The all-new 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid and real-life “Safety for Everyone” customer stories are set to highlight a new Honda exhibit at 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. The new Honda CR-V Hybrid makes public debut, joined by refreshed gas-engine 2020 CR-V; Honda vehicle crash survivor Kyle Shaules shares his real-life “Safety for Everyone” experience; an all-new exhibit debuts at L.A. Auto Show with interactive features, augmented reality displays, live gaming and 60th anniversary product displays.

TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Honda’s electrification initiative and “Safety for Everyone” campaign are in the spotlight as the company debuts an all-new auto show exhibit at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show on Nov. 20. The all-new 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid, launching in Spring 2020, is the latest in Honda’s line of electrified vehicles, and the first hybrid-electric SUV from Honda in the U.S. Honda’s new display will also feature a “Safety Zone” with a crash-tested 10th-generation Civic Coupe, one of 10 Honda models earning a 5-star Overall Vehicle Score crash safety rating from NHTSA. Additionally, Honda Civic customer Kyle Shaules, of Victorville, Calif., will share his real-life experience with media on Nov. 20. Shaules is one of three Honda customers whose own life-affirming stories are featured in the company’s just-launched Safety for Everyone social media campaign.

The all-new 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid and real-life “Safety for Everyone” customer stories are set to highlight a new Honda exhibit at 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. The new Honda CR-V Hybrid makes public debut, joined by refreshed gas-engine 2020 CR-V; Honda vehicle crash survivor Kyle Shaules shares his real-life “Safety for Everyone” experience; an all-new exhibit debuts at L.A. Auto Show with interactive features, augmented reality displays, live gaming and 60th anniversary product displays.

Honda CR-V Hybrid Public Debut
The 2020 CR-V Hybrid launches next spring as Honda’s first electrified SUV in America. Using Honda’s innovative two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain technology, the 2020 CR-V Hybrid brings quicker off-the-line performance and is anticipated to achieve a 50 percent higher city fuel economy rating than the non-hybrid CR-V. The 2020 CR-V Hybrid will be built in Honda’s Greensburg, Indiana plant, and joins the Accord Hybrid and Insight as the third electrified Honda manufactured in America1.

In addition to the new hybrid-electric variant, the entire 2020 CR-V lineup includes major upgrades: a freshened exterior design, new cabin appointments, and a standard 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and standard Honda Sensing® safety and driver-assistive technology, both previously standard only on EX and above trims.

Safety for Everyone
Sharing his incredible story of survival with media attending the L.A. Auto Show will be Southern California native Kyle Shaules, one of the Honda customers featured in the company’s Safety for Everyone social media campaign. Shaules’ 2016 Honda Civic LX slammed into the side of a mountain on a stormy night, and even though first responders thought he couldn’t have survived, Shaules walked away with only a broken finger.

“I remember seeing the mountain coming upon me, and then stars,” Shaules said. “But the fact that I walked away from it relatively unharmed was undoubtedly because of my Honda.”

Safety for Everyone represents Honda’s unique approach to vehicle safety and its vision for a collision-free mobile society where its customers and everyone sharing the road – pedestrians, motorcycle riders, cyclists and occupants of other vehicles – can safely and confidently enjoy the freedom of mobility.

The safety-focused social media campaign builds on the Safety for Everyone brand marketing campaign that began in September 2019 and focuses on how one collision can affect many. The social media campaign features the stories of real Honda customers who walked away from significant collisions thanks in part to the thoughtful design of Honda vehicles. The stories add another layer of depth by including the point of view and emotional reactions of their loved ones. These inspiring, real-life stories have been sourced from customers’ social media posts and letters Honda has received from thankful customers.

With nearly 40,000 lives being lost each year in the United States due to motor vehicle crashes, Honda is committed to developing and deploying advanced passive and active safety systems that can help better protect occupants in a wider variety of collision scenarios, such as the recently announced new front passenger airbag technology designed by Honda engineers.

New Honda Auto Show Exhibit
An all-new Honda auto show exhibit for the U.S. makes its debut at the L.A. Auto Show, serving not only as a showplace for Honda’s latest car and truck lineup at major auto shows, but also to showcase Honda’s ongoing dedication to creating products and technologies that make people’s lives better. Designed for greater appeal to in-market shoppers, the new display seeks to impart a hands-on experience for show goers interested in learning about the stories behind the brand, using a variety of fun and educational elements that invite visitors to interact with the world of Honda.

