Kia Australia this week launched their most affordable electric SUV in theform of the EV3, mimicking their midsize EV5 and larger EV9 models. TheEV3 in three front wheel drive grades Air, Earth and GT-line, the Air with achoice of standard and long-range batteries, the Earth and GT-Line onlylong range. Priced from $47,600 and ranging to $63,950 the EV3 claimed tooffer a driving range from 436km to 604km depending on model. Kiaconfirming a comprehensive range of active and passive safety technologywhich its Product Planning Manager suggests, may be frustrating to livewith but adding if customers want a five-star ANCAP safety rated vehicle,these elements must be included under regulatory protocols. They can beturned off each time you start the vehicle but they must default on tosatisfy regulations. I’m David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Driving Kia’s Carnival people-mover – the high-grade 2.2-litre turbo diesel 8-speed automatic GT-Line at $73,060 plus on-road costs. A spacious three-row 8-seater, and as a large family carrier nothing comes close. Kia Australia hastweaked the suspension on the latest series, with modified front springs,upgraded shock absorbers and recalibrated power steering, and it makes theCarnival shrink around you, behind the wheel feeling much smaller than it reallyis aided by an excellent 360-degree camera and front, side and rear sensors.148kW of power, 440Nm of torque gives it gutsy low down pulling power althoughas a front driver it can get some torque steer pull through the steering wheelunder heavy acceleration. And it’s a shame in some ways it doesn’t have all-wheel drive. Economy, Kia claims 6.5L/100km which I got close too and with a 72-litre fuel tank the range it offers is impressive. Whether full laden or just with adriver the suspension tune is compliant with great ride on any surface. With threeavailable drive modes a really pleasant vehicle behind the wheel apart from theoverzealous lane keep assist, driver attention monitor and speed sign recognitionwhich is simply over-reactive. Warranty 7-years unlimited km. Servicing $1,519over three years. I’m David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Driving the facelifted 2.2-litre turbo diesel Kia Sorrento GT-line all-wheel-driveSUV today – the best-selling variant – at $72,690 drive-away able to travel nearly1000km on a full tank and I averaged 7.1 L/100 with mainly around town driving.The Sorento a seven-seater but like most large SUV's best as a five-seater withabove average luggage space. Access to the third row in seven seaters alwaysdifficult and the Sorento is no exception. The 2.2-litre turbo diesel has averagepower and torque and drives through an 8-speed dual clutch automatic withmanual shift paddles – importantly. it doesn't sound like a trusty diesel but issmooth, quiet and refined. The Sorrento GT-line's high point is suspension tune –Kia Australia always does its homework with local ride and handling tune and it'sjust so polished whether fully laden with luggage or just with a driver. Thesteering now also further refined, the drive experience overall simply first class.Towing somewhat limited however at a max 2000 kilos braked. It has all the latestdriving assist modes and safety elements apart from the curtain airbags notextending to the third-row seats. It gets a full-size spare wheel while servicingcosts over three years $1308, over five years $2427. I'm David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Programa que se emite en Onda Cero MS todos los viernes a las 19:20 horas. En este episodio de AutoFM nos desplazamos a Cascais para descubrir en profundidad el nuevo Kia EV3, el primer SUV compacto 100% eléctrico de la marca. Kia sigue avanzando en su apuesta por la electrificación, y muestra de ello son los más de 300 pedidos del EV3 en lo que va de noviembre. Con una ambiciosa hoja de ruta, la marca planea tener 15 modelos eléctricos en el mercado para 2026, consolidándose como un referente en movilidad sostenible. El Kia EV3 destaca por: Dos opciones de batería (58,3 kWh y 81,4 kWh) con autonomías de hasta 605 km. Carga ultrarrápida: 424 km en solo 31 minutos. Dimensiones optimizadas (4,3 m de largo, 1,85 m de ancho) que ofrecen uno de los interiores más amplios del segmento y un maletero de 460 litros. Tecnología de última generación: triple pantalla panorámica, inteligencia artificial con ChatGPT, entretenimiento con Netflix y YouTube, y planificador avanzado de rutas eléctricas. Equipamientos avanzados como el i-Pedal, ADAS 2.0, y acabados Air, Earth y GT Line. Además, hablamos de su precio, que arranca en 23.600 € con todos los descuentos aplicados, y de cómo el EV3 aterriza en el segmento C-SUV, el más importante del mercado español, donde los eléctricos están ganando cada vez más terreno (40.000 unidades vendidas entre enero y octubre).

Driving Kia's EV6 GT-line at $87,590, the third-tier model in the four-model rangewhich is now topped by the high-performance EV6 GT flagship at $99,590. Thedual motor GT-line however will satisfy most drivers looking for a performanceEV with a 0 to 100km/hour time of 5.2 seconds. Not bad when you consider it tipsthe scales at 2105 kilos. Yes, its premium priced which has no doubt slowedsales but it's as good as it gets in a family sized electric SUV – offering less rangeat 484km compared to rear drive EV6 models at 528kms but I found the statedrange to be fairly accurate despite a mix of urban and country driving in hotconditions with the air-conditioning on. I've also driven the top spec high-performance EV6 GT – too hard-nosed for me - the GT seats hard andunaccommodating while its non-compliant suspension tune provides a too hardride for comfortable day to day use. However, as i said, the drive experience ofthe Kia EV6 GT-line will impress most new drivers – smooth, quiet with assuredhandling and a very comfortable ride and for me the one to own. An electric carwith great styling and presence and superbly built. I'm David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Driving Kia's EV6 SUV today. The Kia EV6 comes in four models. I drove the EV6GT-line dual motor all-wheel-drive at $87,590 – powered by a 77.4kWh battery theGT-line with two electric motors and weighing 100 kilos heavier to the rear drivemodels provides 239kW and 605Nm of torque. Delivering a driving range of484km which I found most accurate with a mix of urban and country driving.Energy consumption varied and ran from around 15kWh/100km to18.5kWh/100km. Charging, on a standard 7kW home charger around 71/2 hours,on a 350kW fast charger if you can find one not in use around 20 minutes. The KiaEV6 styling a standout, sharp edge styling that gives it a premium feel and in myeyes it's the best-looking EV on the market. Large well shod 20-inch alloy wheelsare tucked right into the body's corners provide a very roomy interior with greatseats. Despite an impressive dash and instrumentation, the interior is somewhatbland in terms of finishes. Premium specified however with all the driving aidsand safety elements and Kia's 7-year/unlimited kilometre warranty. The driveexperience of the Kia EV6 GT-line will impress most drivers. More drive details inmy next segment. I'm David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Driving Kia's large Sorento seven-seat SUV today – the fourth generation in a 10-model range of petrol, diesel and hybrid models, in either front or all-wheel drive– the Sorento a model with a strong reputation and recently upgraded – I drovethe well-equipped and tech advanced 2.2-litre turbo-diesel GT-Line 4WD flagshipnow $3600 dearer and not- inexpensive at $73,000 drive-away. But stacked withLED projector headlights, side parking sensors, quilted Nappa leather, a 360-degree camera, powered front seats with heating and ventilation, a digitalinstrument head-up display, full-size spare and 20-in alloy wheels. All in a roomythree row cabin, the centre second row seat a little tight and its best as a six-seater, with good ventilation to the third row and with great luggage spaceespecially with the third row folded, simply activated by pressing a button. Thegood news in this latest model, wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Plus awide double 12.3 inch screen set – one big screen the usability of which withKia's new media system is first class. Five-star safety, a stack of drive assisttechnology and the assurance of a 7-year warranty plus capped price service of$1,398 for the first three years. Drive details next.

Driving Kia's latest Sorento seven-seat SUV – more specifically the high spec2.2-litre turbo diesel eight speed automatic all-wheel-drive GT-line – around$73,000 on road. Now in an upgraded sharp looking fourth generation model thislatest Sorento is big, bold and extremely well controlled. Ride and handling a Kiaforte due to excellent local tuning and whilst it's no lightweight around town thislarge seven-seat SUV is nimble and shrinks around you – a very comfortable SUVbut one that can mix it in the rough with ease – the diesel engine on the openroad quiet and relaxed – the eight speed dual clutch automatic just so smooth inchanges, the turbo-diesel's high level of torque meaning whilst cruising itsworking at minimal revs and is very quiet displaying good sound insulation to thecabin. Unlike the latest breed of Chinese SUVs the driver assist technologies arewell tuned and not intrusive although the lane keep assist and lane departure canget a little annoying and need further refinement. The Kia Sorento's sensors frontand rear make parking a breeze, the new side parking sensors most welcome.Economy in mostly eco mode I achieved 7.6L/100. Like most SUV's the Sorentohas risen in price by $3,600 but it's a goody. I'm David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En este episodio de AutoFM, exploramos a fondo uno de los vehículos más longevos y exitosos de Kia: el Kia Picanto. Con casi 20 años en el mercado, este modelo ha evolucionado considerablemente en diseño, tecnología y equipamiento, consolidándose como un superventas en muchas regiones del mundo. Historia del Kia Picanto La primera generación del Kia Picanto debutó en 2004, marcando la entrada de muchos clientes a la marca como un escalón de acceso. En 2010, la segunda generación fortaleció esta línea de trabajo, y en 2017, la tercera generación aumentó en equipamiento y acabados deportivos. Hasta la fecha, se han vendido más de 1 millón de unidades en Europa. Desafíos y Objetivos en el Segmento A El Kia Picanto pertenece al segmento A, que ha experimentado una disminución en España, representando solo unas 40,000 unidades, o un 3% de cuota de mercado. Este segmento es vital para el negocio de alquiler de coches, aunque sufrió una caída significativa tras la pandemia, acumulando solo 16,000 unidades este año. A pesar de esto, el Kia Picanto se ha mantenido firme, vendiendo entre 3,000 y 5,000 unidades anuales, con un objetivo de 3,000 unidades para este año. Kia reconoce la importancia de estos vehículos para la movilidad urbana. Lo que Buscan los Clientes Los estudios indican que los clientes de este segmento valoran un motor eficiente, un diseño exterior atractivo y un precio competitivo. Kia ha definido al Picanto como un coche conectado, divertido y con un diseño moderno. Equipamiento de Serie Todos los Kia Picanto vienen equipados con un sistema de navegación de 8 pulgadas, instrumentación digital, tomas USB delanteras y traseras, compatibilidad con Apple CarPlay y Android Auto, y el sistema Kia Connect, asegurando una experiencia altamente conectada. Seguridad y Conducción El Kia Picanto incluye los últimos sistemas de asistencia al conductor (ADAS) de la marca, como asistente de frenada de emergencia, seguimiento de carril, detector de fatiga, asistente de luces en carretera y reconocimiento de señales de tráfico. Además, cuenta con un maletero de 255 litros, uno de los más grandes de su categoría. Opciones de Motor y Diseño Los motores disponibles son: 1.0 DPI de 63 CV 1.2 DPI de 79 CV Ambos motores pueden combinarse con una transmisión manual o automática (robotizada) de 5 marchas. En cuanto a diseño, el Picanto adopta la filosofía de diseño que se ha visto en los diferentes vehículos eléctricos de Kia, con un frontal más moderno, robusto y deportivo, y un nuevo diseño de faros y ópticas. La parrilla y el capó también se han renovado para mejorar la aerodinámica. El acabado GT Line incluye una tira LED que une los faros, proporcionando una imagen moderna y futurista. La parte trasera apuesta por la sencillez y elegancia, con un paragolpes más robusto y, en el GT Line, una tira LED roja que une los grupos ópticos. Los clientes pueden elegir entre hasta 9 colores y llantas de 14 o 16 pulgadas. El interior destaca por su sensación de espacio, con opciones en tela (Concept y Drive) o piel sintética, y acabados Concept, Drive y GT Line. Precios Los precios del Kia Picanto varían entre: Kia Picanto 1.0 Concept: 16,590 euros Kia Picanto 1.2 DPI GT Line automático: 21,500 euros Kia espera que el 80% de las ventas correspondan al motor 1.0, consolidando así su posición en el mercado.

