Volvo launches UK's


 Volvo says it has "taken a motoring industry lead" by launching a new online sales platform for approved used cars – the UK's first such programme from a manufacturer. 

The new service, called Volvo Cars Selekt Direct, offers a full end-to-end buying service for pre-owned vehicles, which has been designed "for ease, speed and pricing transparency". 

It's the latest step in Volvo's ambitious strategy to ramp up its online sales operations. By 2025, the Swedish company wants most of its UK sales to come from online, and it expects that by 2030, all new Volvo cars will be sold digitally.

Mercedes-AMG SL gains 2.0

Hình ảnh
  The   Mercedes-AMG SL   has gained a new entry-level variant featuring turbocharger technology that, the firm says, is directly derived from   Formula 1 .  The rear-wheel-drive SL 43 is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, producing 375bhp and 354lb ft of torque. The model also benefits from a 12bhp boost from a 48V belt-driven starter-generator. As standard, the SL 43 is equipped with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger, which,  Mercedes  says, is a world first for a series-production vehicle.  The technology, which is the same as that used on  Mercedes-AMG  F1 cars, adds a 4cm-thick electric motor to the turbocharger shaft. It drives the turbocharger directly, which, Mercedes claims, “significantly improves immediate response from idle speed and across the entire engine speed range.” Mercedes says it provides the SL 43 with a more dynamic driving experience, optimising acceleration and accelerator in...

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...

2022 Russian Formula 1 Grand Prix

Hình ảnh
  The Russian Grand Prix is set to be removed from the 2022 Formula 1 calendar in light of the country's invasion of Ukraine.  Questions had been raised over whether the event would go ahead as scheduled on 25 September, after Russia's invasion prompted calls from several drivers for the event to be scrapped. A short statement from the FIA says: "The FIA Formula 1 World Championship visits countries all over the world with a positive vision to unite people, bringing nations together.  "We are watching the developments in Ukraine with sadness and shock and hope for a swift and peaceful resolution to the present situation.  "On Thursday evening Formula 1, the FIA, and the teams discussed the position of our sport, and the conclusion is, including the view of all relevant stakeholders, that it is impossible to hold the Russian Grand Prix in the current circumstances." Yesterday, four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel said he would refuse to participate if th...
