If there's a Volkswagen Polo GTI, will there be a SEAT Ibiza Cupra?

We know that the Polo will have a 1.5 TSI version with 150 hp that will not reach the Spanish market, and there will not be an equivalent diesel engine to fill the gap. In the Ibiza we will have that version in the FR, and at the moment it is the most powerful […]

If you want a Toyota D-4D (diesel) keep these in mind

Interview: Lucas Ordoñez

And then Nissan and Sony's GT Academy came along. When the Spaniard started to fight against the clock at the wheel of his console, he probably wasn't aware of how far he was going to go seven years later. Today he is no longer an unknown. In fact, I will say that […]

Toyota S-FR

Recall that when work began on the GT86 project was promised a price of $ 25,000 once put on sale, but when it came to market we found 30,000 €, too much for many potential customers. The S-FR is a two plus two, longitudinal front engine located behind […]

More SUVs were sold in Europe in 2015 than compacts or subcompacts.

In 2014, which wasn't that far off, those percentages were 19.81% share for SUVs, 22.73% for subcompacts and 21.3% for compacts. But SUVs have grown by 24% in 2015 compared to 2014, while compacts and subcompacts have only grown by 6%. So, little by little, SUVs […]

Valve egr: what is it, what is it for and how does it work?

What is the egr valve? To understand what the egr valve is, first of all it is necessary to explain that egr is an acronym that stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation. This acronym already suggests what the egr valve is for. The egr valve is a mechanical component […]

Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

Honestly, when I returned the 140 horsepower diesel Cherokee I didn't cry. I didn't look back. It is not a car that caused me a special feeling or left me a pleasant memory to miss it. Comfortable and comfortable to drive quietly on the road, it had good ways to […]

Vauxhall VXR8 GTS-R, the ultimate expression of the traditional Aussie saloon

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a torque vectoring limited slip differential, meaning the wheel with more grip gets more torque. So much muscle allows it to do a 0-60 mph time of just 4.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 mph. The braking system consists […]

People are crazy: This is how they light a cigarette with a Nissan GT-R.

I don't know if it's called Johny the daring guy who sticks his hand with a cigarette in one of the exhaust outlets of a Nissan GT-R with a few tchotchkes in its engine. But I wouldn't be surprised if they were related, even if distantly. The Nissan GT-R in […]

Contact: Toyota Proace and Proace Verso

Toyota took advantage of Fiat's non-renewal of its medium-duty van (MDV) agreement with PSA, an agreement dating back to the 1970s, to enter this segment with a much more modest investment. The French welcomed the Japanese with open arms, and the know-how of these […]

Dodge Challenger GT AWD

And for that what better than borrowing from its "brother" the Dodge Charger AWD all-wheel drive system, using the same BorgWarner Torque On Demand intelligent transfer case. Under normal conditions, it sends 100% of the torque to the rear axle, behaving like a […]

What did the original Aston Martin DB4 G.T. lightweight look like?

You can hear a symphony, worthy of the London Philharmonic, but on six cylinders. An exhaust sound that enamors along a short ride with an unmistakable English style. You can hardly compose something so beautiful with so few shots, as it doesn't feel like it's […]

Imminent opening of the largest drive-in cinema in Spain, located in Madrid

The first film to be screened will be "Grease", which although we will have seen it many times on television, in a drive-in cinema surely many of us have not. The price is free per vehicle, you pay per person, and the prices are similar to those of a conventional […]

Fresh from Alicante, we got behind the wheel of the cee'd 1.4 CVVT (100 hp), 1.0 T-GDI (100 hp) and 1.6 CRDi (136 hp). Yes, you read that right, there are two engines with identical power, and both are petrol engines. It is a very rare phenomenon in our market, […]

A few months after the scandal broke, Volkswagen, in collaboration with the Federal Transport Authority (KBA), prepared updates for the 2.0 TDI CR, 1.2 TDI CR and 1.6 TDI CR engines, in that order. These are the EA189 family, the first of less than six cylinders […]

Spain, France, Italy, Germany and Eastern European countries push to increase car emissions

Today all the masks have fallen off, and we have seen what each country is asking for and how it justifies its position. In part, some of the results were predictable, but on the other hand, it makes you blush. Let's go to the source of the issue: from 2017 […]

Hyundai i30 Wagon 2017

The i30 Wagon, designed, developed, tested and built in Europe - just like its five-door version - comes with a big fact up its sleeve. It has one of the largest boot sizes in the segment: 602 litres, which can grow to 1,650 litres with the seats folded down. The […]

Contact: Fiat Tipo 1.6 MultiJet

It's a simple concept, but with more cache. If we see the Fiat Tipo on the street, we won't think it's an economical car. By economical I don't mean spartan, it's quite surprising the quality/price ratio, Fiat has made an effort to make a really competitive product. […]

PSA's HDi engines, sin-free in France

"The results of the tests carried out by the Technical Commission chaired by the French Minister of Ecology, Ségolène Royal, have been communicated to us and show the absence of any anomaly in PSA Peugeot Citroën vehicles". The same press release notes at the […]

Test: Volkswagen Polo 1.0 MPI 75

There are versions of the Polo for almost every taste, from the humble basic 60 hp and Edition finish, to the 192 hp GTI. I'll be analysing it from the point of view of a young man who uses this car for his regular journeys, a circumstance I've simulated with great […]

Contact: Renault ZOE z.e. 40

According to the NEDC homologation, it is capable of 400 kilometers in mixed cycle, but there must be very favorable conditions, such as having dinner with Angelina Jolie and she pays the bill. In a more realistic use we are talking about 300 kilometers of range […]

