Cars Maintenance

type='html'>Less than two weeks and then the brand new Volkswagen Golf revealed. This happens in Berlin and the available models, the BlueMotion clean enough to be eligible for 14% addition. Volkswagen has said this compared with Autocar, including the emission value.

Volkswagen sticks its BlueMotion label nowadays BlueMotionTechnologies in many lilacs making it available in some cluttered, but where the German giant in this case has been the entry diesel. Who gets a 1.6-liter TDI still greater fuel economy than the current generation. No 3.2 liters diesel he needs on average one hundred kilometers away to the Gulf to bring. And according to Volkswagen, this is associated with CO2 emissions of just 88 g / km. That is indeed sufficient until 2014 in order to qualify for 14% addition for business use. Individuals benefit from exemption from road tax.

Q2 2013
from above, many lease rider feast, but it still has to wait until the second quarter of 2013. Volkswagen sells the BlueMotion TDI not immediately at the launch of the new Volkswagen Golf early next year. A few months later, but still plenty of time for him to put on registration tax benefits.

Volkswagen Polo Blue GT 2012: Engines and performance. The German manufacturer Volkswagen has created an edition of the Polo that is able to unite what apparently seems contradictory, sportsmanship with the efficiency of their engines. It has therefore resorted to draw from the Polo Blue Motion Polo GTi and achieve both aspects and benefits of any GTi, but without assuming high fuel consumption, and conserving the environment. The new Volkswagen Polo Blue GT is a small compact but with the qualities of any large vehicle segment of the sport. This version will be available throughout Europe.

Undoubtedly, this new work of the Volkswagen Group acquired a unique look at both when speaking of its exterior, and the talk inside. On the outside of the vehicle are attractive elements as good exclusive alloy wheels 17 "and the GT emblems on both the front and back of the body. It also has great special sports supplements for this edition, and double chrome tailpipes included diffuser, rear spoiler and fog lights with a single contour for this edition. We also found that the distance between the set and the soil has been reduced 15 mm from the conventional version, thanks to the installation of a new sports suspension system.

Moreover, we also found inside the dose of sportiness and exclusivity that is promised, with a multifunction display with tire pressure gauges, all instruments of the series GTi, cruise control, sports seats and full details and chrome finishes. Elements such as electro hydraulic steering or remote central locking also noted for its great features.

Within the topic of safety, the new Polo Blue GT with all that is necessary today in a vehicle with such features. So we find in him, the ABS and ESP electric differential lock, automatic activation of hazard warning lights, automatic daytime running lights and Isofix attachment points for the seats, among other things.

Engines and performance
the new version of Polo Blue GT comes with the engine range comprising TSi petrol. This time there are three options available for engines 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4.

In the first case, the three-cylinder 1.0 of its maximum power ranging from 60 hp to 75 hp MPi technology, is exactly the same engine that equips the new Volkswagen Up!, The urbanite that is causing such a furor in the territories Europeans.

For what makes engines 1.2 and 1.4, both are four cylinders and are designed especially for this occasion. They have a gasoline direct injection TSI. The 1.2 produces a maximum power of 85 hp and 105 hp and the 1.4 in the case found its power in 122 hp and 140 hp.

All petrol engines are combined and despite what we think, are very efficient, including version 1.4. With maximum power (140 hp) and with the DSG transmission system, the maximum combined fuel consumption does not exceed the 4.5 l/100km. By combining the Blue Motion Polo and Polo GTi, the result is the new Polo Blue GT.

Volkswagen's new compact looks like a good option if you want to enjoy sporty driving, respecting the environment and our pocket without much suffer the consequences. That is why the new Polo Blue GT is aimed mostly at younger drivers, with security systems specially designed for this audience, who usually more forgetful as they are not accustomed to driving.

Diesel with the Volvo XC60 is more affordable thanks to the advent of the D3 engine. Simultaneously, the D4 version of the XC60 more energy efficient

the program of the Volvo XC60 diesel starts now at a starting price of € 45.995, -. For this money you buy the XC60 to debut D3 136 hp strong engine. That sounds low for a relatively large car like the XC60, but thanks to a torque of 350 Nm, the Swedish Crossover still nice being able to work.

D4 environmentally friendly
if average consumption for the D3 is 5.3 l/100 km at an emission of 139 g / km specified, values that are equal to the refined simultaneously with the D4 Volvo introduces new entry-level diesel. By its nature knows the XC60 D4 now a starting price of € 47.995, Strength is 163 hp and 400 Nm for hands. Who stopped abruptly from the accelerator accelerates in 10.3 seconds to 100 km / h. The top speed is exactly 200 km / h.

 He is not even in the showroom and now is the brand new Volkswagen Golf tuners already underway. The renowned Abt Sportsline has worked rap because there is not only a bodykit but also engine tuning for the entire range available.

We were a few weeks ago to sit behind the wheel of the new Volkswagen Golf VII, even though the actual deliveries are going to come. Nevertheless, there is no time to lose if you want ringleader and a first custom Golf VII to the audience want to display. Abt Sportsline is specialized in cars from the VAG group and did so probably faster than others where potential for improvement lay in the new Golf.

looks
Abt emphasizes the Gulf sportier want to watch but also the everyday practicality of the design is retained. So no extreme lowering or many all kinds of spoilers, but subtle, but present tweaks. At the front, the grille and the headlights were adjusted and spoiler decals for an "angry look" effect. Further back, of course, wider side skirts and at the back is a kind of trunk mounted grille. The two exhaust pipes on either side of the diffuser at a bit tuned cars will not be missed.

Volkswagen Golf VII Abt

engine Tuning
There is remarkably fast Abbot regarding engine tuning for the Golf VII. For the complete engine range is more power available. A summary of the capital: the 1.2 TFSI is from 86 to 105 hp, the 1.4 TFSI has subsequently 165 instead of 140 hp while the smallest diesel, the 1.6 TDI, after krachtkuut squeezes out 125 hp. Factory is 105 hp. Finally, the 150 and 184 hp versions of the 2.0 TDI, which can be screwed up to 180 and 210 hp.

