet.

2020 Jeep Cherokee: engine and transmission

Our Trailhawk came with an optional 2.0-litre turbocharged I-4 engine producing 270 horsepower (5,250 rpm) and 295 lb-ft of torque (3,000 to 4,500 rpm). The engine is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission standard on all Cherokees, regardless of interior or engine trim level.

A 3.2-litre Pentastar V6 engine with 271 hp and 239 lb-ft. of torque is available as an option for the Trailhawk. Although not available for the Trailhawk, a 2.4-litre Tigershark I-4 engine with 180 horsepower is offered for other trims.

How much can a 2020 Jeep Cherokee Tow?

С trailer towing package The Cherokee Trailhawk with the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine can tow a maximum of 4,000lb. That number increases to 4,500 lbs. with the 3.2-litre Pentastar V6.

Gasoline consumption of the 2020 Jeep Cherokee

EPA ratings for our tester with the 2.0-litre turbo were 20/26 city/highway and 22 when combined with Jeep Active Drive Lock (4×4). By comparison: The 3.2-litre V6 has 18/24 city/highway and 21 when combined with Jeep Active Drive Lock.

Driving dynamics: powerful and stable

The 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine would be our engine of choice, although it can be a bit noisy. It has lower torque than the V6, and the turbocharger is ideal for high altitude where oxygen is scarce. We had all the power we needed to climb sharply up a steep slope into the mountains west of Denver.

The ride is a bit stiffer due to the off-road suspension setup, but the Trailhawk is still quite smooth on the motorway. The nine-speed transmission is mostly flawless, but we did notice a slight delay between gear changes at lower speeds. This could be a result of the first gear being an aggressive 4.71: 1 for low frequencies.

Gears six through nine are tuned to a higher gear for the highway and work well with the 2.0-litre engine. Ninth gear is super overdrive, 0.48: 1. In contrast, the low gear ratio in first gear is ideal for off-road driving.

Driving dynamics: off-road!

If you're looking for a true off-road-oriented SUV, the Trailhawk should be on your shopping list. The Active Drive Lock system (with a two-speed power transfer unit) and rear differential lock cut down on off-road work. It's designed for climbing and descending the steepest terrain. The Trailhawk's 56: 1 scanning ratio makes it easy to reach a remote campsite.

The Trailhawk features Selec-Terrain for extra grip and stability when leaving the pavement. It has five modes: Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand/Dirt and Rock. Once off the motorway, we drove on a slippery and ice-covered dirt road in Snow mode. We felt confident as the Firestone Destination A / T tyres kicked in and kept us moving.

Conclusion: the pavement is unnecessary

The 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is designed for those with an active lifestyle, but it adds more upside for off-pavement adventures. The Trailhawk is truly in a class of its own, and you'll be able to drive it off the beaten path, cruising around town all week long. Don't let its good looks fool you, the Trailhawk will go just about anywhere you point it.

2020 Toyota C-HR Our take: the 2020 C-HR is built on the C platform. Toyota's new global architecture (TNGA). The ride is smooth and the handling is crisp, but engine noise inside may put buyers off. The C-HR looks sharp on the outside, but drivers may feel like they're paying the price for blind spots. Despite its merits, the 2020 Toyota C-HR probably isn't our first choice in the option-saturated segment.

The subcompact SUV class has several options for buyers, but the 2020 Toyota C-HR offers a bolder design for those who want to get noticed. We caught the eye of many drivers this week as we took to the city streets of Denver. Perhaps we were attracted to the «Hot Lava» (bright orange) paint, too. Either way, the C-HR is different from the competition.

This week, we had the opportunity to check out the top-of-the-line Toyota C-HR Limited. Among other things, we looked at driving dynamics, cabin comfort and payload capacity.

Toyota C-HR: what's new for 2020?

The Toyota C-HR gets a redesigned front end, Android Auto is now available, and LED headlights and satellite radio are now standard on all trims. New body colours for 2020 include the aforementioned Hot Lava and Supersonic Red. There's also a silver roof option for 2020.

