AC Shnitzer-tuned BMW X5 comes to Geneva with a 518-horsepower kick

By Trevor Dermody Published March 1, 2016

Daily tasks can get boring after awhile, with the monotonous ride taking the kids to school or over to the grocery store. Thankfully, AC Shnitzer is looking to spice up the daily grind with some tuned-up versions of the BMW X5, set for a reveal at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.

According to Car Scoops, the tuning company will be bringing a selection of X5 engine selections, including an upgraded diesel that puts out 424 horsepower. The turbocharged gasoline-powered X5 also gets a boost, with 518 horses, up from 444 in the standard model. Details on the other engine specs are being kept under wraps until later this week.

In order for soccer moms to control all the power under the hood, a sports suspension kit is added. The company is also offering three wheel options for the X5 with 20-, 21-, and 22-inch wheels available in several different styles and colors.

The front skirt and rear aprons have been improved, as well as new tailpipe finishes and an integrated rear diffuser. An aluminum footrest and pedals, which are accented by the new floormats. With all these improvements, you can be sure everyone will actually be excited to driving to soccer practice.

Mini’s infotainment system is very charming, but still needs work

Main screen of the Mini infotainment system

When you think Mini, you probably don’t think of infotainment. Personally, I think of the British flag taillights, the distinct exterior, and the surprising room on the inside. But after driving the Mini John Cooper Works Countryman over the past week, infotainment might well be something I think of more often when it comes to Mini. It’s charming.

It also, however, suffers from all the traps that other legacy automakers fall into when it comes to software design. Mini has something on its hands here — but it still needs some work.
Bringing the charm
The first thing that stood out to me about the system when I got in the car was how fun it was. That all starts with the display. It’s round! No, it’s not curved — the screen is a big, round display sits in at 9.4 inches, and I found it plenty large enough for day-to-day use.

Plug-in hybrids are becoming more popular. Why? And will it continue?

There's a lot of talk about the idea that the growth in electric car sales has kind of slowed a little. It's not all that surprising -- EVs are still expensive, early adopters all have one by now, and they're still new enough to where there aren't too many ultra-affordable used EVs available. But plenty of people still want a greener vehicle, and that has given rise to an explosion in hybrid vehicle sales.

That's especially true of plug-in hybrid vehicles, which can be charged like an EV and driven in all-electric mode for short distances, and have a gas engine as a backup for longer distances or to be used in combination with electric mode for more efficient driving.

Nearly all current owners of electric vehicles (EVs) are either satisfied or very satisfied with the experience, and 92% of them plan to buy another EV, according to a survey by the Global EV Drivers Alliance.

The survey of 23,000 EV drivers worldwide found that only 1% would return to a petrol or diesel car, while 4% would opt for a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) if they had to replace their car.
