The New Peugeot E-208 Gets Sporty New look And 248 Mile Range

The New Peugeot E-208 Gets Sporty New look And 248 Mile Range

July 6, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


Order books for the new Peugeot E-208 will open this fall. The electric hatchback will have a new electric motor, a greater range, and a more modern, dynamic external design.

The first-generation E-208 was introduced with a 100kW electric motor and 50kWh battery, providing a range of up to 217 miles, as a competitor to the Renault Zoe and Honda E.

The E-208 received a mid-life upgrade in 2021 that included a heat pump and a new transmission, helping to boost its range to 225 miles.

With a 51kWh battery and 115kW electric motor, the new electric supermini can go up to 248 kilometers on a single charge.

A 20–80% charge is anticipated to take a 100k quick charger around 25 minutes, or a 7kW home charger about 4 hours, 40 minutes.

The new brand logo has been entirely integrated into the front end, and the front grille has been styled to match the body color of the previous generation vehicle. LED lighting is commonplace.

The revised e-208 receives the same three-claw light signature as its e-2008 brother, which consists of three integrated, long vertical lights. The lights have been moved to the car’s outside border to give it a wider stance.

Additional improvements have been made to the back, which now has a distinctive three-claw light signature made up of red LED lights aligned horizontally.

White ‘E’ patterns are scattered around the bodywork of the new e-208 to match Peugeot’s electric vehicle lineup. Not only has the bodywork been changed, but there are also two new wheel designs for the E-208 that come in 16- and 17-inch alloy sizes.

The company’s most recent i-Connect infotainment system, controlled by a 10″ touchscreen display mounted on top of the dashboard, is housed within the stylish new E-208. GT variants come included with a 3D display.

Behind Peugeot’s small steering wheel is a digital display, a design element that has come to represent the company.
Thankfully, Peugeot hasn’t completely abandoned physical buttons just yet, and a number of features, including air conditioning, are simple to use.

The electric hatch now has a variety of innovative driver assistance systems, including as adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, road sign recognition, and lane keep assist.

Active, Allure, and GT are the three trim levels that are initially offered. New front and rear light signatures as well as an upgraded 10″ touchscreen are included with the Active trim, which is the base model. If you choose the top-of-the-line GT trim, full LED headlights, 17-inch alloys, and a high-definition parking camera are included.

Peugeot has not yet announced the price of the electric supermini, but we anticipate it to start at about £32,000.

Toyota Land Cruiser For The US Could Be A Prado With Retro Styling

Toyota Land Cruiser For The US Could Be A Prado With Retro Styling

June 30, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


It Will Be Influenced By The 1960s And 1970s Land Cruiser Generations

The Toyota Land Cruiser was terminated in the United States after the 2021 model year, but the Japanese automaker reportedly revealed the SUV will return later this year.

The new LC for America will not be the LC300, which has been offered in Europe and other parts of the world for a few years, but rather a distinct product with a greater emphasis on off-road capabilities. According to a recent claim, Toyota may potentially introduce the new Land Cruiser Prado to the US market.

According to Drive in Australia, the company’s new Land Cruiser for America would target the more hardcore off-road category.

As a result, it intends to offer it in limited quantities and with classic style influenced by Land Cruisers from the 1960s and 1970s. Indeed, it appears that the new Land Cruiser for the US market will be a revised and more cheap version of the 2017 Lexus GX with its boxy shape.

Needless to mention, the vehicle will be built on a body-on-frame chassis that will accommodate electrification.

The worldwide Prado and the US model will share just the side profile, with the front and rear end style being distinct to the newer vehicle. Naturally, the new Land Cruiser for America will be less expensive than its more premium Lexus-badged sibling.

Nothing is official yet in terms of engines, but rumour on the street is that power will come from a turbocharged 2.4-liter hybrid powerplant, which might also be offered for the new GX.

This electrified mill produces 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque in the 2017 Toyota Tacoma, and similar numbers might be expected for the new LC.

