Mercedes-Benz was seriously considering the hybridization of its model range. In the plans of this manufacturer it is planned already by 2017 to replenish with 10 rechargeable hybrids a line of their models. Sedan C350 PlugIn Hybrid should be the first of a “dozen” hybrids. It will have an extremely low fuel consumption, which will be at the level of 2.8 liters / 100 km.

One of the British automotive publications recently reported that the promised earlier for this model V6 engine manufacturer all It will not install under the hood of a hybrid car. Instead, he will supply the Mercedes-Benz C 350 Plug-In Hybrid four-cylinder unit. Its working volume will be 2 liters, and the power 210 hp. This engine will become one of the components of the hybrid installation and will work in tandem with an 80-horsepower electric motor and a 7-speed “automatic”.

The sedan can only use electricity for movement. However, the power reserve in this case will be small and will be only 32 km. But a gasoline engine can always come to the rescue. Aerodynamic elements in terms of fuel economy Mercedes Benz C350 PlugIn Hybrid is very helpful in saving fuel. Fuel economy of such a car exceeds another hybrid of the Mercedes S500 sedan manufacturer.

The remarkable fact is that the C350 and C500 models have completely different power plants, while in the structure of their design the manufacturer uses batteries of the same capacity. In addition, some of the nodes present in the design of these Mercedes models. Having a direct relationship to electricity, they are also the same. The company believes that the use of such a modular approach in the construction of hybrids can significantly increase the speed of their construction and save on the development of new models.

The grandiose plans of the German auto giant to produce a large number of hybrids are probably explained precisely by this fact. In an interview with one of the automotive publications, company representatives said that the hybrid front-wheel drive family Mercedes-Benz will not have. With the change of generations. It is possible that models with front-wheel drive will have hybrids, but not in the foreseeable future. In the company Mercedes declare that the technology used in the construction of hybrid modifications, give the German manufacturer the ability to create hybrid versions of even charged AMG models.

The German company Mercedes produces not only cars, but also trucks and special equipment. On the chassis of reliable Mercedes-Benz trucks, even timber trucks are equipped with hydromechanical equipment. Today you can buy a timber carrier with a manipulator in our country. The company “V-Crane” translates high-quality special equipment. Professional service and spare parts supply throughout Russia.

Dealers of the Japanese company Toyota began selling “live cars” Toyota Prius 2017. Recall that before that they worked in the mode of accepting orders for the hatchback. There will be a novelty in the original market on the domestic market (see the photo a little higher).

The Japanese company was not even frightened of the uncertain situation that developed in the Russian market. Not embarrassed the bosses of the automaker and the big price tag that was installed on the model for the market.

You can not hope for a large selection of hybrid assemblies interested in acquiring it for car enthusiasts. And all because to be present on the Russian market the updated model will be in a unique complete set “Lux”. In salons to buy a novelty it is possible under condition of presence in a purse of $37200. Among the options for the new car is worth noting the special colors of the body color.

Although the price tag for the car is quite impressive, however it is compensated by the rich equipment of the novelty. The buyer of the hybrid hatchback receives head optics on LEDs, cruise control, a projection display, and also at its disposal a dashboard with two displays and a diameter of 4.2 inches. In the salon there is a company multimedia system. The musical components present in the salon from the company JBL, form the audio preparation of the machine and will be an excellent gift for music lovers. Leather trim predominates in the interior, and two-zone climate control can be distinguished from the options. Also, the manufacturer equips this model with light and rain sensors. There is also a heated front seat.

But, despite such a rich choice of options, we note that not equipment is the main advantage of the new Prius. Its highlight should be considered a hybrid installation. However, if we compare this car with the previous generation, then it should be noted that only in detail it was updated by the company’s engineers. The basis is still the gasoline engine with a working capacity of 1.8 liters. At work it gives out power of 98 hp. The total power of the unit at the peak of the work is 122 hp. While doing a new car, the engineers of the Japanese company carried out the VVT-i system optimization. Same was done mainly to enhance the fuel efficiency of the car.

In equipping the car there is a battery that will provide greater mileage on electric traction in comparison with the previous generation of the hybrid model.

New Chevrolet Niva 2017, NIVA Chevrolet 2017 the latest news|RSC

New Chevrolet Niva 2017 in the form  Chevrolet of a pre-series concept was shown at the end of August 2014 at the Moscow International Auto Show. Chevrolet Initially, it was planned that a compact SUV will appear in 2015. However, later the leaders of the joint venture GM-AVTOVAZ, where they are assembling the car, began to talk about the shift in the timing of the next generation NIVA Chevrolet project for 2017.

Therefore, we will talk about the new Chevrolet Niva precisely the 2017 model year. The exterior of the car, like its technical part, will be modernized thoroughly. Especially for the second generation of a unique SUV, a modern platform was developed. Now the car will be a little longer and wider. But a significant increase in size is not expected. Shiva 2017 will still be an all-wheel drive vehicle with a manual transmission. Monoprivodnyh versions, as well as automatic transmission until it will not be exact.

The most anticipated, after a new aggressive exterior, of course, is the replacement of the outdated VAZ engine, a more powerful engine. The new Chevrolet Niva in 2017 will receive a gasoline atmospheric 16-valve power unit with a working volume of 1.8 liters, with a capacity of 135 horsepower. A straight 4-cylinder engine at the peak of torque will give all 170 Nm. This is substantially more than the old engine. The economy of the new unit is provided by distributed fuel injection and a modern CVVT timing system. The dreams of some car fans about the diesel engine can not come true. The appearance of diesel NIVA Chevrolet in the short term is not even considered.Chevrolet Cruze

As for the transmission Chevrolet Niva 2017, it is already known that buyers will be offered a modern mechanical 5-speed transmission. The dispenser box will be delivered a new one. These two units will be almost a single whole. We look at the photo below. Designers of the project promise to even lock the differentials. The engine and transmission will be assembled directly in Togliatti. This will help localize production, to ensure a minimum cost of production. That in the conditions of a sharp fall of the ruble is very reasonable.

Image result for NIVA Chevrolet 2017

As for the suspension, it was decided to abandon the VAZ design in favor of McPherson. Accordingly, the steering will become a rack-and-pinion type. The rear axle will probably not be split. At least on the presented concept, it was he. By the way, on the pre-series sample, all the brakes turned out to be disk. Can the rear drums go into oblivion !?

 

The price of the new Chevrolet Niva 2017 model year is perhaps the main intrigue. Many experts believe that in order to maintain the current market share and successful competition, the new Chevy Niva 4×4 should not be more expensive than the Renault Duster with a two-liter engine and four-wheel drive 4×4. But in order to pay back serious investments in new production capacities and not scare customers away with a price tag, the management of GM-AVTOVAZ should seriously consider the optimal cost of a new generation of Chevy NIVA 2017.

Already now we can confidently say that this model is unlikely to be affordable in terms of price.

Impressions : the instructor rides first. Following him is a journalist from Slovenia. I am the third. A kind of train from several “cars”, winding circles along the ring road at the test site near Vienna.
