Toyota Corolla more fuel efficient than everOverall: Toyota’s multi-million-seller com-

pact brand adds more size and sizzle and also moves up a notch in its fuel-efficiency rank-ing.

Drivetrain: Base 1.8-litre four-cylinder en-gine; five-speed manual transmission and four-speed automatics remain; fuel-sipping CVT optional, standard with LE Eco model.

For a small car, the Corolla has some big numbers to brag about. Like the fact that in 47 years Toyota has sold more than 40 mil-lion of them and currently operates 16 fac-tories worldwide that ship Corollas to 154 countries. The all-new 11th-generation North American version comes on strong with a bit more style — especially from the windshield forward — than its broad base of customers are used to seeing. Nothing too radical, mind you, but just enough de-sign drama to create some politely muffled ooh’s and ah’s. Where the new Corolla shines, however, is in passenger accommo-dations and comfort. The car has grown about four inches in overall length and in distance between the front and rear wheels. In addition a slightly wider cabin also contributes to more passenger space. Interior styling has also improved, but in a conservative way that differs from more

daring competitors. Likewise, engine choices eschew anything performance-re-lated. A 132-horsepower four-cylinder car-ries over from the previous generation and is connected to a six-speed manual trans-mission for the base CE and the S. A four-speed automatic transmission is optional on the CE, while a new continuously vari-able unit (CVT) is optional for S and stan-dard for LE and LE ECO. To reduce that

“rubber-band” sensation of varying engine speed that’s prevalent with many CVT ap-plications, Toyota’s engineers added seven artificial shift points that function automat-ically (or can be controlled through avail-able steering-column-mounted paddle shifters) to simulate the action of a regular automatic transmission. The LE ECO is also equipped with a 140-horsepower version of the 1.8 that’s rated at 6.5 l/100 km on the

highway and 4.6 in the city, compared to the base model’s 6.9/5.2 rating with the CVT. Aside from a more efficient engine with special variable valve timing, those figures are achieved with the help of un-derbody panels that improve the car’s aero-dynamics (and reduce highway-speed fuel consumption). As before, entry-level Corol-las don’t come with air conditioning ; that’s saved for the LE and the S. The LE ECO gets climate control. All models comes with steel wheels as standard, with aluminum wheels available only as an option.•Base price (incl. destination): $17,600•Type: Four-door sedan•Engine (hp): 1.8-litre DOHC I4 (132, 140 LE ECO)•Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed manual; four-speed automatic (opt. on base); continu-ously variable (opt.)•Mileage (city/hwy): 7.1/5.2 (6MT); 6.5/4.6 (LE ECO)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact air-bags; side-curtain airbags; driver’s side knee airbag; front-passenger seat-cushion airbag; anti-lock brakes; stability control; traction control•Weight (lb.): 1,265

2014 Toyota Corolla

Toyota Tundra2014 ToyotaTundra 2014 Scion tC

Overall: Toyota gives the Tundra a re-fresh with a new nose, better-quality interi-or parts and a new “1794 Edition” that’s the company’s take on high-end cowboy luxury.

Drivetrain: Two V8s that produce 310 and 381 horsepower; six-speed automatic transmissions all around.

Although Toyota hasn’t sold as many of its full-size Tundras as it might have expect-ed, it hasn’t given up. In fact, the Tundra has been given a mid-cycle facelift that in-corporates a new hood and reprofiled grille, along with a three-piece lower bum-per and squared-off fenders and wheel wells. The bed sides and the cargo area are new as is the tailgate. However, the overall profile hasn’t changed: Tundras continue to be available in your choice of Regular-cab, extended-length Double Cab and four-door CrewMax with its extra-sized rear doors.

The 310-horsepower 4.6-litre V8 and top-tuned 381-horsepower 5.7 V8 are un-touched and both use six-speed automatic transmissions. Four-wheel-drive is optional, of course. Inside, the roomy cabin features several improvements to make life easier for the driver, including moving the HVAC and audio controls six centimetres closer.

New seats feature better ventilation and can also travel more. Base regular-cab mod-els actually come fairly well equipped with air conditioning and a 6.1-inch (15.5-centi-metre) touchscreen display with Bluetooth short-range wireless networking and a backup camera. Adding more doors to the cab automatically gets you more, although many of those standard features can be added to regular-cab models by choosing the SR5 Package and the SR5 Plus Package. The new Platinum 1794 Edition is billed as a tribute to the ranch, founded in the year 1794, where the Tundra plant is located in Texas. You get saddle-brown leather touch-es with suede inserts, and other luxuries. •Base price: $28,450 (regular cab)•Type: Full-size pickup•Base engine: 4.6-litre DOHC V8 (310)•Optional engine: 5.7-litre DOHC V8 (381)•Layout: Front-engine, rear- /four-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 14.2/10.5 (4.6, 2WD)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; driver/front passenger knee airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control•Weight (lb.): 2,230

Scion tCOverall: Scion is so impressed with how

its rear-wheel-drive FR-S coupe looks that it’s making the 2014 tC coupe look similar.

Drivetrain: A 180-horsepower 2.5-litre four-cylinder sends power to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, or optional six-speed automatic.

Now that the rear-wheel-drive FR-S is offi-cially a hit, Scion is letting some of the magic spread to the older sibligs. The tC now has new squintier headlights and a larger dark grey grille that expands as it heads south. There’s also a new hood and a new 18-inch wheel design. The rear end gets new tail-lights, bumper cover and lower fascia. The revisions still leave buyers with freedom to make dealer-supplied modifications such as different wheels, spoilers and even a wide-body kit. Under the hood there’s a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that generates 179 horsepower and 173 pound-feet of torque. Six-speed transmissions, either manual or optional automatics, handle the shifting du-ties. Still in play is Scion’s philosophy of of-fering well-equipped cars in one trim level that can then be customized, so the stan-dard-equipment list includes air condition-ing, cruise control, 18-inch alloy wheels, an-

ti-lock brakes, a power dual-pane moonroof, power windows, locks and mirrors. The 2014 model does do a few things differently, including a new standard 15-centimetre dis-play-audio system. The tC also comes with the requisite six airbags plus a driver’s knee airbag. With the rear seat (which actually re-clines up to 45 degrees) and the front pas-senger seat folded flat, the hatchback-acces-sible stowage area can swallow objects up to 250-centimetres (eight feet) in length. That’s impressive value for a car that rings in at dollar-stretching $22,850, including desti-nation and free basic maintenance at the 8,000- and 16,000-kilometre intervals. It’s those little extras that make the range of Toyota’s junior-division cars so popular.•Base price (incl. destination): $23,000•Type: Two-door hatchback coupe•Engine (hp): 2.5-litre DOHC I4 (179)•Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed manual; six-speed automatic (opt.)•l/100 km (city/highway): 8.9/6.4 (MT)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; driver’s knee airbag; anti-lock brakes•Weight (kg): 1,380

Grand Cherokee stuns with new turbo diesel engineOverall: The legendary Grand Cherokee

gets better looking while using less fuel with all-new turbo-diesel engine; stoplight-racer SRT gets standard launch control and new transmission for faster getaways.

Drivetrain: New turbo-diesel V6 has more torque than a gasoline “Hemi” V8, but base 3.6-litre V6 is perfect for all-around use; optional 360-horse V8 is a towing and heavy-hauling favourite; the SRT8’s 470-horsepower “Hemi” V8 lights a rocket under the Grand Cherokee’s plat-form, if that’s your thing; eight-speed auto-matics now standard across the board.

Although now well into its fourth genera-tion, the rugged five-passenger Grand Cherokee remains one of the most popular vehicles in its class. To keep it there, Jeep has come up with more than a few mid-life upgrades, both above and below the sur-face. While GC’s on- and off-road agility is largely attributable to the various suspen-sion components it shares with the Mer-cedes-Benz ML-class tall wagon, the Jeep is tuned very differently. Under the hood, Jeep uses the corporate 290-horsepower 3.6-litre V6 while the 360-horsepower 5.7-litre “Hemi” V8 is optional. However, Jeep is finally reintroducing a turbo-diesel

engine in the GC for 2014. Although it’s similar in displacement and output to the last diesel, the 3.0-litre “EcoDiesel” (240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque) is sourced from Italian firm VM Motori rather than Mercedes-Benz. The EcoDiesel can deliver 9.8 l/100 km in the city and 7.0 on the highway, versus 12.4 and 8.3 for the V6. Part of those savings are attributable to the new eight-speed automatic transmis-sion, even in the high-powered SRT8. With a 470-horsepower 6.4-litre “Hemi”, 20-inch

wheels with stickier road-biased tires, up-graded brakes, active suspension and ac-tive limited-slip differentials that are now re-tuned to send more power to the rear in enthusiastic driving, this is one Jeep that’s as much fun through corners as it is from a standing start. Jeep states this speed brat will reach 60 mph (96 km-h) in less than five seconds, which is made even easier in 2014 thanks to standard launch control. Other more “normal” GC models — Lare-do, Limited, Overland and Summit, which

is new for 2014 — come in standard four-wheel-drive. The Summit is a full-on luxu-ry model that eclipses even the already spangly Overland and includes adaptive HID headlights and dual exhaust tips, while inside everything is slathered in “Natura Plus” leather, open-pore wood trim, a faux-suede headliner and dual-pane moonroof. Finally, Summit features an 825-watt 19-speaker Harmon Kardon sur-round-sound system that’ll replicate any music perfectly. The best 4x4 system is Quadra Drive II that includes Jeep’s Selec-Terrain control with settings for Sand/Mud; Snow; and Rock for off-road terrain plus a Sport setting for dry pavement. •Base price (incl. destination): $41,700; $64,700 (SRT)•Type: Four-door sport-utility vehicle•Base engine (hp): 3.6-litre DOHC V6 (290)•Optional engine (hp): 5.7-litre OHV V8 (360); 3.0-litre DOHC V6, turbo-diesel (240); 6.7-litre OHV V8 (470, SRT)•Layout: Front-engine, four-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Eight-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 12.4/8.3 (3.6)•Safety: Front airbags; side-curtain air-bags; anti-lock brakes; stability control •Weight (kg): 2,030

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

Ram Heavy Duty2014 Ram HD 2014 Grand Caravan

Overall: Although they’re not redesigned often, HD pickups are continually evolving; Ram HD is now the first non-SRT vehicle to get the hotrod 6.4-litre “Hemi” V8.

After the Ram 2500 and 3500 series pick-ups upped the stakes with their optional Cummins turbo-diesel available in evil, evil-er and eviler-est grades in 2013, that left a rather big step down to the base 5.7-litre V8. What to do? Well, add the 6.4-litre SRT V8 to the lineup, of course. As for the Cummins, the tamest of the 6.7-litre inline six-cylinder powerplants is rated at 350 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque, while the interme-diate version pushes those numbers to 370 horsepower and 800 pound-feet. For maxi-mum thrust and grunt, the 385-horse unit lays down 850 pound-feet. The Cummins can be matched to a six-speed manual trans-mission (the only shift-it-yourself in its class), or a six-speed automatic. The result is a truck that can haul and tow up to 7,730 ki-logram of trailer weight and up to 820 kilo-grams of tongue weight using a convention-al Class V hitch. The turbo-diesel has a stan-dard exhaust brake that uses the engine’s compression to help decelerate the vehicle. That means shorter stops and less brake

wear. Previously an SRT exclusive in the car line, the 6.4 is optional in both the 2500 and 3500. The 6.4 delivers 410 horses and 429 pound-feet of torque. For maximum towing, a coil-sprung rear suspension with air blad-ders is available on 2500 models, while 3500 use optional air springs integrated into the existing leaf-sprung suspension. Tow rat-ings of just under 8,180 kilograms and 13,600 kilograms, respectively, are simply ri-diculous. Of course four-wheel-drive is avail-able, but in the HD it has a disconnect fea-ture that disengages the forward driveshaft from the transfer case when not needed, thus cutting fuel consumption. •Base price (incl. destination): $41,200•Type: Two- /four-door heavy-duty pickup•Base engine (hp): 5.7-litre OHV V8 (383)•Optional engine (hp): 6.4-litre OHV V8 (410); 6.7-litre OHV I6, turbo-diesel (350, 370, 385)•Layout: Front-engine, rear- /four-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed manual (std. with turbo-diesel); six-speed automatic (opt. on 6.7, std. with 5.7, 6.4)•l/100 km (city/highway): n/a•Safety: Front airbags, side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes•Weight (kg): 2,410

Grand CaravanOverall: Dodge created the whole mini-

van segment 30 years ago and now cele-brates the Grand Caravan’s birthday with a special model.