As previously stated, Toyota intends to offer the new Land Cruiser in the United States as a niche product, with substantially lower sales statistics than, say, the 4Runner.

The new SUV will allegedly come in two trim levels, with the flagship model boasting TRD Pro-inspired off-road enhancements.

Finally, Toyota hinted about a new Land Cruiser for the European market. Nothing is official at this time, but we believe Toyota will send the new and more robust Prado to the Old Continent, where the Land Cruiser name is still used.

Suzuki Introduces The Limited GSX-S1000 Race Edition In France

Suzuki Introduces The Limited GSX-S1000 Race Edition In France

June 30, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


The Limited-Edition Naked Bike Honors The Suzuki Endurance Racing Team’s Efforts In The EWC 2023

Suzuki had indicated its intention to retire from racing entirely. This was mostly true, since the brand withdrew from the MotoGP, the most renowned racing series on two wheels.

However, the Japanese manufacturer elected to continue racing in the EWC with the extremely successful Suzuki Endurance Racing Team, which is now ranked fourth in the 2023 standings.

Suzuki will introduce a special edition Hayabusa modelled after the renowned Bol d’Or endurance event in France in the autumn of 2022.

This time, with summer in full swing, Suzuki has unveiled yet another limited-edition sports bike. The Japanese firm has introduced a Race Edition of the famous naked bike, the GSX-S1000, this time. Here, we discover a one-of-a-kind color scheme inspired by the Suzuki Endurance Racing Team, as well as a few thoughtful improvements to offer the bike a sportier feel and increased performance.

Suzuki has effectively taken a normal GSX-S1000 and dressed it out in goodies that make it a track-ready motorcycle with the Suzuki GSX-S1000 Race Edition.

To begin, it receives a tail tidy for a more sporty appearance, as well as a full suite of GB Racing engine and crankcase covers. Of course, nothing says track-ready like a seat cowl and red-painted Brembo callipers. The Race Edition also has an Akrapovic slip-on system to give the bike a bit extra snarl.

In addition, the limited edition naked sport bike comes with a numbered SERT FW plate and a Welcome Pack that includes a cap and a T-shirt.

Nothing truly changes in terms of performance, since the Race Edition is mainly a cosmetic upgrade kit, save for the Akrapovic slip-on, which may add two or three ponies.

Nonetheless, it’s propelled by Suzuki’s tried-and-true 999cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, inline-four cylinder engine, which produces 152 horsepower.

In terms of cost and availability, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 Race Edition is only available in France. The bike costs 16,999 Euros ($18,468 USD) with a selection of bolt-on equipment and a stylish livery, which is 3,500 Euros more than the normal model. The GSX-S1000 retails for $11,299 USD in the United States.

An Aggressive Little sportbike, The GPX Demon GR200R Da Corsa 2

An Aggressive Little sportbike, The GPX Demon GR200R Da Corsa 2

June 27, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


This Compact Sportbike Features Supersport Style In A User-Friendly Design

The motorbike lineup from Thai manufacturer GPX is extremely fascinating. The company’s activities are mostly in Southeast Asia, and the majority of its models are commuter bikes with modest displacements that are dressed up to look sporty or vintage. The GPX Legend 250, for instance, pulls stylistic cues from vintage roadsters, but the Demon is a little superbike.

The brand’s bikes have been discussed previously, and it’s easy to understand why they’re becoming more and more well-liked since they combine the reliability of a commuter with the aesthetic of a sporty or vintage machine.

Nevertheless, the brand’s attraction to riders in the area is maintained with the introduction of a limited-edition Demon GR200R sportbike in the Malaysian market. This little sportbike aims to compete with models like the Yamaha YZF-R15, Honda CBR150R, and maybe the KTM RC 200. Let’s examine more closely, shall we?

It is obvious that the style of liter-class superbikes from mainstream manufacturers served as inspiration for this sportbike. Both the front end and the fairings have a slight Yamaha YZF-R1 and BMW S 1000 RR influence.

