Murano features sleek lines The Chatham Voice

The Nissan Murano remains a hot ticket here in Chatham-Kent.

Craig Bullen, general manager at Chatham Nissan, said the Murano is the second-best selling vehicle at the dealership, behind the sporty and compact Nissan Rogue.

He sees the Murano’s success in its mass appeal.

“It’s the design; Nissan’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive System, great overall comfort and superb value for your dollar,” Bullen said. “It has very comfortable seating for long drives.”

He added that 95 per cent of the Muranos sold

by Chatham Nissan are the all-wheel drive ver-

sion, perfect for facing the variable winters Mother Nature throws at us here in Chatham-Kent.

Just because the weather varies here in Chatham-Kent doesn’t mean the smoothness of your ride has to. The second you pull away, the available Nissan Intelligent All-Wheel Drive System turns on, delivering power to both front and rear wheels for improved grip.

Once you’re up to speed, Murano’s All-Wheel Drive efficiently sends the power all up front, and compensates around corners by intuitively transferring power between wheels for enhanced control and traction.

Premium comes standard with the 2018 Murano. The interior will

remind you of the most comfortable room in your home, and the ultra-modern open concept interior inspires conversation.

Passengers ride in fullsized, reclining seats.

There is a host of options to choose from, Bullen said, with popular choices that include blindspot warning system, intelligent cruise control, air-conditioned and/or

Fresh looks abound for 2018 Hyundai models The Chatham Voice

Hyundai’s engineers just might be considered automotive surgeons this year.

They’ve enhanced many of their models for 2018, with some receiving a facelift, while others have all-new design features.

“Almost all of our vehicles will receive a facelift or redesign this year,” Jeremy Derksen, sales consultant with Van Kesteren Hyundai, said. “There are tons of improvements at Hyundai.”

Those include a facelift for the dependable Hyundai Tucson, and complete redesigns for the stylish Sonata, the compact Accent, sporty Veloster and the rugged Santa Fe.

Van Kesteren Hyundai is excited for the new Santa Fe to be revealed later this summer, and the SUV is one of the dealership’s best sellers.

The all-new 2018 Sonata just came out in late 2017.

The sedan received a new body design and a host of new technological advances.

Those include a standard seven-inch touchscreen with a rearview camera (an eight-inch navigational system touchscreen is optional), blind spot detection and lane-change assist, rear cross traffic alert, and even an available driver attention alert system that suggests the driver take a break if signs of fatigue occur.

Many of our vehicles today can utilize Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to sync your smartphone to your vehicle, but Hyundai has gone one step further, as you can start your vehicle remotely and have temperature control through Hyundai’s BlueLink App. With all the new looks and improvements this year, Hyundai has also made a key addition to its lineup, the 2018 Kona, a compact SUV that’s great on the highway or in the urban jungle.

With Kona, driving and parking in tight spaces doesn’t have to be stressful. Enjoy the agile manoeuvrability of a passenger car, and the higher perspective of an SUV.

The sleek look of the new 2018 Hyundai Kona, a compact crossover that’s sure to be at home on the open highway or tight city streets.

Van Kesteren Hyundai expects a great deal of interest in the new SUV, due in part to its excellent price point and some of the top technology on the market.

That includes an available heads-up display, BlueLink, and wireless phone charging.

With new models like the Kona, new body styles and technology, great

price points, and hybrid or outright electric vehicle options (think Ioniq, and soon the Kona and Tucson will have electric options), Hyundai offers something for everyone.

2018 Wrangler stays true to its roots The Chatham Voice

The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL may be the product of a strong redesign, but it certainly stays close to its iconic roots.

Mike Hogue, gener-

al manager at Chatham Chrysler, said the company is celebrating 77 years of Jeeps, dating back to 1941 when the utility 4x4 started serving the needs of the U.S. Army.

A great deal has changed

over the years, but one look at a Jeep Wrangler, and you know exactly what you are smiling at.

“The design has remained faithful to the original for decades,” Hogue said.

The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon can take you pretty much anywhere you want to drive.

The all-new 2018 Wrangler features an upgraded interior, new technology, and improved ride quality. But Jeep has gone several steps further on the improvements.

Jeep now offers a pow-

er-sliding canvas top, which can open at speeds up to 100 km/h. The rear quarter windows pop out as well, ensuring an openair experience without having to remove the entire roof.

The new interior is loaded with technology, including seven- and 8.3inch Uconnect screens, multiple USB connection ports, and features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can live stream music from your smartphone, and talk hands free.

There’s no shortage of power, as the Wrangler comes standard with a 3.6-litre V6 that cranks out 285 horsepower.

Hogue said the Jeep Wrangler has go-anywhere appeal.

“A Wrangler has no limits. There’s nowhere you can’t go. It’s one of the unique vehicles that are designed for the off road,” he said. “It’s freedom to go wherever you want.

