Renault Clio 89 g

Even in its variants wiser, the restyled Clio displays a more aggressive face.

In pursuit of the bonus

The bonus / malus change in 2012? This is an ad that reacted manufacturers, including Renault. The French manufacturer lowers CO2 emissions of some Clio and Modus, to get aid more attractive.

The interior does not change in appearance. However, he finally gets a color navigation system, supplied by TomTom. The mark on the steering wheel, seats more enveloping and aluminum pedals feature the unique GT version.

The ritual is immutable: every time a hardening of the bonus / penalty is announced, builders rush to reduce CO2 emissions by some models, to return to more favorable slices. The publication of the 2012 fee schedule has caused a commotion of combat, especially in Renault. In its "low consumption", the Clio dCi 90 including falls from 94 to 89 g per km of CO2. Next year it will benefit from assistance from € 400, when it should have to settle for € 100 without this development. On Modus dCi 75 and 90, the decrease is more discreet. We go from 107 to 104 g / km, which will still get a bonus of € 100.

To rejuvenate its rear face, the little Renault merely changes rather discreet.

Good news for buyers? Not necessarily. At present, we were unable to join the Renault press office to find out the changes. But the hunt CO2 sometimes leads manufacturers to dangerous excess. On many models of Diamond, longer gear ratios has seriously undermined the raises: a Mégane Coupé dCi 110 2011 27.9 calls for example from 80 s to 120 km / h in sixth, when he s was 16.2 a year earlier. Same conclusion in the fourth, where he must now 12.3 s instead of 9.2. While in other brands, it is mainly tires low rolling resistance that annoy, ruining braking distances. We will certainly not measure these revised Clio and Modus, to check that there is no compromise on safety.

Future Mercedes GL

Relief ... Camouflage


With its 2.5 tonnes, the GL is the mastodon of the range Mercedes. But no drastic dietprogram: better equipped than its predecessor, the next generation of 4x4 just for now to ease his disguise.

Built for the great outdoors U.S., the GL lives in the shadow in France. In the first sixmonths of the year, Mercedes has passed just 48 copies. This is ten times less than its main rival, the Audi Q7! However, the next generation of this giant will not change radicallyformula. Launched in late 2012, it still amply surpass 5 meters long, and keep a profile close to that of the current model. However, the camouflage of lighter latest prototypesreveals much finer taillights, mirrors larger, and a redesigned grille and headlights.

Like its close relative, the ML 3, GL 2 will also receive an interior completely redesigned.The vents turn from round to rectangular, the screen of the navigation system will be greater and all orders will be upgraded. Always able to accommodate seven passengers,will receive this great 4x4 latest technology: night vision, blind spot monitoring, automatic braking, reversing camera ... It will also adopt a standard Stop & Start, which will helpadvertise drinks less. But sobriety will clearly not a priority, especially as a unique versionof AMG over 500 hp on the agenda.

Seat Altea XL Electric Ecomotive

Electrically yours

Made in small quantities, the Seat Altea XL Electric Ecomotive to be used to gain experience and information.

To create its first electric model, Seat has chosen from the base of the Altea compact MPV, in its long-XL. But the series is still far: only a small experimental series will be manufactured.

Apart from the grille and hidden decoration "flashy", this variant does not differ much from thermal versions.

While some manufacturers have already begun to integrate models in their range, most brands are still far from this phase. Seat is the case, which today unveiled its Altea XL Electric Ecomotive. Aesthetically very similar thermal versions, the compact MPV is aimednot only a great business career. It will just be made ​​a handful of copies that will be used togain experience on this technology. A strategy also used for the Hybrid Leon Twindrive presented simultaneously.

Depending on the decision, charging the battery takes between 2 and 8 hours.

Subaru Advanced Tourer Concept

Ready for a break 

At the Tokyo Motor Show, Subaru introduces the concept of compact wagon, called Advanced Tourer.

Advanced Tourer concept is not a fan of Futurism: This compact wagon seems to be transformed easily into production model. But it also announces the modernization of lifts of the brand.

The four passengers were accommodated on seats that seem to float.

In its first two generations, the Impreza five-door station wagon resembled a fury. A choice that was not renewed for the following two drafts, much more traditional line. The return of Subaru in the compact segment of movers is not excluded, as evidenced by the Advanced Tourer concept, presented at the next Tokyo Motor Show. With 4.58 m long, this study is similar in effect break the format of the Ford Focus SW, Renault Mégane and Peugeot 308 SW Estate. In addition, the line is generally realistic, with a look that evokes the BRZ and cut a sporty profile, without excess.

As the front face, the stern has some similarities with the coupe BRZ.

Even if the Japanese firm did not confirm, but seems ready for commercialization.However, it is mostly technically this Advanced Tourer Concept seems to have a promising future. Indeed he inaugurated a four-cylinder boxer "only" 1600 cm3, a reduction in displacement offset by a turbo and the shift to direct injection. Here, this innovative movement is also associated with an electric motor powered by lithium-ion batteries capable of operating only for short distances. Which does not remain true to Subaru all-wheel drive, a feature dear to the brand.

Seat Leon TwinDrive

The hybrid states

TwinDrive: the Volkswagen group, this term refers to a plug-in hybrid technology. It is found today in Seat Leon on a prototype that does not lack interest.
The hybrid in Seat? For now, it's a technology reserved for studies of style, as the IBL orIBX. But the Spanish brand has well equip its production models, as demonstrated by the presentation of a TwinDrive Leon. Although it is still in the prototype and model-basedlate-career, this variant appears instructive. The tuners should indeed be on the third generation of the compact Iberian by 2015. Rechargeable in the sector, it has a range of 52 km in electric mode. In this case, speed is limited to 120 km / h and power does not exceed 115 hp. It will help block the 1.4 TSI 115 hp gasoline it increases to 170 km / h and reaches 163 hp combined.

The Leon TwinDrive simply two electric motors on the front, while the Golf of the same name (see our test) possessed three, including two integrated into the rear wheels. A simplification that allows in particular to reduce costs and non suspendues.Tout massesby claiming that fuel consumption and CO2 emissions average particularly low: respectively 1.7 l/100km and 39 g / km. Numbers to qualify seriously, because they benefit from a particularly favorable approval cycle for plug-in hybrid. In normal operation, it would be better to rely on 5.9 l/100 km, enough anyway to get a total range of 900 km.
