Mercedes will introduce two hybrid version of its E-Class at Detroit next. One petrol and one diesel. Europe and America.

For more than two years since the hybrid variant exhibits Mercedes E-Class and wondered if we could start still on the agenda. This hybrid is the originality with the German mark because it is a diesel hybrid PSA alone and so far it has taken the step of marketing - and again, the beginning of 3008 and DS5 regular shift.
The technology is new, builders who have subscribed will dry plaster technique and want to avoid missteps. Waiting is really justified and will not be very long because Mercedes will present the final version in the coming days in Detroit.
But surprisingly, the two hybrids will take place on the catwalk of the company's Stuttgart. Along with the diesel E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID will be found is E 400 Hybrid version.

[caption id="attachment_1140" align="aligncenter" width="560" caption="2012 Mercedes introduce two hybrid E Class 2"]2012 Mercedes introduce two hybrid E Class 2[/caption]

Both share a re-light hybrid system Hybrid 400 S. A slightly more powerful electric motor of 28 horsepower and lithium-ion batteries are the same of 19 kW and 0.8 kWh, would be placed under the hood as the class S. They use the 7G Tronic automatic transmission plus (revised for use) and can run on any power up to 35 km / h in a very short distance (1 km).

[caption id="attachment_1142" align="aligncenter" width="580" caption="2012 Mercedes introduce two hybrid E Class 3"]2012 Mercedes introduce two hybrid E Class 3[/caption]

For the gasoline version, Mercedes has chosen for the new V6 petrol engine (306 horsepower) in contrast to the S-Class with the older generation. The average consumption drops to about 7.7 litres/100 km (U.S. conversion), little of that month the S-Class but with supperior torque and power. The diesel side, Mercedes announced an average of 4.2 l/100 km. This one liter less than the 250 version of the CDI diesel shares the same unit (2-liter 204 horsepower).

E-Class hybrid will run on all electric. For this, the trick is the same as the Infiniti M35 hybrid: a second clutch interposed between the two machines. Because when they are disconnected from each other, the electric motor can easily cause the car and recharge the batteries better.

The diesel version will be marketed in Europe and gasoline in the U.S. and in China and Japan.

2012:Tested Renault Twingo

[caption id="attachment_1123" align="aligncenter" width="520" caption="Tested Renault Twingo French city 2012 1"]Tested Renault Twingo French city  2012 1[/caption]

Tested for you on the streets of the French Basque Country Renault Twingo city car new 2012, which debuted on the market that promises to be full of news with rival Volkswagen Up! Fiat Panda and the New

Renault's new Twingo 2012 test drive through the streets of Bilbao
The third-generation Twingo at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao? Do not exaggerate. Of course, you can do a combination. A great work of art first, which could very well be the host city car Renault if not in one room, along with Kandinsky variety or sculptor Brancusi, Romania, at least on the Puppy, the flowers resemble the statue of a dog. Renault to launch the car you choose the path that converges towards Bilbao, neural pathways, all the ups and downs, because all the roads of the Basque Country. Therefore fertile ground to test it thoroughly, for the benefit of readers Infomotori, the new Twingo, a third car in the segment, which make an appearance in the Italian market in a month, after Volkswagen and Fiat Panda up.

[caption id="attachment_1128" align="aligncenter" width="570" caption="Tested Renault Twingo French city 2012 2"]Tested Renault Twingo French city 2012 2[/caption]

Introduction price for three months from January, only € 8,500
Twingo 2012, due to go on sale in late January for attacking prezzaccio, but only three months, € 8,500 to € 10,950 and then, in line with the recent two rivals, Twingo, we say, do not you bring a new legacy: 3.65 million units sold since 1993, the birth of the first generation, which followed later in the year 2007 a second series.

There are many supermini rivals, the Volkswagen Up New Fiat Panda
Now comes the Twingo, a newly published, which will have a difficult task. If it were 12 participants in 1993, now more than 26 and all are very aggressive, up from Volkswagen and Fiat Panda are the same. Compared with the second French city car has a strike price, although for a limited time, invincible, however, only has three doors and five seats and only four, not five, while the navigator offers more standard.We thought then that should have a larger interior space Twingo, mainly for two passengers who sit in the back seat and diesel engine 1.5 liter 75 hp Multijet certainly more cheerful than Panda. From an aesthetic point of view, the new Twingo, 3.70 meters long, the style of Renault reveals renewal. The sign on the hood of the diamond enlarged and stood in a black background.

The new front end design
The front of us seem more expressive and dynamic, almost cheerfully, highlighted by the addition of two fog lamps placed in high positions. Then added reverse lights mounted on the tailgate. Interior enhanced by combining the dynamic between the material and color. The bridge looks like we are important and simplified, but at the same time elegant. Sure ugly, but fortunately it was just a request, a new compartment lid is placed on the dashboard in front of the driver consists of a series of rubber spikes.
More than 30,000 custom
This exciting program is not a car customization to the motto: "To each his Twingo".More than 30 000 variants, by stripping the roof of the circle, the color range of interior shapes. There are also versions of sports, from Rs, which will come in the first half of 2012, Gordini which costs less than 14 000 euros, up by Rs Gordini, more desperate. The new Twingo is also able to boast excellent equipment, although the list of standard accessories (such as Panda, but not on the up), no Esp, which is also offered on all versions of the low price of 350 euros. In addition, Renault town car offers from the first level, manual air conditioning, radio cd mp3 and cruise control.

Twingo range consists of two equipment levels: Waves and Live. Three petrol engines: 1.2 liter 75-horsepower, 1.2 and 1.6 Tce 100-16-valve 133 horsepower. In contrast, two diesel engines: 1.5 DCI 75 hp, which offers a record of consumption of 3.4 liters per 100 km, and 1.5 DCI 85 hp.

Under the leadership of Renault Italy, 90% of the Twingo, which will be sold in our country will be represented by a petrol version 1.2 with 75 horses, he will sell for 2012 250 000 between new and old models. An absolute novelty in the entire Renault range is the introduction of version 1.2 of Energy by the engine with 75 horsepower, which emits only 105 grams of CO2 per km. As mentioned above, in the streets of the Basque Country we tested on the new Twingo: strength, flexibility, grip and panache are the hallmarks of the new model Renault perculiari.

Behavior on the road
All engines benefit from continuous improvement, progress, related to aerodynamic optimization performed in parallel, allowing for significant reductions in fuel consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases, without compromises in terms of driving pleasure, an example is the engine oil of 85 horses, that among different machines is what we like best. Oil power unit reveals the potential for brilliance, especially in the mixture; in city driving but managed this Twingo is very elastic. The maximum speed is 170 km / h, but Diesel Twingo is also capable of firing at low speeds, while keeping track with a good deal turns dangerous, and suddenly the road Basque.

We were surprised not interfere with the tire rolling noise, probably caused by the surface of the road a bit 'rough. Interior, we have noted, there appears a vast rear seat can be moved forward or backward by 20 cm, Or. For the sake of the rear passenger or luggage compartment. In short, the car, this third-generation Twingo, which faithfully reflects the slogan that will feature the launch campaign, "personalities in the movement."
