The new smaller-than-a-Cayenne SUV growls over to Beverly Hills Porsche in Los Angeles in 2013 and will be called Macan.

Some of the actions and measures which are initiated by the above mentioned safeguards are automatic tensioning of front seat belts, automatic positioning of front passenger seat, automatic closure of side windows and tilting or sliding sunroof. The vehicle is endowed with bi-xenon headlamps that offer optimum visibility and makes your drive safer. The fog lamps present in the Mercedes Benz SLK Class offer clear vision in any type of weather conditions. The extremely rigid passenger cell and the crumples zone offer greater safety to the passengers. The head restraint comes as a standard feature on the front seats. When the sensor detects an impact from the rear, it thrusts the head restraint forwards in just few milliseconds and thus reduces the gap between itself and the occupant's head. It is also packed with airbags that offer protection against collision and also reduce the impact of injury. The belt pretension on the front seats and the outer rear seats offer greater safety to the occupants in the event of an accident.

Michelin鈥檚 new range of high-performance tires is designed for the new Porsche Cayenne. The Michelin lineups for Porsche鈥檚 new SUV are organized around three tire models. All of the tires display the special N marking on the sidewalls, certifying that they comply with Porsche鈥檚 very high quality standards. The three models are: the Latitude Tour HP, Latitude Sport and Latitude Alpin. The Latitude Tour HP, with the Green X label on its sidewalls, offers outstanding on-the-road performance and road-holding ability, as well as low rolling resistance, high mileage and reduced weight. The tire鈥檚 the rubber compound, tread design and casing help to significantly reduce fuel consumption. Michelin designed and developed the new Latitude Tour HP in close cooperation with the German carmaker鈥檚 engineering teams, Michelin said. The Latitude Sport delivers outstanding performance in three areas: better handling on dry surfaces, enhanced safety (due in particular to its excellent wet and dry braking ability) and improved energy efficiency, according to the tiremaker. The tire features a special architecture, supported by a unique banded-at-zero belt with shoulder overlay and variable pitches, to maintain control over the contact patch and increase accuracy. The Latitude Alpin delivers optimal handling on wet, icy and snow-covered roads. The tire offers summer tire performance in the most challenging weather conditions, while providing longer tread life and reducing fuel consumption, Michelin said.

Prior to its global premiere later this year, the new 2019 Kia K900 has been spied testing by Carscoops reader Abdullah in Dubai. The prototype in question wears a layer of black and white camouflage, shielding most of its design. Among the visible tweaks between the new car and the outgoing model are LED daytime running lights in the headlights, a revised front grille, and new lower air intakes. At the rear, Kia designers have created a pair of taillights which, from some angles, look very similar in shape to those from the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. While only moderate modifications will be made to the cabin, the interior is expected to be a dramatic departure from the current car. For example, it is reported that the South Korean automaker will offer a Lexicon audio system as standard. Additionally, plush materials and wooden surfaces will be found within. In terms of engines, we hear the new K900 will get the 3.3-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 from Genesis, delivering 365 hp and 420 hp respectively. Both of these engines will be mated exclusively to a 10-speed automatic gearbox powering the rear wheels. All-wheel drive will be an option.

Porsche Macan was released nearly five years ago. That's forever in car years, and Porsche finally decided that the time had come for a "mid-cycle" refresh: a raft of small improvements that should keep the Macan fresh until the next major redesign comes around. To test that theory, we flew to the middle of the Mediterranean to take the new 2019 Porsche Macan for a spin. After a day of navigating Palma de Mallorca's narrow, twisting cliff-side roads, and dodging packs of cyclists, we can confirm that Porsche's small SUV is still one of the best in class. Despite being a crossover, it does what all Porsches do best: deliver a great, sporting drive. The 2019 Macan will ship with two engines, or as Porsche likes to call them, "drive units." The base Macan will come with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four that puts out 248 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
