Special-edition Hyundai i10, i20 & i30 launched (UK)


A series of new special-edition Hyundai models will arrive in 2010, bringing upgraded styling and equipment to the i10, i20 and i30 ranges.

Prices for the new models – all called Edition – start at £8,425 for a 1.1 litre i10 and run to £14,700 for the 1.6 CRDi i30.

At the top of the range, the i30 Edition has a sporty look and the choice of petrol or diesel engines, with prices from £13,400. Standard equipment includes alloy wheels, sports pedals, remote central locking and 4 electric windows, while an engine stop-start system is a £200 option.

The i20 Edition comes with the 1.2 litre petrol engine, in both 3 & 5dr bodies, and with a choice of two optional exterior colours. Costing from £10,565, it has half-leather seat trim, air conditioning and remote central locking.

The cheapest of the new Edition models is the i10, which comes with a 1.1 litre petrol engine and alloy wheels, side mouldings and front fog-lights, air-conditioning and electric windows. Thanks to its 119g/km CO2 emissions, its annual road tax will cost just £35.

Next Seat Exeo will be bespoke

SEAT’s next-generation Exeo will be less dependent on VW Group technology and be more of a bespoke SEAT product, according to a company source. The current Exeo is basically a previous-generation Audi A4 and was born out of SEAT’s desire to get a saloon car to market quickly under former president, who used to work for Audi, Erich Schmitt.

But our source confirmed that SEAT would eventually replace the Exeo with a car that was more of a bespoke Seat product.

“The current Exeo was a very good solution to our desire to get a saloon to market very quickly,” said the source. “We needed to be in that segment and the old A4 was the best option, but its replacement will be very much a Seat product, relying less on VW Group technology.”

The source didn’t put a timescale on when the next Exeo would be launched but they did confirm it would be developed at its Martorell facility in Spain. They also said that SEAT had no plans to repeat what it did with the Exeo on other models.

The source compared the next Exeo to the current-generation Skoda Superb. The second-generation Superb was heavily reliant on borrowing from the Volkswagen Passat but the current model is much more of a bespoke Skoda product.

Entry-level Volkswagen Scirocco introduced (UK)


A new entry-level Volkswagen Scirocco will go on sale 4th January priced from £18,860 – £800 less than the current entry-level model.

The new car will be powered by a 121bhp 1.4 litre petrol engine, quite the opposite to the current entry-level model, which has a 158bhp engine. The new model’s 0-62mph time of 9.7 seconds is almost two seconds slower than the more powerful car’s but its CO2 emissions of 146g/km make it the cleanest petrol-engined model in the Scirocco range. The 121bhp car also returns 44.1mpg – better than the 158bhp car’s 42.8mpg with the same six-speed manual gearbox.

Standard equipment includes a 6-CD autochanger, air-conditioning, 17” alloy wheels, stability control and 6 airbags. Adaptive Chassis Control, which tailors the car's suspension to suit different road conditions, is a £765 option.

Volkswagen has also announced a new optional styling pack for GT models. The £950 Lugano Black package includes 19" alloys finished in gloss black as well as extra Piano Black inserts in the cabin.

Facelifted Maybach uber-limo confirmed


Mercedeas boss, Dieter Zetsche has admitted that the super-luxury Maybach saloon will be facelifted next year - but he refused to confirm that a next-generation car was being planned, adding to rumours that the brand is being axed. Test mules of the facelifted model were spied eariler on this year.

"The contribution of Maybach is not significant or relevant but there are only two players in this market and we are one of them – referring to Rolls-Royce. But there are no plans in the long run," he said. Zetsche also revealed that he thinks that luxury buyers' tastes are changing towards more "discreet and subtle luxury".

North East to get first Nissan LEAF electric cars in Spring 2011 (UK)


Nissan has signed a contact with development agency, One North East that will help to strengthen the North East of England as the UK’s national centre for developing ultra-low-carbon vehicles. Under the agreement, One North East has agreed to install at least 619 charging points by the start of 2011, with electricity provided free of charge until the end of March 2012 or until an itemised billing service is available.