The Toyota GT86 is already a popular tuning object and Toyota shows in Paris for the first own visual upgrades. Subsidiary Toyota Racing Development, the design work on its behalf.

Toyota Racing Development has been working in Japan to the tune and upgrades all kinds of Toyota and is now for the first time the opportunity to demonstrate her skills on the European market. The timing is, of course, with the advent of the GT86, a serious sport coupe that the image of Toyota again should provide a boost. Now the GT86 of itself richly provided the better spoilers, TRD gives the car a little extra.

Sold separately
Specific to the GT86 TRD has an extensive catalog of possible upgrades made. These are all sold separately and not combined in packages which you can fill looks completely. However, the thick rims but not the smaller spoiler? That is just possible. Biggest changes to the copy that Toyota in Paris parks his four outlets, new fog lamp units and a larger air intake in the front. To improve shift feel, a new gear designed shorter and better in the hand must lie.

Performance enhancing
not only the looks were addressed, even in the technical field engineers have TRD their works do. Although the 200 hp strong boxer still untouched it will be possible to replace the brackets for an adjustable set-up. There is also the possibility to further stiffen the chassis and the brakes replaced by larger ones. Finally, the engine sound even better advantage thanks to the alloy exhaust. For these components is that everything is sold separately.

The new Volkswagen Golf. The seventh generation of what has become a global icon. And a car that Volkswagen has put the bar very high. A new Golf to better, safer, more comfortable and nowadays especially cleaner and more economical. The new Volkswagen Golf is all become. The details.

With no less than 29 million copies sold, the Golf symbolizes a real 'people car'. Many generations have grown up with this icon from Wolfsburg with evolution time and again was typical for the new model generations. Also in this seventh generation with Klaus Bischoff and his team another successful evolution of its predecessor have been able to make. Recognizable as golf, as Volkswagen course, but on further you will see lots of new lines. The designers have clearly had the goal to add to the sharpness ó so familiar lines. The front and rear light units have largely lost their curves and give the Golf a more aggressive appearance. Also new is the "character line" as Volkswagen calls it under the door handles that even extends to over tailgate. Looking at the C-pillar and we see a clear-cut corner meant to the Golf a dynamic look. The new design is as recognizable as said Golf but also focused on the future.

Weight reduction
among those completely new bodywork lies an impressive development. Volkswagen is fact; completely against the prevailing trend of weight increases managed the Golf average 100 kg lighter. They used very strong steels, saved all unnecessary materials; new types of plastics used and developed in collaboration with dozens of new production partners. The largest gain (37 kg) was saved in the body and structure of the car, but also in the field of engines (-22 kg) and the chassis and the drive (-26 kg) were significant weight savings applied. Handsome, certainly in this segment with expensive materials like aluminum and carbon are not an option.

Growth
The weight reduction is also significant since the Golf again grown. With a length of 4255 mm, the Golf is now 56 mm longer than the sixth generation and increased the wheelbase by 59 mm to 2637 mm up. Along with the increased width and 13 mm front and rear wheels spaced further increased the interior space in all respects to. Especially in the rear benefit of one more leg, shoulder and elbow room. And who will be happy to take it with me in the Golf vii about 30 liters of extra luggage can leave. Partly thanks to the wider tailgate is today's 380-liter luggage compartment also better accessible and can long belongings by folding down the rear seat and the passenger seat completely shut down.

Volkswagen Golf

Equipment
Volkswagen may have saved on weight, that one has not the equipment. The new Golf is richer than ever before to rest. In the area of active safety supplies manufacturer obviously a whole series of abbreviations and synonyms English. Known systems from expensive classes, but nowadays more and more commonplace in the C-segment. Cameras keep carefully chosen lane into the holes (Lane Assist), scanning traffic (Traffic Sign Detection), keep the distance to your vehicle in front automatically position (Adaptive Cruise Control) and intervene even if it goes wrong with the help of City Emergency Braking , Front Assist, Precrash and multi-collision braking. Touch your tired? Then it sees the Golf. Even parking is a wise choice and that also makes the Golf thanks to the latest generation of the Parking Assist a breeze. Should it still go wrong, then the Golf standard with seven airbags for maximum occupant protection.

Driving
Help is also to drive more enjoyable. With one button can be selected for a five-set driving profiles (Eco, Sport, Normal, Comfort and Individual) that the character of the steering, throttle response and if any of the adaptive dampers adapt. A Golf equipped with DSG gearbox will in Eco mode go coasten ', which means that the engine is already off when the driver steps on the accelerator. Nice steering thanks to the "progressive steering 'taking the ratios of the control automatically adjusts assured. Since the Golf, as with the already driven new A3 is built according to the MQB-principle, the car certainly athletic feels better during cornering. Not least, the standard XDS differential mounted there also contribute to this.

Blue Motion / TDI / TSI
Responsible for the power transmission is a series of new or revised engines: 5 pieces in total. And here was greatly reduce weight naturally used with the primary aim of a lower consumption. Leader it is the new Blue Motion which naturally returns to the Golf range. With a consumption of 3.2 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 85 g / km set the Blue Motion all competitors offside. This Golf is in fact the end of 2014 secured 14% addition and no (non-electric) C-Segmented can repeat him. Besides the Blue Motion there are two other diesels. First is the 105 hp TDI with a consumption of 3.8 l/100 km and emissions of 99 g / km on an equal footing with the current Blue Motion. More diesel-pit is located in the second block TDI with 155 hp. Despite its bite from the character takes this block content with just 4.1 l/100 km and propels him while 106 grams of CO2 per kilometer into the sky. Both diesels are t / m 2015 accounted for 20% addition. Volkswagen reports also to the petrol front with the Golf. The two TSI engines are good for 85 and 140 hp. The lighter of the two measuring 1.2 liter and has an average consumption of 4.9 l/100 km and emissions of 113 g / km. The 1.4-liter 140 hp alternative we know now from the Audi A3 and Polo BlueGT. Also thanks to cylinder deactivation know this variant to kick it up a respectable fuel consumption of 4.8 l/100 km and emissions to 112 g / km remains stabbing. This gasoline can count on 20% addition, at least t / m 2014.

