Skoda Scala 2024 comes with powerful improvements

Image
The   Skoda Scala  is one of the most interesting models in the compact category,   much cheaper  than a SEAT Leon, a Volkswagen Golf, or a Ford Focus , for example, but it doesn’t lack anything. Of course, the model needed a renovation, especially to catch up with the Citroën C4, so here comes the   Skoda Scala 2024  as a restyling and introducing  improvements in absolutely everything .  The design has been updated, in addition to the fact that its equipment  has also been improved, and the occasion has been taken to review the  mechanics  in search of greater efficiency. This new   Skoda Scala 2024   debuts a   more modern design  than the previous one. The changes have focused on a   new grille , aesthetically more modern, as well as a   sportier bumper  than the one it had up to now. It has   LED headlights as standard , but it is also now possible to equip  matrix LED headlights  as higher equipment. And as usual in restyling, the Skoda Scala 2024 gets  new wheels  of up to 18 i

This electric SUV is €4,000 cheaper and more powerful than its rivals

The   Hyundai KONA   is a reference model in its segment and yes, it is an excellent purchase option. But there are  cheaper alternatives,  the model in question is one of the most striking cases. Especially because it is  a premium SUV , with an interior that overflows with quality and has truly complete equipment. In this case, I am talking to you not about any version, but about the  electrical configuration  of the new Hyundai KONA, and indeed there is  a Volvo model  that has just been released and can already be purchased  for 4,000 euros  less even though it offers  almost double the power. We must be fair and recognize that the  electric Hyundai KONA  has a body of   4.35 meters  in length, however, the   Volvo EX30  only reaches   4.23 meters  in length. The difference in dimensions is not exaggerated, but the Swedish model is smaller and that explains why, for example, the South Korean has   466 liters  of trunk capacity and, however, the   Volvo EX30  has to settle for 318

Tesla confirms Model Y Juniper will not arrive in 2024

Image
Last year   Tesla had some problems  because the constant leaks surrounding the Tesla Model 3 Highland  caused sales of the previous version of the model to slow down even despite the  strong price drops  they carried out. This reaction from their customers didn’t hurt their bottom line, but it was notable, and  the same thing was starting to happen  right now with the Tesla Model Y . In this case, it is more worrying because, remember, the Tesla Model Y was the  best-selling car in the world  last year 2023, so losing sales with this model is something that the American brand cannot play with. So they have come out to  make it clear that the Tesla Model Y Juniper will not arrive in 2024. How have they done it? With an  internal communication  to its sales staff in North America. In recent days, information had already arrived from China indicating that the   Tesla Model Y Juniper  would not be available this year in the Asian country. However, it could have been an exclusive decision

BYD confirms that it will sell its plug-in hybrids in Europe

Image
BYD  arrived in Europe last year and did so with a small range of pure  electric cars  that, little by little, it has been expanding with  new models. And last year reported that  BYD was testing its plug-in hybrids  in Europe. We also warned that they were preparing the ground to  sell these models with a PHEV engine in Europe  and now, indeed, the brand has officially  confirmed it . The first to be sold in the Old Continent, and we expect that it will also be sold in Europe–  among other countries  – will be the   BYD Seal U DM-i , a model that competes directly with the Tesla Model Y in its pure electric version. At the  2024 Geneva Motor Show , which takes place at the end of February,  BYD will show the BYD Seal U DM-i  as the first model with  a plug-in hybrid engine  that will be available later in the European market. In addition, the  BYD Tang 2024 , an update of its 7-seater SUV model, will also be presented there. At the same event, they will show the European public, for

Tesla prepares the largest Supercharger in the world

For many years we have been hearing from critics of the electric car what will happen when there are millions of cars on the roads.  That there will not be charging points for everyone  and that the network will not be able to support it. But some examples allow us to show graphically and practically that this should not be a problem and that the technology is ready, it is just a matter of investment and vision. Something that brands like  Tesla  shine at. And we can think that Tesla cars are not the best finished, that their after-sales service is very bad, and that they have few technical and sales centers. But if there is something where they manage to stand out, it is in their determined  commitment to one of the pillars of the development of the electric car. The cargo network. A network that has been one of the great bets on the part of the Americans, who have deployed the largest in the world, and which does not stop growing in number, but also in ambition with increasingly mo
