Ceder Paris Motor Show 2018
2.5T Signature AWD in Pouring Umber pictured.
For it’s 4th generation we decided to take the basic principles of the Aspera, liftback design and long bonnet, and infuse it with the latest iteration of our design language to create a restrained yet evocative design incorporating seductive lines all around the car to create a classy and powerful appearance without traces of vulgarity.
This is our first model to include Phase II of our Opensky Engine range including our newest 2.0 and 2.5 litre engines featuring modular architecture and Variable Valve Timing on all cams as well as our updated V-AIL system. The 2.0 litre I4 is available in one state of tune producing 200HP and 253NM of torque, unlike the 2.0 litre engine the 2.5 litre has 5 cylinders inline thanks to the modular design of the engine series and is also available in two states of tune. The lesser powerful version produces 262HP and 320NM of torque whereas the top of the range variant produces a total of 300HP and 367NM of torque, making it the most powerful Aspera to date outclassing previous 3.5 litre V6s and giving it enough power to keep up with competition from the Germans and English.
These Phase II updates are coming to all Ceder vehicles in 2019 and provide increased fuel economy, efficiency, throttle response and power over the original.
The chassis of the Aspera has been designed using the same technology as that of the MKVI Friala utilizing lightweight AHS steel and incorporating a similar Macpherson Strut/Transverse engine layout as the Friala, but instead using a Multilink rear suspension design opposed to Double Wishbone.
Like the Friala the Aspera makes use of various aluminium panels in the body to aid both fuel economy and speed.
For the first time in an Aspera model AWD is available in the standard liftback model, aiding in off the line traction and high speed road holding, rather than just the estate models. A 6 speed dual-clutch transmission is also available in more expensive trims.
The interior in all trim models consists of 5 premium quality leather seats, advanced infotainement with voice activation and a high quality sound system. The Aspera also comes with a multitude of airbags and safety devices to keep you and your passengers safe.
