Interior Design and Special Features

2011 Buick LaCrosse interior is sleek and contemporary. The front seats are surrounded by an arc extending from the edge of door to door accents, elegant, beautifully built and simulated wood contribute to the feeling decidedly higher level. At night, passengers are bathed in soft light blue lighting environment. The controls on the center console are certainly more complicated than the simple commands that are in the Buick past, but the operation of audio, air conditioning and navigation systems should be easy enough to decipher those used for most Modern cars and electronics.

Despite the generous interior, load capacity measures just 13 cubic feet, far less than rival sedans frames. The body is deep enough, but lack of height and width can be problematic for large objects.

Driving Impressions

The driver's seat 2011 Buick LaCrosse has a fun mix of luxury and commitment. The cabin remains blissfully calm the senses without the chamber of repression, because there is no wind, just enough road noise to remind you that did not sit on the couch. Taking into account all the Buick dispatch of the past, treatment of the LaCrosse is the ability to surprise. Confident in the car reacts, and is certainly more interesting to drive than the Lexus ES 350 Rear visibility, however, compromising the car high hat rack and thick roof pillars.

How powerful, 3.6-liter V6 is the obvious choice. We were separated from the four-cylinder engine, because it is extremely important that the weight of the car and have to work so much that the real world gas mileage is likely to suffer.

Security

Stability control, side airbags for front seats and full length side curtain airbags are standard on all 2011 Buick Enclave. The enclave brake test came to a stop 60 km / h in 139 meters. There is a rather long braking distance for this segment, and both Ford Flex and Mazda CX-9 is better.

The new government, a center for crash tests more demanding in 2011, earned a top five-star enclave for overall performance, with four out of five stars awarded for the first protection against impacts and five stars for side impact protection . The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests, the Enclave has received the highest score of "good" in frontal offset and side impact tests.
 

Interior Design and Special Features

Enclave cabin has a cozy atmosphere with its upscale and elegant dash wood grain messages. There are chrome everywhere, though, which means dazzling reflections when the sun is at certain angles. Two other drawbacks include small and indistinct buttons for audio and climate control, and outward visibility is compromised more than competitive vehicles.

On the positive side, the Enclave is a crossover SUV market bigger. There are 19 cubic feet of usable space behind the third row of seats, 68 cubic feet with the 60/40 third row folded sections on the floor and a large (but not quite minivan degree) 116 cubic feet per second row folded . The third row access is facilitated by a tilt feature and sliding the second row of seats, but some flexibility is still needed to go back, and the third row of the Enclave is more oppressive than the Ford Flex.

Driving Impressions

"Carlike" is a term often used for crossover SUV. It is not entirely applicable to the giant 2011 Buick Enclave, which tipped the scales at nearly 5000 pounds with four-wheel drive, yes, we noticed that the enclave is felt more and more heavily on the route crosses some rival.

However, 3.6-liter V6 engine of the Enclave is powerful enough in most situations, and while the handling is not alive or inspiring, it is stable and secure. For 2011 Buick Enclave also shines on the road with his travels quiet ride and suspension compliance.

Engines and performance

In 2011, Bentley Mulsanne is powered by a brand new, twin-turbo 6.8-liter V8 that produces 505 horsepower and 752 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters is the only transmission offered, and the channels of power to the rear wheels. In tests, Mulsanne derives its 6000 pounds by stopping at 60 km / h in just 5.7 seconds. No wonder that fuel economy is EPA-estimated 11 mpg city/18 mpg highway and 13 mpg in combined driving.

Interior Design and Special Features

While the attention of all other manufacturers to detail, "Bentley Mulsanne is the cabin in 2011, with more of an" obsession with detail. "Almost the entire surface is covered with leather, the same trunk lines. Y n is not just any leather. Bentley returned to that old style that gives a soft feel and exquisite fragrance, without chemicals.

The framework is made of glass or polished stainless steel and all the knobs are in the traditional style ribs of a Bentley. Navigation and audio systems are familiar to anyone who has used the same control interface in a modern Audi. The screen is clear and easy to read, and the operation is easy, once you learn the menus.

Of course, comfort is paramount in any luxury car, the Bentley Mulsanne and excels in this area. The seats are shaped for a variety of body types and there is enough leg room and head for frequent travelers. If you need legroom - driver of a center in the NBA, for example - the front passenger seat can slide forward to accommodate everything. The boot is also spacious, with room for golf bags and big bags.

Driving Impressions


Despite an empty weight of 5.700 pounds heavy, the Bentley Mulsanne 2011 moves with the urgency of a much lighter car. Its 505 hp does not seem that impressive, but 752 pounds-feet of torque is, no doubt - especially when all that power opens up from just 1,800 rpm.

However, such power does not detract from the focus on the luxury Bentley. Unless you floor the pedal, you will not even notice the presence of an engine. The rapid acceleration is also misleading, forcing the pilot to control the speedometer. In cornering, the Mulsanne sure-footed, but certainly not agile. But the sporty handling is not the priority of this car. The Mulsanne was built to transport passengers in ultimate luxury, isolated in a silence full of bubbles leather. At this point, went very well.

Questions seat at the side, inside the 'Supersport is also very well done as any Bentley.

Even with the high expectations that come with all Bentley Continental GTC Speed ​​is inside does not disappoint. Metal accents and leather upholstery and rich wood soft is blameless, with the charm of the old order until push-pull, a Breitling watch and the metal contacts and handles. Unfortunately, the infotainment and navigation is old world and Bentley has not changed since the 2004 Continental GTC in the introduction, and his age shows on the screen too small and non-intuitive interface. Fortunately, the iPod interface option is easier to use.

