The greatest attention in this edition is dedicated for rear passengers to enjoy the maximum comfort and all possible accessories from Jaguar’s arsenal.

Official figures have not been disclosed, but the XJ Ultimate Edition should be available with a diesel engine 3.0 V6 and 5.0 V8 petrol engine (including a supercharged version).

Talisman has a premiere at the Salon in Beijing, will be manufactured in South Korea, but China will be available in other markets in Asia (including India). Arrival of this Talisman with Europe is not yet confirmed, but if it ever comes to that (similar to the example of Samsung SM5 which is placed in the Old World as the Renault Latitude), the offer should be found and diesel engines.

The range of engines for the Chinese market are 2.5 V6 and 3.5 V6 engine that coupled with a CVT or six-speed Tiptronic Transmisja.

Talisman is long 4995 mm, width 1870 mm, 1480 mm high, while the wheelbase is 2810 mm.

Also new for Ford Mustang design are standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps on both V6 and GT cars. Signature lighting plays into the technology upgrades for 2013 as well, with two individual light-emitting diode (LED) bars accentuating the front headlamps and three LED ropes forming the iconic three-bar rear lights.

The new Ford Mustang GT offers a revamped wheel lineup, ranging from the standard 17-inch wheels for V6 all the way up to 19-inch optional wheels on the GT and V6 Performance Package. With updated designs, the wheels also offer new finishes and touches for a more powerful appearance.

There are two different finishes on the 17-inch wheel – machined-aluminum and painted. Three optional V6 wheels include an 18-inch polished aluminum set, an updated 18-inch painted aluminum and a 19-inch painted wheel design, with a new theme for the V6 Performance Package.

The standard 18-inch painted aluminum wheel on both GT and premium GT is an evolution of the five-spoke design. The 19-inch optional GT wheel comes with a gloss-black finish with machined face for a more sinister look.

The new car also offers mirrors with pony projection light, which casts the image of Ford Mustang’s famous pony emblem on the ground when the unlock button is activated. New colors – Deep Impact Blue and Gotta Have It Green – join the existing sporty colors for 2013.

Also new on V6 and GT are optional leather-trimmed or cloth Recaro® seats that are currently available on the Shelby GT500 and Boss 302. Designed to enhance the high-performance driving experience, lateral bolsters in the cushion and seatback are used to ensure drivers have the support needed on the track during hard cornering and to deliver a comfortable ride.

The seats also come complete with integrated head restraints with ample room for drivers and passengers wearing helmets when at the track. Openings on the seatback are included for customers looking to create performance setups for their car on track days. The Recaro seats are the result of a global team effort led by SVT along with the Ford Mustang engineering group in North America, Team RS in Europe and Recaro.

The 2013 Mustang with 5.0-liter engine will now deliver 420 horsepower. Based on learnings from developing the high-output 444-horsepower Ford Mustang Boss 302, the team was able to adapt several of the designs to the 5.0-liter.

The new Ford Mustang GT can be specified with a six-speed SelectShift Automatic™ transmission. This advanced control strategy offers the driver a choice between fully automatic operation and manual control. The system is controlled with a selector button on the side of the shifter. The shifter has been upgraded for 2013 with more modern style and improved accessibility.

This capability makes the Mustang experience sporty yet smooth. Unlike some competitors’ transmissions, SelectShift won’t second-guess the driver with an override shift. With SelectShift, manual control is truly manually controlled.

A new option, the GT Track Package, debuts for 2013 for customers who want to push their Ford Mustang even further at the track. Available only on manual GT Mustangs with a 3.73 axle, the package gives track enthusiasts an engine cooler, upgraded radiator, performance friction brake pads and the same Torsen® differential that’s on Mustang Boss 302. The package includes everything in the current Brembo™ Brake Package, with 14-inch vented front discs, unique 19-inch alloy wheels and summer performance tires.

Other optional package updates for 2013 include offering the Brembo Brake Package on both manual and automatic transmissions on Ford Mustang GT. The V6 Performance Package is now available on automatic Mustangs for the first time.

Hill start assist makes its debut on manually equipped Mustangs. This feature helps keep the car from rolling backward, making it easier to pull away when on a slope or hill. With the brake pedal pressed, if sensors detect the car is on a slope, the system is automatically activated. Brake pressure is held in the braking system and the car remains stationary on the slope for up to two seconds after the driver releases the brake pedal.

