TechnologyCarmudiWatch: VW gives the Tiguan Allspace comprehensive tech updates
On May 12, Volkswagen premiered the updated Tiguan Allspace for Europe and packed the long-wheelbase SUV with comprehensive technological features. Check out the “dubbed” digital premiere here. Following the update of the Tiguan last year, its bigger brother—the Allspace—now gets its turn to be treated to a suite of equipment and aesthetic upgrades. Exterior-wise, the Tiguan Allspace enjoys a sharper look with a refreshed front fascia featuring an independent radiator grille and elegant signature light. It will also feature the “sweeping” indicator function of the LED turn signals. The redesigned VW logo will also sport an illuminated strip on either side of the radiator grille. In addition, the Tiguan Allspace can now be ordered with IQ.Light LED matrix headlights — a first in the model. The Tiguan Allspace also grew in length, now 4,723mm, 22mm longer than its previous model. In Germany, VW offers the Tiguan Allspace with three equipment packages: Life, Elegance, and R-Line. The Life trim level offers a leather multifunctional steering wheel, silver anodized roof rails, an electric tailgate, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. The Elegance package adds a slew of chrome-plated elements in the interior and on the exterior with 19-inch alloy wheels. On the other hand, the R-Line version adds an element of sportiness to the Tiguan Allspace with a multifunctional leather sports steering wheel with touch operation and R-Line logo, decorative trims in carbon gray, VW’s Digital Cockpit Pro, and your choice of either 19- or 20-inch wheels. Part of the interior upgrades includes ergoActive version front seats with an electric four-way lumbar support adjustment and massage function. Climate control can now be operated via a new digitalized module in the center console. Gone are the rotary knobs and buttons, which have been replaced with touch panels and sliders. To boost the Tiguan Allpsace’s safety features, VW’s SUV now gives drivers the option to choose to receive information via the full-color head-up display where driving-related information can be displayed in the driver’s field of vision such as speed, directions, and warnings. Volkswagen’s IQ.Drive Travel Assist is now also added in the driving-assist features of the Tiguan Allspace. Depending on the chosen gearbox, the system can partially control driving and take over steering, braking, and acceleration at certain speeds. The Tiguan Allspace is also outfitted with smart connectivity features including Volkswagen’s Online Connectivity Unit (OCU) with integrated eSIM. This technology allows users to benefit from the online services of We Connect and We Connect Plus. Depending on the equipment level, the range of MIB3 systems may come with features such as natural voice control, access to streaming services, and cloud-based personalization via Volkswagen ID. In addition, apps can now be integrated wirelessly via App-Connect Wireless for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Entertainment amenities include an optional premium sound system that VW developed with Harman Kardon. It features a subwoofer, a digital 16-channel amplifier, 8+1 high-performance loudspeakers, and an amplifier with 480-watt total output.

BusinessCarmudiChery PH continues to keep pricing amid safeguard duty
Chery Auto Philippines (CAP) said that it has continued to freeze the pricing of its vehicles despite the imposition of the provisional safeguard duty by the Bureau of Customs. In a statement, CAP President Rommel Sytin revealed that the company will extend its "No Price Increase" program this month of May to help consumers acquire the Chery vehicle of their choice. “The ones who want a Chery shall have a Chery—and we hope that the thousands of pesos that they could save from this program can make things light and easy,” Sytin was quoted as saying. The said promotion from CAP started in March. Below are the prices of its lineup: Tiggo 2 M/T ₱695,000 Tiggo 2 A/T ₱770,000 Tiggo 2 Two-Tone ₱785,000 Tiggo 5x M/T ₱818,000 Tiggo 5x A/T ₱860,000 Tiggo 5x A/T Luxury ₱970,000 All-New Tiggo 7 A/T Pro ₱1.198 million Tiggo 8 A/T Luxury ₱1.28 million Tiggo 8 A/T Luxury EX ₱1.34 million Since the brand was re-introduced to the market under new leadership in 2019, the suggested retail price has been maintained except for the 2021 Tiggo 5x A/T Luxury which had an aesthetic upgrade recently, thanks to the new alloy wheel design, additional rear speakers, and rear air-conditioning vents. Apart from the No Price Increase program, CAP said it's extending sales promos via low down payment, low monthly amortization, and exclusive cash discounts that apply to all Tiggo variants in their dealerships nationwide. All the vehicles are covered with first-in-the-industry warranties such as 10-year/one-million kilometer engine warranty, five-year/150,000-kilometer general vehicle warranty, three-year roadside assistance, and the preventive maintenance service free for three years. “We will continue to make the Chery experience exceptional from pre-sale, actual purchase, service, and even customer relations. We are not stopping,” noted Sytin. Chery Auto Philippines is under the management and distribution of United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI). Photos from United Asia Automotive Group, Inc.

NewsCarmudiLoad up: 3-strike tollway policy to start tomorrow
The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) said that toll companies may impose the three-strike policy on motorists with insufficient or no load credits starting tomorrow (Saturday, May 15, 2021). TRB spokesperson Julius Corpuz clarified to Carmudi Philippines that no apprehension will be meted out yet as the toll companies will only issue reminders since it would be the first day that the policy will be enforced. “The three-strike policy may commence tomorrow but primarily to remind motorists to load or have sufficient load before they enter the RFID lanes. This is to prevent inconvenience to many other responsible RFID subscribers who comply with the RFID loading requirements and whose passage at the toll plazas gets delayed,” Corpuz said. “If RFID subscribers believe they don't have enough load, they are encouraged to pass thru the cash lanes in the meantime until they are able to load,” he added. The newest program, he reiterated, is meant to ensure a seamless traffic flow while averting possible hassle to other motorists who have sufficient credit. Meanwhile, motorists whose vehicles do not have an RFID sticker yet and line up at the wrong lane will face a ₱1,000-fine. “We also wish to remind motorists without RFID stickers not to pass through the RFID-only lanes and use the designated cash lanes to avoid outright apprehension. This erring motorist will be fined P1,000 by the LTO (Land Transportation Office),” he explained. Corpuz shared that the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation-managed tollways informed them they will start the imposition of the policy against motorists without RFID stickers using the RFID-designated toll lanes on Monday. Meanwhile, Corpuz have yet to receive information as to when will the San Miguel Corporation (SMC)-operated expressways apprehended motorists for the same violation. Back in mid-February, SMC president Ramon Ang announced that they will uphold the three-strike policy to motorists who will use the ETC lanes with insufficient load credits. Photos from Ruben D.

