New%20AL%20Logo%20PNG%20v4

Hello one and all! Welcome to the AL Autos booth here at the 2019 New York International Auto Show in wonderful New York! With us today, we have 2 cars to present to the public over the course of the next few days. For today, we have one of our peppy sports cars which we have been itching to show to the world!

The AL Autos Aranea! Time to have some fun!


RGSC2 Shown in AL Blue


Ever since our company started up, we’ve always dreamed of making a fun 2 door sporty convertible that would be incredibly fun to drive and available to all! So early on in our company history, we took on the challenge of making a fun two door sports convertible for the masses. We’ve gone through many trials of it such as the AL Autos Pacto released back at the 2017 Antiyita Motor Show and many other iterations which never made it past the testing phase or just never got released to the public, reason being, it didn’t really match up to our expectations. Now, we’ve decided to take on the challenge again, and here today, we have the results of our work, the Aranea. A lot of focus was put on how the Aranea will handle through the corners. For starters, we stuck on AL Road Sport tires that will hug the road. Next, we tuned the new semi-active AL Road Sport suspension setup to make sure that the car will hug the corners. Being one of our first front engine RWD vehicles, we wanted to make sure that we tamed the oversteer which usually sneaks in from time to time. Afterwards, the peppy engines were focused on. The Aranea comes with a choice of 3 engines. The first two are ALA made: a 1.5 L Turbocharged straight 4 producing 185 BHP and 149 lb-ft torque, and a 1.8 L Turbocharged Straight 4 producing 264 BHP and 193 lb-ft torque.


RGSC DTD Shown in AL Fire Red

The third engine marks the return of our specialized tuning division, the Draconis Tuning Division (DTD for short), with a specially tuned 2.0 L Turbocharged Straight 4 producing 305.2 BHP and 216.1 lb-ft torque.

As standard, all engines are mated to either 5 or 6 speed manual transmissions. AL Tech Quickshift automatics are also available upon request (none, however, are available for test drive here at the auto show this year). No matter the trim, however, the Aranea aims to please drivers with a sporty feel and a super fun drive!



RGSC Trim shown in AL Neon Green


The Aranea has three interior trims unique to the three trims of the Aranea. Each of the three trims provide a sporty yet comfortable feel to occupants which set foot in the Aranea. The RGSC trim gets our ALStandard Comfort adjustable seats. The RGSC2 gets ALRoadSport adjustable bucket seats which hug the driver. Finally, the returning RGSC DTD gets specialized DTD bucket seats which hug the driver and provide astounding support. All trims come with inviting sporty interiors. The RGSC2 and RGSC DTD come standard with a 6” screen with our newly designed ALAutos-Infotainmen system. The RGSC DTD trim comes with a few added bells and whistles as well such as DTD exclusive gear lever and DTD inspired trim. The Aranea aims to provide a sporty experience whether you’re in urban areas, city streets, long stretches of highway, or twisty backroads!



RGSC DTD shown in AL Fiery Red

Prices for the Aranea are as follows (Prices include a 20% Markup):
RGSC: $27,845
RGSC2: $35,512
RGSC DTD: $41,111


Want to see more?

An in-depth spec sheet will be posted on our official website soon!



That’s all for now! Thank you for joining us here at the 2019 New York International Auto Show! Stay tuned as we will be presenting a new model that will be joining the AL Autos lineup! If you would like to test drive our newly released car, we have some models which you can drive today! Just let us know! Have a wonderful day!

Under the car the FX1 uses double wishbone front/multi-link rear suspension like most sports cars do, and it helps the car to have excellent handling and driveability. With an AWD system and an electric LSD as standard, the FX1 is also wonderful car to drive in every terrain and condition.

The 1.5 liter L3, currently the only petrol power plant at launch, uses Ursula’s TXi technology to help the car generate as much power as similar-sized L4s while generating less emissions and saves more fuel in the process.

Also, an electric motor variant is available at the same time as it’s petrol counterpart. The all-new electric power plant gives the FX1 a throaty 140 PS of power and 220 Nm from the start, and it’s 300 km range can make every trip easier. The use of SmartCharge technology helps the car to charge it’s battery from zero to 80% in just 45 minutes.

