The new Mercedes A-Class is attractive

Very attractive as a hatchback but also with a sedan version for the first time in its range, the new A-Class coming the 2012 aims to bring Mercedes very dynamically back into the demanding small and medium segment.
Mercedes will also play its own active role in the luxury segment of small and medium cars with the next A-Class, which is expected to be very different from today. The new small and medium Mercedes will abandon the current sandwich floor (this will now be used in electric vehicles). It will be based on an all-new front-wheel-drive platform that Mercedes calls Frontwheel Architecture).

By design, the German model will adopt a more classic hatchback body with subtle coupe styling. Generally, both in terms of philosophy and appearance change dramatically for the new Mercedes A-Class which is expected to be very different from the current model, claiming, this time, and clearly more of a young audience.

From a technical point of view, the new front-wheel drive platform we referred to will also be used as a base so that “button up” new motor 1,2 and 1,4 liters with turbo and direct injection, which will come from the Mercedes-Renault partnership. also, the youngest will also be included in the range 1,8 direct injection turbo of the C-Class and E-Class, ενώ θα υπάρξει για πρώτη φορά στην ιστορία και σπορ έκδοση AMG!

End, the fact that for the first time in the car's range we will see a sedan body version is also of great interest. Nouns, this version has no commercial rival at the upper luxury end of the small-medium segment, at least until we officially see the "rumored" Audi A3 sedan.

The impressive Audi AS5 by ABT

The well-known tuning house put its "hand" on the renewed Audi A5, and improved it aesthetically as well as mechanically in a gasoline and diesel engine.
More specifically, ABT "teased" the appearance of the A5 with changes to bumpers, discrete aerodynamic aids, new side sills, new posts, new exhaust system, but also a more efficient braking system. The model rides on size rims 19 or 20 inches, depending on the customer's wishes, which are designed for the specific car.

Finally, Seat proceeded with the presentation of the new 5-door Seat Mii, which is based on the 3-door model and the official launch will take place this summer.
The new 5-door Seat Mii has no stylistic difference from the 3-door model, except for the two extra doors at the back of the car. So, the dimensions remain small and specifically its length is 3,56 meters, its width 1,64 meters and its wheelbase extends to 2,42 meters.
In each case, the Mii is essentially a close relative of the VW up! και Skoda Citigo. However it is obvious that the people at Seat have made their own interventions to the car which looks very modern and overall extremely interesting.
also, under its hood we meet, a new gasoline engine 1,0 liter in power versions 60 and 75 horses, while its consumption starts from 4,5 l. /100 km.

BMW M135i comes with at least 320 horsepower

A real explosive version of the new Series 1 this time with the accompanying M logo is prepared by BMW. The 5-door model will use a 3-liter turbo engine with power of at least 320 horses.

A few days ago, BMW has revealed the features of some new M models (eg M550d) thus attracting the increased interest of the international special press. But what the German brand did not tell us is the new explosive version it is preparing for the new Series 1. This is the M135i model for which we may not have an official photo in our hands, but we know some of its "fairytale" technical elements. More specifically, the M135i will carry a 3-liter 6-cylinder 2-fold turbocharged engine with a power that will touch or even exceed 320 horsepower, while its torque will reach 450 Nm. The presentation of the car is expected to take place at the Geneva show, with the version in question naturally positioned at the top of BMW's range 1. Will we see an even more powerful M version when the 3-door Series is launched? 1;

The diesel Skoda Octavia5

The release of diesel drives motivates those who want an Octavia5 with enhanced fuel economy and low road tax, to look at the diesel version 1,6 TDI.

+Consumption, splicing, spaces, comfort, road behavior, cost of use
-Conservative appearance, engine vibrations
Except for the “TDI” logo on the back and left, nothing testifies to the existence of a diesel engine in the Skoda Octavia5 we tested, which without a doubt aims for fuel economy. In the case of Octavia5, the engine of 1,6 l. easily copes with the family needs generated by the long body 4.569 mm. with his performance, while in addition to low consumption it also pays limited road taxes ( 107,1 euro). Nevertheless, however we do it there is an issue. And this is the 1,2 TSI petrol engine of 105 PS, so comparisons are inevitable. It is a fact that, the average consumption of the particular engine is 1,2 lt./100 km. higher and the resulting road taxes are 147,4 euro, but Octavia5 1,2 ΤSI costs 4.200 euros less (after discounts applicable to both models). If of course we are talking about the same Ambiente equipment version with which the diesel Octavia5 starts, because the 1,2 TSI starts from Comfort with which the difference reaches 5.650 euro. It is therefore obvious that a substantial benefit from the choice of the diesel version will have those whose driving menu includes many kilometers.
Motor- Performances: Saves gasoline!
THE 1,6 Octavia5 common rail turbodiesel wins impressions with its torque and fuel economy. Only at idle it sounds like a diesel, while there are also some vibrations that reach the leg. Otherwise, it's not sluggish at low revs, uploads with ease, it does not produce much noise and moves the Octavia5 very efficiently. In fact, in direct opposition to the version 1,2 TSI, the model we tested was only marginally faster at 0-100 km / h and obviously more willing to repeat (the edition 1,2 TSI has a 6-speed gearbox anyway). However, consumption is a basic quality and only reaches 4,5 lt./100 km. (CO2 emissions 119 g/km).

