subject: Experience The Elegance Of A Luxury Sportback Vehicle [print this page] Motorists who want a small, urban cruiser no longer have to settle for a less prestigious and poorly appointed car, and the addition of the luxury Sportback means that drivers can now demand a superior driving experience alongside elegant luxury.
Luxury compact cars dont just boast premium performance, but premium interiors and design too. The experience drivers get from their potent turbo-charged engines should be matched by the quiet elegance of the driver-chosen range of style, entertainment and assistance options.
Luxurious Design
The luxury Sportback design needs to illicit the same sense of sportiness and power at rest as it does on the open road. From deep drawn clear-glass headlamps to elegant and dynamic single frame radiator grilles that define the sporty front-end, the luxury Sportback's broad, energy-charged appearance gives one the impression that it is lying in wait and could spring into action at any moment.
This feeling of absolute freedom at ones fingertips translates into an interior of relaxed control. An astonishing amount of legroom in the rear, generously dimensioned interior and sporty seats with contours that support the spine all combine to make driving an even more pleasurable experience.
Meanwhile the rounded air vents, compact instrument cluster and steering wheel design make it clear that the luxury Sportback is a sports car by design. A tall centre console and the high position of the gear lever reinforce this impression of elegant design where clearly arranged instruments make a lot of important information available to motorists at a glance.
Premium Performance
Unlike some of their iconic predecessors, the best contemporary Sportback cars boast impressive efficiency, for economic motoring and sustained performance.
Anyone in the market for a luxury Sportback should consider turbo-petrol or turbo-diesel models. These potent turbocharged engines on premium Sportback vehicles can be exceptionally efficient, with low average fuel consumption and still deliver impressive torque and exhilarating acceleration.
Often performance and efficiency are the complementary result of advanced technologies, and nowhere is this more obvious than in recent innovations to luxury Sportback cars. For example, sophisticated dual-clutch systems provide the explosive performance of sporty manual gearboxes, with the ease and convenience of an automatic. The highly efficient system also minimises fuel consumption and reduces emissions.
Innovative Technologies
Being a luxury vehicle, drivers can also expect electronic driver assistance systems, such as advanced parking and hillside assist options.
Parking assistance systems use up to 10 ultrasonic sensors to search for suitable parking spaces beside the road and can do so while driving by at up to 30 kilometres an hour. Once a parking space has been found these sensors can actually calculate the ideal parking path.
Hillside assistance on the other hand allows for easy starts on an incline with zero roll back. A driver can change from the brake to the accelerator and the car will remain stationary by retaining the brake pressure for a moment after the brake pedal is released.
Contemporary luxury Sportback vehicles combine classic motor design touches with cutting-edge design flair, incorporating the latest innovations in performance and comfort to deliver a driving experience that is as elegant as it is exhilarating.
