More modern .. more excellence!
Although the previous generation of the Chevrolet Tahoe he had spent in the markets for nearly 8 years ago, but he was able to sell more than 117 thousand copies around the world in 2012, and sales rose during 2013 despite being its last year of this generation by 16%, He indicated that it shows the confidence of the fans, which increases the confidence of a new generation of task difficulty, Vtaho must maintain a formula for success.
The beginning of the design, which has become more aggressive and powerful than before, network ventilation major large-sized bearing the logo of Chevrolet Large prominent in the middle, through the headlamps large front, which occupies the entire front and imposing figure Tahoe own, and even the hood prominent muscles, which contains beneath engine Tahoe's new .
It is the interface to the design side and the Chevrolet tried to add to it some cruise lines to get rid of the shape of the box-Tahoe, but they probably did not succeed in that task, to keep Tahoe bear all the genes of the usual SUV large size.
Backend also did not differ significantly, they are more classic than expected, a simple linear lamps do not carry a sign for a special design touches, with a rectangular glass rear door, rear load virtually free of lines design.
Not limited to points of excellence in the hull Tahoe on design only, car is backed hull strong base to build more solid than before, with the installation and welding of sophisticated parts of the body with each other to get the Tahoe more calm inside the cabin and greater safety in case of collision.
Cabin and new technologies
Chevrolet has worked very hard to develop a Tahoe cabin to celebrate the company's Eighty and make this second generation of ten large four-wheel drive her car more distinctive, for both sides of the design and techniques Tahoe got on the evolution of large makes it able to keep up with its competitors.
It is the driver's seat you can live a unique experience with the Tahoe, starting from the steering wheel large-scale-covered skin and carrying tools simple control the functions of the basic car, and left the stick transmission, which makes everything at your fingertips and gives you more space between the front seats, and even dashboard crowded with information and that make you in a leadership position like Btaúra fighter jets.
It has worked Chevrolet to give you a lot of functions with diligence to keep the controls simple and easy to access, especially in the area of the center console that contains three rows of buttons all carry illustrations of what you do with the large size makes it easy to use, in addition to the control screen 8-inch touch-and containing system MyLink informational Bjeelh new.
It is the front seats to grades second and third of the seats and the two have become more expansive and sizes larger movement of the legs of the previous generation, with the design of the doors of the corners to open large to facilitate the entry and exit from the cabin, along with entertainment system in the rear, which includes two screens and system to run tablets bluegrass - Ray and DVD.
Engine and safety
Operates the new generation of the Chevrolet Tahoe engine standard V8 engine of 5.3 liters, the engine developed a technical system includes direct injection of fuel, and the closure system of cylinders when not needed, as well as the system variable for the timing of opening and closing of valves, which gives you more power and torque, as well as more economic operation under all conditions.
Engine generates horsepower up to 355 hp with a torque of 518 Nm. Meters, and connects to the engine is mated to a six-speed automatic, and can request the payment of dual or quad, as needed, with an average fuel consumption of up to 13 liters per 100 km.
The safety equipment, V_evroulih Tahoe equipped with air cushions for the driver and front passenger, in addition to the drop-down curtains on the sides to protect the passengers in the back, and a sophisticated system of electronic stability of working to develop the car under full driver control in all circumstances.

Maybe not the first experiment , but not the best ever in the world of SUVs , but in spite of that they will live the experience of the rules of class so much as a lot of capital drown their competitors .
After having entered the Hyundai yard competition in the world of SUVs first-generation Santa Fe were not the company's vision and clear , but wanted only to expand access to a larger client base , and then came the second generation , which was not just an improvement in the march of Santa Fe , it was a leap restored hope to car owners in the SUV category average in obtaining suitable car of this price category is exaggerated .
Do not stop at that , he wanted Hyundai to elevate from a strong competitor to the standard of success, which remain in the foreground and knock your rules as rules of the game as a whole , to apply things wherever you want.
As Audnakm always experience all that is new in the automotive world , Naticm today one of the most family members of Hyundai recognizable , a wonderful Santa Fe , which did not take try we get an appointment to meet her, too , thanks to continued cooperation which Taudnah from ALMAJDOUIE car agent Hyundai in the Eastern Province , which provided 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe for us and for 3 days to take the whole impression about them.
