Its price in China has already been announced, and it aims to break the schemes of its European rivals. Chinese electric cars have arrived at a key moment in Europe. While the European industry aims to achieve higher profit margins per car, which makes the final price of the vehicles more expensive, Chinese manufacturers seek volume and more adjusted prices. In this context, models like the  BYD Dolphin  have the potential to win over the European public. Now we have known its price in China and the truth is that it has an attractive relationship between price and performance. The BYD Dolphin 2023 is an  electric utility vehicle measuring 4.07 meters in length , 1.77 meters in width, and 1.57 meters in height, with a wheelbase of 2.70 meters. It is almost identical in size to the Opel Corsa-e  (4.06 m), the Peugeot e-208 (4.05 m), and the  Renault ZOE  (4.09 m). The BYD Dolphin is,

So far,  Suzuki has not lavished itself on the electric car sector . Like most Japanese manufacturers (with the honorable exception of Nissan), the company has preferred to focus its efforts on hybrid systems… until now. And it is that the increasingly strict regulations in regions such as Europe will force the company to bet on this type of vehicle. It is confirmed that Suzuki  will launch two pure electric vehicles in our market in the very short term : a  crossover  from segment A (urban) scheduled for 2023, and an SUV from segment B (utility) that will wait until 2024. At the moment there is no information available. of any information on these models, although it would not be surprising if they were based on some of their current thermal proposals. It has long been known that Maruti, Suzuki’s Indian subsidiary, is developing an electric car based on the WagonR minivan (segment A). Now, it has been revealed that the company will also present a prototype of a new electric SUV duri

Philip Koehn, the new head of Jaguar, has already revealed the new strategy that Land Rover will follow. The consortium will introduce a new platform in 2024, which accelerates Jaguar’s transformation into a 100% electric brand and reveals the future of key models at Land Rover with major surprises. In the few days that Philip Koehn has been in the position of executive director of Jaguar Land Rover, the Briton is already taking the firm and necessary steps to redirect the path of the two great British brands, which will continue to bet seriously on the «Reimagine» presented by his predecessor in office at the beginning of 2021. An ambitious program that included  the transformation of Jaguar into an electric brand by 2025  and the premiere of  six electric Land Rovers . To this day, the conversion of the feline brand seems more than complicated, since there are only a little more than two years left to reach the middle of the decade. But  Koehn trusts the ability  of all his enginee

Last November,  the Tesla Model Y became the best-selling car in the European market , beating heavyweights like the Volkswagen Golf along the way. This is especially relevant not only because the Model Y is an electric car, but also because Tesla usually concentrates the bulk of its deliveries in the last month of each quarter (in this case, December). This irregularity is evident if we look at the October ranking,  in which the SUV fell out of the top 50…  after being the undisputed leader in September. However, everything indicates that these “waves” of deliveries will be mitigated as the output of Giga Berlin, the company’s first plant on European soil, increases. With 19,144 units shipped in November,  the Tesla Model Y saw its registrations increase by more than 260% year-on-year . The second place was occupied by the Dacia Sandero, with 18,746 units and an increase of 16%. After him, we find the Toyota Yaris, which reached 17,309 units after improving its figures by 150% compa

2022 is about to go down in history. A year marked by problems for many manufacturers, but not for the Hyundai Group. The Koreans rise to third place in the world thanks to a successful strategy with the electric ones. Times change and it is necessary to adapt to them to continue advancing. The automobile industry has transformed more in the last decade than in the previous five. The arrival of electrification has changed the global outlook, especially in markets as important as Europe or the United States. Each brand has faced the challenge from a different point of view, but it can be said that  the Hyundai Group has been able to take advantage of the opportunity to position itself as the third largest manufacturer in the world . Its electric range has a lot to do with this growth. The Seoul, South Korea-based conglomerate comprises the Hyundai, KIA, and Genesis brands. For several years, the group has been stuck in the sixth position worldwide, but  in just one year they have been

Volkswagen has announced that it will present a new electric model during the next  CES (Consumer Electronics Show)  in Las Vegas, to be held early next year. At the moment the brand has not revealed any details of the vehicle in question beyond confirming that the exposed unit will be camouflaged, so it will be a pre-production car, not a  concept car . Everything indicates that  it will be the definitive version of the ID prototype. AERO , a saloon called to replace the long-lived Passat. Like the ID.4, the ID. AERO (whose final name could be ID.7 or ID.6 Sedan to differentiate itself from the SUV of the same name) will be a global car that will be sold in the three main markets of the world (China, the United States, and Europe). It will launch the MEB+ modular platform , an updated version of the well-known MEB. Although it will maintain its 400-volt electrical system, it will incorporate a series of important improvements compared to the current architecture that will be reflec

Land Rover is preparing its future for electrification. The Range Rover range will soon receive its first electric drives, with the latest reports suggesting that Land Rover will have electric models from 2025. The Defender has been the off-roader of choice for off-roaders for several decades. With a style that has remained almost unchanged for a long time, in 2020 the latest and most modern evolution was introduced. Concerning its predecessors, the new Land Rover Defender offers a completely different approach, not only in design or equipment but also in mechanical systems. The current range already includes electrified versions, but  in the coming years, we will see how the Defender becomes a 100% electric SUV . This has been discovered by  Auto Express  through the filtering of different reports. The published data includes much more profound changes than what we can guess at first glance. The Brits want to maintain the current aesthetics of the Defender for the electric versions.

