Tata Nexon Features, Performance & Test Drive
Tata Nexon Overview
The Tata Nexon may be Tata's first attempt to crack the sub-4 metre segment but it's one that's making headlines for all the right reasons. It's the first made-in-India car to score the full 5 stars for safety in Global NCAP's crash tests. The Tata Nexon is also the only sub-4 metre SUV to offer the option of an automatic transmission with both its petrol and diesel engine options.
It rivals the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Ford EcoSport & Mahindra XUV300. The Tata Nexon brings to the table a funky and daring design, a comfortable, feature-rich cabin, and the option of a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol or a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine, both available with a 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed AMT. Does all of this come together to make for a package that's convincing enough to be chosen over its competition? Time to get the answer!
The Nexon is a great value proposition and feels like a step up for the segment. It's a very well-rounded car, offering a good balance of safety, features, style, comfort and practicality. The diesel engine, in particular, is a major draw for the Nexon, as it offers excellent driveability and performance.While the diesel engine, with the 6-speed manual transmission or AMT is a great drive, we recommend the petrol AMT over the MT. The 3-cylinder petrol engine does have some issues with turbo-lag and the tuning of the automated manual transmission makes it more hassle-free to work around this.

Tata Nexon Exterior & Look
Smashing! The Tata Nexon is one car that has stayed true to its concept roots. Everything including the stance and overall design language can be related to the concept. In fact, a few people in and around Kochi asked us if this is a prototype car that we're driving around. The Impact Design, as Tata likes to call it, has been working quite well with all of its recent launches like the Tiago, Tigor and Hexa. The black honeycomb grille is a nice element with a chrome outline to it, flanked by the tear drop projector headlamps. These lights have a LED strip that doubles up as a DRL. Unlike the Brezza's units, these cannot be switched off. The air intake too is large and above it, pushed to the sides are eyebrow-shaped enclosures that house the fog lamps. The lower part of this nacelle is a white ceramic sash which does its job quite well in bringing your attention to the car.
Moving on to the side, the coupe-like roofline looks really cool. The ceramic sash used for the fog lamps too has been used here for the rising belt line. The wheel arches aren't unusually flared but house 16-inch wheels as standard. Tata Motors' designers have used a bluish grey colour for the Elite i20-like floating roof. At the rear, the pinched lines create a harmonious effect to portray what will be one of the most attractive derrieres on any Indian car. The lower part of the bumper has a black diffuser, which is also shared with the Tiago and its derivatives.If only looks could sell, the Nexon will be a top seller. However, the Nexon doesn't look like a true-blue SUV and instead feels like a hatchback on stilts. Remember the Vista D90 Xtreme concept?
Tata Nexon Interior & Space
Open the door and you will be welcomed by a familiar layout that we've seen in recent Tata cars. The steering wheel, for example, is the same from the Zest from 2014. The meters too are shared with the Tiago. Manufacturers generally tend to share parts with their other offerings to ease the cost of operations. Move aside from this and you will notice the all-new floating 6.5-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system. It is a vivid unit, easy to use and supports Bluetooth and Android Auto. Apple CarPlay integration will be done at a later stage. It isn't retractable though. Asking for too much, aren't we? The dashboard layout includes the premium-feeling line that runs through its length. The quality of materials used on the upper part of the dashboard though aren't as premium. Most of the buttons are centred around the dashboard and are easy to use and understand. The cooled glovebox is large and has a tray to carry around iPads and tablets. It can be removed to liberate more space to carry a soft drink can. Tata has also added height adjustable seat belts for the front occupants.
The rear passengers will feel comfortable with twin AC vents and a two-blower speed control. The boot space is pegged at 350 litres; however, the 60:40 rear split seats ensure that this capacity can be increased to an impressive 690 litres. The boot also gets a light and the loading lip too is low and hence fitting in two small suitcases doesn't look like a problem.Fit and finish, a Tata bugbear, though hasn't really improved from the other offerings by the manufacturer.
There are many firsts for a Tata car and for the segment as well. While it isn't clear yet if this will be offered as an accessory or as standard, Tata Motors showed us a wristband watch. This wristband eliminates the need to carry the key fob to places like the gym or at a party. Simply wear the band and press the door unlock request sensor. This band though temporarily disables the key fob. It is done to ensure that a second person cannot request entry into the car with the key fob or a duplicate.
Other all-new features include door lock-unlock sensors on both the front doors and boot, a new key fob with remote boot unlock function, the infotainment system we discussed earlier, sliding cover mechanism for the storage space next to the handbrake, slots to hold umbrellas in the front doors, Drive mode rotary dial, and a parking aid that switches on the reverse parking camera even when the reverse gear isn't engaged. This is apart from the automatic climate control, electrically folding mirrors, front and rear fog lamps, parcel hooks near the front and rear seats, sunglass holder, central armrest at the front and back that can also hold two cups as well as the door pockets at the front and back that will accommodate your half-litre bottles.

