SUBARU WRX tS SEDAN REVIEW

Image
The Subaru WRX is one of the most popular compact sedans that have been around for a long time now, the first generation made its debut in 1993. Fast forward to 2021, the Japanese automaker released the latest version of the WRX sedan for he 2022 model year and, it wasn't exactly well received like the older generation WRX models. The car caused quite a lot of controversy across the internet mainly because of its design and the lack of a considerable power increase over its predecessor.  Now, having seen the car in person, up close, I can confidently say that it definitely looks better live than it does on pictures.

The Hava H6 HEV here promises to give its buyers a better fuel consumption over the standard H6 and ultimately its rivals. Now that you know the what the H6 HEV is, let's talk about the specifications. The H6 makes use of a 1.5L 4-Cylinder Turbo petrol engine and a battery pack for a combined total power output of 179 kW and 530 Nm of torque. Those are substantially healthy figures if you ask me and if you are into quick accelerations then 8.5 seconds for the H6 HEV is not bad either considering that it's not even a high performance SUV. The claimed combined fuel consumption by Haval stand at 5.2L/100 km, that is quite impressive in this segment and handy in today's fluctuating fuel prices. The ...

Mercedes-Benz's inhouse tuner, Mercedes-AMG have just revealed the all-new AMG version of the W223 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the S63. The car we have all been waiting for? The S63 had been on test since 2020, 2 years of testing. Was the wait worth it? Yes! The new S 63 E-Performance retains the V8 engine just as all its predecessors have been doing but this time with a whooping 802 horsepower or 590 kW, and an earth shattering 1,430 Nm of torque. That is a huge increase from the previous model S63 which had a total power output of 450 kW or 612 horsepower. Power is sent to all the four wheels through the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G Transmission via the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all wheel drive system. Mercedes-AMG claims that the luxury sedan will able to sprint to 100 km/h from a standstill in just 3.3 seconds and go on to reach the electronically governed top speed of 290 km//h, with the optional AMG Driver's package of course. Now, the engine does not make all those enormous power figu...