BusinessCarmudiSubaru announces Solterra all-electric SUV
Subaru joins the ranks of carmakers wanting a piece of that EV pie as it makes several announcements related to its new all-electric vehicle. The Japanese carmaker said that its all-new EV SUV will be named Solterra. According to Subaru, “the name Solterra was created using the Latin words for ‘sun’ and ‘earth’ to represent Subaru’s commitment to delivering traditional SUV capabilities in an environmentally responsible package.” In the first quarter of 2021, we’ve seen many companies launch several EV SUVs as the demand for more environmentally friendly vehicles continues to increase. Many countries have announced their plans to achieve carbon neutrality and promote a cleaner means of mobility, causing carmakers to shift their focus from traditional ICE-powered vehicles to electrified alternatives — and Subaru doesn’t want to be left behind. Automakers like Mercedes-Benz (EQA 300 4Matic and EQA 350 4Matic), Cadillac (Lyriq), GMC (Hummer), Lexus, and Kia (EV6) all announced their EV SUV offerings earlier this year. At the same time, companies like Honda (e:prototype SUV) and Toyota (bZ4X) unveiled concept vehicles that could further the future of the segment. Even Huawei has announced it would be selling the Seres SF5 EV SUV. In addition, Subaru announced that the Solterra will be built in cooperation with Toyota and the EV SUV will be a joint venture between two carmakers. This partnership will see Subaru’s expertise in all-wheel-drive technology combined with Toyota’s vehicle electrification technology. Subaru says that the Solterra will be built on the all-new e-Subaru Global Platform. According to the Japanese car company, “Subaru engineers worked to bring together the brand’s all-wheel-drive capability, superior driving dynamics, and world-leading passive safety in a versatile, dedicated EV platform. The result is a technologically advanced full-electric SUV that is also a truly capable and durable Subaru SUV.” The Subaru Solterra will be the brand’s first global all-electric vehicle and will join the ranks of Subaru’s award-winning lineup of SUVs such as the Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, and Crosstrek Plug-in Hybrid. Subaru’s first EV is expected to go on sale in the US, Canada, China, Europe, and Japan in 2022.

SportsCarmudiBrembo shares how its pads survive MotoGP and the Le Mans circuit
Brembo cites reasons why its brake pads are strong enough to withstand the grueling MotoGP racing. For Brembo engineers who work closely with MotoGP World Championship riders, the Le Mans Circuit falls into the category of circuits with a medium difficulty level for brakes. On a scale of 1 to 5, the higher number the more difficult the track; the aforementioned track is rated at 3. Although the circuit has a straight before the finish line that's only 674 meters long, there are other parts of the track which ensure cooling of the carbon discs. Brembo says the friction material used for the MotoGP brake pads is carbon. The outstanding friction coefficient and constant performance, even when hot, guarantees powerful and stable braking without any fading. Compared to the brakes on a street-legal sport bike, the weight, duration and even the maximum temperature are different. The Brembo brake pads for a MotoGP bike weigh just 50 grams, less than half the weight of the street bike version. The duration is almost 900 km, and the maximum temperature that can be reached is 800°C. Brembo brakes can also stop the MotoGP bikes in 4.5 seconds, ensuring that it can round the corner even after the bikes reach almost 300kph on the straight.

Hyundai will present its Ioniq 5 electric SUV in the United States on May 24, and the Korean brand is highlighting the model's Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function. Hyundai looks like it's pitching this car for the outdoorsy set. With V2L, electric devices such as electric bicycles, scooters, or camping equipment can be charged from outside of the Ioniq 5. Aside from V2L, Hyundai says the car will also usher in "advanced technology, innovative use of interior space, and a new global electric platform." During the Ioniq's virtual presentation, the following Hyundai executives will talk about their newest electric entry: Hyundai Motor North America President and CEO José Muñoz, Hyundai Vice President and Head of Hyundai Styling Simon Loasby, and Product Planning and Mobility Strategy Vice President Olabisi Boyle. The executives will "discuss commitment to electrification, Ioniq 5 design, North American product attributes, and other major announcements," Hyundai added. The Ioniq 5 will go on sale in the US this year. This minimalist-looking, V2L-toting electric SUV can be powered by either a 58kWh or 72.6kWh battery pack. An e-motor powers the rear wheels, but another motor can be optioned for the front wheels to make a four-wheel drive system. The Ioniq 5's range is estimated at above 480 kilometers. Meanwhile, the Hyundai Ioniq EV sold locally is a compact hatchback that delivers 118hp and 295Nm of torque from its lithium-ion batteries. At full charge, the Ioniq EV can run for 200 kilometers, according to the estimates of the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA). The Ioniq EV provides a generous kit list. It features automatic climate control, heater, engine start/stop button, electric folding mirrors, accessory power outlet, multi-function steering wheel, cruise control, onboard computer, central console armrest, and keyless entry. Meanwhile, entertainment and communication are provided by an eight-inch color touchscreen with FM/AM/Radio, CD player, USB and auxiliary input functionality.