It has already installed two charging points for public use in the car park at its head office. The agency will also work with other companies in the area to create at least 200 free dedicated public parking spaces by November 2010, as well as introducing preferential access to certain roads and areas.

The agreement also sets commitments on incentives for drivers, as well as education and demonstration initiatives to be introduced over the next two years. At the same time, Nissan has also agreed to supply LEAF cars to the region in early 2011 and to give priority to orders for the car from the North East.

The forthcoming LEAF EV is billed as the world's first affordable, zero-emissions car. Using lithium-ion battery, the LEAF has a range of more than 100 miles (160kms). The LEAF will launch in Japan Winter 2010 with U.S and European launches happening in Spring 2011.

peugeot 207 cc and girl


peugeot 207 cc and girl

Design-wise, the peugeot cars 207 CC offers more elegant, sportier and sleeker lines than the 206 CC it replaces. The rakish windscreen does a wonderful job of highlighting the athleticism of the car. The rear, which I personally think has shades of the Mitsubishi Colt CZC, is neater and positively more attractive than its predecessor.

From whichever angle you look at it, the peugeot 207 CC now boasts a smarter and more confident look, more so with the top down. All it takes is just 25 seconds to convert from coupe to cabriolet, and vice versa. Without a one-touch function, all that you can do throughout these 25 seconds is to watch in awe as the roof folds majestically into the boot. Operating the roof is totally automatic, meaning that there is no catch to release or lock.

With the roof down, wind buffeting, or rather the lack of it, is never an issue. You can still hold a decent conversation at expressway speeds in the 207 CC.

The downside with many convertibles is that the absence of a solid roof often translates to rigidity problems. Without solid pillars to provide additional support to the overall frame, lesser convertibles usually fall prey to body flex. Peugeot engineers, however, have done a commendable job in strengthening the chassis, thus ensuring that the car remains largely flex-free even over bumpy roads and bends. The downside, however, is that 200 kilos have been added to the overall weight of the car.

Steering is both responsive and decently sharp, although it does get a bit vague above expressway speeds. Compared to the previous model, steering feedback has also improved, giving more information to the driver on the road surface conditions. On the inside, quality and design, have been given a boost with soft-feel facia. There’s no doubt that the 207 CC has become a classier car overall. Space-wise, there is abundance of it for those in front. It’s a different story altogether for the rear seats as even midgets would complain of cramped conditions.

Where luggage is concerned, golfers heading to the range or course should dispense with their full-size golf bags and full set of clubs. With the roof up, you get 449 litres of space. Driving topless, the cargo area dwindles to 187 litres. A practical solution is to dump the bags on the rear seat.

As much as I adore the 207 CC, the car is not without its bugbears, principally the four-speed Tiptronic gearbox. I had expected a consistent ‘hot-knife-through-butter’ smoothness in the gear changes but was greeted with the occasional jerkiness. Drive the car in the manual mode and you’ll have to contend with gear shifts that are anything but swift.

On the move, the 207 CC offers a generally pliant and comfortable ride. At the heart of the coupe cabriolet is a four-cylinder 1.6-litre engine with variable valve timing. Co-developed with BMW, the powerplant generates a maximum of 120 horses at 6,000 rpm and takes 12.6 seconds to sprint from zero to hundred. Torque is a surprising 240 Nm, offering abundant pulling power for swift overtaking. And when speed needs to be shed, the brakes bite exceptionally well.

The 207 CC, which boasts of 5-star Euro NCAP rating, abounds with safety features. These include Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Anti-lock Brakes (ABS), with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA). On top of these, the four airbags and chrome-plated rollover bars complete with the safety net. J

peugeot cars red


History
The peugeot cars red was the result of a joint venture that Saab entered into with Fiat and Lancia. peugeot cars red, the project could not have produced three more different cars. Fiat's Croma and Lancia's Thema bombed, while the big Saab kept going strong, for well over a decade after it was originally launched.

It made its debut in the UK in 1985 as a five-door turbocharged 2.0-litre executive hatch, with a non-turbo 2.0-litre 136bhp model following a year later. Saloon variants were next, and the whole range got US-style high-level rear brake lights in 1988.

peugeot cars red In 1991, the range was revised, with uprated suspension and anti-lock brakes as standard. The five-door 9000 hatchback was now called the 9000 CS. The flagship Carlsson version was uprated to 220bhp with a 2.3-litre engine, while at the other end of the line-up, a popular luxury 2.0 CSE model was introduced in 1992.