Hemos conocido de manera estática el nuevo restyling del Kia Picanto, uno de los modelos más populares de Kia que ahora llega cargado de tecnología y con un diseño actualizado que recuerda al EV9 de la marca asiática. El Picanto sigue siendo un coche urbano del segmento A, una categoría que ha perdido popularidad debido a la rentabilidad y a las estrictas leyes de emisiones en Europa. Estas leyes benefician a los vehículos más pesados, lo que ha sido un desafío para los coches pequeños. Este renovado Picanto competirá en el segmento contra el Fiat 500 y el Toyota Aygo Cross. Con 3,6 metros de longitud y una batalla de 2,4 metros, se posiciona como uno de los vehículos más interesantes de su categoría. El nuevo diseño frontal se inspira en el EV9, con una parrilla "tiger nose" más radical y deportiva y faros LED. En el interior, encontramos materiales de mejor calidad, dos pantallas y asientos mejorados, creando un ambiente acogedor y espacioso a pesar de sus dimensiones compactas. El Picanto ofrece dos motorizaciones: un motor de 1.0 litros de tres cilindros y otro de 1.2 litros de cuatro cilindros, ambos atmosféricos y cumpliendo con las últimas regulaciones europeas de emisiones. La versión GT-Line se amplía, presentándose como una opción exclusiva y deportiva que otorga una figura esbelta al Picanto renovado. El precio comienza en 16.526 euros para la versión Concept con motor 1.0 DPI de 63 CV. En este episodio, entrevistamos a Emilio Herrera, presidente de Kia Iberia.

The Kia EV9 is an important step in the effort to move electric vehicles from the status symbols of the rich to everyday vehicles for mainstream Americans. And what could be more mainstream American than a three-row SUV? That's the market the Kia EV9 is trying to crack as the first non-luxury battery-electric dedicated three-row SUV to hit the American marketplace. It brings plenty of positives to its effort — expressive exterior design, roomy cabin, advanced driver assistance features, and several configurations. As guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo discovered, the Kia EV9 is also rewarding to drive. The GT-Line version of the EV9 has 379 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. Its 0-to-60 mph acceleration time is under five seconds. For those who like road trips as we do, the EV9 offers up to 300 miles on a charge in the long-range version of the Light trim. Kia says that with the use of ultrafast recharging on high-speed DC chargers, the EV9 can go from 10 to 80 percent state of charge in under 25 minutes. We'll have more information on the 2024 Kia EV9 in the road test segment. Host Jack Nerad details the 2023 Toyota Camry Hybrid Nightshade Edition in his portion of this week's road tests. The Camry Hybrid Nightshade isn't a sports car or even a sports sedan, but, as Nerad found out, it has a lot of fun-to-drive attributes, including good initial acceleration. Add its driving dynamics to a comfortable cabin and 50+ mpg fuel economy, and you have a real bargain. Speaking of real bargains, the Hyundai Kona has made a name for itself as a strong SUV value. Now, there's an all-new version of the vehicle, and this week's special guest will tell us all about it. Ricky Lao is the director of product planning for Hyundai Motor America, and we'll get his behind-the-scenes insight into the 2024 Kona. In the news this week, the United States is heavily divided over many issues, and to that list, we can now add electric cars. Some states are moving forward quickly with the new EV technology, while others are taking the opposite stance. Details on where your state stands on EVs coming up. A world-famous sports car manufacturer is gearing up to become a mainstream brand. We'll tell you which brand that is and how they plan to gain your attention coming up. And an executive for a major global automaker says batteries will have to change drastically before we see widespread electric car adoption. We'll tell you how he thinks they must change in this segment, along with our comments. America on the Road is brought to you by Driving Today.com, Mercury Insurance, YourTestDriver.com, and EMLandsea.com , the publisher of Nerad's latest book, Dance in the Dark, which is available HERE on Amazon.com

La marca coreana Kia nos citó en el Circuito del Jarama para probar el coche más potente de su historia. Estamos hablando del Kia EV6 GT del que te vamos a contar todos sus secretos. En lo que va de año Kia en España llevan 15.324 coches vendidos con una cuota de mercado de 6,8% la segunda mejor marca del mercado. Siguiendo su gran éxito en particulares con 9.939 unidades y una cuota del 10.4% sólo por detrás de Toyota. Mientras en 2014 la marca comenzó con el Kia eSoul a vender coches eléctricos. Ahora cuenta en su gama con tres coches eléctricos. Vende el 61% de sus coches con algún tipo de electrificación. En el mercado total de electrificados tienen una cuota del 9%. El EV6 lo que hace es aportar su nueva estrategia de marca, posicional a Kia como referente en vehículo eléctrico y mostrar la evolución en el diseño para Kia. No olvidemos que el Kia EV6 fue el coche del año en Europa en 2022. La gama EV6 tiene tres acabados Air, GT Line y GT (altas prestaciones). El primer GT que dio imagen de marca y mostró lo que puede hacer Kia fue el Kia Stinger. KIA EV6 GT Han vendido más de 1300 unidades desde octubre de 2021 una cifra mayor de la que se esperaba la marca. Si lo hubieran previsto y hubieran tenido más coches dicen poder haber vendido el doble. Mide 4,68 de largo pero tiene una gran batalla de 2,9 metros. Esta nueva versión GT son 5mm más bajas, 15mm más largas y 10mm más anchas por el diseño de los paragolpes. El frontal tiene una imagen mucho más potente con llantas diferenciales de 21 pulgadas con pinzas de freno en verde neon. Los pasos de rueda en el GT son en el color de la carrocería y tiene diferentes juegos con los cromados y los negros. La parrilla também cambia con una parrilla más moderna y actualizada. Tiene algún cambio también en la firma lumínica y lleva el logo GT para diferenciarse. La gama de colores son negro, rojo, negro, blanco, azul y un plata. Cinco colores. El plata último denominado Mouse es 1000 euros más caro que el resto. El coche abandera su plan estratégico que pasa por colocar a la marca como líder en producto eléctrico y electrificado pero también como marca 100% sostenible. De cara a 2027 llegarán 14 modelos electrificados. Kia también va a trabajar en modelo multifuncionales para reparto de última milla. Específicos para el trabajo. Quieren llevar vendidos 4M de unidades para 2030 donde sólo comercializarán modelos 100% eléctricos. El maletero es de 480 litros igual que el del Kia EV6 convencional. El interior destaca por la calidad de sus materiales y por llevar mucha carga tecnológica. Con dos pantallas en el salpicadero de 12,3 pulgadas una para el cuadro de instrumentos y otra para el multimedia. Lleva una costura en hilo verde neón. Los asientos son tipo baquet pero buscando también el confort. Lleva dos tipos de batería una de 58 kWh de tracción trasera y otra de 77,4 kWh para trasera y total. Esta última es la de la variante GT que le dan 424 km de autonomía y potencia de 585 cv. La potencia llega gracias a dos motores uno en el eje delantero de 160 kW y otro en el eje trasero de 270kW. Lleva suspensión adaptativa con control de balanceo en curva y reduce la inclinación al frenar. Todo gracias a su contra electrónico y dependiendo del modo de conducción elegido. Muy importante para el comportamiento es que incorpora un diferencial electrónico de deslizamiento limitado para mejorar la experiencia de conducción. El GT hace el cero a cien en 3,5 s y tiene una velocidad máxima de 260 km/h. Incorpora recarga ultrarrápida de 800v cargando 100 km en 4,5 minutos!! O en 18 minutos cargar del 10 al 80%. Una de las grande novedades está en el sistema de frenado con discos ventilados delanteros de 380 mm y discos ventilados traseros de 360 mm. Y, además, con las levas del cambio tiene una frenada regenerativa de 150 kW. Lleva 6 niveles de frenada regenerativa y i-pedal. 4 Modos de conducción sport, normal y eco y en el GT a la derecha del volante con el modo GT para la máxima potencia. Puede decirse que tienes un quinto modo llamado My Drive que si dejas presionado el botón GT unos segundos puedes configurar el coche a tu gusto en motor, dirección, suspensión, controles…. En equipamiento va completamente lleno de extras en todos los niveles. El coche parte de los 72.200 euros con un descuento directo de 1200 euros y un descuento de 1573 euros por financiación.

Andrew tried out the KIA EV6 GT Line, for a week when the weather was much nicer than now. You can listen to his thoughts on the car, KIA's approach to electric cars in this instance and if the praise is deserved, in his opinion, that the car has received.
Auto - Rund ums Auto. Fahrberichte, Gespräche und Informationen
Kia hat vor nicht allzu langer Zeit seinen kompakten Shooting Brake ProCeed überarbeitet. Der war zwar schon bisher up to date, aber es kann ja nichts schaden, sich gegenüber der Konkurrenz noch den einen oder anderen Vorteil zu verschaffen! Darum geht es diesmal!Da soll mal einer behaupten, moderne Autos wären langweilig. Erstens ist das immer eine Frage des Blickwinkels und zweitens der nach der Qualität des Designers. Was den Kia ProCeed angeht, kann man guten Gewissens behaupten, dass der Wagen NICHT langweilig ist. Im Gegenteil. Das Outfit!Kreiert wurde der ProCeed im europäischen Kia-Designzentrum in Frankfurt. Renommierte Designpreise wie der iF Award und Red Dot Award belegen, dass der Shooting Brake zurecht als das emotionalste Modell der aktuellen Ceed-Familie gesehen wird. Power und Drive! Wie bei den meisten Autos muss man auch beim Kia ProCeed eine Entscheidung bezüglich der Motorisierung treffen. Das ist nicht allzu problematisch, obwohl … Es stehen zwar „nur“ zwei moderne Turbobenziner zur Verfügung, die aber beide sehr gut sind. Da beide serienmäßig mit einem Sieben-Stufen-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (DCT7) ausgeliefert werden, müssen Sie sich nur überlegen, ob es 150 kW (204 PS) im GT sein müssen oder ob Ihnen 117,5 kW (160 PS) im GT-line ausreichen. Wir haben uns für die letztgenannte Version zum Test entschieden und das war definitiv kein Fehler. Der ProCeed GT-line erreicht nach 8,8 Sekunden Tempo 100 und in der Spitze 210 km/h. Der Durchschnittsverbrauch liegt je nach Ausführung zwischen 5,3 und 5,8 Litern pro 100 Kilometer, die CO2-Emission bei 119 bis 132 bis g/km. Der Sport-Modus der serienmäßigen Fahrmoduswahl „Drive Mode Select“ (Einstellungen: Normal/Sport) sorgt für ein besonders dynamisches Fahrerlebnis: Der Motor spricht direkter an, das Fahrzeug beschleunigt schneller, sowohl aus dem Stand als auch während der Fahrt und durch die reduzierte Lenkunterstützung wird die Lenkung härter und sportlicher. Die Kosten!Ein Wort zu den Preisen. Wer 150 kW (204 PS) pilotieren will, der muss 37.290,00 € anlegen, 117,5 kW (160 PS) gibt es bereits für 33.690,00 €. Zugegebenermaßen gibt es für den höheren Preis nicht nur mehr Leistung unter der Haube, sondern auch bei der Ausstattung. Da lohnt sich auf jeden Fall ein Blick in die Preis- und Ausstattungsliste. SIE müssen dann entscheiden, ob SIE das eine oder Paket wirklich benötigen oder nicht. Für MICH wäre das Komfort-Paket P5 ein Muss. Der elektrisch einstellbare Fahrersitz mit Memory -Funktion. In dem Fall freuen sich zudem auch die Nutzer der äußeren hinteren Sitzplätze über eine Sitzheizung!Alle Fotos: © Kia Deutschland GmbH Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

The all-new Kia EV6 is the first purpose-built electric car from the brand. Sharing its E-GMP platform with Hyundai Inoniq5 (but little else), the EV6 is available with two battery sizes in rear and all-wheel drive. The “Opposites Unite” design language turns heads, the cabin has unique styling featuring recycled materials and in moderate temperatures, it should easily hit it's 309-mile range. Tom Voelk checks out a well equipped GT-Line rear wheel drive and finds it fun to drive and ready to take on Ford Mustang Mach-E, Polestar 2, Volkswagen ID.4, Volvo XC40 and C30 Recharge and Tesla Model Y and 3.