What clearly should have been added are automatic headlights as well as wipers. Speaking of which, the wiper blade doesn't fully clean the glass surface near the driver. This doesn't hamper vision but nevertheless could have been executed in a better fashion or by using a larger wiper blade. The sunglass holder is lined with a soft material inside; however, the access to the slot itself is a bit awkward — it didn't accommodate my aviators. The USB slot right ahead of the gear lever is too deep and isn't really the most ergonomic when it comes to usage. Also the headlamp levelling switch is placed on the stalk, making it a bit inconvenient while changing the beam on the move.
Tata Nexon Engine & Gearbox
The Nexon gets a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine (110PS/170Nm) and a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine (110PS/260Nm). Both engines come paired with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard and are also available with 6-speed automated manual transmissions (AMT). Both engines have been developed by Tata in-house, and while the petrol engine is a turbocharged version of the Tigor's engine, the diesel engine is completely new.
This has to be Tata's best diesel engine till date, and it can very well be considered one of the better diesel engines in the compact car space. The engine makes 260Nm of peak torque at 1500-2700rpm and 110PS of maximum power at 3750rpm. On paper, it's the torquiest unit in this class, and the fact that it's not completely dead below the max torque range makes it all the more special. Shorter gearing than the petrol offers you the flexibility to drive it in 3rd gear at speeds of around 30-40kmph without the need to downshift. In our performance tests the diesel managed the 0-100 sprint in 13.25 seconds. It's quite efficient too, returning 23.97kmpl on the highway, but in the city, with the lower gearing, it drops down to 16.8kmpl.
Diesel-AMT
If you are a new driver, or just tired of changing gears in bumper to bumper traffic, you can opt for the AMT. Unlike most AMTs, the transmission doesn't change gears too often. This is made possible because of the superior torque of 260Nm available from 1500rpn onwards. It lets the SUV make overtakes in the city without shifting down, which is a good thing as the shifts aren't particularly quick. The engagement of the first gear is a little jerky which does tend to become a little annoying over time, especially in stop-and-go traffic. But, this goes away in slow moving traffic as the shifts from second onwards are smooth. The gearbox logic does tend to get confused at times when you are going over a gradient, as the transmission can't decide whether to downshift or not, but this too happens in limited cases and won't bother you otherwise. Also, all the three drive modes – Eco, City and Sport are available in the AMT as well. Overall, the AMT is a good option to beat traffic blues, but only if you are absolutely tired of shifting gears, as the premium of Rs 70,200 is a little steep.
The 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine of the Tigor gets a 25PS power burst with the turbocharger on it. It makes 110PS of max power at 5000rpm and 170Nm of peak torque at 1750-4000rpm.
It isn't, however, as exciting or refined as the diesel unit. So, while the diesel engine is responsive even at low rpm, the petrol engine feels quite sluggish, and in case you're driving with a full house, the progress gets much slower. The petrol engine hits the meat of its powerband just around 3000rpm and not 1750rpm, where max torque starts to kick in.
The petrol engine with its taller gearing is not free-revving in nature and relies more on torque to pick up pace. The torque band is wide though, and the Nexon continues to build speed even above 4000rpm. It's surprising that this engine too doesn't feel rough or strained around its 5500rpm redline. Despite having taller gearing the petrol is quicker to the 100kmph sprint and takes just 11.64 seconds to get there. It's more down to the fact that there is one less gear change required to reach the ton in the petrol than in the diesel car. When it comes to sipping fuel the petrol manages a very respectable 17.88kmpl on the highway and 14.02kmpl in the city.
Transmission and Drive Modes
Both the petrol and diesel are currently mated to 6-speed gearboxes, with the diesel car getting slightly shorter ratios. This gives the diesel its excellent drivability but also means that there are more gears to shift through to reach the 100kmph sprint. The reason it is slower is that it isn't the fastest-shifting gearbox. The throws are long and the shifts are not positive. In fact, during spirited driving through some twisty roads and also on our performance tests, third gear was the most difficult to slot into in either car and we all had a number of missed shifts.
The Nexon gets three drives modes – Sport, Eco and City, and all the three vary the character of the engine so much so that you can actually make use of them wisely. While the Sport mode lets loose all reins, City mode smoothes out the torque delivery when the turbo kicks in at around 2000rpm and makes it much nicer to drive in the city. In Eco mode the response is dulled even more and this forces you drive in a very restrained manner. To really put this in perspective we completed the 0-100 sprint in each of the modes in the diesel and the difference between Sport (the fastest timings) and Eco mode (the slowest) was as much as 8 seconds.
Tata Nexon Ride & Handling
The Nexon gets McPherson struts up front and a twist beam setup at the rear. The ride is a nice compromise between hard and soft and because there's not much body roll, it feels plush on the inside. It deals with potholes in the manner of bigger SUVs. So all you feel inside is a toned down thud and a little vertical movement that settles down pretty quick. The diesel Nexon is 68kg heavier than the petrol one, and the added weight results in keeping the cabin slightly more stable when going over a rough patch or at high speeds.
The diesel Nexon pays the price of the added weight when it comes to handling, but not by a big margin. The difference lies in the fact that the diesel Nexon tends to understeer slightly when you get into a turn while the petrol Nexon feels sharper in comparison. Overall, the Nexon feels quite confident on the road, and stability at highway speeds is not a concern either.With discs at the front and drums at the rear, it feels confident when braking hard. But the brakes don't offer instant bite, thus requiring you to vary the braking pressure according to the situation.
Tata Nexon Braking & Safety
Tata Nexon comes packed with a plethora of safety features such as dual front airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Immobilizer and Seatbelt with pretensioners and load limiters as standard. The high-end variants also boast of Park Assist with Camera, Front fog lamps with cornering assistance, rear fog lamps and speed dependent auto door locks features.
Tata Nexon Price in Pune
Tata Nexon On-Road Price in Pune ranges from 6,63,468 to 10,87,546 for variants Nexon Revotron XE and Nexon Revotorq XZ Plus Dual Tone respectively. Tata Nexon is available in 10 variants and 5 colours. Below are details of Tata Nexon variants price in Pune. Check for Nexon price in Pune at Autozhop.
Tata Nexon Final word
The Tata Nexon is a very good effort from the manufacturer. It is sub-4m, has the good looks to boost its sales, space inside the cabin is good too and the engines also deliver decent performance. Knowing Tata's pricing strategy, expect the Nexon petrol to start from Rs 6.5 lakh with the top-spec diesel will be priced just shy of Rs 10 lakh. At this point, it will undercut its biggest rival, the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, by a good Rs 50,000. Plus the Brezza still doesn't come with a petrol engine.
Tata Motors will launch the Nexon in India this September. The company says that they have already started taking bookings and by the time the car actually goes on sale, most of the small issues we mentioned in this review will be ironed out. Back to our question then. Will the Nexon be the next one? It will be for Tata Motors but maybe the Brezza is safe at its position for now.