The exterior design
Comes the new generation of the Hyundai Santa Fe ideology differs from the previous one but much like her generation first , after that the car started to those personal offensive twisted muscle , and then enjoyed her in the second generation has not had success on the design , she returned Santa Fe to those personal twist muscle Tkosher its teeth central Square where the canines to reach the depths of the earth .
Valusbandh front became more distinctive elegance of its broad , Santa Fe , where I got on the front ventilation elegant chrome-plated lamps add to the distinctive design techniques are used to give the LED lighting with an attractive appearance with lenses directed xenon lights . As well as provide the front bumper fog lights below to provide a good level of Santa Fe vision under all circumstances .
It is the interface to the sidelines of modern philosophy that reflects Hyundai 's new design , which highlights the character of those sleek lines of the car while retaining her personality sporting a distinctive , supports this design alloy wheels sporting 19-inch .
The rear styling is sleek and match the new design of the Santa Fe as a whole , to provide him with a private wing of the sports rear exhaust vents sports chrome plated .
Interior Design
It also won the car a radical change in the exterior design of the interior also got the same change Valmqsourh front has become more extensive and give the driver and passenger comfort and space suitable larger leather seats with automatic control status of the seat and storage.
Also got the front of the dashboard on the significant changes commensurate with modern designs for Hyundai , as well as the steering wheel and leather- clad woven carefully and accurately , which helped greatly in making more of the spirit of luxury and trendy to Santa Fe .
Points of design excellence is also inside the cabin speedometers athletic appearance and lighting distinctive inside and adorned with information screen , which adds to the promoted cabin in general, and that did not skimp on the Hyundai any processing , the beginning of the audio system featured with the navigation screen and rear camera , and even access to the system air conditioner air that can be set for the driver or front passenger or passengers in the back of the individual .
In addition, find feature cooling or heating the front seats or rear push of a button for more welfare .
It notes that will be taken to the rear compartment is a tight space allocated to the movement of feet in the second row and affected by the addition of third-row seats , which also shortened the storage space back to much less than assumed , however, did not provide space background to sit enough more than teenagers.
In spite of that , however, the rear area has got some special features such as curtains that protect the privacy of the passengers in the back, and the possibility of folding the third row to get more storage space .
Unlike the front compartment affected by the presence of the rear compartment and contributed to the third row in a narrow space for passengers and their feet .
Engine and Performance
The car comes with two options of engines was Tercibam accidental THETA first four-cylinder 2.4-liter generates 176 hp at 6,000 rpm and is good for the economic use of the other, the 6-cylinder capacity of 3.3 liters generates 270 hp at 6,400 rpm.
The car is available with automatic transmission or manual six ratios front four cylinders .
It was the experience of a class V6 mated and automatic shut down after the control system has been in the starting focal point out of the sprint to 100 km / h in less than 9 seconds using 91 octane fuel normal .
In the city
The performance of the car more than admirably in low speeds and driving within the city are characterized by calm and smooth driving and insulation excellent but suffers from some of the harshness of the suspension and the reason in the opinion of the tires of large size of 19 inches , and in spite of its large size somewhat , it does not give that impression at all while driving as The air conditioner works great , especially with the presence of the controller independent of the back passengers .
Interior roominess distinctive passenger Imam clearly contrary to what has been allocated for passengers in back (Grade II and III) The amount of foot tight and access to the third row tired , especially for adults Bruisers structure not to mention the lack of space for luggage when you use a third-grade and this is a problem semi- common with most cars in this category .
Systems and buttons control is easy to use and clear and do not contain a lot of complexity , design of the dashboard and control system with air conditioning semi- independent per passenger of passenger cabin and front and rear provide cooling front seats and also the navigation screen presence ceiling panoramic misleading enters lighting nicely .
On highways
Has been the experience of the car and its acceleration in the beginning you feel the weight of the car and in the opinion of the reason is the continuous four-wheel drive system , but after the arrival of the motor rotation to the 4000 session of the feel determination comes next .
Senior isolate the car , especially in medium and low speeds , as well as stability in the semi- high speeds ( 120 to 150 ), which is a good thing for a car of this size
Fuel consumption is good for its size which is the case most of the engines of the type Hyundai Lambda .