The 2020 Toyota C-HR is available in three trims: LE, XLE and Limited.

Features and options: useful mix

The 2020 Toyota C-HR Limited ($26,350) tester came standard with adaptive LED headlights; fog lights; leather upholstery; heated front seats; dual-zone automatic climate control; and dual-way power lumbar for the driver's seat. Our tester also had heated mirrors; a rear spoiler; remote keyless entry; adjustable drive modes; 60/40 split folding rear seats; a cargo cover; and a rearview camera.

Specs include a phone with Bluetooth and audio streaming; a USB port and Wi-Fi hotspot; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; Amazon Alexa integration; and a six-speaker audio system with satellite radio. The C-HR comes standard with an eight-inch touchscreen display and a three-month trial of SiriusXM with full access.

Several advanced safety and convenience features were also standard on our C-HR Limited. These included automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking. Finally, our C-HR tester came with an optional infotainment system that added HD radio ($465) and two-tone paint.

How much does the 2020 Toyota C-HR cost?

Total manufacturer's recommended retail price, including a $1,095 destination charge, for our 2020 Toyota C-HR Limited test car: $28,435. For comparison, the 2020 Toyota C-HR is priced from $21,295.

The new C-HR is a generally affordable car. However, depending on local incentives, you may be able to save a little more. This free and easy search tool* will show you which dealers near you offer the best price.

Interior features: stylish and comfortable

The CH-R Limited's interior is better than the lower trims, and for the price, we'd prefer the Limited XLE or LE. Heated leather, eight-way power adjustment for the driver's seat, a stylish dashboard and black tone-on-tone stitching - the interior offers a good mix of comfort and style. The front seats are comfortable even for taller drivers and passengers. We had no problem finding a good cruising position with the optional seat adjustments.

The central control panel with an eight-inch touchscreen is called MeZONE. It comes with a host of easy-to-use controls and knobs that did not disappoint. In addition to MeZONE's connectivity features, the cabin will appeal to the young buyer with its attractive shapes and modern styling.

We also liked the 4.2-inch colour display ahead of the driver. It shows a variety of different things like outside temperature, trip information, fuel economy history and current driving mode. There's even a G-force monitor.

Toyota C-HR G-force 2020 Toyota C-HR G-force Display.

Interior features: rear seats and boot

Unlike many small SUVs that are only suitable for two adults, three can actually fit in the back for short outings if necessary. Rear passengers sit a little higher too, which means a more comfortable position and extra legroom. On longer journeys, rear seat passengers can be cramped, but in town this can be dealt with.

Cargo volume is 19.1 cubic feet with the rear seat backrest upright, and increases to 37 cubic feet when folded. The seats fold down to form a convenient cargo floor. This was perfect as we packed our bags for a grocery shopping trip earlier this week.

Engine and transmission

The 2020 Toyota C-HR is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 144 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque. It comes paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission with Sport, Normal and ECO modes.

Will the 2020 Toyota C-HR be all-wheel drive?

Unfortunately, all-wheel drive is not available on the 2020 C-HR.

2020 Toyota C-HR gas mileage

The EPA estimates that the C-HR gets 27/31 city/highway and 29 combined. ECO mode can be used during city driving to save fuel.

Compared to other similar cars, the C-HR is neither the worst nor the best in terms of fuel economy. If fuel economy is one of your top priorities, we recommend researching and making thorough comparisons.

How does the 2020 Toyota C-HR drive?

The C-HR has plenty of power and acceleration for city driving and everyday driving. We drove it through Denver, but the altitude eventually took its toll on the 144-horsepower engine. We took it up the I-70 motorway west of Denver, where it struggled to keep up the pace as we climbed to an elevation of 8,300 feet.

While it's not a typical driving environment for most people, the C-HR can feel like it's working hard at times. If you live at sea level, the small SUV should have plenty of power, but you can feel it going up a hill with a full load of passengers and cargo. Otherwise, the C-HR delivers respectable handling and confident dynamics even in the tight mountain corners leading up to our house.

The exterior caused some visibility issues on the road.

