Introducing the 2024 Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV

Image
  If you think electric vehicles are boring, think again. The  2024 Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV  is here to prove you wrong. It’s the first electric SUV to wear the AMG badge, which means it’s not just a luxury vehicle but a performance beast. The  2024 Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV  is based on the  Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV , a premium electric crossover offering comfort, style, and technology. The EQE SUV is part of Mercedes-Benz’s ambitious plan to offer a fully electric or hybrid option for every model by 2025. But the  AMG  version of the  EQE SUV  is something else. It’s a new breed of electric performance that combines the innovation of the EQ class with the power and sportiness of AMG, Mercedes-Benz’s in-house performance division. The  Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV  features two powerful electric motors that deliver up to 677 horsepower and 701 pound-feet of torque. That’s more than enough to propel this electric beast from zero to 60 mph in just...

2024 Mitsubishi Colt is a Clio clone that could win over electric car skeptics

Image
  Mitsubishi is bringing back an iconic nameplate with the  2024 Mitsubishi Colt , a city car that shares its platform and design with the Renault Clio. The Colt is part of Mitsubishi’s strategy to leverage its alliance with Renault and Nissan to offer more competitive products in Europe and other markets. The Colt is not just a rebadged Clio, though. It has some distinctive features that could make it appealing to customers who are curious about electric cars but not ready to commit to them. A hybrid option with a twist The  2024 Mitsubishi Colt  will be available with three powertrain options: a 1.0-liter gasoline engine, a 1.6-liter hybrid system, and a fully electric version. The hybrid system is the most interesting one, as it uses a technology called e-Power that is already popular in Japan. Unlike conventional hybrids that have both an electric motor and a gasoline engine that can power the wheels, e-Power hybrids use the gasoline engine only as a generator to...

Revolutionizing the Roads: The Benefits of Automated Lane-Keeping Systems

Image
  The driving world is constantly evolving, and one of the most exciting new advancements is the development of automated lane-keeping systems . These innovative technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way we drive, making our roads safer, more efficient, and more enjoyable for everyone. According to recent studies, automated lane-keeping systems have been shown to significantly reduce the number of accidents on the road, particularly those caused by human error. By using advanced sensors and computer algorithms, these systems can detect and respond to potential hazards faster and more accurately than human drivers, helping to avoid collisions and keep everyone on the road safe. In addition to their safety benefits, automated lane-keeping systems also have the potential to make our roads more efficient and reduce traffic congestion . By maintaining a consistent speed and distance from other vehicles, these systems can help to minimize the stop-and-go traffic that plag...

Image

Future buyers of the  Ford E-Transit Custom electric van  should expect good things.

The new Audi RS e-tron GT is a true sports car

Image
  The Audi e-tron GT qualifies as a performance electric sports car. There are two versions – the extremely fast one is called the e-tron GT, while the warp-speed version is called the RS e-tron GT. Both are mean-looking and, more objectively, they're low and wide because they've been designed to handle brilliantly. They also have a boot (two boots, actually) and rear seats that are suitable for adults; so they're usable transport, not just toys. Oh, and in case you need a bit more convincing that the Audi e-tron GT is a serious bit of kit, underneath it's basically a Porsche Taycan, which is our current favourite performance car and one of the e-tron GT's chief rivals. The Tesla Model S would be another. The entry-level Audi e-tron GT really is extremely fast. The  Audi e-tron GT  has two electric motors , one driving the front wheels and one for the rears, making it four-wheel drive. That means it gets off the line with no drama in terms of wheelspin, but an all-e...

The Opel Mokka-e is sold out

Image
  In addition to the Corsa-e, Opel has also been offering the compact crossover Opel Mokka-e in an electric version for a few months. The people of Rüsselsheim were hoping for even greater success with the Mokka-e than with their small electric car. And in fact, the interest was so great that the model was initially sold out at the end of 2020. Now orders are apparently being canceled. The Opel Mokka-e has been available for order since last September and delivery is scheduled to start in the first quarter of the new year. Despite high expectations of the model, Opel was surprised by the many orders for the model, reports the Handelsblatt . The demand for the Opel Mocha-e was so great that the production capacities for the entire year 2021 have already been exhausted, according to corporate and dealer circles.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz EQA electric SUV

Image
 Mercedes has embraced an ambitious strategy of electrification and 100% electric models. The EQA is the second electric SUV from Mercedes , after the EQC, and comes to join the EQV minivan. This EQA 250 has a fairly large battery (66.5 kWh capacity), but it seems that consumption is also very high (above 20 kWh / 100 km in all circumstances, and rather around 23 kWh / 100 km). The interior is very similar to a GLA, which is great news, because it means that it is very well finished, with a luxurious look and good ergonomics. The position at the wheel is comfortable, and the front seats are quite spacious, while in the rear the space is a little more tight. In the rear seats the space is a little more tight, but two adults fit perfectly. As for the trunk, it suffers a significant space reduction compared to a front-wheel drive GLA, going from 435 to 340 liters. Regarding regeneration, using the steering wheel paddles it is possible to choose between four different retention le...
