The lowest
frontal drag coefficient (13.0 CdA) in its class.
This results in a lower
frontal drag coefficient, which ultimately leads to a more efficient drive.
Not exact matches
Thanks to its remarkably slippery
drag coefficient of 0.24, the relatively small
frontal area and the low - riding suspension, the Bentley is the only SUV to date that cracks the 186 - mph barrier.
Usually measured in pounds, aerodynamic
drag increases in proportion to an object's
frontal area,
drag coefficient and the square of its speed
It also helps that the Discovery's
frontal area is reduced and the aerodynamic
drag coefficient is just 0.33, which is impressively low for a full - size SUV.
Aerodynamics:
Drag coefficient: Cd = 0.32
Frontal area: A = 2.013 m2 Cd x A = 0.644 Power Unit:
Weight Distribution, F / R — 63/37
Frontal Area — 21.37 ft2
Drag Coefficient — 0.40 Fuel Tank Capacity — 16 gal (61 L) Seating Capacity, F / R — 3/3 Front - Head Room — 38.4 (976)- Leg Room - Max.
[22] This gives it a
drag area, the product of
drag coefficient and
frontal area, of CdA = 0.74 m2 (8.0 sq ft).
As indicated above, the
coefficient of the
drag coefficient (0.258) and the vehicle's
frontal area (1.7 m2) is 0.44 m2.
The 4.2 FSI version has a
drag coefficient of only 0.26, with the
frontal area measuring 2.41 m2 (25.94 square ft).
Note that the Model S won over the Prius because while they had the same
drag area, the Tesla had a lower
coefficient of
drag and a larger
frontal area, so it did better starting from a disadvantaged position (smaller
frontal areas offer less resistance to incoming air, all else being equal).
