Mazda CX-5 202

Hình ảnh
    Welcoming the C-X5 to the fleet - 11 May 2022 It can’t be easy being Mazda. The Japanese company tries like mad to forge its own path – building the MX-5 when no one else is producing cheap sports cars, or whacking a rotary engine into a ‘suicide-doored’ coupé, or even plugging away with naturally aspirated units when everyone else is downsizing and turbocharging. We all admire the brand and its tenacity. And then we all toddle off and buy the latest German SUV. Same old, same old. But even Mazda can’t buck the inevitable forever and is now making headway along a similar path:last year in the UK, 60% of its cars were of the SUV variety. So here we are, staring at our fleet’s new and facelifted Mazda CX-5 and wondering whether it’s going to be bonkers or boring. To be fair, it’s a family SUV, so it’s a more nuanced question than my slightly glib phrasing, but the point remains: has Mazda managed to inject enough of its cool gene to make this car stand out in what is a...

  Genesis will showcase its striking X Speedium Coupé EV concept at the   Goodwood Festival of Speed  next month, giving clues as to what future EVs from the premium Korean marque will look like.

  Peugeot has confirmed a new model called the Peugeot 408 will be revealed on 22 June, which is expected to sit between the   Peugeot 308   hatchback and   Peugeot 3008   SUV. The French maker said the model “combines the characteristic codes of SUVs with a dynamic fastback silhouette”. Previously thought to be called the Peugeot 4008 and a coupe-SUV sibling to the 3008, the 408 name announced today suggests it will instead be more focused on fastback saloon design while still being high-riding. Alongside the 408 name confirmation,  Peugeot  has released an image of the car’s front, which shows an evolution of the Peugeot’s current grille. Horizontal lines are body-coloured and become thicker as the grille extends towards the side of the car. Commenting on the model, Peugeot said: “In terms of design and engineering, the search for high efficiency and the desire to offer new experiences were at the heart of the development of the new Peugeot 408....