Due to its low seat height and compact wheelbase, its dimensions are obviously tailored for shorter riders. This makes the bike more maneuverable in the crowded city and more accessible to a larger range of users. In dense traffic, motorbike riders in Asian cities spend the majority of their time weaving between automobiles. The main perk of riding two wheels on the road is that, after all.

The GPX Demon GR200R Da Corsa 2 Limited Edition costs RM 12,588, or around $2,691 USD, in Malaysia. Yes, I am aware that this is a rather lengthy name. With the KTM RC 200 retailing at RM 15,888 ($3,397 USD) and the Yamaha YZF-R15M retailing for RM 14,998 ($3,206 USD), it significantly undercuts its mainstream rivals.

With a 198cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine, it offers performance that is comparable to that of these bikes. The Demon GR200R Da Corsa 2 Limited Edition produces 19.1 horsepower and 12 pound-feet of torque thanks to its redesigned four-valve cylinder head.

Regarding the bike’s running gear, GPX gave the GR200R some very basic componentry. A six-speed manual gearbox with a chain drive transmits power to the rear wheels. An inverted front fork and a YSS rear monoshock are responsible for the bike’s suspension, while front and rear disc brakes are used to stop it. A full colour TFT instrument cluster keeps riders informed, and full-LED lights illuminate the road in front of them.

An image of the Mugello Circuit on the tank and a choice of three sporty colors distinguish the limited edition vehicle. These colors—Daytona Black, Da Corsa Blue, and Racing Grey—give the tiny sportbike a look that is inspired by supersports.

Mercedes Debuts Its 2024 E-Class Estate

Mercedes Debuts Its 2024 E-Class Estate

June 23, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


Mercedes is aware that not all customers desire an SUV. It has not only added an estate version to the most recent C-Class, but it is also preserving the long-roof E-Class for at least another generation.

Even if the outlandish rumour that the three-pointed star will stop pulling wagons after 2030 is accurate, there will still be plenty of time to get away from the ubiquitous sport utility vehicle. Let’s not forget that the CLA Shooting Brake is still available, although for a limited time.

The Sedan-Like Vehicle Has Three Displays, A Selfie Camera, And Yep, TikTok And Angry Birds

The largest of the three Mercedes waggons has an interior that is incredibly roomy and is even bigger than its predecessor. The code-named S214’s wheelbase has been extended by 22 millimetres (0.86 inches) to 2961 millimetres (116.57 inches) for more legroom and by 28 millimetres (1.1 inches) to 1880 millimetres (74 inches) for more elbow space. Height has grown by 1 mm (0.04 in) to 1469 mm (57.83 in), while length has increased by 4 mm (0.15 in) to 4949 mm (194.84 in).

The 2024 Mercedes E-Class can hold 615 liters (21.7 cubic feet) with the back seats in place or 1,830 l (64.6 cubic feet) if you fold them. It is no longer available with an optional third row. Practicality suffers if you choose a plug-in hybrid because of the extra hardware; the volume drops to 460 l (16.2 cu ft) or 1,785 l (63 cu ft) after folding the 40:20:40-split rear seats. A typical installation electrically actuated tailboard allows access to the cargo space.

Regardless of sales figures, the new E-Class Estate is a gorgeous wagon with every incentive to compete with the GLE. It strongly resembles the W214 E-Class Sedan, which was unveiled in late April, as was predicted, and appears to be less divisive than the impending BMW 5 Series Touring.

The drag coefficient has decreased from 0.27 to 0.26, making the body more streamlined than previously. Although the standard model rolls on 17-inch wheels, you may order it with wheels up to 21 inches in diameter.

The E-Class Estate claims to be a stylish and comfortable family vehicle with all the amenities accessible from the sedan, and is offered with a standard rear air suspension or an optional two-axle Airmatic. A selfie camera, three displays, and TikTok integration are all available.

Also included are Angry Birds and Zoom for conferencing utilizing the dashboard-mounted internal video camera.

