Now we can witness how Kia is in full (and risky) venture into an entirely new market for the brand after the good reception given to the GT concept car first seen at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show a few months ago. Just enough that the audience for this Auto Show runs out of breath by the design of the car leading to the design department received final approval by the directors of Kia to move into the commercial phase of development of this sport.

One of the most innovative features for an Asian company is planning to create a whole family of vehicles based on the concept GT, much in the vein of the BMW 6 Series will include a 4-door Coupé from next year. It is very possible even to see a family car with sporty lines very much in the tradition of Alfa Romeo.

Clearly, the German Audi and BMW are well on the lookout to the development of a line of cars that compete directly with its flagship products, with the added factor of a considerably lower price without it even imply lower quality or reliability.

The concept that we saw in Frankfurt had a 3.3-liter V6 turbo with 390 horsepower so you can probably expect something similar, although not ruled out hybrid powertrains.

Finally today BMW has decided to end the rumors and has issued a press release with a lot of photographs that makes clear that the car goes. This is a 2 +2 display described as the BMW ActiveHybrid technology. That is, according to the company, a symbol of high performance and efficient conduct of the future.

To illustrate that most of the public understands that it is, would a car with a BMW M performance combined with fuel economy and emissions of a small modern car in the high-end segment. This is the core of the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy.

The car uses a hybrid configuration consisting of a three-cylinder turbodiesel with two electric motors. It develops 356 hp and 800 Nm of torque is transferred to all four wheels driven by electric motors located in the front and rear. According to BMW accelerates from 0 to 100 in 4.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km / h (electronically limited). Consumption is 3.76 liters per 100 km and emits only 99 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

Being a hybrid car such as “plug-in”, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is able to cover the entire driving cycle for metering using only the electric motors. Considering the generation of electricity for electric motors (according to EU joint production), we obtain a value of just 50 grams CO2 per kilometer.

The plush comfort continues into the living room. The Ultraleather chairs allow an untarnished view of the entire motor home. The solid hardwood kitchen cabinets are designed so there is ample storage for all necessary cookware. The kitchen cabinets melt seamlessly into the ample overhead storage often needed for all those extras that are needed. The 40-inch liquid crystal display high definition television is visible from nearly any Ultraleather chair in the motor home. There is plenty of room for guests because it is a large open motor home with plenty of room. The ceiling height is a full eighty-four inches so taller people don’t have to worry about a low ceiling.

As standard equipment, the bedroom has a king-sized bed with a pillow top mattress and night stands on both sides. More storage is overhead that is designed with the same solid hardwood as the kitchen cabinets. A 32-inch liquid crystal display high definition television is conveniently located so it can be used for late night television viewing. The extra storage even allows enough storage for overnight guests.

The kitchen space is beautifully designed to maximize convenience. The solid wood cabinets and Corian countertops with a porcelain backsplash completes the area to rival most kitchens at home. The high rise faucet and pull-out sprayer allows ample space to do the dishes. The kitchen is completed with an optional microwave, electric stove, and a refrigerator with ice maker. It is a fully functional kitchen that is perfectly laid out for even the largest meals. Guests will appreciate the open space so they can talk to their host as they prepare meals or clean up.

There are three different models available: the 42 DLQ, the 44 DLQ, and the 42 RBL. All three models have a walk-in radial shower, weathered nickel fixtures, and Dupont solid surface countertops. Although the layout of the 42 RBL has a different traffic pattern from the other two, all three provide ample space to shower and dress in bathroom. With the overhead skylight as a standard amenity, the bathrooms feel bigger than the actual dimensions.

All three models have a one hundred gallon fresh water storage capacity and a sixty gallon storage capacity for both gray and black water. With such large storage capacities, trips to fill the water or empty the black water are few and far between. This way the occupants can enjoy more of their vacation without having to worry about maintenance.

