HIGHS Chassis tuned for fun, powertrain is willing if not brawny, spacious first and second row seating—and a third row if you need it. LOWS No performance-engine option, firm seats and minimalist interior design, cargo volume is shy of the segment average. VERDICT The Tiguan brings a decidedly European flavor to the crowded compact crossover segment with crisp handling and purposeful styling. Overview It’s hard to stand out in a crowd, but the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan strives to escape the genericism of the compact crossover segment with reserved but tasteful sheetmetal, sharp handling, and European spirit. Living directly below the Atlas in VW’s U.S. lineup, it prioritizes a holistic balance over stylistic gimmickry or extraordinary zero-to-60 performance. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and an eight-speed automatic serve as the sole powertrain; what it lacks in performance, it makes up for with parsimonious fuel economy and satisfying operation. The cabin follows the blueprint, offering decent space for people and cargo while the styling remains reserved and purposeful and the seats firm but comfortable. A third row of seats is available as an option, but it’s tight and for small children or occasional use only; the Mitsubishi Outlander is the only other model in the segment to offer a third row, but it has even less legroom. While the Tiguan's feature content is class-competitive, its crisp handling and overall well-rounded personality make for an appealing and enjoyable driving experience. Buyers enticed by the Tiguan but desiring more contemporary styling and the option of an electrified powertrain are advised to wait for the soon-to-be-revealed 2025 VW Tiguan. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Lift the hood on the 2024 Tiguan, and you’ll find VW’s near-ubiquitous turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder tuned for 184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. Output flows through an eight-speed automatic transmission and to the front wheels; Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system is optional. Whether front- or all-wheel drive, the Tiguan turns in an athletic if not breathtaking performance, aided in part by its low 1900 rpm torque peak and a smooth-shifting transmission. Indeed, some of our staff feel there’s a whisper of sportiness here that recalls VW's well-respected GTI hot hatchback. Alas, the brake pedal is the weakest member of the start-stop-turn team, as its soft and slightly ambiguous feel doesn't match the firm, progressive pedal action present in other members of VW's family tree. Like many of our favorite vehicles, the Tiguan’s cohesive real-world personality and general on-the-road poise belie its statistical limitations, including a rather languid 9.1-second zero-to-60-mph time as extracted by our test drivers. Again, having max torque available just after step-off does wonders for its in-town drivability, leaving highway merges as likely the only time you'll wish the Tiguan had a bit more power. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG The 2024 Tiguan is reasonably efficient for the segment providing up to 24 mpg city and 31 mpg highway per EPA estimates. Adding the 4Motion all-wheel drive system extracts a small penalty, coming in at 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. Subtract another 1 mpg in both metrics for the top-spec SEL R-Line trim. Our test of the 2022 Tiguan with 4Motion all-wheel drive returned 26 mpg combined. We haven’t yet had an opportunity to subject the Tiguan to our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test, but we'll update this story with the results when we do. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo The Tiguan's interior space is a classic case of give and take. One of the only models in the segment with an optional third row, legroom is incrementally tighter in the front- and second row than most competitors. In real-world use, however, the cabin feels spacious, and none of our drivers complained about a lack of space. Of note, Tiguans equipped with the 4Motion all-wheel drive system have no third row, and the second-row passengers gain approximately two additional inches of legroom. The interior layout is simple otherwise, functional but not particularly stylish. The base Tiguan comes standard with six-way manually adjustable heated front seats with cloth upholstery. The SE adds a power-adjustable driver's seat and faux-leather upholstery among other upgrades; opting for more expensive versions can net full power passenger seating, leather upholstery and a panoramic sunroof. Cargo space behind the third row is limited to just 12 cubic feet, which is about half a cubic foot less than the trunk space of a Corvette C8. Thankfully, that third row folds flat easily and increases the available cargo space to around 33 cubes, about mid-pack for the segment. With all the seats folded, we fit 19 of our carry-on boxes in the Tiguan, fewer than we stuffed inside key rivals. https://www.caranddriver.com/volkswagen/tiguan-2024 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQdC8QrRkxs

The Nissan GT-R and GT-R Nismo have been given a facelift for the Japanese market. Both versions retain the 3.8-litre V6 engine and keep the same power outputs, however the styling has been tweaked and the suspension has been revised for added refinement. I modified Nissan's popular legendary model gtr r36 and renewed it. The new 2023 nissan gtr nismo with redesign, racer and muscular looking is ready for your review. But the new R36 Nissan GT-R must be on the horizon soon, and the next-generation supercar is likely to use hybrid tech to boost performance. Carwow’s exclusive renders give you an idea of what it may look like when it comes along in a few years time. Engine wise, both the GT-R and GT-R Nismo use the same 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 as before, and power figures haven’t changed either. That means 570hp and 637Nm of torque in the standard car, while the Nismo produces 600hp and 652Nm of torque. The main revision to this updated GT-R is the suspension. Nissan has re-tuned it to be a bit more refined for everyday driving and reduce vibrations in the cabin. The Nismo is also more aerodynamic than before, and it has a new mechanical limited-slip differential at the rear to make it more controlled through the corners. New Nissan GT-R R36 rendered Updates to the R35 Nissan GT-R may keep it looking fresh, however the new R36 GT-R is expected to kick things up a notch. With that in mind, these exclusive renders imagine what the next-generation supercar may look like. Expect the blocky size and proportions of the R35 to return. There may even be some inspiration from the limited-edition Italdesign Nissan GT-R 50 — which you’ll see influence from in these images. Particularly in the roof, which may borrow the Italdesign’s two-tone appearance. New Nissan GT-R R36 engine and chassis Even though it’s been used since 2007, it’s expected the twin-turbo 3.8-litre V6 from the R35 will carry over to the R36. In Nismo GT-R tune, this produces 600hp. However, with emissions regulations in mind, Nissan is likely to pursue using electrification to take performance further. It’s possible it could use a single motor from the Nissan Ariya EV SUV. Combined with the V6, you’re looking at the potential for over 800hp. Expect some sublime 0-60mph time if that’s the case — possibly below two seconds — with the potential for a top speed north of 200mph. With hybrid assistance, the R36 GT-R may even drop the R35’s clever but extremely complicated all-wheel-drive system. Rather, it could use one that has the engine driving the rear wheels and the electric motor powering the front exclusively. New Nissan GT-R R36 price and release date There’s no indication that the Nissan GT-R R36 is close to being ready for sale. With the R35 recently being updated, you could be waiting a few years for the next-gen car to be ready. However, when it does arrive, expect it to cost significantly more than the current car. Perhaps somewhere around £150,000 to account for all the new tech. However, that’d still put it squarely alongside the Porsche 911 Turbo in sheer cost. Plus, with the McLaren Artura costing £180,000 and the Ferrari 296 GTB at £230,000, it’d still offer relatively bargain performance. https://www.carwow.co.uk/nissan/gt-r/news/3421/nissan-gt-r-r36-skyline-price-specs-release-date by: hycane #nissan, #nissangtr, #nissangtrnismo, #nismo, #nismogtr, #2023nissangtr, #nissangtr2023, #newnissangtr, #gtrr35, #gtrr36, #nissansportcars, #carreview, #nissangtrreview, ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGWMhperogA
