Posted by Admin in jaguar on Tuesday, July 21, 2009
In 2008, Jaguar renewed version of the X-type. It is not an entirely new model, but an update of that was for sale. The amendments, which figure by 500 Jaguar components, mainly affect their looks, both outside and within the passenger compartment.

Regarding the range of engines, there are no changes except that the diesel engine 2.2 D can now be combined with an automatic gearbox and six-speed sequential management function. This combination also includes the particulate filter to reduce a portion of polluting emissions, now the engine is 146 hp instead of 155.

In general, the Jaguar X-Type is a car is comfortable and well cushioned their occupants. Its occupant is not as spacious as other models of its size, but remarkable for finished better than average.

Jaguar X-Type
The Jaguar X-Type is available with two body, and family saloon, and four engines: two petrol with 196 or 230 hp and two diesel of 131 or 155 hp (146 hp with a particulate filter). Diesel-engine versions are front traction; of the total gasoline have traction.

There is also no significant developments in equipment that could have except for the improvements in the Bluetooth connection to mobile phones and ultrasonic sensors in the system helps the Jaguar X-Type park, which now are smaller.

Inside, on the carrier, there are new coatings (wood "Rosewood", chrome or metal tungsten ') for some elements, such as ventilation outlets. The seats can be upholstered in leather and fabric or leather completely. They are new indicators of speed and engine speed.
Jaguar X-Type
There are materials in the carrier with good presence and design details that give it an elegant look with some adjustments for improvement, as the union of the ceiling lights in front of the upholstery of the roof, or controls with a poor touch on a car of this price.

There are no controls hidden from view or difficult to operate. It can be improved the position of the browser screen, which is somewhat low. This screen also serves to handle various functions of air-conditioning, the stereo or phone.

In front, the width is not large and elbows driver and passenger can bother. The driver's seat is placed in a low position, there is good support for the left foot and the area where the console hits or supports the right leg is padded.
Jaguar X-Type
For a normal driver there is no space problem, a very high you'll come longitudinal seat less than in other cars. Some of those who have led them bother the bottom of the steering column. For the interior width and the waist line is that the Jaguar X-Type will be more pleasant for drivers who prefer to feel close to the body that those who prefer much space on all sides (but do not use that space).
Jaguar X-Type
In the rear seats, three people fit worse than in other cars, because it is not very wide (136 cm) and because the transmission tunnel is voluminous. Two it can go well, if people are not very high, has less legroom than other cars. The relationship with the ceiling height is enough, but the big pitch of the windows makes the top edge is near the head.
Jaguar X-Type
The trunk has a normal volume in a car of this size, 452 l. Its background is not completely flat, there is a "step", protected by a piece of plastic. The rear support can reduce or entirely by unequal parties (optionally), but the sidewalk is fixed.
Jaguar X-Type
The system of silent fans and you can avoid drafts, provided that no two people traveling in front and are running the central aerators. If you disconnect the ventilation system is not air (which is in recirculation), but it is possible to open it and that no outside air to operate the fan. Visibility is good in all respects, in part because the trunk is not very high and the uprights are fine. The headlights, however, not uniformly birth.
Jaguar X-Type
There are few cars on the size of the Jaguar X-Type having their agility and, in turn, are so comfortable. Typically, they are agile at the expense of a firm suspension that hurts a little comfort (the MAZDA6 or a BMW 3 Series), by contrast, are very comfortable that they are less agile (a Toyota Avensis or a Renault Laguna).
Jaguar X-Type
The suspension of the Jaguar X-Type leaves the body has extensive vertical movements, both rocking and pitching, but despite this, follows the instructions of the driver with ease. While not having the accuracy and reactions of a BMW 3 Series, the Jaguar X-Type does support the changes quickly and is sensitive to the actions of the accelerator and brake.
Jaguar X-Type
As the suspension is a very large absorption capacity, you can drive on roads in poor condition without which the reactions of the Jaguar X-Type will suffer without the occupants are shaken violently.

