2016 Ford Explorer Specs

The 2016 Ford Explorer comes standard with front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is available. It seats up to seven, and a 3.5-liter V6 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission are standard. There are two optional EcoBoost engines, including a new-for-2016 turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, as well as a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6. The Explorer comes in base, XLT, Limited, Sport and Platinum trims. It receives some interior and exterior updates, but is otherwise largely unchanged for 2016. As a result, this overview uses applicable research and reviews from the 2011 to 2016 model years.

2016 Honda Ridgeline Specs

The 2016 Honda Ridgeline is expected, like its predecessor, to be offered only as a four-door crew cab. It will likely lift its powertrains from the 2016 Honda Pilot crossover, meaning buyers will get a 3.5-liter V-6 engine rated for around 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. Both six- and nine-speed automatic transmissions are likely to be offered. The last Ridgeline was available only with four-wheel drive, and we expect that trend to continue for the new model.

Look for the 2016 Honda Ridgeline to make its official debut before the end of this year. As official teaser photos had revealed, the 2016 Honda Ridgeline will have an aerodynamically sculpted silhouette, with its windshield and roofline gracefully curved to help reduce drag, and thus improves highway fuel efficiency.

2016 Porsche 911 Specs

In the steering wheel of the new 2016 model year 911, you’ll see a driving mode switch, a bit like you’ll find on modern Ferraris. Choose from Normal, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual, letting drivers select different models on the PASM active dampers (now standard across the range), transmission behavior and the airiness of the sports exhaust, where equipped. And a Sports Response Button on the PDK will prepare the transmission for an extended 20sec burst of extra acceleration before overtaking; razor-fast throttle response and the lowest, punchiest gear are pre-selected.
