The exterior shape features a sharp kink behind the doors and a blacked-out C-pillar. It’s more striking than the previous Fortuner but is more polarizing than the safe, conservative shape of the first generation car. The new car measures 4795mm x 1855mm wide. Its height is 1835, making it at last wider than it is tall. Wheelbase is 2750mm, and it has a 193mm ground clearance.

The new Fortuner’s exterior features a large chrome grille, LED headlamps for high and low beam, and front and rear foglamps. Daytime running lights feature LEDs are well. The headlight automatically adjusts from high to low beam. The LED taillights feature a light-guide system to display distinctive horizontal bars when lit. Side mirrors include turn-signal repeaters and puddle lamps. The roof rack is now more flush with the bodwork, and Fortuner uses a shark-fin antenna.

The Fortuner features a seven-seat interior. The driver gets an 8-way power seat and a tilt-telescoping steering wheel with wood and leather finish. The gauges are twin analog Optitron-type with a color TFT screen mounted between to display trip computer information. Seats and dash are trimmed in synthetic leather and metallic accents. The second row splits 60/40 and can be folded and lifted with one touch. The third row splits 50/50 and can fold down into the floor or sideways. Seven airbags are available.

smart key is standard for the new Fortuner, with push-button engine start. There’s plenty of storage, with bottle bins in the doors, sunglass holder, multiple cup holders, luggage hooks, and a cooler bin fitted above the glovebox. Other convenience features include a 220-volt AC socket and three 12-volt DC outlets. There’s USB and Bluetooth connectivity, for phone and music. Six-speakers are standard for the Fortuner. A backup camera is provided. The tailgate is powered.

There’s a choice between two diesel engines. The base model gets a 2.4-liter inline-4 turbodiesel with 150hp and 400Nm, while the top variants use a 2.8-liter inline-4 turbodiesel with 177hp and 450Nm. The gasoline engine is a 2.7-liter inline-4 with 166hp and 245Nm. Toyota promises a quieter engine and up to 25 percent more fuel mileage from the 2.8-liter diesel compared to the old 3.0. An 80-liter fuel tank further expands the Fortuner’s cruising range. The six-speed automatic features a paddle shift. The 4×4 model no longer gets full-time all-wheel drive, but instead a rotary switch to select among high-range two-wheel and four-wheel drive, and low-range four-wheel drive.

The Fortuner uses independent double wishbones up front and a four-link with coil spring at the rear. Brakes are discs front and drum brakes at the rear. Tires are 265/60 R18s on 18-inch alloy wheels.

ABS and EBD, and brake assist are standard across all Fortuner variants, as are vehicle stability control and traction control. Hill start assist helps keep the Fortuner from rolling backward when on an uphill slope. The 4×4 model has hill descent control for better control when going down steep hills.

The Captiva is powered by the same 2.2-liter diesel engine that outputs 186.5 bhp @ 3,800 rpm and 400 Nm @ 2,000 rpm torque paired either to a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission with All Wheel Drive (AWD). The fuel efficiency for the manual is rated at 14.6 km/l while for the automatic it is 12.12 km/l.

Following Chevy Captiva models are available in Thailand:

Captiva Sport Edition

On the inside the 7-seater SUV continues with the standard features offered on the regular version but adds a reverse-parking camera to the list.

The vehicle also gets a dual-zone climate control, a keyless entry system, and an 8-speaker 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system (with Bluetooth, USB, and Aux connectivity).

With Ford’s new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, the driver can have a choice between an exciting onroad performance or go easy on the gas pedal to gain more fuel efficiency, thanks to Ford’s EcoBoost turbocharging technology.

The engine is rated at 177.53 horsepower of power and 240 Newton-meters of torque, giving a more powerful feel than a naturally aspirated 2-liter engine because of its high-pressure direct fuel injection and twin-independent variable cam timing technology.

Its new aluminum engine block helps to reduce overall weight, further improving performance and efficiency.

Ford’s core technologies for the new engine came from Ford’s multiple-award-winning 1-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost engine.

Its new cylinder head design promises improved cooling and an integrated exhaust manifold that delivers a more efficient feed of air into the engine so it can operate at optimal temperatures.

Designed to minimize the distance of its exhaust gases traveling from the cylinders to the turbocharger, the integrated manifold also reduces turbo lag to give a more rapid torque delivery.

Ford also reprogrammed the engine control system to ensure high levels of engine refinement, quietness and performance.

Easy change gears

Aside from better engine performance, the 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine is mated to a new lightweight and efficient 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift controls.

Drivers can now change gears without taking their hands from the steering wheel for an enhanced feeling of performance and control.

Ford’s new stylish take on the Focus’ exterior design also has a lower and wider stance, giving it a sense of width, and a new hood design that elegantly slopes toward Ford’s new signature trapezoidal grille that matches well with its slim, chiseled front headlamps. Its rectangular, elongated fog lamps further add to a bolder front end.

The refined and athletic exterior is complemented by a sleek and modern new interior. Ford designers paid particular attention to customer feedback on the current-generation Focus, which called for a simpler, more intuitive interior with fewer controls and switches.

Inside, the new Focus’ cabin was designed to have better levels of sound insulation, thanks to strategic placements of sound-deadening materials and sound-insulating windshield glass and thicker side-window glass panels, thicker carpets, increased insulation in the door trims, and improved engine insulation—giving the new Focus increased passenger comfort and refinement.

Class-leading technology

The new Focus is also packaged with a number of cutting-edge driver aid technology and smart connectivity to ensure safety and ease of operation.

The new Focus is equipped with Ford’s new and advanced connectivity system, the Sync 2, promising a safer and smarter way to stay connected. One can easily operate the car’s climate controls, entertainment system and a linked smartphone with natural voice commands.

