“With the Ford Kuga we are delivering to customers a highly capable, expressive and charismatic vehicle,” said Brad Brownell, Vice President Marketing, Sales and Service for Ford Australia. “The Ford Kuga will appeal to those customers looking for something a bit different and help extend Ford Australia’s model range.

“Its distinctive design DNA – shared with other Ford products in our portfolio – Ford’s acclaimed on-road vehicle dynamics and premium-like product quality are just some of the highlights Ford Kuga will deliver to customers in this competitive market segment.”

Importantly, the Ford Kuga customers will have peace of mind as the compact SUV will be available with myFord Capped Price servicing.

Sound foundation

The Ford Kuga is based on Ford’s acclaimed C-car architecture – already well proven in the Ford Focus. With Ford Kuga, the designers and engineers have successfully integrated key driver and passenger requirements for a compact SUV into the distinctive design.

The exterior is handsome and sporty; demonstrating how the company’s flexible design form language can be applied successfully to the crossover genre.

Well-balanced and with good proportions, the dynamic Ford Kuga provides spacious accommodation for driver and passengers despite being based on a compact footprint.
A high-quality interior has been designed to complement the exterior to offer a highly practical and contemporary vehicle.

The Ford Kuga comes with full-time, ‘intelligent’ All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) and will be
available in a choice of two distinct series levels – Trend and Titanium. Both models are powered by Ford’s acclaimed Duratec 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine.

A high level of standard equipment includes Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with combined Anti Rollover Mitigation (ARM), and ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), both significant driver assistance technologies, plus Ford Kuga models are equipped with a ‘Ford Power’ start button. The Ford Kuga also gains a strong safety structure that makes extensive use of high-strength steels, which helps contribute to a 5-star ANCAP safety rating.

The Ford Kuga has been styled and finished with a high level of attention to detail. Every aspect of the car has been designed and manufactured to promote positive emotional responses from the driver and passengers.

Ford Kuga also demonstrates Ford’s acclaimed driving dynamics, a strong and competent safety pedigree, high levels of quality and craftsmanship and a competitive crossover package. A high seating position, ‘intelligent’ AWD and sensible stowage areas also make the SUV a very attractive proposition.

“We’re confident that the Ford Kuga’s arrival will raise the bar in the hotly contested crossover segment,” Bob Graziano, President and CEO, Ford Australia, said. “The vehicle’s styling and a long list of features will appeal to customers across a number of segments.”

Holden’s 2012 Colorado mini-site will go live today, coinciding with the arrival of a number of pre-production vehicles for local engineering evaluation and promotional activities to be held at Holden dealerships around Australia.

The 2012 Holden Colorado range will offer customers three body styles – single cab, space cab and crew cab – and offer two all-new 2.5-litre and 2.8-litre DOHC in-line 4-cylinder turbo diesel engines.

Both engines are tuned to deliver peak torque low in the rev range for maximum driveability and cargo carrying capability, while the 2.8-litre engine – when paired with the optional six-speed automatic transmission – produces 10 per cent more power and 40 per cent more torque than the outgoing 3.0-litre diesel powertrain it replaces.

The new Colorado will boast a class-leading 3.5-tonne towing capacity across the 2.8-litre turbo diesel range and an impressive 3.0-tonne towing capacity on all 2.5-litre variants.

An extensive list of safety features will be standard across the range, including driver and front passenger airbags, side curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brake force Distribution and Electronic Stability Control.

Colorado will also be equipped with lifestyle and comfort features including Bluetooth® connectivity, air-conditioning, power windows, auxiliary plug and USB port, two auxiliary power outlets and iPod® compatible audio system.

Holden Executive Director Sales, Marketing and Aftersales, John Elsworth said the company had been working hard to finalise the local range ahead of the Colorado’s official launch since the show car was revealed at the Australian International Motor Show in Melbourne last July.

“The new Colorado is a new era for Holden LCVs and will play a vital role in our product renaissance. We’re so excited about its performance as a tough, daily workhorse and active recreational vehicle that we wanted to preview the range as soon as possible,” Mr Elsworth said.

“This is the most impressive light truck ever designed by General Motors, and we expect it to be a serious challenger in the competitive Australian light commercial market.

“Our diesel-only powertrain strategy means we’ll offer two very competitive, responsive engines that boast impressive towing capacity of up to 3.5-tonne, which we know our customers will love.

“A number of new Colorados are already out on the road gathering important data on engine and transmission performance, drive quality and suspension tune. This evaluation work will continue for the next few months to make sure it is perfectly suited for Australian roads and conditions.”

“And in the meantime customers will have the chance to inspect the new range at Holden dealerships from April, with a number of Colorados touring the country as part of our pre-launch roadshow.”

Holden is currently performing local development work on the new Colorado using a series of engineering tests, which includes a rigorous five-month real-world drive quality evaluation on Australian roads.

The Colorado workhorse will be put through its paces in a range of recreational activities typically experienced by light commercial vehicle customers, including four-wheel driving, towing, farming, camping and fishing.