The new center stage, where the 2020 CR-V Hybrid will be on display, fronts a two-story central structure with a rooftop lounge flanked by two storytelling pavilions. Major new components of the more tech-savvy and interactive pavilions will include:

  • HondaLens Live – an augmented reality showcase of the 2020 CR-V Hybrid
  • Honda Safety Zone – featuring a crash-tested 2019 Civic Coupe, real-world customer storytelling and a Seatbelt Selfie Wall
  • Honda x Gaming Zone – with live appearances by premier global esports organization, Team Liquid, and an interactive retro-style Honda Circuit racing game:
    • Monday 11/25 2;00 p.m.- 4:00 p.m.: Head2Head/Twitch Live Stream featuring live play, hosted by Andy Bravo, eSports Commentator/Analyst
    • Sunday 12/1 11:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.-12:30 p.m.: Live appearance of Doublelift, seven-time League of Legends LCS Champion, with Steve Arhancet, Co-Owner/Co-CEO of Team Liquid
  • Honda Winning Moment – an augmented reality photo booth where show goers can place themselves in the scenes of historical sports moments, including in IndyCar, National Hockey League and League of Legends championships

The Civic Coupe on display was safety crash tested at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. in Ohio using the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s passenger-side small overlap front crash test mode. The 10th-generation Civic has earned a top score of “Good” in this very stringent crashworthiness test, which is designed to replicate what happens when the front left corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object like a tree or utility pole at 40 mph.

In addition to top crashworthiness scores, the Civic and all Honda nameplates come standard or available with the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies. Honda Sensing® includes Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) incorporating Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) incorporating Lane Departure Warning (LDW).

In addition, Honda is celebrating its 60th anniversary in America, marked by the start of operations in a small store on Pico Boulevard in downtown Los Angeles in June 1959. This special display will showcase a vintage Honda car and a replica of an original pickup truck once used by Honda sales representatives to deliver Honda motorcycles to the first Honda dealers in California.

The 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show is open to the public November 22 through December 1 at the L.A. Convention Center.

MEXICÁNICOS LANDS IN CALIFORNIA TO CELEBRATE ITS 50TH EPISODE WITH ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR MEXICAN BANDS

MIAMI, Nov. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — MEXICÁNICOS lands in Los Angeles to celebrate its 50th episode with a very special project! One of Discovery en Español’s most successful original productions premieres new episodes on Monday, November 25 at 10pm E/P during the ‘Lunes de motores’ programming block.

MEXICÁNICOS LANDS IN CALIFORNIA TO CELEBRATE ITS 50TH EPISODE WITH ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR MEXICAN BANDS

Brothers Jorge and Miguel, leaders of the northern regional band, Voz de Mando, wish to fulfill a longlife dream: to get a “The Fantastic Car” replica. This leads them to Martín’s workshop with an exclusive 1984 Camaro that Mexicánicos must transform by following a miniature copy.  Nothing goes easy with this transformation, but Martín finally travels to California to deliver the dream car, only to discover that his fame has crossed the border. He is happy to learn that the Mexican identity is still alive in every other hard-working Mexican individual making a living away from home. Martín discovers that his transformations and stories work as a bridge between the two cultures while his fans remind him that being Mexican is also a passion.

Creative hot-headed Martín Vaca, along with his entire team, are well aware that there are no limits for imagination, and during this season they are willing to prove it once again by bringing an exclusive Mexican Shelby, a 1979 Bronco on a state-of-the-art chassis, and a Hummer limousine with futuristic projections, back to life. In addition, a plane arrives at the workshop for the very first time and Martín must get his best team ready to paint it following strict and demanding aeronautical guidelines. News also include a brand-new Chile Bus that pays tribute to the agave and a new grandson.

MEXICÁNICOS is a Nippur Media production. Michela Giorelli and Rafael Rodríguez are the executive producers for Discovery en Español. The series will also be available in the “Discovery en Español GO” app and fans will be able to access exclusive material on Facebook and Instagram @mexicanicos www.facebook.com/mexicanicos and www.instagram.com/mexicanicos.

