?QUESTION

Floating the new Audi A4 in a city without blacktop

‘‘Technology enables the A4 to cruise up to 65 km/h autonomously, as long as you place your hands on the wheel every few seconds.’’Keith Morgan

Venice, Italy – Can you believe that Audi would invite the world’s media to attend the launch of its 2017 A4 in a town where signs limit speed to seven km/h on most of its main streets?Launch for the non-amphibious craft is probably an appropriate descriptor for the event, given the streets of this world heritage site are all under water and the main means to get from A to B is by motor launch. If romance is on your mind, of course, you can hail a gondolier. Then you stare into your beloved’s eyes as your blue-hoop shirted man propels you slowly under steeply arched bridges along the Grand Canal, past awe inspiring examples of architecture from another time.The classy and cultured number greatly among Audi owners so it’s perhaps no surprise that the German manufacturer would take us to a place so rich in art and exquisite form. Ensconced at the Isole delle Rose island resort we learned of the new model’s attributes in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere away from the typical city noise.Then we headed for the dry land of the Veneto region, north of the city, to put the machine through its paces through urban traffic, freeways, rural wine country routes and high into the mountains, ascend-ing and descending along serpentine roads.Its driving attributes can be summed up thusly: plen-ty of perk in the turbo charged 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine, providing more than adequate propulsion to scale the heights and pass the freeway laggards –

smoothly – greatly aided by a respon-sive seven-speed transmission. Played with the paddle shifters for fun while luging down the steep mountain side but didn’t feel the need to experiment with them for most of the drive. The cornering on the twisties was ‘A1’ in the A4, thanks to substantial technical improvements to the suspension. It’s darned quiet too.We are not going to see the A4 on Canadian roads until late spring. There are seven power plants available glob-ally but we will get just the 2.0-litre gas engine at launch. The gas version generates 252 horsepower and a diesel – which we should get eventual-ly – puts out 190. No, it’s not the same engine that has caused so much grief for Audi’s VW parent.No fuel economy numbers yet but,

for what it’s worth at this stage, Audi is promising substantial improvements over the current combined city/highway of 8.9 L/100kms for the gas engine. Our A4s will all have Quattro four-wheel drive and the seven-speed dual clutch S-Tronic transmission. Front-wheel drive vehicles and a manual transmission option will debut later.The A4’s appearance is only subtly different from the last version but after much work in the wind tunnel, its reshaping had yielded substantial aerodynamic improvements.Inside the cabin expect some classy touches: fine grain ash wood inlays lifts and chrome trims raise the A4 in the elegance stakes.

The optional revamped MultiMedia Interface (MMI) system enables the driver to keep eyes on the road ahead by reducing the interactions needed to deliver what functions the driver wants to operate. Shortcut buttons for some common functions server the same safety purpose.The centre console houses a wireless smartphone charger and you can display your phone apps in a larger format on the tablet-like display. Rear passen-gers can entertain themselves via a removable tablet – also an option. It has crash proof glass!I mentioned how quiet the cabin is but you can fix that if you opt for the Bang & Olufsen 3D sound sys-tem. A blast of ZZ Top wiped the skeptical smirk from my visage, born of the ‘3D audio” reference. I looked round twice to see if we had some bearded weirdos in the ample back seats.Techno and safety nuts will be impressed with the list of passive and active safety equipment available either as standard or optional extras. These include adaptive cruise control, traffic jam and active lane assists, and self-parking that responds to road markings, radar and satellite navigation data to keep the car on the straight and narrow. That technology enables the A4 to cruise up to 65 km/h autonomous-ly, as long as you place your hands on the wheel every few seconds combing your hair or picking your nose. If you don’t you get a loud reminder! One wit suggested carrying mini clamps to replace your hands and enable you to snooze.The current model base price is $38,500, don’t expect the prices for the three iterations of the 2017 model to vary too much in the bottom line.

a bit nicer. Bi-Xenon headlights, part of an optional tech package, also bring equipment levels up to the level of a more upscale machine.

Environment:Like the Focus, the Escape’s interior is more form than function, and lacks interior storage. It’s no minivan replacement, and you have to look hard to find cubbies for all the stuff that everyday living seems to come with.