電動車最近真的很熱，今天要介紹的EV6更是2022年式一開始預售，原先300台，之後200台、共500台的配額在短時間內全數售罄！EV6擁有時尚的外型、內裝設計，超大的縱向乘坐空間，動力、傳動部分也區分為標準、增程版、後驅、AWD版本，其中頂規GT-Line銷量更占50%以上！EV6有什麼魅力？來聽豪哥和島叔怎麼說？
During this episode, we review the performance-oriented Kia Stinger sedan; discuss the ways that spent EV batteries are being repurposed as backup stationary power; and review how one company is reimagining the heavy lift capabilities of a drone - without electric batteries.
When it busted out on the scene back in 2018, the Kia Stinger was seen as a game changer for the brand. For 2022, the Stinger continues to evolve and maintain its position as Kia's halo sport sedan. We spend some quality time behind the wheel.

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注今天，我们聊聊比亚迪海豚这款车。在这款车还没上市之前，网上有很多人都表示对这车很感兴趣，包括我在内，之前在上海车展比亚迪展台，我就看到了一款叫EA1的车型，号称是用的“海洋美学”设计理念，基于比亚迪最新的E平台3.0，专为年轻用户打造的精品小型电动车。一会儿我再解释什么是E平台3.0，什么是海洋美学，反正，当时我就肤浅的觉得，这车挺好看的，但是又有点似曾相识，感觉有点像本田飞度，又有点像比亚迪网约车D1，后来，又被网友爆料海豚的尾部造型，与标致208 GT-Line极为相似。只可惜，当时上海车展这款车四周围的玻璃窗都被黑色的窗膜给挡住了，不让看里面。我找了几位台上的工作人员，想咨询这款车的一些细节，都神神秘秘的跟我说无可奉告，所以后来我也没怎么报道这款车。在8月初，比亚迪公布EA1正式命名为海豚，8月底成都车展海豚正式上市，结果价格一公布，网友就炸了锅了，9.39万-12.18万，这么贵？就算是割韭菜，也不能让韭菜喊疼啊。网友普遍认为，定价比心理预期高出了2万多，所以这款车原本有着一个完美的开局，结果一上市就爆款变冷门了。咱们先聊这两个问题：比亚迪海豚的价格真的高吗？比亚迪为何要这么定价？之所以让大家觉得价格高，首先是海豚的入门价9.38万就让很多人不能接受。因为，海豚虽然车身尺寸4米1多，比欧拉白猫、黑猫3米5，3米6要大不少，但还是属于小型车的范畴，你可以比白猫、黑猫贵，但是续航如果差不多的话，贵1-2万可以了吧？结果，入门同样是301km上下，白猫和黑猫卖7万左右，比亚迪海豚卖9.38万，让预算7万的人一下子提高预算到9万多，太难太难。有人可能觉得，那10万多预算的人，应该会考虑这款车啊。其实，超过10万预算买电动车的客户，要么追求个性化，要么追求实用性，两点必须沾一点才能打动他。这个级别里，欧拉好猫就是走个性化路线，广汽埃安Y就是走实用路线，欧拉好猫颜值上更讨好女性消费者，动力还比海豚多50匹，同样10万多预算，海豚真不一定能抢走好猫的客户，而如果看顶配海豚12.18万的客户，那是真信仰了。根据目前市场环境来看，愿意花12万多买小型车的客户凤毛麟角，虽然顶配海豚有6个安全气囊，有智能辅助驾驶系统，可是论空间大小还是续航里程，广汽埃安Y都是吊打海豚的存在。所以，从消费者角度看，甭管比亚迪海豚配置怎样，小车就不应该定这么高的价，因此海豚大概率会成为一款叫好不叫座的车型。从厂家角度看，你别管这车小不小，这起码是海洋系列的首款车型，所以调性一定要定高一点，哪怕今后再降也不是问题。而且，小车的市场份额本来就不大，没必要跟对手硬刚，对手如果想跑量那就给你跑呗，这种低价小车卖多了，反而影响你品牌形象，比亚迪玩了这么多年新能源，这点小九九他肯定是懂的。另外，这两年磷酸铁锂电池缺的厉害，生产线肯定仅着高定价、高利润的车型供应，海豚占不了多少产能。所以，综合来看，比亚迪海豚选择高价上市，厂家除了被骂以外，并没有失去什么，反正也不是为了跑量，只要维护好这部分真正刷卡的客户就行。什么样的客户会去刷卡买海豚呢？我觉得一是对比亚迪E平台3.0足够了解，二是被刀片电池洗脑，三是颜控，一眼看中海豚造型的人。首先说说什么是E平台3.0。简单的讲就是“刀片电池+车身”结合的一套方案，可能这样说还是太笼统，那就举个例子吧。就好比我家的书房，一开始我就放了一张电脑桌、一台电脑还有一个书柜，后来发现东西越来越多，书柜放不下了，而且我经常要录音、要直播，对书房的背景以及声音环境都要优化，于是，我的就开始针对性的改造，移走了书柜、加了货架、换了背景墙、做了隔音、打了灯光……后来，发现功能都可以实现，但是不美观而且不顺手，于是又开始优化，把很多功能集合在了一起，从整个系统上进行全面优化，现在的书房，我用起来可以说是相当顺手。比亚迪E平台1.0，就相当于我书房刚开始的阶段，2.0等于实现了各个模块功能的优化，3.0就开始全系统集成的优化了。当然，光是理解E平台3.0还不够，对于刀片电池也要有充分认识的客户，才会觉得这份钱花的物有所值。比亚迪一直强调自己的刀片电池多么的安全，并且解决了冬季续航衰减严重的问题，实际上，大家都知道比亚迪只是做了电池结构的优化而已，磷酸铁锂本质的优缺点并没有发生变化。但是，还是有很多人相信安全无价，即使能量密度不如三元锂电池，大家还是宁愿相信磷酸铁锂的刀片电池更值得入手，所以，海豚的E平台3.0+刀片电池，肯定会吸引不少了解这两样技术的人出手去买。当然还有第三种人，那就是颜控。在海豚还没上市之前，我就看到很多视频和文章的评论区网友留言，这车太好看了，回头给媳妇买一台，今后我开比亚迪汉，媳妇开比亚迪海豚，类似这样的留言还有很多。海豚这款车，前期关注最多的人群，大概率就是比亚迪的老车主，特别是开着比亚迪插混车型的车主，家里的插混用的挺好，而且车位上就有私人充电桩，平时上下班代步，周末自驾都可以开这台车。同时，给媳妇买台比亚迪纯电，正好把同一个车位的充电桩利用上了，平时在市区代步，成本进一步降低，况且，海豚的颜值也很受女性消费者欢迎，圆润的造型，没有攻击性，很有亲和力。其实，对于比亚迪海豚的争议，远不止这些。比亚迪很早就公布了E平台3.0这个概念，后来又宣布海豚是这个3.0平台下第一款车型，大家理所当然的认为，之前宣传的E平台3.0的所有技术，都能在海豚这款车上看到。比如，全球首创的八合一电动力总成，最大续航能破1000km……海豚的确是用了八合一点动力总成，但是低配续航只有可怜的301km，对消费者来说心里落差太大了；还有全球首创的电驱升压快充技术，说是可以达到800v高压，充电5分钟，续航可达150km，这个技术也与海豚无缘；首创电池直冷直热技术，可将热效率最大提升20%，并降低能量损耗，还不错，热泵空调和这个技术海豚车型上都有。说到底，海豚车型并不是E平台3.0的完整体，这其实很好理解，成本有限啊，一台这么小的车，给你1000km续航外加800v高压充电，那价格还不得上天啊，现在卖10多万，多已经劝退大多数人了。所以，比亚迪就是个工科男，不会宣传自己，这些东西在海豚发布会上都没说清楚，假如你不是真的跟比亚迪一样是个工科男，喜欢死磕技术的话，普通消费者肯定看不懂海豚这款车，凭什么定这个价，感觉这个价格就是作死。可是，就算你看懂了这些技术，你还是有个顾虑，真的这么牛吗？这车低配才95马力，高配也就177马力，性能方面就不指望什么了，续航最多也就405km，E平台3.0吹的这么厉害，续航能跑的比别家更多吗？我在网络上看到过一位车主提车的视频，他提车的时候，小计里程4.3km，续航还有252km，一路开回家，小计里程129.7km，也就是说他开了125.5km的路程，续航还剩104km，换言之续航显示掉了148km，他的表显电耗8.8kWh/100km，算是非常低的电耗了。比亚迪自己的APP里有一个车主电耗排行榜，前几名的平均电耗也就8.5左右。其实这位车主之所以能跑出这么低的能耗，主要是因为他3/4走的都是国道，上高速也都是压在100km/h以下来跑，所以说比亚迪车主都是比较懂行的玩家，这样一来，他平均车速也就6-70km/h，因此能耗表现就非常好。但即使这样，他实际行驶里程125.5km与表显掉了的148km，误差还是在20%左右，一旦这台小电机跑高速拉到120km/h，估计续航缩减还要再厉害一些，误差也会更大一些，所以总体表现也就一般吧，市区代步还凑合，长期中长途行驶，建议就不要考虑了，10多万老老实实买飞度、致炫或者国产的帝豪、逸动之类燃油车最为靠谱。可能有些准备买海豚，但是犹豫不觉得朋友，到这里反而对海豚更感兴趣了，我还是劝大家冷静一下，这款车在我看来，并不是一个定位很清晰的车型。比亚迪可能就是希望在小车市场里打造一款竞品，然后再丰富整个海豚系列，这款产品虽然颜值可以，技术也算先进，但是从整体性价比上来看，真的是非常的低，很多技术层面的东西，并没有完全让消费者立竿见影的受益。也许，比亚迪的粉丝会说，电池与车身结构的集成化、刀片电池的安全性、6个安全气囊、智能驾驶辅助系统……这些都是海豚车型的优势啊。的确，如果要强调海豚车型的卖点，安全性的确是一大看点，但是，以安全著称的沃尔沃都搞不定客户，你觉得在10万级别的小型电动车市场里，客户会把安全作为首要的选购条件吗？我觉得不会，他们的价格敏感度是极高的，别说1-2万的差价，就是1-2千的差价，都可能让他们移情别恋。所以，隔壁的黑猫、白猫看起来又有个性，又有性价比，卖了这么多年，也没见有什么安全隐患；欧拉好猫虽然贵了点，但是与海豚相比，似乎还更个性一点；再用广汽埃安Y来对比，那简直是吊打海豚的存在，无论是空间大小还是续航长短，海豚没有一样能比的了。换言之，只要客户愿意放眼看看周围的竞品，海豚都有可能很快就被平替掉，虽然这款车未来的销量我并不看好，但是，这款车就像一个种子，埋下了比亚迪新能源未来的一个新方向，不仅仅代表着E平台3.0、海洋美学设计的开始，同样也是比亚迪新的线上销售模式的开始。唯一让人尴尬的是，比亚迪海豚的配色，都用的是叠词，什么噗噗粉、飒飒绿、蜜蜜橙、闪闪蓝……今后大家在某红书上，估计经常会看到海豚车型的广告，如果你到今天还不知道OOTD是什么意思，你真的不是海豚车型的标准用户，现在新能源的玩法，真的是越来越潮，今后很有可能买车，看的不再是性能参数，而是调性和玩法。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号： 百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