A new 4.2-inch LCD productivity screen that lets customers access information related to fuel economy and vehicle performance also makes its debut on Mustang. The screen is navigated through a five-way control button located on the steering wheel and offers Track Apps, which delivers performance metrics for drivers right from the factory. The app measures g forces, shows acceleration times in quarter-mile and 0-60 increments, and displays braking times, complete with automatic and countdown starts.

The 2013 Ford Mustang GT also offers customers two new audio systems for even better sound quality for incredible clarity and crispness. The optional Shaker™ system comes with eight speakers and pumps out 370 watts of power. The upgraded Shaker Pro offers nine speakers and delivers 550 watts of power.

The external modifications include LED daytime running lamps and new exterior mirrors for all engine variants. The AMG versions also feature a new, characteristic AMG radiator grille with double louvres, plus distinctive new bumpers with large air intakes. Red brake callipers and 20-inch wheels, available here for the first time, complement the emotive appeal of its exterior.

The instrument panel and centre console have been completely redesigned to include new controls and generously proportioned, exclusively designed trim elements. These give the interior of the car a fresh and classy look. Drivers will now find a TFT colour display in the instrument cluster between the two round dials. A further large colour screen, conveniently positioned in the centre, is part of the COMAND Online system and incorporates a DVD changer and the COMAND Controller, which are standard on all Mercedes-Benz G-Class models.

This new infotainment generation offers, amongst other features, a navigation system with special additional off-road functions, the LINGUATRONIC voice-operated control system and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. In order to ensure that the G-Class nevertheless does not lose any of its character, certain specific design elements in the interior have been preserved. The G-Class thus retains the grab handle on the front-passenger side, the switches for the three differential locks – clearly aligned within the driver’s field of vision and highlighted in silver-coloured trim – and the redesigned shift lever in the lower section of the centre console.

New optional extras include safety features such as DISTRONIC PLUS, Blind Spot Assist and the parking aid PARKTRONIC with reversing camera. The ESP®system has been completely revised and now includes Trailer Stability Assist and a HOLD function.

Further individualisation options from the exclusive designo range are available as enhancements to what is already a very high-quality interior package.

The range of engines in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class includes the G 350 BlueTEC and the G 500, both as a long-wheelbase station wagon, plus the G 500 as a short-wheelbase Cabriolet model.The basic version of the long-wheelbase station wagon model is the G 350 BlueTEC with V6 diesel engine and a displacement of 2987 cc. The four-valve engine has an output of 155 kW (211 hp) at 3400 rpm and has available torque of 540 Newton metres across an engine speed range of 1600 to 2400 rpm.

The BlueTEC technology developed by Mercedes-Benz minimises its emissions, in particular of nitrogen oxides (NOx). The G 350 BlueTEC works to even better effect with the addition of AdBlue®, an aqueous urea solution that is injected into the flow of exhaust gases. Refilling with AdBlue®is conveniently done from the outside of the vehicle.

One alternative to the diesel engine is the G 500, with its powerful 5.5-litre V8 petrol engine. This has an output of 285 kW (388 hp) and offers excellent torque of 530 Newton metres. The same engine also ensures that the G 500 Cabriolet has generous reserves of power to deal with any situation.

Both the G 350 and the G 500 feature the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission as standard. This sixth generation of the stepped automatic transmission that has been developed and produced by Mercedes-Benz since 1960 has once again been thoroughly revised, and optimised with regard to both consumption and comfort.

New to the range is the G 63 AMG with V8 biturbo engine (400 kW/544 hp and 760 Nm of torque), which features the ECO start/stop system as standard. The engine range has been extended by the addition of the G 65 AMG with V12 biturbo engine (450 kW/612 hp and 1000 Nm of torque), making this the most powerful series-produced cross-country vehicle in the world.

The technical qualities of the G-Class continue to be highly prized. The tremendous torque of its engines makes the luxury off-roader an excellent vehicle for towing, while its three electrically controlled 100-percent differential locks, ladder frame and rigid axle characteristics make it an unrivalled proposition in rough, off-road terrain.

The new Mercedes-Benz G-Class is available from June 2012.

The Volvo XC60 has been upgraded with the latest Volvo Sensus infotainment system – and the crossover can also be specified with the Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake safety system.

The interior is driver-oriented and designed to create a dynamic feel. The lines on the panels and surfaces connect the various interior panels with each other to create a harmonious style with “loops.” Thick and thin lines contribute to the XC profile. The characteristic floating centre console gives a dynamic and sporty impression. The centre console is slightly angled towards the driver to enhance driver dynamics. The visual “X” in the seats and backrests enhances the dynamic appearance.