Ergonomics
As usual, the interior of the Golf very functional design. Tidy, professional and tight. Little fuss. Some will find it boring, but it seems ergonomically perfect again. Central to the present standard touchscreen that is available in 5, 5.8 and 8 inches. The basic model shows only the most important information (black / white) again, but the absolute top model called Discover Pro features a DVD player, telephone module, voice control, 64GB hard drive, WLAN hotspot and of course an extensive navigation. Each of the systems is brand new and also features a touch control that you can zoom and drag as in modern smartphones is the case. A scoop!

Just wait ...
It remains clever how Volkswagen generation after generation an evolution in design that combines a considerable technological innovation. Especially with this Golf 7 that has been lightened, has the most modern electronic devices, cleaner and more economical engines and more space offers its occupants. As icing on the cake is the new Golf is also cheaper than its predecessor. In Germany, the 1.2 TSI Trend line from € 16.975, - in the price lists to assist and thus is the seventh generation Golf € 455, - cheaper than its predecessor. The savings are even greater when you consider that the standard is quite extensive. flush with the opening of the order book. Admiring the new Golf can end this month in Paris and early November in the Dutch showrooms.

Are you including prefer hybrid cars or electricity than conventional-engine cars? If the answer is no, then you belong to the minority. It was concluded by the Institute for Consultant and Audit, Deloitte, in the United States after making a survey of 1,500 car buyers in the United States, 250 people in China and 300 more on Western Europe from different generations, namely the Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964), Generation X (1966-1976) and generation Y (1977-1994).

The results show, six out of ten participants choose to buy a hybrid or electric car. While more than half the vote with note, her energy is larger than usual. Only two percent are considering choosing a pure electric car.

In conclusion, the generation Y's pioneering career more leaning choosing hybrid cars or electricity. The reason, pressing the cost expenses. Things were disclosed also by Craig Giffi, Vice Chairman and leader of the Automotive, Deloitte. Generation Y will keep us from conventional-engine car and became a trend setter for hybrid or electric car.

Added, the conclusion could be materialized with the note, generation Y feel true advantage, durability and maintenance of hybrid cars. So far they have not been able to receive electric car technology, he added.

Currently there are 80 million consumers a generation Y that makes hybrid cars getting more and more popular.

Volkswagen prepares to reveal a Golf Convertible concept, if the reports of the United Kingdom this week is to be trusted. Volkswagen will change the one concept car lots become reality at this year's Geneva Motor Show. His arrival will also mark the second time that the conversion had been offered a GTI-the last version is the MKk1 sold during the 1980s.

It also has LED lights plus Edition 35, aggressive body kit and front bumper with an order for the back and side skirt, reports the auto express.

The all-new Kia Cee'd eliminate its concern unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show, activation significant improvements over the old exhibit.

The new Cee'd gets the company's updated framing figure as seen on the Optima, plate detailing around the windows and a much streamlined, long, devalue seem. The new Kia badge also features on the grille.

Similar its predecessor, it testament be built in Aggregation, and Kia says it testament be much informed, statesman businesslike and solon attractive to intend than the departing supporter, and to that end it's soul and alter, with a author streamlined system.


The boiler suit program is narrower by 10mm, but the look and straighten belt are wider, which should make for an author steady car through corners and developed stability. The styling has been intemperately influenced by curve whole investigation to meliorate mechanics, and so efficiency.

The engine extent consists of a 1.4 and 1.6 petrol engine, with 100 and 135PS respectively, and a 1.6 engineer with vanish 110 or 128PS. Additionally, many markets give get a 1.6 petrol with 130PS. All gifts are offered with the alternative of a dual brood shell.

Kia anticipates that the diesels instrument be the most general, with its 260Nm of torque, quality of six movement drill or automobile, 11-second 0-60mph run clip and emissions from as low as 97g/km.

A utility orientating cabin features iPod support, an activity of trims including plate, pianissimo illegal and metal, with contrasting multicolor upholstery options. Leather is offered in higher description models.

Last year, VW presented the Formula XL1 concept and in February this year the company confirmed that the 1-liter car would enter limited production.We are talking about a car the size of a VW Polo, but which is seriously lower, uses a coupe layout and gullwing doors. Inside, the cabin had a more conventional ` layout - the previous projects showed a tandem seating layout.

Discovery in Qatar Motor Show, the VW XL1 is a civilized version of L1 prototypes that Volkswagen has unveiled over the last 10 years. Caprice of Ferdinand Piëch convinced by the concept of the car 1 liter (100km) of the L1 has to comply with the requirements of the development series to become the XL1 and abandon its two seats in tandem for two seats side by side - the passenger is slightly recessed. It is found in these photos spies almost identical presentation in Qatar. Only the Volkswagen logo hidden, the rear wheel arches not faired particularly large mirrors betray a vehicle close to the series.

One always looks so radical that will make a very distinctive vehicle when it is released on the world's roads. As a reminder, it will be powered by a small engine to consume months of a liter per 100 kilometers and reject only 24 grams of CO2 per kilometer. Remains unknown, the price - probably prohibitive - which will be offered the very exclusive and limited Volkswagen XL1.

Citroen is extending its C4 range with the introduction of the new Citroen C4 AIRCROSS. This technology allows the car to be driven permanently in four-wheel drive mode, with the torque optimally distributed between the front and rear wheels.

By combining style and technological innovation in a single car, the Citroen C4 Air cross is ideally suited to modern lifestyles that introduce a sense of escape into everyday activities. The styling of the Citroen C4 Aircross draws upon the Marque's DNA, combining the vitality of the other models in the range with the powerful styling of an off-roader.