Lawmakers Grill Obama: Was Lax Security at U.S. Libya Post a Political Ploy?
Written by Alex Newman
As fallout from the deadly September 11 terror strike on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya continues to grab headlines, GOP lawmakers sent a letter to President Obama suggesting the Benghazi tragedy potentially could have been avoided or at least minimized if not for political posturing — an administration policy aimed at concealing the disastrous results of American military intervention there. Now Congress wants answers.
Among a wide range of concerns, the Republican congressmen want to know why security at the compound was so ineffective despite repeated warnings about the extreme and growing threats. The letter also demands to know why the administration decided to pursue a policy of "normalization" in Libya, a dangerous country so recently ravaged by violence and a bloody civil war.
Separately, analysts and former officials are wondering whether anything could have been done to avert the tragedy or at least contain it after the well-coordinated attack began. According to news reports, the U.S. government had a drone in the sky shortly after the terrorist assault on the compound began.
The drone operators actually watched the final hours of the tragedy unfold, multiple media outlets have reported. Some critics also suggested that American security forces in the region could have and should have been deployed to Benghazi immediately in an effort to rescue U.S. personnel under siege.
In an October 19 letter sent to President Obama, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the National Security Subcommittee, essentially accused the administration of denying proper security to the mission in Libya for political reasons. Senior U.S. officials, the letter explained, supplied information demonstrating that the administration repeatedly rejected requests for more security despite increasing levels of violence.
Even worse, they wrote, the administration "systematically decreased existing security to dangerous and ineffective levels." U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who was killed in the attack, had warned about the dire situation over and over again in the days and hours leading up to the attack.
In fact, the letter detailed numerous instances of violence aimed at Westerners and the new regime. The increasingly brazen attacks were even cited by diplomatic personnel, including Ambassador Stevens, as they practically begged the State Department for more security assistance.
Meanwhile, multiple U.S. officials in Libya repeatedly warned Washington, D.C., about the escalating problems. In September, not long before he was killed, Ambassador Stevens reported that Benghazi had entered a state of "maximum alert" as extreme Islamist influence was exploding in the area.
Instead of responding with assistance, however, the administration was withdrawing security assets.
"We have been told repeatedly that the administration did this to effectuate a policy of 'normalization' in Libya after the conclusion of its civil war. These actions not only resulted in extreme vulnerability, but also undermined Ambassador Stevens and the diplomatic mission," Rep. Issa and Rep. Chaffetz said in the letter. "The normalization process, which began in November 2011, appeared to have been aimed at conveying the impression that the situation in Libya was getting better, not worse."
Despite some claims to the contrary, the letter added, the deadly decision to refuse security requests while pursuing the "normalization" policy had nothing to do with budgetary constraints, as even senior State Department officials testified. Instead, it appears to have been a political ploy to keep the rapidly deteriorating situation in Libya, where Obama unlawfully waged war without even consulting Congress, from becoming yet another potential scandal for the administration.
"The American people have a right to know why the administration withdrew security resources over the objections of embassy officials and why their government did not heed the warnings of Ambassador Stevens and his colleagues," the lawmakers said, demanding answers. "Whether based on political concerns or bureaucratic neglect, the actions of this administration contributed to an inadequate and ineffective security posture in Libya as it emerged from civil war."
Americans deserve a "complete explanation" about why the administration decided to pursue the half-baked "normalized presence" in Libya "at what now appears to be at the cost of endangering American lives," according to the letter. "These critical foreign policy decisions are not made by low or mid-level career officials — they are typically made through a well-structured and well-reasoned process that includes the National Security Council at the White House. The ultimate responsibility rests with you as the President of the United States."
The Republicans also expressed concerns about the administration's repeated false claims that the attack was just a protest over a YouTube video that spiraled out of control. Numerous top officials parroted that narrative over and over again, citing the "intelligence community." However, it is now known that the "intelligence community" knew it was a terrorist attack almost from the beginning.
Citing witnesses and photographic evidence, the two Republicans alleged that the U.S. compound in Benghazi did not even meet traditional diplomatic security standards. And if the State Department cannot meet those guidelines for some reason, it must submit a waiver notification to Congress. Apparently none was ever provided, the letter stated.
Benghazi, of course, was the city at the heart of the Western-backed "revolution" that brought about regime change in Libya with overwhelming military support from the Obama administration. Shortly after the collapse of the Gadhafi dictatorship, the al Qaeda flag was flying over the city's court house.
Despite all of that, the diplomatic compound there never received the amount of security personnel that even senior State Department officials said was needed. Even the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli did not have enough security officers, according to officials cited in the letter.
Democrats criticized the GOP lawmakers' efforts to get answers, with the Oversight Committee's top Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, calling it an "undeniably partisan" scheme to make the tragedy a political issue. Ambassador Stevens' father has also urged people not to politicize the issue as Obama tried to deflect mounting criticism over the attack from Republicans.
Meanwhile, analysts and former officials have suggested that even once the attack began, the U.S. government should have taken immediate action to rescue its personnel. Sources cited by CBS News claimed, for example, that a Predator drone was in the sky watching the attack as it happened. For reasons that remain unclear and in dispute, nothing was done.
Security personnel could have been scrambled to the scene as well, according to experts, who pointed out that the deadly assault lasted for hours. U.S. military teams are known to be all over Europe and the Middle East.
"You find a way to make this happen," said retired CIA officer Gary Berntsen, who led the U.S. team that responded after the terror attacks on U.S. diplomats in East Africa. "There isn't a plan for every single engagement. Sometimes you have to be able to make adjustments. They made zero adjustments in this. They stood and they watched and our people died."
Perhaps an even more important question, however, has barely been explored by the establishment press or politicians so far. Aside from the constitutional problems, was arming, training, and financing known terror leaders — more than a few of whom were openly affiliated with al Qaeda — to overthrow a foreign government a wise policy decision?
Based on recent developments and even the broader historical perspective, the answer appears to be that the lawless war was a terrible move for more than a few reasons. Recent reports have suggested, for example, that a known extremist who was held in Guantanamo Bay before helping lead Western-backed forces against Tripoli may have even been behind the attack on the U.S. mission.
Then there is the question of blowback: the consequences of the American government's foreign intervention that so often come back to haunt the United States and even the world. Former CIA chief Michael Hayden has even suggested the attack in Libya was the result of U.S. intervention there.
A year after being "liberated," meanwhile, Libya remains in chaos as various factions, including Gadhafi loyalists, continue to wage war against each other. The embattled central government in Tripoli, despite firm backing from the United Nations, NATO, and Obama, is widely perceived as illegitimate. Weapons from the war are now all over the region. And the problems are likely to keep getting worse.

