2018 Volkswagen Jetta

2018 Volkswagen Jetta.

The Volkswagen Jetta is a bit of an automotive conundrum.

All three of its available turbocharged four-cylinder engines are refined and pleasant to drive, and the 20-liter under the hood of the Jetta GLI is truly fun to flog.

Characteristic of a Volkswagen, the Jetta has competent handling and a functional interior.

But despite these promising characteristics, the Jetta completely fails to set the heart racing.

Snore-inducing exterior styling may be a culprit, or the fact that this sedan is not nearly as flexible or practical as its stablemate, the hatchback Volkswagen Golf.

Whatever the reason, the Jetta can never seem to add up to more than the sum of its parts, and it fades into the background of this highly competitive segment.

Major changes are still a model year away for the Jetta, which is due for a comprehensive redesign for the 2019 model year.

The addition of two new trim levels in the middle of the Jetta's lineup—the Wolfsburg and the SE Sport—and the deletion of the sporty GLI trim's six-speed manual transmission mark the major tweaks to the Jetta lineup for 2018.

The Wolfsburg adds a few vaguely upscale touches, including leatherette seats, to the Jetta's base offerings, while the SE Sport boasts black interior and exterior trim and a rear spoiler meant to convey an athletic attitude.

Other minor revisions include a new chrome grille that graces most trims and several new wheel designs.

Volkswagen shuffled the Jetta lineup and upgraded its infotainment system but left the car otherwise unchanged for 2017.

The nine trim levels that existed in 2016 were consolidated to five, but the feature-heavy SEL and the sport-minded GLI remain.

Volkswagen's new MIB II infotainment system is available in all but the base trim and adds improved touchscreen functionality.

Drivers who want a GTI but prefer a sedan versus a hatchback should consider the Jetta GLI, the most expensive and sportiest model in the Jetta's lineup.

We'll accept no substitutes for a GTI, however, and would opt for a Jetta SE Sport instead.

The SE Sport has a 170-hp turbocharged 1.8-liter inline-four engine, black trim inside and out, and a ducktail rear spoiler but forgoes most luxuries.

Standard features on the Jetta SE Sport include:.

• Heated front seats• 6.

3-inch touchscreen infotainment system• Leatherette seating surfaces.

The SE Sport doesn't have any factory option packages; paint color and dealer-installed options are the only choices left to buyers.

A Jetta SE Sport runs $24,095.

Motortrend View:2018 Mercedes-Benz SL-class - Duration: 4:43.

2018 Mercedes-Benz SL-class

2018 Mercedes-Benz SL-class.

Calling the Mercedes-Benz SL-class a sports car is only telling half the story.

This car offers a compelling blend of passenger comfort and driving excitement.

It's more than competent on a twisty road, and both of its available powertrains—a 362-hp V-6 and a 449-hp V-8—provide plenty of forward thrust.

Drop the top, select Comfort mode, and switch on the optional massaging seats; it's a luxury car that just happens to resemble a low-slung sports car.

It's even practical, sporting a much larger trunk than many of its rivals and a folding hardtop that keeps the cabin serene when up.

Even though it's aging, it still looks as good at speed as it does when parked at the front of the valet line, and its dual personality makes it perfect for a glamorous night out.

Following a recent redesign, the SL-class sees very few changes for 2018.

A simplified three-pointed-star emblem now adorns the grille and the wheels.

A backup camera is now standard (it's the law starting next May), as are puddle lamps that illuminate a Mercedes-Benz logo on the ground outside each of the two doors.

Buyers can now choose seatbelts in either silver or red and can also select an optional AMG Sport steering wheel.

The SL received an update that brought freshened looks front and rear and a few mechanical updates.

The SL450 replaced the previous SL400, using the same V-6 engine but with 33 more horsepower than before.

A nine-speed automatic transmission was new for both SL450 and SL550 models.

Last year we picked the SL450 and its V-6 powertrain over the much costlier SL550 and its V-8 engine.

We'd hedge that bet and recommend the same model for 2018, as it provides all of the style and luxury one expects from a Mercedes-Benz, and the gutsy V-6 means you never want for power.

In addition to its silky and harmonious engine, the SL450 comes standard with:.

• Power retractable hardtop• Heated 16-way power seats• Dual-zone automatic climate control• COMAND infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

We'd add the Premium package ($5050), which kicks the luxury up a notch with massaging seats with ventilation, a motorized trunklid, neck heaters, and a self-parking feature, among other items.

The SL450 sees a $1250 bump in its price for 2018.

Our selected model rolls off the showroom floor for the sizable sum of $94,245.

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan FWD Part2

The Tiguan's growth spurt did not make it nimbler, although the big Tig is capable in the twisties and its ride is firm but not harsh.

