The Chery A5 is a class B sedan that comes in 1.6L, 1.8L and 2.0L ACTECO engines. It also comes in either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The A5 features a multi-link independent rear suspension, and with a curb weight of 2,844 lbs., you know that this one is light for a sedan (the average US sedan weighs 4,000 lbs). Aside from standard safety equipments such as the ABS and EBD and dual SRS airbags, the A5 also features a CAN-BUS intelligent system that drives its electronics in a well worked system. The A5 comes in a super large body of 179.2 X 68.9 X 58.4 inches that should account for a well spacious interior.

The A5 is not fuel-greedy. Fuel consumption at 90 km/h is a sweet 6.6 liters/100 km for the 1.6 engine, 6.8 liters / 100 km for the 1.8 engine, and 7.2 liters /100 km for the 2.0 engine. Now, there are only a few cars that can take you as far as that; the Chery A5 is definitely one economical machine.

So what makes the A5 something for the future? You should know that A5 hybrids already won a “Gold Award for Green Environment” from China Automotive News. Hybrid or not, that doesn’t only underline the A5 prowess, it also shows the commitment of Chery in producing one clean machine such as the A5.

Something that is so beautiful and powerful at the same time could be a rare valuable treasure. And Honda Jazz could be one of the best examples in the world of automobiles.

Elegant and smart looking despite its little size, Honda Jazz is a sight to fall for even from the outside. When it first came out in 2002, this Honda model has captured the interest of many because of its innovative and gorgeous style that somehow changed the standard for classy automobiles. On the inside, the car is surprisingly spacious because its fuel tank is placed below the front seat, leaving bigger spaces on its body. It also has all the features one looks for a car and more.

Its looks not only creates style but contributes to improve its fuel efficiency. Its aerodynamic design is detailed to reduce air resistance.

With a power of 99 bph from the 83 bph of its first parent with a fuel consumption of 53.3 mpg , today’s Honda Jazz has really improved in terms of style and power, which was unthinkable back in its first launch after it toppled down many cars in world sales ranking.

By its improved engine, it runs for113 mph with a more smoother and noiseless traveling experience. It consumes 53.3 mpg of fuel and emission rates 123 g/km. It can drop down to 120 g/km if you choose to buy the six-speed automatic option.

Honda Jazz is perfect for long distance driving pleasure because of the impressive 1.5L i-VTEC technology.
