The Skoda Enyaq was the Czech company’s first volume electric vehicle. Now, the company is already planning what its second generation will be like. The Czech brand is impatient for the launch of its renewed Skoda Enyaq, And it’s not that this is going to happen soon, but quite the opposite. The model could still be considered a  newcomer , since its launch occurred just  three years  ago, while its first deliveries were at the beginning of 2021. However, Skoda goes one step further and assures that they  are already available. working on what its next generation will be like  in all possible aspects and sections, given the time that remains for its arrival. The new Skoda Enyaq If everything the CEO pointed out is confirmed, we would be talking about an extremely long development, since the manager does not foresee the commercial launch of the second generation of the Enyaq until, at  least, the year 2028 . That is, five years before its series production, the brand is already workin

The technological arm of the Volkswagen Group has given the automobile conglomerate many problems. So much so that they could once again delay the arrival of important electric models on the market. Months ago it was learned that the Volkswagen Group had an internal crisis in  Cariad , the division in charge of technological development. This led to the delay of two of the most anticipated launches by the automobile conglomerate:  the electric Porsche Macan and the Audi Q6 e-tron . After a few changes, it seemed like everything was going  smoothly  for them. Now, new information published by some media such as  Manager Magazin  or  Reuters  points to more inconveniences and a  new delay in the arrival of both electric models . In its latest action, the Volkswagen Group has announced the restructuring of Cariad. As part of this strategy,  the company will cut a total of 2,000 jobs , something that will cause a chain reaction, such as the aforementioned delays in the arrival of the two

In Nissan’s long history as a brand, there have been many sports cars that have been launched on the market. Now, faced with their new electric stage, they seek to offer a more youthful point of view. When we talk about sports cars or supercars, one of the most relevant data is power. The larger that number is, the higher the sensations are, or, at least, that is what is assumed. However, a car  doesn’t need a lot of power to be fun  because it’s not a question of how much I have, but rather how much I can get out of it. Nissan, faced with its new electric stage, wants to recover a concept as basic as that of the  sports utility vehicle . A car with batteries  that is cheap and fun to drive  to sell to new generations. It will be combined with the  new affordable range  that they have already announced. Let’s face it, today young people have less interest in cars. Youth are more concerned about the latest mobile phone or the latest social network. Mobility has changed a lot in a short

Nissan wants to position itself ahead of any other manufacturer on the market with a complete range of electric cars at a reduced price but without giving up the right finishes and technology. Just a few years ago, the market battle was to see who would buck the trend and launch  their first electric car . Now, just a few years later, he’s focused on seeing who can sell  the most affordable electric vehicle . This is how the automotive landscape has changed in just under a decade. As has already been heard on numerous occasions, a good part of the ‘blame’ for this lies with the Chinese manufacturers for implementing affordable electric models both in their country of origin and for export to new territories such as Europe. Nissan  wants to be the next brand to match this trend. Companies like Dacia, with the Spring, or Citroën with the new ë-C3 have already sought to stand up to manufacturers of Asian origin. However,  the plan announced by Nissan goes one step further.  It hopes to h

When buying a new car, the  manufacturer’s warranty  is something that must be taken into account. Because? Well, because  any car can fail , and certain failures are  expensive  to repair. And indeed, many of them are not due to wear or normal use, but rather due to abnormal degradation that is, let’s say, the fault of the manufacturer itself. Well, the one in question is  the only brand that offers a 15-year warranty , and not for long, and although it does so with some specific conditions, it makes it clear that  they trust their cars more than the rest . Many car brands stick to  what the Law requires them  to offer as a warranty, and some others offer  something more . For example, Hyundai offers 5 years and stands out from a good part of its competitors by covering  unlimited mileage  in this time. KIA’s 7-year warranty is usually highlighted above the rest of the manufacturers, which has always been a hallmark of the brand, although  MG also offers a 7-year warranty  like the S