Volvo Sensus is an excellent example of how Volvo Cars refines the driver environment. All information is presented on a five-inch or seven-inch colour screen in the upper part of the centre stack. The screen is positioned high up to make it easy for the driver to keep his or hers eyes on the road. All the functions can be controlled via buttons built into the steering wheel or via touch buttons located just below the colour screen.

If the customer chooses a multimedia audio system, Volvo Sensus comes upgraded with the larger seven-inch screen that also displays information and images from the navigation system, phone, reversing camera, panorama camera, DVD player, digital TV and so on.

The Bluetooth connection has been upgraded to allow not only hands-free phone conversations but also music streaming from a preferred Bluetooth enabled portable music player. Volvo is actually the only brand to offer Bluetooth music streaming throughout the entire vehicle range. New is also a mobile application that makes sure that the driver can stay in touch with the parked car via an iPhone or Android smart phone. The mobile application is an extension of Volvo On Call, which is presently available in 12 European countries plus Russia and Brazil.

The Volvo XC60 gets the same type of centre stack and the same range of audio units as recently introduced in the Volvo S60 and V60. The most advanced audio unit, Premium Sound, has a Class D digital 5x130W amplifier with circuits from Swedish experts Anaview, Dolby Digital in combination with Dolby Pro Logic II Surround, the latest MultEQ from Audyssey Laboratories and 12 loudspeakers.

In addition to Premium Sound, which comes with a seven-inch screen, there are three other audio systems to choose between.

With the Volvo XC60, Volvo Cars takes yet another step in offering cars that are fun to drive yet comfortable to ride in. The compact format and the precise road attributes mean the new Volvo XC60 can make its way equally elegantly both on city tarmac and along country lanes.

Volvo’s All-Wheel Drive with Instant Traction is designed to guarantee the best possible road grip whatever the situation. With the help of an electronically controlled clutch, the AWD system automatically distributes drive between the front and rear wheels. The Instant Traction function shifts power from the front to the rear wheels at lightning speed, for instance when starting from standstill on slippery or loose surfaces.

Hill Descent Control automatically controls the car’s speed when driving down steep slopes. The Hill Descent Control function makes it possible for the driver to focus completely on driving when descending steep hills. The driver can control the speed with the brake pedal or the accelerator when Hill Descent Control is activated.

Volvo’s FOUR-C function monitors the chassis’ movements and makes it possible to choose a chassis setting that suits a certain driving style. The driver can choose between three settings, Comfort, Sport and Advanced.

Trailer Stability Assist is intended for stabilising the car and trailer. The system detects if the trailer starts “snaking”, a phenomenon that may occur at certain speeds depending on the mass of the trailer and the way it is loaded. If Trailer Stability Assist senses snaking tendencies, it brakes the car’s individual wheels to counteract the oscillation. Trailer Stability Assist is activated at speeds between 60 and 160 km/h.

The six-cylinder, turbocharged T6 has a displacement of 3.0 litres and it now offers even sharper performance, thanks mainly to a reduction in internal friction. It now offers 304 hp and no less than 440 Nm of torque. The CO2 emissions are 249 g/km.

Maximum torque is achieved between 2100 and 4200 revs. This results in rapid acceleration and smooth driving properties. All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is fitted as standard.

The six-cylinder 3.2-litre naturally aspirated engine has also been upgraded and features an improved crankshaft and less internal friction. It now offers 243 hp and maximum torque is 320 Nm. In order to meet US legislative requirements, there is also a PZEV (Partial Zero Emission Vehicle) variant that produces 233 hp and 300 Nm.

The Volvo XC60 is also available as a 2.0 GTDi (GTDi as in Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection) variant (T5) producing 240 hp and torque of 320 Nm. The GTDi engine comes with Volvo’s automatic six-speed Powershift transmission.

In Model year 2012 the Volvo XC60 gets the sharpened versions of the five-cylinder D5 and D3 turbodiesels. In the D5 engine Volvo Car Corporation’s engine experts have boosting performance and torque from 205 hp/420 Nm to 215 hp and 440 Nm while at the same time reducing fuel consumption by eight percent. The quest for better driveability combined with lower fuel consumption and less environmental impact has led to increased focus on internal friction inside the engine.

