Although Daimler shut down the ultra-prestige brand - Maybach some time ago, it announced shortly after that their flagship sedan will continue the tradition of this brand with a special prestige version. With the help of a 530-horsepower V12 engine, it should hit the roads in a good year. With standard champagne glasses, of course.

Miha has been involved in motoring since he was 24 years old, when he took over the position of motoring editor at the then still emerging newspaper Žurnal. In addition, in the following years, he also wrote about everything related to technology and technologies in development, and as an idea leader he also set up many recognizable projects, such as Varčni Voznik, Karting Zvezd and Žurnalov Avto Leta. He is now continuing his journey as a marketing manager at the Volan show, where he takes care of projects such as Red Steering Wheel, Varno za Volanom and the like. One of the main guidelines in his reporting on everything related to technology has always been: ecology, quality of living, as well as the advantages that advanced technology brings to the average person or user.
After occupying the hybrid throne, Toyota wants to occupy the hydrogen throne. Namely with the futuristically designed and designed mirai model, powered by fuel cells, which is already very close to the serial version and showrooms. It will hit the roads of the EU and beyond the Atlantic in the second half of 2015, prices in the USA from 46,000 euros.
In recent years, smaller SUVs have literally gone "for honey", but despite this, Kia's soul is still considered a true exotic. With the cosmetic renovation, they want to bring one of the first crossovers in the segment closer to a wider target audience, in many respects, as well as set new trends. The latter comes at the expense of the electric drive, which Kia and Soul are the first to offer.
One of the largest motorcycle salons - EICMA in Milan, served this year with many novelties and announcements of motorcycles, which raised the pulse of many visitors and caused drool. Among more than 50 innovations and studies, these 15 attracted the most attention of the motoring public.
At the beginning of next year, Mercedes will put a "shooting brake" station wagon version next to the smaller sedan coupe with the three-pointed star on the nose named CLA. It measures 4.63 meters in length and hides a 495- to 1,354-liter trunk in the back of the station wagon. Sales begin in January with prices slightly above 30,000 euros.
Mazda will reshuffle the cards again in the spring in the segment of small SUVs, into which segment it will enter decisively with the new CX-3. The Mazda2-based model will offer above-average space and equipment, as well as advanced technology, in addition to an extremely varied and dynamic exterior. As for the drive, there will be a choice of two engines and drives.
We have already written many times about various car-over-car jumps, which were timed to the smallest detail, so this is no longer anything special. How about jumping a real straight truck with a trailer that would jump a real F1 race car? But that's a completely different "song", isn't it?!
The eighth generation of the Volkswagen Passat model, or B8 as it is called by this brand, has hit the roads. Despite the very similar dimensions, it offers more space in the cabin, lower weight, more powerful and economical engines and a real sea of assistance systems and advanced technology. Compared to the farewell B7, it is even a bit "cheaper".
Lexus wants more European buyers, which is why they are venturing into ever new segments, this time the medium SUV segment. In this regard, the new NX, which convinces with its pleasing image, sedan comfort, hybrid drive and, last but not least, a favorable price, should mix future competitors such as the X3, Q3, GLK and Evoque.
Reannulat ZOE could make a real small electric revolution here in the next six months, because for around 15 thousand euros it offers electric mobility and a record 210 km range in the segment, and at the same time it is only necessary to pay extra monthly as in the case of buying a mobile phone from mobile operators 79 euros for battery rental.
Four years ago, the A7 marked the beginning of a new numerical nomenclature for Audi and the entry into the segment of prestigious limousine coupés. In Audi's portfolio, it represents two percent of all sold examples, which is not a little, but now it wants to convince even more numerous fifth-generation clientele with a mild cosmetic renovation and many more innovations under the hood.
As part of the "zero efficiency" program, Renault offered buyers three electric models, among which the Twizy stands out the most. It offers a safer alternative to scooters, but it is not cheap. It does offer a cage, a steering wheel with an "airbag" and seat belts, but due to the electric drive, it is also quite expensive. That is why it is and will remain exotic.