The sophisticated design of the Citroen C4 Aircross includes repeater lights in the door mirrors, light guides in the rear lights and a rearview camera built into the chrome trim on the tailgate.
The expressive style draws upon Citroen’s distinctive design cues. This technology allows the car to be driven permanently in four-wheel drive mode, while the torque is optimally distributed between the front and rear wheels.

Right from launch, the Citroen C4 Aircross will also benefit from the performance of the HDi 150 engine (also available with 2WD and 4WD with a 6-speed manual gearbox) and a 115 bhp 1.6i petrol engine (available in a 2WD version with a 5-speed manual gearbox).

Citroen says that its new C4 Aircross will be powered by two diesels which are coming in some different trims, like the 1.6 liter HDi with its 110 and 150 horsepower (270 Nm / 199 lb-ft), and a 1.8 liter unit delivering 148 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque (221 lb-ft), both mated to the standard six-speed manual transmission. Citroen didn’t announce the prices for its new crossover / SUV or if the vehicle can be pre-ordered.

It is no secret that the Toyota Yaris a mostly older audience. And Toyota would like to change. The Yaris would also be bought by young people. With the Yaris Trend does one attempt.

According to his own words plays with the Toyota Yaris Trend to the growing needs of young people to distinguish themselves in their choice of car. Now Toyota is still unclear what the precise choices at the Yaris trend, but with just a few stickers on the side doors, a few special wheels and some unique colors, the Yaris is not suddenly a trendy car for young people. We give Toyota still some time, because who knows what is in Paris for details out of the hat transforms. A little patience.

Suzuki SX4: Spy Shots. The new Suzuki SX4 is already in the last phase of testing on the open road through the spectacular and magical Sierra Nevada, some prototypes usual step in the different tests of altitude. Of course, tells about his body with a thick camouflage, making it difficult to clearly see the new forms that have the old compact minivan converted now made in Japan. Very soon begin production at its plant in Hungary, around January 2013. So there is really little, to see the model in our dealerships Nippon. Suzuki SX4, hunted by our land ...

Testing in Sierra Nevada
The conversion of compact 'all road' a minivan, has been most surprising ... The truth is, that under the great amount of camouflage, really appreciate a few details. But the prototype Suzuki, and enjoy the final stage of development where open wheel road, and we bring all the spy photos courtesy of autoblog.com

In this case, was for Sierra Nevada, Granada in Spain, where firms set to test their new mules in the different tests in altitude and the mountain Granada holds the altitude record in the Iberian Peninsula. As such, the new Range Rover or Peugeot 3008 and 5008 e-HDi.

This thick camouflage, warily keeps the exterior design of the new Suzuki SX4. We can look shyly, something of the grille, which could be an intercooler ... also something in the mirror ... And in the photo spy in the cab, we see a dashboard of the most conservative, as the Nippon brand, which has this model made in full, will not risk a minivan to a very important segment for the same.

As for his mechanics, could incorporate both a turbo diesel engine, a supercharged gasoline engine turbo, but as we know, the new trend of manufacturers is to mount new small-displacement engines and turbo.

A little history ...
Back in 2006, Fiat and Suzuki jointly created a new model for the segment C, known as the Sedici and SX4, which was virtually identical in design, but fully equal in the mechanical and performance based, with versions of front wheel drive and all, being born in the same assembly in Hungary for the European and Asian markets.

Subsequently, the alliance that kept the Italian group and the manufacturer Nippon broke when the latter chose to link to Volkswagen for the relief of this model. Although this agreement was not effective, as Suzuki breached some rules of the New Covenant, as acquiring small displacement diesel engines to its former partner Fiat’s is that the loves of the past always come back...

Start of production
for this reason, the second generation of the Suzuki SX4 has been developed, as I said before, completely and without external agreements by the Japanese label, which will remain in its Hungarian factory Esztergorn, develop all their new models.

The start of production is expected in January next year, with an average annual production of 61,581 units, so that its presentation at the Paris Motor Show is a more than safe.

Volkswagen Golf 2013: Official launch on 4 September. As you approach the end of the year, multiply the news about new releases and presentations of the 2013 versions of many models. One of the most anticipated is the Volkswagen Golf 2013, a car that will know its seventh generation this coming September. A car is one of the great protagonists of the Paris Motor Show 2012, but it will not wait for the conclusion of the Paris event to be disclosed to the public, but it will have its official launch a few weeks before, exactly the September 4 at the Museum of Modern Art in Berlin.

A presentation in a unique and unusual for a car, although it is true that the Volkswagen Golf is not a car either. Not surprisingly, we discuss a model that has been going 38 years without interruption in the market, a path that is difficult today to imagine many other compact cars and cities. A life that gives a clear indication of the wide acceptance that has always had the audience in many different parts of the planet. This success has become a classic, and continues to be, year after year, one of the best selling models.

A seventh generation of a conservative
The Volkswagen Golf 2013 is the first of the seventh generation of this compact German, a new generation that will bring, let alone, great revolutions. In fact, we could consider it almost like some back to the classical canons, those who have helped to keep this model from the top of its target audience. A model that retrieves the most recognizable face of the new Volkswagen, a piece that, with certain modifications, can be found in the Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid 2013 for example.

The seventh generation of the Volkswagen Golf holds significant similarities with the appearance that we know of the latest Volkswagen Polo. It's almost as if, rather than draw on the Golf for the development of Polo, as expected, on this occasion was the Pole who has served as a reference in the new line of Volkswagen Golf. This assumption can confirm in the next few days, when in the days prior to this presentation, let see some official images of the new model.

Presentation in the midst of modern art
A very original framework and rare for the submission of a car is the Volkswagen has chosen the official coming-out of the seventh generation Golf. The Museum of Modern Art in Berlin will be the setting for this exclusive event, which can only come with the relevant invitation; we will know all the details of Volkswagen Golf 2013 that will take place on September 4 in the German capital.

Less than months both are unearthed the secrets of the new version of the Volkswagen Golf, a car will hit dealerships later this year 2012.

Volvo S80 puts the spotlight as a Limited Edition. Twenty percent aggregation only Volvo was not enough. The Swedish brand delivers the S80 D4 thus as richly equipped Limited Edition. The special version is also available with gasoline, but it does not benefit from a lower addition.