Lexus LS 460
Posted by Admin in Lexus on Thursday, July 16, 2009
The Lexus LS 460 is a luxury car for tourism that is available with a V8 gasoline engine and maximum power of 381 hp.
2008 Lexus LS 460
Lexus LS 460
Like previous generations of Lexus LS (this is the fourth), it is a model that, overall, is the same level as the best luxury saloons and, in some respects, above. The main difference from this generation with regard to the above is that its dynamic qualities are closer to those of the best.
Lexus LS 460
The Lexus LS 460 has always been comfortable in the broadest sense-which encompasses facets such as suspension, noise or air conditioning-and, therefore, highly recommended for those who occupy the rear seats. This generation also has agility and a response to throttle that can also make very satisfactory for anyone ready to drive and appreciate these characteristics.
Lexus LS 460
There is another car more than five metres in length and power like that cost less than this Lexus. A BMW 750i costs € 94,300, a Mercedes-Benz S 500, € 100,950. The nearest is an Audi A8 4.2 FSI Quattro Tiptronic (89,480 €).
Lexus LS 460
The Lexus is not only more affordable than the rest but also its range of equipment is more abundant. If the same, the difference in price compared with cars above increases.
Lexus LS 460
The two most expensive versions (ambassador and President) have some elements of equipment focused on entertainment and comfort of passengers. Therefore, decide which version is more interesting in each case only based on taste or disbursement involved, should be done depending on whether the car was purchased to drive or travel in their rear seats.
Lexus LS 460
A low level of noise insulation that gets the air suspension and comfort they provide their seats, makes the Lexus LS 460 a car highly recommended for travel, mainly for roads.
Lexus LS 460
In town, despite its large size, it is very cumbersome to manage because it revolves little space (it has the same turning radius of an Opel Astra 5-door), to exterior mirrors provide good visibility and the system helps the camera and rear parking proximity sensors, the device park the car automatically is striking, but not useful. This is the Lexus LS 460 with a high level of active safety, partly because of the excellent performance of VDIM stability control.
Lexus LS 460
It has air bags front, side and front knee, and shade for outdoor spaces; rear side airbags are only in the two most expensive versions. This generation of the Lexus LS 460 is the first that can have two versions of bodywork: normal or elongated.
Lexus LS 460
The normal version measuring 5,029 mm in length and elongated version, 5,151. These 122 mm difference in length also exist in the wheelbase (2,969 mm and 3,091, respectively). The width and height are the same in both cases: 1,875 and 1,476 mm.
Lexus LS 460
With these dimensions, the Lexus LS 460 is one of the cars of this type of smaller, both in the normal variation in the elongated. In addition, the norm is that the difference between normal and elongated version is greater: that's in all bodies of two cars older than 5 m, except in the Volkswagen Phaeton.
Lexus LS 460
The Lexus LS 460 car is a reasonably broad view of its external dimensions, something that will appreciate mainly occupants of the rear seats.
Lexus LS 460
The front seats are really comfortable. They have regulatory power several functions: distance at the wheel, height and tilt of the sidewalk, seat-back, head height and lumbar support, the driver can also increase the length of the sidewalk, something that most drivers appreciate stature.
Lexus LS 460
The seat belt is adjusted in height through a switch. Unless the latter switch and the memories, which are at the door panel, the rest are hidden on the side of the seat and we must handle them blindly.
Lexus LS 460
Lexus LS 460 has not used a box with buttons like the one with the GS model on the left of the steering wheel.
Lexus LS 460
Access to the rear seats is good, with an angle of opening the door enough, although it is slightly affected by the collapse of the roof in the final part, which requires crouch back longer than desired.
Lexus LS 460
The Lexus LS 460 is approved to carry three passengers behind, but thought to be two. This is true for the way that has the bench-with a highlight in the central square, a space that subtracts the transmission tunnel at the foot width and because it is not generous given the width outside the car.
Lexus LS 460
If only two people occupy the rear seats, will sit comfortably thanks to the comfort provided by filling the seats and the available space lengthwise. Depending on the equipment, the Lexus LS 460 accounts various elements that enhance comfort for rear passengers.
Lexus LS 460
In the central armrest there are various controls related to the comfort of the occupants of the rear seats: climate control and regulation of the seats, climate control independently for each side, controls the sound equipment and a remote control to manage the rear screen and the DVD player.