Auto - Rund ums Auto. Fahrberichte, Gespräche und Informationen
Wenn man den Kia Stonic anschaut weiß man, dass sein Design zurecht mit iF Award und Red Dot Award ausgezeichnet ist. Und es macht den Stonic zu einem der auffälligsten Modelle in der Kia-Palette. Seine typi-sche SUV-Charakteristik wurde im europäischen Kia-Designzentrum in Frankfurt entworfen und sein Fahrwerk auf europäische Fahrgewohnhei-ten abgestimmt.Darum geht es diesmal!Man schrieb das Jahr 2017, als Kia in Berlin den Stonic vorgestellt hat. Am besten hat er den Passanten damals wohl in einem auffälligen Gelb gefallen, das ließen je-denfalls die Reaktionen vermuten. Mittlerweile wurden europaweit 250.000 Exempla-re des Crossovers verkauft, mehr als 24.000 davon in Deutschland. Seitdem hat sich einiges getan! Power und Drive! Bereits zum Modelljahr 2021 hat Kia den Stonic umfassend überarbeitet und dabei auch den Antrieb elektrifiziert. Dem 1.0 T-GDI 120 (88 kW/120 PS), die 120 steht für die PS-Zahl, hat man ein 48-V-Benzin-Mildhybridsystem spendiert. Serienmäßig wird es mit einem „intelligenten Schaltgetriebe“, von Kia, kurz (iMT) kombiniert. iMT steht für intelligent Manual Transmission. Optional ist aber auch ein Sieben-Stufen-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (DCT7) verfügbar! In Bezug auf die Fahrwerte ist es egal, für was Sie sich entscheiden. Die Beschleunigung von 0–100 km/h wird von beiden Varianten in 10,4 Sekunden erledigt, beide sind 185 Kilometer schnell. Lediglich beim Kraftstoffverbrauch ist der Handschalter günstiger. Er konsumiert 4,5 Liter auf 100 Kilometer im NEFZ, die Automatikversion benötigt 0,2 Liter mehr. Für die Emissionswerte bedeutet das ein Verhältnis von 102 zu 107 Gramm CO2 pro Ki-lometer. Die Bequemlichkeit, schalten zu lassen, ist dieser minimale Mehrverbrauch aber wert. Die Kosten!Hier ist natürlich eine Preisrange gegeben, wobei man zwischen dem Handschalter und dem DCT-Getriebe unterscheiden muss. Die günstigste Version des 1.0 T-GDI 120 mit 48-V Mild-Hybrid Bordnetz ist als Edition 7 ab 19.950,00 Euro zu haben. Als Handschalter gibt es zudem die Ausstattungslinien Vision, Spirit, GT-Line und Plati-num Edition. Die Version mit Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (DCT7) startet dagegen erst mit der mittleren, der Spirit Ausstattung, hat deshalb einen Einstiegspreis von 24.800,00 Euro. Unser Testkandidat war die GT-Line für 25.800,00 Euro. Das Top-modell Platinum Edition liegt bei 27.250,00 Euro, ist dafür aber von minimalen Opti-onen abgesehen voll ausgestattet. Etwas drauflegen kann man natürlich für eine Me-talliclackierung, eine Anhängerkupplung oder ein elektrisches Glasschiebedach.

Vous êtes tenté de solliciter l'aide d'un importateur automobile, en raison de la différence de prix sur certains modèles de l'autre côté de la frontière ? La tâche est facilitée grâce aux textes européens, qui prévoient plusieurs dispositions encadrant les achats transfrontaliers. Mais il faut garder à l'esprit que les finitions disponibles pour un même véhicule ou équipements inclus dans ces finitions peuvent varier d'un pays à un autre. Ainsi un 2008 GT Line importé d'Italie ne disposera pas forcément des mêmes options qu'un 2008 GT Line acheté en France. Il est donc prudent de contacter un mandataire automobile qui connaît les ficelles de l'import auto et pourra vous aider à acheter votre véhicule neuf moins cher, sans mauvaises surprises ! 00:00 Introduction 02:05 L'importation automobile en Europe 03:48 Différence de prix entre les voitures de France et d'Europe 04:57 Les équipements auto : quelles différences en France et en Europe ? 06:13 Garantie constructeur, valable dans toute l'Europe 07:27 Taxe sur la valeur ajoutée 08:22 L'essentiel à retenir N'hésitez pas à lire l'article en entier + BONUS :

Benjamin offers a counterpoint to Sami's past drive of the 2022 Acura MDX SUV by asking why anyone would pick this particularly hauler over any other premium crossover. Sami loves the look and feel of the 2021 Kia K5 GT-Line AWD but questions just how well its drivetrain stands up to direct competitors like the Toyota Camry. The pair wrap things up with a look at the new (off-road) Ford Explorer Timberline and the redesigned 2022 Honda Civic.
Den Automag presentéiert sech hei op der Antenn ganz ofwiesslungsräich. Vu kleng bis grouss ass alles dobäi. Modeller fir dee méi klenge Porte Monni bis bei därer déi bal e Lotto Gewënn viraussetzen. Haut gëtt et een aus der Kategorie fir de bescheidene Budget. De KIA Picanto, deen e puer Neierunge mat op de Wee krut. De Christian Schmit hat sech där Saach ugeholl.

Click here: https://share.octopus.energy/free-puma-452 On today’s podcast: Kia EV6 boasts 577 hp, 20 minute charging Chinese tech firm Xiaomi to develop electric vehicles Auto industry urges Biden to back ‘comprehensive’ EV plan Rivian’s amazing new warranty The Lf-Z Concept Shows Just How Far Lexus Has To Go In Evs Tesla and Toyota to revisit old partnership Mercedes-Benz EQS Achieves 4 Mi/kWh With 0.20 Drag Coefficient Formula E unveils electric Mini safety car for select races Show #1037 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 30th March. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. KIA EV6 BOASTS 577 HP, 20 MINUTE CHARGING "The EV6 isn't Kia's first electric car, but it is the first to be built on the Hyundai Group's Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), alongside the new Ioniq 5. The EV6 will be offered with either rear- or all-wheel drive and with the choice of two battery capacities." asys Roadshow: "At the top of the lineup is the performance-oriented EV6 GT, which comes standard with the larger 77.4-kilowatt-hour Long Range battery and dual-motor electric all-wheel drive. Combined thrust is estimated at 577 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque. Mat the accelerator and the EV6 GT will sprint to 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds and onward to a top speed of 162 mph. Exclusive to the EV6 GT is an electronic limited-slip differential that improves traction and handling. Keep the battery above a 35% state of charge and the EV6 should also be able to tow up to 3,527 pounds. The entry-level EV6 and GT-Line come standard with a 58-kWh Standard Range battery, stepping two-wheel-drive power down to 168 hp and AWD to 232 hp. Kia estimates that, at best, a single-motor EV6 with the Long Range battery should cruise for up to 317 miles per charge " "Kia claims that all models, regardless of which battery is optioned, will be capable of charging from 10 to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes when using the 800V ultra-fast charger. And, if the EV6 is specified with the 77.4 kWh battery pack and 2WD, owners will be able to add 100 kilometres of range to the EV in less than four and a half minutes, which Kia says is around the same amount of time it takes to refuel a conventional ICE-powered vehicle." according to WhichCar: "The charging system of the EV6 is also said to move the game on, utilising an Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) that is capable of discharging the car batteries’ power to external devices through a vehicle-to-load (V2L) function. This V2L function can supply up to 3.6 kW to devices such as a TV or air-conditioning unit, effectively acting as a generator. Kia claims that thanks to the EV6’s long wheelbase, which measures 2,900mm, and the flat-floor design that the EV’s architecture allows for, the result is an interior size similar to a medium to large size SUV.

Not only are its cars looking great, it’s also offering after-sales service that sets a new standard for the industry." reports The NExt Web: "Over the past week, sleuths over on Rivian forums spotted updates to the EV startup’s vehicle warranties, and it has well and truly thrown down the gauntlet to all other manufacturers with its five-year, 60,000-mile comprehensive warranty. According to the company’s website, the comprehensive warranty covers, “The cost of all parts and labor necessary for any defective materials are covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.”" https://thenextweb.com/shift/2021/03/30/rivians-amazing-new-warranty-should-be-the-standard-for-all-ev-brands/ THE LF-Z CONCEPT SHOWS JUST HOW FAR LEXUS HAS TO GO IN EVS "Toyota is finally following the rest of its peers into making all-electric vehicles, and that now includes its luxury brand, Lexus. On Tuesday, the Japanese marque revealed the LF-Z Electrified concept car, which is all about charting the company’s course into an electric future." says The Verge: "The company said Tuesday it will introduce 20 new vehicles by 2025 and that just 10 of those will be all-electric, hybrid, or run on hydrogen. The company has played a very conservative hand here at the beginning of what is, by its own admission, a massive transformation in the industry. And while there are certain advantages to that strategy — like not spending dozens of billions of dollars — the LZ-F is a good reminder of some of the disadvantages, too." https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/30/22357789/lexus-lf-z-electrified-concept-car-ev-toyota-electric TESLA AND TOYOTA TO REVISIT OLD PARTNERSHIP "A recent report from an esteemed South Korean publication has suggested that Tesla and Toyota are poised to revisit an old partnership to develop an all-new electric vehicle. The partnership has reportedly been under review since last year." according to Teslarati: " the upcoming partnership between Tesla and Toyota would likely result in the development of a small electric SUV. Toyota is reportedly providing the vehicle platform in the partnership, while Tesla will supply some of the EV’s electronic control platform and software." https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-toyota-ev-partnership-report/ MERCEDES-BENZ EQS ACHIEVES 4 MI/KWH WITH 0.20 DRAG COEFFICIENT "That’s comparable to the 4.5 mi/kWh Lucid promises the Air will achieve. Tesla and EPA state the Model S Long Range can achieve 402 miles with its 100 kWh battery pack. That translates into a 4.02 mi/kWh energy efficiency if you run your car past the 0 percent warning and until it stops, according to Tesla engineers." says InsideEVs: "The EQS beats that: with more than 435 miles of range – probably according to WLTP standards – for its 108 kWh battery pack, it reaches 4.03 mi/kWh. It’s close to what Tesla offers, but it means more than just that in Mercedes-Benz's case." https://insideevs.com/news/497543/mercedes-benz-eqs-4-mi-kwh/ FORMULA E UNVEILS ELECTRIC MINI SAFETY CAR FOR SELECT RACES "Formula E will use a modified all-electric Mini as its safety car this season ahead of its parent company BMW quitting the series.This move for the remainder of the 2021 season comes as Mini owner BMW will exit Formula E at the end of the campaign having “essentially exhausted the opportunities" to develop its technologies within the championship." says Motor1: "The Mini Electric Pacesetter has received styling tweaks, including a rear wing and flared wheel arches, that resemble the third iteration of the internal combustion-engined Mini Cooper JCW GP road car. It is 130kg lighter than the regular Mini Electric but runs the same 182bhp output to accelerate to 62mph in 6.7 seconds, six tenths quicker than the standard car.

