Volkswagen har løftet sløret for en ny elektrisk mikrobil, der potentielt kan ryste hele markedet – hvis prisen er rigtig. Danskerne venter utålmodigt på de helt billige elbiler, og mens der så småt sker noget i miniklassen med modeller til omkring 180.000 kr., har mikrobilerne hidtil været fraværende. Nu er VW dog klar med det, der ligner en direkte arvtager eller afløser til den ikoniske VW Up. De første billeder er ude, og bilen ser lovende ud – men der er en væsentlig hage. Hør analysen fra Christian Schacht og Jan Lang, der dissekerer denne potentielle gamechanger og vurderer, om drømmen om en ultrabillig elbil endelig bliver til virkelighed. Men det stopper ikke her. I denne uge er der spækket med store bilnyheder: Volvo ES90 – lynhurtig opladning og andre vilde detaljer, men hvad med prisen?Volvo dropper stationcars? Første kig på næste XC60, der bliver elektrisk.Ny Audi A6 – vi tager et kig på brugtmarkedet. Tesla-opdatering – hvordan ser efterspørgslen egentlig ud?MEB-platformen – nedsat ladeeffekt efter opdatering til 3.7. Hvad sker der?EU lempede CO₂-krav – færre billige elbiler på vej?Peugeot e-5008 – bliver de lave priser permanente?BYD Seal falder i pris – 144 biler solgt i årets første måneder, men et hav af nye biler er på vej.Ny Toyota-elbil afsløres 12. marts – store forbedringer på bZ4X.Renault Megane fra 245.000 kr. – 420 km rækkevidde til skarp pris.

Apesar de já esperado, o fim do VW Up! não é um fato a ser celebrado. Lançado no Brasil em 2014, nunca foi um sucesso de vendas, mas se destacou por qualidade acima de seu segmento, porém brigando com um preço mais elevado até que de segmentos maiores e até mesmo dentro de casa, com o Gol e o Fox, por exemplo. Lembramos da história do hatch e os seus acertos e erros.

Bilfabrikkerne er i en kattepine. I Europa og Kina boomer salget af elbiler, ikke mindst takket være hjælpepakker fra myndighederne, men i resten af verden vælger kunderne stadigvæk benzinbiler. Og det vil de blive ved med i mange år endnu..Værten, Christian Schacht, taler med Jyllands-Postens internationale økonomiske redaktør, Keld Louie Pedersen, om de mange paradokser i bilindustrien netop nu, hvor markeder er helt ude af takt med hinanden.Der er også nyt fra Volvo, der kun vil producere elbiler fra 2030, og disse skal endda udelukkende sælges via nettet.En lille Toyota har vundet en stor prestigefyldt bilkåring, og i testgaragen holder en charmerende italiener, som dog er langt fra at være perfekt.Der er også plads til et lytterspørgsmål, hvor der skal findes et større alternativ til en families nuværende VW Up

FlatOut Brasil Podcast: notícias automotivas, car culture, automobilismo e mais!
Claro que não poderíamos deixar de debater o principal lançamento da semana - a nova geração do Porsche 911 GT3 da geração 992 e seu assombroso tempo, superando até mesmo o GT3 RS 991.2, o 918 Spyder e ficando perigosamente próximo ao GT2 RS. Além da apresentação técnica, uma acalorada e divertida discussão sobre se a evolução do mesmo conceito é mesmo o caminho certo para a Porsche seguir. O segundo debate do podcast 32 é a respeito da morte dos carros de entrada, reforçada recentemente pelo fim do VW Up, que se une ao March e ao contexto de futuro incerto de Sandero, Uno e Etios. Além é claro, dos tradicionais Desafio do Ronco, Rádio FlatOut e as matérias de destaque da semana!

Das 20. Jahrhundert-Äquivalent zur Pinken Bar...wurde bekanntlich in den 20ern von Zelda Fitzgerald initiiert, deren Leben zu Teilen in der einstaffeligen Miniserie Z: The Beginning of Everything verarbeitet wird. Begeisterungsstürme hat das in uns trotz teilweise großen Schauwerten, ebenso wie Der Hauptmann, leider nicht ausgelöst, weswegen der eigentlich Höhepunkt und inhaltliche Schwerpunkt der Folge auf The Man in the High Castle liegt, den wir mit nur kleinen, wenn auch unüblichen Einschränkungen empfehlen. Am Ende der Folge setzen wir unseren Laborversuch fort, wie oft wir die Themen Garten, Heizung, Ukulele und VW Up wiederholen müssen, bis die Zuhörer Amok laufen.
