Mercedes-Benz EQS450+ First Test

Hình ảnh
   We  already tested the EQS580 , but this is our first go in the 450+. The test results were predictable. Down 187 hp and a driven axle to the EQS580, the 450+ takes 1.7 seconds longer to reach 60 mph. That's quite a disparity, given how the 450+ is nearly 300 pounds lighter, but remember: The less powerful EQS still weighs more than 5,500 pounds. Around town, there is plenty of pep for shoehorning the large EQS into gaps in traffic, but acceleration tapers off noticeably above freeway speeds. As for range, the EPA says a 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS450+ can do 350 miles on a single full charge (just 10 more than an EQS580). We put more than 200 miles on our test car during a week of parking it outside overnight in cold weather without charging, after starting with an almost-full battery pack (with about 300-some miles of range showing) and never once worried we'd run out of juice. Each night the battery would lose some range (again, we didn't plug it in). At the end of the w...

2025 Alpine GT X-Over

Hình ảnh
  Alpine has confirmed that its upcoming electric performance SUV will be called the GT X-Over and enter production at the firm’s Dieppe factory in 2025. The new model, which will use the same CMF-EV architecture as parent company  Renault’s new Mégane E-Tech Electric , is one of the first three EVs Alpine will launch as it becomes an all-electric brand. The others are a hot version of the new Renault 5 supermini and an all-electric replacement for its  Alpine A110  flagship sports car, due in 2026. The newly named GT X-Over was previewed last year as Alpine confirmed plans to launch  the hot 5 as its first EV in 2024 . A silhouette sketch hinted at its positioning as a high-riding grand tourer, which could provide the French brand with a rival to quick premium EVs including the Porsche Macan EV and Lotus Type 132. It will use the Mégane E-Tech’s 215bhp single electric motor at the front, but Renault engineering boss Gilles le Borgne has hinted at...

Kia Sportage 1.6 T-GDI

Hình ảnh
  With the arrival of the new   Kia Sportage , it's clear that the comapy execs at the apex of   Kia ’s corporate hierarchy apparently don’t like to dwell on the company's heritage, and perhaps that's understandable. Kia's rapid transformation from dumpy, irrelevant duckling to unambiguous class leader (hello  Kia EV6 ) borders on the stuff of industrial legend. Conversely, the people now tasked with marketing the company as a high-tech neophyte and legitimate premium-brand challenger feel that the less the public knows about its rustic back catalogue, the better. Sure enough, the original Sportage – built on a  Mazda  Bongo van platform – is no Benz 540K, but it’s worth looking up simply to appreciate the progress that Kia has made since designer Peter Schreyer arrived from  Audi  in 2006. The bold new Mk5 Sportage, built on a proprietary platform honed for European roads, won’t be to all aesthetic tastes, but it possesse...
