Toyota RAV4 2021.

Toyota RAV4 2021.

Toyota RAV4 can rightfully be considered the founder of the compact crossover class: the first generation of the car appeared back in 1994!

The abbreviation RAV4 stands for Recreational Active Vehicle — essentially a recreational vehicle, and the four indicates four-wheel drive.

With the format, of course, the Japanese hit the mark — for example, in the Russian market in its segment of D + class crossovers, even at the end of last year, RAV4 is leading by almost a twofold margin from its closest competitors.

Today, with the editors of CarsWeek, we are dealing with the mega-popularity of the Toyota RAV4 using the example of a rather simple Comfort version with an atmospheric gasoline engine and front-wheel drive — the most popular in Russia.

What does he look like

The fifth generation RAV4 suddenly featured a rather brutal design. Unlike the rounded and relatively good-natured-looking predecessors, the crossover bristles with sharp corners.

A ruler was attached to the body and decisively drawn in straight lines — trapezoidal headlights, an aggressive radiator grill, even wheel arches decorated with black plastic linings became angular.

Range Rover SDV8 2021.

It’s no secret that most full-size SUVs are bought from us with heavy fuel engines. However, diesel is good, and diesel V8 is even better! At least the elegant SDV8 Range Rover demonstrates this perfectly.

CarsWeek and I have already driven a gasoline «compressor» V8, and now it’s time to test the diesel version of the British SUV.

And at the same time, admire his amazingly brutal matte black Ligurian Black.

Design

The stylish fourth-generation Range Rover was born in 2012, but it still seems to be completely outdated.

The three-year-old update slightly refreshed the SUV, but, fortunately, it turned out very laconic — by and large, there was nothing to change in it.

Monumental, but graceful, in matte black it looks great — the drivers of neighboring cars and passers-by literally fold their necks.

The only controversial point is the Black Exterior Pack, which paints gloss black letters on the hood and tailgate, radiator grille, mirrors, «gills» on the doors and door handles.

Gloss with obscenities looks well, ambiguous. Plus glossy wheels. Moreover, Range Rover’s option list includes the Shadow Exterior Pack, which paints the same parts in matte black. But this is a matter of taste.

Citroen C5 X 2021.

The French manufacturer Citroen has unveiled its new flagship car, the Citroen C5 X.

The company is positioning the novelty as a mix of the SUV, sedan and station wagon segment.

The visual part of the model is based on the 2016 Citroen CXperience concept with its body in the style of a fastback station wagon.

And the biggest technical innovation was the introduction of the Advanced Comfort active suspension in the C5 X, which, according to the manufacturer, provides comfort like on a “flying carpet”.

By the way, Rolls-Royce uses the same “term” in its advertising campaigns.

The front and rear optics of the Citroen C5 X are made in a V-shape, which is the current corporate standard of the company, which debuted on the C4.

Buick Enclave 2022.

The 2022 Buick Enclave introduced a beautiful new look.
Here comes the 2022 Buick Enclave! That’s all. At least that’s what Buick claims, which didn’t provide any information other than these two photos. We know this is a 2022 model and we know it will go on sale «later this year.»

The visual changes are pretty obvious on their own. This is similar to what we would expect from a mid-cycle update. Buick gave it a brand new front and back.

However, we like the new look the most. This grille gives it a look it lacked before, and the horizontal slashes found in the middle of the Buick logo are a nice touch.

The new LED headlights have been significantly reduced and tucked neatly under the bonnet. Even the lower bumper adds grace with flowing lines and a beautiful, almost sporty finish.

Nothing much changes in the middle, but the sharp LED taillights are eye-catching. They are still connected by a center trim, but it has been darkened and massaged for a cleaner look.

Buick also looks like it went for a hidden exhaust design — it used to have a visible dual tailpipe exit. The last obvious change is the new discs, painted in a dark color.