Volvo equips the S80 Limited Edition with lots of options that the comfort and safety of the car increase. Standard safety features include dual Xenon headlights with adaptive cornering lights, rain sensor, headlamp cleaning system and Park Assist Rear. In addition, the Swede on additional equipment like a navigation system with hard disk and voice and steering wheel controls and the High Performance Multimedia system that a 7-inch color screen, a DVD player, eight speakers, a USB port and Bluetooth audio streaming covers. Also assembles the manufacturer standard leather upholstery and heated front seats in the luxury S80.

20 percent aggregation
Volvo S80 delivers the Limited Edition as T4 with a 180 hp turbo engine and D4 as a five-cylinder turbo diesel engine with 163 horsepower. The latter is so efficient that the model has about 20% addition. Both engines are also combined with a standard six-speed manual, but can optionally be connected to an automatic. In the case of the T4 is that the Power Shift dual clutch transmission and the D4 assemble the Volvo Geartronic transmission. The surcharge amounts to € 2.800, - and € 3.300, -.

Immediately to order
the prices of the Volvo S80 Limited Edition are available for a minimum of € 41.995, - for the T4 and from € 43.995, - for the D4. The implementation is available immediately for order.

Volkswagen Golf GTI Carbon Edition: Possible concept in process. The seventh generation of the Volkswagen Golf continues to be talking about. After a couple of months speculating about their appearance, engines and features, now that it has been presented, starting time evolutions. One of the most interesting is this possible concept Volkswagen Golf GTI Carbon Edition, which try, through a drastic weight reduction for greater speed, responsiveness and sportier performance. A line, seeing where the shots are going in the supercar segment, may be the most appropriate.

It is curious, however, that, just a week after his presentation and without being given their decision public contact in the Paris Motor Show 2012, is already talking about what might be in the future, rather than now further exploit the Volkswagen Golf VII. However, as news of a compact made with carbon fiber could not be overlooked in the motoring world.

Less weight
that is the ultimate goal, the achievement you want to achieve with this carbon fiber manufacture of structural elements, a development already in supercars like the Lamborghini Aventador and the Mazda MX-5 GT, which dominates the material. With this type of construction the Volkswagen Golf GTI Carbon Edition could achieve a reduction of up to 200 kilograms, down with clear implications for their behavior in terms of speed, versatility and use of engine power.

With these figures, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Carbon Edition could achieve spectacular increases in their numbers of acceleration (from 0 to 100 km / h in under six seconds) and top speed compared to Golf GTI we already know. All with the same 2.0 liter engine powered 225 hp on incorporating the sportier version of the Volkswagen Golf range. Thus, would have a material advantage are compared to Audi RS3 Sportback for example, one car with over 300 horsepower, but with a more typical weight of a sedan than a compact.

A clear line of evolution
With this proposal, Volkswagen is positioned in the usual trade-off between an increase in engine power or a reduction of vehicle weight to achieve the highest possible sporting behavior. While manufacturers like Bugatti bid to achieve the most potent engine, a huge number of CV unusable except in very particular conditions, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Carbon Edition prefer releasing ballast to bring these sporty performance to any user who is do with the vehicle, without having to deal with a closed circuit.

Which of the two lines is correct? It seems clear that if we speak of vehicles for private use on public roads, the second option is the more interesting and that's what you want to accomplish with this Volkswagen concept car that seems to have begun development work.

Toyota has announced the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid will go on sale in the first half of 2012, priced at less than £31,000.

With the Toyota Prius retaining its 1.8-litre petrol engine, the enhanced hybrid drive train is set to deliver exceptional fuel economy and emissions without any of the all-electric alternatives’ range anxiety, while undercutting the forthcoming Vauxhall Ampera by £3,000.

The exact efficiency figures are yet to be officially homologated, but Toyota is confident the Toyota Prius Plug-in will return 134.5mpg on the EU combined testing cycle while emitting just 49g/km CO2.

This gives the Toyota Prius Plug-in an electric-only range of over 14 miles – compared to the current car’s 1.5 mile electric max – while the continuing presence of the petrol engine means you should always be able to find somewhere to refuel.

Toyota Prius Hybrid’s combination of 1.8-litre petrol engine and battery power, plus its full recharge time of an hour and a half, should help hurdle the major EV consumer barrier of range anxiety and flat-battery-panic. The latest in the line of best-selling Toyota Prius cars can cover up to 14 miles in pure EV mode. Usefully, both from a consumer and PR perspective; Toyota are actually testing their economy claims with the new Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid being assessed in real-world demonstration programmed with 200 prototype Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles in Europe – 20 of them in London. Businesses will save on fleet costs thanks to a 100 per cent write-down allowance and lower National Insurance contributions. Power to the (electric) people!

The pricing is competitive compared to the latest EV models on the market, but Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid offers more flexible performance, thanks to its powertrain which combines an electric motor, a lithium-ion battery and a petrol engine. The convenience and efficiency of Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid extends to the system for recharging the lithium-ion battery. Prior to official homologation, Toyota predicts Prius Plug-in Hybrid will emit 49g/km of carbon dioxide and achieve 134.5mpg combined cycle fuel economy. Ewan Shepherd, General Manager Toyota/Lexus Fleet Services said: “Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid will be an exciting and valuable addition to what is already an industry-leading Toyota range that delivers significant financial benefits to companies and company car drivers with advanced and highly efficient models such as Toyota Prius and the British-built Auris Hybrid.”

The advantages of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid are being measured in real-world demonstration programmed with 200 prototypes Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) in Europe – 20 of them in London.

After a German car magazine for some information about the upcoming Volkswagen Golf VII managed to find out, claiming the Autocar now even all the official details available. And the British magazine duly enters in the numbers.

In early September, prior to the big, official presentation at the Paris Motor Show, the new Volkswagen Golf VII in Berlin are presented to several guests, including us. These guests have the privilege to be the first with the new Golf acquainted. But thanks to Autocar, and before Auto Motor und Sport, we know almost all of the seventh generation of Volkswagen's midsize sedan.

