The new Peugeot 308 Plug-in Hybrid

With a new design, the new Peugeot 308 is the first model launched by the French to bear the company's new logo. The second generation of the Peugeot 308 is preparing to retire after eight years to make way for the new model.

The new 308 has a completely fresh design. It received daytime running lights with the LED light signature in the form of lion's fangs. The grille is much more imposing and reminiscent of the 3008 and 5008 SUVs.

Customers are given the opportunity to choose from sixteen body colors. Olivine Green and Vertigo Blue are the launch colors, and the palette is completed by Elixir Red, Pearl White, Black Pearl Black and Artense (silver). Wheel sizes start at 16 inches and can reach up to 18 inches. The new Peugeot 308 is 11 cm longer than its predecessor.

Inside, the French have prepared a nonconformist design as we have become accustomed to in recent years. The dashboard has been redesigned to comply with the design theme of the other models. Built-in is the 10-inch touch screen of the multimedia system. The eight-color ambient lights, the induction charging of the phone, the Focal audio system with ten speakers and the electrically adjustable seats are just some of the features that the new 308 can offer.

The new Peugeot 308 is based on the EMP2 platform and will be powered by a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder petrol engine, available in two power versions: 110 hp and 130 hp. Two plug-in hybrid versions are also available. Both use an 81 kW electric motor powered by a 12.4 kWh battery. The basic one develops 130 hp, and the most efficient, 180 hp. Thus, combined, the two hybrid versions develop 180 hp and 225 hp. The new Peugeot 308 Plug-in Hybrid promises an electric range of 60 kilometers.

XEV begins serial manufacturing of its YoYo electric car

Image
  The IAA was once the stage for major Italian brands, at whose stands fans and customers flocked to be amazed: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, and Fiat will be absent from the IAA Mobility in 2021. But another Italian holds the position. With the Yoyo, the young company has developed an electric city vehicle that is built in China. A steel frame serves as the basic structure around which the body is then assembled with parts from the 3D printer. With a length of 2.53 meters, the two-seater XEV Yoyo picks up on the original idea of ​​the Smart, and as "half a car," is, therefore, primarily at home in narrow city traffic.

Ford Puma STline X EcoBoost Review

Image
 Put it this way-this may be the last crossover review you must read. The Ford Puma is like a golf or 3 series station wagon. It is one of the cars that makes everyone very satisfied.   What is even more surprising is how long it took Ford, the most popular car manufacturer in the UK, to make a good crossover. How long has the Nissan Juke been around, nearly ten years? By this time, the tall hatchback had become the new, uh, hatchback. But Ford has had a great time and has had some tragically failed attempts to catch up.   Ford produces very good cars. Not waste time. Carnival, Fox, SMax, even Mondeo; may not be exciting, but they are hard to choose.   On the other hand, Ford has an impressive cross-border track record. EcoSport is so bad, Edge is so bad that Ford gave it up (this must be one of the only cases where an SUV was pulled off the shelf in these 4x4 obsessions), and only Kuga has shown any talent, but he's just about to do so. Be replaced by its dated cabin, but for now

Furion M1 - hybrid motorcycle - performance and fuel consumption

Image
The problem with hybrid vehicles is that two engines take up a lot of space, and because of this the French from Furion opted for a Wankel engine, which produces 125 horsepower and 105Nm of torque. Also with which they plan to put to work an electric motor capable of another 55 horsepower and 100 Nm. A simple estimate indicates a superbike power, 180 hp along with a torque of 205 Nm, which would make a KTM 1290 Super Duke R, a reference in this chapter, envious. This is because Super Duke R offers only 144 Nm. Fortunately or unfortunately, Furion is just a start-up in the crowdfunding phase - what does that sound like, and I can't help it, but it has done enough to hope for something concrete. This is also because, despite its performance, the Furion M1  hybrid motorcycle  will consume around four litres of petrol and since the M1 can be operated exclusively in electric mode, the French are talking about 480 kilometres in urban areas! Otherwise, the motorcycle is quite common, with
