There are only hours left for the presentation of the Lotus  SUV and we already have a lot of details thanks to a leak, such as that it will be called Eletre, that it is pronounced El-etra, and that it is just like a Lamborghini Urus. We know this because some photos of poor quality appeared in an internet forum and confirm other previous leaks of dubious origin. We are talking about those 3D models that came out days ago and that showed us this electric SUV from all sides. Now we know for sure that it will have that appearance that we had seen before. An Anglo-Chinese car with Italian-German inspiration If you were thinking that the Lotus Eletre seen in this leak is very similar to the Lamborghini Urus, let me tell you, we think the same.  The aggressive look of the daytime running lights, the huge unnecessary grille, and even the combination of yellow and black remind us a lot of the Urus seen from the front. Behind the similarity continues, although the design is cleaner and mor

Audi currently has only one electric sedan in its portfolio, the e -Tron GT . This sports sedan, directly derived from the Porsche Taycan, would come to occupy a position equivalent to that of the thermal A7 within the company’s range. However, in the short term, a second model with similar characteristics will join it: the  A6 e-Tron . Like the e-Tron GT , the A6 e-Tron will fit into the  E segment (executive sedans) ; however, it will take a less radical approach. The new model, which will be launched on the market next year, will be available in two bodies: a classic three-body sedan and a practical family car (Avant), the latter body is specially designed for the European public. The Audi A6 e-Tron will have headlights at two heights, with the upper module forming a very thin “eyebrow” and the lower one hidden in an oversized air intake. Although  it will maintain the brand’s typical Singleframe grille , it will be completely blinded and painted in the same color as the rest of t

In a few months, what will be Toyota’s first electric car will land in Europe. The first at least of mass production and international distribution that in a few days will open the order book for those interested in the  Toyota bZ4X. As we remember, the bZ4X is a medium SUV (segment D) 4.69 meters long that will have to face increasingly wide competition. From the  Tesla Model Y , through the  Ford Mustang Mach-e, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Volkswagen ID.4  …, and much more. The bZ4X sits on the new e-TNGA modular platform, which will serve as the basis for most future Toyota and Lexus electric cars, as well as for some of the Japanese group’s “satellite” brands (this is the case of Subaru, whose Solterra is roughly a clone of bZ4X). Configurations and autonomy Finally, we already know the autonomy data that the bZ4X will have, which, as we remember, will come with two configurations, one with all-wheel drive and the other with two-wheel drive. In the case of the front-wheel-drive version,

Last February, SEAT SA registered a new trade name:  CUPRA Raval  . Initially, this will be the name given to the production version of the UrbanRebel Concept prototype, presented in September of last year. Like the Born, the Raval will take its name from a neighborhood in Barcelona. The CUPRA Raval will be a B-segment  hatchback (utility vehicles)  called to replace the popular SEAT Ibiza  , although it will be a more expensive product, since CUPRA is an aspirational brand, while SEAT is a generalist. Wayne Griffiths himself, executive director of SEAT SA, pointed out at the time that it would be more expensive than the Volkswagen ID.2, which will be around 20,000 euros before aid. Therefore, its starting price is possibly around 25,000 euros. “The CUPRA version will have a higher price [than the Volkswagen ID.2 ] because we want it to be located between the mass and premium segments. We will make a very provocative design.  The stock car will be very close to the UrbanRebel  . You

The Audi A6 e-Tron sedan was shown as a concept vehicle some time ago – now a prototype is making its rounds. We have pictures and information for you. Following the recent unveiling of a new Avant estate concept, the first test cars of the upcoming Audi A6 e-Tron electric car have now been spotted. Audi A6 e-Tron test car sighted The upcoming new electric sedan 100kWh battery expected Around 690 kilometers range Sale in 2023 Could cost from around 72,000 euros Less than a week after Audi unveiled a new A6 Avant e-Tron estate concept, spy shots of the upcoming Audi A6 e-Tron have been spotted. The new Audi A6 e-Tron is scheduled to be launched in 2023 as an alternative to the  Tesla Model S  and the Mercedes EQE . ADesign Just a few days ago, the Audi A6 Avant e-Tron concept car was unveiled, which takes up many elements of the sedan study presented last year (see above). Neither the concept (above) nor the new prototype (below) looks like today’s Audi A6 – whether that’s a

Maserati today presented its new access model: the  Grecale , a medium SUV (segment D) located one rung below the Levante (segment E). The newcomer is an ambitious bet; Not surprisingly, it will have to stand up to the Porsche Macan, the sportiest and most luxurious model in the category… until now. Given that its German rival will become a purely electric model in its next-generation, Maserati has not wanted to sit idly by: in addition to two internal combustion engines (a 2.0 four-cylinder  mild-hybrid  and a 3.0 V6 Biturbo), the SUV  will have a 100% electric variant called Folgore . This will be possible thanks to the use of an updated version of the Giorgio platform, already seen in the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio. Aesthetically, the new Maserati Grecale draws from the lines of the MC20 supercar. With a length of between 4.85 and 4.86 meters depending on the version,  it is one of the largest proposals in its category . The headlights in vertical format and the large grille (