É ideia corrente que o melhor de todos os VW Up! é a versão TSI. Objetivamente, olhando de fora, é fácil de chegar a esta conclusão: mais rápido e veloz, e mais econômico se andando devagar, se comparado a versão sem turbocompressor. Também é equipado exclusivamente com câmbio manual, o que o coloca imediatamente nas graças do entusiasta. É também consenso que a versão equipada com câmbio i-motion é a pior versão. Um cambio manual robotizado, sem dupla embreagem, é algo renegado por entusiastas e pessoas comuns com a mesma veemência. Some-se isso ao “fraco” motor de um litro normalmente aspirado, e se tem algo desprezado por todos, a ponto de levar a VW a cancelar a versão recentemente. Mas é mesmo assim? Vocês tem certeza disso? Existe um velho ditado inglês que diz ser melhor andar rápido num carro lento do que devagar num carro rápido, mas sabemos que nem sempre é verdade. Será que se aplica aqui? Acompanhem um podcast onde o MAO desafia todas as percepções arraigadas de entusiastas ou não a respeito deste assunto. Do alto da posição neutra que só pode vir de alguém que gastou seu próprio dinheiro para ter os dois carros na garagem, MAO explica para o Murad qual é seu preferido, e, é claro, explica o porquê. Mas não só isso claro. Na segunda parte, acompanhem o Murad explicando porque todo o foco em “mobilidade” é um grande erro para a indústria, e aprenda porque a Renault precisa alugar um certo imóvel histórico em São Paulo.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I can find today, and picked out the ones I think you need to know about. 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. NISSAN UPDATES LEAF SOFTWARE FOR ALL AFTER #RAPIDGATE First up a public service announcement, following all of Nissans troubles over the last 12months. We first heard about a software fix from Bjorn Nyland who tested a newer LEAF 40, and it took a higher charge speed whilst being pretty hot. He raised questions over the long term health of the battery, but it was an anecdotal story of someone contacting their dealer for the fix, and being turned away which concerned me. If I were Nissan I would be on a PR offensive to superserve my customers. Well now we have more details on the story thanks to Electrive.com: "Nissan is now offering a software update for Leaf models with a 40 kWh battery to correct the significant reduction of the DC charging power that occurred under the so-called Rapidgate." says an article today: "A Nissan spokesman told electrive that they would offer the for all Leaf models produced between 8 December 2017 and 9 May 2018. Electric vehicles with a later production date already have the current software version." I was never able to test it, so i never commented on it at the time, despite a fair few complaints and people saying I was ignoring it because I was in Nissan's pocket. I like to think of it as not defaming a company for something I had no personal proof over, but hey, you feel free to get yourself sued. However as time went on there was a general reluctance from Nissan to hold their hands up and say it was a fault, but instead they recognised the issue and it was expected behiviour. However Electrive did test it themselves: "Our editors put this to the test and could confirm the problem. According to the Japanese carmaker, the Leaf has “safety precautions” to protect the battery during repeated rapid charging processes. These are important for the service life of the powerpack, not least due to a lack of thermal management." And of course the Nissan warranty is unaffected. Is that good enough, LEAF drivers? What else would Nissan realistically do? Should the LEAF be thought of a town car, with very occasional long drives, if this problem rears up on the 62kWh car? And if so, why carry around such a heavy battery on a town car, when a lighter car would be more efficient? https://www.electrive.com/2019/01/22/nissan-updates-leaf-software-after-rapidgate/ TOYOTA AND PANASONIC CONFIRM JV FOR EV BATTERIES "Toyota Motor Corp and Panasonic Corp said on Tuesday they will launch a joint venture next year to make electric vehicle (EV) batteries, leveraging the heft of one of the world’s largest automakers and battery makers to expand their EV push." confirmed Reurters today: "Toyota will own 51 percent of the joint venture, and Panasonic the rest, the two companies said in a joint statement, confirming previous reports." https://www.reuters.com/article/toyota-panasonic/toyota-panasonic-announce-jv-for-ev-batteries-idUST9N1CC01D PEUGEOT 2008 COMING AS A FULL EV "Peugeot will follow up the imminent launch of its new 208 supermini with a new 2008 crossover, due to be revealed in the autumn." reports Autocar: "The most significant