2020 Mazda CX-5 Continues To Separate Itself From Its Class

IRVINE, California, Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Distinctive styling and engaging driving dynamics have helped make the Mazda CX-5 the brand’s best-selling vehicle in the U.S. The previous model year introduced two new, top-tier trim levels to the nameplate that elevated the crossover SUV to new aspirations with a sophisticated interior and a turbocharged engine that creates a more premium experience. The 2020 Mazda CX-5 receives numerous refinements at every trim level, from performance upgrades to more standard safety features. Mazda engineers have also improved the noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) of the SUV to further reduce road noise for an even more peaceful ride.

CX-5 Sport is far from entry-level thanks to the many standard features occupants can enjoy. The premium ownership experience starts with the keys, in line with Mazda’s upscale movement, a new key fob design opens the doors using a remote keyless entry system. As the importance of safety continues to grow, Mazda is now offering the full suite of i-Activsense features to the 2020 CX-5. This includes Mazda Radar Cruise Control with stop and go function, Advanced Smart City Brake Support with day and nighttime pedestrian detection, Smart Brake Support with Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning with Lane-Keep Assist and High Beam Control. More new standard features include automatic on/off headlights as well as automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers. Subtle, yet sophisticated; the font is updated throughout the vehicle, from the badging and gauge display to the owner’s manual. Small attention to detail that together helps create a unique atmosphere. The seven-inch full-color, touchscreen display with Mazda ConnectTM receives a new Cylinder Deactivation System display, which will help show the fuel efficiency of the four-cylinder Skyactiv-G 2.5 engine. This naturally aspirated engine is rated to deliver 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque on either regular (87 octane) or premium (93 octane) fuel and is equipped with a quick-shifting, six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift and sport modes. The 2020 CX-5 is standard with front-wheel drive and available with i-Activ all-wheel drive. Other standard features include G-Vectoring Control Plus, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, electronic parking brake, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, AM/FM four-speaker audio system with HD RadioTM, two front USB inputs, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio, rearview camera, LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, push button start and power windows with one-touch automatic up/down function.

Building upon the many standard features, CX-5 Touring features Apple CarPlayTM and Android AutoTM capabilities, AM/FM six-speaker audio system with HD RadioTM, Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry, heated front seats, leatherette seating surfaces with suede inserts, six-way power adjustable driver’s seat, rear seat center armrest with two USB charging inputs, dual-zone automatic climate control, auto-leveling headlights and a rear privacy glass.

The available Touring Preferred Package includes the Bose® premium 10-speaker audio system, power moonroof, rear power liftgate and auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink®.

Upgrading to the CX-5 Grand Touring, fans will notice the 19-inch Bright Silver Finish aluminum alloy wheels, rear power liftgate, Adaptive Front Lighting System, LED daytime running lights, fog lights and taillights, power moonroof and dual heated exterior mirrors. Upon entering the SUV, the driver can feel even more connected to the CX-5 with new paddle shifters. Additionally, the driver is benefited by an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat with two-position memory programming. Front passengers have power seats at this trim level, while all occupants can enjoy leather-trimmed seats for a more premium look and feel. Bose® premium 10-speaker audio system and SiriusXM® with a three-month trial subscription are also equipped in the 2020 CX-5 Grand Touring.

The available Grand Touring Premium Package includes the windshield-projected Active Driving Display, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, windshield wiper de-icer and automatic folding door mirrors.

The CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve will continue to exceed fans expectations due to its many premium features. This trim level is benefited by Mazda’s turbocharged Skyactiv-G 2.5T engine and predictive i-Activ all-wheel drive system. Like with the 2020 CX-9, on premium (93 octane) fuel the turbo engine in the CX-5 delivers an impressive 250 horsepower and a robust 320 lb-ft of torque; an increase of 10 lb-ft of torque over the outgoing model year. When filled with regular (87 octane) fuel the 2020 CX-5 with the turbocharged Skyactiv-G 2.5T engine delivers a solid 227 horsepower and 310 lb ft of torque, providing an exhilarating driving experience. Further refinements to the engine include a new Engine Harmonics Enhancer that tunes to the engine with a much more refined and powerful sound, while the emission regulation has been improved to ULEV70. Another all-new feature on the 2020 CX-5 is off-road traction assist, which replaces the traction control button and can potentially help the driver when adventuring on uneven terrain. When the diagonal wheels lose traction, off-road traction assist will stop reducing the engine torque and increase the brake force on the wheels without traction. This transfers power to the wheels still on the ground to help allow the vehicle to regain traction and continue the drive.