Huangdou Press Event


Huangdou is proud to present two new crossovers at the New York International Auto Show: The Baolei and the CC allure. Both aim to diversify the brand’s crossover lineup to better fit the demands of not only the North American market, but the Chinese market as well.

Huangdou Baolei

The Baolei is the brand’s first ever full-size crossover, coming in both internal combustion and EV variants. Housing a 276-horsepower V6 engine developed by Jinhe, the Baolei packs enough power to push the vehicle forward, while still maintaining up to 35 miles-per-gallon. The Baolei seats 7 in a captain’s chair configuration, with an 8-seat configuration as a free option.

Features

On top trims of the Baolei, technology such as cabin voice assist (like the one seen in the Honda Odyssey) is standard to ensure the family stays safe and comfortable through the entire trip. A kick-operated tailgate, swiveling and smart fold captain’s chairs, dooring alert systems, and all the rest of the tech seen on top-level Huangdous are included. (Yes, that means the anime girl holographic display, and the HUD, AND all the safety and entertainment tech from the CC is in this too. Weebs rejoice)


eV

Alongside the internal combustion engines, a fully electric variant has been developed as well, making the Baolei the very first 7-seater fully-electric vehicle in the world. The dual motor all-wheel-drive system sends the Baolei to 60 in 6.6 seconds, with an estimated top speed of roughly 267 km/h.


Pricing

The Huangdou Baolei starts at $25710 with the Cu trim. There are no rumours for sport trims any time soon.

Cu FWD: $25710
Cu AWD: $27310
Ag FWD: $31840
Ag AWD: $33830
Au FWD: $42820
Au AWD: $45500
eV: $46760

Huangdou CC allure.

The allure. version of Huangdous brave the avant-garde, taking risks that other carmakers wouldn’t usually resort to making. This time around, Huangdou abused the name for a compact crossover has transformed the CC into a hip, artsy compact crossover for the youthful generation. Its macpherson/trailing arm setup ensures optimal ride quality at an affordable price, while its fuel economy tops at a record-breaking 61 mpg.


Features

Like other Huangdous, all the communications and safety tech (including the holographic anime girl. Weebs rejoice once again) is standard.


conVERT

As a throwback to the CC-100S of the nineties, the CC allure. will be offered in a convertible coupe trim, offering 4 seats for top-down cruises with friends. The spare tire has been removed from the original CC-100S due to practicality concerns.


eV

A fully-electric trim will also be offered for the allure. Originally revealed at Auto Shanghai, the allure. EV will also be brought over to the Americas. Its performance is not ignored as well, as the eV’s AWD system pushes the crossover to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. Range is to be announced.

Logo%20Saminda

The 2020 Saminda C3 is the greatest C3 ever.

The Saminda C3 have been around for more than 55 years, and the tenth generation C3 will be much stylish, safer, quicker and more efficient. And it’s time to debut in the 2019 New York Auto Show.

Of course what we are seeing now is a concept version, but Saminda says it will look very similiar to it production version. It will ride on the latest New Structural Platform also known as nS platform. The nS platform currently underpins on the PonQi and C7, the nS platform is much more stiffer for a more engaging drive.

But it’s not just sporty that will be in the new C3, Saminda claims it will be also much comfortable and more leg room because the whole car is almost 1 inch longer.

Now here comes the interesting part, the powertrain, we got some information from Saminda about the engine option, atleast in the United States, it will be powered by either a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated or a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, we don’t know the turbocharged engine will make how much horses but the naturally aspirated will make around 148bhp.

While the C3 is one of the top-selling vehicles of all time, sales are declining as the popularity of sedans continues to decrease, but Saminda hopes the new redesign C3 will work to increase interest and better compete in the dwindling sedan market.

9 Likes

A turbocharged version of the 1.8 is what the new C3 deserves if it is to challenge hot compacts such as the I30 N and Civic Type R. While I’m at it, I’d suggest a retuned chassis to go along with the punchier engine, ensuring that it can deal with twisty roads while retaining a supple ride. Fingers crossed the resulting hot version debuts in a few months’ time.

