Mercedes Silver Arrow Marine Yacht Super Cars

Almost 900bhp, a £2m rate tag and answering to the name of a Silver Arrow – it should be the F1-vehicle-for-the-avenue Mercedes-Benz could be unveiling this September. But what number of hypercars have an anchor, sunbeds and a ‘terrace by using the ocean’?

If Mercedes have been to design a complex motor yacht it might be…exactly like this. Got an S-magnificence? You’ll feel proper at domestic right here. Park your Mercedes AMG S63 alongside the Arrow460 Granturismo and the best problem could be telling them aside (be aware, the boat floats fantastically, the car less so).


Almost 900bhp, a £2m price tag and answering to the name of a Silver Arrow – it must be the F1-car-for-the-road Mercedes-Benz will be unveiling this September. But how many hypercars have an anchor, sunbeds and a ‘terrace by the sea’? 
Mercedes Silver Arrow Marine Yacht Super Cars

If Mercedes silver arrow were to design a posh motor yacht it would be…exactly like this. Got an S-class? You’ll feel right at home here. Park your Mercedes AMG S63 along side the Arrow460 Granturismo and the only problem will be telling them apart (note, the boat floats beautifully, the car less so). 

Yachts from car companies are nothing new... 

And for good reason – brand extensions are rarely as fast, sexy and exciting after all. Even Mercedes, in the distant past, has made waves. The three points of its star do represent land, sea and air, after all. Bugatti, Aston Martin and Lexus are three more that have recently taken the plunge. 
Often they are just dream boats, or marketing exercises with no more input from the car firm than colour and trim. The Merc is rather different. It was designed by Mercedes-Benz Style at its Como studios in Italy – under the direction of Daimler AG design supremo Gorden Wagener – at the behest of a UK registered start up company called Silver Arrows in Marine. 
STop speed was to be less important than comfort and refinement, so more GT than GT3. Hence the first Arrow460 billing as the Granturismo of the seas. 
With a lot of never-before-done boaty stuff and, unusual in yacht terms, a prototype stage (usually with boats the first customer is the guinea pig), the R&D has been protracted – the idea first surfaced in 2008. It took a clean sheet of paper and a ‘brain’s trust’ of eminent yacht designers and partner firms like M-B Style, but the yacht is now in production. 
With twin diesels and 880hp, the first fully-loaded Edition 1 costs from €2.5 million plus taxes (call it £2m in sterling) and the target is to have four boats delivered by the end of 2018. 

You could buy a real Silver Arrows for that! 

Supercharged 1930s Mercedes racing cars are notoriously tricky in the wet. Not so their 2017 namesake which I am in Cap Ferrat on the Med to put through its paces for rebelsnreaders.blogspot.com.  
Two million quid’s worth of luxury yacht is not my usual on-water experience, but, heck, I’ve got a dinghy and done my Powerboat Level 2. Believe me, you don’t need any of it. 
This is one very  easy and smooth boat to drive – literally child’s play. A lot of it is down to an Easy Docking joystick system that coordinates prop and bow thrusters with perfect precision. No more falling-about-laughing bystanders when you try to squeeze into that berth… 
At speed it’s mechanically quiet and smooth with a pillowy ride through moderately choppy waters. There’s no crashing and banging, plus the real bonus that you don’t get wet. All very relaxed and civilised. Top whack is 38 knots but at a 24-knot cruise you certainly won’t spill your G&T plus you will have enough range for the 160 miles across the Med from the Cote d’Azur to Corsica. And if you live in Eastbourne rather than the Cote d’Azur? Bad luck. 

Mercedes Silver Arrow Marine Yacht

 It’s a hydraulically-extending swim platform that slides out of the stern, so you can plop straight into the water.
Then maybe some supper – there are kitchen facilities but mostly it’s a wine fridge – around a large glass table, with the fully retractable side windows down and the vast glass sunroof lifted up high on hydraulic struts. Think gentle sea breezes filling the cabin and harbour light twinkling across the water.

Not romantic enough? Push another button and the table disappears and out slides a king-size double bed for a night under the stars. 
The open-plan ‘loft-style’ below decks area is a revelation with its Mercedes concept car-style design and Alcantara and mesh fabric materials aplenty. There’s even a big shower room. And your millions buys lots of goodies: JBL and Bose entertainment systems, electronically dimming glass (like the Merc SL’s MagicSky) for UV protection and privacy, and of course full air-con – the eyeball air vents are in fact the only actual Merc component on board. 