Drivetrain: Solid 3.6-litre V6 with six-speed automatic transmission posts re-spectable fuel-consumption numbers.

The minivan segment was sparked 30 years ago with the Chrysler “Magic Wag-ons” and that’s a good excuse for a birthday party. The Grand Caravan combines a great starting price with plenty of space and de-cent performance. Since its 2011-model-year updating, the GC drives more securely and frugally with a revised suspension topped with low-rolling-resistance tires to help prop up fuel economy. At the same time, the interior was upgraded with new gauges and soft-touch dashboard and door-panel surfaces replacing hard plastic. The 3.6-litre “Pentastar” V6 that was introduced at the same time produces 283 horsepower and, mated to a six-speed automatic trans-mission, easily runs with the minivan herd for fuel consumption. Inside, the standard third-row split-folding bench seat can be power folded to create a flat load floor. The Stow ‘n’ Go feature comes with a one-

touch-down feature and provides out-of-sight storage bins when the second-row seats are left in their upright positions. The price-leading Canada Value Package, heads the list of trim levels that also includes SXT, Crew, Crew Plus and the sporty R/T. The Canadian Value Package rings in at $29,700, but usually sells for less than $22K and includes most of the basic fea-tures and safety systems you would expect. At the top end, the $42,600 R/T comes with a tighter suspension. The 2014 30th Anniversary Edition builds on the mid-level SXT and adds 17-inch wheels and chrome trim outside, along with badging, black leather-and-suede seats, piano-black ac-cents and more. There’s also a Blacktop package that includes polished wheels and blacked-out trim.•Base price (incl. destination): $29,700•Type: Four-door minivan•Engine (hp): 3.6-litre DOHC V6 (283)•Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 12.2/7.9•Safety: Front airbags; side-curtain; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control•Weight (kg): 2,050

New Cherokee sports modern sculptingOverview: The Cherokee name returns

following a lengthy hiatus, but it’s dressed up in more contemporary sheetmetal that belies its ability to still navigate difficult on- and off-road terrain.

Drivetrain: A Fiat-based 2.4-litre four-cylinder is supplemented by a 3.2-litre V6 option; standard nine-speed automatic transmission helps reduce fuel consump-tion, while three optional 4x4 systems sup-ply a range of traction needs.

Following the Jeep Liberty’s retirement, Chrysler-Fiat’s off-road division has resur-rected the Cherokee name, but with a sig-nificant shift in direction. Instead of the brick-like original, the Cherokee has some seriously modern sculpting going on. The pinched and pointy-nose grille says plenty about the risk that Jeep’s designers have undertaken in creating the new Cherokee. Then there are the eyelet headlights that would have been impossible to imagine on any production car, Jeep or otherwise. The interior is as modern as the outside. All but the most basic Cherokee models feature 12.7- or 21.3-centimetre touch-screens, de-pending on the trim level, that operate cli-

mate, communications and infotainment systems. Base models get a Fiat-designed 2.4-litre four-cylinder worth 184 horse-power and 171 pound-feet of torque. Op-tional is an all-new 3.2-litre V6 that’s rated at 271 horses. It’s a subset of Chrysler’s 3.6-litre V6 that’s the base engine in the larger Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ram pickup. In the Cherokee’s case, ordering the V6 provides a 2,045-kilogram towing

capacity. Both engines are connected to nine-speed automatic transmissions, which is the first use of that gear changer in any Chrysler product. Front-wheel-drive is the norm, but buyers can choose from three different four-wheel-drive setups, depend-ing on trim level. Active Drive I, optional in the Sport, North and Limited editions, is a single-speed unit that kicks in automatical-ly whenever tire slip is detected. Active

Drive II, also available in North and Limit-ed, comes with a two-speed transfer case and is designed for off-road use with either the four- or six-cylinder engines. But for rock crawling and boulder hopping, Active Drive Lock, locks up the rear differential in low range. This system is standard in the Cherokee Trailhawk, which is a “Trail Rat-ed” rig outfitted with an off-road suspen-sion (increases ride height by an inch), skid plates, unique alloy wheels with all-terrain rubber, blacked-out trim and a full-size spare tire. All 4x4 systems include Selec-Terrain traction control with five different settings to match the kind of ground you’re covering (snow, sand, mud, etc.). •Base price (incl. destination): $25,200•Type: Four-door sport-utility vehicle•Base engine (hp): 2.4-litre DOHC I4 (184) •Opt. engine (hp): 3.2-litre DOHC V6 (271)•Layout: Front-engine, rear- /four-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Nine-speed automatic•L/100 km (city/highway): 9.6/6.4 (2.4 FWD)•Safety: Front airbags; front/rear side-impact airbags; side-curtain; front knee airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control.•Weight (kg): 1,640

2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

Ram 15002014 Ram 1500 2014 Wrangler Unlimited

Overall: Not to be outdone, Ram com-bines best-in-the-business functionality and diversity to all others and does one better by being the first of the bunch to offer a tur-bo-diesel option.

Drivetrain: Chrysler’s 3.6-litre V6 and 5.7-liter “Hemi” V8 is joined by all-new 3.0-litre “EcoDiesel” V6; eight-speed auto-matic transmission and other countermea-sures help Ram reduce fuel consumption to industry leading levels.

The Ram 1500 has always had plenty of attitude, but who knew it could balance that macho-ness with fuel performance? That was partially addressed when Chrysler’s ever-popular 3.6-litre V6 found its way into the engine bay. With 305 horse-power and 11.4 l/100 km in the city and 7.8 on the highway, it is a sweet combina-tion. Its eight-speed automatic transmis-sion also helped and it can now also be at-tached to the 395-horsepower 5.7-litre “Hemi” V8. The big news for 2014 is the optional 3.0-litre “EcoDiesel” V6, which makes the Ram 1500 the only light-duty diesel pickup in North America. Using the same figures as for the Jeep Grand Chero-kee — 240 horsepower and 420 pound feet of torque — with the eight-speed au-tomatic, it can tow 3,270 kilograms, which is the same as the regular gas V6. Rams get

further fuel-reduction with stop-start tech-nology that turns off the engine at rest, then instantly fires it up again once the brake pedal is released. Optional is an air suspension with load leveling and five height settings, one of which lowers the body at highway speeds by 1.5 centimetres to cut the wind better. As for body styles, regular-cab models are available with a six-foot, four-inch box, or an eight-footer, while Quad Cabs get the shorter box only. The larger four-door Ram Crew gets you a 5’7” bed, or the six-foot, four-inch bed option. When it comes to four-wheel-drive, buyers can choose between a part-time system and an on-demand setup that automatically en-gages when road conditions warrant. •Base price (incl. destination): $28,700•Type: Two- /four-door pickup•Base engine (hp): 3.6-litre DOHC V6 (305)•Optional engines (hp): 3.0-litre DOHC V6, turbo-diesel (240); 5.7-liter OHV V8 (395)•Layout: Front-engine, rear- /four-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Eight-speed automatic (3.6, 3.0, opt. on 5.7); six-speed automatic (5.7)•l/100 km (city/highway): 11.4/7.8 (3.6, 4x2)•Safety: Front airbags; impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; trac-tion control; stability control.•Weight (kg): 2,080

WranglerOverall: Jeep’s iconic off-roader adds

more tricks and special editions that are ready to tackle the Rubicon Trail right off the showroom floor.

Drivetrain: The 3.6-litre V6 makes 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque; six-speed manual transmission and op-tional five-speed automatic.

The Wrangler has come a long way from its birth as wartime transport for millions of GIs, but that go-anywhere attitude re-mains its biggest appeal. The legendary off-roader enjoys a hardcore following; people who fearlessly dare to use these rugged rascals the way they’re intended. Of course not everyone goes boulder-hop-ping and canyon-crawling in their Wran-glers (the Jeep, not the Jeans), and the ve-hicle has been slowly and methodically updated to be more friendly to urban com-muters. But do good seats and a modern powertrain hurt the offroad experience? Of course not, so it’s really win-win. But there’s more. The back seat of the four-door Unlimited model as well as the soft top both fold easily using, amazingly, just one hand. Both two- and four-door Wran-glers can be ordered with a premium top that reportedly is easier to clean and its three layers add a degree of noise insula-tion. Unchanged is the Chrysler-designed

285-horsepower V6 that connects to either a six-speed manual transmission or op-tional five-speed automatic. The combo provides for a l/100 km rating of 12.7 city and 9.3 highway. Base Sport, Sahara and Rubicon trim levels continue in Canada for 2014; the first two feature part-time four-wheel-drive with optional limited-slip rear differential. The tough-customer Rubicon uses the Off-Road Rock-Trac unit with its extra-low-range gearing, front/rear-lock-ing differentials for greater agility and 32-inch off-road rubber. •Base price (incl. destination): $24,900; $31,200 (Unlimited)•Type: Two- /four-door sport-utility vehi-cle•Engine (hp): 3.6-litre DOHC V6 (285)•Layout: Front-engine, four-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed manual; five-speed automatic (opt.)•l/100 km (city/highway): 12.7/9.3 (MT)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact air-bags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control.•Weight (kg): 1,750

Mirage goes easy on Mother Nature2014 Mitsubishi Mirage

Overview: It’s lightweight and designed to be light on the wallet while treading lightly on Mother Nature.

Powertrain: The 74-horsepower 1.2-litre three-cylinder doesn’t seem like much, but the Mirage weighs about 250 kilograms less than a Mazda MX-5; five-speed manual transmission or an optional continuously variable unit good for 5.3 l/100 km in the city.

The Mirage is perched low to the ground on tiny 14-inch wheels while the rounded and somewhat stubby front gives the car a cute ap-pearance that belies its wind-cheating drag co-efficient. The interior appointments are sim-ple, yet tasteful, with easy-to-read gauges and controls. The 60:40 split rear seat can be fold-ed down for added stowage, but even when occupied there’s reasonable space for groceries and gear. Of course, contemplating a vehicle this small usually involves compromises and in the Mirage’s case you give up room in return for exemplary fuel economy. The car’s pump-passing nature comes from a 74-horsepower 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine mated to your

choice of a five-speed manual transmission or optional continuously variable unit (CVT). The latter features Idle Neutral Logic, which automatically shifts the transmission into neu-tral when stopped to save fuel, then switches back into drive mode when the go pedal is pushed. Mitsubishi is touting 5.3 l/100 km in the city and 4.4 highway for the CVT. Mitsubi-shi includes a five-year/100,000-kilometre bumper-to-bumper warranty, 10 years/160,000kilometres on the powertrain and five years unlimited roadside assistance.•Base prices (incl. destination): $13,700•Type: Four-door hatchback•Base engine (hp): 1.2-litre DOHC I4 (74)•Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Five-speed manual; continu-ously variable (opt.)•L/100 km (city/highway): 5.9/4.6 (MT); 5.3/4.4 (CVT)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; driver’s knee airbag; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control.•Weight (lb.): 1,860

Take another look at the Outlander2014 Mitsubishi Outlander

Overall: Easy on gas, could this tall wagon find a home in your driveway? Optional three-row seating might help sway you.

Drivetrain: Four-cylinder and V6 options with good fuel economy.