In addition to these performance upgrades, the CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve includes many other premium features convenient to the driver. This includes a new eight-inch full-color touchscreen display, windshield-projected Active Driving Display, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, windshield wiper de-icer and automatic folding door mirrors.

For the uppermost trim, the CX-5 Signature includes all of the premium features mentioned and adds an uncompromising level of styling and convenience. The windshield-projected Active Driving Display includes Traffic Sign Recognition with the Mazda Navigation System equipped. The elegant interior features supple Caturra Brown Nappa leather seats, genuine layered wood trim, unique steering wheel stitching, automatic dimming rearview frameless mirror with Homelink®, SiriusXM® 3 year traffic and travel link subscription, ambient LED lighting and a black headliner. The 360° view monitor with front and rear parking sensors, 19-inch Dark Silver finish aluminum alloy wheels and a Signature trim badge help pull together the well-appointed CX-5.

Montefiore

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Montefiore Health System and The Department of Health (DOH) in United Arab Emirates (UAE) have signed a formal agreement to provide people from Dubai and Abu Dhabi with complex healthcare services, such as cardiac surgery and neurosurgery. Montefiore is one of few elite hospitals in the U.S. to form such an agreement with UAE.

Montefiore

For six years, people needing sophisticated care have traveled to Montefiore from more than 70 countries, including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel, UAE and the Dominican Republic. The new agreement between Montefiore and the UAE DOH formalizes the relationship between the institutions and ensures that more middle eastern residents in need of specialized services will be able to access Montefiore’s technology, clinical trials and expertise.

“We have had a clear vision for our international program,” said Peter Semczuk, DDS, senior vice president and executive director, Montefiore Health System. “This agreement with UAE allows us to share our expertise globally.”

“Families travel thousands of miles because they know the care that we provide is second to none,” said Irene Gebrael, PhD, senior director, International Department, Montefiore Health System. “Equally as important is that when people come to us, whether from abroad or the Bronx, we treat them like family, doing the best we can to provide a home away from home. We take this privilege and responsibility seriously.”

In addition to enabling families to get care at Montefiore, the International Department has also created a Visiting Doctor Program so providers from Montefiore can go to hospitals in various countries to share expertise.  

“By leveraging the expertise of Montefiore’s clinicians, we are enhancing the care that we can provide to our residents,” said H.E. Mohamed Al Hamli, Under Secretary DOH Abu Dhabi. “There are few institutions in America that offer unique expertise like Montefiore, and we appreciate our relationship with the doctors, nurses and medical teams who are providing specialty care that is not available in the Emirates.”

The International Department at Montefiore opened in 2013 and has rapidly expanded. It has coordinated care for more than 800 hundred patients from around the globe. Every aspect of a patient’s care, as well as the needs of their family, is handled by the International Department, from transport and accommodation to visa applications and translation services.

Airstream Supply Company Chooses HEADSPIN as Premier Adventure Tool

0

DALLAS, Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — HEADSPIN Outdoors, a Texas-based company that has reinvented the standard flashlight with its patented and magnetic convertible lighting solution, is excited to announce a collaboration with Airstream, maker of the iconic “silver bullet” travel trailer, in an on-going effort to better serve the adventure and outdoor communities.

“We’re always on the lookout for products that are adventure-ready and embody Airstream’s dedication to quality craftsmanship,” said Mollie Hansen, Airstream Chief Marketing Officer. “With HEADSPIN, you have a product that proves its worth straight out of the box, and we’re excited to give our Airstream community access to such a unique and useful tool. Here’s to never hitching or unhitching in the dark again.”

Airstream, the manufacturer of the iconic “silver bullet” travel trailer, is the longest-tenured recreational vehicle manufacturer in the world. Airstream’s mission, as set forth by founder Wally Byam, is to create well-designed, high-quality products that allow people to follow their dreams and explore the world in home-like comfort. Airstream Supply Company was established to further that dream by supplying its customers with gear, apparel, and products needed to make their adventures the best they can be. Airstream Supply Company features HEADSPIN Outdoors as a gift offering for premier outdoor adventure gear.