The new Mini Roadster

True to the brand's principles, the Roadster retains the MINI design and go-kart handling, while the manual fabric roof it incorporates follows the tradition of British roadsters.
On hearing the name MINI ten years ago, two models came to mind. Either the archetype of Sir Alec Issigonis, or Frank Stephenson's retro revival (Mini Cooper New), which when presented the 2001 charmed the public with its retro design, the beautiful curves and go-kart handling.
Yes, in the coming years, the commercial success of the Mini Cooper was so great that it did not leave the people of Mini idle. So, quickly the range of bodies began to be enriched. First with the Convertible, then with the Clubman, Countryman, Coupe and now with the Roadster. It seems, finally, that tactic that wins, you don't change her...
The Roadster is Mini's sixth model and second (after the Cabrio) which features a fabric opening roof. In fact, this is manual, intentionally by the Mini people, so that the open-close is not complicated and at the same time refers to traditional British roadsters.
The process is relatively easy in theory, since to open the roof (which will be available exclusively in black) all you have to do is unlock by turning the relevant lever on the windshield frame and lower it, while to close it press a button in front of the roll bars. Subsequently, it unfolds assisted by gas springs/shock absorbers. Last move is to secure it again. In practice, however, the whole process is relatively difficult to do from the driver's or passenger's seat, so you may have to get out of the car (or find the right technique). And this is a disadvantage in a sudden downpour.
For this, the option of a semi-automatic roof is also available, which opens and closes approx 8 and 10 δλ. respectively, while the whole process can be done with the car moving up to 30 km / h.
Regarding the external dimensions, as is the Coupe, so the Roadster is based on the hatchback version and its length is longer by 35 mm. than the equivalent of the Mini Convertible. More detailed, the length is in 3.734 mm., the width at 1.683 mm. and the height at 1.390 mm., while the wheelbase is set at 2.467 mm.
Nevertheless, unlike the Convertible, the Roadster only has two seats, while the windshield also has a smaller inclination 13 degrees. The overall height is lower by 20 mm. (1.390 mm.), while in terms of spaces, the absence of rear seats, almost doubled the trunk capacity (240 λτ.) So, now two suitcases fit comfortably, even if the luggage compartment is not completely flat.

In fact, in relation to the Convertible, thanks to the lower center of gravity, in improved aerodynamics, in the minimal transfer of the weight to the front axle and in the best rigidity of the frame by 10%, the Mini Roadster has a little more pleasantness, go-kart driving. We had the opportunity to drive it in Lisbon, Portugal and were so pleased with the chassis, as well as from the margins of adhesion and the suspension, which seems to be a bit softer than the hatchback. The steering wheel as always is direct and rich in information, the rimmed wheels on the body give the feel of a kart and so on, combined with the familiar, excellent engine of 184 horsepower of the S version you prefer the provincial network to the National Road. Wherever there is the Mini Roadster is particularly stable, while even at high speeds, the fabric roof does not sound annoying. With the roof down, the air turbulence in the cabin is limited, however you need (as in most convertibles) a hat or cap for the head.
End, in terms of powertrains, these are the same as the Coupe. More specifically, At the base of the Roadster range is the Cooper version of the 122 horses (0-100 The day for the draw of the two lucky ones 9,2 δλ. and final 199 km / h). As known, above we meet their supercharged Cooper S 184 horses (0-100 The day for the draw of the two lucky ones 7 δλ. and final 227 km / h), while at the top is placed the John Cooper Works version of 211 horses. In everything,what about the diesel options, the present will be given by the 2-liter version of the Cooper SD 143 horses (6,5 δλ. – 237 km / h) . A six-speed manual transmission is standard, while the Mini Roadster is optional (except for JCW) also available with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
