Toyota unveils new C-HR with a more radical design

The C-HR has been one of Toyota’s great successes in recent years. Aware that its striking design has been one of the main factors in its popularity, the Japanese firm has redoubled its commitment to the second generation of the crossover, whose aesthetics are even more radical than its predecessor.

Developed in Europe, where it will also be manufactured, the Toyota C-HR adopts the company’s new aesthetic language. Its aggressive “hammerhead”-shaped headlights, very similar to those of the fifth-generation Prius, are just the tip of the iceberg of a design that will not leave anyone indifferent.

The roof, skirts, C-pillar, and rear are black, while the front and doors are painted in contrast. This striking two-tone scheme marries perfectly the angular shapes of the car, whose peaked rear doors are powerfully reminiscent of those of the Aygo X Cross.

This resource, together with the little glass surface, gives it a “coupé” look. The pilots in the form of a horizontal strip crown a rear in which the spoiler is divided into two sections should be highlighted. To improve aerodynamics, the door handles are recessed. The offer of tires for its part reaches 20 inches.

The renewed Toyota C-HR will arrive at the end of the year

The dimensions of the vehicle do not change much (4.36 meters long, 1.83 meters wide, and 1.56 meters high), being even somewhat shorter than the previous model. In the cabin, the leading role is taken by the Toyota Smart Connect infotainment system, associated with a 12.3-inch touch screen. At the equipment level, we should mention the digital key and the set of Toyota Safety Sense driving assistants.

Its engine offer will consist of four options, all of them hybrid: 140H, 200H, 200H AWD-i, and 220PH. The first three will be HEV (in addition, the third will have an all-wheel drive) and the last PHEV; that is, a plug-in hybrid. The 140H model will use a 1.8 gasoline engine capable of delivering 140 CV and the 200H will use a 2.0 with 198 CV.

As for the 220PH, it will reach 223 CV. Thanks to the use of a 13.8 kWh battery, its electric range will be 66 km, although this figure is still pending approval. A novelty of interest will be the Geofencing function, with which the car can automatically switch to electric mode when it enters a Low Emission Zone.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
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. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

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.
