BMW IX XDrive50 2022. BMW unveiled the iX electric crossover at the end of last year, but it was only a partial revelation.

We need to see the electric car from all angles, ponder some preliminary specifications and explore some technical details.

Today we learn about the iX’s final production specifications and countless other details.

We’ll start with the important, final power numbers. The IX launches on the xDrive50 spec in the US only, giving it standard all-wheel drive.

Power is 516 horsepower and 564 lb-ft of torque paired with two electric motors. Its rear engine is stronger than the front one, maximum power is 335 horsepower, while the front engine power is 268 horsepower.

BMW today announced that the iX M60 «with over 600 hp» will be the first electric crossover M. Dates for this model are not yet available.

The standard xDrive50 model does 0-60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, so expect the M60 to be closer to 4.0 seconds or less. BMW prefers to use a single-speed gearbox as opposed to the Porsche Taycan’s two-speed gearbox.

Ford Maverick 2022. New pickup: a couple of weeks left before the premiere of the Hyundai Santa Cruz competitor from Ford.

The American company will start mass production of the truck with the revived Maverick name in July this year.

Ford will very soon «remember» the name Maverick: it is familiar to many from the crossover, which was produced by the company from 2000 to 2007 (this model was also sold as the Escape).

In addition, other cars were previously called this way: for example, in the 70s they were compact sedans and coupes, and in the 80s and 90s — «clones» of the Nissan Patrol and Terrano II models.

And now Ford has decided to give the name to its new compact pickup with a four-door cab and monocoque body.

Previously, the car has repeatedly come across the lenses of photo spies during road tests.

Aurus Senat 2022. The production of Aurus Senat sedans has started in Yelabuga. The Komendant SUV will launch in 2022.

The ceremony of launching the production of a full cycle of Aurus cars was attended by their first and main consumer, Vladimir Putin.

Vladimir Putin watched the launch of production of Aurus Senat sedans remotely, via video link.

In the introductory part, the president was generous with compliments: “As you know, I drive such cars and have been behind the wheel myself many times.

This is a really decent, high-quality car that meets all world standards»

The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov, who was with other officials at the other end of the «line», that is, directly at the Sollers plant in Yelabuga, told the president that «a laboratory sample of Aurus equipped with a hydrogen fuel plant» had already been developed.

GAC GS4 Plus 2021.

GAC GS4 Plus 2021. The GAC GS5 crossover was renamed the GS4 Plus after a slight restyling.

The Chinese company GAC has presented an updated version of the Trumpchi GS5 crossover (sold in Russia as the GAC GS5).

It is curious that as part of the restyling, the model changed its name — now it is «Trumpchi GS4 Plus».

Note that in the model range of the brand there is a GS4 SUV, but the updated «ex-five» is not related to it — both cars are built on different platforms.

One way or another, the GAC Trumpchi GS4 Plus received a modified «face», and for the crossover grille, two types of design were proposed at once, which, according to the designers’ idea, are designed to resemble the different position of the eagle’s wings.

The car also got new bumpers, and the luminous bridge between the lights at the stern has disappeared.
