torque vectoring standard

Metroland Media ESTEREL, PQ: In a bold marketing move, Mazda will make torque vectoring standard across its entire model line-up, starting with the 2017 Mazda3 sedan and hatchback. Mazda calls it G-Vectoring Control (GVC) that essentially blends braking, steering and acceleration for a more precise and stable feel to the driver and passengers. The result of eight years of development, GVC is billed as the “world’s first technology to adjust engine torque in response to steering inputs in order to control these forces in a unified way and optimize the vertical loading of each tire to realize smooth and efficient vehicle behaviour.” GVC takes in steering inputs and shifts torque as needed while also reducing engine torque, if required, resulting in a more linear response that feels more stable to the senses. Mazda did years of studying the human body and found our heads move a bit side to side and back and forth when we walk, but our brains are wired to cancel this out. When it comes to driving, Mazda engineers found the use of GVC quells body roll and pitch and yaw and eliminated much of the unconscious driver muscle corrections, making for a much more relaxing ride as well as on-centre

The 2017 Mazda3 (GT Sport model shown) gets detail exterior changes such as a lower and wider grille and trimmer, plus cat’s eye-like headlights.

precision that is greatly increased. Also available with GVC is Mazda’s suite of driver and safety aids called i-Activsense, that includes Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC), Smart Brake Support (SBS), Advanced Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) with pedestrian recognition, Lane-keep Assist System (LAS), Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR), Rear Cross Traffic

Alert (RCTA) and Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM). If this sounds like the ingredients for semi-autonomous driving, you’re correct. It only lacks one or two technologies such as low speed movement acquisition to be truly driverless. My wife owns a 2016 Mazda3 GS hatch, so driving the new car with GVC was a great compari-

son. In the forests north of Montreal all alight in autumn colours, the roads snaked through the Laurentians where steering and braking inputs required one’s full attention. Driving the GVC 2017 required less steering effort than my wife’s vehicle, plus I could actually feel Turn to page W6

Facing the Challenger The deja vu was coming through. Sliding into the driver’s seat of the 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT brought to mind the lineup launch two years ago, when the latest modifications to the third generation Challenger were first revealed. New models, new technologies and new tweaks were unveiled at the time, highlighting a muscle car lineup ranging from SXT entry models to the newest Hellcat hotrod, with prices starting at just over $30K and bumping up to more than $75K. The dizzying array of Challenger choices includes four powertrains - a 305 hp 3.6-litre V6, a 375 hp 5.7-litre Hemi V8, a 485 hp 6.4-litre Hemi V8 and the maniac power of the 707 hp 6.2-litre supercharged Hemi Hellcat V8, with all the engines matched to varying versions of standard eight-speed automatics or optional six-speed manual transmissions. There are Scat Packs, premium groups, options and accessories galore to personalize those choices even further. I don’t really remember too many specifics revealed during that launch two years ago because they all seemed to blur as we ran through slalom courses, dragstrip acceleration bursts and circuit lapping at Portland International Raceway. So now, it was time to check that sense of deja vu at the door because this wasn’t a racetrack session. This was a very practical test in town, focusing on just one flavour of Dodge Challenger. Let’s start with a walk-around, admiring the lines and curves of a car that is arguably the most faithful to its muscle car heritage, with a design that pays tribute to the storied 1971 Challenger. Founded on a platform shared with the Charger and Chrysler 300, the Challenger is the biggest “pony car”, significantly larger than Turn to page W5

Four-door muscle car - even with a V6 Lorne Drury

Metroland Media “A Mercedes-AMG SLC 43? I thought it was an SLK,” asked a neighbour, as he eyed the bright Fire Opal red sports car sitting in the driveway. Well, he wasn’t far off as the SLC 43 really is the SLK, with a new name and a few updates for the 2017 model year. The SLC 43 marks the entry point into the roadster lineup for AMG, the Mercedes-Benz performance arm, headquartered in Affalterbach, Germany. It is the first V6 model from AMG with the new nomenclature. In this case, it gets the ‘C’ in its name as it is most closely aligned with the C-Class lineup. No matter what the name, the SLC continues a tradition that the SLK launched two decades ago. Since then, more than 670,000 units have been sold worldwide. For 2017, two versions of the SLC are available in Canada, representing the refresh of the SLK generation that debuted in the 2012 model year. The “starter” is the SLC 300, while our top-ofthe-line AMG SLC 43 test car boasts a 3.0-litre DOHC biturbo V6 engine, making 362 hp and 384 lb/ft of torque at 2,000 rpm. It is mated with a nine-speed automatic (9G-TRONIC sports transmission), complete with paddle shifters. The less-powerful SLC 300 has a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 245 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque. The 5.5-litre V8 powered SLK 55 AMG and 3.5-litre V6 from last year have been dropped for the 2017 model year. Outside, the SLC’s sheet metal has a fresher, more rounded look with a new front fascia, designed for an emphasis on width. From the side, 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels are a distinctive feature. At the rear are dual chrome exhaust pipes and a chrome strip at the bottom of the apron. Perhaps the defining feature of the SLC is its retractable hardtop that neatly stows in a compartment in the trunk. You can even open or close the roof when the car is in motion at speeds up to 40 km/h — a benefit if a rainstorm comes up quicker than anticipated. The trunk is on the smallish side but still generous for this segment, featuring 335 litres of cargo space with the roof up and 225 with it down.