Mercedes Silver Arrow Marine Yacht Super Cars

Verdict

Who says cars and boats don’t mix? It’s bit of a stunner we reckon and a shiny silvery revelation among all those lookalike aggressive and very white sports cruisers. But who will buy it? These days the world’s oceans – sorry, glamour hot-spots – are full of superyachts and they all need tenders. (Sir) Philip Green is not going to get out to Lionheart in a rowing boat is he? 
With all it has going for it, the Arrow460 is far more than just a tender, though, doubling up as a dayboat for partying (it can take 10 people) or an all-mod-cons overnighter for two people. 
A true Mercedes? If it looks like one and swims like one…

Volvo XC90 2019 is a facelift edition for the second generation of compact SUV from Volvo and manufactured in the Volvo factory in Torslandaverken since 2002 ago, but was moved to China at the end of 2014. The first generation was introduced to the North American International Auto Show 2002 and was using the platform Volvo P2, sharing it with the first generation Volvo S80 and other large Volvo cars.
Acquiring a new global platform called Scalable Product Architecture or SPA, the second generation offers a stronger platform but with weight reduction while enhancing safety and driving efficiency. Therefore, the second generation of XC90 managed to win the SUV Trend Motor of the Year in its debut.
Volvo XC90 is one of the vehicles that provides a lot of income for Volvo. After being sold for 320,000 units since it was first introduced, this sporty luxury vehicle gained minor visual changes.

The changes are also invisible to the stern. Still with the back light with the new integral rear axle, XC90 still obtains an electronically controlled air suspension with five preferred modes. The vertical back light is located next to the back door. While the two exhaust on the bottom complements the updated rear exterior of the Volvo XC90 2019.

INTERIOR VOLVO XC90 2019
Cabin design is also not much changed, just like the exterior. With brown Nappa skins as well as metal speaker lattice for the optional & Wilkins stereo Bowers, the control structure looks simple.

Volvo XC90 2019 Review: Dashboard

Drivers and passengers can enjoy the spacious space given in the CX90.

The seats can be shifted forward to allow access to the sixth and seventh seats in the back. However, just like its rival, CX90 has a stingy leg and knee space in the third row seat.

Review of Volvo XC90 2019: Luggage

Review of Volvo XC90 2019: Luggage

The cargo chamber suffered the same fate, which is a little narrow with the third row in front of it, accounting for 447 liters. However the trunk of Volvo CX90 2019 extends dramatically when the line when folded down, even reaching 2,426 liters. Especially if the second row is folded.

OPERATION VOLVO XC90 2019

Another advantage of XC90 is its comfortable and charming driving dynamics. The driving satisfaction starts with the powertrain with a 2.0-liter four-line engine powered by Turbo and supercharger. With 316 horsepower as well as 400 Nm torque easily traversing all terrain, the Volvo XC90 2019 operating system has a very strong turbo and supercharged engine although it does not necessarily provide economical fuel.
OPERATION VOLVO XC90 2019


Olvo says you can reach 100 km/h of silent state in 6.1 seconds. Of course fast enough for this type of vehicle. But unfortunately the engine sounded a bit harsh in its operation. An automatic eight-acceleration gearbox is also capable of doing its job without causing much fuss in the engine room.

Which Hyundai Kona does rebelsnreader.blogspot.com recommend?

We approve Hyundai Kona Limited 2019, i.e. for 1.6 litre turbo charged engine. You will also get leather seats and some other extra features. We also recommend hyundai kona for all-wheel drive as it comes with an enhanced rear suspension that enhances the quality of handling and car ride

Rebelsnreaders.blogspot.com Expert Review

Overall rating

7.9 / 10
Based on its bodywork alone, the 2019 Hyundai Kona can be hard to love. While evaluating styling is subjective, it's fair to say that the Kona tends to draw more criticism than praise. But the old saying about not judging a book by its cover applies here — the Kona is one of the best subcompact crossover SUVs on the market.

When equiped with its optional turbo-charged engine, it gets up to speed far quicker than anything else in the class. Its also fun to drive around turn thanks to its sporty handling. On top of that, you get a lot for your money. Even a base Kona comes with a decent set of features, including a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. For 2019, you get even more with the Kona. Many of the advanced safety features that were previously only available on the top trim levels are now standard on every Kona.

