2018 Toyota C-HR [US]

2018 Toyota C-HR [US] 

First shown in concept form at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, the 2018 C-HR maintains the concept's avant-garde physique; modern, comfortable cabin; and bold, outgoing character. The C-HR is available in two grades, XLE and XLE Premium, each equipped with a long list of standard features that includes 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, bucket seating, and 7-inch audio display.

But, the Toyota C-HR doesn't only look great - it's got the sportiness to impress thanks to the efforts of Deputy Chief Engineer, Hiro Koba, who is a diehard racer with speed coursing through his veins. Koba-san and team made sure the C-HR exhilarates its driver anytime, anywhere, including around the famed Nürburgring circuit where vehicle development was chiefly executed. Like its uncanny looks, the C-HR's blend of comfort, control, consistency, and responsiveness is extraordinarily impressive for the competitive paradigm it aims to shift.

At the Toyota C-HR's nose, two slim projector-beam halogen headlights with LED daytime running lights (DRL) and auto-on/off activation wrap deep into its toned shoulders - nearly all the way into the front quarter panels. Because of this, the vehicle looks wider than it is, and possesses an assertive fascia that's uncommon in the segment. In fact, its dimensions - width (70.7 in.), height (61.6 in), length (171.2 in.), and wheelbase (103.9 in.) - can best be described as compact and neat. Its front and rear tracks match that of Toyota's diehard sports car, 86, at 60.6 inches.

Along with the weight, there’s the matter of the CVT. Not all CVTs are bad these days, but this one is a throwback to when they were. In-gear acceleration, like passing, is painfully slow. If it hits 60 mph in less than 10 seconds, I’ll demand a recount. If you’re trying to find a hole in traffic, you’ll step on the gas, count two, listen to the engine wind up to 5,000 rpm, count another two, then feel the car begin to accelerate—slowly.

Responsibility lies at the feet of the powertrain, which is undersized and overstressed. The all-new 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes just 144 hp and 139 lb-ft of torque, which might be OK in a Mazda CX-3. But the front-drive C-HR weighs 300 pounds more than an all-wheel drive CX-3. How and why a vehicle this small weighs 3,300 pounds is a mystery, but regardless of where it comes from, it’s an albatross.

2018-2019 Toyota Camry Details

2018-2019 Toyota Camry

The all-new 2018 Toyota Camry, the best-selling car in America for the past 15 years, will be rolling into dealers in late summer 2017. The excitement over the eighth-generation sedan is the result of its total evolution, from a proven, dependable and safe car to one that adds a more exciting and emotional character, thanks to its much talked about newfound performance and style.

The new Toyota Camry utilizes TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture), which represents a completely new strategy to the way the company designs, engineers, and packages its vehicles. TNGA retains all of Toyota's traditional values of superlative build quality and safety while injecting a fun driving experience that plays on all the senses. The physical manifestation is the usage of a new engine, transmission and GA-K platform.

Like the 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine, the Toyota Camry's newly-developed 3.5-liter V-6 is equipped with the highly-advanced D-4S direct injection system, along with a specially-developed new VVT-iW (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Wide) variable valve timing system. Thanks to the addition of these highly efficient engine technologies, it delivers higher power output, and class-leading fuel efficiency.

The 24-valve DOHC 3.5-liter V-6 engine employs the VVT-iW system for the intake, with VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing - Intelligent) on the exhaust, an efficient 11.8:1 compression ratio and a more squared bore and stroke of 3.70 inches and 3.27 inches, respectively, in comparison to the longer stroke of the Camry's new 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder power plant. Power output is rated at 301 horsepower at 6,600 rpm an impressive torque rating of 267 ft.-lb. at 4,700 rpm. Despite its exceptional power output, the new 3.5-liter V-6 engine achieves exemplary fuel efficiency with an EPA-estimated rating of 22 mpg city/33 mpg highway/26 mpg combined, an increase of eight percent for combined mpg over the previous V6.

The V-6's VVT-iW variable valve timing system has been engineered to ensure high torque production at all engine speeds. It utilizes the Atkinson cycle to enhance fuel economy without sacrificing performance or engine start ability at extremely low temperatures as well as in wide-open throttle (WOT) engine operation. Fuel efficiency is further enhanced by decreasing pumping losses from the delayed closing of the intake valves.

2018 Toyota RAV-4 Adventure details

                                                     
                                           

2018 RAV4 Adventure: A Closer Look at the Rugged Compact CUV

​1. Exterior Styling & The "Adventure" Treatment

​When evaluating the 2018 RAV4, the Adventure trim was Toyota's attempt to give a mild-mannered family crossover a tougher, off-road look.

• ​Visual Enhancements: It gains oversized black wheel-arch moldings, lower body cladding, unique 18-inch black alloy wheels, and a matte-black hood decal.
• ​Ground Clearance: Ground clearance increases slightly from 6.1 inches on standard models to 6.5 inches (165 mm). While better for light gravel roads, it remains lower than true off-roaders like the Subaru Forester.
• ​Styling Verdict: As you noted, the exterior design feels a bit aged or plain. The angular nose and bulky rear fascia do not feel as modern or cohesive as competitors from the same era.

​2. Interior Design & Everyday Practicality

​The cabin is arguably where the 2018 RAV4 shines brightest. Toyota focused on functional, durable ergonomics that hold up exceptionally well over time.

• ​Controls & Layout: Large, tactile climate control knobs and straightforward physical buttons mean you never have to hunt through touchscreen menus to adjust basic settings.
• ​Trim-Specific Accents: The Adventure model adds heavy-duty all-weather floor mats, carbon-fiber-style trim inserts, a 120V/100W power outlet in the cargo area, and unique shift knobs.
• ​Cargo Space: It offers an impressive 38.4 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats, expanding to 73.4 cubic feet when folded flat—among the best in its class.

​3. Powertrain & Driving Dynamics

​Under the hood of the 2018 RAV4, mechanical simplicity takes priority over high-end performance.

• ​Engine Specs: Powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 176 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
• ​Towing Upgrade: While standard front-wheel-drive models tow up to 1,500 lbs, the Adventure trim’s upgraded radiator and supplemental oil coolers boost towing capacity to 3,500 lbs on All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models.
• ​Driving Feel: Acceleration is modest (0–60 mph takes around 8.9 to 9.3 seconds). The engine sounds strained under hard acceleration, and high-speed wind noise is noticeable inside the cabin.