Light-pressure turbo engines began to arrive in the CS and CD line-ups in 1992, first in 2.0-litre form (but later as part of the 2.3-litre engine line-up; don't confuse a 2.3-litre light pressure turbo – badged Eco or Eco E – with the full-blown 2.3-litre Turbo model).

peugeot cars red In 1993, the Carlsson was replaced by an Aero model with a slightly different look but much the same performance formula. After General Motors took control of the Trollhattan Company, the 24-valve V6 from the Vauxhall Omega was installed in top models in 1994.

peugeot cars red In 1997, the saloon CD models were replaced by the all-new 9-5. The five-door CS continued, however, but was itself deleted at the end of 1998, to be replaced effectively by the new 9-5 estate.

Direção defensiva ou condução defensiva

Direção defensiva ou condução defensiva (ou direção/condução preventiva) é o conjunto de medidas e procedimentos utilizados para prevenir ou minimizar as conseqüências dos acidentes de trânsito. Baseado na noção de que em todo acidente sempre está presente uma falha humana relacionada ou a negligência, ou imprudência, ou imperícia, a direção defensiva pretende que o motorista que a emprega seja um elemento ativo na alteração ou eliminação dos fatores que possam vir a causar acidentes. NoBrasil, a resolução 168/04,[1] de 2004, exige que todo motorista passe pelo curso de Direção defensiva, seja ao obter ou ao renovar sua habilitação.

Os princípios de direção defensiva dividem-se em cinco grupos:

Conhecimento, Atenção, Previsão, Habilidade, Ação.


Conhecimento

Implica no domínio das informações necessárias envolvendo:

  • As leis de trânsito;
  • O veículo e equipamentos de transporte;
  • As condições adversas que podem ser encontradas durante a condução.

Condições adversas

São condições que, agregando fatores de risco, aumentam a possibilidade de acidentes e que a Direção defensiva permite evitar ou reduzir. As condições adversas se referem a:

]Iluminação

Fatores relacionados à luz, como ofuscamentos, reflexos, penumbra, direção noturna. O ofuscamento causado pelo farol alto do veículo no sentido contrário, pode levar o condutor andar mais de 60 metros cego pois se a velocidade que se esta trafegando é de 80km/h, como ficamos mais ou menos cegos durante 3 seg, logo andando a 22m/seg estaremos mais ou menos 60 metros cegos. Por isso quando se fala em direção defensiva relacionado ao farol alto,sempre devemos baixar a luz quando sentirmos que vamos ofuscar o condutor do veículo do sentido contrário, isto vale para quem trafega atras de outro veículo também em relação aos retrovisores.

]Tempo

Fatores relacionados às condições climáticas ou ambientais, como chuva, aquaplanagem, neblina, fumaça, granizo ou neve.

]Vias

Fatores relacionados às condições da via como sinalização, conservação, drenagem, vegetação, defeitos ou erros de construção, e também ao planejamento do trajeto.

]Trânsito

Fatores relacionados a peculiaridades do trânsito como congestionamento, aglomerações humanas, horários de grande movimento, tráfego de veículos pesados, ciclistas ou animais, comportamento de outros condutores.

]Veículo

Fatores ligados à manutenção do veículo, especialmente dos itens diretamente ligados à segurança: luzes, freios, pneus, suspensão, espelhos, extintor.

Cargas

Fatores ligados ao transporte de cargas, como acondicionamento, amarração, equilíbrio, distribuição do peso, volume.

Condutor

Fatores ligados ao estado físico e mental do condutor. Estes fatores incluem deficiências visuais ou físicas, uso de drogas ou medicamentos, estado de sono, estresse ou alteração emocional.

Passageiros

Fatores ligados ao comportamento ou características dos passageiros. Estes fatores podem incluir, idade, quantidade, estado emocional, barulho, brigas, passageiros que passam mal ou excesso de passageiros.

