There are only hours left for the presentation of the Lotus  SUV and we already have a lot of details thanks to a leak, such as that it will be called Eletre, that it is pronounced El-etra, and that it is just like a Lamborghini Urus. We know this because some photos of poor quality appeared in an internet forum and confirm other previous leaks of dubious origin. We are talking about those 3D models that came out days ago and that showed us this electric SUV from all sides. Now we know for sure that it will have that appearance that we had seen before. An Anglo-Chinese car with Italian-German inspiration If you were thinking that the Lotus Eletre seen in this leak is very similar to the Lamborghini Urus, let me tell you, we think the same.  The aggressive look of the daytime running lights, the huge unnecessary grille, and even the combination of yellow and black remind us a lot of the Urus seen from the front. Behind the similarity continues, although the d...

Audi currently has only one electric sedan in its portfolio, the e -Tron GT . This sports sedan, directly derived from the Porsche Taycan, would come to occupy a position equivalent to that of the thermal A7 within the company’s range. However, in the short term, a second model with similar characteristics will join it: the  A6 e-Tron . Like the e-Tron GT , the A6 e-Tron will fit into the  E segment (executive sedans) ; however, it will take a less radical approach. The new model, which will be launched on the market next year, will be available in two bodies: a classic three-body sedan and a practical family car (Avant), the latter body is specially designed for the European public. The Audi A6 e-Tron will have headlights at two heights, with the upper module forming a very thin “eyebrow” and the lower one hidden in an oversized air intake. Although  it will maintain the brand’s typical Singleframe grille , it will be completely blinded and painted in the same color as...

In a few months, what will be Toyota’s first electric car will land in Europe. The first at least of mass production and international distribution that in a few days will open the order book for those interested in the  Toyota bZ4X. As we remember, the bZ4X is a medium SUV (segment D) 4.69 meters long that will have to face increasingly wide competition. From the  Tesla Model Y , through the  Ford Mustang Mach-e, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Volkswagen ID.4  …, and much more. The bZ4X sits on the new e-TNGA modular platform, which will serve as the basis for most future Toyota and Lexus electric cars, as well as for some of the Japanese group’s “satellite” brands (this is the case of Subaru, whose Solterra is roughly a clone of bZ4X). Configurations and autonomy Finally, we already know the autonomy data that the bZ4X will have, which, as we remember, will come with two configurations, one with all-wheel drive and the other with two-wheel drive. In the case of the front-wh...

Last February, SEAT SA registered a new trade name:  CUPRA Raval  . Initially, this will be the name given to the production version of the UrbanRebel Concept prototype, presented in September of last year. Like the Born, the Raval will take its name from a neighborhood in Barcelona. The CUPRA Raval will be a B-segment  hatchback (utility vehicles)  called to replace the popular SEAT Ibiza  , although it will be a more expensive product, since CUPRA is an aspirational brand, while SEAT is a generalist. Wayne Griffiths himself, executive director of SEAT SA, pointed out at the time that it would be more expensive than the Volkswagen ID.2, which will be around 20,000 euros before aid. Therefore, its starting price is possibly around 25,000 euros. “The CUPRA version will have a higher price [than the Volkswagen ID.2 ] because we want it to be located between the mass and premium segments. We will make a very provocative design.  The stock car will be very cl...

The Audi A6 e-Tron sedan was shown as a concept vehicle some time ago – now a prototype is making its rounds. We have pictures and information for you. Following the recent unveiling of a new Avant estate concept, the first test cars of the upcoming Audi A6 e-Tron electric car have now been spotted. Audi A6 e-Tron test car sighted The upcoming new electric sedan 100kWh battery expected Around 690 kilometers range Sale in 2023 Could cost from around 72,000 euros Less than a week after Audi unveiled a new A6 Avant e-Tron estate concept, spy shots of the upcoming Audi A6 e-Tron have been spotted. The new Audi A6 e-Tron is scheduled to be launched in 2023 as an alternative to the  Tesla Model S  and the Mercedes EQE . ADesign Just a few days ago, the Audi A6 Avant e-Tron concept car was unveiled, which takes up many elements of the sedan study presented last year (see above). Neither the concept (abov...

Maserati today presented its new access model: the  Grecale , a medium SUV (segment D) located one rung below the Levante (segment E). The newcomer is an ambitious bet; Not surprisingly, it will have to stand up to the Porsche Macan, the sportiest and most luxurious model in the category… until now. Given that its German rival will become a purely electric model in its next-generation, Maserati has not wanted to sit idly by: in addition to two internal combustion engines (a 2.0 four-cylinder  mild-hybrid  and a 3.0 V6 Biturbo), the SUV  will have a 100% electric variant called Folgore . This will be possible thanks to the use of an updated version of the Giorgio platform, already seen in the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio. Aesthetically, the new Maserati Grecale draws from the lines of the MC20 supercar. With a length of between 4.85 and 4.86 meters depending on the version,  it is one of the largest proposals in its category . The headlights in vertical forma...

What was speculatively traded as the Audi Q9 now turns out to be an Audi Q6 manufactured exclusively for China, which competes with the Mercedes GLS and the BMW X7, among others. There are no pictures of the interior yet, but first technical data. We have been reporting here for a long time about a possible   Audi Q9  2022. Now it turns out: In fact, the mocked Erlkönig is called the Audi Q6 and is an SUV that is probably positioned above the Q7 and is correspondingly larger exclusively for China. Images of the design patent application show the vehicle for the first time without camouflage. And as expected, we see a boxy SUV that is very similar to the VW Teramont sold in China – in the USA it is called VW Atlas – and is based on the same platform, the modular transverse matrix (MQB). This also makes it clear: This newcomer has nothing in common with the purely electric  Q6 e-Tron  announced for Europe, neither in terms of size nor technically. Instead, ...