Hornet in the 2019 NYIAS

this year marks Hornet’s first year in the 2019 New York International Auto Show, presenting considerably known models such as the Selena and Sidion.

One model, however, is considerably different from the others, with the help of 21 special individuals from Hornet’s high-tech division, a new age of Hornet may be flourished.

The Hornet Ventuno (21 in Italian) is a project in which creating a “Grand Tourer that would stand out from everyone else,” is then fleshed out to reality.

The upscale Korean grand tourer utilizes the traditional 2+2 layout, with a considerable twist that makes the car different from many other GTs available in the market today; it’s mid-engined as well.

The 21 designers and engineers that lead the development of this car made sure that it would be a car that would come from Hornet, but a Hornet that would be memorable in the eyes of many.

Utilizing an AIGCS courtesy of Zenshi and Fujitsu, modified solely for the car, the digital display allows the driver to know more about the car and utilize tools such as navigation with ease.

Powering the Ventuno is a highly modified version of Hornet’s Talos 2.4L Inline-4 engine, outfitted with a turbocharger, as well as Hornet’s Thor Hybrid System (THS) which utilizes direct drive electric motors on the front wheels, assisting in overall power delivery and stability of the Ventuno. With a 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission, Combined power output is 480 HP, and the unique grand tourer will hit 60 MPH in less than 4 seconds.

We want to show the world that Hornet is ready to get on a whole new level with the competition, and that we’re not afraid to throw our punches.

Press Event // 2020 Cheyenne

A large SUV rolls up on stage, with a V8 growl, to the tone of Arsenal Bird



The all-new, all-powerful, and now-RWD Cheyenne is finally here - take a look.

A muscular build, capable appearance and matching ability beneath the skin, the Cheyenne is just getting better and better. Go anywhere, and do anything for real.

Since the last Cheyenne received quite a favorable reception, we’ve kept the basic formula - with some enhancements, of course. City mileage crosses 25, highway over 30. The rear wheels or all four are driven via electronic/manually controlled differentials, giving sway to the go-anywhere advertising.

More quality of life improvements inside - the old V6 has been replaced, and two more engines are slated for injection into the new SUV. A standard 278 horsepower V6, higher-trim 552 horsepower V8 and a mid range 376 horsepower turbocharged V6 pull the Cheyenne onto the world stage.

The Cheyenne has more than just grunt, of course. Our renowned suite of driver assistance is available, as usual, offering automatic, toggle-able emergency braking, lane keep assist, and the effective ‘Z-Axis’ collision avoidance system.

Inside, finally, the Cheyenne offers even more - premium seating for up to seven, AutoConnect mobile device integration with a high-quality HUD and infotainment setup come with the XLT trim as standard. To top it all off, the Cheyenne even offers a rear windscreen wiper.

The new Cheyenne is due to enter the market in August 2019.

Press Event // 2020 Safehaven

After almost thirteen years, the new Safehaven light truck returns to New York to mark a new generation for the best-selling, best-working American icon.

Strong lines, strong character - backed by exceptional capability and an exceptional heritage bring the Safehaven into the new decade. The already-great light truck just gets better and better.

Fuel economy, even with our conventional ladder-frame and leaf-spring setup, crosses 36 combined, and nears 40 on the highway. The rear wheels are driven on the base model Work Truck, and all four are used in the SLT, optionally, while the Garuda ORD and XLT get two powered axles standard.

Off-road ability, of course, isn’t missing - all four-wheel drive models receive a manual locking differential front, rear and center. The Garuda model receives almost twenty inches of ground clearance, the XLT more than enough and two-wheel drive models less to ease loading.

Engines, too, are still excellent - a turbocharged 2.6 liter 4 cylinder or 3.7 liter 5 cylinder offer huge amounts of torque backed by an even larger amount of efficiency.

Standard Z-Axis collision avoidance systems are present on the SLT model and above, as with all of our vehicles. Excellent entertainment systems with integrated satellite GPS and 4G LTE are present, offering the ability to stay connected no matter where you are.