You want to go through the bush? Go. You want to cross that stream? Go.”

Having standard 33-inch all-terrain tires, higher fenders, improved crawl ratios, disconnecting sway bars, and locking front and rear differentials – all standard on the 2018 Jeep Rubicon – certainly helps.

“The Rubicon edition is the true off-road edition.

It’s popular with avid Jeep fans. The locking axels put the power where it’s needed most,” Hogue said.

The Wrangler exudes enjoyment, whatever the season.

“It’s a fun vehicle. It’s an open-air vehicle in the summer months,” Hogue said, referring to the ability to remove the windows, the top and even the doors. “You also have the versatility in the winter of the four-by-four. It’s a year-round vehicle.”

To check out the all-new 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL, stop by Chatham Chrysler, your Jeep headquarters in Chatham-Kent, on Richmond Street. Or come see the Wrangler at the Chatham Indoor Auto Show.

Dream On: The 2018 Kia Stinger The Chatham Voice

It turned heads with its

Super Bowl commercial featuring Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, and the

2018 Kia Stinger continues to turn heads here in Chatham-Kent.

Bruce Corcoran/The Chatham Voice

The new 2018 Kia Stinger is a powerful sports sedan that won’t break your wallet.

Mike Weber, general manager at Lally Kia on Richmond Street, said the red Stinger parked in front of the dealership is an attention grabber.

And with good reason.

“I’ve been super excited about this car. I love a sedan with some power.

This vehicle has it all,” Weber said of the Stinger, which has sleek lines reminiscent of European luxury sports sedans.

Only, the Stinger won’t sting your wallet.

The top-of-the-line version of the all-wheel drive sports sedan, with dual-turbo 365-horsepower 3.3-litre engine, is priced under $50,000, much less than comparable European models.

“This car has features you’ll find in BMWs and Audis priced tens of thousands of dollars more,” Weber said. “The Stinger offers incredible value with some great,

great features. It’s an incredible vehicle.”

Did we mention its versatility? It’s a four-door, with a hatchback, meaning there’s room for five, and plenty of space for baggage, with easy access.

“From a golfer’s perspective, it’s easy to get your clubs in and out,” Weber said, something that is made even easier with the power tailgate.

“You just pop it and it lifts right up. For bags and luggage, it’s easy in and easy out.”

Available upgrades include Napa leather interior, air-cooled front seats, wireless cell phone charger, 360-degree monitoring and autonomous emergency braking.

“There isn’t a feature this vehicle doesn’t have.

It even comes with a heads-up display,” Weber said. “I’ve had experience driving with a

heads-up display (where important information is displayed right on the windshield). Your eyes are always focused out in front of you.”

The Stinger is just the latest in head-turning rides from Kia. The company offers quality at a reasonable price.

“The big thing about Kia is that it is not a company that builds cheap cars. It has won the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study for the past two years running,” Weber said. “This is the new Kia per se in terms of putting out high-quality, well-priced vehicles.”

He added the company is more concerned with placing the needs of the customer first.

“We’re not looking to sell cars, we’re looking to gain customers,” Weber said. “We just want an opportunity to showcase the Kia lineup.”

Accord impresses yet again The Chatham Voice

Some fear the future.

Others drive it. Many of those “others” are behind the wheel of a Honda Accord.

The All New 2018 Accord is the North American Car of the Year, and the 2018 Car of the Year, as chosen by members of the Association of Canadian Automobile Journalists (AJAC).

Todd Bennett, general manager at Honda House in Chatham, said winning awards is what the Honda Accord does.

“I don’t know if there is a car that has won more awards,” he said. “It’s been in Car & Driver’s Top 10 a total of 32 times. It’s an impressive car.”

The 2018 has it all, sleek design, fuel economy, performance, and technological advancements.

“The car was completely redesigned this year. It wasn’t a refresh. They did everything right,” Bennett said. “For starters, they made the interior space a bit bigger without making the car that much bigger, and there’s lots of space in the trunk.”

Honda also paid close attention to safety features, Bennett said. Anti-lock brakes, tire pressure sensors, Vehicle Stability Assist, Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, and eight standard airbags are part of your piece of mind.

“Honda designed the car

to dominate the segment, but they always keep in mind safety and performance and fuel economy,” he said. “This car gets great gas mileage and still has lots of power. It’s the drivability. You can feel the difference.”

In terms of new technology, the 2018 Accord features brake mitigation, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring, and even blind spot sensing.

“They’re pretty advanced. A lot of cars will tell you to stop; this car

will actually stop,” he said.

The Accord also has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard, so you can take advantage of handsfree communication, and stream music from your smartphone.

Check out the All-New 2018 Honda Accord and the line of Honda vehicles at Honda House on Richmond Street in Chatham, a family owned dealership that has been serving the needs of Chatham-Kent for 41 years.