Designed for the sole purpose of jump starting and simple to operate, three models are available including a 12V 3000A, 12/24V 3000A and a 12/24V 4500A unit. Each is housed in durable injection moulded housing incorporating a premium heavy duty sealed AGM high cranking battery.

To ensure longevity of the Jump Starter, a 4A Pro-Charge battery charger is supplied with each unit. Automatic in operation the Pro-Charge delivers a comprehensive 6 stage charge via sophisticated electronics, producing a faster and more accurate charge ensuring the highest performance.

Polarity and surge protection are standard across all three models. An ANL fuse offers the necessary protection for the user and the Jump Starter, preventing expensive and irreversible damage. Fuse replacement is quick and easy requiring only a screwdriver to complete.

The Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre is again bristling to capacity, with variety and value sure to please riders of all ages.

Triumph has spared no expense in the air-freight of its exciting new Explorer, an exciting update to the expanding adventure category.

A ride-by-wire electronic throttle system sees the inclusion of rider aids such as traction control, cruise control and ABS.

Its shaft drive system makes it a true adventure tourer and means more maintenance-free miles.

The iconic British manufacturer will also feature its new Speed Triple R.

Suzuki will also weigh into the adventure category contention, with its 2012 V-Strom 650 featuring a range of updates over its predecessor.

6kg lighter than the previous model, the V-Strom receives an updated fuel injection system and has had mechanical losses in the engine reduce, resulting in improved fuel economy.

BMW’s new S 1000 RR is another highly-anticipated arrival. The 2012 model builds on the success of the original release, with data and feedback from race teams and customers alike.

Changes to suspension, steering head angle and swing arm pivot are present on the new Superbike, which includes Race ABS, Dynamic Traction Control and Quick Shift modes as standard, with no price increase over the original RRP.

Highlights of Yamaha’s comprehensive display will be the 2012 updates to its best-selling YZF-R1 and WR450F.

Feedback direct from its factory MotoGP team has allowed Yamaha to develop both the chassis and engine of the R1 to a new level of performance and comfort.

Key to the new model is the advanced Traction Control System, giving the rider complete confidence in any conditions.

Ground-up changes to the WR450F have made it one of the market’s most sought-after enduro machines.

A new aluminium bilateral beam frame sharpens steering, while the harsh terrain of trails is tamed by twin-chamber suspension front and rear.

Ridden on stage by Vince Neil, the bike features a leather wrap designed to replicate tattoos on human skin.

A bike created as a tribute to the creator of MMA brand Tapout, the late Charles ‘Mask’ Lewis, will also capture plenty of attention.

400-man hours were spent fitting the bike with aftermarket and custom fabricated parts before being finished with artwork that must be seen to be believed.

The locally-built Indian – Retro 37 bike will be a talking point for custom enthusiasts, with its design and detail making it a multiple award winner.

A 1901 motor bicycle, the Wearwell Stevens, will turn the clock back. The engine is the first of its kind produced, and, amongst hundreds of new motorcycles, will illustrate how far the industry has come in over a century of change.

Features of the XT BT50 include air-conditioning, Bluetooth®, cruise control; MP3 compatible CD player with USB input, steering wheel mounted audio controls, trip computer and power windows and mirrors, 17-inch alloy wheels, front fog lamps, dual-zone climate control, leather gear shift knob and steering wheel, satellite navigation and chrome trim

A host of additional new features including satellite navigation, leather seats, auto-dimming rear view mirror, Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Hill Launch Assist (HLA) are now also available for the first time on the BT-50 range

All-New BT-50 sets the safety benchmark with every model featuring Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Traction Control (TCS), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Roll Stability Control (RSC). Additionally the XTR is equipped with dual front, side and curtain SRS airbags to ensure the highest level of occupant protection.

The 3.2 L 5 Cylinder diesel engine produces power of 147 kW @ 3,000 rpm and torque of 470 Nm @ 1,750 – 2,500 rpm and mates perfectly to the 6 speed manual. The box is a little notchy and getting into second gear is a dog going up and down. It almost seems as the spring pushes the lever towards 4th gear and you need to hold it tight to slot it in.

Thankfully the powerful motor has an abundance of torque low down and second gear becomes almost superfluous. Third gear is perfectly fine for roundabouts and turning corners. However I would buy the brilliant auto instead.

This time we took the BT50 on the sands of Stockton Beach north of Newcastle NSW. For those of you that know the area it has some of the hardest and softest sand on the east coast and some challenging dunes. The BT50 has an electronically controlled, shift-on-the-fly transfer case that allows the driver to shift between 2WD and 4WD at any time using a switch conveniently located on the floor console.

Letting the tyres down to 18psi was all that was necessary to provide an easy driving experience. The Mazda BT50 just glided over the sand without any hassle. The combination of wide tyres, low pressure and plenty of torque ensured that climbing dunes was a breeze. The suspension kept the occupants comfortable and with the work that has gone into reducing the NVH the ride was better than almost every other dual cab I have driven.