change brought about by the new platform is that Peugeot will offer the 2008 as a fully electric model for the first time. Expected to be launched in early 2020, not long after the conventional petrol and diesel variants, the electric version follows on from the platform-sharing 208 and will adapt that car's electric motor and lithium ion battery pack. Details of the electric 2008's range and performance haven't yet been revealed." https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-peugeot-2008-be-offered-all-electric-variant PEUGEOT WARNS UK DEALERS TO READY FOR EV REVOLUTION "Peugeot has told its UK dealer network to prepare themselves for the coming EV revolution. During its 2019 National Dealer Conference at the NEC in Birmingham, the carmaker spelled out how its sees the growth of EV adoption will change the face of dealership service required by consumers." according to today's report by Paul Myles for TU Automotive: "David Peel, managing director of Peugeot UK, told dealers to ‘be prepared’ for the energy transition especially with the brand committing to electrifying its entire product range over the next five years." https://www.tu-auto.com/peugeot-warns-uk-dealers-to-ready-for-ev-revolution/ TESLA SAYS IT RECEIVED BATTERY QUOTES FROM LISHEN BUT NO DEAL AGREED "Tesla Inc said on Tuesday it had received quotes from Tianjin Lishen to supply batteries for its new Shanghai electric car factory but had not signed any agreement with the Chinese firm." according to Business Report: "Reuters earlier on Tuesday reported, citing two sources with direct knowledge of the matter, that Tesla and Lishen had signed a preliminary agreement and were working on the details." https://www.iol.co.za/business-report/international/tesla-says-it-received-battery-quotes-from-lishen-but-no-deal-agreed-18905698 HONDA TEASES NEW EV PROTOTYPE AHEAD OF GENEVA DEBUT Yesterday I talked how the Honda Urban EV won the Readers Vote for the What Car? Car Of The Year Awards, despite still being a prototype. Well today, "Honda confirms the rumors about the world premiere of a new EV prototype at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. The Japanese manufacturer revealed a design sketch of the prototype and said that the production version will go on sale later this year." https://insideevs.com/honda-teases-new-ev-prototype/amp/ VW: SMALL ELECTRIC CARS MAY BE UNAFFORDABLE FOR SOME This is a strange story next. Let me give you basics and we'll work out what it means. "The move to electric vehicles will make cars significantly more expensive, meaning they may become unaffordable for people on low incomes in the future, the chairman of Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) said in an interview published on Sunday." according to Reuters. Hans-Dieter Poetsch told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper: "We have the clear goal of making electromobility accessible to a broad section of the population, that is to make it affordable. The current price level cannot stay the same if these cars are equipped with electric motors. Therefore, it will inevitably lead to significant price increases in the small car segment.” And then: "Volkswagen Group CEO Herbert Diess warned that the European Union’s proposed emissions target for 2030 is too demanding and the resulting push to EVs could make motoring too expensive for some consumers." which was picked up by Automotive News Europe: "Diess said VW Group will be able to comply with the EU's average fleet carbon dioxide emissions of around 60 grams per km by 2030 by boosting sales of its full-electric cars to between 45 percent to 50 percent of the group's total volume. But he warned: "I am not sure how many customers could afford it." As examples, Diess said the retail price of a VW Up minicar that could rise in price by about 3,500 euros to 14,500 euros to be compliant with the 2030 emissions target. The price for the small Polo model could rise by 4,000 euros, he said." So this is where I'm at a loss. Europe has very stringent emissions rules coming in for 2030, it's based on the total fleet of cars you sell and it's CO2 they're measuring. VW say they're going to be an electgric leader and will be making enough EVs by then not be affected by the rules. The first point about EVs being more expensive than piston cars is something you can't comment on unless you have access to VW finances. But a 40kWh pack would add $4,000 dollars when prices come down to $100/kWh. So for a VW Up that size battery would be overkill. Maybe add $1,000 dollars for the motor and ancillaries, so you start at $5,000 and have to build the car on top of that. But this is by 2030 - and remember can't compare 100 year old