It also has SUV shapes that make it much more attractive than other similar cars on the market. Very low consumption is one of the great advantages that hybrid cars bring to the table concerning their namesakes powered by pure gasoline or diesel engines. For this reason, they have also become one of the most successful options in the commercial section in recent years. In Hybrids and Electrics, as our name indicates, we only deal with news and highlight facts related to this type of car, but on this occasion, we are going to break a spear for a car that is neither electric, nor hybrid, nor plug-in hybrid, but which is powered by a very low consumption gasoline engine both in the approval cycle and in real use circumstances. So much so that the  OCU   (Organization of Consumers and Users) has highlighted it as the gasoline with the lowest consumption in this report. This  is the Toyota  Aygo  In fact, they are only two-tenths more than its range brother, the Toyota Yaris Electric Hybr

Although  Toyota  has already opted for the  electric car , it is well known that its first steps in this field  have been a failure . Yes, they have the  Toyota bZ4X  in their catalog, but they didn’t get it right with its technology and it gives a  very fair range  despite its high price. We already know that they are preparing their  new generation of electric cars , but now they have begun to give more details about it and have shown us, for the first time, what will become a  rival to the MG 4 .  And also other models in the C segment such as the Renault Mégane E-Tech, the BYD Dolphin, or the Volkswagen ID.3. Toyota  is getting its act together, and never better said. A few weeks ago they showed us their next-generation batteries with  lower costs and better range , in addition to a very remarkable fast charging system. Just a few hours ago we learned that their solid electrolyte batteries are almost ready to begin  mass production , probably before CATL or BYD. Well, all this te

It is more powerful, more affordable, and more technological than all its rivals, so it is easy to understand why it has such resounding success over them. In a market in which prices are increasingly higher, it is striking that a manufacturer that also has the most cutting-edge technology among all those that manufacture electric cars is the one that, precisely, offers the cheapest models. And, in addition, lower rates regularly. But that’s how it is. The relationship between size, technology, and price of its cars is the absolute key to  Tesla ‘s success. This is something that becomes obvious very quickly when putting into context the price of the cheapest version of the model that inaugurates the brand’s range on the lower side, the  Model 3 . It is a  D-segment  saloon, so, by size, we are looking at a car of similar size to an Audi A4 or a BMW 3 Series or other electric cars such as the Hyundai Ioniq 6 or the Polestar 2. What is not assimilated to electric cars of its size is

The electricity market is experiencing a sweet commercial stage and the alternatives pale before its strength. Hydrogen is not the best bet, at least for now. That’s what Toyota believes. Predicting the future is practically impossible, although certain signs can tell us where a situation may lead. The world is changing the way it moves.  Electric cars powered by batteries  occupy almost all the industry’s attention in the short or medium term. However, many consider that it cannot be the only way we get around. The options are multiple, but not very viable today. Hydrogen  and fuel cells  are a real alternative, but some drawbacks are hindering their implementation.  Toyota is one of the brands that is most committed to this technology,   although it now recognizes that it may  be a mistake . The Japanese mentality is very particular. We have seen it many times over the years. It is difficult for them to give up or give up. When they have an idea they stick with it until the end. Alt

The Japanese manufacturer has shown a preview of a leading hybrid SUV that confirms that it will continue to expand its most exclusive model range outside of Japan. Toyota is, perhaps, the brand that reveals the most news every day globally, something normal given that it is the largest. The Japanese company focuses its activity on hybrid cars that are far from luxurious models, although the latest of all advances it has shown confirm that the brand is expanding its most exclusive range of cars outside of Japan. The North American division of Toyota has been the one that has published this image and, as  Carscoops  has pointed out, several aspects can be confirmed with it. The brief photograph belongs to a new model that is part of the brand’s Crown  range.   In the United States, only one model of this line is sold, which is the most exclusive of all the ones it has globally, but with the publication of this image, it is confirmed that little by little it is beginning to let the worl

