The Ford Focus is one of those cars that should definitely be on the short list of anyone shopping the small family vehicle segment (C segment). Its characteristics, both driving and practically all others, speak in its favor with capital letters. Forget the Golf, Ford offers you a mature Focus.
No, this is not an unsalted joke. A car that leaves behind not octane fumes, but the smell of the sea (well, at least imaginary). Do not pour gasoline or diesel into it, nor salt water directly. Although such technology might be able to stop sea level rise. A bone to gnaw on, scientists?
For car lovers, the first days of March are always exciting, as one of the most important events in the auto industry begins - the Geneva International Motor Show (international motor show). This year's motor show is number 85 in its 110-year history and impresses with presentations of visionary vehicles of the future and new models that will hit the roads in the coming months. We have reviewed some important innovations for you.
You may not have heard of the British boutique brand Arash, but the Arash AF10 will make sure that's not the case anymore. The road monster, a hybrid supercar with as many as five engines (!) and 2080 (!) horsepower will be presented at the Geneva Motor Show and will put other supercars to shame with its "rude" characteristics.
Audi brought two versions of the new generation of the A4 model to the Geneva Motor Show, the Audi S4 and S4 Avant, the sports version in sedan (S4) and station wagon (S4 Avant) versions, which actually sweated in the gym before the show, as they have a V6-turbo engine with 260 kW of power. They will be available to customers in the summer of 2016.
This is the new Seat Ibiza! The Spanish Seat (which is under the patronage of Volkswagen) proudly unveiled it in Barcelona's La Cupula, and the general public will be able to admire it for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The fifth generation Ibiza has an extremely spacious interior (more legroom and headroom), is equipped with an adaptive chassis and offers four driving modes.
The new BMW 5 Series Touring (2017) is coming, a revamped wagon in the 5 Series sedan, which the Germans will introduce to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and will hit the roads in the summer of 2017, initially with four different engines. The new generation is characterized by versatility, greater usability and dynamism.
In addition to the BMW 5 Series Touring and the redesigned 4 Series, BMW will also bring a limited series of i8 plug-in hybrid models to the Geneva Motor Show.

Citroën will bring the Citroën C-aircross SUV concept to the Geneva Motor Show, which, following last year's Citroën Aircross concept, heralds the imminent arrival of a small SUV from this popular French brand. If last year's concept was based on the C4 Cactus model, this set of puckered "lips" is based on the new C3.
Peugeot is expanding its line of family minivans Partner with the electric model Peugeot Partner Tepee Electric. It is based on the redesigned Partner Tepee, but has the same powertrain as the 2012 Partner Electric.
Before the start of the Geneva Motor Show, Land Rover released a photo of its new Range Rover Velar SUV, with which it enters a new car class. At Land Rover, they call it the avant-garde Range Rover, as it represents new dimensions of glamor and elegance.
The new Škoda Rapid (2017) is also coming to Geneva. Recently, Škoda showed the renewed Octavia and Citiga, and now it revealed the renewed Rapid, which got a new liter engine.
