The first crossover Polestar
The new Polestar 3 marks the Swedish‑Chinese venture between Volvo and Geely entering a crossover class for the brand. As Polestar’s third model and its inaugural crossover, it is produced in China and the United States, with sales slated to begin in the latter half of the coming year. The starting price is around 85,000 USD.
The Polestar 3 presents a five‑seat silhouette in a crossover coupe form, emphasizing sleek lines and aerodynamic efficiency. Its drag coefficient sits at 0.29, a figure notably lower than several rivals in the segment.
Drivetrain and performance see a per‑axle electric motor arrangement. In the base configuration, the combined system delivers 489 horsepower and 840 Nm of torque, achieving 0–100 km/h in about 5.0 seconds. A higher‑tier variant pushes output to 517 horsepower and 910 Nm, shortening the sprint to under 4.8 seconds. A 111 kWh battery supports a WLTP range of roughly 610 kilometers, aligning with current European testing norms.
The interior features a 15‑inch vertical multimedia touchscreen powered by Android Automotive OS. The vehicle relies on NVIDIA Drive for core computing and sensor fusion, coordinating with camera and LiDAR data from Luminar to enable safety features and assistive driving technologies.
drift car from BMW
The BMW M2 in the G87 generation shows an evolution over its predecessor with revised headlights, a refreshed body kit, and a larger chassis. The inline six‑cylinder engine is boosted to produce 460 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, an increase of about 90 horsepower over the first M2 generation.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels, and the engine benefits from a substantial uplift compared with the most spirited version of the prior generation, enhancing overall performance potential.
Second‑generation dynamics retain the rear‑drive layout, drift mode, and a choice between a six‑speed manual or an eight‑speed automatic. The 0–100 km/h time with manual transmission sits around 4.3 seconds, while the automatic cuts roughly 0.2 seconds. Initial markets welcomed the car in early 2023 with a starting price near 63,000 USD.
The first electrical Jeep
Jeep introduces its smallest electric model, the Avenger, powered by a 156‑horsepower motor and a 54 kWh battery, enabling an estimated 400 kilometers on the WLTP cycle under favorable conditions.
Despite its front‑wheel drive layout, the Avenger features a selectable drive system to emulate all‑wheel drive behavior, including modes such as Mud, Sand, and Snow, aligning it with the brand’s broader off‑road capabilities.
Across trims, a 10‑inch central display pairs with a digital instrument cluster. Autonomous driving features include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and traffic jam assist. The model is projected to become a top seller for Jeep by the mid‑2020s and is slated for production in Poland with planned sales across Europe, Japan, and South Korea.
Chopped Citroen
Citroën Oli remains a concept vehicle that embodies the brand’s approach to simple, low‑cost city mobility. The design leans into playful, almost Lego‑like elements with cut‑away sections and a vertical windshield.
The 90‑degree angled glass is intended to reduce sunlight ingress and help minimize air conditioning load, contributing to energy efficiency.
The Oli concept features a 40 kWh pack with an approximate 400‑kilometer range and a top speed near 110 km/h. Described as weighing around 1 metric ton, it minimizes complexity with reduced wiring, no sound insulation, and limited power accessories. A modular approach uses interchangeable panels and components that could inform serial production decisions for the brand.
Seventh Mustang
Ford continues its lineage with the seventh‑generation Mustang, slated to arrive in summer 2023. The model maintains a rear‑wheel‑drive layout and a distinct driver environment while offering a fully refreshed design and new technology.
Available body styles include a coupe and a convertible, with powertrains that include a 2.3‑liter turbocharged four‑cylinder and a 5.0‑liter naturally aspirated V8. Transmission options range from a 10‑speed automatic to a six‑speed manual, with drive permanently biased to the rear axle.
One notable feature is a drag‑system that allows controlled power application and stability during aggressive launches. A remotely activated engine rev feature can also be accessed from the key fob. The interior centers on a large screen cluster and multimedia interface, with Ford highlighting the Unreal Engine‑driven visualization as a highlight of the cabin experience.
Ferrari’s first crossover
Ferrari, historically reluctant to enter the crossover arena, unveiled its Purosangue, or thoroughbred, marking the brand’s first four‑door model. The pivot comes with a substantial V12 engine, delivering about 725 horsepower and 716 Nm, paired with an eight‑speed dual‑clutch transmission powering all four wheels.
The Purosangue introduces Ferrari Active Suspension Technology, an electronically controlled system that helps manage body roll and stability at speed, while permitting dynamic rear wheel steering to enhance handling. The car accelerates from rest to 100 km/h in roughly 3.3 seconds and tops out near 310 km/h. Production is planned to begin in 2023 with a premium price tag around 390,000 euros.
four‑wheel drive mini electric car
Huazi Auto reveals a small electric model with an unusual design and a budget around 8,000 USD. The Huazi EV Mini Car Ohmycar measures 3444 by 1550 by 1535 millimeters, with a wheelbase of 2350 millimeters, compact even compared to the popular Kia Picanto class. The vehicle seats four in a surprisingly small footprint.
Variants include a 10.2 kWh battery for about 128 kilometers of range, while an 18.4 kWh option extends range to approximately 220 kilometers. The curb weight sits around 840 kg, and the top specification features a 34 hp motor and all‑wheel drive, with a nine‑inch touchscreen, air conditioning, and leather seats in higher trims.
Jaguar bids farewell to petrol engines
Jaguar plans a transition to electric‑only models within a three‑year window, signaling the last model year for petrol‑powered F‑Types. To mark the brand’s 75th anniversary of its sports car lineage, Jaguar introduced the F‑Type 75 edition with unique styling cues, including black details, a deep green paint, special badging, and exclusive 20‑inch wheels and sill plates.
The top version pairs a 5.0‑liter supercharged V8 with 575 horsepower and 700 Nm, paired with an automatic transmission and all‑wheel drive. Acceleration to 100 km/h is around 3.7 seconds, with a top speed near 300 km/h. Orders opened in early 2023, underscoring the model’s celebratory nature.