]Atenção

O princípio da atenção implica que o condutor do veículo esteja atento e em permanente alerta a uma série de elementos que possam vir a interferir, seja no sentido de prevenir acidentes, no caso da sinalização, seja no sentido de criar situações de perigo, no caso de outros motoristas, pedestres, ciclistas, animais, além de todas as condições adversas.

]Previsão

A previsão implica que o condutor anteveja situações, preparando-se antecipadamente para agir caso estas venham a se consumar, de maneira que não seja tomado de surpresa.

Habilidade

Habilidade é a destreza necessária que um condutor treinado adquire para conduzir seu veículo corretamente, capacitando-se a executar as manobras necessárias assim como a evitar colocar-se a si ou a terceiros em situação de risco.

Ação

É estar pronto para fazer qualquer manobra perigosa ou não. E também estar preparado para dirigir defensivamente evitando acidentes, mortes e ferimentos.

Against a backdrop of generally gloomy sales forecasts and belt-tightening, a chorus of optimism rose from automakers at the Paris show as the technical hurdles of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicle development -- primarily involving the cost and capacity of advanced-chemistry batteries -- are gradually being overcome. "Two years ago nobody said an electric vehicle was even possible," said Pitt Moos, marketing manager for Smart USA. "Today everybody is saying, 'We're going to make one.' "

Can a Volvo travel 827 miles on one tank of diesel?


That's the million dollar question in the fuel economy test. Two middle-aged men, Dom Jolly and Rufus Hound made a trip from the Volvo UK HQ in Marlow, Buckinghamshire to Milano, Italy and back again. Why? It's a journey about friendship and fuel economy, primarily the latter.

The car used is a 2009 Volvo V70 DRIVe which is powered by a 1.6 litre turbo-charged diesel engine, producing 109PS. Fuel economy is rated at 57.7mpg combined with a CO2 output of 129g/km. Prices start at £23,245.

Mercedes to be flexible with right-hand drive markets


Mercedes has promised to be 'fully flexible' with its next generation of cars so that anything available in left-hand-drive models can also be fitted for right-hand drive markets like hybrid technology and 4-Matic.

'We know we have maybe not done enough in the past, but in future there will be no restrictions,' said Dr Thomas Weber, the company's head of research and development. The head of Mercedes UK, Wilfried Steffen said with the next generation of cars, you will be able to have everything. We will prepare our vehicles for all markets.'

For many years, British buyers have been without the 4-Matic available on many cars sold in Europe and America because it was never engineered to fit into right-hand-drive models. The GLK compact SUV is not sold here for the same reason. That left Mercedes UK missing a rival for the BMW X3, Land Rover Freelander, Infiniti EX, Cadillac SRX and Audi Q5, as well as a series of cars that could compete with Audi's Quattro range.

The change of heart is particularly important with greater hybridisation of the range on the way. With countries all around the world targeting lower fuel consumption and CO2, none would want to miss out on technology that could help achieve those goals.

Dr Weber says there will be a hybrid version of every Mercedes 'above the C-Class', so that includes the E-Class, GL-Class, GLK, SLK, SL-Class and Viano and the flagship S-Class – at the Frankfurt show last Autumn the company announced it would offer a 90mpg, 74g/km hybrid version of the next-generation model, but that's at least two years away. A S-Class hybrid is already available.

In the meantime, the current car is to get a 4 cylinder diesel engine because of demand from markets where there are CO2-related motoring taxes. This will be badged S300 CDI and will be powered by a high-power version of the company's 2.2 litre turbo-diesel engine. Despite the relatively small capacity, it shouldn't be short of muscle – Dr Weber promises it will deliver 370lb ft of torque.

peugeot RC HYmotion4



Peugeot dipped into diesel-electric waters with its Prologue crossover, which will go into production next year. Peugeot and Citroen, siblings under PSA Group, will share a hybrid system called Hymotion4, which involves an efficient diesel engine powering the front wheels and an electric motor/lithium battery driving the rear wheels. The car's hybrid drivetrain uses a 70 kilowatt electric motor up front and a 1.6-liter gas engine in the rear, with a combined total of 313 horsepower. The car can be driven electric-only, gas-only, or with gas and electric power. Peugeot claims 52 mpg and only 109 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
