Range Rover
Today, in a world where most luxury cars do much the same job in the same way, the new Range Rover is an even more exclusive class act. It offers a combination of luxury with dependability, comfort with toughness and elegance with versatility—a marriage of virtues one would be hard to find in a traditional luxury saloon car.
The new car has had 1.75 million man hours invested in it. Every aspect has been re-examined so the car performs better than ever.
Its 4 by 4 abilities are still made of legendary stuff, enabling it to climb out of the most difficult terrain with ease. And it is this extra-terraineous traversing ability that makes the Range Rover extraordinary.
Many facets of the new Range Rover may be familiar but in reality, the new car has practically been re-invented—offering itself as a real alternative to the traditional luxury saloon car.
You drive it, secure in the knowledge that it will be more than equal to the challenges you have chosen. Mountainside or smooth tarmac, sand dune or rocky gully, nothing deters the Range Rover.
With the Range Rover, the end of the road is never the end of the journey. With it, you begin where others are forced to stop.
Comfort can be interpreted in many ways. For some it means sitting back and enjoying the ride. For others—especially those with families—it means driving a car with thoughtfully designed features that provide the highest levels of handling stability. And exactly for these reasons, Nissan had developed the Multi-link Beam Suspension.
This remarkable suspension offers top-flight handling performance thanks to a torsion beam that keeps the rear wheels in firm contact with the road. This means that you can drive with confidence even when the unexpected arises. Like in a rainstorm on a winding road. Where an ordinary suspension would make you wonder about the rear wheels staying glued to the road. Additionally, the exclusive Scott-Russell linkage—which helps reduce body sway—and soft-mounted shock absorbers/bushings provide a remarkably smooth ride while absorbing uncomfortable noise and vibrations.
All things considered, when you buy a car form Nissan, you find that nothing—not even a rainstorm on a winding road—stands between you and the comfort you deserve.
Lincoln Mercury
Lincoln Mercury enters the sport-utility arena with the introduction of the Mercury Mountaineer, a targeted-to-women vehicle based on the Ford Explorer.
The base-level Mountaineer ascends beyond the Explorer by offering a larger standard 5. OL, 210-horsepower V8 engine along with a different automatic all-wheel drive, and suspension tuning for a gentler fide. These are now options for the Explorer as well.
Rolling around on an ice-covered track, the Mountaineer provided a relatively cushy, well-mannered fide. The V8 engine deserves part of the praise. With the larger power-plant, engineers had to lower the engine block—and consequently, the center of gravity—providing more stability. The Mountaineer is based on Ford"s latest sport-utility chassis; a more conventional full-time all-wheel drive system replaces the sometimes-slow-to-react high-tech Control Trac four-wheel drive system in the Explorer. Normally, the Mountaineer"s planetary transfer gear-set delivers 65 percent of engine power to the rear axle and 35 percent, front. In slippery going, a viscous coupling transfers torque to the front or rear axle, as needed. The V8 takes the expected hit on mileage, with 14 cities and 18 highways—compared with Explorer"s 16 and 22, respectively for the V6.