“The HEADSPIN-Airstream synergy makes perfect sense, and we’re honored to inspire adventure alongside such a renowned, iconic company,” said Chris Grider, founder of HEADSPIN. “We know our featured product through Airstream Supply Company will help make your adventure the best it can be.”

HEADSPIN’s adaptable lighting solution is intended to function across all the activities of an outdoor enthusiast. A rugged and rechargeable cube-shape powerhouse connects to various accessory mounts via the patented SPINDOCK™ magnetic connection that quickly locks into place, easily turning HEADSPIN into a flashlight, a headlamp or rail mount – for things like bicycle handlebars, boat or ATV rails, etc. 

Additionally, the light unit has the standalone capability to magnetically connect to any ferrous metallic surface to be used as a magnetic task light.

“Our goal was well-designed and thoughtful simplicity,” says Grider. “Any time we were packing to camp, hunt, or fish, we always packed multiple lights. Sometimes a flashlight, sometimes a headlamp but most of the time both. We wanted to cut down on the decision-making process, reduce the clutter, and develop a streamlined lighting solution. HEADSPIN is a rechargeable and versatile lighting product that we can conveniently grab and go.”

The HEADSPIN light, weighing in at just two ounces, is intuitive and straightforward – four buttons control on/off, four intensity settings, spot/flood, and flash mode. The lithium-ion batteries are chargeable via a proprietary wall-mounted charger or micro-USB and will deliver up to 40 hours of continuous use. The light also carries an IP66 weather-resistance rating and is tested to withstand a 2-meter drop.

“We spent considerable time designing and engineering HEADSPIN to cover various lifestyle needs of the outdoor enthusiast,” said Grider. “There are plenty of bright rechargeable lights and plenty that hold a charge for a long time. None do both and match the versatility of HEADSPIN, making it the perfect companion for Airstream customers.”

Hyundai Motor America.

– Southern Automotive Media Association (SAMA) Recognizes All-New Sedan for its Sophisticated, Striking Design and Industry-Leading Technology

MIAMI, Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Hyundai Sonata was named “Sedan of the Show” by the Southern Automotive Media Association (SAMA) at the 49th annual Miami International Auto Show. The award was given at the association’s annual auto show luncheon and awards presentation at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Determined by a panel of judges consisting of industry leading automotive journalists, the Hyundai Sonata was up against the 2020 Cadillac CT4. 

Hyundai Motor America.

“Hyundai is honored to receive SAMA’s ‘Sedan of the Show’ for the Sonata as it acknowledges and reinforces the importance of the sedan market,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “The Hyundai Sonata offers consumers a stylish and striking design, user-friendly features, and advanced safety technology at a competitive price point.”

SAMA presents its awards during its annual luncheon on the opening day of the Miami International Auto Show. A panel of SAMA members walked the floor of the show prior to opening to review the vehicles and determine which models would receive the SAMA awards.

“As a number of American car brands abandoned the traditional sedan market, the 2020 Hyundai Sonata is a resounding riposte to their decision,” said Joaquin Ruhi, independent journalist, SAMA Awards jury member. “Billed as a 4-door coupe, its stunning ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design language is aptly named and full of eye-catching details, from the low-set broad front grille to daytime running lights that creep onto the chrome hood molding to taillights adorned with vortex generator-inspired fins to improve aerodynamics. Hyundai’s traditionally high levels of standard equipment and quality interior materials clinched the deal.”

The Sonata is Hyundai’s longest-standing and most successful model, offering a bold, distinctive design, technologies and advanced safety features. The all-new Sonata is the first sedan designed with Hyundai’s Sensuous Sportiness design language. It is a fully transformed vehicle showcasing a sporty four-door-coupe look and represents Hyundai’s new focus on creating emotional value using proportion, styling, and technology.

The latest Sonata is the first model to be based on Hyundai’s new, innovative vehicle platform, which delivers improvements in overall driving performance. The car uses an extensive application of advanced technologies to boost comfort, convenience and active safety, including Digital Key Technology—allowing the vehicle to be unlocked, started and driven without a physical key.

The 2020 Hyundai Sonata has begun production at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA). Pricing will be announced later this month, in addition to retail sales.