In voice Osiel Pinal of Honda Mexico “is a truck fourth generation which is distinguished by its strong aerodynamic and sporty. “

Like all of you wonder what their characteristics are highlighted, because here we present you:

Honda CR-V12

Facing the ‘roadster’ latest batch of German brands, increasingly large and bulky, the Mazda MX-5 retains the purity of the two-seater: external and internal measures contained, highly pleasurable sensations without the high ceiling and enjoy highway high schools.

With a successful history of more than 20 years as security and path of one million units sold, the Mazda MX-5 retains the purity of the roadster classic, internal and external measures contained and fun at the wheel, making the occupants recall sensations unique tandem of old, yes, looking much more comfort.
Own a car of this type, the first thing is getting used to the initial feeling of being overwhelmed with the roof closed. It is true that tall passengers, as is the case of the undersigned (1.94 meters), more time to acclimatize to the low ceiling clearance and having almost eye level under the windshield, but a few kilometers will be enough to be completely at ease.

With a weight distribution of approximately 50% for each axis and with a really low center of gravity, the Japanese model it overboard in the curves. The speed of reactions, nobility and efficiency presiding performed every turn, checking and, unlike what happens in a compact or an SUV, the front axle is very much alive (because it supports less weight), which allows ultrafast corrections. The rear-wheel drive forces to be vigilant in low-grip conditions, it is always much harder to solve an under steer over steer. However, the standard DSC solve enjoy from the rear. During testing, the stability program was not activated at any time, shows that the MX-5 has a really high-dynamic limit.

The long trips are not to the liking of Nippon. No suspensions for being firm, not be classified as tortuous, but the rumor that enters the cabin, especially from mechanics. Accustomed to modern cars with uppercase comfort in the MX-5 increases the fatigue more quickly by adding km expressways.
The journeys made ​​with the sky for a roof are extremely rewarding, especially if you do not exceed 100 km / h, at which air turbulence are more annoying. After this speed, it is necessary to raise the tone of voice or raise the volume of the audio equipment to keep the loudness of lower speeds.
Whoever thinks that the visibility is particularly low in the two-seater is wrong because, even in city it is expensive to maintain controlled cars and pedestrians
.
The engine is a 1.8-associated 126 hp, in the absence of a turbocharger, cylinder pulls to give a push more than adequate from the 2,000 laps. In this regime, is strong enough to move quietly through the city and the suburbs. Ascending ports, is starting at 3,000 rpm when the rate remained quite strong. When attached to a short developmental changes, do not sInside, there is a lockable glove box between the seats, while there are only doors where space network paths to make objects is very small.

This special version Iuka is highly recommended, as the increase of the standard equipment (17 “wheels, metallic paint, etc.) and the inclusion of chrome elements throughout the body are attached to a discount of 3,500 euro, leaving the final price of 25,400 euros.queeze between March and mechanics to keep up in the appropriate regime. The intake obtained, 8.5 l/100 km, is higher than that recorded in other gasoline engines of latest generation. The lever, firm touch and the rest of the Mazda vibrates at idle.

The small utility that Audi reserves for young and urban commercial network reach in early 2012 with a new five-door body, no extra in the choice of four or five seats, with the same external measures that his brother three, 3.95 meters long, and a powerful economic engine technology on demand cylinder -selective former connection cylinders if not needed, which stands out from the wide range of mechanical properties.

The offer consists of mechanical four petrol engines with 86 TFSI, 122, 140 and 185 hp and three diesel TDI yielding 90, 105 and 143 hp, all name brand except the new 1.4 TFSI 140 hp, which provides approved an average consumption of just 4.7 l/100 km with the new technology on demand cylinder, in partial load, you can temporarily disable two of the four-cylinder as in the Audi S8, but in this case the number cylinder is much greater. Audi offers optional gearbox S tronic seven-speed, in the more potent TFSI, this change is part of standard equipment.

The A1 Sportback’s design keeps the three-door A1, although the inside has worked to give occupants more space 1 cm for head and shoulders, the trunk also has the same capacity of 270 liters, expandable to 920 if rear seats folded down.