Lexus LS 460
Thus, the passenger side rear seats have buttons to move its part of the sidewalk forward (to do this support reclines backwards simultaneously), can articulate the upper half of the back or vary the height of the head. At each door there are few buttons to memorize a position. If the occupier of one of two seats opened the door of his hand, the seat (both bench as a backup) returned to the starting position. Thus, there is space to lift the legs to the outside is the largest possible (this feature can be canceled).
Lexus LS 460
In addition, there are two switches on the left side of the front seat right to advance this seat and leave more space for a passenger who is behind it. Those two buttons are accessible to both the driver and for the occupant of the rear seat.
Lexus LS 460
The commanders of the air conditioning of the rear seats can deliver airflow by the four vents that each rear seat (one on the roof, another central figure in knee height, one in the center console and in very large feet) in an independent manner on the square left and right. You can also select a different temperature for each side; the airflow is the same in both places but is independent of who is in the front seats.
Lexus LS 460
In the roof there is a large retractable screen that is operated from a remote control that there are stored inside the armrest in the rear or from the touchscreen front.
Lexus LS 460
Passengers of the rear seats can view the same information that appears on the touchscreen front, DVD movies, connect a video source additional (connectors are in the drawer that is beneath the front armrest) or operate the sound equipment ( something that can also do with the controls and who also have monochrome screen in the armrest). They can choose to hear the sound across the 19 speakers of the car or through wireless headphones (which does not come with the car).
Lexus LS 460
After the hole left by the rear armrest in the back there is a small refrigerated compartment with space to store some cans of soda. On the roof, in front of each of the two side rear seats there is a folding mirror and illuminated.
Lexus LS 460
All doors have an automatic system that ends the closure if they are not properly closed. The trunk lid also has an automatic mechanism that is activated from inside, from the remote control or from the push is on the very top (on tuition).
Lexus LS 460
The instrument panel offers a wealth of information and is readable, both day and night. All materials are lining of the quality that is expected in a car of this type (handholds of the roof are covered partially leather) and adjustments are very good (as an example, there is a rubber gasket used to adjust completely Alcantara upholstery that covers the roof with the windshield).
Lexus LS 460
The Lexus LS 460 is one of the most desirable cars to travel by everything that is related to comfort and its dynamic qualities. It is silent, the gear changes occur smoothly and the suspension absorbs with great effectiveness irregularities that may have on the asphalt.
Lexus LS 460
The suspension has a variable damping system with three modes: normal, sport and comfort. There is a clear difference between the last two can be seen in the vertical journey of the body, wider at Comfort, and absorptive capacity, more limited in Sport. He almost always used the program Comfort, because it harms the ability dynamics of the car and it clearly benefited from the comfort.
Lexus LS 460
In roads slow that it may be advisable to use the Sport mode, which is always going to move at a rate high, because the body moves less.
Lexus LS 460
The combination of V8 engine with automatic gearbox eight forward speeds makes the Lexus LS 460 has a very good response to accelerator under any circumstances.
Lexus LS 460
For the smoothness and noise that they feel at home, we must pay close attention to see if it is in fourth, eighth or in any of the intermediate gears. A 120 km / h in fourth tour of the engine speed 4,075 rpm and, in eighth, to 1,905 rpm; noise that is heard in the passenger compartment is low anyway.
Lexus LS 460
If, at that speed, the driver steps on depth because it requires all acceleration that could give the car, change down to third from eighth almost as quickly as from fourth.
Lexus LS 460
The change has two modes of operation, one fully automatic and another that serves to retain the car, because this will select the highest gear in which it wants to move. In case of further accelerating after reaching the maximum regime, the change happens automatically to a higher gear even bigger than the one selected.
Lexus LS 460
In fully automatic mode change always select the top gear as possible. Thus, it is possible to move to 90 mph with the engine at just over 1,300 rpm, for the benefit of consumption and acoustic comfort. With the development that takes into the eighth way, this car would reach 403 mph if the scheme would achieve maximum power.
