After months of advances and spy photos, the  Skoda Enyaq Coupé iV  is already among us. This model, brother of the Audi Q4 Sportback e-Tron and Volkswagen ID.5 , complete the range of the successful Enyaq iV, which has managed to gain a foothold in the European D-segment (medium SUV) in a matter of months. In addition, the Coupé does not arrive alone, as it is accompanied by the unprecedented sports version RS. Its dimensions do not vary too much compared to the standard Enyaq iV, as it measures 4,653 mm long, 1,879 mm wide, 1,622 mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2,765 mm, keeping the width and wheelbase of the original Enyaq iV unchanged, which announces 4,649 mm long and 1,616 mm high.  The trunk for its part will lose some capacity (570 liters instead of 585) . The most notable change to the Enyaq Coupé iV is its new profile, with a steeper roof drop and a steeper rear window. This allows you to enjoy  a better aerodynamic coefficient (0.234) , which gives you greater autonomy (u

The Tesla Model 3 is currently the world’s best-selling electric car . Although the American sedan went on sale in mid-2017; that is, almost five years ago, the truth is that so far it has hardly had any direct rivals within the D segment (medium sedans), a category that has been revitalized with its arrival. Although it is expected that in the short term numerous general proposals ( Hyundai IONIQ 6 , Volkswagen ID.7 ) and premium proposals ( Audi A4 e-Tron, Mercedes-Benz EQC Berlina, NIO eT5 , XPeng P5 …) will join this market niche, at present  its main competitors are the newly launched BMW i4 and Polestar 2 . Since the Swedish is still sold in a limited number of countries, the Model 3’s most international rival today is the i4. Both share  a similar approach :  fastback  bodies, a sports set-up, rear and all-wheel drive configurations, sports versions capable of overshadowing the “coconuts” of the thermal sector… However, the BMW has been conceived from a conventional model (

SsangYong has new owners: after a decade under Mahindra’s orbit, the South Korean firm (which went into receivership in April last year)  has been acquired by Edison Motors , a manufacturer of electric buses and trucks that aims to transform it into a brand specializing in electric vehicles. SsangYong already markets a model of this type, the Korando e-Motion; however, Edison Motors aspires for the company to have a range of 20 zero-emission models in 2025, reaching 30 by the end of the decade.  This same year the launch of two of them is planned, the J100 and the X200 . The first to arrive will be the J100. In the absence of knowing its dimensions,  it is expected to fall within the D segment (medium SUV ) , becoming a more familiar alternative to the Korando e-Motion. The decision to attack this category is ambitious, as it includes proposals such as the Hyundai IONIQ 5 or the Skoda Enyaq iV. Although we already knew the main lines of the J100 thanks to a series of  sketches  that

Hyundai became a shareholder of  IONITY  in 2017 when the club already had several members. It is smarter to bet on a  high-power electric car recharging network  (up to 350-400 kW) that already exists -and is growing- than to set up one on your own. In addition, electric car customers must be sold certain facilities, such as being able to travel far with reasonable stopping times. IONITY is open to anyone who pays the fee. For the general public, there are two options. Sporadic users pay -in Spain- the kWh at 0.79 euros and the usual 17.99 euros per month, but with the kWh at almost half, 0.35 euros. The first plan is called  IONITY Direct  and the second  IONITY Passport . Brands like Hyundai can make a more personalized offer to their customers, bearing part of the costs on their own. It offers two recharge plans for this network,  IONITY Premium  and  IONITY Lite , the latter being new this week. Like the Passport, the fee is paid for 12 months, not individual months. At the end

Mercedes quietly sends a new C-class convertible in invisibility cloak on a test drive. Of course, this did not go unnoticed and now the first information about the new model for 2023 has leaked out. You can find out everything that is known so far about the new convertible here! Those who are said to be dead live longer: After Mercedes had initially announced that it would shrink its product portfolio in favor of electric models, and spyshot of a new four-seater convertible has nevertheless appeared on the streets. You can find out what it might look like and what customers can expect from this model here. New C-Class Cabrio sighted on test drives Only four-cylinder engines planned Presumably similar design as the C-class Market launch probably in spring 2023 Summer, sun, convertible – who doesn’t dream of sweeping the streets without a roof and being able to enjoy the sun on their heads? The model portfolio at Mercedes is shrinking noticeably, after all, the Stuttgart-based c