Traffic dynamics: noise and visibility problems

The motorway ride is smooth, but we thought the engine noise in the cabin was pervasive as the automatic variator kept shifting. We kept the transmission in normal for most of the week, but shifted to sport if we needed to pass slower traffic. But that only made it louder inside.

Rear and side visibility is difficult due to the bold exterior design. Difficulties may arise when changing lanes in busy traffic.

Fortunately, we had dry roads this week, and the front-wheel drive configuration performed well on our trips through Denver. However, if we had snow, the C-HR could have left us stranded given where we live. We would like to see the C-HR offered with all-wheel drive in the future.

Conclusion: enjoyable, but shopping

The 2020 Toyota C-HR looks attractive and appeals to young buyers with its bold looks. If you don't need a lot of power and don't haul a lot of cargo on a regular basis, the C-HR is a good choice. If you live in a cold climate and want the peace of mind that all-wheel drive can provide, there are other vehicles on the market that are better suited for you.

2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Our opinion: compromises will have to be made with the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. For example, to accommodate the hybrid drivetrain, the Outlander PHEV forgoes a third row and a spare wheel. The increase in fuel economy reduces the fun factor behind the wheel, as this option is not very appealing or energetic. However, the various driving modes maximise charge and range in almost any situation. And as a bonus, all-wheel drive is there in moderation. Appearance72 Appearance80Driving Dynamics70Safety and Performance87 Everyday Functionality90All-Wheel Drive Range and Efficiency

SUV buyers who want to save fuel should put the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) on their list. It comes with DC fast charging, 22 miles of electric-only power, and over 70 combined MPGe. The Outlander PHEV also features an extensive list of advanced safety technologies, a new upscale interior package, and lightweight off-road capability for those with active lifestyles.

This week we drove the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV GT with all-wheel drive.

Mitsubishi Outlander: what's new for 2020?

The Outlander SEL now has a frontal collision avoidance system with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning and automatic high beam as standard equipment. A second rear USB charging port is now available on SEL trims.

The eight-inch Smartphone Link Display Audio system features new graphics and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Features and options: Comfort and technology

Our 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV GT ($ 41,495) came standard with 18-inch alloy wheels; automatic headlights; fog lights; heated side mirrors; automatic wipers; a power tailgate; keyless entry; and push-button start. Inside, our test car had leather upholstery; power and heated front seats; 60/40 split folding and reclining rear seats; dual-zone automatic climate control; and a rearview camera.

Technical and communication features included three USB ports and an eight-inch touchscreen display compatible with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Driver safety features included frontal collision warning with pedestrian detection; automatic emergency braking; lane departure warning; blind spot monitoring; rear cross traffic alert; and automatic high beam.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV for the 2020 model year.

Features and options: audio and luxury

Our GT tester included a sunroof; heated steering wheel; multi-view camera; dual AC outlets (replacing the rear USB ports); Adaptive Cruise Control; and an upgraded sound system. The new Mitsubishi Power Sound audio system replaces the previous Rockford-Fosgate audio system on GT trims.

There's a new one available for the GT Premium Interior package (US$400). He added a diamond-shaped leather pattern to the seats, black accents on the dashboard, and a black floor console inside our 2020 Outlander PHEV. The exterior was painted Pearl White ($395).

How much does the Outlander PHEV cost?

Total manufacturer's recommended retail price, including destination, for our test vehicle: $43,600. By comparison, the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV costs from $36,295. If you're looking to buy a new Outlander PHEV, this free and easy search tool* can help you find the best price. Depending on local incentives and inventory availability in your area, you may be able to purchase below the manufacturer's recommended retail price.

Interior features: comfortable but compact

Upon entering the Outlander PHEV, the GT's new premium interior is immediately apparent as the quilted diamond pattern really stands out. New comfortable leather-trimmed seats and an abundance of soft-touch materials in the cabin. The PHEV-specific four-spoke steering wheel features an EV mode button and a unique switch on the centre console. The driver can select five levels of regenerative braking at any time with the paddle switches within easy reach.