Mercedes will first offer the upscale wagon in Europe as the E200 and E220d, together with the E300e plug-in hybrid. A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 204 horsepower (150 kilowatts) and 320 Newton-meters (236 pound-feet) of torque is used in the gasoline-powered version.

The four-pot mill is a mild-hybrid model, which means it uses an electric motor to add an additional 23 horsepower (17 kW) and 205 Nm (151 lb-ft) of torque. This combination can reach a peak speed of 144 mph (231 km/h) and can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.8 seconds.

The 2.0-liter engine of the E220d diesel employs the same 48V system and produces 197 horsepower (145 kW) and 440 Nm (325 lb-ft).

It will finish the sprint in 7.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h). Mercedes promises that a six-cylinder diesel will come if you require more power. The nine-speed automatic gearbox, which has been upgraded for this application to improve packing and reduce weight, is used in all models.

New LED Headlight For The 2023 KTM 200 Duke

New LED Headlight For The 2023 KTM 200 Duke

June 20, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


Due to its boisterous personality, KTM’s street bike portfolio is adored by many riders all over the world. Additionally, the Austrian manufacturer’s models are tier-based so that riders of different backgrounds and skill levels find them appealing. In particular, this applies to the Duke line of naked bikes.

It Now Resembles The 390 Duke, Its Older Sister, Almost Exactly

For instance, beginners may quite easily swing a leg over the sporty-looking KTM 200 Duke, a naked bike with performance that is very similar to a performance scooter. After then, they can upgrade to the 390 Duke, which produces almost twice as much power as the 200.

After graduating from the single-cylinder motorcycles’ performance, the 790 and 890 Duke are available to provide even more thrills.

Last but not least, if that level of performance is still insufficient to pique your interest, the 1290 Super Duke R’s 177 horsepower ought to be more than enough to satisfy the needs of even the most power-hungry rider.

To deliver better performance, appearance, and an all-around better riding experience, KTM keeps improving all of its models. The Austrian company has this time focused on the 200 Duke, the smallest model in its current lineup.

The little model now has an LED headlamp that matches the appearance of its larger brothers, bringing it in harmoniously with the rest of the Duke series.

Even while this modification may seem little, it significantly improves the bike’s appearance because the halogen lamp on the previous model didn’t seem to blend well with the bike’s very contemporary aesthetics. What’s more, KTM’s split LED light is renowned for providing excellent road illumination. This modification is definitely more than welcome, especially in Asia where the 200 Duke is the commuter bike of choice.

Everything about the performance side of the equation stays the same. The 199cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, single-cylinder KTM 200 Duke is regarded as the most performance-oriented model in the sub-200cc naked bike market. Its engine produces 25 horsepower at 10,000 rpm and 14 pound-feet of torque at 8,000 rpm. For comparison, the Royal Enfield Scram 411, a motorcycle with more than twice the displacement, has the same amount of power.

The redesigned 200 Duke will debut in India first before expanding to other markets, as is the case with the remainder of KTM’s small displacement range. Retail pricing in India is Rs 196,000, or around $2,391 USD, and the new headlamp raises that price by Rs 3,000, or a pitiful $37 USD. The KTM 200 Duke retails for $4,199 USD in the US, taxes and shipping not included.

Akrapovič Introduces A New Slip-On System For The SuzukiV-Strom 800DE
Automotive News

The Suzuki V-Strom 800DE Gets A New Slip-On System From Akrapovic

The Suzuki V-Strom 800DE Gets A New Slip-On System From Akrapovic

June 19, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


For This Middleweight Explorer, The Dazzling Slip-On System Offers Less Weight And Better Performance

Without a question, Suzuki’s unveiling of its middleweight machine range for 2023 was a huge success. The Japanese firm has already come under fire for its lack of creativity and for moving slowly by relying on antiquated technologies. Without a doubt, the brand’s brand-new assortment gave it a much-needed new lease of life.

