Volvo XC90.

Volvo has launched its latest diesel-powered car, and it was the XC90 crossover.

The last diesel Volvo was decided to send as an exhibit to the museum of the Swedish brand, which is located in Gothenburg.

Volvo produced cars with diesel engines for 45 years, now this history has come to an end: the final diesel copy came off the assembly line of the enterprise in Torsland (Sweden).

It should be noted that the European brand continues to follow its «greening» strategy, which involves reducing the number of models with internal combustion engines and increasing the number of «electric cars».

It is assumed that by 2040 the Swedish brand will develop and produce only electric cars.

According to the company’s report, by the end of 2023, sales of fully «green» cars of the Swedish brand increased by 70%, and its share in the global market of electric cars increased by 34%.

Manhart CRE 700: four cylinders with the sound of a V8 plus extra power.

German tuning studio Manhart Performance from Wuppertal has refined the plug-in hybrid sports sedan Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance and tried to get rid of one of its main drawbacks — the unconvincing exhaust sound.

Sport sedan Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance belongs to the W206 generation, that is to the last «tseshka» at the moment, it has made its world premiere in September 2022 and surprised Mercedes-Benz fans with the devaluation of the index.

In the last generation Mercedes-AMG C 63 S had a 4.0-liter 510-horsepower biturbo V8 engine (factory index M177) with a corresponding bassy growl, while the plug-in hybrid powertrain of the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance is built around a 2.0-liter in-line «four» M139, equipped with a combined supercharger (the impeller is connected to an electric motor, which compensates for the natural turbo yoke) and supplemented by a starter-generator.

Changan Uni-V 2024.

The updated Changan Uni-V has gone on sale: not the version that was expected.

«Traditional» five-door after restyling lost the top motor, while the hybrid will have a new installation.

Modernized Changan Uni-V liftback was announced in February, and now in China the sales have been launched.

Curiously, the manufacturer itself has previously promoted a hybrid model, but the first to market is a purely gasoline five-door: the electrified version will reach local dealers later.

Recall, Uni-V in the company’s range appeared in 2022, in Russia it is legally present since 2023 — and only in the «traditional» modification.

The liftback has received a new front bumper, the top version «for sport» now has rectangular twin exhaust pipes instead of oval.

Xcite X-Cross 7.

The new Xcite X-Cross 7 crossover is a renamed Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, and a pre-restyling one (still without the Max prefix): we sold such cars from 2020 to 2023.

The Xcite X-Cross 7 crossover became the first-born of the new Russian brand.

This car was supposed to be a Lada. After all, it was AVTOVAZ, which bought the former St. Petersburg Nissan plant for a symbolic 1 euro, that decided to load this site with the assembly of Chinese cars.

At first, the company was given a new name “Lada St. Petersburg” and even with fanfare they announced the start of assembly of the Lada X-Cross 5 crossovers (renamed FAW Bestune T77), but this project eventually stalled, and cooperation with FAW was stopped without announcing the reasons.

New Infiniti QX80 2024.

The Japanese brand is preparing for the premiere of the new generation flagship QX80 SUV, but for now, using the available information, we decided to imagine what the new product will look like.

The history of the full-size Infiniti SUV began in 2004, when production of the QX56 model began.

In 2010, the SUV changed generations, and in 2014, along with a planned restyling, it received a new name — QX80.

After another restyling carried out in 2018, the brand’s flagship is still produced to this day, being one of the long-lived people of the modern automobile market (14 years on the assembly line).

The long-awaited generation change will take place very soon, and we already have the opportunity to evaluate almost all the features of its appearance.

In the summer of 2023, the Japanese company showed the conceptual QX Monograph, which is a harbinger of the upcoming new product.
