VW ID.7 will unveil the world’s most advanced air conditioning system

Volkswagen attended the last CES 2023 (Consumer Electronics Show) with a camouflaged unit of the ID.7, its new electric saloon. This model, which will be tasked with replacing the Passat and Arteon internationally, will be fully revealed in the second quarter. Although it will begin to be sold in China in the middle of the year, it will take a little longer to reach Europe.

To whet your appetite until its official coming-out, Volkswagen is gradually revealing new data on the expected vehicle. Without going any further, the German firm has confirmed that it will be in charge of launching a new intelligent air conditioning system that will activate the air conditioning before passengers get into the car.

If it is hot outside, when you open the door, the Smart Air Vents will begin to quickly distribute the airflow over a wide area using horizontal movements. When users sit down, the flow can be redirected. The climate controls will be located at the top of the 15-inch touch screen, so they will always be visible.

The force and direction of the flow can be adjusted intuitively from the control panel; In addition, the system will react to vocal commands. To go no further, if the instruction “Hello Volkswagen, my hands are cold” is spoken aloud, the steering wheel heater will be activated and warm air will be redirected to the driver’s hands for five minutes.

The Volkswagen ID.7 will be able to detect the position of the sun

The ID.7 will also be the first Volkswagen to detection of the position of the sun. A sensor located in the windshield area will detect the angle of incidence and, depending on the side of the car where the rays are falling more strongly, the airflow will be directed to the hottest areas.

Our protagonist will be in charge of launching the new MEB+ modular platform, an evolution of the well-known MEB of the ID.3 and ID.4. It will measure 4.94 meters long and, like the current Passat and Arteon, it will be available with a sedan and family body. Initially, it will mount a 77 kWh battery that will give it a range of 620 km WLTP.

Later the range will be completed with other options, including one of approximately 89 kWh with which it will reach 700 km WLTP. As for the load, it should reach about 200 kW of power in direct current. It will be available in both rear-wheel drive and 4MOTION all-wheel drive versions. Nor will there be a high-performance variant GTX, which will be around 300 CV.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar.

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