Volvo’s cheapest electric SUV began production in China a few weeks ago. However, according to the brand, this plant will not be enough to meet demand and will soon be produced in Europe. But are there more reasons? One of the most anticipated vehicles of 2024 is the  Volvo EX30 . The electric SUV will be positioned as one of the most versatile and practical models in its segment and, in addition, one of the  most affordable in its category . Normally, this  quality  is usually synonymous with a car manufactured in China, mainly because production costs are lower there. And this is not going to be an exception. However, the brand has surprised with the opening of a  second plant for the EX30 located in Ghent, Belgium . The reason? According to the brand, “meet the high demand.” But is this all? The Volvo EX30 was presented a few months ago to a multitude of praise from around the world. The main reason was its announced price, which  will start in Spain at 36,480 euros  for the most

China has already become the main protagonist of industrial activity in the motor world. Leapmotors has just sealed an important agreement with Stellantis to manufacture electric cars. With a population of more than 1 billion inhabitants, China has become the world’s epicenter of car sales. The Asian giant has awakened from its slumber and, in just a couple of decades, has gone from not appearing on the list of the most commercial countries to becoming the industry leader. Its advanced technology and frenetic production pace seduce all brands. The agreements follow one another in a chain and the last one unites the  Stellantis Group with Leapmotors . An agreement valued at  more than 1.5 billion euros. The French conglomerate, under the leadership of  Carlos Tavares , has become one of the most important and influential groups in the industry. With  14 different brands under its umbrella, the consolidation of the PSA Group and FCA alliance  has caused a great change. Despite this, th

Honda wants driving an electric car to be fun and passionate, just as some of its thermal cars have been in recent years. The Prelude Concept is the first step toward this. The Japanese firm knows that it has to do very well to put electric alternatives on the market with exciting driving. Its thermal vehicles in recent years have set  a very high bar , although  Honda  believes that its next electric cars will be equally sporty and passionate. A good example of this has been one of the models exhibited during the 2023 Tokyo Motor Show. This is none other than the  rebirth of the legendary Honda Prelude , a sports coupe that a generation fell in love with a few decades ago. Now, this concept revives that model, although in the form of a 100% electric vehicle and with higher features. A first look at the electric sports car Honda wants to launch a whole range of electric vehicles in the coming years. To do this, you will need alternatives of all kinds;  from coupes to SUVs, includin

Its name is Lexus LF-ZC and it is the long-awaited electric sedan from the Japanese firm. It debuts a new design language and will hit the market in 2026 to stand up to today’s most popular electric models. During the 2023 Tokyo Motor Show, the conglomerate formed by Toyota and Lexus showed a large number of zero-emission models that will hit the market in the coming years. One of them has been the  Lexus LF-ZC , a 100% electric sedan that will  stand up to the Tesla Model 3 or the BMW i4 , among others. In recent months there have been many rumors about the arrival and presentation of this model. Just a few days ago, the first clues arrived about a future all-electric Lexus IS. This could be a preview of what will hit the market in the coming years. Lexus’ first electric sedan As the good conceptual model that it is,  the Lexus LF-ZC takes its lines and appendages to limits unimaginable  in a mass-production version. However, it does give the first clues of what will arrive in 20

Toyota and its typical Japanese mentality have taken a fundamental step that confirms Tesla as the industry leader in charging systems. Japanese cars will have a NACS system. Recharging is a fundamental process to take into account when buying an electric car. The multiple options available on the market are there to respond to a problem that is minimized as time goes by. There is no doubt that in these terms Tesla is synonymous with guarantee and speed. Its charging network, now public, has become a reference throughout the world. Its NACS system can now  be considered standard in the United States  after signing an agreement with the last company that was pending to acquire it, Toyota. The year has been very intense in terms of agreements to standardize a charging system in the United States. Unlike in Europe,  where the CCS format has been imposed  and is fitted to all-electric cars, including Teslas and Toyotas, in North America it has been advocated to give freedom to manufacture