Contact: Suzuki S-Cross 1.6 DDiS

And Suzuki officials determined that it wasn't aggressive enough, that it needed a more SUV-like design, with more edges, that would appeal to the eye first. That's why they've made it almost unrecognizable when viewed from the front, with a more imposing grille […]

Italdesign and Airbus bring the future closer with Pop.Up

Jeep Cherokee 4×4 diesel 140 hp

Tastes change and evolve, no doubt, but just when it might seem that after this crisis some customers might change their way of thinking and become buyers of more logical and sensible products, the SUV craze exploded. In the United States this obsession with buying […]

Contact: Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI DSG 4Motion

Its predecessor, based on the Golf VI, reached a Spanish market share of 10.7%, and of those, less than 10% were sold with the off-road package. This time, Volkswagen Spain believes that they will get up to 30% of sales of that version, and the overwhelming majority […]

Dog in the car? Here are 5 tips to get rid of hair and odors

Bentley Bentayga Diesel, coming soon on your mirrors

With a fuel consumption of "only" 7.9 l/100 km, it's the most economical in its class. Considering it weighs 2.4 tonnes in running order and with that power, it's ridiculous; a 170bhp Pathfinder 2.5 dCi gets that or more. Well, I stand corrected, it's 7.9 l/100 […]

Which are the provinces where more cars are sold in relation to their population?

In order to solve this curiosity, we have spent some time compiling data in a table and making mathematical combinations to meet two criteria before drawing conclusions (some of them obvious, others not so intuitive at first). The first table I want to show […]

Raising US speed limits cost 33,000 lives in 20 years

But before we go any further, we have to go back a few years. October 1973 was the beginning of the oil crisis, when Israel defeated the Arab countries that attacked during Yom Kippur, a holy day for the Jews. OPEC did not forgive the allies of the Hebrews for […]

Kei cars to the European? Why not?

The Biscuter or the Isetta were immediate successes that mobilized entire countries, before the growing purchasing muscle of the working classes allowed them to move up the ladder and begin to mobilize on a massive scale with the Volkswagen Beetle, Renault 4/4, […]

Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo, new for Geneva

It only has 20 litres more capacity, 520 litres for the whole range except for the plug-in hybrid, which remains at 425 litres due to the space occupied by the batteries. Up to the roof, 50 litres more would be noticeable, which is not a big difference either. […]

Test drive: Ford Ka+ 1.2 Ti-VCT

At first it was a model that was not going to be sold in the old continent, but seeing the rise of the A-segment, Ford changed its mind. And it did the right thing The first detail we notice is that it's no longer called Ka "a secas", now it's Ka+. And why Ka+? […]

First anniversary of the #Dieselgate case, explained for dummies

Being aware that following the whole case and its multiple news stories from the beginning is a real gibberish -even for those of us who are dedicated to this- I thought it appropriate to make a summary of what happened in a year, but explained in simpler language. […]

Will we see Hydractive suspension again at Citroën?

After the commercial demise of the Citroën C6, the only model of the French empire that still uses the hydropneumatic suspension is the Citroën C5, and optionally. In all of 2014, 10,000 C5s were sold with the high-end suspension, so the numbers don't justify […]

Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SuperVeloce roadster

And yet the Aventador SV Roadster exists, and it has its clientele. Because that's what Lamborghini is based on in many cases: creating jewels that exceed expectations and reason. The new beast from Sant'Agata inherits the same V12 as the "closed" […]

Cancelling AdBlue/SCR is a moral turpitude, but is it worth the savings?

A truck like the one in the picture, an IVECO Stralis XP, comes fitted with various systems to reduce as far as possible the poison coming out of the exhaust pipes. For truckers, that comes at a cost in terms of urea or AdBlue. We are not talking about a few litres […]

What is unsprung mass and how does it affect the vehicle?

What about the SEAT Ateca 2.0 TDI 4×2?

SEAT initially communicated that demand for this model could not be met, which is completely absurd, given the Volkswagen Group's production of 2.0 TDI engines. The reason in reality is that this version could not be homologated, possibly because it does not meet […]

The Rocket Bunny logo is that of a condom brand.

But what I hadn't noticed, and maybe you haven't either, is that their logo is... it's that of a condom brand. While documenting for the Mazda special, we came across several photos of the RX-3 and other heavy artillery of the Japanese touring car championship, […]

A month with the Subaru WRX STI

But they lacked an international identity. This was the beginning of the Japanese obsession in the eighties to get into any kind of international competition. It could be F1, where Honda had been participating for years, it could be Le Mans, or it could be rallying. Nissan […]

Volkswagen Tiguan GTE Active Concept, now with adventurous spirit

This SUV is characterised by its more defined wheel arches, reinforced bumpers, a roof with additional lighting and storage bars. Also noteworthy is its appearance 16-inch alloy wheels, shod with high profile tires, prepared for all types of off-road terrain. Mechanically […]

Mercedes A45 S Class AMG: it dazzles you with its 421 hp

AMG has redefined the parameters of the compact sedan segment, because with class A45 S has created an extreme product, in every sense. Its “small” 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine has been brought to the disarming power of 421 Cv per 500 Nm of maximum […]

Finally there will be no VAG 2.0 Turbo engines with 400 hp

Combining that power with reliability is expensive, and right now VAG isn't about to squander the money. Stephan Reil, head of engineering at Audi Quattro GmbH, has confirmed to Autoblog that the development will not go ahead, it's officially a dead project. […]

ALASKAN Concept, a preview of Renault's global pick-up truck

The AdBlue trap, a necessary evil?

One such system is selective catalytic reduction (SCR), which uses an additive injected into the exhaust to neutralize nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 90% or more. That additive is a 32.5% solution of urea in demineralized water, a bit purer chemically than the product […]