This past Christmas Eve, NIO held its big annual ceremony. The most important event of the year served to present not only new technologies, such as the third generation of its battery exchange stations but also to discover new models such as the renewed NIO ES8 and the  NIO EC7 . Both have been born from a shared development, although in the case of the EC7, the sportier lines allow it to focus on an audience that prioritizes form over function. His  arrival in Europe  is scheduled for  next year  to turn the category upside down. The NIO EC7 has inconspicuous measurements:  4.97 meters long, 1.97 meters wide, and 1.71 meters high.   Its bodywork stands out for the lowering of the roof line from the B-pillar. Located within the D-SUV segment, the EC7 will face im

The MG brand is experiencing an interesting resurgence. Since it was founded by William Morris in 1924 in the United Kingdom.

Everything indicates that ne

The EX90 is set to be one of the most advanced electric SUVs on the market, although it won’t be cheap. To make the range cheaper, Volvo raises access models with less performance and less equipment. At the beginning of last November, after many months of waiting and advances, the Volvo EX90 was presented to society. The natural substitute for the Volvo XC90 has arrived to be the flagship of the house. A large electric SUV will become a reference for quality, efficiency, and technology. The first data supports it. The only but we will find in the price and open the range to a larger audience,  Volvo is already thinking of different versions for the EX90, both access, and sports . This has been indicated by the director of operations and deputy director of Volvo. At the time of launch, only two versions were reported, both with a dual-engine system and seven seats. The access version, called  EX90 Twin Motor, offers 408 horsepower , a lithium-ion battery with 107 kWh of net capacity,

The American manufacturer has just announced that, from now on, third-party fast charging points will also appear in the navigation system of their vehicles,  as long as they meet a series of conditions . The company has also communicated that this new policy will begin to be applied first in Europe and Israel, to later be extended to other regions. «Fast charging points that meet our performance and reliability standards will automatically appear in the navigation system of our vehicles, showing up as Qualified Third Party Charging Points. We intend to provide the most satisfactory charging experience possible for our customers.” What requirements will a third-party fast charging point have to meet to appear in Tesla’s navigation system? The company explains that for a fast charging point to be displayed in the navigation system of its vehicles in Europe, it is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition  that it has a CCS Combo connector . Something that, today, the vast majority o

The British luxury brand Jaguar is planning a total restoration. From 2025 there will only be fully electric drives and the design will also be radically revised. The future of Jaguar should be exciting. By 2025, the British luxury brand wants to have completely converted its portfolio to fully electric models. The motto of the always troubled subsidiary of the Indian Tata group is: Everything has to go, everything has to be different. As you can hear, except for the electric I-Pace, none of the current models will have a direct successor. In the future, Jaguar will leave SUVs and crossovers to the sister brand Land Rover. The information about the new design sounds spectacular. The upcoming Jaguars should be particularly cool and dynamic, luxurious, stylish, and unique, and with materials of the highest quality. Just no more classic limousines. Yes, quite traditional, but also something completely new. Tomorrow’s luxury cars share the core of the brand but don’t imitate anything. Ro

Bugatti launched the Chiron Pur Sport in 2020 as the most extreme version of the street-approved hypercar. As a less radical reinterpretation of the car, the  Bugatti Chiron Profilée  was born, which never reached production and whose only unit will be auctioned as a one-off. The house in charge of such an honor will be the well-known  RM Sotheby’s , specializing in the sale of renowned classic and sports cars. With this, the brand intends to allow anyone to purchase this luxury vehicle (anyone with a few million in their pocket), to allocate part of the profits to charitable causes. This is the Bugatti Chiron Profilée The question that arises first: Is it a new Bugatti? No, it is not. It was born from an original idea to create an intermediate car between the  Bugatti Chiron  and its  Pur Sport  version, but it never materialized as such. “Taking customers’ wishes to explore a less radical version of the Chiron Pur Sport to heart, we began to design and development of the Chiron P

The eternal 4×4 from Mercedes is already preparing a renewal of its current generation released in 2018, adding new technology both outside and inside. The Mercedes G-Class is one of those cars that has hardly changed since it was first released in 1979 . Its square and robust design are even today so attractive that it has hardly changed even in its latest generation which arrived in 2018. Only the technology and what is inside has changed. This has also been true in recent years with the current model, however,  Mercedes plans to continue refining its G-Class with a restyling that is already being prepared on German roads. General characteristics This is shown by this specimen hunted by our spies which, as is to be expected and although it presents camouflage on its front and rear, shows off its famous square shapes practically identical to those we already know.  Where is Mercedes going to renew her G-Class then? Well, it seems that once again in the technological section . So we

The Swedish brand seeks to present a wide range of electric models. A leak confirms that one of the next to arrive will be the Volvo C60, the coupe alternative to the future Volvo XC60 Recharge. Volvo ‘s all-electric model range currently features the XC40 Recharge, the new EX90, and the C40 Recharge. The latter is presented as a very characteristic SUV coupé, something that has earned it to meet some of the most remarkable sales figures . However, Volvo will not culminate its electric family there, since it expects to show a whole landing of vehicles soon, and  we already know what one of the following could be . At the presentation of the new Volvo EX90, the brand’s most luxurious and advanced electric SUV, the directive anticipated a smaller electric SUV focused on more urban use. This is the Volvo EX30 that will be presented throughout the next 2023. But, in addition, there are signs of  a new member with a coupe body: the Volvo C60 Recharge . From the  CarBuzz  media, they have

Currently, Mazda has only one electric car in its range, the MX-30  crossover.  Until now, the Japanese brand had been reluctant to bet on this type of vehicle, predicting that by the end of the decade they would barely account for 25% of its global sales. However,  the rapid evolution of the market has made him change his mind . Recently, the company announced the launch of an ambitious investment plan to increase its production of electric cars. In total,  Mazda will allocate 10.3 billion euros to the electrification of its range , which will allow it to raise its sales target to 40% BEV by 2030.