But having said that, it’s also a pretty nice cockpit with available heavily-bolstered sport seats, a well-trimmed dash, and an update to the Sync infotainment. This last point is perhaps the most important upgrade.

While the screen remains set back just a little too far, and the redundant buttons placed at an angle that’s not quite ergonomic, Ford’s new touchscreen system is a leap forward that’ll please anyone frustrated by wrestling with the old system. The voice commands still work well – better than many manufacturers’ offerings – but the screen is now easier to read, quicker to respond, and the menus make more sense.

Rear passenger room is good, though better suited to kids rather than adults, and trunk space is just a hair smaller than rivals like the Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4. It totals 971L with all seats in place, and a capacious 1920 with the rears laid flat. Ford also includes a handsfree tailgate: just wave your foot under the rear bumper to pop open the trunk.

Performance:The Escape comes with several engine options, including a 168hp 2.5L four-cylinder, a 178hp 1.6L turbocharged engine with punchy torque, and the top-level 2.0L turbocharged engine making 240hp at 5500rpm and 270 lb/ft of torque at 3000rpm. Those last are the figures on premium fuel; the 2.0L makes 231hp on regular.

You won’t notice the 9hp drop from using regular gas, so skip the high-octane stuff. As it is, the Escape with the 2.0L

Ford provides many option levels you’d normally have to step up to a luxury badge to get

option has a surfeit of power, and offers much stronger acceleration than anything else in the segment apart from the similarly turbocharged Forester XT.

Add in a chassis that’s, as mentioned, heavily related to the fun-to-drive Focus hatchback, and you’ve got a zippy little crossover with excellent driving dynamics. Mechanical grip is excellent, and when that gives up, the torque-vectoring front end is capable of braking an inside wheel to haul the nose of the Escape deeper into the corner for better bite.

If anything, it’s like an all-wheel-drive Focus ST with more comfortable seats and better cargo capacity. There’s plenty of pace here, more than enough for the city street, and only the Mazda CX-5 can really touch the Escape for driving verve; factor in the Escape’s much more potent turbocharged engine, and it’s the quickest mainstream crossover there is.

Features:As mentioned, the updates to Ford’s Sync system finally bring the Escape’s technological Achilles’ heel in line. With the brighter screen and larger icons, the satellite navigation and infotainment is far easier to use.

Add in stuff like the handsfree power liftgate, and Ford is providing option levels you’d normally have to step up to a luxury badge to get. In fact, the Escape Titanium makes a pretty strong argument against the equivalent Lincoln model.

Not that it’s inexpensive too. This top-level Escape rang up with options to a heady $40K-plus. That’s just Ford’s business plan – even though the ‘16 is just out, there’s already heavy discounting to make it seem like a better deal.

Official fuel economy figures for the larges 2.0L offering are 8.4L/100kms on the highway for manual-equipped cars, and 11.4L/100kms in the city. While highway mileages can be achieved with gentle driving, the Ecoboost engine will ordinarily be a bit thirsty if you dip into the boost in the city.

All hail the crossover: king of the sales chart, master of the road, displacer of the stalwart family sedan. Seriously, nobody buys anything with four doors any more unless it’s got a raised up ground clearance and pseudo-SUV looks.

There’s a pretty good reason for this state of affairs, and it’s a near total lack of penalty for ride height and increased carry capacity. Fuel economy levels are about the same for a crossover as a sedan (or

at least, close enough given our still relatively affordable fuel prices); so too, is handling approximately the same.

However, not all crossovers are created equal. Some focus on driving efficiency first, some strive to have maximum practicality, some are filled with clever interior technologies, and some are simply resting on the laurels of the badge out front.

A strong-selling model for many years, the Escape could easily fall into the latter category, but here it is updated for the 2016 year. Never mind the battle for sales supremacy, here’s how it does in the quest to end up in your driveway.

Design:While not overburdened by a huge grille, as seems to so often be the case with modern crossovers, the Escape can be a slightly ungainly looking thing from some angles. As it’s essentially a raised and embiggened version of the Focus hatchback, it’s no longer the simple, boxy machine of the previous generation.

That car had a more honest demeanour, where this one is more complex. Still, a few nips and tucks freshen things up a bit, not least the available 19” alloys that came on this Titanium trim top model.

The big wheels give the Escape a strong-looking profile, and elevate it from humdrum family-hauler to something