Inside, two, three or five seats are available, while a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic bring the Safehaven’s power to the ground. A sliding rear window is optional, as is a sunroof.

The Safehaven will begin to arrive at dealers in mid July 2019.

EcaMobile at NYNAS2019

Saving the world just became more luxurious.

We are proud to finally reveal the EcaMobile “Small Bid”.
After many years of research and designing we are finally able to show the pre-production car.
The ‘Small Bid’ is going to be our first Super Eco car and we are expecting to start production next year.

The car itself was designed to be able to as fuel-efficient as possible while giving the driver not only all the comfort they should expect from any EcaMobile, but also still have its own sporty soul.

To achieve this we went with many new and extreme ideas.
The body was designed to have as less drag as possible and is made 100% out of Aluminium.
Said shell is then sitting on a newly engineered Aluminium Semi-Spaceframe.
Both Front and Rear Pushrod Suspensions are made from light composite material to make them light and strong.

The engine itself is also a completely new design for EcaMobile. Our brilliant minds of Pfeil Performance created a 0.7L Turbo I3 for this car.
This engine generates 78hp and 100NM which is enough to bring the light slippery shell to 240km/h.
For best vehicle balance the engine is fitted behind the 2 seats is a Mid-engined way.
This light engine is coupled to a special 6 Speed sequential gearbox, which is able to change its behaviour accordingly to the selected drivemode.
To make it extra efficient in any situation it is fitted with a completely flat underbody and an active cooling system which closes of vents when not needed.
Even the lip and rear flaps are able to align themself for perfect airflow.
With all these measurements we can get up to 80mpg for combined and numbers way past 100mpg for city driving.

The car can seat 2 people in a Carbon Fiber / Leather interior, featuring massage seats and RGB mood lighting. The car also comes with our top-notch Audio equipment and Infotainment. We even are trying to integrate autonom driving into this car. So if we have a breakthrough in that, this will be the first car to get it.

As stated before we are trying to finalize the design in the coming months and start production next year.
For pricing and other trims you can follow us on your social medias.

How much power does that turbo four make on its own? At any rate, I am not sure that people are going to buy a four-cylinder, mid-engined grand tourer, but I am certain that it will be very fast indeed.

Named after the famous video game character from Gears of War, the 2nd generation Goldman Fenix is now here, with an all-new look inspired by supermodels and beauties from around the world.

The new Fenix is equipped with the all-new 4.0 twin-turbo V8 engine sourced from Ursula. Generating 631 PS (464 kW) and 652 Nm, it’s wildly more powerful than the V12 from the original model, with the benefits of lower fuel consumption and lighter weight.

Combined with the advanced SelectDrive 7-speed DCT transmission, the all-new Fenix can handle up to 333 km/h with a 3.1 seconds to 100 km/h from standstill.

Inside the car the advanced AWD system and RoadControl Advanced (RCA) active sport suspension helps the car run faster on the straights and steers more responsive while cornering. Active DCT with launch control helps the car easily master any kinds of roads, regardless of condition.

To create the unique driving feel of the car, Goldman and Ursula have teamed up to develop and test the new car for more than 200,000 kilometers just to find the sweet spot for the experience.

The interior is now loaded with the luxury you want, from Nappa leather seats to the unique InfinityRoof to the advanced Ursula Guide voice assistant. And with more than 60 interior colour choices, you can design your very own car depending from your style.

Even important is, we have officially contracted with Turn 10 Studios, the creators of the popular Forza Motorsport series to create our very own software for the touchscreen multi-function display. The all-new multi-function display provides the driver to easily view and customize from a choice of more than 40 modes for ordinary driving, track days and anything else.

With an all-new carbon fiber monocoque chassis the new Fenix is much lighter than before. Besides, we have focused more on quality and design to build the car, just to let it’s would-be owners experience the feeling in an whole new level. (Which means to give us another excuse to justify it’s 2000+ kg weight)

With that said the new Fenix will be produced solely by a specialized team consists of 40 expert builders selected by harsh tests and stringent quality controls, to maintain the car’s quality and exclusivity. All cars will only be produced in Goldman’s all-new facility in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Buyers of the car can have an option to have their car collected directly from the factory, while having a guided tour of the history, production in the facility, accompanied with meals in a specialized VIP restaurant serving Australian delights.

