Bestseller of the Russian automobile market Lada Granta officially lost two options at once. The SW hatchback and station wagon have disappeared from the brand’s official website. In fact, their production ceased in 2022, but last winter the resumption of hatchback production was in AVTOVAZ’s plans. Now you can forget about this version. The loss of the basic station wagon is not so serious, because the raised Granta Cross with the same body remains in the range. Also in service are a sedan and a liftback.
Coming Volkswagen Golf The ninth generation will become an electric car and completely replace not only the current fuel model, but also the ID.3 electric hatchback. This was stated by the head of the company’s technical development department, Kai Grünitz. According to him, in the current market there is not enough room for two or three different models aimed at the same customer, although maintaining both families was previously considered.
And at the other extreme of automotive values is the extreme Volkswagen Golf R (320 hp, 420 Nm), which will be updated after its civilian counterparts. The eyes of the Volkswagen R division Reinhold Iwenz said that the all-wheel drive hot hatch should gain an increase in power in order to maintain distance from the Golf GTI (265 hp) and Golf GTE (272 hp), which have become more powerful after restyling. However, the question is whether the Erka will retain a six-speed manual transmission, since the GTI has already lost it.
Just the other day a teaser of the updated coupe was published Aston Martin Vantage, and now the restyled supercar showed up at the 24 Hours of Daytona racing marathon. Although this is not a road version yet, but a GT3 class racing car. But even this was enough to get an idea of the new front end, where the main external changes lie. The front of the updated coupe returned to the design roots of the Aston Martin brand, gaining rounded vertical headlights instead of angular horizontal ones. The premiere of the production car will take place this spring.
Head of the company Honda Toshihiro Mibe pleased the public with the announcement that the company was considering the possibility of creating an electric sports car.