A new 776cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, parallel-twin engine with an output of 83 horsepower and 57 pound-feet of torque has replaced the 650cc V-Twin featured in the SV650 and V-Strom 650. A number of cutting-edge technological innovations, including an up and down quickshifter, traction control, LED lighting, and a full-color TFT display, have been added by Suzuki in addition to the improved performance.

Given this, it is obvious that the V-Strom 800DE and GSX-8S will be big successes, and the fact that their respective aftermarkets are expanding quickly will undoubtedly contribute to this success.

Speaking about aftermarket equipment, many of us replace the exhaust system on our bikes as one of the first modifications. The Suzuki V-Strom 800DE now gets a brand-new slip-on exhaust system from Slovenia’s Akrapovi, one of the most well-known manufacturers in the world.

Naturally, aftermarket exhausts do three things: first, they greatly reduce weight; second, they maximize engine performance (thanks to manufacturers like Akrapovi). In an ideal world, any noise produced by such an item would just be considered a byproduct.

Let’s face it; the majority of us install aftermarket exhausts on our motorcycles mostly for the sound. However, given recent changes in the aftermarket business, all of this could soon alter; however, it is a subject for a different tale.

There is no need to worry about the Akrapovi new slip-on system being legal in European nations because it is fully homologated to ECE and Euro 5 requirements in the case of the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE.

The brand makes some astounding promises about performance, including a 23.6 percent weight reduction and an increase of one horsepower and one Newton-meter (around 0.7 pound-feet) of torque. Like it typically does in its exhaust systems, Akrapovi used a lot of titanium and carbon fibre to attain this small weight.

Due to its slip-on design, the system is very simple to install. It attaches straight to the standard manifold and makes use of existing gear.

The flamboyant exhaust system from Akrapovi will undoubtedly cost a premium, both in terms of price and availability. Although the company hasn’t released official price, we can anticipate that it will cost at least $1,000 USD, considering this is what Akrapovi charges for exhaust systems for models that are close to it, including the Yamaha Tenere 700 and Aprilia Tuareg 660.

A “progressive interpretation of a ’70s brand icon,” the stunning new Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven concept is a remarkable vehicle.

The new two-seat hypercar pays one-off homage to the company’s experimental C111, of which 16 examples were produced over two generations for various test and development programs during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It features a dramatic monolithic exterior design, gullwing doors, and a flamboyant cockpit with silver upholstery.

The Vision One-Eleven also offers hints to the EV drivetrain developments that Mercedes has earmarked for its upcoming electric sports cars. It uses two rear-mounted axial-flux electric motors from British company Yasa and a battery with liquid-cooled cylindrical cells and novel cell chemistry developed for use by Mercedes-AMG’s UK-based Formula 1 division.

The German manufacturer says its most recent design-driven idea has the potential to “take electric mobility to a new level of performance and efficiency” despite without making any specific power or range claims.

“The Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven explores new paths for the future of performance,” stated chief technology officer Markus Schäfer. It has a powerful output akin to that in motorsport.

One-Eleven’s style mixes sleek body shapes with a flush-fitting glass canopy and a number of cutting-edge aerodynamic features and accents that strongly borrow from the C111 series.

The low-set front end is designed to resemble the earlier prototypes. It has a bluff nose section with two spherical driving lamps integrated inside of it, as well as a pixelated grille that is highlighted by a sizable black carbon fibre splitter.

The One-Eleven’s explicit focus on aerodynamic efficiency is further evidenced at the rear by the three air vents that are located in each of the front corners and the twin vents that are located in front of the windscreen, which is sharply slanted at an angle of 70 degrees and continues back to form the front portion of the roof.

Wide carbon fibre sills incorporated into the wheelbase, along with wind-cheating ‘blade’ components, direct cooling air in the direction of the engines towards the back. Behind the doors, there are additional vents as well as a large back window.

The prominently curved side panels, which are integrated into the long gullwing doors and lift high to provide easy access to the interior, contrast sharply with the smooth surface of the car’s body. These forms also include heavily swollen wheel arches, which house 275/35-profile front and 315/30-profile 22-inch wheels.