The all-new Fenix will be showcased in NYIAS in New York City, and also the Goldman Museum located in Perth, Australia for a limited time. We don’t have the price yet but orders for the car starts now.

Melbourne is the state capital of Victoria, for god’s sake!

Anyway, the Fenix looks like it could rival outright supercars such as the 600LT and Huracan Evo for thrust, and beat them on usability is well.

Axuma at the New York International Auto Show


The pinnacle of a car manufacturer’s lineup is an important spot to fill. The flagship sedan, the tippity top of the totem pole. In a market of an ever-growing love for crossovers, why would we reveal sedans first?

A luxury sedan is unmatched in the eyes of consumers. You think of Rolls-Royce, boom, there’s a Phantom. Mercedes-Benz? The S-Class springs to mind. By unveiling the SJ as our most luxurious model, we’re establishing a brand identity unmatched to anyone else. The usability and the stylishness of the best from Germany, and the build quality, materials, and fit and finish from the best of our home country, Japan.

We are Axuma, and this is what we can do. Be your own inspiration.

Unmatched Style


When we set out to design our most prestigious, most expensive model, we took into consideration what it means to be “upper class.” An imposing road presence is achieved with a wide grille, and enhanced with the signature chromed wing vents which flank each side of the car’s face. Classiness is dealt with by using tasteful chrome accents along each side of the car, and by curving the body to our advantage. 19” to 21” wheels can be optioned, depending on the engine choice.

The windowline extends and follows the C-pillar to make the car look longer and more spacious, which gives the effect of a more sporting presence and more luxurious taste. The side of the car is sculpted to be conservative while remaining classy and intriguing to look at.

At the back, the Axuma style has been applied here in a new style but is still familiar. Full LED taillights curve around each corner and meld gracefully into the license plate surround and the chrome bar that runs from each end, right underneath the AXUMA lettering.

Premium Performance


The engine is the heart and soul of a car. When you buy a luxury car, you want it all. A smooth, powerful, and efficient engine. Not too loud, not too complicated, and not too crazy. That’s why we offer two engines in the Axuma SJ. The 3.0L twin-turbo unit is there, which has been well received so far, making over 330 silky smooth horsepower while being responsive and efficient.

However, the big news is that we’ve developed an entirely new engine for the job. We wanted something powerful, smooth, efficient and rock solid, and so we skipped the turbos on this one. Yes that’s right, a brand new engine without the advantage of modern turbocharging. However using our knowledge of excellent engine design and some of the most well proven new technologies, we’ve rolled out the RT-series V8.

It’s made entirely of aluminum-silicon and employs dual-overhead cams and dual injection to make 420 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The impressive thing is that we’ve tuned this to be the smoothest engine on sale today, and it makes 90% of its torque from 1600 to 6100 RPM, meaning you’ll have a jet-like pull whenever you use your right foot. The best part? You can still get fuel economy that’s class competitive. Power is sent to the rear wheels, or optionally all four through the Farox 8-speed automatic we all know and love.

Interior Fit for a King


Inside sits 4 or 5 seats, with a traditional analog gauge cluster and analog clock gracing the center stack. Like the rest of Axuma, our goal is traditional luxury, with a modern flare - it still offers all the modern safety and convenience tech you’d find in the competitors. It has an 8-inch screen between the silver-backed gauges, and a 10.8 inch AxuMedia screen laying landscape in the dashboard. Real, high quality buttons are used for your HVAC and climatized seats. Keep yourself comfortable with heated and cooled seats, which can adjust in 16 different ways and massage you. Rear passengers can even recline if they like. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the range, as is Bluetooth connectivity. The car even comes with a 1-year subscription to SiriusXM radio. Blind spot monitoring, 360-degree camera, parking sensors, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, you name it. If it’s a feature to keep your car on the road and as safe as possible, it’s here in your Axuma.
