Nissan Max-Out 2023.

Nissan introduced the technological concept Max-Out: an unusual design and a futuristic interior.

Back in November 2021, Nissan presented renderings of an unusual concept roadster, and now the Japanese have already shown a physical copy of such a car.

The show car called «Nissan Max-Out» has a striking appearance, in which a number of retro solutions are effectively combined with futuristic developments.

Stylistically embodied “in metal”, the car completely repeats the car from the mentioned renderings. She has the same wedge-shaped body with clean surfaces.

The car draws attention to itself with a huge front fairing, which integrates the front cladding with the windshield. And it also has a bright backlight.

In the interior of the roadster, two chairs are installed, and their pillows are integrated into the floor, and the backs can be transformed.

The front panel is one large display, and the car’s steering wheel is made in the form of a steering wheel.

Most likely, the Nissan Max-Out Concept 2023 is a slow-moving layout.

New Kia Sportage 2023.

New Kia Sportage 2023.

Last year, sales of the new Sportage started on the Russian market.

Moreover, by that time, the Korean company was able to organize the assembly of the car at the Kaliningrad Automobile Plant.

But for well-known reasons, the supply of the crossover to the domestic market was discontinued. But now the Russian media have announced the return of the 2023 Kia Sportage to our country.

An important feature of this version of the crossover is that it is not adapted to the domestic climate.

That is, the Korean model may not be as reliable as the one that was sold last year.

But despite the foregoing, they asked for 4-4.5 million rubles for it, depending on the modification and the car dealership where the crossover is sold.

So much money will have to be paid for a car, under the hood of which lies a 190-horsepower 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, complemented by an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

Geely Proton X90 2024.

Geely made a large crossover Proton X90.

The Malaysian company Proton, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, used to produce clones of Mitsubishi cars.

Then there was a period of independent engineering, but in 2017 Proton became part of the Geely holding and has since gradually switched to the production of Chinese cars.

The range already includes SUVs X70 (aka Geely Atlas) and X50 (aka Geely Coolray). Now they are joined by the third, largest crossover — Proton X90.

This is a converted and adapted Geely Haoyue (aka Geely Okavango in export markets) with a length of 4825 mm.

Outside, the Proton X90 differs from the original headlights with a different pattern of running lights and a new grille, although the front bumper is retained. Nameplates and small decor have also been changed.

Except for the transfer of the steering wheel from the left side to the right, the Proton interior differs from the Geely decoration only in the emblem on the steering wheel and more stingy decor.

Volkswagen Bora 2023.

Volkswagen Bora 2023.

Overview of the Volkswagen Bora sedan for the Russian Federation: the Chinese version of the Jetta for 2.5 million rubles.

The current (fourth) generation Volkswagen Bora sedan was introduced in 2018, and in 2022 it underwent a planned restyling.

The model is the closest relative of the VW Jetta and is intended for the Chinese market, where it is assembled at the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture.

Note that at the moment, pre-reform sedans are imported to Russia by the Avilon company. They are delivered from the Celestial Empire under the scheme of parallel imports, and in fairly large batches.

The Chinese-made Volkswagen Bora 2023 is positioned as a replacement for the Jetta. The latter was officially sold on our market, but quickly disappeared due to logistics problems that arose during the coronavirus pandemic.

Design and salon

Visually, the VW Bora 4 in the new body largely repeats the Jetta, but it does not have a single common body part with the global model. Moreover, the sedan from China has many unique features.

However, with a cursory examination of the model, it is not easy to distinguish from each other. Both are made in the current design style of the German brand, so they have a wide “lip” under the number and triangular foglight sections.

Smart #3 2024.

All-new Smart #3 2024: the exact date of the debut of the cross-coupe has been announced.

Smart, an all-electric vehicle company, intends to expand its range by introducing the new Smart #3 at the Shanghai Auto Show next month.

According to leaked images from China’s Ministry of Information Technology, the Smart #3 will be larger than its predecessor, slightly shorter than the Volkswagen ID.5.

The new electric car will feature a sleek, coupe-like design with a steeply sloping windshield and a sloping roofline.

The new model is 170mm longer than the Smart #1 for a sportier and more aerodynamic look.

A leak from last year suggests that the #3 will come with at least two powertrain options, which likely means one and two engines.

The Smart #3 is a coupe version of the #1 crossover and the second production model in the automaker’s new era.
