Russian dealers have a shortage of crossovers Renault Duster. As explained in the representative office of Renault, this is due to increased demand for Dusters at the end of last year. According to the dealers, the remaining cars of 2019 will be sold out in early February, and the cars assembled this year only started to be shipped from the Moscow Renault plant, so that the deficit will be eliminated only by the beginning of spring.
Maserati will release a limited batch of cars in the Edizione Ribelle version for North America. The series includes 225 cars: 100 Ghibli S Q4 sedans, the same number of Levante S crossovers, as well as 25 flagship four-doors Quattroporte S Q4. The new version is intended for buyers who want to stand out from the crowd, but the set of changes is pretty standard: the bodywork and wheels are black, the darkened chrome exterior elements, red brake calipers, black and red trim and carbon fiber inserts. At American dealerships, cars with the prefix Edizione Ribelle will appear at the end of March.
In Europe, on the charging station, future electric station wagons lit up Porsche taycan. Two five-doors are covered with light camouflage, however, in general, almost nothing prevents them from discerning their appearance. The cars are notable for the shape of the roof and additional rear windows; luggage rails are installed on the roof. And additional plastic pads for bumpers, wheel arches and sills are striking – obvious signs of the cross version. The debut of the station wagon is due to take place this year.
The first spy photos of the future compact SUV appeared, which will replace the Citroen C4 Cactus model. Last year, representatives of the French company said that the compact cross-hatchback will not have a direct heir, but this does not mean that Citroen leaves this popular segment. In tests in Northern Europe, a similar prototype was seen with a falling roof line. It is assumed that the new model will be built on a modular platform CMP, which it will share with the Peugeot 2008 and DS 3 Crossback crossovers.
Remember last year’s story with the UAZ Hunter SUV, which was re-qualified as a truck to circumvent new safety requirements? A similar story in Europe awaits Suzuki Jimny. This model does not correspond to the promising eco-standards that will be introduced from 2021, therefore, according to preliminary information, the all-terrain vehicle in the local market will remain only in the form of a commercial modification without rear seats, because the requirements for trucks are more liberal. However, the replacement of the aspirated 1.5 with a more modern and economical turbo engine is not excluded, but if such a modification appears, then not immediately.
According to the Moscow Center for Traffic Management (Data center), all imitations of cameras that record violations in the metropolitan area will be replaced by real devices by the end of the year. According to the data center, now in Moscow there are 3040 video recording complexes installed, of which 424 devices do not take pictures of violators, they only monitor the traffic situation, and another 387 – explicit dummies without filling.
