Fisker Ronin

Earlier this month, Fisker held its first Product Vision Day event during which it presented several models, with zero CO2 emissions. Among them was an attractive convertible called the Fisker Ronin, which will be ready for series production in two years. Now the American company announced new information about this car.

The automotive company Fisker Inc was founded in 2016 by Henrik Fisker and his wife Geeta Gupta-Fisker, and is the successor of the Fisker Automotive company. The company describes the Ronin as a classic GT, updated for the 21st century and developed for customers who want to enjoy driving an electric vehicle from Los Angeles to Nappa Valley on a single charge.

The Fisker Ronin is a convertible that will accommodate up to 5 passengers. The folding hardtop is made of carbon fiber and will be controlled via a mobile phone. The chassis is made of reinforced aluminum and the car sits on 23-inch carbon rims. Sustainable materials will be used inside, and passengers will have a central display with a diagonal of 17.1 inches at their disposal.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Fisker Ronin will be powered by three electric motors with a total power of 1,000 hp (735 kW) and will have a range of up to 600 miles (966 kilometers). It will reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 2 seconds with a top speed of 275 km/h (171 mph).

The company announced that the limited version will be produced in 999 copies and the starting price is $ 385,000 USD.

2024 Avatr 12

Avatr 12 is a new electric car with which the Chinese company Avatr Technology wants to attack the European market and threaten the position held by Mercedes’ EQE sedans and BMW i5. It is an electric premium sedan that was created in cooperation with Changan Automobile, CATL and Huawei, and it is designed to go straight into the mid- and large-size segment.

This interesting coupe-limousine is 5020 mm long, 1999 mm wide and, depending on the air suspension, 1450-1460 mm high, while the wheelbase is 3020 mm. Built on the EP1 platform, the Avatr 12 will be offered with one or two electric motors. The single-engine Avatr 12 is powered by an electric unit mounted on the rear axle that develops 313 hp (230 kW). The two engine version comes with all-wheel drive and a total power of 578 hp (425 kW). The top speed is 200 km/h, and the electric motors are supplied by Huawei. It is equipped with a lithium-ion battery manufactured by CATL, with a capacity of 90.4 kWh for the base model and 116.8 kWh for the models with two motors.

When it comes to design, split LED lights surround the front grille, giving it an aggressive look. An elegant roofline, made entirely of glass, leads to a massive coupe section with narrow horizontal LED lights. Buyers will be able to choose between four different 20-inch and 21-inch wheel designs, and will also be able to spec their cars with cameras instead of exterior mirrors.

Before reaching the European market, the Avatr 12 will have a serious competitor in the domestic Chinese market, and that is the Nio ET7. Whether it will be able to cope with the competition remains to be seen, but if we consider that the previous model, the Avatr 11, did not achieve the expected results (from December 2022, only 1,753 were sold), will the Avatr 12 be another failed attempt!?

2023 BYD Dolphin

Chinese electric cars are slowly but surely conquering the European market. One of the manufacturers BYD (Build Your Dreams) presented the hatchback BYD Dolphin, a car from the C-segment that will be available in four versions with a range of up to 425 km.

It is 4,290 mm long, 1,770 mm wide and 1,570 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,770 millimeters. The trunk has a volume of 345 liters in the base, or 1310 liters with the bench folded. Capable of accommodating 5 passengers, it provides more space in the back due to the above-average height of the vehicle. The sports seats are upholstered in vegan leather, and the panoramic roof floods the interior with natural light.

The BYD Dolphin will be available in four versions (Active, Boost, Comfort and Design), all with front-wheel drive. Dolphin Active comes with a 95 hp (70 kW) electric motor, a 44.9 kWh battery and a range of up to 340 kilometers.

The fourth version of Dolphin Design will have the same technical specifications as Dolphin Comfort, but more standard equipment.

All cars will be equipped with a range of driver assistance systems, such as forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, rear collision warning, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist in an emergency.

The BYD Dolphin will arrive on the European market at the end of 2023. year, and the price will be around 29,990 euros.
