Have you been waiting for a review of the new Peugeot 2008 crossover? Here he is! And we tried: we prepared not only a full review, but also a comparison of all engines and different configurations of the new item. The increased attention to this model is quite justified, because the Peugeot 2008 crossover should become a hit of sales. Will it become?  Positioning Peugeot 2008  The Peugeot 2008 is a small crossover based on the B-class Peugeot 208, a segment that is sometimes referred to as B-SUV. The Peugeot 2008 concept car first saw the world in 2012. And already in 2013, the serial version of the car was released - the first generation Peugeot 2008 crossover. A couple of years later, in 2016, the car was updated - once this version of Peugeot 2008 was the hero of the review. The second generation of Peugeot 2008 debuted in 2019, in the spring of 2020 the car arrived in Ukraine.  The Peugeot 2008 crossover has two generations of the model: the first-born (2013) h...

 The active noise canceling system in the headphones works on the basis of two external and one internal microphone. She tries to cut out monotonous external noises, such as the sound of a subway car or passing cars, but at the same time Samsung notes that in this model they did not try to completely isolate the user. Accordingly, external sounds will still break through and, in the opinion of the company, is good for use in the city. Therefore, Galaxy Buds Live does not have a "transparency" mode, which allows you to better hear what is happening around through external microphones, because of the shape of the body it is simply not needed. I will note that the noise cancellation system does not create too much antiphase and thus does not put pressure on the eardrums, so listening to music with active ANC should be comfortable.  The battery life of the Galaxy Buds Live is announced at 6 hours with active noise cancellation plus 21 hours of listening time, adding a chargi...

 Samsung continues to expand its line of fully wireless earbuds by unveiling a new model in an unusual form factor called Galaxy Buds Live at Galaxy Unpacked 2020. At the same time, these are the first TWS headphones of the company equipped with an active noise canceling system.  But it's worth starting with the design of Buds Live, it turned out to be really unusual due to the shape of the case. The emitters here look like the seeds of leguminous plants, apparently, they were the inspiration for Samsung designers. But instead of evaluating the conventional beauty of such a solution, I would like to point out that this shape is ergonomic and follows the cavity of the auricle.  Galaxy Buds Live - Samsung's first TWS earbuds with active noise canceling  On the inside of the Buds Live speakers, there are small, interchangeable cartilage anchors that provide a more secure fit than the earbuds. But the latter is not as dense as in in-channel models, therefore, on the ...

Test drive Infiniti QX60 Hybrid 2020: TOP-5 questions and answers  As for such a large crossover , the economy is generally not bad - but, I must admit, I expected an even more noticeable result from the hybrid, albeit at the cost of reducing the engine power. Although when it comes to a premium 5-meter crossover - with a panoramic roof, BOSE audio system, xenon headlights, a 3-zone "climate", displays for rear passengers - then saving a couple of liters of fuel is hardly decisive. But the "eco-image" of the car owner and the fact of his introduction to high technologies - it may well be.  Eventually  The main question after any test drive is to buy or not? Without a shadow of a doubt I will say - if you need a large, comfortable, premium crossover for a family, then the Infiniti QX60 is not just “one of the options”, but even “one of the best options”. But is the hybrid version worth the overpayment? Taking into account the small difference in fuel consumptio...

 Test drive Infiniti QX60 Hybrid 2020: TOP-5 questions and answers  There were some other changes mentioned for the 2020 MG version - which ones?  Perhaps the main change is the multimedia system. Yes, in the cabin you can still see the large center display inscribed between the two air vents. But in fact, now a new multimedia InTouch with an 8-inch touch-screen and a modified menu is used: in general, it is more convenient to use, the system logic is more understandable . The center box has slightly changed at the back - instead of frankly outdated AV tulips, USB and HDMI connectors have now appeared. Plus various changes in details - for example, a new key fob appeared, the palette of body colors was expanded. By the way, here is the rich red color of the test car - from among the new color options.  These new things really improved the car, made it more convenient for life: I welcome such changes. All but one: the cupholders on the center console are now lidle...

 Test drive Infiniti QX60 Hybrid 2020: TOP-5 questions and answers  Wow, a lot of power. Going fast?  Yes, it goes well . According to my measurements, the Infiniti QX60 Hybrid accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 9 seconds. That practically corresponds to the passport data (8.6 seconds) and is less than a second inferior to the 3.5-liter V6 version. But the point is not even in absolute numbers, but in the sensations from acceleration and the reactions of the hybrid motor to pressing the accelerator pedal. True to its name, the hybrid really gives instant responses to the accelerator pedal. It seems that when starting from a standstill , the electric motor works out as much as possible: even if there is only 19 hp, but plus 168 Nm. As a result, the electric motor adds agility, the start and the initial set of speed are quite intense, albeit without dramatic depressions into the back of the seats. When starting from a standstill and accelerating at low speeds, the hybrid...

 Test drive Infiniti QX60 Hybrid 2020: TOP-5 questions and answers  In the past , I liked the Infiniti QX60 crossover: design, comfort, engine. The hybrid version should add another plus - economy. We study in detail the power unit of the Infiniti QX60 Hybrid and other changes to the 2020 model year car. And all in order to find answers to the TOP-5 most important questions about the new product .  Already from the name it is clear that this is a hybrid. But which one?  A very original hybrid, which even got its own brand name - Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid. Under the hood of the Infiniti QX60 Hybrid crossover, it was possible to pack a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine, a compact electric motor, an “automatic” in the form of an XTRONIC CVT variator. Plus we add a traction battery in the trunk and four-wheel drive with a traditional propeller shaft (unlike a number of other hybrids, where the rear wheels are driven by an electric motor). Now let's take a loo...