Aj keď je možno elektromobil zaujímavý, na dlhé trasy poteší v ponuke aj klasický naftový motor. #Peugeot #2008 #automobilovypodcast
Did you know Subaru built a flat-12 engine for its forgotten Formula 1 racing program in the early 90s? More on that at the end of the episode, because first Benjamin has to shake out his ambivalence at the 2021 Kia K5 GT-Line AWD and its ho-hum drivetrain, and Sami needs to wax ecstatic about the (finally) redesigned 2022 Nissan Frontier mid-size pickup. In between. there's an argument about the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor and just how useful off-road driver assistance features really are.
Let’s get a few things straight, OK? A Kia Stonic is a Kia Rio - only with added roof rails, infinitesimally more luggage space, and 43 millimetres of additional ground clearance. And different hair and makeup. This will cost you $5500 extra, roughly. Save thousands on any new car (Australia-only): https://autoexpert.com.au/contact AutoExpert discount roadside assistance package: https://247roadservices.com.au/autoexpert/ Did you like this report? You can help support the channel, securely via PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=DSL9A3MWEMNBW&source=url We’ve seen this kind of cloning before, with crossovers and cars: Stonic is Rio just like Subaru XV is Impreza hatch. Of course, some manufacturers do this without changing the name - like Toyota with Yaris and Yaris Cross. Either way, beancounters inside carmakers jump at this kind of thing, because the fundamental R&D is already in the can - amortised and paid for - you just jack the car up a bit, you give it marginally different styling, bit of botox if you’re lucky, slap on a new badge - and there’s a brand new SUV, at a fraction of the cost of developing a bespoke one. Like, don’t get me wrong here: Stonic is an awesome styling exercise. It looks great - the proportions are spot on, and the front end in particular came together really well. Especially on GT-Line, which you’re predominately looking at in this review. With cars being the fashion statement they often are in the minds of many, there’s all too frequently a line in the sand with the letters ‘SUV’ on one side. The ‘must have’ side. It’s kinda non-negotiable. So there will be people out there for whom only an SUV will do. This ultimatum will be delivered to you in some way - probably not in the manner of the butler handing you a gilt-edged envelope. For these people (who I would argue can’t see the forest here, for the trees) Stonic will be a contender in the way Rio won’t. Stonic is priced - and equipped - competitively against its peers, such as Mazda’s CX-3 and Big Sister’s Venue. You’ll pay roughly $10,000 more for a fully-loaded CX-3. However, the Mazda’s not a rip-off. CX-3 delivers roughly 50 per cent more power from its 2.0-litre four, and it has AWD and adaptive cruise, for example - both of which the Stonic lacks. If you go dollar-for-dollar with CX-3, you’re looking at a front-drive CX-3 Maxx Sport - and then you’re back to manual seats, non-adaptive cruise control and smaller 16-inch alloys. Stonic GT-Line starts looking pretty sharp against a Maxx Sport CX-3. Hyundai Venue is close to a direct Stonic competitor on price and spec. Like Stonic, Venue is front-drive only, but even here, Venue will give you about 25 per cent better power to weight. So, there’s your boxed set of three diminutive SUVs, if you want to duck out and test drive today, comparatively. CX-3 for polish and performance; Stonic as the price-leader; Venue in the middle. Just make sure you drive variants at the same price-point, otherwise this will skew your perception.

TESLA FINALLY ADDED TO S&P500 "Tesla (TSLA) is officially going to join the S&P500 and it is sending the stock price on a wild ride in after-hour trading. After lining up profits in now 5 quarters in a row and seeing its valuation surge to become one of the world’s most valuable company, Tesla was expected to join the S&P500 earlier this year."writes electrek: "Now the S&P has announced that Tesla will be included in the next reshuffle coming in December. The announcement sent Tesla’s stock (TSLA) on a wild ride in after-hour trading. It went up by as much as 12% – adding over $40 billion in market capitalization" Financial Times wrote: “ Admission to the benchmark, to take effect with the quarterly rebalancing on December 21, comes almost three months after Tesla first qualified to join the S&P 500, potentially adding to demand for its shares from new investors who track the index. V The stock rose earlier this year as investors anticipated its elevation to the index, only to retreat after S&P Dow Jones Indices passed on it over in several index reshuffles.” https://electrek.co/2020/11/16/tesla-tsla-surges-greenlight-sp500/ SEAMLESS CAR CHARGING COMES TO ELECTRIFY AMERICA WITH PLUG&CHARGE "Fast charging your electric vehicle at an Electrify America station just got a lot more seamless—at least for some electric vehicles.

VOLKSWAGEN ELECTRIC DRIVETRAIN PRODUCTION BEGINS IN CHINA "The Volkswagen Group's Chinese components factory in Tianjin has started production of the APP 310 drive units designed for the automakers "MEB" electric vehicle platform, which represents an entirely new way of building cars at Volkswagen. The MEB platform will be the foundation for millions of electric vehicles the automaker plans to produce over the next decade." according to Eric at FutureCar: " The APP 310 electric powertrain will be used in the ID.4 electric SUV and will be produced by two of VW's joint venture partners for vehicles built locally. In Europe, The Volkswagen Group Components facility in Kassel, Germany will produce the APP 310 units for current and future electric VW models for the European and North American markets. Volkswagen said the factories Kassel and Tianjin are working closely together on the industrialization process for the APP 310 to reduce costs and streamline production.

The VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry) is already warning that the move would result in the combustion engine being phased out from 2025." reports electrive: "The German newspaper Bild reported on a study commissioned by the EU Commission. The study is to form the basis for which limits are to be deduced for the new Euro 7 standard. Apparently, the authors of the study came to the conclusion that significantly stricter exhaust emission regulations than those in the currently valid Euro 6 standard were necessary to achieve climate targets." Hildegard Müller, President of the VDA: “With the introduction of the planned EU-7 standard, the EU Commission will de facto ban cars with combustion engines from 2025. The problem is not the combustion engine, but the fuel." https://www.electrive.com/2020/11/16/vda-worried-about-the-euro-7-emissions-standard/ LORDSTOWN MOTORS: ENDURANCE PRODUCTION TO BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER 2021 "Lordstown Motors released today a business update, reaffirming that is on track to begin production of the all-electric Lordstown Endurance pickup in September 2021, "with full production ramping up throughout 2022." says INsideEVS: " The initial plan was to start deliveries in December 2020 (sounds crazy from today's perspective), which was later delayed to: January 2021, Summer 2021, and finally the second half of 2021.

Kia quietly touted a 2500-kilo tow capacity for this vehicle, as early as January, and a lot of people waited a lot of months specifically for that. Unfortunately, the WonderBra effect here proved something of a let-down, and the vehicle lost a complete cup-size, lobbing with a 2000-kilo tow limit, not the anticipated 2500. I hate it when that happens. And many of you - presumably those among you who were waiting for the metaphoric double-Ds to be unleashed - have since reached out to me, somewhat deflated. I am reading some comments that the tow capacity is in fact going to be only 2t. Even the spec sheet on the Kia au website lists tow capacity as 2000kg. Can you confirm what the truth is? It would be a deal breaker for me as I tow a horse float that is just over 2t fully loaded. Thanks. - ptvfr80 Adding fuel to the fire of tow capacity confusion/conspiracy was this, which was mentioned a lot in comments and e-mails: I was interested to see that in Australia the braked towing limit is 2000kg whereas in NZ and the UK the 2.2 diesel is rated at 2500kg. I rang Kia and they couldn't explain it. Maybe it does relate to different tow ball designs in the various countries as the weights otherwise seem to be the same. Shame though. I took the GT-Line for a short test drive and was very impressed. It looks great too. - Mike Langran This of course is quite true - the Sheep-Shaggistani Kia website does list the Kiwi tow capacity at 2.5 tonnes, both in the online specs and the downloadable PDF brochure. I’m no self-appointed Kia apologist. It’s a proper egg-on-face event for them. That disappearing 500 kilos. I’m sure they had meetings about it. I’m further sure they wished they had just shut up about this, at the outset. Because with no pre-emptive commentary, there’s no vector for public disappointment. So I just want to lay out how this happened, and what gives - literally. And then we’ll crunch the numbers on what you can tow with a new Sorento, and how much payload you can carry when it’s at its maximum tow capacity. Up front though, this vehicle still represents a substantial tow capacity upgrade in real terms. And it’s currently up there with equal class leaders in this category. So, it’s hardly a disgrace in those terms. Sorento is not trying to be a Pajero Sport in terms of heavy lifting. The two tonnes carries over, but the towball download on new Sorento has increased from 100 kilos in the old model to 200 kilos on this one. And in practise this makes achieving two tonnes easier, because it can be quite difficult to limit the towball to just five per cent of aggregate trailer mass on some Aussie-spec trailers. (Typically they’re designed for 10 per cent.) Also worth acknowledging: Mazda CX-8 and CX-9 offer 2000 kilos with 150 on the ball - but both of them have a space-saver spare, which is a comprehensive pain for towing. Kluger has a full-sized spare and 2000-kilo max tow capacity, but Toyota doesn’t list towball download in its specs. And Santa Fe has 2000 kilos maximum, full-sized spare, so that’s good, but (out of the box) just 100 kilos on the towball. You can upgrade that to 150 if you fit the Genuine Load Assist Kit (which is a replacement set of rear springs, basically). I did that on my Santa Fe and did a 2000-kilo tow test with it. That worked fine. It towed brilliantly, but again, you need to work hard to tweak the towball download down to achieve not more than 7.5 per cent of ATM.
After driving the 2021 Kia Sorento for a week now, I have a question for you: How do the premium German brands differentiate themselves, into the next decade?

