Mitsubishi will launch an electric SUV in 2026

Mitsubishi plans to electrify half of its fleet by 2030 and become a fully electric brand by 2035. The first step towards this is announced for 2026, when an electric SUV should hit the market. This is the manufacturer’s second EV after the i-MiEV.

By 2028, the Japanese manufacturer plans to launch nine EVs, including two on Renault/Nissan platforms, a two-row SUV, as well as a mid-size pickup that will be developed in cooperation with Nissan and will be produced in Mexico.

Although the company is still hiding a lot, some information says that it could be similar to an electric crossover that will succeed the Nissan Leaf. Nissan’s electric crossover will debut by the end of 2025, when production will also start.

What we know for now is that the new SUV will be built on the AmpR Medium platform. The same platform is used by the Nissan Ariya, Renault Megane E-Tech and Renault Scenic E-Tech.

More information coming soon.

2026 BMW M3 CS Touring

A few days ago, BMW introduced its best sports wagon, the M3 CS Touring. The car brings several improvements that promise a new level of performance.

Before working on the engine, BMW reduced the car’s weight by 15 kg thanks to carbon components that include a new hood, front splitter, front air intakes, side mirror housings and rear diffuser. There is also a new front grille, LED daytime running lights, and a new rear lip spoiler.

The M3 CS Touring also received improved electronically controlled shock absorbers, a front crossbar that increases body rigidity, an exhaust system with adaptive valves, a rear silencer made of titanium, more powerful brakes, and buyers can optionally choose carbon-ceramic discs.

When it comes to the powertrain, the M3 CS Touring is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-L 6-cylinder engine with 550 hp and 650 Nm of torque, which means it is more powerful than the M3 Competition. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels. It reaches 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, 200 km/h in 11.7 seconds with a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). The car is mounted on a new set of lightweight 19″ and 20″ wheels.

Speaking of the price, the BMW M3 CS Touring in Germany starts at 152,900 euros, which is 50,000 euros more than the M3 Touring.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta will not return to the market

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta debuted in 1954 as a 2+2 coupe, followed by a four-door sedan and roadster. The second generation was launched in 1977 as a sedan, while the hatchback version was revealed in 2010. Production continued until 2020, and it is now officially the last generation of this model.

Although in 2023, former Alfa Romeo CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato announced the return of the Giulietta, this will not happen because customers are increasingly opting for SUVs. This means that the Italian company will give more space to the current only model in this segment, the Alfa Romeo Tonale.

In an interview with L’Argus, Alfa Romeo CEO Santo Ficili said: “Honestly, at this moment I don’t see a future for the Giulietta, because there is no demand for a compact sedan. Today’s Giulietta is actually the Tonale.”

Facili also added: “I owned 20 Giuliettas, they were fantastic cars, even today. However, we have to follow the demands of the market, and customers want SUVs. We have to sell cars.”

Alfa Romeo is currently developing a new flagship SUV/crossover for the American market, which should debut in 2027.