Its centrally placed, high-resolution 8-inch touch screen offers a more intuitive control right at the driver’s fingertips, with color-coded corners for easy menu navigation.

Its Enhanced Active Park Assist that comes with Ford’s popular Parallel Park Assist has an added Perpendicular Park Assist feature.

These technology-based driver assist features allows its system to scan for available parking spaces alongside other cars and the system takes control of the car’s steering to guide the vehicle into the space, leaving the driver to control the shifting, braking and acceleration.

The Perpendicular Park Assist uses two new ultrasonic sensors on the rear of the car, which also features a Park-Out Assist. Its sensors make sure driving out of a tight spot is as easy as parking in, thanks to these state-of-the-art driver aid features.

The new Focus also features an improved Active City Stop system to help mitigate low-speed collisions. It has a windshield-mounted sensor to detect braking, slower-moving or stationary vehicles in front, and at speeds of 50 kilometers per hour, the system precharges the brakes if the car is approaching a vehicle in front too quickly.

Should the driver fail to take action, the system takes over and automatically reduces the engine’s torque and applies brake pressure to reduce the impact of a collision.

Performance-oriented

Aside from a great engine, Ford’s refined Electric Power Assisted Steering system and chassis design promise a better driving experience with more precise steering while reducing unwanted damping to give better feedback to the driver.

Its pretty much déjà vu, similar to Ford’s unveiling of the Ranger pickup a few years back, which shares the Everest’s primary architecture and raised the stakes for the pickup segment, thus leaving all others madly scrambling to catch up.

Ford wisely partnered with Volvo several years back for the excellent 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine, and Land Rover for arguably the best offroad electronic aid, and the Terrain Response Management System—which should theoretically give the all-new Everest the very best in sheer offroad prowess for even the most unskilled and inexperienced of drivers.

Ford raises the bar yet again in the SUV segment with the Everest. The new Everest also boasts the biggest and roomiest in-car cabin space for a seven-seat, pickup-based SUV, with a promise of excellent refinement despite its tough and mach appeal.

Is it the best? Specs-wise, yes. A proper road test in comparison with key rivals will cement its status as the new king of the SUV hill.

With a very wide model variant range, there’s an Everest to suit almost any budget.

WITH an impressive 225 mm of ground clearance, 800-mm water-wading ability and a terrain-specific driving system that tweaks the SUV’s throttle response, transmission, intelligent four-wheel-drive system and traction control for specific road condition, what’s not to love about the all-new Ford Everest?

Safety-conscious buyers would be delighted to learn that this SUV also features roll stability control, electronic stability control, curve control (torque vectoring by braking), blind spot information system and cross traffic alert.

It also has semi-automatic parking that is is designed to help owners of the all-new Everest deal with tight parking space.

Indeed, with the all-new Everest, Ford has truly raised the bar for this type of vehicle (midsize SUV) in design and capability.

The looks are in line with the Ford truck family, an upscale that would compare well even to the Explorer.

Still built with a body-on-frame construction, the Everest seems fit to tackle both Metro Manila’s decrepit roads and, if it takes your fancy, your favorite offroad trail.

The 20-inch alloys with relatively short-profile tires may not seem the best for heavy offroading, but the Everest has a tall 225-mm ground clearance.

Where the Everest will distance itself from its competitors is its use of advanced electronics to improve performance and safety. Ford’s Terrain Management System, pinched from former subsidiary Land Rover, enables the four-wheel-drive system to tackle different types of terrain, including tarmac (normal), gravel/grass, sand, and rock. The control knob adjusts throttle, transmission, four-wheel drive system and traction control.

There’s hill descent control for easy downhill runs, and electronically locking rear differential, with low-range gearbox.

Safety electronics include curve control, designed to maintain control when approaching turns too quickly. There’s also a blind spot warning with cross traffic alert when backing out of parking spaces.

Roll stability control and electronic stability program help keep the Everest right side up and pointed in the correct direction. Parking assist also allows hands-free parallel parking.

Ford’s high riding EcoSport gets its roots from the company’s subcompact, the Fiesta. Like the Fiesta, it is powered by Ford’s 1.5 liter Duratec engine while offering the Fiesta’s handling and maneuverability. It offers all the practicalities of the Fiesta with the bonus of high water wading capacity.

EcoSport Black Edition

The Black Edition, for namesake, gets a black painted grille, ORVM caps, alloy wheels and roof rack. The rest of the car is identical to the regular EcoSport, which comes in six colors Mars Red, Lunar Sky, Ingot Silver, Frozen White, Black Shadow and Candy red.

Interior Features available include a SYNC 1 infotainment system, 6-speaker audio system, EPAS steering with Pull-Drift Compensation and automatic climate control.

Following models of Trailblazer are available in following configurations:

The 2016 Trailblazer features a redesigned front end that comprises of sleeker headlamps with LED DRLs, wider grille and a more aggressive bumper with larger fog lamps. The rest of the Trailblazer is largely identical to the outgoing model.

A more significant facelift is seen inside the 2016 Chevrolet Traiblazer, where it gets an all-new dashboard design that is trimmed with more premium materials. In Brazil, the only grade available is the Trailblazer LTZ, which comes equipped with an 8-inch MyLink infotainment system that offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a slightly updated instrument cluster, and silver accents around the central HVAC vents.

The new Trailblazer also introduces a suite of safety features such as collision warning, lane-change assist, front parking sensors, blind spot warning, tire pressure monitoring and reverse camera with cross-traffic alert. A notable change is the new EPAS system, which should ease maneuverability in cities.