Not perfect, but really good. Certainly far better than the notion you might have in your head when someone says ‘flagship Kia’. If you last looked at Kia in about 2010 (or even earlier) it’s time for you to re-calibrate. In this report I’m going to lay out exactly what I like about the new Sorento - and there is a lot to like about this vehicle. But there are imperfections too, and some things it does poorly - right at the end of this report I’ll address those shortcomings. This review is independent. Everything I say here is my honest personal opinion about the vehicle, and the company selling it. This is the fourth generation Sorento - and all-new platform, updated diesel, all new transmission for the diesel, new interior and exterior, new infotainment OS, etc. The diesel is a 2.2-litre turbo - an evolution of the predecessor. It’s got an aluminium block now, which shaves almost 20 kilos off the bathroom scales, and delivers hybrid-like fuel economy - 6.1 litres per 100km on the official combined cycle test, and 5.3 on the highway. You really should consider the diesel, but if you’re a ‘petrol-only’ kind of dude or dudette, there’s a V6 petrol in the range as well. If you’re an average sort of driver looking for a versatile SUV with five seats and a large cargo bay, or seven seats and modest cargo capacity, then Sorento V6 is a definite starter. The diesel is definitely better - it’s smoother and more composed thanks in part to the all-wheel-drive powertrain, and also because the diesel just makes more mid- and low-rpm power. It’s also a lot more fuel efficient, but more expensive. Sorento diesel AWD is compatible with dirt roads and easy fire trails and driving of that nature - but if you throw properly difficult terrain its way, you’ll probably break something. It’s just not designed for that. All-wheel drive is a real plus for family camping. Like, if it rains overnight and the dirt road you drove in on turns to mush, you stand a far better chance of fronting up for work Monday morning, with AWD. If that’s you, buy the diesel. There are four specification grades. Starting at the bottom is the ‘S’, then the ‘Sport’, ‘Sport+’ and (topping out the range) the GT-Line. And there’s an $18,000 gap between the V6 front drive ‘S’ poverty pack at about $47k drive-away, and the range topping diesel AWD GT-Line at about $65k. So, how do you make sense of that? I’d suggest it’s like this: Bottom of the range is there to appeal to beancounters - specifically the kind of beancounters who buy vehicles by the dozen for corporate fleets. They strip out almost everything they can to get the price low. If you’re buying for yourself, on a tight budget, take one step up because Sport is a lot better than S - and it’s only $3000 more. Sport+ is the smart choice on value - it’s a $4500 step up. You get a proximity key with pushbutton start, power tailgate for juggling the groceries, leather, remote start, heated seats and USBs in the back. GT-Line is the works burger - also diesel only - and it’s going to cost you about $6500 more than Sport+. It’s got everything - premium instrument cluster, blind view monitor, you can park it remotely, you get a 360 camera, and premium sound. This stuff is all nice, but can you live without it in Sport+? Yeah. Absolutely.

Done By 1 Media — Kia's recipe usually contains a heavy dose of value, offering a lot of standard spec for a competitive price. The GT Line version of its Seltos doesn't really stick to that game plan - we find out what the compact SUV has to offer in arguably the most competitive sector on the market.
Show #759 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Saturday 25th April 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. TESLA ROLLS OUT AUTOPILOT NAVIGATION FOR TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS "Tesla has been developing Autopilot navigation for traffic lights and stop signs for quite some time, and now the feature is finally ready for the public. According to Electrek, the automaker has released a Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control feature for its Autopilot technology as part of the 2020.12.6 software update." says Yahoo News: "The update’s release note says the feature, which is still in beta, will give Tesla vehicles the power to recognize traffic lights even when they’re off and to automatically slow down at intersections. Drivers will get notification when the car intends to slow down, and the vehicle will stop at the red line shown on the onscreen driving visual. They’ll then have to push down the gear selector or press the accelerator to confirm that it’s safe to proceed." https://news.yahoo.com/tesla-traffic-light-stop-sign-autopilot-183724262.html TESLA PATENTS A NEW NCA ELECTRODE FOR ITS EV BATTERIES "Tesla has patented a new type of electrode to be used inside of the battery cells that builds in house. The goal of the new battery electrodes is to be longer-lasting and cheaper to produce. The new NCA electrode in the patent is expected to be used in those battery cells." according to TweakTown.com: "Tesla previously patented an electrode using a new generation "single-crystal" NMC 532 cathode and a new advanced electrolyte. The team was able to show over 4000 cycles in battery cells made using the novel cathode. Tesla believes that the battery cells could last for over a million miles when used in electric vehicles." https://www.tweaktown.com/news/72046/tesla-patents-new-nca-electrode-for-its-ev-batteries/index.html TESLA MODEL 3 CONFIGURATION IN CHINA EXPANDS WITH MORE INTERIOR OPTIONS "Tesla China has released the white seating option for its Model 3. Previously, the electric sedan was only available with black seats for Chinese buyers." reports Teslartati: "Tesla officially made its white seating option available on April 23. The upgrade costs ¥8,000, or USD 1,132. The price of the upgrade is roughly the same as what’s priced in the U.S. at $1,000. The interior option is available for all three of the MIC Model 3 configurations: the Rear-Wheel Drive Standard Range+, the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, and the Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Performance." https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-made-in-china-model-3-white-interior-option/ EUROPE BEATS CHINA IN EV SALES, STUDY SHOWS "Europe's five largest automotive markets edged past China in electric vehicle registrations in the first quarter of 2020, as China battled the outbreak of the coronavirus and imposed shutdowns countrywide, according to a study by PwC and its strategy consulting subsidiary Strategy&." according to Automotive News Europe: "Germany, France, the UK Italy and Spain collectively registered 79,300 full-electric vehicles between January and March, narrowly edging past the 77,256 in China, the study found. Unit sales more than doubled in Europe in that period, compared with the first quarter of 2019. In China, sales fell by more than half in the quarter because of the lockdown. Across Europe, Renault's Zoe is by far the best-selling battery-powered vehicle, ahead of the Peugeot 208 EV and Volkswagen eGolf, while Mitsubishi's Outlander PHEV was the best-selling plug-in hybrid" https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/europe-beats-china-ev-sales-study-shows AUDI QUIETLY ADDS E-TRON SPORTBACK TO AUSTRALIA WEBSITE "Audi Australia has quietly added the e-tron Sportback to its website, confirming not only its planned released for the Australian market but also numerous specifications. The addition of the e-tron Sportback to the Audi Australia website confirms the low profile electric vehicle will be (as with the e-tron SUV) offered in two variants, the 50 quattro and 55 quattro." says The Driven: "The 50 quattro will offer a smaller 71kWh battery than its larger 55 quattro stablemate’s 95kWh pack. The 64kWh usable capacity from this pack will give it a driving range of more than 300km according to Audi Australia’s website. The 55 quattro sportback will be offered in two drivetrain options, with up to 446km driving range from its 86kWh usable capacity. " https://thedriven.io/2020/04/24/audi-quietly-adds-e-tron-sportback-to-australia-website/ ELECTRIC SUPERMINI SHOOT-OUT "Battery-powered superminis make sense for daily urban use, and soon we’ll be spoiled for choice. We pit the Mini against the Peugeot e-208 and Renault Zoe" says Autocar: "The Renault’s range is truly impressive, plus it offers decent practicality. Yet it can’t match the other two for quality, refinement or driver appeal. And it feels less expensively engineered than its pair of rivals, which would be fine if it didn’t cost more than them to buy. Less expensive versions of the Zoe make more sense than this GT Line. The Cooper S feels like nothing less than a premium product, and for driving fun it’s head and shoulders above the rest, plus at £24,900 for the entry-level model it’s fractionally the most affordable. Yet it’s hamstrung by that range" https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/features/electric-supermini-shoot-out-mini-electric-vs-two-rivals CASE 580 EV IS A NEW ALL-ELECTRIC BACKHOE LOADER CASE Construction Equipment introduces “Project Zeus” — the 580 EV (Electric Vehicle), the construction industry’s first fully electric backhoe loader. The power and performance of the 580 EV is equivalent to other diesel-powered backhoes in the CASE product line and provides considerably lower daily operating costs while also producing zero emissions — a motivating factor for utility and government contractors incentivized to work with equipment that leverages alternative fuels and lowers emissions. The 580 EV is powered by a 480-volt, 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack that can be charged by any 220-volt/three-phase connection. While applications will vary, each charge will support most common eight-hour workdays. The battery separately powers the drivetrain and hydraulic motors, resulting in hydraulic breakout forces equal to diesel-powered machines and improved performance during simultaneous loader and drivetrain operation. https://www.casece.com/northamerica/en-us/resources/articles/media-case-unveils-project-zeus-580ev-first-fully-electric-backhoe-loader QUESTION OF THE WEEK Do you prefer to buy new or used EV?