2017 Kia Sorento vs. 2017 Ford Edge: Compare Cars
People's Vote
votesCast Your Vote!
John Voelcker
Two very popular crossover SUVs on the road today have roots as more rugged off-road machines. Today they're among the most popular vehicles in the family-utility niche—but which one's better for you?
The 2017 Kia Sorento and the 2017 Ford Edge are both five-seat, mid-size crossover SUVs. The Sorento has an optional third row with two more seats; if you're in a Ford showroom, the company offers the larger Explorer to fill that role.
Each is relatively new, with the Edge redesigned last year and the Sorento new for 2016—although its styling was updated so conservatively that you might have to look twice to tell for sure. The pair competes with the Chevrolet Traverse, Honda Pilot, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Nissan Pathfinder, and Toyota Highlander, among others.
By our ratings, the Sorento narrowly beats out the Edge, with a score of 7.2 to the Ford's 7.0. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
MORE: Read our latest reviews of the 2017 Kia Sorento and 2017 Ford Edge
From the outside, the redesigned Sorento is so evolutionary that it's easy to let your mind fill in the lines, if you knew the previous model. The Sorento's proportions look familiar, with a more prominent version of the Kia grille, some cleaned-up and more mature, upscale details in front and in back, and more softly rounded lines for most of what's in between.
The update is far more obvious inside. The 2016 Sorento's cabin has been dramatically tidied-up and made more sophisticated, with soft-touch trims all around—wherever front occupants might happen to touch—and climate and navigation/audio controls that are cordoned off into neat, intuitive control pods.
Ford calls the latest Edge more athletic, and for both styling and performance, it's no exaggeration. The SUV silhouette has been upgraded, pushing the design closer to a premium look without cutting into its appeal. The Edge has some great surfacing and details that wouldn't be out of place in a BMW; the blacked-out details of the Edge Sport underscore the new athleticism, with sport-wagon undertones.
Inside, the Edge now has some of the best trims and materials in its class, and a dash shape that builds on familiar Ford models like the Focus and Escape.
The Kia Sorento carries over two engines from the previous model. The 185-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder base powertrain, and a 290-hp 3.3-liter V-6 at the top of the line. But for 2016, Kia added a new turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 that makes 240 hp. All three are paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission and can be ordered with front- or all-wheel drive. We preferred the 2.0T model for its perky feel in most types of driving, even if its off-the-line acceleration wasn't the fastest of the three.
From the driver's seat, the latest Sorento responds and performs much better than its predecessor. The steering tracks better on center, the suspension provides a firm, composed ride, and the stiffer body structure gives a heftier, more confident feel and a vault-like German ride. Fuel economy is about par for the class, with the highest at 24 mpg combined for the 2.4-liter with front-wheel drive, down to 19 mpg for a fully loaded AWD with the V-6.
The Ford Edge offers plenty of powertrain combinations to fit both tech-savvy and traditionalist buyers. The base engine is a 245-hp 2.0-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder, paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission that's the only choice regardless of engine. This base engine has great responsiveness, can be fitted with all-wheel drive, can tow 3,500 pounds, and should be perfectly adequate for most needs. A 280-hp 3.5-liter V-6 is optional for buyers who must have a V-6. But it's the Edge Sport, with a direct-injected and twin-turbocharged 315-hp 2.7-liter V-6, that's the most intriguing. Its understated performance is strong and confident.

On the road, the Edge isn't edgy, but precise and responsive. The steering has a precise, reassuring feel, tracking well in a straight line and taking corners without fuss. The Sport model gets its own damper and spring rates, and standard 21-inch wheels, with 20s as an option. Active noise cancellation actually leaves the Edge Sport the quietest model. Fuel economy ratings are good, but not class-leading, ranging from a high of 24 mpg combined for the base front-wheel-drive model to 20 mpg combined for the Edge Sport with AWD.
The Sorento's driver's seat now has extendable thigh bolsters—definitely of use to taller drivers. Second-row space is essentially the same for two- and three-row versions, although two-row models include an underseat storage system. Adults will find the third row too short and hard to be comfortable over a long day—although it's just fine for a quick dinner outing with those under 5-feet-10.
With slightly less cargo storage, the Edge is a vehicle designed more for people than gear. The front seats are high, but afford enough head room and offer a good view out over the hood. Even with those front seats all the way back, there's enough rear leg and knee room for long-legged adults. Still, the seats are too short and flat—both in front and in back.
Both the 2017 Sorento and the 2016 Edge earn five stars overall from the NHTSA, with five stars on every test except for rollover, which has been rated at four stars. The IIHS rates the Sorento "Good" on every test, and awards it a Top Safety Pick+ designation. The Ford, however, doesn't do quite as well with the IIHS, achieving only an "Acceptable" score on the small-frontal overlap crash test (and "good" in all other ratings).
In back-to-back drives, we found the Edge more rewarding to drive, and more pleasing to our eyes. But the Sorento has more interior space, better safety scores, and offers that third row, which the Edge doesn't.

The 2016 Ford Edge has everything you might want in a tech-focused, stylish crossover—as long as you don't require third-row seating or a luxury badge.
The 2017 Kia Sorento stays true to its high-value roots, but it's grown up in refinement and comfort.
The 2016 Ford Edge carries its edge from the inside, in its combination of nicely coordinated soft-touch materials and fine details.
The 2017 Sorento embraces the sporty yet softer new look of Kia—especially inside.
No matter which engine you choose for the 2016 Edge, you'll get precise steering and great handling on par with premium-brand German crossovers.
The entire driving experience is now better coordinated, with excellent turbo-4 models, a stiffer structure, and more responsive steering.
Comfort & Quality
The cabin is quiet and refined, with lots of versatility, yet seating comfort could use more attention.
Ride and refinement is now excellent in the Sorento.
The 2016 Ford Edge offers a lot of active-safety wizardry, and some reassuring crash-test results.
Parents should be at ease knowing that the Sorento gets high ratings for safety and has a robust set of active safety tools.
The arrival of improved Sync 3 infotainment should add appeal—but Edge models with the top features come at a significant price premium.
With a wide range of trim levels, there's everything to satisfy cost-conscious families or those who want to pile the features on.
Ford's EcoBoost engine technology is easier to get in this new-generation Edge; although don't think that means much higher mileage.
There's still no hybrid model here, although with last year's redesign mpg numbers got a modest boost.

