New Concept of e Drive in BMW

Political correctness can sometimes make strange bedfellows. Take, for example, a notorious 'Chelsea tractor' - one of the heavyweight, fuel-slurping, inappropriately luxurious, all-wheel drive monsters the bunny-huggers love to hate - and combine it with an eco-friendly plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Sounds kinda oddball, but that's exactly what BMW has done in the Concept5 X5 eDrive, due to debut at the Frankfurt motor show in a couple of weeks.

The concept has a Twinpower turbopetrol four hooked up to a 70kW electric motor, developed in-house by the BMW Group and fed by a high-voltage lithium-ion battery under the floor of the boot that stores enough amps for a maximum range of 30km or a top speed of 120km/h (but not both at the same time!) on pure electric power.

Working together, they can take the X5 eDrive from standstill to 100km/h in less than seven seconds; BMW also quotes average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres - which says more about the EU test cycle than it does about the car.

Honda Jazz 2014 Best Japaes Car

 2014 Honda Jazz (2014 Honda Fit) found their way to the internet last month through magazine leaks. Since then, Honda have themselves released images and details of their new B+ segment hatchback.

Here is a documentary of the 2014 Honda Jazz/Fit Hybrid shot by the Japanese media. Needless to say, only Japanese is spoken and our comprehension of the language extends to the use of the words Hello (konichiwa) and Sir/Madam (san).
However, you can watch the new Jazz spin its wheels and attack a few corners at the testing facility in the clipping.
The Jazz in this video is a hybrid vehicle using a 1.5-liter petrol engine mated to a Honda i-DCD (intelligent dual clutch drive) 7-speed transmission. Honda has announced that the Fit hybrid would deliver 36.4km/l based on the Japanese JC08 driving test. This is possible thanks to the constant engaging and disengaging of the motor and the engine. You can also see a real time infographic which shows where the Jazz’s hybrid system is sourcing power from.
For India, the Jazz would make its comeback in 2014 with a diesel engine and there is a good chance you can catch it at the Auto Expo in February 2014.