Auto - Rund ums Auto. Fahrberichte, Gespräche und Informationen
Er hat ein schnittig-elegantes Profil und eine kraftvolle Straßenpräsenz. Und er ist ein SUV, das in seiner dritten Generation mit renommierten Designpreisen wie dem Red Dot Award und dem iF Award prämiert ist. Das Entwicklungs-Team entschied sich auch bewusst gegen den Trend, SUVs immer kompakter und Limousinen-ähnlicher zu gestalten. Wir sprechen vom Kia Sorento als GT-Line. Darum geht es diesmal!Im Jahre 2002 hat Kia den Sorento auf dem deutschen Markt eingeführt. Seit 2015 ist die dritte Generation bei den Kunden und auch diese wurde im Oktober 2017 nochmals überarbeitet. Neben diversen Neuerungen ist der Sorento jetzt auch in der Sportausführung GT Line erhältlich. Wir stellen genau diese Variante heute näher vor. Power und Drive! In der aktuellen Ausführung des Kia Sorento hat man die Wahl zwischen zwei leistungsstarken Triebwerken. Einem neuen 2,4-Liter-Benzindirekteinspritzer und einem 2,2-Liter-Turbodiesel. Der 2,4 GDI ist mit 138 kW (188 PS) unterwegs, der 2,2-Liter-Turbodiesel leistet 147 kW (200 PS) und hat ein Drehmoment von 441 Nm bei 1.750 bis 2.750 Umdrehungen. Den Sorento 2,2 CRDi gibt es ja nach Ausführung mit einem 6-Gang-Schaltgetriebe oder mit einer 8-Stufen-Automatik. Letztere ist bei der von uns getesteten GT Line serienmäßig an Bord, ebenso der Allradantrieb. In dieser Kombination beschleunigt er in 9,4 Sekunden von 0 auf Tempo 100 und schafft eine Spitze von 205 km/h. Beim Verbrauch sprechen wir von 6,1 Liter Diesel auf 100 Kilometer, das entspricht einer CO2-Emission von 160 Gramm/km. Für Gespannfahrer ist interessant, dass sich der Kia Sorento mit seinem hohen Drehmoment hervorragend als Zugmaschine eignet. Gebremst sind es beim handgeschalteten Sorento 2.500 Kilogramm, bei der Automatikversion 2.000 kg. Die Kosten!Den Kia Sorento gibt es zu Preisen von 35.750,00 € bis 52.950,00 €, ich muss zugestehen, unser aktueller Testkandidat liegt mit 50.450,00 € eher am oben Ende der Skala. Fairerweise muss man aber berücksichtigen, er hat eine Topausstattung – die zweithöchste der Baureihe – dazu die 8-Stufen-Automatik und den Allradantrieb. Das relativiert den Preisunterschied zum Einstiegsmodell schon mal erheblich. Und die Ausstattung der GT Line lässt so gut wie keine Wünsche offen. Worüber man sicherlich – je nach Anzahl der regelmäßigen Mitfahrer – nachdenken kann ist die dritte Sitzreihe mit 2 einzeln umklappbaren Sitzen für 900 €. Die 110 € teure hochwertige Zusatzkonservierung für Motorraum und Fahrzeugunterboden Kia Protection Plus6 ist sicher interessant für Leute, die tatsächlich oft abseits befestigter Straßen unterwegs sind.Alle Fotos: © Kia Motors Deutschland GmbH Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:
Andrew had a Peugeot RIFTER GT Line for a week. You can listen in as he explains to Alan how he and the family got on with another van-derived car. There is a moment when Andrew actually makes the case for the defence, as to why no curry-hook is available. You can also scoff as Andrew fumbles through the pronunciations of the fabulously named accessories available. If you can think of a more space-efficient vehicle for hauling a lot of people and/or stuff then do get in touch with the chaps, as they can’t think of a better way to do it.
Show #644 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Sunday 17th November 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. 12 REASONS THE MUSTANG WILL BE SUCCESSFUL The Name Advertised by Ford Dealers Sold by dealers close to you The car isn't ugly It's not slow Models with 300 miles Fast charging on a 150kW charger FordPass Charging Network The car is affordable Interior is modern It's NOT a Tesla Ford will make a lot of them https://cleantechnica.com/2019/11/16/12-reasons-why-the-ford-mustang-mach-e-will-be-a-huge-hit/ UK RESERVATIONS OPEN FOR ALL-NEW PEUGEOT E-2008 SUV Buyers will be able to reserve the all-new e-2008 SUV in GT Line trim, costing from £32,000 including Government’s £3,500 Plug-in Car Grant. The e-2008 SUV will also be available later in Active, Allure and GT trim levels. GT Line and GT trims feature full LED headlights with smartbeam assist, LED rear lights with PEUGEOT’s ‘three-claw’ signature graphic, as well as an interior with Adamite green colour stitching, mood lighting, dynamic seats and aluminum pedals. Fleet and company car drivers benefit from low company car tax rates. The zero-emission, all-new e-2008 SUV will be exempt from paying Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax from April 2020 onwards. The PEUGEOT e-2008 SUV is powered by a 100kW (136bhp) electric motor with a 50kWh battery. Under WLTP testing, the 100% electric, zero exhaust emissions, SUV provides 193 miles of range. DRIIVZ AND ENNET TO BRING SMART EV CHARGING SERVICES TO JAPAN Currently, EVs only account for 0.5% of all new cars sold in Japan. However, several Japanese automakers are preparing to launch electric models in the next couple of years which is expected to increase the adoption of EVs in the country. By integrating elements of Driivz’s EV charging management platform into its smart charging service, Ennet will be able to analyse the power usage patterns of its customers, identify when energy grids receive the least demand for charging and make sure fleets are sufficiently charged for use the following day. Functionality to remotely start and stop charging will also be enabled. LYFT IS INTRODUCING A FLEET OF 200 ELECTRIC KIAS IN COLORADO "Coloradans will be able to catch a ride in a sleek, new $40,000 electric Kia Niro as soon as December even though the vehicles aren’t available for sale in the state." says Colorado Sun: "That’s because Lyft is making a fleet of 200 of the long-range electric crossovers available for lease to its Colorado drivers. The ride-sharing company on Thursday rolled out the plan — its first attempt in the U.S. to make an electric-vehicle fleet available to its drivers — thanks to a law change earlier this year.Legislators opened up Colorado’s electric-vehicle tax credit program to rental companies and businesses with fleets in an attempt to attract a company like Lyft to put a mass of EVs on the roads. Lyft, which lobbied for the change, hopes laws will change in other states, too. " https://coloradosun.com/2019/11/14/kia-niro-lyft-colorado-fleet/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS Damon Ireland Our key reason for owning an EV is not being beholden to the fuel companies to run our car. Here in New Zealand we are paying $2.20 for a litre of 91 octane petrol which which tends to jump up quickly whenever any overseas events affects the value of crude oil or our dollar. In contrast our electricity price has not changed in over 3 years Doug Vowles, Canada Hey Martyn – First off – last week my wife and I ordered our first electric car, the Tesla Model 3 SR+. Hoping to get it before the end of the year. Thank you for being part of the process in getting to that decision! QOW answer: ZERO EMISSIONS. I currently would not look at any car that wasn’t zero emissions. There are other requirements beyond that (like range) but much of it (0 – 60…) is just gravy. Don Miller I never run late for an appointment because I had to stop and get gas. (We charge each night so we leave home with 200 miles of range) Phil Kemp I'd vote instant torque as the biggest advantage. It's not only convenient but can be a life saver in a tight situation. James Penfold from EV Launchpad Martin, answer to question of the week: stomping on the “gas” pedal never gets old when you are running on guilt free, inexpensive renewable energy! Thanks for the awesome podcast. James Penfold Boston USA. Dafydd Cheung Genuinely, I’m more interested in EVs, because on the whole, they are less destructive to the only planet we have. May the sun shine on your panels. Adam DeVries I bought my car because it was electric. I hated going to gas stations. someone just asked me if I liked my car because it was electric or because it had autopilot. I can't decide if I would rather drive a car that was electric or one that had autopilot. I think I prefer the convenience of the electric vehicle getting to charge at home and work always having a full tank but it is a hard decision. ARON MCINNES Being able to plug in my garage and go every morning without worrying about filling up. I drive an average of 4500km a month, I fuel up a lot and the savings would be nice too. DAVE DEWSON from EVSMILES Number one thing with an EV.... way more smiles per mile! CORTEEN QOTW, my favourite feature is getting into a de-iced and pre warmed car in the winter, can’t beat driving past all your neighbours who are outside in the cold scraping their cars! MARTY YOUNG My "one thing" would be the acceleration. I'm a pilot, and I love when I push the throttle forward and feel the acceleration press me back into my seat and the speed increases until the wheels leave the ground! I get a similar feeling (minus the wheels leaving the ground!) in my 2016 Volt. SERVULUS BILLY You ask what's the one upside to driving an EV.... I give you the experience itself. ..... the stares on admiration, the thumbs up of approvals, the many questions of FUD I was able to defunct, the minds and thought processes I was able to change or at least open their eye and minds to something new, the comradery of the brand and last but not least the driving experience itself for which there was no comparison Øyvind Bjørkelund Best thing with my EV must be better fuel economy! TOM RAFTERY The one thing I love about driving my EV is that I am living in the future! I have a 5kW solar array on my roof which I use to charge the car – the lack of emissions, the zippiness of the car, the quiet ride all contribute to my awesome feeling of future living QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week… "If you were marketing a for an new EV brand (or Tesla) how would you do it?” I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 251 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.

If you’re thinking about buying a Kia Seltos - here’s everything you need to know. You can help support the podcast, securely via PayPal: As usual, Kia conscripted its on-call dynamics wizard to do his mad, Jedi voodoo and turn the conventional vomit-spec South Korean suspension into what is actually an outstanding platform to drive on our preposterously crap ‘Strayan roads. The drive program on the launch was on mainly these B and C roads around Noosa, and I’d have to say the body control and steering feedback is excellent. So, big tick there. There was probably 90 minutes of freeway driving as well - it’s quiet and composes at 110. Interestingly enough - this vehicle has a next-generation motor driven power steering assistance system. That means an electrical servo motor provides the steering assistance. It detects input from you, and a computer tells it how much to help. That’s when you’re turning in. But when you’re on the way out of a bend, MDPS typically defaults to ‘off’ and the self-centring steering effect you feel (If any) is just mechanical control feedback. But in this system, the motor also provides self-centring feedback assistance. It’s really excellent. Here’s the range. You get S, Sport, Sport+ and GT-Line in order of increasing appeal and price. 2.0-litre CVT only on S and Sport. 1.6 Turbo only on GT-Line. But you can have either engine in Sport+. So the fuel economy powertrain is available in the first three variants. The performance powertrain on the top two. They overlap at Sport+. Here’s how you tell the four variants apart like an automotive ninja. (This is gunna help at the dealership when they jam one under your snout for a test drive - if you know this, you cannot be bullshat to about which one you’re driving. And before you say it in the comments: ‘bullshat’ is the past participle of the verb ‘to bullshit’.) The poverty S model rolls on steel wheels. That’s dead easy to spot. If you’re looking at a Seltos with alloy wheels and a folding key, it’s a Sport. If it’s got 17-inch alloys and a pushbutton start it’s Sport+ and if it’s got 18-inch alloys (with a bright red highlight around the hub) and a head-up display, it’s a GT-Line. There’s more safety gear on Sport+ and GT-Line, but you can get that on S and Sport for $1000 as an option. So, I’m not going to bore you with the spec sheet - but the salient observations arising from the spec sheet are: S is a real poverty pack. Anything that can be removed to cut costs basically has been, and this is done primarily to appease the great cheapskates of the automotive universe: Fleet managers. It’s a big step - $3500 - to go from S to Sport, but it’s well worth it for a private owner. You get alloys, a full-sized spare, the big centre infotainment screen, SUNA live traffic and 10 years of free mapcare updates (and, I’m assured, there are no strings attached to that - you just get the updates when they’re available). Sport+ is the pick of the range - because you get adaptive cruise and the better safety gear standard. Plus front parking sensors, nicer interior, proximity key. And it’s $5500 cheaper than GT-Line, which is loaded with all the nice toys, certainly, but do you really need all that stuff? Probably not. I’d strongly suggest you buy the 1.6 turbo if sporty engaging driving matters to you. The CVT that goes with the 2.0-litre is a little bit frustrating for enthusiastic driving. It displays this noticeable re-engagement lag, getting on the gas when you clip an apex and want to start feeding the power on smoothly.