How data analysis in sports is changing the game
By James Petter
Technology is revolutionizing sports across the board, from tennis to motor racing, to cycling

James Petter is the VP International of Pure Storage.
Who can forget when the unpredictable happened and Leicester City won the Premier League in 2016? Thanks are due, in part, to data and analytics (opens in new tab). When it comes to data-driven insights in football, the club is one of the most advanced in the Premier League. This year, in an attempt to ramp up their analytics approach ahead of the upcoming season, Leicester City appointed its first Head of Football analytics.
We are witnessing data becoming entrenched in sports, for the same reason it is becoming embedded into the enterprise (opens in new tab) – to stay at the forefront of innovation. Collecting and analysing data onsite during an event allows for tactics to be decided in real time, but also offers the opportunity for data to be used for long term research and development of sports equipment and machinery such as F1 cars or bicycles.
It's not only football (opens in new tab)that is being transformed by data's mounting capabilities; technology is revolutionising sports across the board, from tennis to motor racing, to cycling.

Game, tech and match: the technology behind Wimbledon
Whilst Wimbledon (opens in new tab) remains steeped in British history, tennis was actually one of the first sports to embrace innovation, dating back to 2006 with the first use of 'Hawk-Eye' to challenge line calls. More recently, the tournament is providing an elevated stage to exhibit innovations beyond the baseline. Powered by sophisticated cloud computing, the tournament now has a multitude of data-driven insights and AI services for organisers, fans and even players to use, to drive efficiency as well as fan engagement.
This year, technology at the tournament has ramped up, thanks to an AI-powered service (opens in new tab) that uses cameras and sensors to track all factors of play and create a tight and effective highlights package. Each bit of action, from player grunts, crowd cheers, to the sound of the racket is monitored and ranked via its statistical importance within the match. This allows analyzers to understand exactly when play is happening, and to clip the best moments almost instantly, to make them available for the world to enjoy.

Putting data in the saddle
While data analytics can be the difference between 1st and 2nd place, it has been equally pivotal in revolutionizing the sports fan experience of viewing the games. During the course of last year's Tour de France, over 150 million data points were collected and transformed into compelling stories of innovation for fans to engage with across mobile, social, digital and broadcast (opens in new tab).
The complicated challenge of improving the viewer experience is achieved by each bicycle being fitted with a simple device that captures a GPS (opens in new tab) positioning point every second. In the same vein, this location data is tapped into for the cyclists' own performance evaluation and decision making optimization. Data is utilized to calculate real-time insight into the cyclist's progress, such as rider speed and relative distance. Comparing this with third party data allows for deeper analysis to reflect on gradient and elevation gain, weather impact and even visually enhanced 3D mapping.

Data: Motorsport's Secret Weapon
Motorsports has currently reached an unprecedented level of technical sophistication due to engineering proficiencies, thanks in part to data. Almost every race car is now equipped with a device that enables engineers, technicians and drivers to measure, understand and evaluate car driver behavior and interaction. In turn, allowing them to accurately adjust strategies to optimize overall performance.
For example, the Mercedes AMG-Petronas Formula One Team has become one of the most successful teams in F1 history, but finding new means to efficiently collect, manage and share ever-increasing amounts of data used to improve racecar design and performance can be a challenge.
Mercedes required an infrastructure that is portable, and that accommodates for the multi-disciplinary design and engineering requirements. Pure Storage eliminates the need for bulky equipment, while also improving performance - allowing the team to put performance-critical workloads trackside.
Team members both trackside and at the factory now have instant access to critical data used to continually improve race car performance, ensuring that the race cars are functioning optimally at every second on and off the race course.

Data analytics for a winning formula
For too long, data has been treated as a liability and not an asset, often due to challenges to collecting, storing and managing massive volumes of it. Yet the ever-improving capabilities of big data platforms are creating undeniable opportunities for industries across the board – from medicine, construction, retail, to banking. Data (opens in new tab) is becoming recognized as one of the most important assets for innovation today, especially in sports, where benefits are reaped by both sportsmen and viewers alike.
What distinguishes the winners from losers when it comes to data-driven sports, is that they have developed the ability to manage data as an asset. To achieve this, organisations need to have a modern IT infrastructure (opens in new tab) in place to collect, manage and store the data in real-time (and more importantly to achieve that much desired gold medal or trophy).

Social media platforms need to commit to a consistent refusal to help heads of state incite violence
What happens the next time a world leader incites violence on these platforms? Facebook might leave their speech up, since it has left itself room to do so. Twitter might take it down, but it is not clear what counts as enough incitement for an elected official's account to be suspended.
Written by Chinmayi Arun | Updated: January 15, 2021 8:53:32 am
US President Donald Trump was blocked by Twitter and Facebook after the Capitol Hill siege. (File Photo)
On January 6, the world watched in shock as extremists stormed the United States Capitol to interrupt the Congress's joint session which was formalising Joe Biden's electoral victory. Shortly before the attack, at the "Save America March", Donald Trump exhorted a crowd of his supporters to walk down to the Capitol to give "weak Republicans" the "boldness" to "take back" America. The video was shared on social media. Trump's social media accounts were active and communicating as his supporters ransacked the Capitol, stopping to pose for photographs in the Speaker's office and take selfies with policemen.
The social media companies reacted, first blocking particular communications including videos of the speech, and then suspending Trump's accounts. Trump has been barred from using Facebook and Twitter. The platform's decisions have been criticised. Broadly, critics argue that social media companies should not "censor" a president or make what conservatives see as politically biased decisions about speech. The latter claim wrongly assumes that all ideologically conservative speech is the same as harmful speech. Trump could have stopped at expressing dissatisfaction about the electoral outcome. However, he chose to insist that the election was "stolen", calling for action. This took his speech beyond the realm of political opinion into the realm of incitement.
The fact that Trump is a head of state does mean that his incitement of violence needs to be treated differently. Social media would have enabled and amplified the incitement to violence through their platforms if they did not act to restrict the circulation of Trump's speech, given the connection between his words and the violence. If anything, they should have been vigilant and acted earlier. Social media companies have policies that are not sufficiently firm or clear on this question.
Opinion |As President, Joe Biden must reach out to divided US. He can establish new conventions
Although social media companies are private companies, they have a disproportionate impact on populations around the world. This is why experts including the former UN Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression, David Kaye, have argued that the platforms ought to follow international human rights law, especially the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Social media companies accept that they must take steps to ensure that they do not facilitate tragically extreme harm such as the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar. However, they also act as public fora for the important and difficult conversations that make a democracy. If they refused to host conversations about the COVID-19 virus, vaccines, abortion, Kashmir, LGBTQ rights or marital rape, the public debate that drives democracy would suffer. We usually use constitutional courts for this delicate balancing of freedom of expression with reasonable restrictions, and the companies are now building alternative systems like the Facebook Oversight Board.
The effect of a social media platform in facilitating the freedom of expression can vary depending on the speaker. A citizen journalist or whistleblower in a country without a functional, free press may have no other way to reach wide audiences if deprived of social media. In contrast, a head of state like Trump who is barred from social media has access to the mass media. His freedom of expression is not affected in the same way in which a protesting farmer or a whistleblower's might be, if they are de-platformed.
Similarly, the effects of communication can also vary depending on the speaker and the audiences. With the same content, an influential speaker is much more likely to actually incite violence. Therefore, incitement by a head of state is more dangerous than incitement by a powerless, ordinary individual. This is significant given that social media platforms are clear that they will act to remove incitement to violence from their platforms, especially where there is a real danger that violence will ensue. A powerful leader can persuade his followers that it is acceptable and even righteous to engage in violence. If this leader controls the law and order machinery, this creates a sense of impunity in those wreaking the violence. When Trump gave his speech, these factors had aligned.

