2018 Jeep Compass:
Vehicle Summary: The Compass is one of Jeep’s most affordable SUVs, slotting above the Renegade in price but below the more expensive Wrangler, Cherokee, and flagship Grand Cherokee. The Compass replaces the outgoing and dated last-generation Compass and Patriot models. The new Compass is a good bet for those who do not need the size and capability of the larger Cherokee but want something bigger than the subcompact Renegade. Overview: With the release of the all-new Compass for the 2017 model year, changes to the 2018 Jeep Compass will likely include minor feature additions, a limited-edition model, and 1-2 new exterior colors — we’ll update this space as soon as we have official info. The powertrains will likely carry over and, for the 2017 model year, include the 180-hp 2.4-liter I-4 that comes mated to a nine-speed automatic, six-speed automatic, or six-speed manual. Expect to see the return of Jeep Active Drive and Jeep Active Drive Low all-wheel-drive systems. Jeep will probably retain the current Compass trims (Sport, Latitude, Trailhawk, and Limited) but may add a new luxurious or off-road trim. In the next few years, we hope to see a more powerful engine offered, after the slow acceleration we experienced in our First Drive review...

2018 Audi Elaine:
Audi Elaine and Aicon: Level 4 and 5 autonomous vehicles on the horizon for Audi. Elaine: Featuring 23-inch alloy wheels and the stance of an SUV, Elaine builds on the Audi e-tron Sportback concept with the addition of autonomous driving equipment. Measuring in at 4.9 metres and 1.98 metres wide, the Elaine concept sits around the same dimensions as the A7. Just like the recently revealed Audi A8, the interior features touchscreens with haptic feedback, while the wing mirrors are cameras, which project their display on to the door panels. Lighting comes in the form of Matrix LEDs, but most interesting is a dynamic LED lighting channel that projects light on to the road using Miniscule Digital Matrix projects. This is designed to help indicate to other drivers when the vehicle is in its autonomous mode. Powering the Elaine is a tri-motor electric configuration that houses one motor at the front and two at the rear. Producing 320kW of power (and up to 370kW of power during overboost), the Elaine will sprint from 0-100km/h in just 4.5 seconds. With a 95kWh battery pack on board, it’s capable of travelling some 500km with two charging options — fast charging at 150kW or wireless inductive charging. Where the Elaine steps up the game is with its level 4 autonomy features. Featuring a more powerful version of Audi’s zFAS controller, the car will be capable of extending the level 3 autonomy features of the A8 beyond 60km/h to 130km/h, where the car will be able to drive entirely on its own. Elaine can change lanes automatically, pass other cars and even leave the highway and continue driving on its own. Arguably the coolest part, though, is that it can be left in an AI (Artificial Intelligence) Zone, where the car can leave and do things on its own. These include things like car parks, the car wash, a parking garage or even away to a remote area without you inside the car. It’s exciting stuff and comes in a car with an impressive concept design. Being an Audi, it’s likely to be somewhat more sedate when it’s finally launched....