Overall, we think the Hyundai Kona is an excellent pick in a class that includes the versatile sporty Mazda CX-3, the Honda HR-V and the affordably priced Nissan Kicks. Factor in Hyundai's lengthy warranty coverage and the value proposition is undeniable. No matter what you may think of its styling, the Kona deserves a second look.

Notably, we picked the 2019 Kona as one of rebelsnreaders.blogspot.com' Best Small SUVs for this year.

Hyundai Kona 2019 New Release
2019 Hyundai Kona


Hyundai Kona models

The Hyundai Kona is a five passenger subcompact crossover SUV that is available in four trim levels: SE, SEL, Limited and Ultimate.

The Limited and Ultimate trims get a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder (175 hp, 195 lb-ft) that's mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The range-topping Ultimate trim comes loaded up with rear parking sensors, pedestrian detection for the forward collision mitigation system, automatic high beams, automatic wipers, a head-up display, an 8-inch touchscreen, a navigation system, and a wireless charging pad.
Trim tested Hyundai Kona
Each vehicle usually comes in several versions which are fundamentally the same. The ratings in this review are based on our full test of the Hyundai Kona Ultimate (Turbo 1.6 L inline-4 | 7-Speed dual-clutch automatic | AWD).

Note: Since the test was conducted in 2018, Kona currently has received several revisions (upgrades), including USB ports and some standard advanced safety features for all users. However, our findings remain broadly applicable to the Kona Hyundai this year.

Driving Hyundai Kona
8.0
Overall, Hyundai Kona is a sporty sub-compact SUV with acceleration and above average handling. However, the transmission of the charged turbo engine shows some bad behaviour at low speeds, and standard lower braking performance.
Comfort Hyundai Kona

This is not the most comfortable vehicle in its class, but the seat supports, easy-to-use climate control and higher noise isolation makes the Kona Hyundai a worthy place to spend time. Company seat cushions and rigid riding can make bumpy roads or long drive wear.
The comfort of Hyundai's chair Kona
7.5
The front seat is well-shaped and supportive. There are many adjustments but not a whole lot of lateral increases. Rigid perforated skin, and cushions that feel firmly. In the back, the seats are flat and spacious, but not too upright.
Comfort Drive Hyundai Kona
7.0
Smaller imperfections are ironed, and the suspension takes the edges of almost all bumps. But the quality of the trip can feel a bit too stiff and busy at times. A very wavy road can make the vehicle feel too nervous.
Noise & Vibration Hyundai Kona
6.5
When driving at the speed of the freeway, the sound should be raised considerably due to the annoying road noise and wind noise seen around the door. Overall, the noise is not worse than the average for a class, with a cabin that is often quieter than competitors in the driving city.
Hyundai Kona Climate Control
8.0
Climate control struggles a bit to cool the entire cabin when it's blistering outside, but the rest of the time is effective to keep you comfortable. The controls are clearly marked and easy to use, making it an easy-to-operate system.
Hyundai Kona Interior
8.0
Despite having many plastic materials, the interior of Kona gets high value. The controls are logically regulated, good outside visibility, and there is a decent amount of space. Higher drivers and passengers will experience some problems.
Ease of Use Hyundai Kona
9.0
Buttons are logically grouped and clearly labeled, and the Hyundai Infotainment interface is easy to use. Some small touch buttons on the screen, but other than that there is nothing to complain about.
Getting in/out Hyundai Kona
8.0
The relatively short doors can be opened wide even in more restrictive parking spaces. The height of seat cushions makes the seats easy to slide in and out of. Higher drivers should duck slightly when climbing, and the tight rear kneeroom complicates the back seat and exits. But that's pretty common for class vehicles.
Driving position Hyundai Kona
7.5
The Cluster gauge and steering wheel are mounted low in the vehicle, making the corners slightly awkward towards the driver. A good vertical seat adjustment means you can sit in the upright SUV position, but it makes the low arm rest difficult to use.
Hyundai Kona Comfort and convenience
8.0
There is a suitable amount of space for drivers and front passengers. The back seat headroom is decent for a class — more than enough for an adult, but tight legroom, especially behind a high driver. Fortunately, there is a spacious space under the front seat for the rear passenger's feet.
The visibility of Hyundai Kona
8.0
The relatively narrow roof pillar in front makes for both front and side visibility. The roof pillar rear is wide, but the adjacent little window helps you see what's over your shoulders. The rearview camera provides a broad and clear picture.
Quality Hyundai Kona
6.5
Everything feels sturdy built, but only the main touch points like the steering wheel and the shifter have been treated with soft touch material. Otherwise, the cabin looks and feels very plasticky. The alternating textures break down everything visually a bit, but there's nothing to hide that hard plastic is gloomy.
Utility Hyundai Kona
7.0
The Kona really only falters in terms of utility when compared directly to class leaders. The trunk is a usable space, and there are a decent number of small-item storage options. But in every metric, there are competitors that offer superior ways to store your stuff.
Small-item storage
7.0
All four doors get pockets that can hold a water bottle, and the anti-tip cupholders can handle anything short of a large cup. The center console box and glovebox are relatively small. Overall, the Kona is OK with small-item storage but doesn't offer the variety or space of some competitors.
Cargo space hyundai kona
7.0
The trunk is easy to use thanks to a wide, flat load floor. But with 19.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats, the Kona is a little less accommodating than some rivals. The seats fold flat to open up 45.8 cubic feet.
Child safety seat accommodation hyundai kona
7.0
LATCH points are clearly marked and close to the surface, but they're tucked between firm cushions.
Technology hyundai kona
8.5
The Kona is a feature-rich vehicle, with lots of standard tech that works well. It also offers a nearly full suite of user-friendly safety features, not to mention a solid optional sound system.
Audio & navigation hyundai kona
9.0
The optional Infinity stereo system is excellent for this class, with plenty of bass response and good sound quality. The navigation system is simple to use and gets the job done. It has an easy-to-read display and useful turn-by-turn prompts.
Smartphone integration hyundai kona
8.0
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as are two front USB ports. There are two 12-volt outlets for the front seat, and higher trims get a wireless charging pad.
Driver aids hyundai kona
8.0
Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are fitted on all but the base trim, and a more extensive suite of features is available. That said, adaptive cruise control is missing, even as an option. The Kona's systems are consistently accurate, avoiding false alarms in our time with the vehicle.
Voice control hyundai kona
8.0
The Kona's built-in voice controls have limited functionality but work well for what they do, responding slowly but accurately. Step-by-step prompts appear on the screen, but the Kona will allow you to skip steps if you know what you want to do.