Inside Track: PMO for Patch-Up
Pandemic: Of split hairs and close shaves
Trump has arguably been inciting violence on social media platforms for a long time. In mid-2020, Facebook employees staged a virtual walkout in distress over the company refusing to regulate the US President's inflammatory posts. In the past, Twitter suspended another account posting copies of Trump's tweets for glorifying violence, while leaving the president's tweets up. This was presumably because of Twitter's exception for public or elected officials' speech which is seen as being in "public interest". Facebook also has a "newsworthiness" exception. These exceptions pose a continuing problem for other countries that are still led by individuals who incite violence.
Once Trump was clearly on his way out, and his allies no longer controlled the Senate, the platforms stepped up to block his dangerous speech. Twitter's reasoning was that Trump incited violence to the extent that the public interest exception was no longer a good reason to leave his speech up. Facebook's reasoning was more ambiguous: Although it mentioned incitement to violence, it seemed to argue that the newsworthiness protection did not apply because of the exceptional circumstance of the insurrection and the post-electoral transfer of power.
The question to ask is: What happens the next time a world leader incites violence on these platforms? Facebook might leave their speech up, since it has left itself room to do so. Twitter might take it down, but it is not clear what counts as enough incitement for an elected official's account to be suspended. The platforms should not be circulating speech that is very likely to cause violence — they need clear policies in which they commit to a consistent refusal to help heads of state incite violence.

US election 2020: Joe Biden's foreign policy explained
How will Joe Biden normalise relations with US allies around the globe? The FT's US foreign policy correspondent, Katrina Manson, asks whether Joe Biden can deliver on his claim that 'America is back'
Produced by Ben Marino
I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but unify, who doesn't see red states and blue states, only sees the United States.
Hello, and welcome to our foreign policy and defence vlog, broadcasting from an America whose new president-elect claims America is back. That's even as Donald Trump refuses to concede defeat, and initiates a shake-up at the top levels of the Pentagon. But Joe Biden is ploughing ahead.
He's spoken to foreign leaders. They've congratulated him on his victory. And that is a key part of Biden's approach to foreign policy, alliances. He'll be the most transatlantic president, in perhaps a generation. And what he wants to do is make sure America is, according to his victory speech, a beacon for the world.
Tonight, the whole world is watching America. And I believe at our best America is a beacon for the globe. We will lead not only by the example of our power, but by the power of our example.
What's interesting is that expectations are both very high, and very low, when it comes to Biden's foreign policy. Very high, because Biden says he wants to unfurl the last four years of the Trump administration. We can expect over the next 18 months photographs, smiles, hand-holding, a sense that American alliances - particularly with Europe - are back at the heart of America's approach to the world.
Biden has said he wants to be a leader in the world. He is going to be less prone to military intervention. He has voted against interventions in the past, even under his boss, Barack Obama. He was against the surge in Afghanistan. He was against intervention in Libya. So we don't expect to see such an emphasis on America's military role in the world. But at the same time, Biden is making huge claims for the proselytising mission of America in the world.
Expectations are low overall, however. Because Biden and any aide you care to speak to is very clear that his focus will be at home - the pandemic, economic recovery, systemic racism, the deep political polarisation that clearly exists throughout America. And that won't leave very much time, focus, energy, or quite frankly, inclination for foreign policy.
So Biden has a lot ahead to reclaim the mantle of American leadership of the world, while also being very focused on trying to set things at home right. And as we all know, foreign policy has a habit of getting in the way of the best laid plans.

Muslim Woman: The Translatability of a Patriarchal Order
Title page of the book version of Akif's translation of Muslim Woman (held at the library of Orient-Institut Istanbul).
Authors: A. Ebru Akcasu and Maha Abdelmegeed
The research carried out over the course of June 2018 – January 2019, conducted with one of us being based at the Orient-Institut Istanbul, and the other at the American University in Beirut, contributed to an article we have been working on for the past few years. Forthcoming in a 2021 volume on translations in circulation in the nineteenth-century eastern Mediterranean and Arabian Sea (eds. Marilyn Booth and Claire Savina), our work examines the translation from Arabic into Ottoman Turkish of Al-Mar'ah al-Muslima (Muslim Woman): a 1901 response to Qasim Amin's 'Emancipation of Women' that was written by the Cairo-based Muhammed Farid Wajdi (1878-1954). Wajdi's work was translated into several languages and disseminated across a wide geography, from the Balkans to the Indian subcontinent, and beyond—in fact, Muslim Woman is still in print and remains in circulation.
Our article looks at Wajdi's original text alongside its Ottoman Turkish translation by Istanbul-based poet and author of the Turkish Republic's national anthem, Mehmed Akif (1873-1936). Akif's translation, Müslüman Kadını, was serialized in the pages of the Sırat-ı Müstakim (Straight Path, 1908-1925) in the immediate aftermath of the 1908 Ottoman Constitutional Revolution before being compiled in book form for further dissemination. Our work compares and highlights the socio-political and linguistic features of Muslim Woman in the Arabic and Ottoman Turkish versions. We look, for example, at the values embedded in words like "hijab" and the deeper significance of Akif's subtle interjections as translator. By this means, we establish ways in which Muslim Woman addresses an ongoing struggle over conceptualizing the social by relying on reader associations (and anxieties) "the woman question" had already established in this domain.