The all-new e-208 uses a 50kWh battery and 136hp electric motor to provide a 211 mile range from a full charge under WLTP testing. http://www.peugeotpress.co.uk/releases/1760 NEW VAUXHALL CORSA-E TO RACE IN E-RALLY CUP "Vauxhall has plans to take its new Corsa-e e-rallying, in the freshly created e-Rally series co-organised with the ADAC, in 2020. Called the ADAC e-Rally Cup, the series replaces the ADAC Opel Rallye Cup collaboration that helped introduce fresh talent to rallying." reports evo.co.uk: "The Corsa-e Rally car itself shares an identical powertrain to that of the road-going hatchback, featuring a 136bhp synchronous electric motor mounted where the traditional internal combustion engine would normally sit under the front bonnet. The 50kWh battery pack is also carried over, which should help the e-Corsa complete more than a couple of special stages without needing a top-up." https://www.evo.co.uk/vauxhall/corsa/201649/new-vauxhall-corsa-e-to-race-in-e-rally-cup FIRST LEXUS EV COULD BE A HATCH, CONCEPT BOUND FOR 2019 TOKYO MOTOR SHOW Toyota is committed to launching at least 10 battery-electric cars by 2025, with the first expected to arrive in 2020. Some of these will come from Toyota's upmarket brand, Lexus, which may give us a preview of what's to come during October's Tokyo Motor Show. Citing comments made by Koji Sato, Lexus' chief engineer, Autocar reported Thursday that Lexus will present an EV concept at its home show that may just preview an upcoming production model." reports Motor Authority: "It's possible the concept will be an evolution of 2015's LF-SA minicar concept, a vehicle that fits the description above. And though the LF-SA concept hasn't been confirmed for production, Lexus is rumored to be looking at adding a model smaller than the UX subcompact SUV." https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1124681_first-lexus-ev-could-be-a-hatch-concept-bound-for-2019-tokyo-motor-show 2020 CHEVROLET BOLT EV GETS MORE RANGE "The 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV is now rated with a 259 miles (417 km) EPA range and surpasses its most direct alternatives. The alternative that almost matches its range is the 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric with 258 miles range, which is just 1 mile less." says Pedro for PushEVs: "The 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV and previous model years had an EPA range of 238 miles (367 km), so this latest upgrade in battery capacity represents a 9 percent range increase.the Chevrolet Bolt EV still doesn’t have ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control). This electric car and the new Renault ZOE are probably the only mass production electric cars with decent range that still don’t have this important safety feature for less stressful driving." https://pushevs.com/2019/08/22/2020-chevrolet-bolt-ev-gets-more-range/ SINGAPORE FORGOES TESLA'S ELECTRIC 'LIFESTYLE' FOR BUSES "Singapore is in no rush to adopt a certain brand of electric car. In an interview with Bloomberg published today, a government minister offered a rebuttal to Tesla founder Elon Musk's criticism that the city-state is "unwelcome" to electric cars. Investing in mass transit -- rather than Tesla Superchargers -- is how the nation of slightly less than 6 million inhabitants wants to tackle climate change" writes Engadget today. Singapore has embraced electric public buses and is working on developing a system of self-driving, electric taxis. It certainly hasn't ruled out electric cars completely. Last October, British company Dyson Ltd announced that Singapore would be the manufacturing base for its first electric car." https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/22/singapore-forgoes-teslas-electric-lifestyle-for-buses/ STUDY LINKS SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE TO PM POLLUTION TO RISK OF PREMATURE DEATH "A major new international study shows independent associations between short-term exposure to PM10 and PM2.5 and daily all-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality in more than 600 cities across the globe." says Green Car Congress: "The study, led by Dr. Haidong Kan from Fudan University in China, analyzed data on air pollution and mortality in 652 cities across 24 countries and regions, and found increases in total deaths are linked to exposure to inhalable particles (PM10) and fine particles (PM2.5)" An article from the Telegraph in 2015 talked about the history of PM being in the news: "Particulates – tiny sooty particles in the air – were the first of the pollutants to be identified as toxic, 22 years ago, in a big Harvard study. The seminal 1993 research, dubbed “the six cities study” compared mortality rates in half a dozen representative US urban areas, following the fates of 8,111 adults for at least 14 years." https://www.greencarcongress.com/2019/08/20190822-nejm.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/car-manufacturers/volkswagen/11899676/The-statistics-about-diesel-are-crystal-clear.-Its-deadly.html AUDI E-TRON NAVIGATION SYSTEM PROVIDES DETAILED PETROL INFORMATION "The e-tron’s navigation system was recently observed to have a very interesting, and notably humorous feature: it gives drivers useful information about nearby petrol stations and current gas prices." says Simon at Teslarati: "As noted by drivers who shared images of the e-tron’s navigation in action, the all-electric SUV’s infotainment screen displays information about petrol stations on a selected route. The information is quite detailed too, as it includes the current price of petrol in selected locations." https://www.teslarati.com/audi-e-tron-navigation-gas-stations-diesel-prices/ COMMUNITY The MYEV.com Question Of The Week. Submitted by Brian C: "Petrol users pay by quantity. EV drivers should ALSO pay by quantity. All charging companies be required by law to charge per kWh – do you agree?"

The third generation Kia Soul is still a square deal and remains instantly recognizable as a Soul. But Kia did more than just fire the hamsters for the all-new version. Tom Voelk travels to San Diego, CA to drive the rugged looking X-Line and sporty GT-Line equipped with the optional turbocharged engine. Kia added refinement but took away the panoramic roof. Just so you know…
Auto - Rund ums Auto. Fahrberichte, Gespräche und Informationen
Also das SUV Sorento im Jahr 2002 seine Markteinführung erlebte, war Kia bei uns in Deutschland noch wenig bekannt. Das hat sich mittlerweile gewaltig geändert. Daran hat der Sorento einen großen Anteil. 2015 hat Kia die dritte Generation seines SUV-Flaggschiffs gestartet, die aktuelle Ausführung hatte ihre Markteinführung im Oktober 2017. Wir stellen den aktuellen Sorento mal näher vor. Darum geht es diesmal!Der Wagen, über den wir uns heute unterhalten werden, wird in Südkorea hergestellt. Beim Namen Sorento dachte ich kurioserweise direkt, dass mich das an Italien erinnert und was entdecke ich bei Wikipedia? Der Name bezieht sich in der Tat auf die süditalienische Stadt Sorrent. Wie dem auch sei, wir sprechen über das mit renommierten Designpreisen wie dem Red Dot Award und iF Award ausgezeichnete SUV-Flaggschiff der Marke Kia. Power und Drive! 147 kW (200 PS) leistet der 2,2-Liter-Turbodiesel des Sorento. Damit beschleunigt er das Fahrzeug in der Version mit Dynamax™-Allradsystem und Achtstufen-Automatik in 9,4 Sekunden auf Tempo 100. Alle Sorento-Versionen mit 2.2 CRDi Motors sind unabhängig von Antriebsart und Getriebe 205 km/h schnell. Serienmäßig haben alleAutomatikmodelle die Fahrmodus-Wahl „Drive Mode Select“, die ab Modelljahr 2018 neben „Eco“, „Komfort“ und „Sport“ die neue Einstellung „Smart“ beinhaltet. Dabei merkt sich das Fahrzeug die Gewohnheiten des Fahrers. Werfen wir noch einen Blick auf das Konsumverhalten des Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi als AWD mit Achtstufen-Automatik. Hier sprechen wir dann von 6,1 bis 6,2 Litern Diesel im kombinierten Verbrauch, was CO2 Emissionen von 160 – 163 g/km entspricht. Die Innenausstattung!Beim Sorento kann man unter fünf Ausführungen wählen. Edition 7, Vision, Spirit, GT Line und Platinum Edition. Schon die Basisversion verfügt unter anderem über Klimaanlage, Sitzheizung vorn und hinten (äußere Sitze), ein beheizbares Lederlenkrad, ein Audiosystem mit 7-Zoll-Touchscreen Rückfahrkamera, Geschwindigkeitsregelanlage, Parksensoren hinten, elektrisch anklappbare Außenspiegel und 17-Zoll-Leichtmetallfelgen. Die Kosten!Der Einstieg ins Sorento-Fahren beginnt bei 35.750,00 Euro mit dem frontgetriebenen 2.2 CRDi mit SCR und Sechs-Gang-Schaltgetriebe in der Ausstattungslinie Edition 7. Für unseren Testkandidaten, den Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi AWD mit Achtstufen-Automatik und der höchsten Ausstattungsstufe Platinum sind dann 52.950,00 Euro fällig. Damit hat man dann aber auch ein Fahrzeug, dem rundherum nichts mehr fehlt! Alle Fotos: © Kia Motors Deutschland GmbH Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:
Themen heute: Feste Größe bei den Kleinwagen: 100.000 Kia Rio verkauft /// Atradius-Prognose: Deutlich höheres Insolvenzrisiko bei ungeregeltem Brexit 1.Absatzjubiläum bei Kia: Der koreanische Hersteller hat in Deutschland den 100.000sten Rio verkauft. Das im Jahr 2000 eingeführte Modell ist heute eine feste Größe im deutschen Kleinwagenmarkt und wird seit 2017 in vierter Generation angeboten. Das 4,07 Meter lange Modell mit dynamischem, mehrfach preisgekröntem Design (Red Dot Award, iF Award) ist seit März dieses Jahres auch in der betont sportlichen Ausführung GT Line erhältlich, die von einem modernen 1,0-Liter-Turbobenziner mit 74 oder 88 kW (100 oder 120 PS) angetrieben wird. Insgesamt stehen vier Motorisierungen zur Wahl, die alle der neuesten Abgasnorm Euro 6d-Temp entsprechen und je nach Triebwerk auch mit einem Sieben-Stufen-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (DCT7) oder einer Sechs-Stufen-Automatik kombiniert werden können. Die Hälfte der 100.000 Einheiten verkaufte Kia von 2012 bis heute – denn der Durchbruch im deutschen Markt gelang dem Rio mit der Ende 2011 eingeführten dritten Generation. Sie trug erstmals die Handschrift von Kia-Chefdesigner Peter Schreyer und wurde prompt mit einem Red Dot Award prämiert. Das aktuelle Modell knüpfte im vergangenen Jahr nahtlos an den Erfolg des Vorgängers an und belegte mit 8.124 Neuzulassungen Rang vier in der Bestsellerliste von Kia Motors Deutschland hinter dem Kompakt-SUV Sportage, der Kompaktwagenfamilie Ceed und dem Kleinwagen Picanto. Im europa- und weltweiten Kia-Absatz lag der Rio 2017 sogar auf Platz zwei hinter dem Sportage. 2. Atradius sieht kurzfristig stark steigende Insolvenzrisiken bei britischen Abnehmern, sollte es zu einem ungeregelten Austritt Großbritanniens aus der Europäischen Union kommen. Darauf weist der internationale Kreditversicherer in einer aktuellen Analyse hin. Demnach würde es bei einem so genannten "No-Deal Brexit" rund 2.300 mehr Firmenpleiten in Großbritannien im Jahr 2020 geben als bei einem geregelten Ausscheiden aus der Staatengemeinschaft. Bereits in diesem Jahr rechnet der Kreditversicherer mit insgesamt 15.800 Insolvenzen in Großbritannien - ein Anstieg von 4 % gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Auch das Forderungsrisiko in anderen Ländern würde bei einem "harten Brexit"-Szenario steigen. Laut der Risikoexperten wären besonders Irland, Belgien, Dänemark und die Niederlande betroffen. Sollte Großbritannien ohne Handelsabkommen aus der Europäischen Union austreten, würde das die gesamte Volkswirtschaft des Vereinigten Königreichs signifikant beeinträchtigen.

Join Mandy Turner, Paul Maric, and Scott Collie this week. In car news, the 2019 Porsche 911 and Mazda 3 has been revealed, Hyundai Ioniq pricing and specs have been announced, and GM has announced its closing factories and culling models. Trent Nikolic reviews the 2019 Kia Rio GT-Line. We speak to Harald Murphy who drove his Tesla Model X around Australia in 19 days. John talks about his owner review of his 2005 Mercedes-Benz Vito, and you won't believe how many kilometres he puts on his vans. Lastly, Alborz Fallah and Tony Crawford report from the Los Angeles motor show.
Done By 1 Media — Volkswagen has some pretty big plans for its bigger cars; we've got that story, plus their latest compact SUV, the T-Cross. In other news: Toyota has rolled out a special edition Hilux, Audi have uprated their R8 and McLaren have added an absolutely mental hyper-GT to their lineup. Our test drive: While everyone is going gaga over the new VW Polo and Ford Fiesta, we thought we'd revisit one of their competitors: the Peugeot 208 GT Line.
Listen to Andrew chat with Alan about his experience with the Peugeot 5008. He will discuss how impressed he was with the car and how it was much better than he was expecting.
Andrew had a Kia Optima Sportswagen GT-Line S for a week. This episode is another instalment in the series "Andrew tries all the estates on offer today". Listen to him discuss, with Alan, this good-looking estate, and back up another owner's opinion who chatted about his car with Andrew.
Kombi w dieslu nigdy nie było moim największym motoryzacyjnym marzeniem… mówiąc delikatnie. Ale ponieważ jestem otwarty na różne motoryzacyjne doznania, z radością przyjąłem informację, że przyjdzie nam pojeździć właśnie takim autem. Zwłaszcza, że była to Kia Optima, która już od dłuższego czasu bardzo się nam wszystkim podobała. Zakasaliśmy więc rękawy i zabraliśmy się do testu. […]