Alpine, the sports brand of the Renault Group, will launch three electric models in the coming years: a hypervitaminized version of the Renault 5 (2024),  a high-performance  crossover  (2025) , and a sporty heir to the current A110 (2026). With this ambitious offensive, the Norman firm will seek to gain a foothold in the premium sector. The company today revealed new details of the aforementioned  crossover, which it refers to as the  “GT X-Over”  in its press release. This name gives us new clues about the personality of a model that will have the soul of a grand tourer; that is, it will combine the comfort and practicality of an SUV with the performance and dynamism of a sports car. This car will make use of  the CMF-EV modular platform , the same one that can be found in the Nissan Ariya and Renault Megane E-TECH Electric. Given that its launch is scheduled for the middle of the decade, it may incorporate an evolution of said architecture, so it could improve its current techni

The   Mercedes GLC   made its first public appearance at the ‘Hugo Boss’ headquarters in Germany. The medium SUV of the German brand and substitute for GLK arrives with a much more current image, more efficient engines, and more advanced driving assistants. The first novelty is its name: by the new designation of the models, the GLK disappears to make way for the new Mercedes GLC. At first glance, the second generation of the German SUV  undergoes an aesthetic evolution that was already necessary  and that offers a really attractive result: without a doubt, the GLC-Class is a car that enters through the eyes. Now it sports a more modern design that places it ahead of some of the rivals in its segment -which already have a slightly more visible image. Its main competitors are the BMW X3,  Audi Q5, or even   Porsche Macan  or  Jaguar F-Pace. The new Mercedes GLC has  larger dimensions than its predecessor , a longer wheelbase, and more equipment. However, it is 80 kilograms lighter tha

The Alfa Romeo Brennero was spotted on a test drive. It will be sold in the electric B-SUV segment and has already aroused curiosity for users. Although FCA (FIAT-Chrysler) and PSA (Peugeot-Citroën, Opel) merged in January 2021, forming the giant Stellantis, the truth is that even before receiving the approval of the relevant authorities,  both companies had been working for months on future joint developments  to save time and start exploring synergies as soon as possible. The first project of both companies was  the development of three models for the Alfa Romeo, FIAT, and Jeep brands on the PSA CMP platform , on which they continue to work. These vehicles, which will be manufactured at the FCA plant in Tychy (Poland), will initially consist of a utility vehicle (FIAT Panda) and two SUVs (Alfa Romeo Brennero and “baby Jeep”). Tychy models are expected to be marketed with both thermal (petrol, diesel) and electric powertrains, as  the CMP platform has a zero-emissions variant (eCMP

Almost two years ago the Xpeng P7, a Chinese electric saloon called to rival the Tesla Model S, was introduced. Its arrival in Europe has been long in coming, but it already has a price in Spain: it is available from 64,000 euros. It is not the first Xpeng model to be marketed in the Spanish market, as the brand already sold the G3 SUV (46,000 euros). And as in the case of the SUV , the one in charge of its sale and distribution in the national territory is New Energy Mobility. The saloon is offered in two different versions. The access one, called RWD Super Long Range, has rear-wheel drive, a power of 267 CV (196 kW), and 390 Nm of maximum torque. It is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds, and its top speed is 170 km/h. On the other hand, it mounts an 80.9 kWh battery and homologates a range of 700 kilometers. It is compatible with fast charging systems (its power is not specified), with which in 30 minutes it fills from 30% to 80% of its energy. Above is the

The  Range Rover  is renewed, but without losing sight of its original concept. The luxury SUV maintains its versatility, high-quality materials, comfort on long trips, and its high performance, also enhancing the capacity of its plug-in hybrid variants and looking to its electric future, which will arrive in 2024. It is already available for 135,550 euros. Land Rover  has opted for a continuous line and evolution in the aesthetic section, which looks more modern, but maintains a sense of familiarity. The brand itself signs that the model “is defined by its three lines, which remain faithful for generations: the low roofline, the solid profile and the raised running boards”. Its design also helps it achieve an aerodynamic resistance of 0.30, the best in its category. The brand allows its customers to get a Ranger Rover completely to their liking since they can choose between the standard body or the long wheelbase, with interior configurations of four, five, and seven seats, and betw