The 2014 Outlander wagon has cleaned up its design both inside and out for 2014. The new model still shares the previous Outland-er’s platform and dimensions, equating to nearly identical space for passengers and car-go. Mitsubishi has upgraded the seats, door panels and dashboard (the latter with soft-touch material) and added more cabin insula-tion for a quieter ride. As well, the split-folding second and third rows have been redesigned to fold more easily. The Outlander has man-aged to shed some 90 kilograms, which should help performance. The standard 2.4-litre four-cylinder produces 166 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. That’s down slightly from before, but with the weight reduction it won’t be noticed. The four-cylinder is standard with the ES, while SE and GT S-AWC trims are fitted with a 3.0-litre V6 that delivers 224

horsepower and 215 pound-feet of torque. The V6 has exclusive use of a six-speed automatic that has been updated for improved fuel econ-omy. On that point, the gains are nothing to sneeze at. The four-cylinder rates 8.2 l/100 km in the city and 6.3 on the highway (down from 9.0/7.0). The V6 improves to 10.1/7.1 from 10.9/7.8. Mitsubishi’s “Super All-Wheel Con-trol” (code for all-wheel drive) can be ordered with four-cylinder Outlanders, but is standard with the V6-equipped SE and GT. •Base price (incl. destination): $27,450•Type: Four-door tall wagon•Base engine (hp): 2.4-litre SOHC I4 (166)•Optional engine (hp): 3.0-litre SOHC V6 (224)•Layout: Front- /all-wheel-drive wagon•Transmissions: Continuously variable; six-speed automatic (V6)•L/100 km (city/highway): 8.2/6.3 (2.4)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; front-knee airbag; trac-tion control; stability control.•Weight (kg): 1,460

Mazda3 continues to set the compact standardOverall: The latest Mazda3 series sets

the pace for all other compact cars with great looks, impressive powertrains and a comfy cabins.

Drivetrain: The thrifty 155-horsepower 2.0-litre “SkyActiv” engine is augmented by an optional 184-horse 2.5-litre four-cyl-inder version; no sign of the top perform-ing Mazdaspeed3 . . . yet.

Mazda’s redesigned sedan and hatchback models now emulate the mid-size Mazda6 sedan and the CX-5 wagon, which means they no longer wear Cheshire-cat grins af-fixed to their snouts. Instead, both have ad-opted Mazda’s latest Kodo (Japanese for “Soul of Motion”) design approach that in-cludes an attractive, but less gimmicky grille. The rest of the sedan and hatch-back’s bodywork is equally tasty from any vantage point. Like its Mazda6 and CX-5 brand mates, the Mazda3 benefits greatly from the SkyActiv suite of structural and powertrain enhancements. The former in-cludes a stiffer platform and finely tuned suspension and steering components geared sports-car-like precision. But the real show stoppers are the powerplants.

The base engine is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder that makes 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. Optional is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder with 184 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. Both are available with six-speed manual transmissions, while six-speed automatics are optional. Interestingly, both engines are closely matched in fuel consumption, with the nod going to the 2.0’s official rating, with the

automatic transmission, of 6.7 l/100 km in the city and 4.7 on the highway. The 2.5 rings up 7.5/5.4, but both numbers im-prove to 7.1/5.0 with the optional “i-ELOOP” capacitor that stores electricity generated under braking. The system pro-vides power for the 3’s various electrical components for extended periods while disengaging the alternator, which reduces drag on the engine. The driver is unaware

that i-Eloop is operating. Mazda3 prices start at $17,700 for the base GX sedan that includes the usual power-operated accesso-ries plus push-button start. The base GX Sport hatchback starts at $18,700. Both body styles are also available in GS and GT trim, the latter fitted with enough standard and available comfort and safety content to rival many luxury vehicles. Regardless of your choice, the new Mazda3 is an impres-sive piece of work that will be appreciated by those who really enjoy driving some-thing sporty, but without the space limita-tions that traditional sports cars impose.•Base price (incl. destination): $17,700•Type: Four-door, front-wheel-drive compact sedan and hatchback wagon•Base engine (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC I4 (155)•Opt. engines (hp): 2.5-litre DOHC I4 (184)•Layout: Front engine, front-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed manual; six-speed automatic (opt.) •L/100 km (city/highway): 6.7/4.7 (2.0, AT)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags (opt.); anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control•Weight (lb.): 1,270

2014 Mazda3

Mazda62014 Mazda6 2014 CX-5

Overview: One of the best driving sedans on the market while pulling down great fu-el economy.

Drivetrain: A new direct-fuel-injection 2.5-litre four-cylinder replaces the previous four- and six-cylinder engines; a 173-horse-power 2.2-litre turbo-diesel option arrives part way into the 2014 model year.

Always the rebel, Mazda refuses to offer a hybrid powertrain option. Instead, it pur-sues internal-combustion-engine refine-ment under the SKYACTIV label. From most angles, the Mazda6 is more expressive than the previous car and closely resembles Mazda’s Shinari and Takeri concept cars that revealed a new styling direction. The distance between the front and rear wheels has been increased by about five centime-tres for extra passenger room, while overall length has been reduced by about the same amount. The base engine is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder that makes 184 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. The uniqueness of the new four-cylinder is its higher-than-usual 13:1 compression ratio that gives the engine much of its extra punch. In addition, its specialized components, including the pistons and direct fuel-injection system, means it can run on regular-grade fuel. Transmission choices for both include a six-speed manual that uses a MX-5 Miata-in-

spired short-throw shifter, or the optional six-speed automatic. The base GX model that lists for $26,200, including destination charges, comes with the usual power and comfort ingredients and push-button start. It also comes with a touch-screen display with Bluetooth networking and a rearview camera. The mid-level GS increases the content level with dual-zone climate con-trol, power driver’s seat and a power moon-roof, while the GT bulks up with standard navigation, premium Bose-brand sound system and 19-inch wheels. Among the more interesting options is Mazda’s Intelli-gent Energy Loop (i-ELOOP). The system’s compact capacitor stores energy from the alternator, then feeds it directly to the car’s numerous electrical components. •Base price (incl. destination): $26,200•Type: Four-door sedan•Base engine (hp): 2.5-litre DOHC I4 (184)•Optional engine (hp): 2.2-litre DOHC I4, turbo-diesel (173)•Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed manual; six-speed automatic (opt.)•L/100 km (city/highway): 7.6/5.1 (AT)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; trac-tion control; stability control.•Weight (lb.): 1,440

CX-5Overall: Mazda has the smile-inducing-

fun-and-fuel-sipping part down in its CX-5; new engine adds power with no fuel penalty.

Drivetrain: Base 2.0-litre 155-horsepow-er SkyActiv four-cylinder joined by larger, more potent 2.5-litre with 185 horsepower.

Mazda’s divorce several years ago from Ford was probably the best thing for both partners, really. Rather than sharing their next-generation CUV as had been done for a decade, they’re now competitors. The at-tractively designed five-passenger CX-5’s mechanical bits are promoted under the “Skyactiv” name that made its initial ap-pearance with the 2012 Mazda3. SkyActiv represents a holistic transformation of the powertrain plus various other components that help save fuel in addition to making Mazdas better driving machines. From a chassis and suspension perspective, the au-tomaker’s engineers have attempted to in-fuse the vehicle with as much MX-5 Miata-type sporty behaviour as possible, com-bined with highly efficient engines and transmissions. The base powerplant is a high-compression 2.0-litre four-cylinder that, due to its unique design, runs on low-grade 87-octane fuel. Output is rated at 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. Mazda has added an optional 2.5-litre four-cylinder for 2014. It has 185 horses and 185

pound-feet of torque and doesn’t penalize much at the pump either. Both engines are available in front or all-wheel-drive, but the 2.0 is the only engine that can be had with a manual transmission. The base GX in-cludes the 2.0 and the usual air condition-ing and power-operated items, along with cruise control and push-button start. Head up the line and you’ll find the GS and GT models, both equipped with the 2.5. The top-end GT comes with a nine-speaker Bose-brand audio system, 19-inch wheels, standard all-wheel-drive, dual-zone climate control and leather seats. New for the 2014 model year is active smart braking technol-ogy that can see stopped cars in front and slow you down before a collision.•Base price (incl. destination): $24,900•Type: Four-door CUV•Engine (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC I4 (155)•Optional Engine: 2.5-litre DOHC I4 (185)•Layout: Front-engine, front- /all-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed manual; six-speed automatic •l/100 km (city/highway): 7.8/5.7 (FWD, MT); 8.3/6.2 (2.5, FWD, AT)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; anti-lock brakes; stability control; traction control•Weight (kg): 1,460

Ford Fusion remains a perfect mix of economy and beautyOverall: With nary a six-cylinder

engine in sight, the Fusion remains one of the best-looking sedans.

Drivetrain: A 170-horsepower four-cylinder plus two optional tur-bocharged four-cylinders worth 179 and 237 horsepower; two ver-sions of gasoline-electric hybrids.

Talk about contrasts. The previ-ous Fusion was a smart choice, but the current version adds a certain star power to draw in a much broader range of buyers. The pos-ture of the overly upright-and-blunt nose takes some getting used to, but the overall shape with the sloped roofline is gorgeous. During the redesign, the Fusion aban-doned its V6 options, but now there

are six distinctive engine picks, in-cluding two gasoline-electric hy-brid systems. It all begins with a 170-horsepower 2.5-litre four-cylin-der engine, topping out with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder “EcoBoost” engine with 237 horse-power. The latter is optional but a requirement for all-wheel-drive Fu-sions. In between is a 1.6-litre Eco-Boost that carries over for 2014, but joining the lineup is an all-new 1.5-litre EcoBoost. Both produce an identical 179 horsepower, but the big difference is that the 1.6 will now only be offered with a six-speed manual transmission while the 1.5 picks up the slack with a six-speed automatic. The 1.5 is billed

as the thriftiest of the three Eco-Boost options thanks to auto start-stop technology, but in terms of fuel savings, the Hybrid and Fusion En-ergi plug-in hybrid are really where it’s at. Available communications and safety content includes lane-

monitoring system, adaptive cruise control, parking-spot assist and blind spot and cross-traffic alerts, while inflatable belts in the rear seats are optional for 2014.•Base price: $24,100 (2013)•Type: Four-door mid-size sedan

•Base Engine (hp): 2.5-litre DOHC I6 (170)•Optional engines (hp): 1.6-litre DOHC I4, turbocharged (179); 2.0-litre DOHC I4, turbocharged (237); 2.0-litre I4 with AC electric motor (188, net) •Layout: Front-engine, front- /all-wheel-drive •Transmissions: Six-speed manual; six-speed automatic (opt.); contin-uously variable (Hybrid)•l/100 km (city/highway): 9.2/5.8 (2.4, MT)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; front knee airbags; anti-lock brakes; trac-tion control; stability control•Weight (kg): 1,490

Ford Escape F-150 F-Series Super Duty

2014 Ford Fusion

Overall: Lovely to look at and just as lovely to drive, in on-ly two short years the latest Ford Escape is now a ubiquitous sight.

Drivetrain: Plenty of engine choices, all of the four-cylin-der variety in the name of fuel economy.

The sleeker second-generation’s radically different sheet-metal is just one reason why the Escape is more popular than ever. Its slightly larger dimensions mean greater rear-seat room plus slightly more passenger and cargo volume with the rear seat in place or folded flat. The interior is invit-ing, with an attractively segmented gauge/control panel with asymmetric air vents. The floor shifter’s position at the base of the dashboard makes the area designated for cup-holders and armrest/storage more accessible. The up-level Titanium model features well-bolstered front seats that are a major advancement over that of earlier Escapes. The base front-wheel-drive S model runs with a 168-horsepower 2.5-litre four-cylinder, while the front- and all-wheel-drive SE designation uses a 178-horsepower 1.6-litre turbo-charged EcoBoost four-cylinder. A 237-horsepower turbo four-cylinder is standard on the SEL and Titanium trims. A new “Intelligent” all-wheel-drive system can be ordered with the turbocharged models. It continually assesses road conditions and driver inputs “about 20 times faster than the blink of an eye” and can shift up to 100 per cent of the avail-able power to either the front or rear wheels for maximum grip. The Escape is the first Ford to offer both Torque Vector-ing Control and Curve Control to help distribute the correct amount of power to each wheel when cornering so that the vehicle maintains its intended path. The new-tech gear ex-tends to the option sheet, but the most unique option is the power lifgate that automatically opens and closes when you shake your foot beneath the bumper. •Base price (incl. destination): $26,300•Type: Four-door compact tall wagon•Base Engine (hp): 2.5-litre DOHC I4 (168)•Optional engines (hp): 1.6-litre DOHC I4, turbocharged (173); 2.0-litre DOHC I4, turbocharged (237)•Layout: Front-engine, front- /four-wheel-drive •Transmission: Six-speed automatic •l/100 km (city/highway): 9.5/6.3 (2.5, FWD)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain air-bags; anti-lock brakes; stability control; traction control•Weight (kg): 1,590

Overall: With a new F-150 coming next year, the 2014 ver-sion makes the most of a few well-deserved tweaks; new Tremor is a twin-turbocharged sport truck that brings back memories of the long-gone SVT Lightning.

