This small Jeep feels right for city driving

The Jeep Avenger Hybrid shares its platform with several Stellantis models, but it still manages to feel like a proper Jeep in design and character. Its exterior has a distinct look, while the cabin keeps many useful physical buttons for climate, steering controls, and daily functions. The digital driver display, responsive infotainment screen, wireless charging, JBL audio, and panoramic roof make it feel well equipped for a compact SUV. The 48 volt mild hybrid system uses a small battery, so electric only driving is very limited, but it helps in traffic, parking, and low speed city use without needing to plug in. On the highway, the power is modest and the gearbox can feel a little slow, but around town it feels easy and comfortable. It is not a serious off road vehicle, even with Jeep styling and drive modes, yet as a practical daily SUV with extra character, the Avenger Hybrid makes sense.


How global rallycross supercars hit 60 mph in 1.9 seconds

Regulations limit them to 2 liter engines and 45 millimeter turbocharger restrictor plates, which ultimately are the two factors limiting power. The engines produce about 600 horsepower, and over 650 lb-ft of torque, rocketing these machines from 0-60 in as fast as 1.9 seconds. 1.9 seconds! If we do the math, 60 mph is equivalent to 88 ft per second. 88/1.9 = 46.3 ft/sec squared, or if we divided by 32.2, it means the cars accelerate at over 1.4 longitudinal g’s!! That’s faster than any production vehicle, regardless of how much it costs. So how do they achieve such mind blowing acceleration? First and foremost, you’ll need all wheel drive and an absurd power to weight ratio. With a minimum weight of 2921 pounds including the driver and all fluids, the vehicles are carrying less than 5 pounds of weight for every horsepower the engine produces. All wheel drive is obviously critical for maximizing acceleration, but it’s also important that the engine torque finds its way to the wheels with the most traction. To do this, plate and ramp style mechanical limited slip differentials are used front and back. A shallow ramp angle in an LSD will lock up more easily under throttle. With the differential locked up, torque goes wherever it finds grip. A steep ramp angle will provide little lock-up, or if it’s as steep as 90 degrees, no lockup.

20 features you can expect to see in your car by 2030

None of this requires a crystal ball, since most of these features exist in some form today and are simply scaling up. Here's 20 features likely to be standard, or at least common, in cars by 2030.