Everything grows
According to the British, the Golf VII 4255 mm long, 1799 mm wide and 1452 mm sticks it into the air. With these dimensions is the seventh generation of a solid 56 mm longer than the Golf VI. The width is 13 mm, but the height will actually declined by 28 millimeters. This gives the new Golf a somewhat silhouette resulting in a more dynamic appearance. Interestingly, the wheelbase increases; 59 millimeters has joined and that typically delivers more interior space. Thus, the rear legroom by 15 millimeters are increased. In line with all that extra space also contains the default boot more content, from 350 to 380 liters. And to the loading of messages to simplify the sill with a few centimeters lower.

Back to Golf III
After seven generations of the Volkswagen Golf VII thus become a big man. All he has to competitors in terms of size as the Opel Astra, Alfa Giulietta and sister model, the new Seat Leon, behind. Registration on weight wins Volkswagen in any case, because thanks to extensive use of aluminum and another kind of steel weighs the Golf 7 in the best case only 1,050 kg. That's Golf 3 values!

Even lighter engines contribute to this unprecedented low vehicle weight, while the car in terms of size, sophistication and luxury only grown. Among the available power would include the 1.4 TSI with cylinder deactivation. The other engines will also navigate with fuel efficient and much cleaner, up to 23 percent Auto car has learned.

Equipment
obviously, the (standard) equipment a bit richer than before. Volkswagen tackles include with nicer interior materials and finish higher degree, Adaptive Cruise Control with Emergency Brake Assist up to 30 km / h operation, lane assistance, fatigue detection and traffic sign recognition. A scoop is a new type of braking system whose details are still missing. Furthermore, each Golf VII equipped with a 5.0 inch screen (black / white) with the option for a 5.8-inch color screen. An even bigger 8 inch display behind all the electronic bells and whistles is the top model.

GTI
driving, the new Golf better off by including a new suspension and wider track. For all models, Volkswagen their known electronic XDS differential available as well as adaptive steering and variable driving modes (Eco, Sport, Normal, Individual) and adaptive dampers and a camera system that allows 360 degrees around the car can be watched. It is likely that the new GTI, which in Paris is a taste, a large proportion of these (row) covers all standard amenities.

Visual
with the release of so many details only the visual aspect is still a secret. And that keeps Volkswagen as yet equally. Attached image is therefore only an illustration of how we expect the model will look like. On 4 September (in the evening), we will be there when in Berlin the canvas of the newcomer will be drawn. Put it get in the agenda because shortly thereafter we will of course all the details with you!

type='html'>Suzuki has continued to tinker with the Alto and managed to scrape 4 grams of CO2 emissions. The result is an A-rated and exempt from road tax. The prize was not tampered with, and thus is still under 8 grand.

The Suzuki Alto is becoming more competitive in the segment of super-minis. To account for the days to come, Suzuki has now VVT engine technology, which adds variable valve timing on the 1.0 liter 3-cylinder mounted. As a result, the CO2 emission fell from 103 to 99 g / km. This reduction is the manual Alto at least until 2013 in the 14% addition, keep the tax benefits (no road tax and BPM) retaining the B energy and may be replaced by an A-label.

The New SsangYong Rexton: Presented Moscow Motor Show 2012. With over ten years in the automotive market, the Rexton, the large SUV from the Korean company, adapts to changing times. The result of their evolution has been seen at the Moscow Auto Salon 2012, an event that focuses on the automotive industry until September 9 that closed its doors, setting chosen to submit major changes, both aesthetically, and especially mechanical level, adapting to the trend that had already begun SsangYong with its other models.

With this development, the 'SsangYong Rexton', a large SUV, leaving behind this model was followed from its origin, the Mercedes ML, moving to look at the immediate family, the SsangYong Actyon Sports, which takes both its new engine as some of its aesthetic elements. The aim is to offer a more versatile model, which will not scare potential buyers both for its size and fuel consumption and emissions.

Deep mechanical changes
The Rexton leaves the engine with which he had counted over recent years, a block of 165 hp 2.7 l was his main banner. In its place comes the 2.0 turbo diesel engine of 155 hp and 360 Nm of torque, the same as the SsangYong Actyon Sports assembled, with a variation that achieves a more efficient behavior, especially asphalt surface to which they are intended mostly this such models at least in the European and Japanese market.

Mechanical changes are not confined to the engine only, but will also affect the gearbox, where you can choose between six-speed manual transmission or automatic with a five-speed connection. There are also variations in traction, which maintains the option 4 × 4-Lo, but now adds a front-wheel drive 4 × 2, further reinforcing the possibility of offering a more consistent behavior with urban environments.

Aesthetic Evolution
although mechanical level is where we find the biggest news of the latter SsangYong Rexton, there are aspects that comment about aesthetics and design. Most SUV line leaves rounded forms, to spend even more stylish and dynamic appearance, finished in the back with some lift, all very much in line with the Actyon Sports.

No leaks so the new SsangYong Rexton this trend dominating the SUV segment and SUVs that tries to reduce volume and provide a more versatile and stylish appearance, as has happened in the evolution of the Mitsubishi ASX and the Jeep Compass for example, in the wake of the success of the Range Rover Evoque. A fad that has settled firmly within this segment, one of the few that keeps rising in the times in which we live, so that no manufacturer wants to stop presenting news in it.

Volkswagen Golf VII: The Next Generation begins production in August. The new Volkswagen Golf VII will be presented at the Paris Motor Show, after learning that the final production process will begin this August, which means that the test period, which are these spy photos, is about to finish. And, master a next-generation Golf; you must be a genuine 'last'. The start of production, will take place in the German plants in Wolfsburg and Zwickau, to throw the market for November this year, at best, early 2013. The new model retains the DNA of the Golf, incorporating the latest advanced engineering technology. Discover the Golf VII ...