Drivetrain: The F-150 borrows the 3.7-litre V6 and 5.0-litre V8 from the Mustang, along with a turbocharged 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 from the Flex/Taurus SHO; the 6.2-litre V8 from the off-road SVT Raptor can be had in upscale mod-els.

The segment-first high-intensity-discharge headlights that debuted on the Limited model for 2013 are now standard on every trim level, except the base models, while power-tele-scoping/folding towing mirrors inspired by the Super Duty are available too. All models get their own trim-specific grilles, bumpers and wheel designs; other changes for 2014 include a new grille for the FX package and chrome wheels for XLT and STX. Those wishing for a return of the SVT Light-ning sport truck can now have the next best thing: the 2014 Tremor. It’s regular-cab short-box sport-truck powered by the 3.5-litre “EcoBoost” turbocharged V6. It uses flat-black ac-cents outside, 20-inch wheels with low-profile tires and a steep rear-end gear for the best possible acceleration. At the other end of the spectrum, the Limited is available only as a SuperCrew four-door cab, the body-colour moldings, bright-work and 22-inch wheels are set off by an interior with heat-ed and cooled red-and-black leather seats, aluminum trim and piano black accents that complement the new MyFord Touch screen on the dash. The Limited is exclusively powered by the popular 3.5-litre EcoBoost twin-turbocharged V6 with 365 horsepower. Those wanting traditional V8 power are spoiled, too, with 5.0-litre or 6.2-litre options readily avail-able in most other trims. The sheer number of F-150 combi-nations is mind-boggling. •Base price (incl. dest.): $21,600; $57,600 (Raptor)(2013)•Type: Two- /four-door pickup•Base Engine (hp): 3.7-litre DOHC V6 (302)•Optional engines (hp): 3.5-litre DOHC V6, turbocharged (365); 5.0-litre DOHC V8 (360), 6.2-litre SOHC V8 (411)•Layout: Front-engine, rear- /four-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 12.7/8.9 (3.7, 4x2)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain air-bags with rollover protection; anti-lock brakes; stability control•Weight (kg): 2,125

Overall: Ford’s Super Duty is the best-selling HD truck, but that doesn’t mean it’ll stand pat during a quiet year.

Drivetrain: Powerplants consist of a 6.2-litre gas V8 and 6.7-litre turbo-diesel that produces 800 pound-feet of torque; six-speed automatic transmissions connect to both.

Not content with having the most powerful and probably the most capable heavy-duty pickup around, Ford has worked some more magic to keep the stat-creep war with its rivals going strong. Every Super Duty gets larger brakes for the 2014 model year that are more effective at shedding heat. That means payload capacity is up to 3,290 kilograms while the conventional towing capacity tops out at 8,390 kilograms, which it claims is class-leading. Ford also aims its Super Duty trucks toward the higher end of the market. A fully loaded GMC Sierra HD 3500 with the Denali package starts just south of $50,000 and climbs higher quickly. Ford’s reply was to add a Platinum trim to the SD line with unique styling, dif-ferent 20-inch wheels, chrome everywhere, while inside fea-tures wood trim and high-grain leather cover nearly every surface. Niceties include standard power-adjustable pedals, a rear-view camera, remote start and power telescoping mir-rors. The Platinum also gets Ford’s SD-specific version of My-Ford Touch, which has larger buttons and knobs for second-ary controls that can easily be used with work gloves on. Oth-erwise, the standard 6.2-litre gasoline V8 that rules the roost with 385 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque remains unchanged. Optional is a 6.7-litre V8 turbo-diesel that gener-ates a flat 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque. The engine can run B20 fuel, which contains 80 per cent petro-leum diesel mixed with 20 per cent bio-diesel. Both power-plants are connected to six-speed automatic transmissions. For turbo-diesel applications, there’s an available “Live Drive” power take off (PTO) unit, consisting of an extra transmission output gear that can control accessories such as a snow plow, tow-truck lift or even a dump-truck-style box•Base price (incl. destination): $37,100 (2013)•Type: Two- /four-door heavy-duty pickup•Base Engine (hp): 6.2-litre SOHC V8 (385)•Optional engine (hp): 6.7-litre OHV V8, turbo-diesel (400)•Layout: Front-engine, rear- /four-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): n/a•Safety: Front airbags; anti-lock brakes•Weight (kg): 2,670

Seven-passenger Acura MDX boosts fuel efficiencyOverview: Lighter, stronger, quicker and

more fuel-efficient? How did Acura do it?Drivetrain: 290-horsepower 3.5-litre V6

replaces the 300-horsepower 3.7; Fuel economy is close to 20 percent better on the highway.

This premium-grade seven-passenger wagon shares nothing with its predecessor and also breaks new ground in content, technology and fuel efficiency. Of course the shape and shield-type grille are give-aways as to the MDX’s origins. But a lower roofline, a eight-centimetre stretch be-tween the front and rear wheels and a five-centimeter gain in overall length makes it appear larger than the tape measure sug-gests. The new MDX conveys a stronger sense of luxury, especially with its “Jewel Eye” headlights that have become the sig-nature styling item for the Acura brand. Al-though cargo volume has been slightly re-duced, functionality has improved with added length behind the third-row seat. There’s also a flatter load floor when both

rear rows are folded. Button clutter on the redesigned dashboard and control panel is reduced to nine from 41 as the rest are now incorporated into a console-mounted dial plus a touch-screen display for the audio, communications and climate-control sys-tems. The previous MDX featured a firmed-

up ride and sporty steering, but customer feedback showed that that’s not the priori-ty. The 2014 model goes the other way, with a more supple ride and lighter steer-ing. The MDX drives like an upscale wagon should, but is in no way bouncy or sloppy over rough surfaces. Acura claims the more

aerodynamic body structure weighs about 55 kilograms less and, combined with oth-er measures, contributes to a total 125-ki-logram weight trimming (for comparison, the Audi Q7 is heavier by about 450 kilo-grams). A 290-horsepower 3.5-litre V6 re-places the 300-horsepower 3.7. Smaller, yes, but no one will be the wiser since the 3.5’s torque rating is within three pound-feet (267 at 4,500 r.p.m. versus 270 at 5,000 r.p.m.) of the 3.7. It’s also more fuel efficient, with ratings of 7.7 l/100 km on the highway and 11.2 in the city, bettering the previous 13.2/9.6. •Base price (incl. destination): $51,900•Type: Four-door sport utility vehicle•Engine (hp): 3.5-litre SOHC V6 (290)•Layout: Front-engine, all-wheel-drive•Transmission: Six-speed automatic •l/100 km (city/highway): 11.2/7.7•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact air-bags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control.•Weight (kg): 1,940

2014 Acura MDX

Acura ILX2014 Acura ILX

Overall: If Honda built a luxury version of its Civic sedan, the ILX is what it would look like.

Drivetrain: Two four-cylinder engines to choose from as well as a gas-electric hybrid; front-wheel-drive only.

If luxury is what the coming-of-age Gen-eration Y gang yearns for, then Acura is on-ly too happy to deliver. The ILX has the look and feel of upscale-ness, but shouldn’t cost a fortune as long as its youthful purchasers resist the lure of the options list. Although loosely based on the current Civic platform, the ILX has little in common with the Hon-da. From the front and side, the car’s high style is much evidence. However the short, rounded rear deck looks out of place with the rest of the design and results in a trunk of only modest proportions. At least the folding the back seat can extend the avail-able stowage space. On the other hand, the interior has a first-class quality to it, espe-cially the well designed dashboard, control panel and useful multi-information display that among other data provides average speed, fuel consumption and oil life info. Base iterations arrive with a 150-horsepow-er 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that oper-ates through a five-speed automatic trans-mission. For performance-minded millen-nials there’s the optional 201-horsepower 2.4-litre four-cylinder that uses a six-speed manual gearbox (both purloined from the

Honda Civic Si) to keep the front wheels turning. At the socially conscious end of the lineup, the Hybrid combines its 1.5-litre four-cylinder with an electric motor to gen-erate 111 net horsepower. All models in-clude a power moonroof, keyless push-but-ton start, rear-view camera and an audio system with an interface for subscription-based Internet music. New standard equip-ment includes 17-inch alloy wheels (for-merly 16’s), a multi-angle rearview camera and high-intensity-discharge headlights. The available Premium Package includes a power-adjustable driver’s seat, leather cov-ered seats (heated in front), while the Tech-nology package adds a 365-watt ELS-brand stereo and a voice-controlled navigation system.•Base price (incl. destination): $29,900•Type: Four-door compact sedan•Base Engine (hp): 2.0-litre SOHC I4 (150)•Optional engines (hp): 2.4-litre DOHC I4 (200); 1.5-litre SOHC I4 with electric motor (111, net)•Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive•Transmission: Five-speed automatic (2.0); six-speed manual (2.4); continuously vari-able (Hybrid)•l/100 km (city/highway): 8.6/5.6•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; trac-tion control; stability control.•Weight (kg): 1,330

Acura RDXOverall: Acura’s modestly sized five-pas-

senger companion to the MDX wagon was new for 2013 and returns virtually unal-tered for 2014.

Drivetrain: A 273-horsepower V6 is the standard powerplant; six-speed automatic transmission takes care of the gear-chang-ing duties.

The RDX gives a good accounting of itself despite the range of competitors it must fend off. The significant physical adjust-ments that were introduced for the 2013 model year were simply the overture to the sweet sounds of a 3.5-litre V6 that replaced the turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder. The V6 puts out 273 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque, compared to 240 horses and 260 pound-feet of torque for the 2.3. More importantly, fuel consumption has been cut in the process. A six-speed au-tomatic transmission also helps improve the l/100-km rating, but so do other fuel-conserving innovations, including the use of low-viscosity engine and transmission oil, a special friction-reducing coating on the pistons and Variable Cylinder Manage-ment that allows the engine to operate with two or three of its six cylinders shut down under light-load conditions. Above and be-yond its powertrain efficiencies, the RDX features wind-cheating aerodynamics, fuel-saving electric power steering and fuel pump, and low rolling resistance tires. The

RDX no longer employs Acura’s very effec-tive Super Handling All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). However, the replacement system, called AWD with Intelligent Control, has its own merits, sending 25 per cent of the available torque to the rear wheels when accelerating from a stop, up to 100 percent to the front wheels at a steady speed and splitting the torque 50:50 when heading up a 15-percent (or greater) slope. It can’t send extra torque to the outside turning wheels like the SH-AWD could, but that’s at least partially offset by electronic power-steering and traction-control systems that reduce front- or rear-end plowing while turning. The RDX follows Acura’s tradition-al formula of offering plenty of luxury con-tent, including a power moonroof, leather-covered interior, power-adjustable front seats and a 360-watt audio system. An op-tional Tech Package adds a navigation /rearview camera combo, and a premium ELS-brand 10-speaker sound system.•Base price (incl. destination): $43,100•Type: Four-door compact tall wagon•Engine (hp): 3.5-litre DOHC V6 (273)•Layout: Front-engine, all-wheel-drive•Transmission: Six-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 10.7/7.3•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; trac-tion control; stability control•Weight (kg): 1,750

MKC Concept a vision for the future of small luxury utility Creating ‘Lincoln Experiences:

Lincoln is being reinvented in every way — from a complete new lineup of stunningly designed vehicles to the level of personal client service provided by dealerships and how drivers engage with their vehicles. The goal is to appeal to ‘cultural progressives,’ a new type of luxury clients who are open to new ideas and experiences.