Turkey: Adventures in History and Culture
Penelope, The Getaway
For centuries, Turkey has been a jewel of Asia Minor and the Middle East. Three empires, spanning over a thousand years, have made Istanbul their capital. History and culture suffuse every step travelers take along ancient roads, everything from the glorious architecture of the Hagia Sophia to a humble street vendor selling the finest examples of Turkish cuisine. Come to a place where East meets West, and discover what so many people treasure about Turkey.
01Explore Historical Architecture

Turkey, and especially Istanbul, is replete with beautiful buildings. The Hagia Sophia, with its mix of architectural styles and religious art, symbolizes the various cultures which have washed over Turkey. Nearby Topkapı Palace was the home of Ottoman sultans for centuries - and their harems! Other palaces, churches, mosques, and monuments dot the country, many of which open their arms to visitors.
02Watch the Whirling Dervishes

Sufi mystics, called dervishes, once used their spinning style of dance to whirl themselves into ecstatic trances. Though this has fallen out of favor as a religious practice, dancers today work to preserve this unique form of expression. In their distinct hats and flared robes, they're truly a sight to behold! Though most perform in Istanbul, you can find exhibitions in cities across Turkey.
03Get the Royal Treatment at a Hamam

To promote public health, the Ottomans developed the Hamam style bath-house. Many of these are still in use today, from the ultra-luxe Haseki Hürrem Sultan Hamamı, commissioned by a sultan's wife, to smaller day spas sprinkled across Turkey. These places feature bathing pools, saunas, and areas to receive spa treatments. Visitors are treated to massages, body masks, aromatherapy, and the sultan's favorite drink, sweet sharbat. Indulge like the imperial family of old!
04Befriend the Cats of Istanbul

Cats? Yes, cats! Whatever you do, don't call them strays. While these cats may not have any specific owner, the whole city pitches in to help care for these wandering felines. You might encounter cats sleeping on a subway staircase, begging for handouts in the market, or making friends with you at a coffee shop. The cats are generally amiable, and enjoy meeting new people. Take a few selfies with your new friend, and enjoy this unique element of life in Istanbul.
05Experience Living History at Soğukçeşme Sokağı

The Street of Cold Water - so named for a fountain at the end of the drive - is a small area in the Sultanahmet neighborhood of Istanbul, where several homes have been restored to how they appeared during the height of Ottoman power. Some now operate as hostels, welcoming guests with furniture reminiscent of what would have been in common use a century ago. Cars are prohibited, but visitors are welcome to walk down the cobbled street and take pictures of the incredibly Instagrammable architecture and gardens.
06Spend the Night at Cappadocia's Cave Hotel

High up in Anatolia, people carved entire mountains into cities connected by stone. Once home to persecuted Christians, then a thriving monastic community, the rock houses of Cappadocia are still in use today! The Gamirasu Cave Hotel has upgraded some of these ancient rooms for modern comfort. The most luxurious of rooms even have their own private sauna and minibar. The historic Ayvalı village is just a short walk away, where hot air balloons wait to float you across the landscape.
07Go Shopping at the Kapaliçarsi Grand Bazaar

Istanbul has been a center of trade for millennia, and nothing demonstrates this so well as the Grand Bazaar. Over sixty streets wind past four thousand shops. You can find anything and everything here: wearable art, clothing, books, spices, tea, carpets, and more. And don't forget about the antiques! The Grand Bazaar has a collection of antiques extensive enough to rival any museum. If you get tired, relax at one of the Bazaar's many cafes, or get some water from one of four ornate marble fountains. When visiting, remember that haggling isn't just accepted, it's expected.
08Kirkpinar Oil Wrestling Tournament
Legend has it that Turkey's wrestling tradition began when two soldiers fought to win a pair of leather pants from the sultan. So determined was each man to win that neither surrendered, ready to die rather than admit defeat. To honor their commitment to victory at any cost, Turkey has held annual wrestling championships for over six hundred years. Competitors wrestle in black leather pants, coated in olive oil to repel bugs. If you can't make the annual grand tournament, wrestlers, called "pehlivans, stage matches across Turkey all year round.
09Visit Mother Mary's House
Nestled on the eastern slope of Nightingale Mountain is an ancient chapel and home. Once in ruins, this place has since been restored and is now a place of peace and tranquility. Pilgrims who make the journey believe Saint Mary lived here at the end of her life. Certainly, some parts of the structure date to the first century. Photography isn't allowed within the chapel, but visitors can light a prayer candle or attach a wish to the wishing wall. Three springs rumored to have healing properties are on the grounds, and visitors are encouraged to drink.
10Hike Olympos National Park

Probably not the real Mount Olympus, this park did inspire legends of the dread chimera. Natural vents along the beach routinely belch methane gas, which sometimes catches fire and provide a stunning show. Roman ruins dot the landscape, but with no trails or signs, you're on your own to find them. Intrepid explorers are rewarded with the sight of ancient stone walls covered in fresh greenery. The beaches stretch on for miles and are perfect for those who enjoy coastal runs.
11Enjoy Traditional Shisha

The nargile water-pipe, or hookah, is a popular way to relax in Turkey. Nargile shops provide customers with a variety of delicately flavored tobacco, and several people can share one pipe. The furniture tends to the soft and welcoming, encouraging visitors to stay for several hours. Many shisha establishments also serve traditional Turkish coffee, tea, and small meze, or snacks.
12Attend One Love in Istanbul
BarbarosKARAGULMEZ / Getty Images
This open-air music festival is fast becoming a city favorite. Spread across five stages throughout the city, the event attracts rock stars from across the globe. If you miss One Love, don't worry - the festival marks the opening of the summer music season. The city hosts jazz, classical, rock, and traditional music festivals up through the autumn.
13Creep Yourself Out at the Necropolis of Myra
Servet TURAN / Getty Images
Not for the easily frightened! Tombs have been carved directly into the cliffside, and lovingly decorated with colorful frescoes. When you're done exploring the necropolis, visit other ruins such as a breathtaking open-air theater or temple to Cybele. If you're in the mood for something slightly more modern, pay your respects at the Church of Saint Nicholas.
14Discover Small Towns
Go off the beaten path and wander into Turkey's various small towns. While Istanbul is awash with history, it's also full of people. Get the same experience while visiting Ankara, complete with its ruined castles and sarcophagi, the ruins of fabled Troy, or İznik, which once hosted the Council of Nicaea.