Since the project began, we knew that the new Volkswagen Golf VII, would be officially unveiled at the upcoming Paris Motor Show 2012, which includes the days from September 29 to October 14, but now the news is another ... The production center Wolfsburg charge of 'life', from August, with production of the new Golf VII.
Production comes from the last generation.
..
The series Golf is a very important model, deviating from its course, because it will be the first generation model after the Golf V, while shares of Series VI assembly, spends much more on the mechanics that the above series V.

In fact, thanks to colleagues at Carscoop, we know that Volkswagen have already begun final preparations before the start of production, which will take place in the German plants in Wolfsburg and Zwickau.

Since early August, will produce the first Volkswagen Golf VII, so it will be found in the German dealers in November, and for other countries, in early 2013.

Interior and exterior design
the new Volkswagen Golf VII will be the second model of the Volkswagen Group, which will be mounted modular MQB platform, we have also discussed this in the past, so the first car to be built from this platform was the new Audi A3, with great results.

However, from the aesthetic point of view, the design of the next Golf will be substantially changed from the current generation. The idea of the Volkswagen designers is to keep the design DNA of Golf and the Volkswagen brand in general, in order not to lose customers with style too risky proposals.

It is essentially the same policy that we find many successful models of other brands. According to these spy shots, the front should be more aggressive, more subtle light clusters. Even in the rear lights, there is no overload of any kind.

Inside, we find all the quality and attention to detail typical of Golf, with a more modern style and a quality in the finishes.

Motorization
the engines of the Volkswagen Golf VII will be very different and all are taken from the great "platform" of the Volkswagen group, which is highly effective and gives some problems.

Diesel engines consist of the usual 1.6 and 2.0 liter TDI with different powers, while gasoline engine is a small but high performance. Tratra engine is 1.2 liter TSI, 1.4 TSI and 2.0-liter TSI generous, but is reserved only for high-performance versions, GTI and R in the first place.

In addition, as mentioned above, the Volkswagen Golf VII will include an electric version, which we look forward to seeing and knowing your numbers approved. New Golf VII discovers the camouflaged prototype.

 The first pre-production versions of the D8 GTO built. This was a test Donkervoort route to the final specifications of the new weapon to trace. And they are now known.

The D8 GTO is the new flagship of Donkervoort, weighs only 700 kg, and is available in two versions: the standard version and the nameless D8 GTO Premium. As a premium, he will quickly from the price list of the Lelystad company disappear because there are indeed only 25 pieces of this special introductory version built and 19 pieces of which are already reserved by customers, so actually sold. The price is 140 thousand net of taxes. Donkervoort started in 2013 with the 'normal' versions of the D8 GTO.

6.1 seconds
After many months at Quattro GmbH, the performance division of Audi and Bosch are housed for thorough testing activities at the Nardò Ring, the Porsche test track, the Donkervoort D8 GTO back in Lelystad. The balance on the actual performance of the D8 GTO proved. And the competitive spirit of the closed Donkervoort is downright breathtaking.

Donkervoort D8 GTO

What about an acceleration from 0 to 200 km / h in just 9.4 seconds, after which Donkervoort our own words in his mouth by saying that "the D8 GTO is one of the fastest sports cars accelerated at the moment belongs. From standstill to 100 km / h takes just 3.3 seconds, figures that correspond to the basic version with 340 hp five-cylinder turbo engine. The 380 hp premium variant is another half a beat faster hundred. And '200 'stands after 8.6 seconds on the clock at the end only at 270 km / h to lose the drag. The normal D8 GTO can be up to 255 km / h.

Farm accidents in the monument, which killed nine people, are still leaving bitter memories for residents, especially families of the victims. Related to that, the car company Volvo to develop new features to an output newest car, the Volvo V40. Pedestrian airbag feature is located on the windshield. So that was reported by Autoblog, Saturday (10/3).


This feature allows you to reduce the risk of more severe impact on victims. And, of course, with a pedestrian airbag is less likely to get hit badly injured.

In addition, the V40 is equipped with pedestrian detection system, so the car can detect pedestrians around the car. More sophisticated, while the driver is not alert to halt, with this system, the car will automatically stop it. In the event of an attack on the pedestrian though, airbags will inflate automatically to protect the head when the victim hit the windshield.

Volvo spokesman said, the feature is a step to create a road safety. Volvo also hopes this new innovation immediately applied in Europe and worldwide.

More and more goods are traded over the internet and Suzuki plays now with the Alto Online. Ordering this special model directly from the importer and from your own office. The choice is limited, though.

Since option lists proportional in length seem to grow with the size of the car, on the supermini often little choice. There are hooks Suzuki in the Suzuki Alto Online. Buyers of this special version need only to worry about the color. A main breaker does not that also be because the palette consists of white, gray and black.

Each Alto Online is equipped with air conditioning, radio-/CD-player, six airbags and a manual gearbox. Cost factor for this pre-populated wish list? For € 9.750, - he stands on the sidewalk, including all the usual ancillary charges (curb to make, badges, etc.), 2 years maintenance and a full tank.

Online
and there is more to the Online-name only a low promotional price. We are talking here about buying a new Suzuki Alto where no dealers to only have to come. Through Suzuki Direct is the online version namely ready-ready via the internet ordering. Importer Nimag just want the color choice and delivery address of the purchaser to know and then ensures that the new Alto ordered within 7 days on the doorstep. It is the buyer even reflection data, because return is possible within two weeks.

The tsunami disaster of last Toyota seems to have made stronger than ever. The Japanese brand winds similarly easy practical family cars to sports cars as a desirable return. Also in the pipeline namely the Auris Wagon. Here we see him.

Toyota (in Europe) a few sluggish years behind it and is currently trying in all possible ways to claw back into the highest echelons. The LFA and GT86 are conceived before, but only as image builders. The real scoops are of course in the mass production of models like the Aygo, Prius, Avensis and Auris. In order to increase profit opportunities appear more body styles based on those models. For example, recently the Prius wagon in the showroom. And the new Auris is not yet introduced such a variant. The wagon is indeed still remained popular with European buyers.