We made extensive use of heated seats and steering wheel as temperatures dropped in the Denver area this week. The PHEV's optional equipment in this model doesn't affect front and rear headroom or legroom. However, the PHEV only has two rows of seats, unlike the standard Outlander, which offers three rows.

The PHEV's cargo area is affected by the taller rear deck, as cargo capacity behind the second row drops from 34.2 to 30.4 cubic feet. There's also no temporary spare tyre under the floor because the PHEV uses that space for hybrid equipment, replacing it with a tyre inflation kit.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Transmission

The Outlander PHEV is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 117 horsepower. The engine is paired with two 60-kilowatt electric motors on each axle. These units power all four wheels and give the Outlander PHEV a total system output of 190 horsepower. A front-mounted generator converts mechanical energy into electricity and continuously charges the battery pack, while a power drive unit helps convert the electricity and send it to the front engine.

Electricity is stored in a 12 kWh lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 80 cells connected in series (total voltage 300 V). The battery is located in a dustproof and waterproof enclosure under the black interior floor and between the front and rear axles. It does not intrude into the cabin and passengers will not know it is there.

What is the range of the Outlander PHEV?

The Outlander PHEV has enough power from the battery alone to get an EPA-rated 22 miles as long as you're on level ground. It gets an EPA-estimated 74 MPGe and 25 miles per gallon on gas alone.

There are three ways to charge the plug-in hybrid system. You can use a 120-volt Level 1 backup power cord, which takes eight to 13 hours to charge. You can use standard 240-volt Level 2 electric vehicle charging equipment, which takes about 3.5 hours; or you can use CHAdeMO's 400-volt Level 3 charger, which charges the battery to 80 per cent in just 25 minutes.

Don't worry if you run your battery down to zero. The Outlander PHEV has electric motors at both ends and uses regenerative braking, where both drive motors are temporarily reconfigured to use their magnetism to convert motion into electricity. So if you're driving uphill, you'll notice a battery charge indicator on the dashboard as you drive.

The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV on the open road.

Driving dynamics: solid, but lacks power

The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is an undemanding crossover that's mostly quiet, comfortable, and well-mannered on the open road. Be that as it may, it can seem a bit bland and detached from the driver. For example, the 2.0-litre engine coupled to a single-speed fixed-gearbox gearbox is designed for fuel economy. It won't give you the thrill and excitement that other petrol-only SUVs can.

We pushed the Outlander PHEV hard up I-70 at 9,000 feet and it held its own while carrying two people. Add to that a full complement of kids and gear, though, and it's not easy. If you're driving around town, which most families do, the Outlander PHEV will do the trick.

Although the optional lane departure warning is a little annoying, it worked almost too well when we were driving on two-lane mountain roads. Our Outlander PHEV also features frontal collision avoidance, which notifies the driver when he or she is following another vehicle too closely. If the driver doesn't react, it automatically applies the brakes to reduce the force of the impact.

Driving dynamics: the advantages of all-wheel drive

Families looking for the safety of four-wheel drive will benefit from Mitsubishi's years of experience in rally racing, where they have refined the system. The system, called S-AWC, sends optimum torque to each wheel while driving, even when only one tyre is on ice. We were able to test it on a few snow-covered roads in the mountains and felt confident.

Should I buy an Outlander PHEV?

If you're looking for an affordable and efficient SUV, the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is worth considering. It's an example of how you don't have to enter the luxury market to get plug-in hybrid technology and all-wheel drive vehicles. When it comes to all-wheel drive systems, Mitsubishi has one of the best.

Toyota GR Supra 2020 года Наше мнение: это непрактично, но расход топлива у него довольно хороший! После двух десятилетий отсутствия, мы думаем, что Supra устояла в первый год своего существования на рынке. Если вы ищете веселую машину и у вас есть немного лишних денег, вы останетесь довольны Supra 2020 года. Мы думаем, что он предлагает отличную производительность за доллар. Внешний вид90Внутренняя планировка70Динамика движения96Безопасность и технические характеристики74Простое обслуживаниеХорошая экономияМощность двигателяКрошечная кабинаКлимат-контроль83

Мы месяцами ждали, чтобы получить Toyota GR Supra 2020 года, потому что этот журналист живет на высоте 8300 футов в горах Колорадо. Потребовалась целая вечность, чтобы погода изменилась, а снег наконец растаял. Снег плохо сочетается с заднеприводным спорткаром!