Toyota  wants to celebrate the opening of its home show, the Tokyo Motor Show, with important launches. The Japanese reject that they are not adapting well and quickly to the electrical current that already dominates the motor industry. Although, for now, it only offers a 100% electric model, the future will be very different. The general plan includes the launch of 30 models before the end of the decade. Many of them will be conventional vehicles,  SUVs, and sedans , but a few others will focus on emotions. The  Toyota FT-Se Concept  that has just been presented is one of the latter. A few days ago Toyota warned of the launch, although there were few clues it provided. Just a couple of images that teased, yes, a sporty prototype. We also knew his name then and now the whole cake has been revealed, although the information is still too scarce.  The Japanese have not provided performance data, battery capacity, or technical details . What they have made very clear is that the FT-Se foc

 Everyone knows that approved range rarely agrees with real-life data, but in the United States, they are investigating Tesla for being overly optimistic. While it can be said that Tesla has conquered the world of electric mobility, it must also be recognized that this path has not been easy. The problems in development have only been a setback if we take into account the multiple and delicate situations it has gone through in recent years. The Austin company has been summoned numerous times before the judge.  Legal problems accompany Elon Musk ‘s brand. The last citation focuses on its approved range data.  The Justice Department thinks the numbers are too optimistic . Whether it is an electric car or a thermal one, the approval data rarely coincides with the consumption figures obtained in normal, daily use. This is mainly because in official tests driving is very different from what is done on the street.  You could say that it is a laboratory test under ideal conditions . Governme

The long-awaited renewal of the electric sedan that has broken all international records is now here. The first units are beginning to be delivered in Europe. Every time Tesla launches a new product on the market, the world holds its breath. Americans have managed to transform the industry over the years thanks to products that, over time, have earned a more than deserved reputation for efficiency and range.  The Tesla Model 3 was the car that changed everything . An unbeatable sedan in terms of quality-price ratio. Its new version, the update presented at the beginning of last September,  is now available in Europe . Deliveries have started in many countries. After many months of waiting, Tesla launched the update of its Model 3 to, once again, leave the world speechless. Although the most obvious changes are visible to the naked eye, the aesthetics are updated and inside it receives new details and more equipment, the real novelty is found under the hood.  The range is maintained, b

As was expected to happen, because  Tesla has been lowering prices like crazy over the last year, in the last presentation of results a sharp drop in profits  and margins per unit sold was announced. And that is not a problem, because Elon Musk himself announced that  this was the strategy  to follow for the future. However, the problem is that  they did not reach the delivery goal  that they had previously set. Despite this, the manager pointed out that the target for this year remains at  1.8 million units sold.  And it advances, yes, that  they will be forced to take measures  concerning prices  to reach  that figure. Elon Musk ‘s statements put interest rates in the spotlight. It seems that this, in the United States, is a major problem for Tesla. Despite this, they have already foreseen a  record last quarter  for this year 2023 and they have  planned their strategy  to make this happen so that, as they have committed to doing, that goal of 1.8 is achieved. million units sold. Ab

When it was about to hit the market, and even when it was launched, the model in question  aspired to be the worst nightmare of the Tesla Model 3 . With a more careful and modern design, a slightly larger body, the  highest level of  energy efficiency seen to date, and also  better aerodynamics  than the best of the moment. With this formula, and a  lower price  than Tesla’s electric one, it seemed like it would be  ‘the chosen one’  to snatch the benchmark position from the Tesla Model 3  but it deflated quickly . And it has only been due to  a problem  it has concerning the smallest sedan of Elon Musk’s brand. The electric one we are talking about is the  Hyundai IONIQ 6 . That, to taste the colors, but compared to the previous version of the  Tesla Model 3 , the truth is that it has a  more original and daring  design. Whether you like it more, or you like it less, that’s a fact. And the design is not everything, because it also came with  better aerodynamics  and achieving a  high
