The model will also feature start / stop technology as well
as active grille shutters to squeeze out a few more miles per gallon.
Increasing the use
of active grille shutters, which largely remain open during air - conditioning use, cold weather or higher engine coolant temperatures.
Add in the
standard active grille shutters and standard air - suspension system which allows you to choose from five different ride heights to create an exceptional handling experience.
A new fuel - efficiency package, standard equipment on diesel models, further helps bolster efficiency by
incorporating active grille shutters that reduce aerodynamic drag at cruising speeds.
As before,
active grille shutters ahead of the radiator close when extra cooling airflow isn't needed in order to improve aerodynamics for fuel efficiency.
Every trim is also equipped with stylish features like 15 - inch five - spoke alloy wheels with two - tone wheel covers and a patterned acrylic grill overlay
with active grille shutter.
Other techie features include
active grille shutters for improved fuel economy, collision warning with brake support, idle stop / start, blindspot monitors and a 180 - degree front camera that nearly can peer around corners.
The car also has something even in common with a Tesla Model S besides plugging in — its coefficient of drag is 0.24 and this is without door handles that retract and with an open grille like a conventional car — although
active grille shutters do contribute to the aerodynamics.
The Cruze engine gets help
from active grille shutters that keep wind out of the engine compartment at speed and skinny low - rolling - resistance tires.
Beside a more fruitful heart, the 2014 Ram 1500 also
receives active grille shutters for better air flow, along with electric power steering, which relieves the engine from consistently powering a hydraulic pump.
The hood and the cowl — the area where the windshield meets the hood — are lower than those of the current model and contribute to the Malibu's greater aerodynamic performance, as do
active grille shutters on LS and LT models.
Upper and
lower active grille shutters help improve aerodynamics; the running boards, tow hook covers, skid plates, vents, and under - body shielding all receive optimized geometry for the same reason.
For the 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum, a new mesh grille with
active grille shutters sits between more rectangular LED headlights, new LED foglamps are integrated into C - shaped housings that also function as air curtains, and the lower front intake gets a new design with a more prominent skid plate.
They gave it flowing windswept lines to slice through the air with ease, and such improvements as: an
available active grille shutter that reduces drag by closing by itself at high speeds, newly sculpted tail lights, and a low aero - drag underbody.
The Lacrosse's HID headlights perched
atop active grille shutters for improved fuel efficiency makes for envious viewing when it glides on the streets extending a definitive royal touch to the sedan.
It reprograms the EV mode to allow electric - only drive up to 82 mph, adjusts cooling fan and AC compressor timing, and
tweaks active grille shutter closing times.

According to Nissan, the Versa Note will have best - in - class cargo space and get up to 40 mpg on the highway with help from Nissan's
first active grille shutter.
They take about half - a-day to perform, and include changes like increasing the max speed of the electric - only mode to 85 mph (136 km / h) from 62 mph (100 km / h);
modifying active grille shutter deployment; and halving engine warm - up time.
The entire lineup gets a mild facelift as well, consisting mainly of, out back, an integrated spoiler at the top of the tailgrate, integrated exhaust tips and a new D - pillar; and, in front, completely new lighting elements, as well as a new grille with
active grille shutters behind it.
The concept has a new EcoBoost engine (probably the new 2.3 liter that we expect to see in the new Mustang and the Lincoln MKC) with stop / start technology, along with
active grille shutters up front.
Supplement with attention
grabbing active grille shutters, an accentuated body color fascia, bright side roof rails, and black headlamp bezels, this vehicle makes heads turn at every corner.
Features such
as active grille shutters, adaptive cruise control, forward - collision warning, blind - spot warning, lane - keeping assist, trailer - backup assist, power - deployable running boards, and an electronic parking brake are more likely.
The aforementioned Premium Package
adds active grille shutters, seat heaters, regenerative braking, heated steering wheel, LED lighting, black headliner, heated steering wheel, Nappa leather seats and higher - end upholstery stitching.
The Edge's
new active grille shutters, included with the EcoBoost engine, help make itself even more aerodynamic and fuel efficient.
The interior is roomier, the cargo floor is flatter, and
active grille shutters on four - cylinder models make the Outback a little more aerodynamic at highway speeds.
Four - cylinder versions of the Legacy come
with active grille shutters as standard, which automatically close to reduce aerodynamic drag.
There are also
active grille shutters for four - cylinder models, tuning changes for the CVT, and a few tweaks to the 182 - hp, 2.5 - liter four - cylinder for lower friction.
Together with an underbody aerodynamic cover and
active grille shutters, the 2016 Nissan Altima's EPA highway fuel economy is up by 1 mpg to a class - leading 39 - mpg highway.
SFE won't be available as of the model's launch, but it will include low - rolling - resistance tires, a rear spoiler and
an active grille shutter system, which automatically controls vanes in the grille based on speed and temperature, opening them only as far as necessary to cool the engine.