What was speculatively traded as the Audi Q9 now turns out to be an Audi Q6 manufactured exclusively for China, which competes with the Mercedes GLS and the BMW X7, among others. There are no pictures of the interior yet, but first technical data. We have been reporting here for a long time about a possible   Audi Q9  2022. Now it turns out: In fact, the mocked Erlkönig is called the Audi Q6 and is an SUV that is probably positioned above the Q7 and is correspondingly larger exclusively for China. Images of the design patent application show the vehicle for the first time without camouflage. And as expected, we see a boxy SUV that is very similar to the VW Teramont sold in China – in the USA it is called VW Atlas – and is based on the same platform, the modular transverse matrix (MQB). This also makes it clear: This newcomer has nothing in common with the purely electric  Q6 e-Tron  announced for Europe, neither in terms of size nor technically. Instead, the design: the strong brand

The end of an era: The 2023 Aston Martin V12 Vantage is the last of its kind, strictly limited, and faster than ever. It doesn’t come as a roadster, only as a coupe. The price? Her Majesty’s Secret! An Aston Martin V12 Vantage will be leaving in 2022 for the last time the production halls in British Gaydon – in a strictly limited series of only 333 pieces. The technical data of the 5.2-liter twelve-cylinder engine are given as 700 hp (515 kW) and 753 Newton meters. The switching work is done by an eight-speed automatic, whose racing software is intended to achieve switching times on double-clutch level. A mechanical differential lock distributes the power to the rear wheels. Equipped in this way, the rear-wheel-drive Aston should be able to sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. The propulsion only ends at 322 km/h. The torsional rigidity of the Vantage has been improved for better handling. Adaptive dampers and an additional spring set on the rear axle should ensure the best

A facelift is coming up for the Mercedes B-Class. Now a specimen has been photographed during test drives. There will be a facelift for the Mercedes B-Class later this year. As usual, the front and rear will be revised. We do not expect evolutionary changes. Exterior design The current version of the B-Class has been on the road since the end of 2018, so it’s time for an update. As you can see in the pictures, the changes will mainly be limited to the front and rear. As is usual with a facelift, there will be only slight adjustments. Innovations are to be expected, especially on the aprons, grill, and headlights. It is not clear whether all the lights will be changed or just a new light graphic. Engines and specifications It is also questionable whether you will see great changes in the engines. Gasoline, diesel, and a plug-in hybrid are currently in the range – and it will probably stay that way. If you look at the B-Class’s biggest opponent, the new  BMW 2 Series Active Tourer ,

BMW has teased the first M3 Touring in an official video. We have image excerpts for you and tell you what we know so far about the sports station wagon. BMW has unveiled part of the design of the new M3 Touring before the finished vehicle is unveiled to the public later this year – and is set to go on sale before 2023. First M3 Touring ever Official BMW video shows the design Alternative to Audi RS4 and Mercedes C63 station wagon 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine 480 hp in the standard model 510 hp in the Competition version Optional manual gearbox likely Optional switchable all-wheel drive Start of sales: 2022 The  BMW M3  Touring was teased in a video by the BMW M division before the finished high-performance station wagon will make its official debut later in 2022. This long-awaited alternative to the Audi RS4 Avant and Mercedes-AMG C63 T-model will be based on the existing BMW M3 sedan and is expected to be launched before 2023. Exterior design The BMW M3 Touring was anno

The upcoming BMW M5 2023 still relies on its 4.4-liter V8 Biturbo but combines it with an electric motor for the first time. The M5 Competition could be 750 hp (552 kW) in the datasheet. How does the more complex technology affect the price? With the model change of the 5 Series 2023 , the new edition of the BMW M5 is also available on the program. What awaits us then is indicated by an Spyshot, which shows itself from all sides in the first photos. We see a classic sedan that has successfully hidden its final design under thick foil. Unlike the new luxury models from Bavaria, the M5 continues to have classic headlights at kidney level. In terms of the dimensions of the kidney, we also expect a more classic, because of smaller variants than, for example, the M3 and M4. However, that does not mean that savings are the order of the day in the engine compartment behind it. The Spyshot is “Hybrid Test Vehicle” sticker reveals where the journey is headed. The heart of the M5 is the well-k