This is the rationale behind the new MKC which will begin selling in the second quarter of 2014. The MKC brings Lincoln into the indus-try’s fastest growing small luxury utility market.

Exterior design: The MKC Con-cept builds on the foundation of the

Lincoln Design DNA found in the new MKZ. These warm, open and inviting design cues are core ele-ments of the brand’s heritage. “The MKC Concept has a wonderful stance and sits beautifully on its wheels,” said Murat Gueler, MKC Concept lead exterior designer.

An uninterrupted, highly crafted rear-view appearance highlights the signature full-width taillamps. This is made possible by a liftgate design with a side-view cutline — a Lincoln first.

The continuity also is apparent in the execution of the frameless win-dows, which amplify the richness of the design, as does the signature split-wing grille. The exterior is

augmented by warm, cream-based white metallic tri-coat paint, 20-inch premium wheels and a large fixed panoramic roof that runs the length of the vehicle.

Interior design: High-end be-spoke design, materials and execu-

tion inspire the four-passenger inte-rior. Just like MKZ, the MKC Con-cept features a distinct push-button gear shift selector. This enables a flowing, expressive and architec-tural centre console design covered with riveting details, and unique

colours and materials.The headliner is wrapped with

high-end material, providing a warm and luxurious feel. The pil-lars are wrapped with premium leather. The seats also feature pre-mium leather. Other refined details include finishes like appliqués cut from layers of reconstructed natu-ral wood infused with a metallic flake for a glistening effect on the steering wheel, upper instrument panel and door panels.

A true Lincoln: The Lincoln MKC Concept is designed to strike a per-fect balance between warm, invit-ing comfort and the engaging and superb dynamic qualities of perfor-mance, ride, handling and braking.

MKS MKX MKZ

2014 Lincoln MKC Concept

Overall: After visual and mechanical changes to bring the full-size MKS sedan in line with other new Lincolns, there are very few changes on hand for 2014.

Drivetrain: Base 3.7-litre V6 pushes past 300 horsepower and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, while a 365-horsepower turbocharged EcoBoost V6 makes for effort-less highway passing.

Lincoln hasn’t had many major design themes in the last 20 years or so, but when the all-new MKZ sedan debuted in 2013 with its dramatic face, roofline and rear end, it was obvious that the carryover products needed to follow suit. That’s why the MKS received the flying-bird-shaped front grille and cor-responding fascia, along with high-intensity-discharge (HID) headlights. The back of the car received a revised deck lid, bumper and brighter LED taillights. All models use 19- or op-tional 20-inch wheels. The interior appointments hammer home the luxury but in a subtle way that also departs from Lincoln tradition. The dashboard incorporates an instrument panel with screens integrating the MyLincoln Touch system and Lincoln-Sync, a voice-activated system for controlling en-tertainment and communications devices. All MKS models get Lincoln Drive Control, a system that can alter the suspen-sion settings, steering effort, shift feel and more from the cab-in, and it also uses continuously controlled damping to adjust the suspension up to 20 times a second for a smoother ride. Lincoln endows the MKS with a wealth of comfort, conve-nience and techno-focused items, keeping the options list to a minimum. On the menu is radar-based adaptive cruise con-trol, and a heat-sensing LED keypad that unlocks the vehicle from the outside. Lincoln offers blind-spot warning and cross-traffic alert. These features are in addition to climate control, rain-sensing wipers, rearview camera, front and rear proxim-ity sensors, heated front and rear leather seats with power ad-justment and a dual-panel moonroof.•Base price (incl. destination): $49,300•Type: Four-door sedan•Base Engine (hp): 3.7-litre DOHC V6 (304)•Optional engine (hp): 3.5-litre DOHC V6 (365)•Layout: Front-engine, all-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 11.6/7.5•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain air-bags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control•Weight (kg): 1,870

Overall: As the Lincoln MKX grows its foothold in the SUV category. The bold version of the winged grille reminds us of the cool original patterned after the 1961 Lincoln Con-tinental.

Drivetrain: A 305-horsepower V6 is all you need, says Lin-coln; six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift controls, and all-wheel-drive.

Ford recently spun its Lincoln division into a separate cate-gory, which means that the era of Ford-based products sport-ing slightly different noses and added accessories will be come to an end. In the meantime there are vehicles like the Ford Edge-based Lincoln MKX. Lincoln’s engineers have worked to reduce outside noises from invading the MKX’s cabin by using better-quality acoustic materials, a sound-ab-sorbing headliner, thicker windshield glass and “baked-on” foam baffles in the fenders and door pillars. On-road capabil-ity was upgraded with bigger brakes, retuned shock absorb-ers and stabilizer bars that are designed to produce flatter cornering. Standard equipment includes trailer sway control and Hill Start Assist. A 305-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 is the sole engine while a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle controls handles the shifting chores. All-wheel-drive is standard. Inside, most of the MKX’s traditional switchgear are part of the “MyLincoln Touch technology” screen. This standard system has two programmable 10.5-centimetre touch-screens on either side of the speedometer; and a 20-centimetre unit located in the centre stack. A game-con-troller-style “smart” button on the steering wheel operates the climate, communications, navigation, infotainment and other vehicle functions in a somewhat intuitively designed fashion. To help out, MyLincoln has colour-coded touch-sen-sitive controls of a type currently used in cell phones and TV remotes. There are also touch-based slider-type controls for the audio volume and ventilation fan speed.•Base price (incl. destination): $49,000 (2013)•Type: Four-door sport-utility vehicle•Base Engine (hp): 3.7-litre DOHC V6 (305)•Layout: Front-engine, all-wheel-drive•Transmission: Six-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 12.1/8.7•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain air-bags with rollover protection; anti-lock brakes; stability con-trol with anti-rollover software•Weight (kg): 2,010

Overall: It’s hard to imagine the modern MKZ ever looked old fashioned; Lincoln’s head-turning design is a winner.

Drivetrain: Ecoboost turbocharged four-cylinder and op-tional 300-horsepower V6 available; Ford-Fusion-based hy-brid delivers class-leading fuel performance.

When Lincoln dropped the sheet on the production version of its new MKZ, there were plenty who wondered if they had left the concept up there instead. On sale in model year 2013, the signature “waterfall” grille was replaced by a series of horizontal bars. But for real design drama you can’t beat the sweep of the roofline that flows well past the rear-most roof pillar, almost to the trailing edge of the body. The car’s mas-sive windshield and rear window glass, including the option-al retractable panoramic sunroof, makes it doubtful passen-ger claustrophobia will pose a problem. Inside is an ultra-so-phisticated leather-covered and wood-trimmed interior plus a floor console extending seamlessly almost the full length of the cabin. In the suspension department, continuously ad-justable shock damping, power-assisted electric steering, vari-able transmission-shift-mapping plus traction and stability control all combine to form Lincoln Drive Control. The result, says Lincoln, is improved ride and handling in Normal, Sport, or Comfort modes, as selected by the driver. A push-button gear selector next to the gauges replaces the traditional floor shifter. Powerplant choices consist of a 240-horsepower 2.0-litre four-cylinder EcoBoost (turbocharged) four-cylinder. Optional is a 300-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 that Ford installs in vehicles as diverse as the Mustang two-door and F-150 pick-up. MKZ returns in an available gasoline-electric Hybrid model that’s fitted with a 141-horsepower 2.0-litre four-cylin-der combined with an electric motor.•Base price (incl. destination): $39,600•Type: Four-door, front- /all-wheel-drive sedan•Base Engine (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC I4, turbocharged (240)•Optional engine (hp): 3.7-litre DOHC V6, (300); 2.0-litre DOHC I4 with a 47-horsepower electric motor (200 com-bined, hybrid)•Layout: Front-engine, front- /all-wheel-drive •Transmissions: Six-speed automatic; continuously variable (Hybrid)•l/100 km (city/highway): 9.2/5.9 (2.0)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain air-bags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control•Weight (kg): 1,775

VolVoS60 — Already one of the beauties in its class, Volvo isn’t letting up on the mid-sized S60 luxury sedan. The 2014 model year sees all the bits forward of the A-pillar re-placed, including the fenders and hood, a sharper grille and different headlights with LED running lights. Every model also gets new wheel designs ranging from 17-19 inches in diameter, depending on trims. The cabin sees a new instrument cluster, new cloth-and-metal trim, and an illuminated shift-knob. Un-der the new hood is the same en-gine choices as before, meaning a turbocharged 2.5-litre five-cylinder with 250 horsepower in front-wheel-drive models, and a 300-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-six in all-wheel-drive versions. Every S60 gets a six-speed automatic transmission, in-cluding the AWD R-Design. With a goosed-up T6 engine rated at 325 horsepower, it can hit 100 km-h from a standing start in less than six seconds. This model comes with lots of sport-sedan goodies, from more supportive seats and unique wheels to a lowered ride height and firmer suspension. The T5 is as-signed a “Touring” chassis and the T6 AWD gets a “Dynamic” setup for more spirited driving. Base price (incl. destination): $40,850l/100 km (city/highway): 9.9/6.5 (T5)

S80 — The Sweden-based auto-maker unveiled a large-sedan con-cept that will likely take the current S80’s place, but we’re still waiting on word for when that will take place. Meanwhile the S80 gets a decent freshening, including a new grille flanked by revised headlights with LED running lights, plus new bumpers front and rear, LED tail-lights and new standard wheels at every trim level. Its two-engine lineup continues unchanged: the base engine is a transversely mounted 240-horsepower 3.2-litre inline six-cylinder in the front-wheel-drive S80 3.2. More thrust is readily available from the optional turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder -- based on the 3.2 -- that cranks out 300 horsepower in the T6 AWD. Since this is a Volvo, there’s no shortage of crash protec-tion including a pedestrian-protec-tion system to reduce injury in the event of an impact, and a collision-warning system that will take over the brakes if you’re too slow or in-capable of acting to prevent an im-pact. Base price (incl. destination): $49,400l/100 km (city/highway): 10.5/6.8 (3.2)

XC60 — Volvo’s slick European de-sign has always been the XC60’s hallmark and was the first to stick in the minds of shoppers where practicality isn’t an absolute priori-ty. Like the rest of the company’s lineup, it’s getting a substantial

freshening. All the sheetmetal and details forward of the A-pillars is new, along with revised headlights and the ubiquitous LED running lights. The back end features new integrated exhaust pipes, skid plates and different wheel styles on every trim level. For the 2014 mod-el year, the base XC60 carries on with a 240-horse 3.2-litre inline six-cylinder driving the front wheels. All-wheel-drive is an option, but it’s standard when you step up to T6 and its 300-horsepower 3.0-litre turbocharged engine. The R-Design model boasts a 325-horsepower version of the 3.0 and includes sharper steering and suspension settings plus 20-inch wheels. Of course there’s a high level of stan-dard equipment, such as dual-zone climate control, along with a re-vised instrument cluster and new steering wheel, cloth-covered pil-lars, and revised shiny trim bits throughout. Base price (incl. destination): $41,100l/100 km (city/highway): 11.2/7.8 (FWD)

