That was just a final facelift to the long-lived platform. A replacement has been in the works for a long while but this just seals the deal!
But I’ll also point out the Xz MRZ-3 is still faster and cheaper than the Base Essence

Ah I see. Well I look forward to the new car (in a few years time)!
By the way how much is the cheapest variant of the MRZ-3? The entry level Lex 1.4 is £17640 and averages 56 mpg, whilst still doing 0-60 in 7.3 seconds…
…which is nothing compared to the equally priced Light Sport trim which is almost 1.5 seconds faster to 60

Adenine , Maesima and Erin are talking about their cars rivaling each other , while Saminda seat in a corner and read some book on how to save the environment.

I feel like both the Cierzo and Peryton are far outclassed right now.

It may end up in the UE4 engine! Although at least the concept vehicle will be shown before then
The 2016 Xz is $14,280 so slightly cheaper (only $220 
) than the Base trim Essence, with 0-60 in 6.5 seconds and average of 38 mpg.

I don’t get how they’re doing it for so little money. Our entire company was built on these sorts of cars and we’re completely lost.

Yeah, I realised this after looking at RL vehicles in this class I actually raised the price of the 2017 version to reflect this since I also learnt about intended segment markups that someone on here showed.
Since before that I just used a 20% markup like @phale for the entry level models which I believe is too low for a sports or performance car.
Although I suppose he might claim it’s a city car with those eco figures

Very strange looking city car. But maybe I’m being too simple minded

I find it interesting that on most company threads, about 90% of comments are on the looks of the cars, while on my thread, 90% of comments are on the stats. Not that I’m complaining of course
@Rk38 Yes, 20% markup is a little low on the base trim, but it’s intended to be really affordable to get more people into the Adenine family. We eat a little profit on that one, luckily we make it up with the higher markups on the other trims!
Our demographics tell us that the base Essence isn’t that popular in cities, but it’s quite popular as a stylish and efficient commuter car

Well, no surprise this happens [quote=“phale, post:29, topic:18352”]
90% of comments are on the looks of the cars, while on my thread, 90% of comments are on the stats.

just look at the numbers. all of them have drivabilities above 70. all of them are super light. all of them manage great economy. and as the models get more sporty, they also get more drivable. my Cierzo which is 3k more expensive than your Essence Light Sport at 5% more markup has a 1:1 sportiness to drivability ratio but that’s 57:57 - both of which don’t even crack 60. despite all that your model is safer and lighter. (economy isn’t better though 
)
in other words, your cars are like magic.

Correction: half of the trims have drivability over 70. The other half is super lightweight 
One thing that really helped a lot in getting the stats up for this car was a proper aero setup. (This is also probably why the economy isn’t as good.) The basic body tends to generate a lot of lift, and getting enough downforce to cancel that lift really bumped up the sportiness.

The other reason why you get so many comments on the stats - you’re making extreme cars, in fact. A blend of top notch economy and drivability for a very low price, but it’s still an extreme. Supercars usually get a lot of comments on the stats too. But - even very good - normally balanced car won’t get them, because its stats are just… normal, even if they rarely come together.

Adenine and Inline Designs are proud to present
a deep dive into the magic that happens under the hood
Adaptive Timing and Phasing (ATP)
Adaptive Timing and Phasing is a general term to describe a family of Adenine technologies used to achieve variable valve lift and timing. While the term has existed since it was introduced in the mid-1990s, there have been a range of different technologies that have fallen under this name. The current generation of ATP, referred to as Hydro-ATP, uses an electrohydraulic actuator to dynamically change valve lift to suit different driving conditions. It is similar to the system used in Fiat’s MultiAir engines; however, unlike MultiAir, which can only vary the intake valves, Hydro-ATP can vary both the intake and exhaust valves.
The system works by using a hydraulic fluid to transfer camshaft movement to the valves. As the cam lobe rotates, it actuates a piston which pushes hydraulic fluid into the valve actuator, opening the valves. However, the piston travel can be varied continuously, pushing more or less hydraulic fluid into the valve actuator, so the valve lift can be changed. At minimum piston travel, the piston is effectively disconnected from the cam lobe and the valves stay closed. This system saves space compared to the MultiAir design and allows for the use of DOHC, as well as control of both intake and exhaust valves.
This hydraulically controlled valve technology offers many advantages. Unlike older discrete systems, Hydro-ATP can continuously vary valve lift all the way down to zero. It can optimize valve lift for all different conditions including idling, low loads, and high loads. Full, continuous control of all valves means that the system is capable of Atkinson cycle (late-closing intake valves), exhaust gas recirculation (early-opening intake valves/late-closing exhaust valves), and even cylinder deactivation (closing both intake and exhaust valves).
Hydro-ATP, in combination with lean-burn direct injection, low friction piston coatings, and turbocharging, form the four key technologies that make Adenine cars so efficient.

In today’s world, crossovers are quickly becoming the most dominant segment in the market, and we can see why. Customers love the high driving position, the soft padded comfort, and the all-around practicality. Adenine has had a somewhat awkward relationship with crossovers in the past, but for the 2016 Ambience, we believe we’ve tapped into the most essential values that customers want. The base Ambience comes with a 7-speed automatic transmission and offers unprecedented levels of refinement for a very affordable price. The award-winning I6 2.4T engine is buttery smooth and exceptionally quiet, and is able to carry the Ambience to an impressive 38 MPG rating (36 MPG with AWD).
Premium - $32,500 (50% markup)
Key stats:
270hp 2.4L turbocharged inline-6

Impressed with the levels of comfort in the base Ambience? That was just the beginning. Step up to the Premium trim and get heated leather seats and a luxurious infotainment system with rear screens to keep your kids busy. The Premium tune of the 2.4T engine gains an additional 45hp and yet is even quieter in day-to-day driving with reverse-flow mufflers. The AWD system gives you the peace of mind in all driving conditions, and the semi-active dampers complete the package. If you want luxury at an affordable price - look no further than Adenine!

Hey, look! A cheap Volvo XC90! 
With the level of comfort like a normal one. The rear end looks slightly… undetailed. One question - does it have 5 or 7 seats?
Actually, we like to offer our cars with second-row captain’s chairs standard, but a bench is also available. While the wheelbase is fairly long at 2.9m, there isn’t really room behind the second row for anything more than child seats. We advise customers looking for more seating capacity to check out the Clarence minivan once it’s available!