Mid-2013
the appearance of the Auris Wagon, we do not actually have to guess. Recently leaked in Brazil a brochure of the new Auris from. When we put pictures next to these spy shots there are clear similarities can be seen in the grille and headlights. On the back after course, this can be still difficult to guess. It still takes a while before the Auris Wagon imagined, probably in the second half of 2013

Powertrain
The powertrain for the Auris Wagon likely one-on-one will be taken from the hatchback. This would mean that this is the first hybrid in the segment of the compact wagon. The unveiling of the new five-door Auris for the Paris Motor Show on the schedule.

Is the new Renault Clio RS not become what you had hoped? Perhaps the Volkswagen Polo R than for you. In early March next year, he is on the Geneva Motor Show. So says the British Autocar.

The Renault Clio III RS has many enemies, but few of them come close to a genuine driving experience. Most (compact) hot hatches provide above all a good dose of speed coupled with everyone friendly handling. The brand new Clio RS, at least that we expect based on the fact that it does not have an atmospheric block but has a turbocharged engine. Such engine can still mainly torque drive and that's just less exciting than seek the maximum power that is often near the red can be found.

Polo R
Anyway, it could just be that you are the new Clio RS is not like or are not a follower of Renault. Well of irascible Volkswagens? The bad news is that it always has a turbo feature. The good news about the upcoming Polo R is that he probably has a 2.0-liter TFSI unit, ie by more than 200 hp. Holds for the appearance of the R version especially the Polo WRC Street in mind, fat chance that future Polo topper looks like this.

The British Trident, which actually still goes back to 1966, the long awaited Iceni presented. Six years ago he dived for the first time, at various intervals after finally to debut at London show.

For the final product, Trident inspired by Jaguar and sports cars of the now defunct TVR. For the occasion, but she immediately renamed Grand Tourer, though we understand that choice not quite seen the Iceni a two-seat cabrio-coupe. But hey, who cares, the compact sports car is fast. Very fast!

Torque Executioner
The Iceni Grand Tourer pops ie in less than four seconds to '100 'and can reach a top of 320 km / h. And all with an average fuel consumption of just 4.0 l/100 km at an asking price of 75,000 pounds sterling. A utopia, which is accomplished by - yes - a diesel engine in the forecastle. From a truck! The block measuring less than 6.6 liter and runs at a constant speed of 70 mph (about 115 km / h) less than a thousand rows. The standard output is 436 hp at 1,286 Nm of torque. For those who want even faster tire smoke it there is even a version with 669 hp and 1422 Nm.

The Touareg is a lot tougher thanks to the new, tight R-Line. Dropouts, there are also the petrol versions and small diesel had the worst of it. Do not worry, the starting price falls with large steps.

Now the current Touareg over two years on the market, they have at Volkswagen decided the range of their top SUV streamline. This means that the narrower range, but appears to be more attractive. Where an omelette without breaking chips however and in this case it is the gasoline V6 and 204 hp V6 TDI that being sacrificed. And since no substitutes are proposed, only the 245 hp V6 TDI and Hybrid on the Tuareg honor. However, remember that the Hybrid still have the V6 TSI (333 hp) spooned and gasoline adepts there still so much to enjoy.

Drop
Despite the loss of the entry-gasoline (and increasing VAT) Volkswagen knows a substantial price reduction for the Touareg to achieve. Took the SUV formerly at least € 74.290, - (3.6 FSI petrol), the only remaining V6 TDI now gets a price tag of € 69.990, - hung (was € 78.790, -). Compared to the old price of this diesel is a savings of over 11 percent. Choose the Touareg Highline - who now standard on 18-inch alloy peace - then there must be at least € 76.890, - be made.

R-Line
Besides the regular and the Touareg Highline Volkswagen launch now the R-Line. In addition to the Highline means a sports suspension, 20-inch aluminum wheels, multifunctional and heated R-Line steering wheel, aluminum pedals, chrome exhaust pipes, flared wheel arches, R-Line bumpers, R-Line details and a black headliner. Charge plate for this sporty upgrade? The Touareg R-Line in the price list from € 80.790, -.

Hybrid
Finally there is the Touareg Hybrid. Volkswagen combines the 333-hp V6 TSI herein to a hybrid module that weighs only 55 kg. In combination with the automatic eight-speed automatic is even possible to fully electric drive short distances. Concessions you do with the Hybrid not to do, pull weight - usually a stumbling block for electric cars - is exactly the same with his brother-diesel: 3.5 tonnes. The price of the Hybrid was € 900, - planed and is now at € 98.990, -.

 A new Beetle Logic dictates a new Beetle Convertible. And where else but in sunny California Volkswagen presents its new open scion. At the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, the Beetle Convertible his debut.

Last spring, the Beetle and New Beetle again just with this transformation seemed this iconic model a much more rugged rascal be. Especially sporty roofline helped to the hairdresser image on the side scrolling. With the advent of the new Beetle Convertible is this actually a bit reversed. The new line Solitaire has given way to an electric soft top. This can then be driven again - up to 30 km / h - opened and closed. As we know from the Beetle is the soft top to the 'aft' making a supplied cover is needed to protect him from the elements.

Practical
Despite the folding system for the roof, the boot still offers 225 liters and the Beetle Convertible seats four people. The rear seat is also foldable to be able to transport long objects. To protect occupants shoot two roll bars up when the car detects a dangerous situation. The lap counters and extra glove box fit quite naturally into the Beetle tradition.

Beetle Convertible

Powertrain
as expected, the engine range of the Beetle Convertible equal to that of the 'coupe'. This means a range with 1.2 TSI (105 hp), 1.4 (160 hp) or 2.0 (200 hp) liters of diesel heaters for content and the choice of a 1.6 (105 hp) or 2.0 (140 hp) TDI. The 1.2 TSI and 1.6 TDI can be equipped with Blue Motion Technology.

The Volkswagen Beetle Convertible will appear in March 2013 in the showroom, prices follow up to the market introduction.