Но наступил июнь, а вместе с ним и более теплая погода. Нам не терпелось сесть за руль новой Supra!

Toyota GR Supra: что нового в 2020 году

Supra возвращается после долгого 21-летнего перерыва с двумя уровнями отделки салона (3.0 и 3.0 Premium) и Launch Edition. Возрожденная Supra — это заднеприводное двухместное спортивное купе с небольшим количеством BMW, что очень хорошо. У него качество Toyota с немецким двигателем и коробкой передач BMW. Это довольно хорошая комбинация для любителей производительности.

Вы, вероятно, уже знаете, что GR означает GAZOO Racing, автоспортивное подразделение Toyota. Это означает, что он был разработан под влиянием генерального директора Toyota Акио Тойоды как гонщика. Мы убедились в этом не понаслышке, когда недавно ездили на Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium 2020 года выпуска.

Supra 3.0 Premium: стандартные функции

Supra 3.0 Premium (базовая цена 53 990 долларов для нашего тестера) стандартно поставляется с 19-дюймовыми алюминиевыми колесами, обтянутыми резиной Michelin Pilot Super Sport, светодиодными фарами, дистанционным запуском и адаптивными амортизаторами подвески. Внутри у нас была кожа и имитация замши, сиденья с электроприводом и функции памяти водителя.

Supra 2020 также оснащена технологией безопасности, такой как предупреждение о лобовом столкновении с автоматическим экстренным торможением, системой удержания полосы движения и автоматическим дальним светом.

Дополнительные удобства и опции

В стандартную комплектацию входят 8,8-дюймовый сенсорный экран, навигация, Apple CarPlay, аудиосистема JBL с 12 динамиками премиум-класса и телематические услуги Supra Connect. Другие функции 3.0 Premium включают модернизированные задние тормоза, проекционный дисплей, беспроводную зарядную площадку и сиденья с подогревом.

Этот тестер Supra поставлялся с дополнительным пакетом Driver Assist, который добавляет адаптивный круиз-контроль, мониторинг слепых зон с предупреждением о перекрестном движении сзади и датчики парковки (1195 долларов США).

Сколько стоит Toyota GR Supra 2020 года?

Общая рекомендованная производителем розничная цена, включая пункт назначения, для нашей прессы: 56 220 долларов США. Для сравнения, Toyota GR Supra 2020 года стоит от 49 990 долларов. Launch Edition, основанный на версии 3.0 Premium, стоит от 55 250 долларов.

Несмотря на то, что цена Supra соответствует получаемой вами производительности, вы можете сэкономить немного больше, в зависимости от стимулов в вашем регионе. Этот бесплатный и простой инструмент поиска * покажет вам, какие дилеры предлагают вам лучшую цену.

Toyota GR Supra Launch Edition 2020 года.

Interior Features: First Impressions

Новый кокпит GR Supra напомнил нам интерьер BMW, а сигнал зажигания даже поступил от баварского автопроизводителя. Качество интерьера похоже на BMW, а отделка и отделка — на высшем уровне. Переключение передач, климат-контроль и информационно-развлекательный экран выглядят так, как будто они пришли от кабриолета BMW Z4.

Привлекательная кабина в нашем тестере была украшена черными кожаными сиденьями, черными дверными панелями и черной консолью. Серебристая строчка на сиденьях и серебристая окантовка приборной панели завершили интерьер.

Особенности интерьера: некоторые недостатки

Кабина удобная, и как только вы окажетесь в ней, кажется, что вы готовы к запуску. У нашей тестовой Supra была аудиосистема премиум-класса JBL с 12 динамиками, которая наполняла небольшую кабину приятным звуком. Есть один порт USB и Apple CarPlay, но Android Auto не предлагается.