XC70 — Seeing as the XC70 is the closest thing you’ll find to a tradi-tional Volvo, it’s no real surprise that it stuck around. However it gives buyers a choice of the mod-ern-era XC60 tall wagon, or an XC70 “square back” that’s reminis-cent of those brick-like Volvos of old. In the case of the XC70, the de-sired off-roader effect is achieved by bolting on front and rear skid plates to protect the radiator and running gear from damage, and by hiking up the suspension for an ex-tra few centimetres of ground clearance. Also like the XC60, the XC70 gets all-new exterior pieces, including front fenders, headlights and LED running lights, grilles and bumpers and redesigned alloy wheels. The base 240-horsepower 3.2-litre six-cylinder is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift mode. The on-ly optional engine is the 300-horse-power turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder. All-wheel-drive is stan-dard across the line. Base price (incl. destination): $44,550l/100 km (city/highway): 11.4/7.8 (3.2)

land RoVeREvoque — Who would have thought that stodgy old Land Rover would be the one to sell a small SUV that looks like it rolled straight off the auto-show stage? With steeply raked windshields and ta-

pered rooflines, they’re some of the slinkiest, wind-cheating-est rigs around. Even so, with the vehicle’s minimal front and rear overhang and ample ground clearance, chances are it won’t get hung-up over uneven terrain or stuck in some muddy bog. Beyond being tough and good looking is the Evoque’s impressive fuel economy, which will be aided even more by the addition of a nine-speed auto-matic transmission that replaces the old six-speed. The 240-horse-power 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine was previously rat-ed at 10.9 l/100 km in the city and 6.9 highway with the six-speed, which made it a relative gas miser compared to other Land Rover models. Both acceleration and con-sumption are aided by significant weight-reducing measures that in-clude the use of plastic front fend-ers and rear liftgate, aluminum hood and roof panels plus various lightweight suspension compo-nents.Base price (incl. destination): $48,500 (four-door); $49,200 (Coupe)l/100 km (city/highway): 10.9/6.9 (2013)

LR4 — The LR4 is the most tradi-tional thing Land Rover has going on. Boxy and upright, it still man-ages to look modern. New head-lights, a two-bar grille and the ex-pected LED running lights are the biggest changes outside. For a price a bit north of 60 grand, the LR4 re-mains luxurious and capable enough to hold its own against an increasing number of similarly priced competitors. Available as a five- or seven-seater, the asymmet-ric rear window continues to set this model apart from the pack. The sumptuous cabin provides a commanding view. Several features are designed to bring out the LR4’s luxurious side, including a stan-dard rear-view camera and a sur-round-camera system that allows drivers to see every angle of their ride. The 375-horsepower 5.0-litre V8 and six-speed automatic trans-mission have been replaced with a new 340-horsepower supercharged 3.0-litre V6 and eight-speed auto. The new combination is shared with other Land Rover members. The Terrain Response system is still the best in the business. A console-mounted control knob can be set for general driving, grass/gravel/snow, mud and ruts or rock crawl-ing. A new single-speed transfer case is available, but those wanting serious off-road ability can order a

two-speed case in a Heavy Duty package. Base price (incl. destination): $60,000 (est.)l/100 km (city/highway): 12.5/9.0 (est.)

Range Rover Sport (New for 2014!) — This time around, the Sport shares an all-aluminum plat-form with the Range Rover rather than the bulky steel one under the LR4. In the process, it loses more than 350 kilograms over the previ-ous generation. The distance be-tween the front and rear wheels has been stretched by 17.5 centime-tres, which aims to provide signifi-cantly more space inside the cabin, while overall length is up by seven centimetres. Its more athletic fast-back body, wide stance and rubber-band tires give the impression of a vehicle designed to never explore the rough stuff, but the Sport is more than capable of handling most anything you can throw at it. Under the reshaped hood you have a choice of two engine options: the base 3.0-litre supercharged V6 has 340 horsepower. The optional su-percharged 5.0-litre V8, which is standard in the Supercharged and Autobiography series, now produc-es 550 horsepower instead of 510. Both use eight-speed automatic transmissions. For your base $75,500 entry fee, including desti-nation charges, the SE includes a rather lengthy list of features and just about everything from Land Rover’s bag of off-road tricks. The HSE gets a few extras such as big-ger wheels, perforated-leather seats and an upgraded 900-watt Meridian-brand audio system. Base price (incl. destination): $75,500l/100 km (city/highway): 13.5/10.2 (est.)

JaguaRF-Type (New for 2014!) — Four decades following the launch of Jaguar’s iconic E-Type sports car, Jaguar is introducing a brand new roadster. The result isn’t E-Type sleek, but its shape is more pur-poseful . . . in a Teutonic sort of way. There’s even an active rear spoiler that deploys once the F-Type has reached 100 km-h, then retracts once the roadster’s speed drops below 65. The cloth top re-turns to its latched and locked po-sition in 12 seconds while the vehi-cle is traveling up to 50 km-h, so you don’t have to come to a com-plete stop in the middle of traffic or in the middle of a downpour. The seats are based on those in-stalled in the high-performance Jaguar XKR-S model and actually don’t require the car’s occupants to be overly svelte to squeeze be-tween the bolsters. Base F-Types are fitted with a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 that makes a respect-able 340 horsepower. Jaguar claims it will push the F-Type to 60 mph (96 km-h) in 5.1 seconds. The F-Type S gets a 380-horsepower version of the 3.0 that cuts that time to 4.8 seconds. The F-Type

V8S has a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 that delivers 495 horsepower and zero-to-60-mph sprints in a mere 4.2 seconds. Base price (incl. destination): $78,400l/100 km (city/highway): 10.4/7.1 (base V6)

XF — If a four-cylinder XF luxury sedan didn’t sound very “luxury” to anyone, that’s OK because the 240-horsepower Ford engine is not on the table for 2014. Neither is rear-wheel-drive as all Canadian XF’s begin with a 340-horsepower supercharged V6 and all-wheel-drive for a good mix of fuel econo-my and stoplight performance. However, if nothing less than a su-percharged V8 will suffice, the 510-horsepower version in the XFR returns unaltered for 2014. What does change is the new ultra-per-formance variant, the XFR-S, which adds the most dramatic body mods this side of a Subaru STI, with a rear wing to match. The car uses the same 550-horse version of the 5.0-litre V8 found in the new XJR and shares the eight-speed auto-matic transmission found in every other XJ. It’s the closest thing Jag-uar has to a four-door track car, al-though there will only be 100 pro-duced. Base price (incl. destination): $62,900 (XF AWD); $89,400 (XFR); $105,900 (XFR-S)l/100 km (city/highway): 13.1/7.7

XJ — Well, it only took a couple de-cades, but Jaguar finally gave its XJ luxury limo some more powerful claws up front for the 2013 model year, and followed it up with a reju-venated XJR to take on Mercedes AMG and BMW M models. With luxury-car bragging rights at stake, the big spotted cat joined the seg-ment leaders in making all-wheel-drive available for the first time. You can only get it with the super-charged 340-horsepower V6, which is now available in both reg-ular an extra-long XJL Portfolio for model-year 2014. With the non-supercharged mid-range V8 gone, that leaves the 470-horsepower supercharged 5.0-litre as the next step up the ladder in the XJ and XJL Supercharged models. New this year is the XJR, which has the highest output yet of the super-charged V8: 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. It’ll hit freeway speeds from a standing start in only 4.4 seconds and uses unique springs and variable damp-ers to maintain its composure. The XJ’s structure uses 50 per cent re-cycled aluminum that contributes to a relatively light 1,800-kilgram base curb weight. The least expen-sive XJ is fitted with an impressive array of amenities that would rival even more expensive luxury con-veyances, now including soft-close doors and more sumptuous trim aroundBase price (incl. destination) $90,400; $97,400 (XJL Portfolio)l/100 km (city/highway): 14.4/7.8 (V6)

Kia Forte combines great design with quality materialsOverview: Good design can’t be

translated unless the build quality and materials are first rate. The Forte sedan and Forte5 hatchback showcase this philosophy.

Drivetrain: Previously standard 156-horsepower 2.0-litre four-cyl-inder base engine is relegated to optional status for sedans; new 148-horsepower 1.8-litre four-cylin-der is the new starting point; Forte5 hatchback runs with the 2.0, or a 201-horsepower 1.6-litre turbo option.

The Forte for 2014 has become fashionably sophisticated when it used to be play-it-safe conservative. That’s even more apparent when it comes to the new Forte5 hatch. The

new base 1.8-litre engine pumps out 148 horsepower and 131 pound-feet of torque, while the op-tional 2.0-litre four-cylinder pro-duces 173 horsepower and 154 pound-feet of torque. For Forte5 buyers, the 2.0 is standard while a turbocharged 1.6-litre four cylinder is optional. A six-speed manual transmission, or optional six-speed automatic can be connected to all three powerplants. The Forte or Forte5 is comforting for passengers and pleasing for the driver who fac-es an intuitively laid-out dashboard and control panel. He or she also has command over the level of steering effort with the Forte’s op-tional Flex Steer system. With it,

the electric power steering can be adjusted to Comfort, Normal and Sport settings, with the latter offer-ing the least amount of assist. Of the Forte’s four trim levels, the starting-point LX leans to the sim-pler side of the ledger. Move up to

the EX and you get dual-zone cli-mate control, a Microsoft-powered infotainment system, backup cam-era, glove-box cooler and 16-inch alloy wheels.•Base price (incl. destination): $17,450; $18,250 (Forte5)

•Type: Four-door, front-wheel-drive compact sedan/hatchback •Base Engine (hp): 1.8-litre DOHC I4 (148) •Optional engine (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC I4 (173); 1.6-litre DOHC-I4, turbocharged (201) •Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive •Transmissions: six-speed manual; six-speed automatic (opt., std. on five-door) •l/100 km (city/highway): 8.0/5.3 (1.8, MT) •Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stabil-ity control•Weight (kg): 1,300s

Rondo Optima Sorento

2014 Kia Forte5

Overall: Kia’s multi-tasking sedan returns from a brief hia-tus with nifty styling and a thrifty drivetrain.

Drivetrain: Solitary engine is a 2.4-litre inline-four-cylin-der; six-speeds of the manual and optional automatic persua-sions are offered.

There aren’t many compact wagons that can get away with packaging three rows of seats that real people can actually sit in. The only other example that springs to mind is the Maz-da5. The original Rondo was a decent competitor, but the new version is better looking, more functional and does more with a litre of gasoline. Fortunately it’s no longer the anony-mously styled bubble of a wagon, but a smart-looking squared-off multi-purpose rig. The Rondo is exclusive to the Canadian market in that it remains out of reach for U.S. resi-dents. It’s hard to fathom why not since it has a lot to offer, starting with a well-planned interior, that, when not trans-porting people around can be converted to a workhorse of cargo carrier. The second row is a tri-folding unit, while the optional third row is a 50:50 bench. Both rows fold as flat as a bowling lane and offer an impressive variety of people and cargo permutations. However there’s only one choice when it comes to powerplants: a 164-horsepower four-cylinder that can be had with a six-speed manual transmission, or optional six-speed automatic with steering-wheel paddle shifters. The base Rondo LX arrives well turned-out with about as much equipment as most Canadians would ever want or need. The rest can move up to the EX that adds push-button start (spares you from the effort of turning a key), backup camera, rain-sensing windshield wipers, portable cargo flashlight and a power extendable driver’s seat leg cushion. Along with the third-row seat, the top-end EX Luxury includes an electronic parking brake, 18-inch wheels (16-inchers are standard), leather seat covers that are heated and ventilated in front. A voice-activated navigation system and a premium audio package head the list of extra-cost add-ons.•Base price (incl. destination): $23,400 •Type: Four-door, front-wheel-drive wagon •Base engine (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC I4 (164) •Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive •Transmissions: six-speed manual; six-speed auto. (opt.) •MPG (city/highway): 9.4/6.2 (MT) •Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain air-bags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control•Weight (kg): 1,445

Overall: As is the case with a number of Kia models, the Optima is on the receiving end of styling tweaks along with some new features.

Drivetrain: All engines have four cylinders in regular, tur-bocharged and hybrid flavor, although the Hybrid’s gaso-line-electric system gets a stronger battery pack that gener-ates increased torque.

