Beijing Motor Show News And Photos

The main culprits are the extended wheelbase combined with the very short overhangs, the wavy beltline, and the coupe-style roofline. 6%) lodges a very impressive 7th monthly win in a row (and 8th in the past 10 months), widening the gap over its main rival the Ford Ranger (-10%). Moving over to the center console, it boasts the same high-tech design as the concept car, featuring the same buttons and knobs and a small touchscreen for climate settings in the middle. Tesla says 0-60 miles per hour happens in 5.1 seconds in the long-range version (the base car is capable of the same sprint in 5.6 seconds). Why are so many members of the automotive media rooting for Tesla to fail? This is where the EQC boasts an interesting design feature, as the edges of the dash are angled toward the door panels and almost connect with the upper edge of the door handles.


A big departure from the EQC’s grocery getter design. The headlamps aren’t’ as aggressive as the sports car’s, but their slim and wide design give the front fascia a mean stance. Moving over to the I-Pace, and the British crossover immediately stands out thanks to its F-Type-inspired headlamps and unconventional trunk lid. The bumper also has a unique layout among other SUVs, as the side vents are placed higher than usual, just under the headlamps. The dashboard is a traditional three-piece layout with the instrument cluster, the center stack, and the passenger side separated by distinct features. Sure, the headlamps, the grille, and the black insert that connects them make it stand out compared to other Mercs, but we’re still looking at the same classic layout. Familiar features includes the instrument cluster and infotainment display assembly, with two 10.25-inch screens placed behind the same glass to form a single, really wide screen.


This is the first Jaguar to feature the InControl Touch Pro Duo infotainment system - almost the same dual-screen interface found in the Range Rover Velar - and the stunning screens boast crisp graphics. It also features Amazon Alexa Skill, which enables owners to ask an Alexa-enabled device for information held in the Jaguar InControl Remote app. The Gorillaz App today launches a new Jaguar Land Rover recruitment area in the form of a 360-environment situated in the garage of the band's home which also features all the iconic vehicles from Gorillaz past. The passenger side of the dash looks rather small due to the big A/C vent in the corner, but the glove compartment area is stylish thanks to the genuine wood lid. The electric range will reach 400 km according to the new WLTP cycle, while full recharging will be possible in under 30 minutes, thanks to the compatibility with 150 kW stations.


The navigation system assesses the topography of the route to destination and insights from previous journeys, including driving style, and calculates personalized range and charging status with accuracy. You’ll be able to find out if the car is locked, the charging level of the battery, or if you have enough range to get to work. The EQC looks like a more modern GLC with the high-tech aspect of electric cars, while the I-Pace wants to stand out as an F-Type-inspired crossover that acts like a low-slung hot-hatchback. It’s also a bit more than two inches lower. The two crossovers are significantly different design-wise. 40,000 starting prices, these vehicles lack the style and luxury-lined cabins of pricier electric crossovers from marques such as Tesla and Jaguar. Following the massive success of the F-Type, nearly all of its crossovers borrowed styling cues from the two-door sports car. For many car enthusiasts, electric car racing is interesting but seems to lack the visceral drama of classic motorsport, with fire-spitting engines and screaming exhausts.
