EV

Aehra Sedan

The production of electric cars is on the rise, so more and more startup companies are coming to the market to present their cars. One of them is Aehra, which last year presented its first EV called an SUV, and now the Aehra Sedan is coming from their workshop.

The car is extremely spacious thanks to short overhangs, long wheelbase and completely flat floor. It has double-falcon doors, and shares the same design language as the SUV, and is built on the same platform. Also, what is common to both models is the battery, developed in partnership with Miba Battery Systems, which enables a range of 800 kilometers.

Inside, the unique full-dashboard-width HMI (Human Machine Interface) screen is the first thing you notice when you enter the luxurious cabin. It provides an exceptional atmosphere where passengers can relax and enjoy the ride. There is also an oblong-shaped steering wheel with an Aehra logo.

Definitely, Aehra brings something new that is quite simply unmatched by any other vehicle in the class. It will arrive on the market in 2026.

VW Golf only with DSG gearbox

The stricter regulations of the European Union force car manufacturers to make difficult decisions. Thus, Volkswagen announced that in the future the Golf will only have a DSG gearbox, which means that it will stop offering a manual gearbox from 2024.

According to Autocar, Volkswagen intends to stop using the manual transmission in all Golf models, even the GTI. This was confirmed by the head of technical development at VW, Kai Grunitz, who cited the stricter Euro 7 emission regulations from 2025 as the reason for this move. However, the German manufacturer could change its decision if, in the meantime, the EU determines new regulations, which is hard to expect.

This will increase the price of cars with a DSG gearbox, but it could also have a big impact on the demand for the VW Golf, as many Golf GTI fans could switch to other cars. Many manufacturers oppose the proposals, arguing they are unnecessary and will make customers pay more for their cars.

2023 Fiat 600e

Fiat will present a small electric crossover, the Fiat 600e, by the end of the year. And before the premiere, the Italian manufacturer shared a video of the exterior and interior of this model.

This is not the first time that Fiat has shown an electric SUV without camouflage, as we could see it last month during the filming of promotional shots. However, this time we have a better insight into this model from different angles.

Although some thought that the Fiat 600e would replace the larger 500X model, this will not happen because with the new generation, the 500X moves into the compact segment, leaving room for a new electric crossover. As expected, Fiat has kept the distinctive design of the 500 model, with some new additions, and the car will be built on the same platform as the Jeep Avenger. It will be powered by an electric motor with 154 hp (113 kW) and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque, and will be equipped with a 54 kWh battery.

In some markets, the Fiat 600 will also be offered with a 1.2L three-cylinder turbo engine with 100 hp (74 kW), which will be paired with a manual transmission.