The Optima drops to second place in Kia’s sedan hierarchy now that the larger Cadenza has arrived. However Kia is keeping the Optima fresh for 2014 with an updated front end with a slightly enlarged grille. In back there’s a revised trunk lid and a lower bumper area where the exhaust exits. Inside, the seat fabrics are upgraded and the dashboard up-dated with a larger high-resolution touch screen for the op-tional navigation and communications systems. Finally, the Optima offers blind-spot monitoring and cross-traffic alerts when backing up. The Optima shares the related Hyundai Sonata’s range of four-cylinder engines: the entry point is a 2.4-litre unit that produces a very healthy 192 horsepower, while an optional 274-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine quenches your thirst for thrust. The Optima Hybrid’s electric motor makes 47 horsepower sup-plied by a 47-kilowatt lithium-polymer battery pack. Fuel economy for the Hybrid remains nearly the same at 5.8 l/100 km in the city and 5.1 highway, better than the 2.4 gas engine’s 8.7 city/5.7 highway ratings. The hybrid can also travel at speeds of up to 100 km-h without assistance from its gas-engine partner. With six trim levels — base LX, LX+, EX+, EX Luxury and SX — the Optima ranges far and wide to satisfy a variety of budgets. Throw in a five-year warran-ty and customers should be beating a path to their local Kia dealer.•Base price (incl. destination): $25,800; $32,000 (Hybrid)•Type: Four-door sedan•Base Engine (hp): 2.4-litre DOHC I4 (192) •Optional engines (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC I4, turbocharged (274); 2.4-litre DOHC I4 with electric assist (206, hybrid) •Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive •Transmission: Six-speed manual, six-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 8.7/5.7 (2.4, MT)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain air-bags; anti-lock brakes; brake assist; hill assist control; trac-tion control; stability control •Weight (kg): 1,450

Overall: There’s plenty of unexpected newness beneath the Sorento’s familiar tall-wagon shape.

Drivetrain: A 175-horsepower four-cylinder becomes the new base powerplant; a 290-horse V6 is optional, as is all-wheel-drive with either engine.

For 2014, the Sorento tall wagon receives a minor nose-job, including the ubiquitous mesh-style grille, updated head-lights and optional fog lights, plus new taillight lenses. As well, Kia has mounted the Sorento on a platform that’s 18 per cent stiffer than that of the 2013 version. There’s also a stout-er sub-frame that holds the powertrain more firmly in place as well as a new independent front suspension. In back, a more compact rear suspension adds interior space and reduc-es cabin noise and vibration. Inside there’s a new instrument panel and center control stack with easier-to-find buttons and knobs. Under the hood, a 175-horsepower 2.4-litre four-cylin-der powerplant that was standard for 2013 is replaced by the previously optional 191-horsepower 2.4-litre four-cylinder with direct injection. This means more complete combustion for added power and fuel economy. Optional is a 290-horse-power 3.3-litre V6. The available all-wheel-drive hardware is a full-time unit that constantly varies the torque to all four wheels and can direct power to the outer wheels in high-speed turning situations for added control. Along with the ex-isting LX, and EX trims, Kia has added an SX model that in-cludes a wood-trimmed interior with ventilated soft leather-covered seats on the inside, and self-leveling headlights and exclusive 19-inch wheels. The options list contains a power liftgate, panoramic sunroof, advanced voice-activated com-munications, infotainment and navigation controls and a blind-spot monitoring system that constantly tracks vehicles in the immediate vicinity and issues an audible and visual alert should any get too close.•Base price (incl. destination): $28,300•Type: Four-door tall wagon •Base Engine (hp): 2.4-litre DOHC I4 (191) •Optional engines (hp): 2.4-litre DOHC I4 (191); 3.5-litre DOHC V6 (276) •Layout: Front-engine, front- /four-wheel-drive •Transmissions: Six-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 10.4/7.1 (2.4, FWD) •Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain air-bags; anti-lock brakes; stability control •Weight (kg): 1,720

New Q50 Infinit Sedan practically drives itselfOverview: The Q50 ratchets up the style

by several notches over the outgoing G37; full suite of safety electronics means the car can almost drive itself; the all-wheel-drive hybrid is the hotrod of the bunch.

Drivetrain: Choose from a 328-horse-power V6 or a 3.5-litre V6 combined with an electric motor for a total of 360 horse-power; both operate with a seven-speed automatic transmission and each can be had in rear- or all-wheel-drive.

A new name and a slew of techno en-hancements are the first clues that Infiniti’s Q50 sedan is something special. Visually, the Q50 is set apart by a hunkered-down stance that matches its sport-sedan status. A cabin that elevates tastefulness to a new level reaffirms the car’s luxury-vehicle cred. The Q50 runs with the same 328-horsepower V6 as the outgoing G37, however a new-for-2014 Q50 Hybrid com-bines a 302-horsepower 3.5-litre V6 with a 50-kilowatt electric motor (rated at 67 horsepower) to produce 360 total system horsepower. The Hybrid uses the same sev-

en-speed automatic transmission as the regular Q50, as opposed to a less-than-sporting continuously variable unit found in most other hybrids. As well you can specify all-wheel-drive for the Hybrid, which is a feature not available in similarly propelled Lexus or Lincoln models. The

Hybrid rates an impressive 7.0 l/100 km in the city and 5.6 on the highway. Befitting of any luxury sedan, the Q50 arrives prop-erly attired, however the Q50 Premium adds heated front seats, power moonroof and Bose’s 14-speaker audio system. The Q50 groups its crash-avoidance electronics

under the “Safety Shield” umbrella with the star of the show being a new steer-by-wire system where the steering wheel is not hard connected to the front tires. The Q50 can also automatically brake when it sees the car in front of you slow down, or the car in front of that car slow down. That buys you extra stopping distance. Where many backup systems alert you to objects that are in your path, the Q50 will stop it-self before you have a chance to react. •Base price (incl. destination): $39,500; $49,000 (Hybrid)•Type: Four-door sedan•Base engine (hp): 3.7-litre DOHC V6 (328)•Optional engine (hp): 3.5-litre DOHC V6 (302)/50-kilowatt electric motor (360, net)•Layout: Front-engine, rear- /all-wheel-drive•Transmission: Seven-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 20/30 (3.7)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; trac-tion control; stability control•Weight (lb.): 3,650

2014Infinity Q50 Sedan

QX50Overall: “Old” EX37 is now the “new”

QX50, but other than new badging, it’s the same all-wheel-drive, all-weather wagon.

Drivetrain: Infiniti’s potent 325-horse-power 3.7-litre V6 remains the sole en-gine; seven-speed automatic transmission; all-wheel drive for Canada.

If you’re confused over Infiniti’s new naming system, you’re not alone. All SUVs and tall-wagons will start with QX and the number that follows dictates its relative position in the lineup, not its engine dis-placement. So the EX, which is essentially the G37 wagon in wolf’s clothing, will now be known as QX50. But other than the name adjustment and associated identifi-cation, there aren’t any changes to the package for 2014. That’s fine, though, since last year it gained Infiniti’s larger 3.7-litre V6 as the sole engine choice. Pow-er is 325 horsepower, up significantly over the old 297-horsepower 3.5-litre V6. The only transmission remains the seven-speed automatic, and the QX50 can be had only in all-wheel-drive for Canada. Our neigh-bours to the south can opt for rear-wheel-drive. The interior of this five-seater is an inviting mix of organic shapes and atten-tion to detail. Leather is standard. Of the technologies used, one of the most inter-esting is “self-healing” paint with the abili-ty to, in a process that takes up to week (depending on surface temperature), ab-

sorb small scratches and return the finish to a close-to-new condition. The optional Around View Monitor uses four cameras to show a top-down view of the EX as you’re backing into a parking spot: there’s no ex-cuse for bruising your bumper. As well, the optional lane-departure system warns when you’re unintentionally changing lanes and can help put the vehicle back where it belongs by automatically apply-ing the left- or right-side brakes. For Cana-da, there is only one model and that’s the well-equipped Journey trim level. It gets the usual assortment of power/luxury/heated/leather goodies including stan-dard dual-zone climate control. Still, there are a lot of options, from crash-avoidance electronics and 19-inch wheels, to a power folding back seat, navigation and Bose premium audio system.•Base price (incl. destination): $41,500 •Type: Four-door wagon/hatchback•Base Engine (hp): 3.7-litre DOHC V6 (325)•Layout: Front-engine, all-wheel-drive•Transmission: Seven-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 12.1/8.1•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact air-bags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; stability control•Weight (kg): 1,815

QX60Overall: After only a year on the market,

the JX35 becomes the QX60, but otherwise remains a slimmer, trimmer, more efficient wagon for luxury hauling; all-new Hybrid shares its gasoline-electric system with Path-finder platform-mate.

Drivetrain: Standard QX60 uses a 3.5-litre V6 with a continuously variable transmission; all-new Hybrid gets a super-charged 2.5-litre four-cylinder and electric motor combo; new front-wheel-drive model for Canada cuts the base price.

The 2014 QX60 can carry up to seven pas-sengers across three rows of seats, but due to its passenger-car construction and two fewer cylinders, it weighs about 360 kilograms less than the flagship QX80. In the flesh, the QX60 is an attractive piece, but is decidedly more wagon-like than Infiniti’s five-passen-ger QX70 and QX50 models. The QX60 is supported by a 3.5-litre V6 that produces 265 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque. The continuously variable transmis-sion has a “Sport” mode that simulates the gear-changing characteristics of a conven-tional automatic. Both front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available, the latter being an on-demand unit that directs 100 per cent of the engine’s torque under normal driving conditions, but can deploy up to 50 per cent of the available thrust to the rear wheels to maximize grip. Front-wheel-drive fuel econ-omy is pegged at 10.5 l/100 km in the city

and 7.6 on the highway while the AWD is close behind at 10.9/7.8. For 2014, the new Hybrid uses a supercharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder paired with a 15-kW electric motor that combines to deliver 250 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque. Infiniti re-ports a combined city/highway rating of 7.2. Infiniti has made available most of its elec-tronic safety and crash-avoiding accessories, including Backup Collision Intervention that can automatically prevent reversing into something. Other technology includes dis-tance-maintaining cruise control, blind-spot warning and Active Trace Control that mod-ulates the torque and braking at each wheel for optimum cornering. There’s also voice-activated navigation, 13-speaker Bose sound system, front and rear sonar-based parking assist combined with a multi-camera Around View Monitoring with Moving Ob-ject Detection alert. •Base price (incl. destination): $44,450•Type: Four-door tall wagon•Base engine (hp): 3.5-litre DOHC V6 (265)•Optional engine (hp): 2.5-litre DOHC I4, su-percharged, w/electric assist (250, Hybrid)•Layout: Front-engine, front- /all-wheel-drive•Transmission: Continuously variable•l/100 km (city/highway): 10.5/7.6 (FWD)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; stabil-ity control•Weight (lb.): 1,700

Subaru goes green with new XV Crosstrek hybrid modelOverall: The “mini-Outback” that was

celebrated for its bright space-shuttle-or-ange launch colour is turning a little green-er for 2014 with a new hybrid model.

Drivetrain: Impreza’s 2.0-litre four-cylin-der engine with either a five-speed manual transmission, or optional continuously vari-able unit (CVT); new Hybrid is Subaru’s first and integrates a small electric motor in-to its standard CVT for added power and a slight uptick in efficiency.

