Jeep is betting on its tradition, and that's why it looks back in history and looks for inspiration for future models in some legendary vehicles from the past. The Jeep Crew Chief 715 Concept draws inspiration from the Wrangler model and from the brand's historic vehicles that were used by the military as multi-purpose vehicles.

Are you looking for a car in which a little bit of every car is hidden? Do you need a great family minivan, work van or SUV?! The Volkswagen Caddy Alltrack offers just this variety, and with off-road style elements, it sets the new generation of Caddy above its competition. It must be admitted that the Caddy is more beautiful from generation to generation!
The Volkswagen T-Cross Breeze is a concept vehicle, which Volkswagen claims is not far from production. It is a nice crossover without the top, which is only slightly larger than the Volkswagen Polo. It seems that not even convertibles can resist the "crossover" trend, which suddenly force themselves into the segment of "city SUVs" or crossovers. Whatever the Volkswagen T-Cross Breeze is... it doesn't really matter. We just love it!
The BMW Vision Next 100 Concept is a visionary concept with which BMW honored the 100th anniversary of the company's existence. Instead of cake and nostalgic shots, they served a vision, an automated hybrid between a sports coupe and a limousine, which happily meets the demands and wishes of the driver.
The Toyota Setsuna is a concept car and an art project. The two-seater convertible mirrors the boat, but not only in shape. Most of the car is made of wood, specifically Japanese cedar (external panels) and birch (frame). It is powered by an electric motor.
Nikola Tesla is probably the most overlooked genius in history, who is only recently gaining the recognition he deserves. He was a brilliant scientist, inventor and engineer who patented around three hundred inventions in his lifetime. The exhibition Nikola Tesla - the man of the future will consist of several thematic sections, which will be accompanied by interesting exhibits. You will find it in the premises of Cankarjev dom, between April 11 and November 6, 2016.
These days, a French beauty - the new Renault Megane - hit Slovenian roads. It appeals to those who don't like the average things in life and demand more from their steel beauty. Thus, the lack of dynamism cannot be blamed on him, as his form stands out from the class average. This also continues in the driving sensations, where the innovative 4CONTROL™ system enables the vehicle to be steered even with the rear wheels.
After two concepts, Toyota presented the production Toyota C-HR in Geneva, its first hybrid crossover that maintains the sharp lines of the concept. It is based on Toyota's new TNGA platform, which is also based on the latest generation of Prius and will also be the basis of most future generations of Toyota vehicles. It is the second production hybrid crossover to debut in Geneva. The second is the Kia Niro, which is its main competitor alongside the Nissan Juke, Mazda CX-3, Honda H-RV, Fiat 500X and Opel Mokko.
Despite the fact that it is the first production car with a single body design and three different environmentally friendly drives (hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric or EV-drive), the Hyundai Ioniq remained relatively unnoticed in Geneva (unjustifiably) compared to the innovations with classic drives. The Ioniq is the harbinger of new times at Hyundai, and it is not just a gauntlet thrown at the Toyota Prius, as it heralds the further development of hybrid and also electric drives of the Korean brand.
In Geneva, Kia showed the Kia Niro model, its first hybrid crossover, an economical, sleek and mouse-quiet gasoline-electric SUV. It is built on the same ecological platform as the Hyundai Ioniq and is indeed Kia's dedicated hybrid. It is a global model that will attract a lot of interest also on the Slovenian market, where it will appear in the third quarter of 2016. It will be manufactured in Korea, and the design was contributed by Kia's design center in California and Namjanga.
Pininfarina brought the H2 Speed racing car concept to Geneva, which, as the name suggests, runs on fuel cells, while the Speed "trailer" betrays its racing character. The designers drew inspiration for the design from the past concept of the Ferrari Sigma racing car and added some futuristic features to it. They were supplied with a pair of electric motors by the GreenGT company, and the H2 Speed squeezes out 503 horses.