Also there are two trim levels, the basic Ambition and the upper Attraction. The first includes air conditioning, rear seat backs fold into two parts, central locking with remote control, electrically adjustable exterior mirrors, electric windows, radio chorus and front seat with height adjustment.

It’s not as brutal as the Nissan Juke R of 487 hp, but we have a more racing version of Nissan’s compact SUV. The Juke Nismo Concept is a design exercise that anticipates the stylistic features of Nismo, the sports section preparations Nippon mark.

The first thing that catches the attention of the Juke Nismo are the athletic traits . If the conventional Juke already had a ‘well muscled’, this version is noted that Nismo has gone to the gym … and thoroughly. The presence of a rear spoiler , a body closest to the ground , a revised bumper and a chassis adjustment to make it more competent ( firmer suspension insured).

The color of the body, adorned with white pearl red accents on the tail of the body or in the mirrors, also indicates that we are not facing any vehicle. The wheels, larger, and features a spectacular 19-inch wheels and 10 spokes, complete the set. 

More than 190 hp

These changes are not merely aesthetic, but, thanks to them, the gains in aerodynamics and behavior adapts to needs more benefits and services . Juke Nissan Nismo says this motor Concept equips the190 hp 1.6 turbo that equips the Juke series … but with a higher power delivery and better performance.However, the Nippon mark has not wanted to reveal the final figures yet.

Nisan also ‘has messed with’ Juke within this so special. According to the Japanese (no photos unveiled this), steering wheel, pedals, gear knob, trim indicators and the doors have been ‘adapted’ the Japanese coach assume a much more racing style . Am

I do not know where to forward their career. The German channel SAT-1 will cover, but apparently will compact over the last two days to fully convey the main category. If anyone finds where he will live or finally a torrent appreciate it. And if you found earlier, so post.

Volkswagen has introduced the concept eT!, an electric vehicle that aims to represent the future transport and mobility. The eT! is electrically powered and allow semi-automatic driving when needed. A great novelty, since this new concept is able to drive through a stick from the passenger seat. A model that aims to continue the more than sixty years that the firm develops commercial vehicles to facilitate daily transport of goods, services, or delivery of mail.

The eT! aims to become the cornerstone for innovative and futuristic logistics concept, which not only emission-free flowing through urban areas, thanks to its electric-wheel motors, it also provides maximum freedom to maneuver and turn, and optimum use of interior space the vehicle. Also if you “refuel” with electricity generated from renewable energy sources, ET! can operate with zero emissions. Naturally, the eT! is not a vehicle that, unlike the Golf or the up! electric motor , may be available soon, but it points the way by which the Germanic brand will continue its introduction into the electrical world.

Prof. Dr. Jürgen Leohold, director of Volkswagen Group Research, said during his presentation at Potsdam in the development of eT “have been analyzed in detail the trend of the processes and customer needs, and beyond that, there have been ideas about how the segment of the courier delivery vehicles and may develop into a long-term future. In this context, we have focused on emission-free driving and the space available in urban areas, the functions of conducting semi-automatic that provide important support and simplify work processes and the integration of new communication technologies. Above all, we have also found the design of a commercial vehicle very emotional. To achieve this, our teams have not only looked to the future from the past, they have worked from a future perspective to implement an advanced development concept, based on the technologies available today. ” A futuristic model with which Volkswagen aims to revolutionize in a not too distant future the world of commercial vehicles.

Plans to improve the Liberty may not include Dodge Nitro equivalent due to low sales, something that is probably responsible for his not very highly competitive compared to other alternatives in the medium SUV segment.

Follow the trend of other recent releases, we could see improvements in the engines and especially in the interior quality, characteristic weakness of Liberty and in the recent past, brothers of range.

Other information from Chrysler is planning to incorporate start-stop technology in 90% of the new models come out until 2017 in the United States.