Lexus LS 460
Second, when the engine runs on retention (to lift the foot on the accelerator highway, for example) there are times when the switchboard has to inject fuel to the engine is not cale, as the box geared progress longest possible and the engine speed can be very low, if the change reduced a relationship, the engine speed would be higher and there was no need to spend fuel.
Lexus LS 460
The touch of electric address is reasonably good. It has a variable reduction ratio (with the same turn of the wheel, slowly wheels turn more). In fast roads such as highways, we need turn the wheel over what one expects to initiate the turn.
Lexus LS 460
The brakes have stopped the car at a distance normal. If you are going at a rapid pace for a slow road, it costs to get used to touch pedal requires doing more force for slowing down the normal (with intensity) the car.
Lexus LS 460
The engine of the Lexus LS 460 is eight cylinders in V to 90 degrees, with aluminum block and cylinder heads and measures 94.0 x 83.0 mm, giving 4,608 cm ³. The compression ratio is 11.8 to 1. Its maximum output is 381 hp at 6,400 rpm. The maximum torque is extraordinarily high for a gasoline engine atmospheric: 493 Nm at 4,100 rpm (107 Nm per litre displacement).
Lexus LS 460
There are two injectors per cylinder, one in the chamber and another in the collector, therefore, is an engine with direct injection and indirect always sometimes.
Lexus LS 460
It has four valves per cylinder and two camshafts in each cylinder head, moved by chain, and a distribution system variable VVT-i very innovative. In the intake camshaft, there is an electric motor to adjust the phase, instead of the hydraulic system that lead all drives phase.
Lexus LS 460
The advantage of the electrical system (VVT-iE, intelligent Variable Valve Timing Electric) is that it can operate when the hydraulic can not do: with the engine cold and a regime less than 1,000 rpm. According to Lexus LS 460, this system can operate whatever the regime and the temperature of the engine, with a speed of 50 degrees per second when delays and 150 degrees per second when moving.
Lexus LS 460
The system of admission varies in two phases, which varies the length of the trail that makes the air in the collector through an electrical device.
The cooling system water leads the first part of the exhaust of the butts and then to block, so that the warming is more uniform.
Lexus LS 460
The gearbox has eight speeds forward and one backward. Nevertheless, it has a size similar to the previous transmission speeds that had six in the Lexus LS 460. According to Lexus LS 460, is a 41 percent faster than that box.
Lexus LS 460
The opening of the case (relation between the top gear and shortest) is 5.6, is greater than the ZF six-speeds that are the Audi A8 4.2 or the BMW 750i, and similar to that of Mercedes-Benz leads the S 500. The seventh speed Lexus LS 460 is equivalent to sixth in the first two models cited, in relation to these models, the Lexus LS 460 has more relationships closed until the seventh and also a march of relief.
Lexus LS 460
The S 500 has a box even more open than the Lexus LS 460 (6.0); therefore, are underway between the jumps bigger. The main difference is the jump between third and fourth, that the Lexus LS 460 is more closed: 1.3 to 1, 4 (the more open is the jump, plus the engine speed drops to switch to a higher gear).
Lexus LS 460
The suspension of the Lexus LS 460 has variable height docks with tires and shock absorbers hardness variable. The height can be varied at two levels: one for all conditions and a higher than could facilitate access or face a ramp very inclined, for example.
Lexus LS 460
The variation of hardness of the springs has three programs (normal, comfort and sport), the control system can intervene in whatever springs to reduce body movements (rocking and pitching).
Lexus LS 460
It has a parallelogram suspension of deformable in the two axes. The striker has two pairs of independent arms overlapping, with a design similar to the Audi A8. Behind has five arms between cross and oblique, such as Mercedes-Benz Class S.
Lexus LS 460
The assistance of management makes an electric motor of 46 V (amending voltage electrical installation). This engine is also inducing the turn of the steering wheel in functions such as assistance in emergency maneuvers or warning by involuntary change lanes.
Lexus LS 460
The brakes are electro (such as the Toyota Prius). Although there is a hydraulic connection between the pedal and the brakes (which operate in the event of failure of the system), which makes when the driver steps on the pedal is to give a signal that the system evaluates, to apply pressure braking properly. It takes 357 mm front discs and 335 mm behind; claws are monoblock in the two axles, four-piston front and two behind.