piston technology to battery technology, in the last 10 years alone the cost of battery's has come down from roughly $1,000 to $150 per kWh. Imagine what tech will be like in 11 years! Remember CEO's don't say things like this for no reason, they have a game plan. And when you're so high up the food chain, pretty much every public comment you make will be politically driven to influence someone. As for the comment that emissions regulations will mean small cars get more expensive to meet those demands. But hang on, aren't we always being told VW will make so many EVs by 2030, the way I see it, that will easily offset the total fleet emissions. So sell a bunch of EVs and which allows you to keep selling the last few piston cars. Final thought – 11 years ago you had never heard of Tesla. The automotive industry relies on stability, and to them it’s natural to talk with certainty about 2030. At best it’s a projection, at worst it’s fantasy guesswork. Truth is, nobody knows what the car industry will be like 2030 and which incumbents have long since gone bust because they didn’t move to EV quick enough. https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-volkswagen-electric-vehicles/small-electric-cars-may-be-unaffordable-for-some-vw-chairman-to-newspaper-idUKKCN1PE0EJ https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/vws-diess-warns-emissions-push-could-make-cars-too-expensive-some-consumers INNOGY EMOBILITY UK APPOINTS NISSAN’S KARL ANDERS AS MANAGING DIRECTOR "Former Nissan Fleet national EV manager Karl Anders has been appointed as managing director of innogy eMobility UK." says FleetNews: "Innogy eMobility UK acts as a technology and service provider with an eMobility hardware and software portfolio.

Auto - Rund ums Auto. Fahrberichte, Gespräche und Informationen
Worum geht es? Es geht doch nichts über einen schönen Werbeclaim. Natürlich kann man es auch Markenclaim nennen. Hauptsache, es bleibt im Gedächtnis haften. Der neue Skoda Citigo ist demzufolge nicht nur „Simply Clever“, sondern auch „CITY CLEVER“. Und für den einen oder anderen ist es sicherlich auch „Simply the best!“ Los geht´s! Ich weiß ja nicht, wie es Ihnen geht, aber mir drängen sich bei Autonamen immer irgendwelche Assoziationen auf. Nehmen wir den neuen Skoda Citigo. Daraus würde bei mir statt „Sommer in der Stadt“ das Lied „Skoda in der Stadt“ werden. Und die dazugehörige Band wäre - die Jüngeren werden die gar nicht mehr kennen - das Medium Terzett. Letzteres hat natürlich einen bestimmten Grund: denn der Skoda Citigo hat bekanntermaßen als Halbbrüder den VW Up und den SEAT Mii. Und drei ergeben nun mal ein Terzett! Das Outfit ! Das Gesicht des Citigo zeigt auf den ersten Blick: Ich gehöre zur ŠKODA Familie! Das neu gestaltete ŠKODA Logo findet sich unübersehbar auf der Vorderkante der Motorhaube über dem markanten Kühlergrill. Die Scheinwerfer geben dem neuen Citigo einen sympathischen Blick. Zudem überzeugt der Wagen mit klaren Flächen, präzise geführten Linien, klaren Konturen und mit großen Seitenfenstern. Power und Drive! Im Citigo feiert die neue Generation von Dreizylinder-Benzinmotoren Premiere. Beide vorne quer eingebauten 1,0 Liter (999 cm3) Motoren leisten 60 PS (44 kW) bzw. 75 PS (55 kW) und treiben die Vorderräder an. Alle Motoren erfüllen die strengen Anforderungen der Abgasnorm Euro 5. Der Kleinstwagen beschleunigt in der 60 PS (44 kW) Version in 14,4 Sekunden von 0 auf 100 km/h. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit liegt bei 160 km/h. In Kombination mit dem Fünfgang-Handschaltgetriebe verbraucht er im kombinierten Betrieb durchschnittlich 4,5 l/100 km und emittiert 105 Gramm CO2 pro Kilometer. In der besonders verbrauchsarmen Green tec-Version (mit Start-Stopp-Automatik, Bremsenergierückgewinnung und rollwiderstandsoptimierten Reifen) liegen die Werte bei 4,1 l/100 km bzw. 95 g/km Die Innenausstattung ! Der neue Citigo beweist: Auch ein Kleinstwagen kann innen geräumig sein, denn Fahrer und Insassen sind komfortabel und alles andere als beengt unterwegs. Für einen leichten Einstieg in den Fond sorgt beim Dreitürer die „Easy-Entry“-Funktion. Dabei werden die Vordersitze mit einem einfachen Handgriff nach vorne geklappt und geschoben, so dass Passagiere einfach und bequem auf die Rücksitze gelangen. Zudem verfügt der Citigo mit 251 Litern über das größte Kofferraumvolumen seiner Klasse. Die Kosten! Der Skoda Citigo geht im günstigsten Fall mit der 60 PS (44 kW) Version für 9.450,-- €uro an den Start. Die teuerste Version, mit 75 PS (55 kW) und Green tec, liegt bei 12.675,-- €uro. Das Gesamtbild! Eins kann man den Skoda Citigo in jedem Fall attestieren. Der ŠKODA Marken-Claim „Simply Clever“ passt auf den neuen Kleinen besonders gut!