SPECS AT A GLANCE BODY STYLE: two-seat sports car with retractable hardtop DRIVE METHOD: front-engine, rear-wheel drive ENGINE: 3.0-litre DOHC 24-valve biturbo V6 (362 hp, 384 lb/ft of torque) with nine-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters FUEL ECONOMY: N/A CARGO: 335 litres with top up, 225 with top stowed PRICE: $70,900, as tested $80,500 WEBSITE: mercedes-benz.ca

The new-for-2017 AMG SLC 43 picks up where the SLK left off in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. This year’s AMG offering comes with a 3.0-litre biturbo V6 that produces 362 hp. Our tester also had the optional Magic Sky Control roof ($2,800), a glass roof that can alter the amount of light allowed in the car. You can switch from dark to transparent with the touch of a button. A cool, but costly feature, that does eliminate the need for a sunshade and provides an open-air feeling in the cockpit. Starting at $70,900, our test vehicle had nearly $10K in options, taking the as-tested price up to $80,500. Included was the $5,600 Premium Package which adds an upgraded Harmon Kardon surround sound audio system, rear-view camera, navigation system, Apple CarPlay, parking assist, SiriusXM satellite radio and other features. The other major option was Distance Pilot Distronic ($1,200), Mercedes-Benz’s version of advanced cruise control that maintains the distance from the vehicle in front in stop-andgo traffic. Even at $80K, this AMG-lite model offers good value for the dollar. While engine size is down from the 5.5-litre V8 in last year’s SLK 55 AMG, it does provide the buyer with more than decent performance in a grand touring roadster, doing the 0-100 km/h sprint in 4.7 seconds, according to the manufacturer. This is just a tenth of a second slower than last year’s V8. For most, however, the V6 will provide plenty of power with the added benefit of better fuel economy. From a personal standpoint, I find the new design the best yet for an SL model. It is clean, modern and sleek, with the top up or down. Inside, the cabin has also been refreshed with new multi-function sport steering wheel, updated instrument cluster with the same seven-inch screen as on the C-Class sedan and more infotainment features. The black Nappa leather seats with red

The Charger lineup’s standard 3.6-litre V6 engine gets a slight Rallye Group bump up in power to an impressive 300 hp and 264 lb/ft of torque rating. stitching are extremely comfortable and nicely bolstered. Out on the road, the SLC 43 is a treat to pilot, particularly when the roads become crooked and the traffic becomes lighter. The ride is firm thanks to the AMG sports suspension, yet composed, and with the top down on a cool evening, the optional Airscarf (part of the Premium Package) is a treat, with warm air wafting from vents in the headrests. While more of a cruiser than a racetrack performer, the AMG version of the SLC has an

intoxicating exhaust note when you select a performance-oriented driving mode such as Sport+ from the Dynamic Select system. Other selections are Eco, Comfort, Sport or Individual, all designed to adjust throttle, shift and steering response on the vehicle, all available with the touch of a finger. All in all, the Mercedes-AMG SLC 43 offers an exciting design with excellent drivability and a touch of performance to boot. And best of all, with its retractable hardtop, this is a sports car with four-season capability.

Harry Walker

Like any predator in the automotive food chain, the SRT does not respect weakness, but with a firm hand (and firm clutch leg), you soon tame the power shifting rhythm. The clutch take-up is forgiving and, combined with the Hemi’s massive torque, prevents, any miscues or embarrassing stalls. In town, it’s easy enough to allow the firstto-fourth skip shift to come into play or skip shifts yourself and even swan around the burbs in sixth gear, basically idling at 1,000 rpm. In fact, in top gear, the revs barely budge past the 2,000 rpm mark until you’re pushing well past 130 km/h or so. Yes, there is a fuel pump penalty to pay for all this V8 fun, even with the FuelSaver Multi-Displacement System and a prudent reigning in of the hormones. High-octane 91 gas is recommended. Fuel economy is rated at 16.8/10.4L/100km (city/hwy) but my average came in more realistically at 15.2L/100km (comb) during 500 or so kilometres of mixed driving. There are rumours of a future lighter and

Queensway S.