Specifications
As previously mentioned The car got a new generation so they differ in many specifications :
1 - The car comes with two options of the first four-cylinder engines , " theta " 2.4-liter generates 176 hp at 6,000 rpm and the other is 6-cylinder " Lambada " capacity of 3.3 liters generates 270 hp at 6,400 rpm.
2 - automatic transmission or manual with 6 forward ratios .
3 - a stylish interior design and evolution in the quality of the raw materials used inside.

Notes
1 - Engine performance is good on the car and wished to see them GDI engines .
2 - a narrow space for passengers to the back row , second and third were even dispense with the third row for this version and make it only in version with a longer wheelbase and to be issued this year .
3 - the difficulty of access to the third row of the limited space in and when you use it you lose storage space for luggage and become almost non-existent .
4 - gorgeous car's suspension and stability characteristic and its impact on the rest of the bumps and I think the reason is the 19-inch tires in size .
5 - despite the presence of rear sensors and rear Kamira no Front Parking Aid .
6 - A Sport button on the steering wheel to the steering wheel to make the situation athlete I do not know what interest there is no drive to put an athlete in order to benefit from it.

"It's a Stingray on steroids ," said Juechter matter -of-factly , trying to summarize the C7 Z06 in a clever sentence. "We tried to bring a level of performance to the ZR1 Z06 , but this car is much more balanced than ZR1. "Indeed, Juechter suggests that the early detection of patterns in demonstrating , GM , the Z06 was figures about on par with the Blue Devil . This is important, but how is it done? " The new engine 6.2L LT4 is based on the architecture of the LT1 Stingray focusing on torque at low , "said Jordan Lee , chief engineer Chevy Small Block. "There is still much work to do, but it will have 625 more horses - emphasis on" more . "- And 635 lb- ft of torque " Guess it was not a typo after all. Lee goes on to explain that the titanium intake valves , dry sump lubrication , direct injection, cylinder deactivation and variable valve timing continuously are all found here. So is a compressor Eaton TVS R1740 ultra - compact with integrated air-water intercooler , both located in the valley between the cylinder heads spaced V , allowing the engine to sit just 1 inch bigger than the LT1 . The cooler is 2 percent more efficient than the LS9 , and low-end torque has improved considerably during the infamous ZR1. The hood of the Z06 carbon fiber with larger and more space to accommodate the fan vents .
" This car produces more downforce than any production car in GM history ," he said with a big smile. The car in the studio is equipped with the Z07 performance package , which adds not only larger , lighter carbon-ceramic brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires ultra - sticking to the equation, but it calls Bednarchik the "Step 3 aero ." Wait package, what, he explained that there are three stages of aero performance available on the Z06. the first step is standard and includes a rear spoiler Z51 Stingray , a front splitter , and gaiters at the front wheel arches . Step 2 is optional and includes a slightly more aggressive front splitter molded carbon fiber , rocker panel extensions of carbon , and a larger rear spoiler (also carbon fiber ) with Gurney flap aerodynamic tabs fixed to the back for more support. the Z07 package is the only way to get the Training kit 3 . Order the package and your car will arrive looking mostly like a car the step 2, but in the trunk, you will find a carbon front splitter with extra-large fins and a clear center Gurney flap segment that bolts to the rear spoiler for added downforce. centerpiece What is clear to improve rear visibility and is height adjustable , with changes in just a quarter of an inch would be significant for test pilots.
Oh, and ( purists , plug your ears ) that the roof comes off. Apparently, the engineers made the aluminum superstructure of the car so rigid that even with the roof made of carbon fiber removed, the C7 Z06 is 20 percent stiffer than its predecessor. This is 60 percent stiffer than the old car with the roof up . The frame profile is constructed internally Corvette Bowling Green , Kentucky , and plant will practically identical to that of the C7.R. Magnetic Selective Ride Control dampers are standard and adjustable driver , as in the Stingray , and electronic limited slip differential is also included, with three calibration modes . While the interior design is not yet finalized, a flat-bottomed steering wheel , upscale and unique materials , and a choice of GT or sports seats very enhanced competition (at Stingray ) are available. Management remains essentially the same system as that used in the Stingray, but with a minor " recalibration. " It is safe to say that when the C7 Z06 arrives in showrooms at the end of 2014, he will compete for the title the fastest production Corvette to date . We can not wait to find out.