It's chiefly the overboosted steering that keeps it from being entertaining.

The VW circled our skidpad at a modest 0.78 g before its Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season tires (sized 235/50R-19) waved the white flag.

That low-rolling-resistance rubber probably was a factor in the Tiguan's braking performance, as the VW required 176 feet to stop from 70 mph, but the hardware is stout enough that there was no fade after six hard stops.

The Tiguan starts at $26,095 for the base S and progresses through SE, SEL, and SEL Premium trim levels.

In all cases, all-wheel drive adds $1300.

To its $37,150 base price, our SEL Premium test example added but one option: Habanero Orange Metallic paint for $295.

The SEL Premium already comes fully equipped with leather, an oversize sunroof (outlined in ambient lighting), adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot warning, heating for the front seats and steering wheel, a power liftgate, a surround-view camera system, a configurable digital instrument cluster, and an 80-inch touchscreen with navigation.

The generously sized touchscreen responds to swiping and pinching motions, and it's abetted by volume and tuning knobs.

The navigation, however, proved flaky on a three-day, 1100-mile, multistop trip, with wild swings in estimated arrival time as the system contemplated wacky maneuvers such as turning around for no reason.

The system also chose routes that were much slower than those suggested by smartphone apps, so eventually we gave up on it and just used Waze instead, a task made easy by the standard Android Auto capability.

(Apple CarPlay also is included but doesn't incorporate Waze functionality.).

The top-spec Tiguan's interior is pleasant and functional, but we wouldn't call it luxurious—particularly in the rear, where a noxious bit of cost cutting strips the door panels of the padding and the glossy trim strip that adorns the front doors.

The seats, though, are well shaped and supportive, there's plenty of stowage, and the two USB ports in front are easily accessible.

Visibility is good to the front and sides thanks to narrow A-pillars, but the view to the rear is obstructed by the aft pillars and rear headrests.

The new Tiguan's tweener size—bigger than a CR-V or Toyota RAV4 but not as big as a Ford Edge or Hyundai Santa Fe Sport—might be just right for some subset of the market, particularly for those with the occasional need to carry more than five passengers (provided at least two are small).

For that narrowly defined group, choosing the front-drive Tiguan provides a modest increase in performance and fuel economy over the all-wheel-drive version.

Motortrend View:2018 Jaguar E-Pace Part 1 - Duration: 5:03.

2018 Jaguar E-Pace Part 1

2018 Jaguar E-Pace.

Although adjacent alphabetically in lists of major automakers, Jaguar and Jeep are polar opposites, but that isn't keeping Jaguar from following in Jeep's footsteps.

Jeep is a pioneer in minting money with overlapping crossover offerings: Its Renegade, Compass, and Cherokee span less than 16 inches of overall length and are all available with the same 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder, and each somehow pulls its weight on the sales charts without stealing (too many) customers from the others.

As it wades into the crossover arena, Jaguar is taking note.

The F-Pace—a name contrived from F as in -type, that super-sexy roadster, and Pace as in.

well, how much time do you have to delve into some heroically contrived marketing bullshit?—launched just last year, and already it nearly matches the combined sales of every other Jaguar model.

So, for its second SUV, Jaguar introduces the E-Pace, which is just over 13 inches shorter and also falls between the Range Rover Evoque and the Land Rover Discovery Sport, which means JLR is out-crowding even Jeep.

The biggest distinction between the F and the E, though, is the latter's front-drive roots.

Like the Evoque on which it's based, the E-Pace's chassis consists of struts up front and a multilink rear suspension, with a turbocharged inline-four hitched to ZF's nine-speed automatic transmission.

European markets will get both front-drive and diesel options, but U.S.

buyers will choose only between two strengths of gasoline four.

There's standard all-wheel drive or an optional version dubbed Active Driveline that offers front- and all-wheel-drive functions.

For this first encounter, we were limited to the uprated engine, producing 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.

With output figures of 246 and 269, the entry-level engine promises to be capable of a fair, uh, pace as well.

We're told the sole difference between the two engines is in how much turbo boost they swallow.

But these being members of Jaguar's new Ingenium engine family, even the higher-output 20-liter is far more civilized than the Ford EcoBoost–derived unit that preceded it in the JLR portfolio.

It's vastly more linear at partial throttle, and the nine-speed is calibrated here for quicker, smoother action than we've noted in recent encounters with this transmission in Land Rovers.

We found few opportunities for full-throttle acceleration on the narrow country lanes between London and Brighton, England, but with nearly 300 horsepower in a 4200-pound wrapper, the E-Pace should have no trouble keeping up with compatriots in the subcompact-luxury segment.