Auto - Rund ums Auto. Fahrberichte, Gespräche und Informationen
Worum geht es? Wenn ein Automobilkonzern ein neues Automobil auf den Markt bringt, ist immer ein gewisser Werbeaufwand gefragt. Wenn dies allerdings ein Konzern wie der Volkswagen ist, der dieses neue Auto gleich bei drei seiner Marken einführt, dann ist das Ganze noch etwas schwieriger, denn schließlich muss für jeden Markenauftritt eine gewisse Alleinstellung geschaffen werden. Bei SEAT ist das in aller Regel Sportlichkeit und spanisches Flair. Das gilt auch für den neuen SEAT Mii. Los geht´s! Mit Zwillingen und Drillingen ist das ja so eine Sache. Außer der Mutter kann die meistens keiner auseinanderhalten, vor allem, weil sie besonders gerne identische Kleider tragen. Bei Autos ist die Sache ein bisschen anders. Nehmen wir mal den SEAT Mii. Oder den VW UP. Oder den Skoda Citigo. Eigentlich sind das ja Drillinge, aber man bemüht sich, das nicht ganz so auffällig zu machen. Wir haben uns für heute den spanischen Teil der Drillingsgruppe herausgenommen, den SEAT Mii. Das Outfit ! Der Mii ist das ideale Fahrzeug für die Stadt. Mit einer Länge von nur 3,55 m ist er dort bestens unterwegs. Er startet zunächst als Dreitürer, die fünfjährige Version folgt etwas später. Power und Drive! SEAT hat dem neuen Mii eine völlig neu entwickelte Motorengeneration spendiert. Auswählen kann man zwischen 60 und 75 PS (44 und 55 kW). Die beiden Motoren haben mit dem neuen 929 bzw. 940 kg schweren Wagen keinerlei Probleme, die Höchstgeschwindigkeit beträgt 160 bzw. 171 km/h, den Sprint erledigt die 60 PS (44kW) Version in 14,4 Sekunden, die 75 PS (55 kW) Version benötigt sogar nur 13,2 Sekunden von null auf 100. Den günstigsten Verbrauch erzielt man dabei mit der 60 PS Ecomotive Version, dank Start-Stopp-System, Rekuperation und weiteren verbrauchssenkenden Maßnahmen kommt man mit 4,1 Litern Superbenzin aus, was gerade einmal 96 g CO2 pro Kilometer entspricht. Die Innenausstattung ! Klein aber oho könnte man natürlich beim SEAT Mii sagen. Denn obwohl er eine sehr kleine Karosserie mitbringt, hat er Platz für vier Personen, die dann sogar noch 251 Liter Gepäckraum zur Verfügung haben. Klappt man die Rücksitzlehne um, sind es sogar maximal 951 Liter. Die Kosten! Der SEAT Mii ist nicht nur karosserietechnisch klein ausgefallen, das Gleiche gilt auch für die Preise. Derzeit wird er von 8.890 Euro für das 60 PS (44 kW) Einstiegsmodell bis hin zu 10.975 Euro für die Version 1.0 Ecomotive mit 75 PS (55 kW) angeboten. Das Gesamtbild! SEAT ist es gelungen, beim neuen Mii das spanische Flair der Marke zu integrieren. So wird auch aus einem Drilling ein Unikat!