Continued from W1 Mustang and Camaro, a fact that does impact handling comparisons. On the other hand, there is a loyal constituency that embraces its plus-sized dimensions and the benefits of a truly useable back seat and suitcase-swallowing trunk. Our tester stands out in a exuberant shade of Go Mango, a shade initially reserved for Hellcat models but recently released across the Challenger and Charger lineups. I was surprised at the approval rate of this eye-catching orangish colour, inspiring waves and smiles from other drivers, even an unexpected thumbs-up from an Audi owner, for Pete’s sake. A variety of racing stripe styles are available and the wide stripe running the length of our tester leads the eye down a longish, power-bulged and scooped hood that seems to swing through the corners like a speedboat prow, carving curves smoothly along the road. This is the SRT 392, picked from the upper echelon of trim levels, a penultimate performer just one slot below the halo-car Hellcat. Which might lead some to point it out as a second-best alternative, a purchase reduced to “hey, guess you couldn’t afford a Hellcat, huh?” But the Challenger lineup’s graduated trim levels allow customers to mix and match their needs and desires. And the SRT choice ($57,495), saves a significant chunk of change compared to the Hellcat ($76,445), perfect for performance fans who need to balance a budget against brute force. And what are you gonna do with 707 hp anyway? Frankly, even the SRT’s 485 hp and 475 lb/ft of torque feels like more than enough, although the visceral thrill of the sound and feel of that power makes for a pure adrenaline rush, from the growling moan of initial ignition to the roaring acceleration g-forces, stuffing you into the seat back. The optional TREMEC TR-6060 six-speed manual gearbox just adds to the ticking time bomb sense of potential mayhem, the power pulsing up your left leg as you hold down the strong twin-disc clutch.

on GT model). I drove both transmissions and found the manual had long throws for a Mazda, but my one beef was with the clutch that had all of the pressure plate bite at the top of the pedal travel. The auto was just fine and didn’t differ from my wife’s 2016. Braking on the new Mazda3 is commendable, with the pedal just firm enough and easy to modulate, which came in handy more than once on the blind switchbacks on the drive route. On the automatic transmission models, all trim levels come with a “Sport” button just to the left of the shifter that enhances engine and transmission response. Also offered on automatics is the i-ELOOP regenerative braking system — now a standalone option. For 2017 Mazda revised the front and rear damper structure making it tauter along with new front stabilizer bushings. My co-driver, who occasionally drives too fast unless admonished, gave it his best with the GVC soaking up whatever he had to give. Mazda has made some subtle, but effective, exterior design changes, starting with

a bigger and lower grille treatment and even more cat-like highlights. At the rear, some of the character lines have been smoothed out for a more rounded look, with the black lower valance panel practically eliminated. Inside there were detail changes to the gauge cluster, steering wheel and panel trim but the most noticeable is a new heads-up display that is now in colour with more information displayed. Cargo volume on the sedan is 350 litres. On the hatchback, cargo is 572 litres with the back seat up and 1,334 litres folded. Pricing is also big news, with the base Mazda3 sedan with GVC and manual transmission starting at $15,900. The mid-range GS starts at $20,300 and the toptrim GT starts at $24,000. For a hatchback, or Sport as Mazda calls it, add $1,000. Above all, the Mazda3 with its improved handling still retains what it calls the “Soul of a Sportscar”.

Thursday, October 20, 2016

Honda shows 2017 CR-V crossover Honda has pulled the wraps off the allnew, fifth-generation CR-V. The completely redesigned and reengineered 2017 CR-V, going on sale this winter, boasts bold new styling, a more premium interior, the model’s first-ever turbocharged engine and a host of new features and technologies aimed at maintaining CR-V’s status as a leader in the highly popular compact CUV segment. The new CR-V styling heads in a fresh new direction with an aggressive attitude, thanks to crisp and sharp front-end design elements, aggressive stylized headlights surrounded by a wing-shaped LED DRL array on all trims, and wide, muscular fenders. The long hood, longer wheelbase, short rear overhang and dual exhausts give the new CR-V a more sophisticated and athletic presence. The CR-V’s new windswept front end appearance includes signature Honda LED headlights (Touring trim), a Honda-first Automatic Shutter Grille System that lowers aerodynamic drag, uprated aluminum alloy wheel sizes to 17 or 18 inches on all trims and narrower A-pillars for improved visibility.

The 2017 CR-V in higher trims will feature CR-V’s first ever turbocharged engine, a more powerful and fuel-efficient 1.5-litre DOHC, direct injected and turbocharged in-line four-cylinder powerplant rated at 190 hp. Entry and mid-level trims will be powered by a 2.4-litre DOHC, direct-injected i-VTEC engine, and both engines will be mated to a smooth shifting and sporty continuously variable transmission (CVT) with Honda G-Shift control logic. The all-new body and chassis design in the 2017 CR-V provides more agile and confident handling, greater refinement, additional ground clearance and superior overall versatility. Its front MacPherson strut and rear multilink suspension utilize specially tuned lowfriction dampers, with both FWD and AWD models including tubular front and solid rear stabilizer bars that promote quick turn-in and flatter cornering. Dual-pinion, variable ratio Electric Power Steering (EPS) also contributes to the CR-V’s direct and satisfying steering feel. — Metroland Wheels
