Peugeot 2008 and Citroën Crossback: confirmation of the Mitsubishi ASX derivatives

Peugeot 2008
SAP wanted to confirm the information, but it is not surprising since we have seen the drawings submitted showing a modification of the front and rear of the Japanese. The Mitsubishi ASX (or RVR in Asia) will be used as a basis for future compact crossover Peugeot and Citroen.

Named in 2008 probably at Peugeot, Citroen and patronymic is less certain. C3-Crosser, C-Rider, speculation is permitted, but the brand name Crossback remains the most logical. Nevertheless, only the front and tailgate are reworked for inclusion in the respective ranges.

Theophilus Chin gives us his personal interpretation, facing the C3 in the rafters, and loud-mouthed version of Sochaux. The French versions of its output is expected in early 2012, 2 and 4 wheel drive and the volume is' approximately 50,000 vehicles per year

Even in the three theme parks built in displaying powertrain: Safety Park, Power Train Park and the New Energy Park. Also, the Chinese automaker demonstrates the security system of own development. One of them - the famous active safety system - BMBS, which helps the driver lost control of his car in case of sudden puncture or rupture of the wheel. Park transmissions adjacent to the park "New Energy", where the company Geely, following up with the times, shows own the latest developments in the field of electric motors and hybrid technology. Together, these two parks are intended to demonstrate the global trend of development of the Chinese company, which does not stand still, and with the latest developments in the area Motors intends to increase its competitiveness is the world globally.

At the exhibition the company announced its intentions to further the global automotive industry: by 2015 to produce 40 models of cars.

Prototype Volkswagen Golf VII 2013 spotted at Nurburgring

Volkswagen MkVII Golf from an external point of view is still similar to the current generation of this model, which is why the car does not need any disguise.

There is only one question, why develop the next generation Volkswagen Golf, if the new has appeared only in 2009? The answer, perhaps, will read, the current generation Volkswagen Golf is based on the platform Volkswagen PQ35, which has yielded some current models of change, but the next generation of models based on the Buda completely new platform MQB («Modular Querbaukasten»), which will be a little more his predecessor.

Current models of the company VW Group, which already received MQB platform include recently submitted VW Sharan and Seat Alhambra. Also on this new platform will be based and Audi A3 2012.

Beijing 2010: BAIC (Saab) C60 and C71 and swappable batteries

BAIC C71EV


It didn't take long for Beijing Automotive Industries Company (BAIC) to start making use of the old 9-3 and 9-5 tooling it bought from Saab last fall. After grafting on a new nose and taillights, both have been reborn as the C60 and C71.

It's not clear what's propelling the regular versions of these two reworked Saabs, however, there was a second ex-9-5 on display dubbed the C71EV. That version had a battery pack inserted into the floor and featured what BAIC was labeling as a fast battery switch system (ala Better Place).

The sign next to car claims a 90-mile range, but we think that's highly optimistic given the size of the sedan and the comparatively small battery pack. Of course, that's assuming this is actually a functional car.

Beijing 2010: Honda Li Nisn Everus sedan concept

Li Nian Everus Sedan


The Beijing Motor Show is well under way, and Honda is showing off a new concept slated for the Chinese market. Called the Li Nian Everus, the car is the fruit of a partnership between the Japanese automaker and its Chinese partner, Guangqi Honda Automobile. We don't have too many details on the sedan other than the fact that at this point, it's nothing more than a concept.

Judging by the renderings, we're tempted to guess this thing has more than a little Civic DNA swimming around in its blood stream, though it looks like Honda raided the Acura design department for the car's less-than-traditional nose and rear-end.

Speaking of the Civic, it would make some sense if Honda swapped a little sheet metal and called it a day. Honda's compact is sold under the Dongfeng Honda banner, leaving Guangqi Honda Automobile without a comparable model. Our guess is that when the Everus comes to market, it will be slightly more upscale and boast more standard niceties than its sibling.

Beijing 2010: 2011 Audi A8 L W12 stretches onto the stage

2011 Audi A8 L W12


Measuring approximately 17.5 feet long, the 2011 Audi A8 L W12 is certainly quite grandioso. And while the 500-horsepower 12-cylinder engine and new eight-speed automatic transmission are certainly nothing to sneeze at, what's most impressive about the long-wheelbase A8 is the rear seat accommodations. Holy mackerel.

You want gobs of leather, a full-length center console, heated and cooled seats that massage you as well as a folding ottoman for premium comfort? You got it. The A8 L's 122.9-inch wheelbase means there's tons of legroom (duh), and we're seriously eager to get some R&R time in the back of this luxury barge.

Beijing 2010: 2011 Volkswagen Phaeton ups the luxe

2011 Volkswagen Phaeton



As impressive of a vehicle as the seminal Volkswagen Phaeton may have been, the uber-luxe German sedan was an unqualified flop of an experiment here in the United States. In some other parts of the world, though, VW's BMW and Mercedes-Benz (not to mention VW-owned Audi) competitor is still going strong.

Hence, VW has seen fit to give the Phaeton a mild update for the 2011 model year, and it tellingly used the Beijing Motor Show as the platform to reveal its top-shelf sedan. In case you missed the exterior changes, take a closer look at the front and rear fascias, where you'll find tighter lines and new LED lighting.

It's inside the cabin where the Phaeton gets the bulk of its improvements. Included in the refresh is VW's latest navigation technology, along with a helpful seeing-eye camera that can monitor speed limit and no passing signs and inform lazy drivers of the data. There is also a lane-departure system that keeps the car between the proper lines and Dynamic Light Assist that adjusts the headlights to keep from blinding oncoming traffic.

Powertrain options remain the same as before, with a 450-horsepower 6.0-liter W12 engine taking top billing over a 335-hp 4.2-liter V8 and a 3.6-liter V6 that puts out 280 ponies. Finally, those looking to save a few bucks at the pump can opt for a 3.0-liter diesel V6.
