Sentences with phrase «low drag contributes»

The tail's low drag contributes to the Volt's drag coefficient of 0.28 that helps eke every last mile from the battery.

Not exact matches

Outside, the XE is instantly recognizable as a modern Jaguar, with multiple design cues that bring it in line with the bigger XF and XJ sedans, and elements that help aid airflow over the car and contribute to its low drag coefficient.

The roof, however, sits an inch lower, contributing to a significant aerodynamic - drag reduction.

We'd probably lose our patience with the car without that shorter gear, but there's little doubt it contributes to the V's lower mpg versus a regular Prius (51/48/50)-- along with the wagon's extra weight and less slippery body (0.29 coefficient of drag versus a 0.25 Cd on the Prius hatch).

For 2019, the overall weight of the system is reduced by 17 pounds and low - speed drag torque is reduced by 50 percent, both contributing to fuel savings.

The Tahoe's flush headlamps, smooth wrap - around bumper, lower air dam and steeply - raked windshield all contribute to its low 0.363 coefficient of drag.

Another important aerodynamic detail that greatly contributes to the Insight body's low coefficient of drag is the careful management of underbody airflow.

Features that contribute to good aerodynamics are a low A-pillar shoulder with adapted A-pillar geometry, aerodynamically optimized exterior mirrors, low - drag wheel trims and serrated wheel spoilers on the front and rear wheel arches.

lower than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which reduces aerodynamic drag, as well as the centre of gravity, and contributes to the vehicle's stability and aggressive stance.

Flush - mounted headlamps, door handles and window glass contribute to low aerodynamic drag, resulting in a general absence of wind noise on the highway.

This aerodynamic performance contributes to impressively low wind noise, aids fuel consumption and strong high - speed stability and, of course, is vital in ensuring ideal handling balance through optimising drag and lift forces.

Contributing to a drag coefficient of 0.26 are Air Curtains in the front apron, active flaps in the grille and lower intake, plus a rear wiper concealed under the roof spoiler — neat touch!

The air suspension lowers itself into a more aerodynamic ride height that both lowers the center of mass, which improves stability at high speeds, and reduces air turbulence beneath the SUV, which reduces aerodynamic lift and drag, further contributing to the feeling of a more planted ride.

The hood of Ford's latest pony car sits lower at the front, contributing to a lower coefficient of drag, and Ford engineers contributed hundreds of hours over the past several years to help improve the car's aerodynamic performance in other ways.

The integration also meant the design team had to design new air - funneling underbody covers for both the front and rear, which was a plus as they contribute to a lower co-efficient drag (0.33 from 0.35).

If contributing to an RRSP is not especially valuable (because the tax drag on non-registered is low and / or the final tax arbitrage is low with higher rates to withdraw), then contributing early isn't helpful.