These passengers will probably be satisfied with their leather-wrapped thrones, but in the back seat is another story - there is room for two passengers short, but only if those in front are in a generous mood. Trunk capacity of 9.2 cubic feet is impressive given the GTC Speed ​​is magnified proportions, but it is sufficient to accommodate a standard golf bag with the wood removed.

Driving Impressions

Despite the weight of the 2011 Continental GTC Speed ​​stout and larger dimensions, is surprisingly well-mannered performance. The acceleration is allowed - as it should, with 600 horsepower on tap. The lowered ride height, suspension settings and partially adjustable rear wheels at all can lead more excited than you ever expect in a huge vehicle.

Calculate the beautiful lined with soft top, wind deflector formed by folding the rear seat, raise the windows and wonder how little noise and air to infiltrate the cab of Bentley. 75 mph, you will spoil your hair more than if the air conditioning was turned up.

Remains comfortable ride, despite suggestions to shake rough asphalt cap. The control is lightweight and does not offer any communication, that some other exotic convertible facts, but in the end, GTC Speed ​​is what most expect it to be: sharp, sophisticated convertible bonds tour level of performance has not found a regular GTC.

Interior Design and Special Features

Of all the luxury car market, few can deny exquisite interior, the Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Only the best leathers and wood veneers are selected, while the dedicated workforce shows in every detail. Push-pull vent controls, a Breitling watch and Metal Gear are the actual cockpit of an old world charm. Therefore, so does the display of date information and entertainment, and is not a good thing. It has many high-tech features now expected in a luxury car, but the use of these features is a pain because it lacks the functionality of the newer systems.

Driving Impressions


The 2011 Bentley Continental Flying Spur, with its almost silent cabin, adjustable suspension and a W12 turbine is able to provide the sensation of flying low level rather than a cruise on a long stretch of road. It is unlikely, also handles the back roads of curves like a car much smaller. However, compared with other large luxury sedans, in bulk, the Bentley is undeniable, and not so strong as to drive cars like the Jaguar XJ and the Porsche Panamera. If you are looking for transportation is more imposing than the energy, however, the Flying Spur should certainly offer.

Bentley Mulsanne (2011)



Paying tribute to Bentley spent most, the memory for the new model for Bentley Mulsanne and teams of engineers was to create a Bentley that represents the pinnacle of British luxury cars.

The new Bentley Mulsanne, designed and built at Crewe from the ground up, confirms plans to create a brand new flagship Bentley with refined performance, new levels of interior luxury and skills development coach in the front.

The unique design 20-inch wheels (with optional 21-inch) to strengthen the Bentley Mulsanne powerful, sporty position.

Design Director Dirk van Braeckel explains the inspiration behind the distinctive look of the Bentley Mulsanne:. "The ability to design a new Bentley's flagship product is something that has given very little of the design team set out to create a sculptural form that mixes classical signal Bentley heritage with contemporary lines that fight mark of confidence in the 21st century. "

The body produces a new manufacturing facility in Bentley's headquarters in Crewe, where the traditional metallurgical expertise, developed over six decades, are still widely used during the nine weeks the construction process. It is the opposite of volume car production in the construction ... but the very embodiment of Bentley.

Mirrors, for example, completely enveloped the body. This offers a flowing, flawless line of the rear of the car, a perfect complement to become the D-pillar - with the complex curves can be created by a qualified body shop. All spot welds are made by hand during the Bentley Mulsanne, and the construction of all the panel joints are welded by hand. These continue to improve this "solid appearance cut 'and leads to a very rigid.

The complex form of aluminum front fenders, impossible to obtain a standard pressing techniques that have been created using superforming, technology usually reserved for the aerospace industry. This also makes the wings and a lighter, stiffer, and offers an excellent definition of the surface. Other lightweight materials such as composite tailgate, used to remove the mass as possible without compromising quality.

New techniques for construction designers may also include details such as the 'floating' LED tail lights elliptical, which identifies the echo of the shape of the exhaust gases.

To highlight the beauty of the body, features Bentley Mulsanne 'brightware "exclusively in polished stainless steel, including frames and trim mesh matrix. Bentley is the only manufacturer in the world to do that.

World premiere, the system works with the unlocked door handles in stainless steel, incorporating the points of contact to initiate communication with the key for verification and entry. The Bentley Mulsanne also has keyless start, that has a button start / stop in the center console.

Bentley interior design team has continued and developed the luxurious interiors, which are known for cars, which is based on extensive research to identify the signature of the characteristics that defined the classic Bentley in 1920 to the present day.

Armed with this valuable resource, the design team of the Bentley Mulsanne was very hard for the goals of the major hardware features such as interior design, odor, color and harmony at home. Similar goals have been set for the refinement and strength of all operating controls. The result is an interior hand made that fully reflects the traditional values ​​of Bentley, running on the highest possible level, where customers can customize their cars to individual specifications.

As head of interior design, says Robin ago: "More than 170 hours - nearly half of the entire construction process - a step in the creation of the interior of the new Bentley Mulsanne in Crewe, as Bentley to work the opposite of mass production - where we start. more drop. "

The use of wood and leather skins has increased significantly in the creation of a cabin even more refined and luxurious. While the characteristics of conventional design, as the bulls eye vents (also now mounted at the rear), high-quality mirror-matched veneers, leather and hand-finished stainless steel is preserved, they are mixed with new features such as beautiful glass switches.

The cabin is fully enclosed in a ring "reinforcement belt of wood a continuous panel of wood adorning Bentley Mulsanne edge. Needles dial reversed in the instrument cluster is reminiscent Bentley soon as the dashboard and comprehensive design the console is a subtle reminder of the reason Bentley wings.