In roads slow that it may be advisable to use the Sport mode, which is always going to move at a rate high, because the body moves less.
Lexus LS 460
The combination of V8 engine with automatic gearbox eight forward speeds makes the Lexus LS 460 has a very good response to accelerator under any circumstances.
Lexus LS 460
For the smoothness and noise that they feel at home, we must pay close attention to see if it is in fourth, eighth or in any of the intermediate gears. A 120 km / h in fourth tour of the engine speed 4,075 rpm and, in eighth, to 1,905 rpm; noise that is heard in the passenger compartment is low anyway.
Lexus LS 460
If, at that speed, the driver steps on depth because it requires all acceleration that could give the car, change down to third from eighth almost as quickly as from fourth.
Lexus LS 460
The change has two modes of operation, one fully automatic and another that serves to retain the car, because this will select the highest gear in which it wants to move. In case of further accelerating after reaching the maximum regime, the change happens automatically to a higher gear even bigger than the one selected.
Lexus LS 460
In fully automatic mode change always select the top gear as possible. Thus, it is possible to move to 90 mph with the engine at just over 1,300 rpm, for the benefit of consumption and acoustic comfort. With the development that takes into the eighth way, this car would reach 403 mph if the scheme would achieve maximum power.
Lexus LS 460
Second, when the engine runs on retention (to lift the foot on the accelerator highway, for example) there are times when the switchboard has to inject fuel to the engine is not cale, as the box geared progress longest possible and the engine speed can be very low, if the change reduced a relationship, the engine speed would be higher and there was no need to spend fuel.
Lexus LS 460
The touch of electric address is reasonably good. It has a variable reduction ratio (with the same turn of the wheel, slowly wheels turn more). In fast roads such as highways, we need turn the wheel over what one expects to initiate the turn.
Lexus LS 460
The brakes have stopped the car at a distance normal. If you are going at a rapid pace for a slow road, it costs to get used to touch pedal requires doing more force for slowing down the normal (with intensity) the car.
Lexus LS 460
The engine of the Lexus LS 460 is eight cylinders in V to 90 degrees, with aluminum block and cylinder heads and measures 94.0 x 83.0 mm, giving 4,608 cm ³. The compression ratio is 11.8 to 1. Its maximum output is 381 hp at 6,400 rpm. The maximum torque is extraordinarily high for a gasoline engine atmospheric: 493 Nm at 4,100 rpm (107 Nm per litre displacement).
Lexus LS 460
There are two injectors per cylinder, one in the chamber and another in the collector, therefore, is an engine with direct injection and indirect always sometimes.
Lexus LS 460
It has four valves per cylinder and two camshafts in each cylinder head, moved by chain, and a distribution system variable VVT-i very innovative. In the intake camshaft, there is an electric motor to adjust the phase, instead of the hydraulic system that lead all drives phase.
Lexus LS 460
The advantage of the electrical system (VVT-iE, intelligent Variable Valve Timing Electric) is that it can operate when the hydraulic can not do: with the engine cold and a regime less than 1,000 rpm. According to Lexus LS 460, this system can operate whatever the regime and the temperature of the engine, with a speed of 50 degrees per second when delays and 150 degrees per second when moving.
Lexus LS 460
The system of admission varies in two phases, which varies the length of the trail that makes the air in the collector through an electrical device.
The cooling system water leads the first part of the exhaust of the butts and then to block, so that the warming is more uniform.
Lexus LS 460
The gearbox has eight speeds forward and one backward. Nevertheless, it has a size similar to the previous transmission speeds that had six in the Lexus LS 460. According to Lexus LS 460, is a 41 percent faster than that box.
Lexus LS 460
The opening of the case (relation between the top gear and shortest) is 5.6, is greater than the ZF six-speeds that are the Audi A8 4.2 or the BMW 750i, and similar to that of Mercedes-Benz leads the S 500. The seventh speed Lexus LS 460 is equivalent to sixth in the first two models cited, in relation to these models, the Lexus LS 460 has more relationships closed until the seventh and also a march of relief.
Lexus LS 460
The S 500 has a box even more open than the Lexus LS 460 (6.0); therefore, are underway between the jumps bigger. The main difference is the jump between third and fourth, that the Lexus LS 460 is more closed: 1.3 to 1, 4 (the more open is the jump, plus the engine speed drops to switch to a higher gear).
Lexus LS 460
The suspension of the Lexus LS 460 has variable height docks with tires and shock absorbers hardness variable. The height can be varied at two levels: one for all conditions and a higher than could facilitate access or face a ramp very inclined, for example.
Lexus LS 460
The variation of hardness of the springs has three programs (normal, comfort and sport), the control system can intervene in whatever springs to reduce body movements (rocking and pitching).
Lexus LS 460
It has a parallelogram suspension of deformable in the two axes. The striker has two pairs of independent arms overlapping, with a design similar to the Audi A8. Behind has five arms between cross and oblique, such as Mercedes-Benz Class S.
Lexus LS 460
The assistance of management makes an electric motor of 46 V (amending voltage electrical installation). This engine is also inducing the turn of the steering wheel in functions such as assistance in emergency maneuvers or warning by involuntary change lanes.
Lexus LS 460
The brakes are electro (such as the Toyota Prius). Although there is a hydraulic connection between the pedal and the brakes (which operate in the event of failure of the system), which makes when the driver steps on the pedal is to give a signal that the system evaluates, to apply pressure braking properly. It takes 357 mm front discs and 335 mm behind; claws are monoblock in the two axles, four-piston front and two behind.
