A few days ago, at the World Motor Show in Geneva, the Renault 5 was presented, a car that, by all standards, could reach the magic threshold of 25,000 euros for a useful electric car. However, Renault did not do this, as the base model is not a "useful" electric car in many respects for the stated amount. It is precisely for this reason that a note is being created in which I outline precisely why I believe that we are witnessing the collapse of one of the largest industries on the old continent. And the fault is not electric cars, but the inability to change the culture in European car companies. And, of course, some other factors that are...
At a time when every car brand seems to want to be on the green side of power, SEAT spin-off Cupra is unveiling its first electric sports car, the Born VZ - which means "fast" in Spanish - you'd expect this electric hero to be transcended the boundaries of the known. But when we take a closer look at the specifications, we can't help but feel that the Cupra may have rolled up its sleeves a little too optimistically.
The all-new CUPRA Tavascan has been unveiled, and on paper it displays a stunning design and impressive performance. However, compared to its competitors, does it offer enough power and range to make a lasting great impression? Let's take a closer look at the numbers and see if it's a sheep in wolf's clothing.
I went on a 2,500 km long road trip through Austria, Germany and Luxembourg, of course with an electric car, and I wondered what needs to change so that we perceive electricity differently and how the Germans view sustainable living. Of course, I was completely blown away by the extremely cute cities in Germany.
Three months ago I bought my first electric car and started creating video content. Also because I got a bunch of questions from complete strangers when they spotted me with an electric car. At the same time, I noticed that there are a lot of myths and misconceptions surrounding electric cars. And that these myths are the perfect basis for such sincere, entertaining and at the same time educational videos. Join me for the content video series my first electric car!
The Cupra brand presented a compact, fully electric car called Born. It is designed on the same platform as the Volkswagen ID.3 and is available in three different power electric motors and with three different sized battery packs.
What is a beautifully designed car? Is this the kind of car that ages well and has the potential to become an automotive classic? We reviewed the car market and selected those that stand out for their excellence in design and are, in the opinion of many, the most beautiful or the most beautiful cars of the moment. However, since beauty in the automotive world often depends on the "price" of the car, we have divided the vehicles into price classes. So, beautiful cars even for mere mortals!
After three generations, the most powerful Leon said goodbye to the SEAT logo and appeared under the newly created CUPRA Leon brand. It will be available in a hatchback version and as a station wagon (Sportstourer) and for the first time in history also as a plug-in hybrid.
This year's car show in Frankfurt - IAA 2019 made it clear to everyone that electricity is the "something" that will be written with capital letters in 2020. The hesitation is over and it seems that it has become irresistibly written into the strategies of all car manufacturers. Also due to the emission limitation and fines that manufacturers will have to pay already in 2021 for too "dirty" sales range. Volkswagen thus presented the Volkswagen ID.3, a car that many believe will be the first mass-market electric car and can replace the legendary Golf. Opel is sending the electric Opel Corsa to the market, the Land Rover Defender has become a mild hybrid... and you will only be able to buy the city Smart with an electric drive. 2020 is truly around the corner and it looks absolutely electrified. Let's look at some of the main "people" innovations and cars that you can start thinking about if you are going to buy a car in 2020.