The D3 remains at 163 hp and 400 Nm. However, the two-litre diesel engine’s driveability is now far improved thanks to fine-tuning of the turbocharger. This is an excellent example of the fact that efficiency enhancement in modern combustion engines is now taking place at microscopic levels.

The improved driving properties of the turbodiesels are accompanied by lower fuel consumption figures for both engines.

Fuel consumption (EU Combined) of a Volvo XC60 D5 is now just 5,7 l/100 km (149 g/km) with the manual gearbox and 6,8 l/100 km (179 g/km) with the automatic. The corresponding figures for the D3 engine (DRIVe version) with manual gearbox are 5,7 l/100 km (149 g/km).

The booster cushion, which is integrated in the rear seat, can be set at two heights, allowing children of different sizes to sit sufficiently high to see out through the windows yet at the same time get the most effective protection possible. The lower setting is intended for children between 115 and 140 cm in height and weighing between 22 and 36 kg, while the upper setting is designed for children measuring 95-120 cm and weighing between 15 en 25 kg. The Volvo XC60 can be equipped with integrated child booster cushions in both outer rear seats.

Volvo XC60 City Safety is a function that senses if vehicles ahead are moving more slowly or are at a standstill. In a situation where the calculated braking force needed reaches a certain level and the driver has not reacted, the City Safety function senses that a collision is imminent.

Driver Alert Control is a unique technology to detect and alert tired and distracted drivers. Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) helps detect vehicles in the offset rear blind spot on both sides of the car. Lane Departure Warning alerts the driver if the car runs across the lane markers without the turn indicator being used.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) continuously monitors the gap to the vehicles in front and automatically adjusts the car’s speed to ensure that this gap does not shrink too much. The latest version operates all the way down to standstill (cars with automatic gearbox). The car accelerates automatically once the traffic starts moving again.

Volvo XC60 Roll Stability Control is an active function that intervenes in situations when the car is exposed to forces that could cause it to roll over. This function helps stabilise the car and reduces the risk of rolling over in an accident. If a rollover accident should occur, the Roll-Over Protection System helps protect the passengers, but it is always recommended for everyone to wear safety belt when riding in a car.

Sports version of Ford’s newest sedans, from the classic version differs in a number of design and technical details. According to American designers, the intention was to retain the elegant form of the standard “Taurus”, but to discreetly highlight the sporting potential of the Ford Taurus SHO model designation. Therefore, the front grille, which otherwise resembles the irresistible form of a European “ford” model, has received new “grill” in the honeycomb shape, painted black, with the inevitable chrome border, which is a winning combination for highlighting performance.

All other components, such as light group and lower cooling openings are perfectly blended in a very harmonious form, what more we find the masters of design such as, for example, Audi, and which is not typical of typical representatives of the American automotive school. The same applies to the lateral line of cars, with the elegance and harmony, with excellent measured trunk lid that creates a harmonious and compact form, despite a total body lengths of up to five meters.

On the side, are visible and black painted door mirrors and 19-inch wheels or optional 20-inch diameter, embossed with the Ford Taurus SHO logo. The rear bodywork is also appealing, a sports note of the light was attractive graphics group, and double end exhaust system, a moderate and discreet spoiler on the trunk lid completes this elegant-sports complex.

The interior combines some of the most sophisticated systems and technical solutions. On the center console is a large color touch screen monitor, which allowed the installation of Ford’s designers to create the cockpit must be freed of unnecessary and confusing switches, which also contributes to the practicality and aesthetics. Apart from “touch screen” monitor commands can transmit the voice over, which although not a solution of a breathtaking, it is consistent with the class to which this model belongs.

In creating the interior SHO version of the “taurus,” Ford’s designers were not too many pains to emphasize the sporty image. The performance model suggests sports front seats, alloy pedal controls, while all other elements appropriate to the full incorporation into the classic premium sedan without spotskog character. The drive provides a V6 gasoline engine from 3500, “cc”, which develops 365 horsepower.

Thanks to the turbo technology is the biggest driving force available for the engine at 1,500 rpm, while maximum power is available without going into high rpm, at 5,500 rpm. Power is transferred to the substrate via four-wheel drive and an integrated intelligent individual “concerned” about the distribution of traction and stability in complex car driving conditions.

To stop, the charge-reinforced brakes, which thanks to modern electronic control with traction control function and the rear differential. The control mechanism is provided with electric power steering device, which is also under computer control, a standard piece of equipment is a system that allows self-parking, a convenient addition, especially if they take into account the dimensions of the car.