Nissan has released the first images of the sixth generation Micra , which will go on to be sold exclusively as electric. This movement will seek to boost sales of the small utility vehicle, which in its current version has seen its sales languish due to the high competitiveness of the B segment, one of the most important in the European market. The new Nissan Micra will be based on the  CMF-BEV  modular platform and will derive directly from the Renault 5, from which it will take both its structure (in the images shared by the brand it can be seen that the profile of both will be practically identical) and its mechanical organs. , differing only by its exterior and interior aesthetics. Like Renault, the Nissan will be produced in France; specifically, in the ElectriCity  hub  that the diamond firm has in the north of the country. Thanks to the use of the CMF-BEV platform, the 5 is expected to be 33% more affordable than the current ZOE , which will allow it to offer  a starting pric

Thanks to Renault, and its alliance also with Nissan, Mitsubishi will continue its commercial path in Europe. In less than two years a new ASX will arrive… which will be much more than a clone of the Captur. Mitsubishi breathes. The Japanese manufacturer, which in recent years has gone through serious commercial difficulties without guaranteeing its commercial network even for a moment its continuity in Europe (  it even announced in 2020 that it would leave the Old Continent to focus its strategy on the United States and Asia  ), managed a few months ago to ensure its viability through an agreement with Renault. This  new pact ensured , by itself,  the production of two new Mitsubishi vehicles in Europe . In exchange, Renault offered more activity to its factories, helping to produce these cars. The result is already in the pipeline: a  new Space Star  for the utility segment, developed based on  the  Clio 5;  and, in the case we are dealing with today,  a new ASX based , this time

A facelift for the Mercedes G-Class is pending. A camouflaged model has now been spotted on test drives – a new 4×4 version also seems to be in the planning stage. We have pictures and information for you. We probably didn’t expect to see the Mercedes-AMG G-Class 4×4 so quickly. Mercedes does not shy away from equipping the rustic off-road vehicle classic with a powerful AMG engine. In 2021, the powerful vehicle with all-wheel drive is to be launched as a 2022 model. Mercedes G-class facelift sighted 4.0-liter V-8 engine with 585 hp 4×4 model in progress Raised body Roof rack and spare wheel Rather minor design changes Market launch expected for early summer 2022 Specifications and exterior design First of all: The changes to the design of the G-Class will only be very minor. This is also confirmed by the new pictures that have appeared from the Mercedes off-road vehicle. The front and rear are camouflaged, but the headlights don’t seem to get an update and the grille will

It’s been known for some time that  Porsche will electrify its range almost entirely over the decade . By 2030, the company aims for 80% of its sales to correspond to zero-emission models, an ambitious goal if we take into account that it currently only has a single car of this type in its offer, the  Taycan . The first Porsche models to be electrified will be the  Macan  and  718 ( Cayman / Boxster ) , whose new generations will be launched in 2023 and 2024 respectively. An electric  Panamera  and a larger-than-Cayenne   crossover  are also expected by mid-decade, which shouldn’t take too long to follow in its siblings’ footsteps. The last thermal model to remain in the German manufacturer’s range will be  the legendary 911, a 2+2 sports car that has been in continuous production since 1964 . Although on several occasions Porsche has confirmed that the 911 will take time to become electrified due to its marked personality (it has the engine hanging from the rear axle, which gives it

Spotted: Is Porsche working on a new edition of the 911 Safari? LatestCarNews shows what the 992 could look like with increased ground clearance in the series! Is he coming or is he not coming? In recent years there have always been rumors about a new edition of the legendary  Porsche 911 Safari . A raised Spy Shot based on the 992 was  spotted again and  again. Reason enough for the How To Cars illustrator to pick up the pen:  This is what the new off-road 911 could look like! Wheel housings lined with plastic and  more suspension travel  should make the new 911 Safari stand out visually. This would not only give the Porsche a  more robust appearance , but the body would also be better protected against stone chipping. The front gets its apron, which is only partially painted. Rims with a larger diameter and  coarser tires complete the package. The 992-series Safari could be based on a 911 turbo, which would mean a prominent rear spoiler, side air intakes, and heaps of power. Wheth