Although it shares its raised ride height and a substantial ground clearance, the XV Crosstrek leaves the serious business of off-roading to its larger Forester cousin. Heavily based on the Impreza hatchback, Subaru has provided the XV Crosstrek with its own distinctive nosepiece, bumpers, roof rails, side cladding and rear spoiler. The meaner macho look is completed with darker win-dow tinting and a set of 17-inch all-season tires mounted to custom-look wheels. The XV Crosstrek is fired up with a 148-horse-power 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that comes straight out of the Impreza. The new-

for-2014 Hybrid uses the same CVT only with an electric motor included that’s worth 13.4 horsepower and 48 pound-feet of torque. This is very much a “mild” hybrid system as the electric motor is used only when accelerating from rest, and it can be called upon to assist the 2.0-litre engine if needed. Subaru says it will also function in

electric-only mode in some specific stop-and-go situations. Hybrid fuel consumption is rated at 6.9 l/100 km in the city, com-pared with 8.2 for the gas-only model with the CVT. Both non-hybrid and hybrid mod-els with CVTs share all-wheel-drive sys-tems: the Active Torque Split setup main-tains a 60:40 division, front to rear, but au-

tomatically directs up to 100 per cent of the torque to either set of wheels when neces-sary. Other Hybrid additions include active grille shutters to keep the air out at high-way speeds, lightweight 17-inch wheels to save fuel, along with more standard equip-ment such as a rear-view camera, heated seats and exterior mirrors and a display that shows exactly how the hybrid system is working. •Base price (incl. destination): $26,150; $31,650 (Hybrid)•Type: Four-door hatchback•Engine (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC H4 (148)•Optional engine (hp): 2.0-litre H4 with 13.4-horsepower electric motor (148, Hy-brid)•Layout: Front-engine, all-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Five-speed manual, contin-uously variable (opt.) •l/100 km (city/highway): 8.2/6.0 (CVT)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; trac-tion control; stability control•Weight (kg): 1,400

2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid

ForesterOverview: Subaru’s all-wheel-drive won-

der-wagon adds refinement, reduces fuel consumption and keeps price low.

Drivetrain: The returning 2.5-litre four-cylinder puts out 170 horsepower, while an all-new turbocharged 2.0-litre ups the pony count to 250; A six-speed manual transmis-sion for base models, or optional continu-ously variable unit.

Through clockwork-regular updating, the Forester has evolved into a steady perform-er that treats its passengers well and totes their belongings with ease. On good roads and bad, the standard all-wheel-drive oper-ates virtually unnoticed. But when the need arises the vehicle’s mountain-goat capabili-ties make it a popular choice. The Forester sits on a new platform that modestly stretches the distance between the front and rear wheels for a bit more rear leg room, while a taller roofline and lower load floor add somewhat more cargo volume with the split-folding rear seat folded flat. The carryover 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine generates 170 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. The design is tough, compact and provides a very low centre of gravity to limit that tippy feeling. For added punch, the 2.0XT uses a turbocharged version of the 2.0 that’s found in the BRZ sports coupe, rated at 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The 2.5i has a six-speed manual transmission, or a continu-

ously variable (CVT) option. The 2.0XT on-ly comes with the CVT, but it has what Sub-aru calls its “engine performance manage-ment system” with Intelligent, Sport and Sport Sharp settings. In Sport mode, the throttle becomes more responsive and the steering-column-mounted paddle shifters mimic the action of a six-speed transmis-sion. Standard on the 2.0XT and available on the 2.5i with the CVT is Subaru’s X-Mode control. When activated at speeds be-low 20 km-h, the system adds greater con-trol on slippery surfaces by shifting torque specifically to the wheels with grip. For Canada, the trim levels and names depend on the engine chosen, but all Foresters ar-rive reasonably well equipped. •Base price (incl. destination): $27,650•Type: Four-door wagon•Base engine (hp): 2.5-litre DOHC H4 (170)•Optional engine (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC H4, turbocharged (250)•Layout: Front-engine, all-wheel-drive•Transmission: Six-speed manual; continu-ously variable with opt. paddle shifters•l/100 km (city/highway): 9.4/7.1 (2.5, MT)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; front-knee airbag; an-ti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control.•Weight (kg): 1,480

BRZOverall: Rear-wheel-drive sports coupe

has been a big hit since introduction, so why mess with success?

Drivetrain: The 200-horsepower four-cylinder gets by with a little help from Toy-ota’s tech department; a six-speed manual transmission or available six-speed auto-matic.

When Subaru announced it was partner-ing with Toyota to create a sports car that only sends power to its rear wheels, the brand faithful were concerned. Once they got the chance to sample the finished prod-uct, though, they were hooked. The BRZ is simply excellent. Toyota is experienced at making sporty coupes but hasn’t headed down that road for years. In Subaru’s case, its last effort was the 1990s-era premium-priced SVX. This time the BRZ faces formi-dable competition. In this class, one of the BRZ’s primary advantages is weight, or rather a lack of it. At just 2,760 pounds (1,275 kilograms), the Subaru weighs about 500 pounds (225 kilograms) less than the Genesis and anywhere from 700-1,000 pounds (about 300-450 kilograms) less than any V6-equipped North American example. Although the extra-stiff platform is completely new, much of the suspension pieces originate with the Impreza and its performance-focused WRX STI variant. A quick steering ratio that’s more in tune with the BRZ’s sporty nature has also been

installed. To aid turning and cornering ca-pabilities, the 200-horsepower 2.0-litre en-gine is positioned closer to the center of the vehicle and sits lower to the ground than similar powerplants due to its horizontally opposed design, thus lowering the car’s centre of gravity. A six-speed manual trans-mission is standard, while a six-speed auto-matic is available. The latter features man-ual paddle shifters, rev-matching down-shifts plus a “sport” mode that, by activat-ing a switch on the floor console, delivers quicker shifts. In the flesh, the BRZ looks flat-out terrific with its properly planted stance, prominently bulging fenders and generously sized windshield. In back, the twin exhaust pipes encased in a blacked-out diffuser are a neat touch. The cabin/dashboard design isn’t quite as impressive, but is nonetheless straightforward and clearly presented.•Base price (incl. destination): $28,950•Type: Two-door coupe•Engine (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC H4 (200)•Layout: Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Six-speed manual; six-speed automatic (opt.) •l/100 km (city/highway): 9.6/6.6 (MT); 8.3/5.9 (MT)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact air-bags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control•Weight (kg): 1,275

as it gets, right down to three new engines.Drivetrain: Three engines all have alumi-

num cylinder blocks and direct fuel injec-tion that makes big difference to power and fuel economy; six-speed automatic trans-missions for all; V6 makes nearly 300 horse-power and is standard for every cab style and two- /four-wheel-drive.

For 2014, the Sierra continues with its own style and attitude, although the “atti-tude” part is hard to define, exactly. More basic GMC models accentuate the “Profes-sional Grade” tag and the pitch is directed at buyers who rely on their pickups to earn a living. At the opposite end of the scale is the Sierra Denali. The Sierra’s entire front end, including grille, headlights, bumper and in-your-face GMC logo, are massive and make a bold statement. As you scale the trim-level ladder the appointments become more lux-urious, especially in the four-door crew-cab models. Improvements in aerodynamics, in-sulation and weather sealing help shut out intrusive noises. Just as a greater use of alu-

minum in fabricating various body panels and suspension parts has kept the Sierra’s weight in check, the three new engines also benefit. All use aluminum cylinder blocks and incorporate direct injection, whereby fuel is force-fed into the cylinders under high pressure to tailor the fuel load for spe-cific uses. There’s also continuously variable

valve timing for improved low- and high-speed performance, while half the cylinders in V8 engines will automatically shut down in steady-state cruise conditions to save fuel. The V6 engine also runs on four cylinders in such situations. The base 4.3-litre V6 might have the same displacement as before, but now makes 285 horsepower and 305

pound-feet of torque. The old iron 4.3 was good for just 195/260 pound-feet. Mated to a standard six-speed automatic transmis-sion, fuel consumption is cut by almost 2.0 l/100 km in the city and 1.5 on the highway. V8 choices consist of a new 5.3-litre unit with 355 horses and 383 pound-feet, up from 315/335, and a 6.2-litre piece rated at 420/450. It’s standard in the fancier Sierra Denali, not to mention a rather substantial list of content that includes unique 20-inch chrome and wood and leather innards. •Base price (incl. destination): $28,200•Type: Full-size pickup•Base engine (hp): 4.3-litre OHV V6 (285)•Optional engines (hp): 5.3-litre OHV V8 (355); 6.2-litre OHV V8 (420)•Layout: Front-engine, rear- /four-wheel-drive •Transmission: Six-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 11.9/8.4 (4.3)•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; trac-tion control; stability control.•Weight (kg.): 2,240

2014 GMC Sierra

Mercedes-Benz CLAOverview: Mercedes-Benz has devised a

gorgeous entry-level sedan that borrows the platform and turbocharged engine from its A- and B-class small wagons.

Drivetrain: The base CLA’s turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder makes 208 horse-power; AMG version squeezes 355 horse-power out of a specially constructed version of the turbo 2.0.

The CLA is a sedan that almost anyone searching for a luxury vehicle can afford. The car’s sporty body cladding and other trim makes it appear far from a stripped-down basic-transportation module, al-though with a sticker price that’s a few bucks north of 35 grand, it’s priced like one. Other than being pulled by the front wheels thanks to a platform and mechani-cals borrowed from the B-Class, what’s most unusual about the CLA is that it doesn’t offer the kind of roomy practicality that’s a given when it comes to nearly every mid-size sedan. That’s because Mercedes stylists drew their inspiration from the larg-er CLS-class faux coupe that remains one of the most imitated models on the planet. The CLA’s aero design looks pencil-sharp. The CLA 250 comes with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that produces 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque at an engine speed that’s just above idle. This helps propel the car to 100 km-h from

rest in quick 6.5 seconds, as recorded by Mercedes-Benz. For fuel thriftiness, the CLA 250 uses technology that shuts off the engine when the car comes to a stop. Once the brake pedal is released, the CLA starts up again. The CLA 45 AMG also features a turbocharged 2.0, except that the block has been strengthened and a higher-output tur-bocharger produces nearly twice the boost of the CLA 250’s. The result is a stout 355 horsepower and 322 pound-feet of torque. That’s an astounding 177 horsepower per litre of displacement, while the new Cor-vette is less half of that at 73. The AMG is expected to shave the CLA’s zero-to-60-mph times by about two seconds. Both models use a seven-speed automated man-ual transmission with paddle shifters..•Base price (incl. destination): $36,000; $51,900 (AMG)•Type: Four-door sedan•Base engine (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC I4, tur-bocharged (208/355)•Layout: Front-engine, front- /all-wheel-drive•Transmissions: Seven-speed automated manual•l/100 km (city/highway): 7.8/5.1•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; trac-tion control; stability control.•Weight (lb.): 1,480

Mercedes-Benz B-ClassOverall: Forget the dowdy and boring

original, the newest B is a real peach.Drivetrain: Standard turbocharged four-

cylinder engine makes 208 horsepower; seven-speed automatic directs it to the front wheels.

Canadians have had access to Mercedes-Benz’s only front-wheel-drive car for six years, although it wasn’t really tops in class. Although the second-generation launched in 2013 closely resembles the previous B-Class, there are some obvious sheet-metal changes that gave it more flair. The “B” is also a bit longer and wider than before and the distance between the front and rear wheels has been slightly elongated. The in-terior has a rich look about it that’s typical for most Mercedes-Benz products, but not necessarily for vehicles in the low-$30,000 price bracket. Included as standard are leather upholstery, climate control, elec-tronic parking brake, ambient mood light-ing and 17-inch run-flat tires that do away with the spare tire. The option list runs the gamut including upgraded interior furnish-ings, audio/communications systems and other luxuries. The standard 2.0-litre DOHC turbocharged engine produces 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque and is matched with a seven-speed auto-matic transmission that takes over from the previous five-speed manual and continu-

ously variable units. The new powertrain is much thriftier as well, but like all M-B products it prefers to drink from the high-octane fuel pumps. A stop-start function helps lower fuel consumption by shutting the engine off when you’re stopped in traf-fic, starting it up again when you let off the gas pedal. Given that the new B-Class sells at the same price point as the old non-turbo model, the wealth of added performance and comfort items makes it one of the best bargains around. Given its ‘fresh-paint’ feel-ing, there are few upgrades for the 2014 model year, although some optional fea-tures have been shuffled around slightly.•Base price (plus destination): $32,600•Type: Four-door hatchback wagon•Engine (hp): 2.0-litre DOHC I4, turbo-charged (208)•Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel drive•Transmission: Seven-speed automatic•l/100 km (city/highway): 7.9/5.5•Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; head-protection curtains; rear side-impact airbags; anti-lock brakes; stability control; anti-lock brakes •Weight (kg): 1,475