If you are in the market for a robust dual cab Ute for towing, work or recreational purposes, you just have to have a look at the Mazda BT50. It will tow 3350Kg with 335 Kg tow ball rating, handles off road situations with ease, glides over the sand like Lawrence of Arabia, plenty of internal room and almost car like handling with quirky looks to differentiate it from the bunch. It certainly has set the benchmark.

What is good?
• Diesel’s great power/economy
• Large deep tray
• Driveability (for a Ute)

What’s not so good?
• 2nd gear a dog up and down
• Driver’s window not auto (even though marked as auto)
• Driver’s seat needs tilt adjustment

After 2 weeks of racing, the Polaris RZR XP 900 proved it is one of a kind, as the team reached the initial goal by crossing the finish line in Lima without any technical issues, claiming the win in 2 different classes! The RZR XP 900 also managed to finish some of the longest and hardest stages in the top 30, finishing 42 overall in the car class. No doubt, this was a unique and historic performance.

“In Puerto Plata, at the start of the race, everybody was amazed to see the Polaris. Some of them were even laughing! But day after day, many of them were not smiling when the RZR XP overtook them in the desert” said Polaris Australia Country Manager, Peter Harvey. “We showed everybody the RZR XP 900 is the best SxS, in a dedicated class race. It is awesome to drive and it can blow away its competitors when the terrain becomes technical.”

“No doubt that teams with more expensive cars and buggies will start looking at Polaris RZR as a more affordable extreme performance vehicle. This is a trend we’re starting to see in Australia also.”

Polaris Australia will be racing the RZR XP 900 in 2012 in a special class developed for Side x Side vehicles and will be competing in four rounds of the Australian Rally Championship. The Side x Side class is open to all people wishing to compete and race in the ARC.

It’s a Honda and is powered by a 1,237cc, V4 engine which has been installed for the first time in a Honda adventure sports touring motorcycle. The engine has been optimised for stronger low and medium rpm drive, delivering smooth power to make the Crosstourer feel effortless on long rides.

Boasting the option of Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission, the Crosstourer is a supremely versatile motorcycle as seamless and smooth gear changes are ensured. Using two electronically controlled clutches, the system offers the choice of manual gear shifting and two fully automatic modes one for general use and another for high performance riding.

Chosen for its excellent weight to rigidity balance, the Crosstourer’s die-cast aluminium frame mounts long-travel suspension systems front and rear to deliver an engaging riding experience and a comfortable ride.

Designed to excel on a huge variety of road surfaces, the front and rear suspension systems both offer generous amounts of controlled, bump-absorbing travel. The rigid 43mm upside-down telescopic forks offer reassuring control with precise steering and stability, even during hard cornering and heavy braking. Meanwhile, the Pro-Link rear suspension configuration combines strong traction with ride quality. Both the front forks and rear shock are adjustable for both tension and preload, allowing riders to alter chassis characteristics to suit their riding style and intended usage.

Honda’s Traction Control System (TCS) and Combined ABS underline the new machine’s any-road, any-weather capability. The two ensure rider peace of mind, even in low-grip conditions.

Honda’s new Crosstourer has been designed with stylish functionality in mind; sharp edges accentuate its rugged adventure style while a non-bulky front gives a feeling of lightness and communicates refined sportiness.

The Crosstourer is a machine designed to give its rider the feeling that anything is possible: no journey is too long or too demanding and no road or surface impassable. The Crosstourer will surpass expectation when faced with any riding terrain and will respond to any riding style.

Available in Honda Dealerships nationally in April 2012, the Crosstourer will be available in two striking colours; Pearl Sunbeam White and Candy Prominence Red. Information on price will follow.

With its Asia Pacific base just a short drive from the venue, the brand has invested heavily in its core moto and watersports markets.

JetPilot will make a splash as it takes naming sponsorship of the JetPilot Water Zone where a host of exciting freestyle jet-ski demonstrations will take place.

Stone and Cooke will showcase the best moves in their stand-up ski arsenal at up to 3 shows daily. Stone will also take part in a world-record attempt during Sunday’s performances.

JetPilot is also a major sponsor of the Monster Energy Showtime FMX team, Australia’s longest-running action sports outfit.

Kick-starting a busy schedule of shows across the country, riders Kain Saul, Brad Burch and Matty McFerran will put on a series of demo’s to show off FMX’s most popular and progressive moves.

JetPilot is behind the efforts of the popular Brown’s Grafix Mini Moto team, who show that just 50cc of mini bike power is enough to put on a spectacular show.

Visitors will have the chance to meet and greet with JetPilot’s athletes at its exhibition stand.

JetPilot’s Darren Attard said the event was a perfect fit for the brand.

“The consumer base of the Expo loves everything with a motor and our brand has been driven by this concept for over 25 years,” said Attard.

“The Gold Coast offers a great lifestyle for all the sports we back and believe in.

“We have been heavily involved with Showtime FMX, Wire Watercraft Riding and the Brown’s Grafix Mini Moto show for a long time and they are all at the top level of their fields.

“The crowd is going to be pumped on what they see!”

Visitors can pick up show-only specials on JetPilot gear and apparel at the clearance sale which will run throughout the Expo.

20,000 visitors are expected to attend the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre’s largest consumer exhibition.