Gorden Wagener, chief design officer of Mercedes, compared the 4600mm-long supercar’s arching shape to the one-bow styling of the EQE and EQS electric saloons that are now on the road.

“The element of surprise comes from its clean, purist and, at the same time, extremely muscular proportions,” the man stated. The two chairs’ squabs are built into the floor within. The seatbacks, leather-bound steering wheel, and pedals can all be adjusted so that the driver may choose a comfortable driving position akin to that of the Mercedes-AMG One hypercar, which is powered by an F1 engine.

The dashboard’s brushed aluminium rim incorporates the pixelated design from the front and rear, and a central touchscreen display that runs Mercedes’ most recent MBUX software and can be expanded with augmented reality features houses the driver information.

The small electric motor compartment in the back of the vehicle also makes room for a sizable baggage shelf, suggesting the possible duality of future AMG EV flagships.

Mercedes and Yasa are developing axial-flux motors for mass manufacturing. Because of their thin shape, they not only offer more power and torque density than current radial-flux motors but also significant packing advantages.

According to Yasa, the radial-flux motors used by Mercedes in its current range of EQ EVs weigh barely one-third as much as the axial-flux motors.

100th Anniversary Models Of The Alfa Romeo Giulia And Stelvio Quadrifoglio Are Sold Out

100th Anniversary Models Of The Alfa Romeo Giulia And Stelvio Quadrifoglio Are Sold Out

June 17, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News


Each Had A 100 Unit Maximum, And They Are All Sold Out

The first time the four-leaf clover insignia was used was on Ugo Sivocci’s RL at the 1923 Targa Florio. Alfa Romeo debuted the updated Giulia and Stelvio with a 100th Anniversary special edition in mid-April to commemorate the logo’s 100th anniversary. It’s too late to get one as the Italian carmaker is pleased to report that all 100 cars and 100 SUVs, which had a variety of improvements both inside and out, have been purchased.

It goes without saying that the limited-run model was based on the top-of-the-line Quadrifoglio. The automobiles had an option of three paint colours: Rosso Etna, Verde Montreal, and Nero Vulcano, and an Akrapovi exhaust was included as standard equipment. Alfa Romeo installed gold brake calipers to both vehicles, however the SUV received bigger 21-inch wheels while the sporty sedan received 19-inch wheels. The dynamic pair also featured the front grille and side mirror covers made of carbon fiber, as well as the matrix LED headlights that were included with the mid-cycle facelift.

The interiors of the 100th Anniversary versions were decorated with gold stitching and a custom insignia that indicated the car’s unique status. The inside of the vehicle has been modified with several carbon fiber details and a steering wheel covered in leather and Alcantara. The vehicles sport a 12.3-inch completely digital instrument cluster because they are based on the redesigned Giulia and Stelvio.

Alfa Romeo charged $85,160 for the sedan in the US (plus $1,595 for destination and shipping costs), or $3,200 more than the standard Giulia Quadrifoglio. The SUV sold for $92,675, which was a $4,500 premium above the original vehicle. The output remained same in the US at 505 horsepower. The 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 was tuned to 520 horsepower in China and Europe, though. The Giulia GTA/GTAm had 533 horsepower, but it’s still not the engine’s top specification.

The Giulia and Stelvio have aged elegantly despite the fact that the Giulia was introduced in 2015 and the Stelvio a year later. By 2023 standards, the Quadrifoglio vehicles’ performance is also rather respectable; the sedan needs 3.9 seconds to reach 62 mph (100 km/h), while the SUV needs just 0.1 seconds less. The Giulia’s highest speed is 191 mph (307 km/h), whereas the Stelvio’s is 176 mph (283 km/h).

Alfa Romeo, a company that is a part of the Stellantis conglomerate, has previously declared there won’t be a second generation of these two combustion engine vehicles. The idea is to switch to electric propulsion for the cars later this decade. A compact crossover that was hinted at earlier this month and will be on sale next year underneath the Tonale will be the brand’s first production vehicle to go without an ICE.