Maserati will launch the GranTurismo E at the end of 2022. It will be the manufacturer’s first model with an electrified drive. We have information and pictures for you. Maserati is late on the electric trend. The new GranTurismo is set to change that. The sports sedan is to be launched as an electric model. Now, for the first time, Erlkönig has been sighted during test drives. Market launch planned for late 2022 The first model with electric drive Design similar to the previous model Electrified coupe and convertible version When Maserati launches the two versions of the GranTurismo E later this year, the manufacturer will be the first to offer reasonably affordable electric coupes and convertibles.  The electric Gran Turismo has now been photographed on test drives in deep snow. As far as the design is concerned, you can tell that it is a Maserati despite a lot of camouflage foil. Overall, you can see several times that the photographed model is the electrified version of th

At the end of the year, Mercedes-Benz will present the EQE SUV , a model derived from the well-known EQE electric sedan, with which it will share the category (E segment), platform (EVA), and mechanical parts. Developed as part of a joint program with the EQS SUV, the star’s new electric SUV will become a zero-emission alternative to the GLE. Even though  the first deliveries will not take place until spring 2023 , the final design of the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV has been revealed thanks to spy photos of one of the units used by the brand for its  crash tests . How will be the new rival of the Audi Q8 e-Tron and BMW iX ? The front of the new EQE SUV shows the same design language as the rest of the members of the EQ family, with almond-shaped headlamps “fused” with a blinded black grille.  The bumpers are reminiscent of those of the EQE sedan , with two side air intakes that give it a somewhat sportier look. The model name is engraved on the A-pillar , while the rear is crowned by a g

Polestar, Volvo’s sports brand, currently has only one model on its offer. Although between 2022 and 2024 the Swedish firm will launch three new models (the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 SUVs, scheduled for 2022 and 2023 respectively, and the Polestar 5 executive sedan, which will arrive in 2024), the international expansion of the brand today it depends entirely on the  Polestar 2 . A rival to the BMW i4 and Tesla Model 3, the Polestar 2 sits on  the CMA modular platform , shared with the Volvo XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge . Since it will remain the sole keeper of the company colors for several months to come, Polestar continues to constantly polish it with hardware and software updates to stay competitive. Until now, the Polestar 2 was available in three variants:  Standard Range Single Motor  (224 hp, front-wheel drive, 64 kWh battery, 420 km WLTP autonomy),  Long Range Single Motor  (231 hp, front-wheel drive, 78 kWh battery, 515 km WLTP of autonomy) and  Long Range Dual Motor

The short overhangs are largely responsible for this appearance. The overall length of just 4.71 meters still offers a wheelbase of enormous 2.99 meters – the design follows the function, as with the

The Renault Captur is, along with the Clio, the French brand’s main bestseller  in the European market. This popular B-SUV currently has one of the most varied engine ranges in its category, as it is available in LPG,  mild-hybrid  (MHEV), hybrid (HEV), and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions. However,  Renault could go a step further in its next-generation , because according to the French medium  Caradisiac , in its third installment the SUV will only be available as a hybrid (HEV and PHEV) and electric (BEV), eliminating along the way the  mild-hybrid  and gas variants. Its arrival in 2025 will coincide with the approval of the new Euro 7 emission regulations, much more restrictive than the current one. The company hopes that thanks to its advanced E-TECH hybrid technology,  the Captur can continue to be sold with internal combustion engines until 2030 , the year in which Renault will stop selling thermal cars in the old continent to focus on pure electric. While the Captur HEVs and

A new crossover model from Mazda called CX-60 celebrated its premiere as a plug-in hybrid model on March 8th. To expand the market segment in Europe, Mazda will introduce additional models above the existing vehicles. One of them is a crossover called the CX-60, which celebrated its world premiere on March 8th. Read on for more details. CX-60 premiered on March 8th Mazda’s first plug-in hybrid model 327 hp system power Launch planned for 2022 On a new large-platform architecture Lots of new security systems Exterior design Now the time has come, the Mazda CX-60 was presented. The crossover is 4.75 meters long, 1.68 meters high, and 1.89 meters wide. The wheelbase is a good 2.87 meters. The front was designed very impressively, a long nose makes the CX-60 powerful and makes it look dynamic overall. At the same time, the rear has been blunted a bit, which fits in well with the concept. The aspect ratio of the radiator grille is adjusted, the height brings it to its best advant

The Renault Austral is the successor to the Kadjar. It starts in September 2022, comes with a new design and fresh technology. All information and seat fitting! Renault has relaunched the  VW Tiguan  opponent  Kadjar . The new one will be rolling out to dealers as early as September 2022 – albeit under a different name. Instead of Kadjar, the compact SUV will be called Austral. The word Austral is derived from australis (Latin term for southern) and is intended to evoke distance, travel, and the like. The prices are not yet known. The current Kadjar starts with 140 hp at 30,600 euros, and the Austral should also be within this range. Design: The current Renault line is a bit more angular for the SUV The design follows the current Renault line but has become a bit more angular here – with a striking grille in a checkerboard pattern and a huge Renault logo and C-shaped headlights, on the side with a high waistline and narrow window band. At the rear, in addition to a roof edge spoile