2018 Tiguan, a great fit for life in C-K The Chatham Voice

The totally redesigned 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is sure to be a hot seller this year in Canada, and Volkswagen Chatham staff anticipate great interest locally.

Nathan Jenner, general manager of the Keil Drive dealership, said the Tiguan has been redesigned this year.

“It includes all the tech it should have, with a good ride, great dependability and reliability,” he said.

The Tiguan combines unrivalled versatility and fashionable finesse in the perfect blend that’s never bland. Rugged, refined, and just racy enough to raise a few eyebrows along the way.

Did we mention it seats up to seven people?

As for the technology element Jenner mentioned, the Tiguan comes with available lane-departure adaptive cruise control, which can help you maintain a comfortable distance from the car ahead of you, and features automatic braking when traffic slows. And if you are drifting out of your lane, your car will send you a warning in advance.

A must for many Canadians during our cold winters is a remote starter for your vehicle. Jenner said the 2018 Tiguan is the first Tiguan to have this as an available option.

Of course, Bluetooth comes standard on all Tiguans, allowing for easy connectivity for your smartphone for handsfree communication.

Jenner said the Tiguan is

an all-around great vehicle.

“I like the drive of it. I like when you close the doors, you can tell it’s a nice, solidly built vehicle,” he said.

“It’s a great car. My mom drives one.”

The Tiguan is also built right here in North America.

It comes in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options, and fea-

tures Volkswagen’s fouryear/80,000 km comprehensive warranty, which provides great satisfaction and peace of mind.

Jenner said pricing for a Tiguan starts with a base price of about $30,000. A fully loaded version can be yours for just over $40,000.

The team at Volkswagen Chatham is so confident the redesigned Tiguan will be a hot ticket this year that they’ve ramped up their inventory of the utility vehicles.

When you stop by to check out the 2018 Tiguan, take the time to look around Volkswagen Chatham’s redesigned showroom as well.

“We just did a big renovation on it. It’s all open compared to what it used to be,” Jenner said.

“There’s new tile, new glass offices – everything is about full exposure for the customer.

The service department has been relocated to right by the entranceway.

2018 Chatham Indoor Car Show Big options, small price with EcoSport The Chatham Voice

The new 2018 Ford EcoSport is the company’s most affordable crossover, and it’s a vehicle that should soon be seen on the streets of Chatham-Kent.

Jeff Ameel, sales manager for Victory Ford, said the EcoSport is a compact crossover, perfect for this market.

He said crossovers and small SUVs are in high demand in Chatham-Kent.

“Crossovers are hot sellers in C-K. You have more space, and you sit up a little higher. They’re easier to get in and out of,” he said.

With the EcoSport, you get the best of all worlds in the higher riding point and easier access, as well as a tight turning radius

and easier parking than what you’d find in a larger SUV. The EcoSport also exudes technology that makes driving more convenient than ever. BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) can help sense traffic around you. SYNC 3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility offers enhanced voice-recognition capability and an available eight-inch colour LCD touchscreen with swipe and pinch-to-zoom functionality.

Two fast-charging USB ports, two 12-volt outlets and an available 110V outlet keep your devices humming.

The folks at Chatham Mazda love the 2018 Mazda CX-5, and they’re not alone.

For starters, the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) named the 2018 CX-5 as the Best Small Utility Vehicle in the country.

Scott Aarssen, new and used car manager at Chatham Mazda, said local drivers also know a good thing when they see one.

“It’s our best seller by a long shot,” he said of the CX-5. “We get asked about it more than anything else.”

Aarssen called the AJAC accolades the “icing on the cake” for a vehicle that

critics have repeatedly praised.

“It’s just a really solid automobile,” he said. “It sells itself.”

Built with the conviction that strength, intelligence and beauty are one, the CX-5 is the one SUV that you’ll love to drive.

The CX-5 features a multitude of options, including Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring System, LaneKeep Assist, Lane-Departure Warning, hands-free phone communication and audio streaming, heated rear seats and much more. Safety and comfort are paramount.

The CX-5 isn’t the only award winner in the Mazda lineup. In fact, the Mazda 3 and 3 Sport earned

Driving is not always the most eco-friendly activity.

However, there are various ways to enjoy spring road trips without compromising the environment.

• Do not idle your vehicle. When engines are running but cars are not moving, this is referred to as “idling.”

Idling cars might not be moving, but they are still burning fuel, meaning drivers who routinely idle their vehicles are adversely affecting fuel efficiency.

• Take it easy on the road.

Road trips tend to be more enjoyable and are certainly safer when drivers take their time and don’t rush to their destination. And driving slowly happens to be more eco-friendly as well. According to the online automotive resource Edmunds.com, gently gaining speed is much more fuel-efficient
