Citroen e-C3 2024.

Citroen e-C3 2024 is presented in Europe as a budget electric car with a range of 320 km.

The fourth-generation Citroen C3 will initially be available in electric form and is similar to the new C3 already on sale in emerging markets.

Citroen has unveiled the new all-electric supermini Citroen e-C3 with crossover-like features at a starting price of less than 25,000 euros or 2.5 million rubles.

Apart from the electric car, the French automaker has also confirmed that there will be a petrol variant of the Citroen C3 in the future.

The EU model is closely related to the Citroen New C3, which debuted two years ago and is already available in India and South America.

The roof, profile and proportions of both models are almost identical.

Evolute i-Jet 2024.

The Evolute i-Jet electric crossover is ready to debut.

The Motorinvest company announced the imminent start of sales of the Evolute i-Jet crossover, which was first announced back in two thousand and twenty-two.

Like other cars of the Russian brand, the upcoming new product is a copy of the Dongfeng concern’s model — DFSK Seres 5, which is also known as “Seres SF5”.

The latter was developed with the direct participation of Huawei specialists and has been produced in Chongqing, China since two thousand and nineteen.

On the Chinese market, the crossover is offered as a sequential hybrid equipped with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine. But its electric version is intended exclusively for export markets.

The “Russian” Evolute i-Jet 2024 is precisely an electric car, although photographs of a pre-production copy of the model were previously published online, and it was a hybrid (it had a radiator grille, which is not included in the EV version).

Volvo EM90 2024.

The Volvo EM90 minivan was revealed ahead of schedule: the model was made from “Chinese”.

As expected, the donor for the Volvo van was Zeekr 009. And the Zeekr brand is owned by the Geely Auto holding, which also owns the Swedish brand. The MPV premiere will take place in a month.

The Volvo EM90 minivan was officially announced at the end of August, and the first teasers were published at the same time.

In September, new “fragmentary” pictures were posted online. Well, now full-fledged photographs and main characteristics have appeared, they were leaked by the Chinese Ministry of Industry.

Let us remind you that the Volvo van is an electric car, because the Swedish brand will no longer make “non-green” new models. And it is China that will become the main — if not the only — market for MPVs.

EM90, as expected, turned out to be the brother of the Zeekr 009 electric van, which launched in the Middle Kingdom last year (the Volvo and Zeekr brands belong to Geely).

BYD Song L: a spectacular Chinese cross-coupe in the style of the KIA EV6.

One of the premieres of the Shanghai Auto Show 2023 was the electric coupe-shaped crossover BYD Song L.

The model received its name in honor of the Song Dynasty, which ruled eastern China from 960 to 1279.

In profile, the presented cross-coupe quite closely resembles the KIA EV6, and the similarity with the “Korean” is also facilitated by the blackened front roof pillars.

In turn, the front part of the car is memorable for its aggressive bumper with massive side air intakes.

There is also an illuminated radiator grille and narrow headlights with noticeable vertical marks (like on BYD Han).

The design of the stern is somewhat reminiscent of the Porsche Caeynne Coupe. Mostly due to the similar shape of the LED lights, made in the form of a single strip.