Review New Toyota Yaris: Anything but a rolling waiver

The small car with four-cylinder petrol engine for those who want to get along without hybrid drive. The days when small cars were rolling waivers - thin-walled, undemanding and poorly equipped - are finally over. And the Toyota Yaris is a good example of what cars of the four-meter class can do today .
So it can be warmly acclaimed that the so-called Toyota Safety Sense package is included in the Yaris - from the basic configuration Young - free of charge on board, in the collision warning, pre-crash brake assist, lane change warning and automatic high beam system are included. This is not without significance, because the Far East Mini in this configuration then still very cheap € 10,990, - costs and you even get even Bluetooth hands-free system, air conditioning, CD radio USB port and central locking with remote control ,
Who decides - as in the present case the Motor-KURIER - for the upscale style equipment for € 16.990, -, in addition to 16-inch aluminum, automatic climate control, LED daytime running lights and taillights, 7-inch touch screen, rear view camera , electrically adjustable, hinged and heated side mirrors, height-adjustable driver's seat and cruise control spoiled.

However, it should not be forgotten that even Toyota financial people can not conjure up what manifests itself in - let's say - cost-optimized material structure of the cockpit landscape.
In between: Toyota delivers a car that has grown incredibly mature compared to its predecessor, bringing with it all the amenities that were not standard in this class until now.

No more diesel
It is also noteworthy that Toyota renounced completely against the downsizing trend on small-volume, supercharged three-cylinder - and instead of a 1.5-liter four-cylinder screwed with conventional fuel injection under the crisp-short hood.
To denounce the four-cylinder as a weak point in the otherwise very well-made Toyota package would be unfair and greatly exaggerated - the 1500s but just can not really inspire: 111 hp hear at a weight of just over 1000 kilos auspiciously turn out to be but in driving practice as moderately spirited.

Since it avenge that the engine made entirely of aluminum has to manage without turbocharger. If you want to make good progress, you often have to change the gear ratios due to the thin torque of 136 Newton meters at 4400 rpm, which, however, does not cause any great effort because of the smooth-running gearbox.