Здесь не так много места для хранения вещей первой необходимости, поэтому вам может потребоваться небольшой рюкзак, чтобы хранить повседневные вещи. Есть два подстаканника, но они занимают место, где обычно находится ящик для хранения. Есть багажник (10,2 кубических фута), доступ к которому осуществляется через задний люк, к которому также можно получить доступ через проход кабины для перевозки более длинных предметов.

Наша единственная реальная претензия к интерьеру — это то, что система климат-контроля нуждается в некоторых настройках. Невозможно синхронизировать две зоны, и нам никогда не было достаточно холодного воздуха, дующего из верхних вентиляционных отверстий.

Компоновка салона Toyota Supra 2020 года выпуска.

Engine and transmission

Toyota GR Supra 2020 оснащена 3,0-литровым шестицилиндровым двигателем с двойным турбонаддувом от BMW. Двигатель выдает 335 лошадиных сил и 365 фунт-фут. крутящего момента. Он соединен с восьмиступенчатой ​​автоматической коробкой передач, единственной доступной трансмиссией, которая передает мощность на задние колеса. Мы удивлены, что Toyota не предлагает шестиступенчатую механическую коробку передач.

Toyota заявляет, что Supra разгоняется до 60 за 4,1 секунды с максимальной скоростью, ограниченной электроникой, равной 155. Мы можем подтвердить первое, но не последнее (нам не требовался штраф за превышение скорости!).

Supra 2020 предлагает два режима движения: нормальный и спортивный. В спортивном режиме повышаются точки переключения передач, повышается чувствительность дроссельной заслонки, увеличивается нагрузка на рулевое управление и усиливается звук выхлопа. Для трек-дней в новой Supra есть стандартная функция Launch Control.

Расход бензина Toyota GR Supra 2020 года выпуска.

Оценки расхода топлива EPA — 24/31 город / шоссе и 26 комбинированных миль на галлон. По сравнению с другими автомобилями с аналогичными характеристиками, Toyota Supra на самом деле превосходит всех остальных.

Президент Toyota Акио Тойода лично тестировал Supra 2020 года на Нюрбургринге и других трассах во время разработки. Он сказал, что хотел бы убедиться, что новая Supra намного превзойдет ожидания нетерпеливых фанатов.

Toyota GR Supra 2020: Готовы к поворотам!

Когда мы впервые посмотрели на технические характеристики Supra, мы были разочарованы мощностью в 335 лошадиных сил. Но после тщательного тестирования нового спортивного автомобиля на этой неделе у него достаточно мощности, чтобы взволновать большинство энтузиастов вождения. Настоящий спортивный автомобиль с задним приводом — это не только прямолинейная скорость, но и соотношение мощности и веса и общий баланс. В случае Supra этот баланс составляет 50:50.

Настоящий спортивный автомобиль — это еще и управляемость в поворотах, которая так же важна, как и мощность на прямой. Что выделяет Supra 2020 в поворотах, так это активный дифференциал, который контролирует распределение крутящего момента между задними колесами. В дополнение к активному дифференциалу, восьмиступенчатая автоматическая коробка передач была плавной, и нам понравились подрулевые переключатели на рулевом колесе в спортивном режиме.

Катаясь по горам

Мы проехали на Supra 2020 года по горам Колорадо и испытали этот спортивный автомобиль на крутых извилистых поворотах. Баланс веса 50:50 очевиден, поскольку им легко управлять в поворотах без наклона тела. Шины Michelin Pilot Super Sport также помогают, поскольку они обеспечивают хорошее сцепление с дорогой. Когда вам нужно, четырехпоршневые передние и задние тормоза Brembo обеспечивают достаточную тормозную способность.

Мы действительно ехали боком по грунтовой дороге, но Toyota GR Supra 2020 года предназначена для сухих дорог.

Качество езды стабильное, но не резкое, но, как и на большинстве спортивных автомобилей, неровности более выражены, и будет слышен шум дороги и ветра. По большей части сиденья обеспечивают хорошую поддержку, но после долгой поездки мы были готовы размять ноги и спину!