Georg Simmel's tantalising suggestion that that in each age there exists a 'regal notion', a secret 'conceptual king', opens up an important issue in contemporary social epistemology: the question of how we should conceive of 'the metaphysics of the social'. It suggests that within every weltanschauung there exists an adhesive field, a force of conceptual gravitation, capable of binding the fragments of historical being together into the wider significance of a world. In this scheme, it is this force, this 'idea-influence', that is 'the secret king'. However, it is important to speculate as to this king's name, constitution and powers. What seems clear in this regard is that in its regal status, contra Foucault, this centripetal notion cannot be reduced to the dimension of governmental discipline and control, as it exists in a quite different relationship to power, at least as power has been conceived in the social sciences. In this paper, I will suggest that the key to understanding the dynamics of the contemporary era in particular resides in understanding the tension between the king – understood as what intellectually reigns - and that which merely governs.

That's right - as soon as a piece of the project is given to you, you're the expert on that piece. Never mind if you've never studied that industry or heard of the company or thought about the products at all - someone's gotta be the go-to person, and that someone is you.
In a lot of ways this is really, really awesome. It means you're learning something new every single day (because you're getting quizzed on something new every single day), and you leave each project with some fairly in-depth knowledge about whatever it is you've been doing.
The not-so-awesome part is that...you're not actually an expert. And you can't be - spending hundreds of hours reading industry reports will never compare to the wealth of knowledge the people working in that industry have. This is an important concept to grasp early: becoming the "consulting expert" doesn't mean becoming an actual expert. Going down that road will lead to certain failure. Consulting isn't about learning everything there is to know about every company or industry you work for; it is about quickly understanding the KEY aspects of the business that will allow you to make informed recommendations to the client.
It's the same reason a software company can build a mobile app for your firm without needing to spend hundreds of hours working alongside you - they don't need to know every single one of your customer's desires or every single intricacy of your business; they just need to know what matters most to your customers, and how your business wants to serve those needs.
The good news is, after banging my head against the wall for the first couple of weeks, I started to realize that I can be a consulting expert. It takes a lot of work, but it's work I can do. The even better news? It's work I like doing.

Car hire Romford
Car hire in Romford
Romford is a town situated in East London, very close to the border with Essex. Just a few miles from both the M11 and M25 motorways, Romford is extremely well-connected in terms of transport, with easy routes into the city of London, while London City Airport (LCY) is only around half-an-hour away by car.
Romford car rental is available from multiple outlets in the local area. Holiday Autos can compare car hire options for you, scanning through deals from more than 1,500 suppliers to find the most suitable vehicle and package for your requirements. You'll be in safe hands with our team, and we even have a 24/7 customer helpline should you require extra assistance.
In Romford, car hire outlets can be found in several locations, with a few dealers located just off the nearby North Circular Road and many others situated in the town centre itself. Thanks to its close proximity to major London roads, it's relatively straightforward to travel straight to the city after picking up your vehicle.
Best Car Hire Companies Romford
Car Hire Reviews Romford
Romford is a great starting point for anyone wanting to drive across the whole of London due to its position on the outskirts of East London. It's also a perfect base for those wanting to explore the county of Essex, home to the historic city of Colchester as well as some lovely seaside resorts, such as Southend and Clacton-on-Sea.
Nearby Romford
Central London is around a 50-minute drive from Romford, but the journey may be quicker if you leave your car at an Underground station and complete the journey by Tube. Around 55 minutes from Romford is the Essex seaside resort of Southend-on-Sea, which provides a welcome break from the bustle of the capital and is home to the world's longest leisure pier.
Brighton with its iconic Royal Pavilion and Victorian pier is around an hour and 35 minutes' drive from Romford, while the white cliffs of Dover can be reached in roughly the same amount of time if you're driving in the opposite direction. From the cliffs, you'll be able to enjoy breathtaking views across the English Channel.
Pie and mash, and jellied eels, are signature dishes of East London. These meals are cheap to make but filling, meaning they were ideal for the large, poor families who historically lived in the area. In recent years, East London's large Bangladeshi community has opened many traditional curry houses along Brick Lane, showcasing a different side to its culture.
Romford Greyhound Stadium is one of London's few surviving dog tracks and the only one remaining in East London, while the town's Havering Museum, which opened in 2010, hosts several exhibitions pertaining to the history of the town of Romford and its people through the ages.
It's worth driving the 50 minutes or so from Romford to see the very best views that London has to offer. A ride on the Coca-Cola London Eye provides amazing views across the capital, while The View from the Shard - the UK's tallest building, at 1,016 ft tall - offers even better panoramic views of the city and its surroundings.

Peter Capaldi surprises young fans at Doctor Who Experience in yet another heart-warming video
Appearing in character as the Doctor, Capaldi retains the title of greatest man alive
Monday, 30th March 2015 at 1:00 pm
Peter Capaldi may play a grumpy version of the Doctor, but off screen he is incredibly generous with the role. For instance: this video of Capaldi answering children's questions in character as the Time Lord.
Filmed at the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff for Nu-Who's 10th birthday, it's impossible to watch without smiling. We have to maintain some journalistic credibility, but it definitely confirms he is the greatest guy to ever live bar none.
Thrill as he takes on The Foretold! Weep as he describes the pain of leaving his granddaughter Susan! Stare intently at his face and try to make out his resemblance to David Tennant!
Capaldi's in-depth Who knowledge really shines through here, letting him improvise answers without breaking character. Like a skinny Santa, he has a way with the younger fans, including helping them adapt to the departure of Matt Smith or comforting them in the wake of a loved one's death.
We love Peter Capaldi.
