Through an official statement, we the "increased power of the combustion engine and the electric motor," which would be around 200 hp, increasing its power by about 75 hp, though this will be known only in the upcoming Paris Motor Show.

The first teaser of the hybrid model
the small firm coupe Honda has always been a car with an environmentally conscious. The proposed hybrid is, undoubtedly, a sacrifice of the interior of the rear passengers, as they have eaten part of the rear passenger compartment and seems designed only for two children.

Furthermore, the new hybrid model will feature a 1.5 iVTEC SOHC engine with a hybrid engine, with a full hybrid powertrain, led to a total respect for the environment. The Honda CR-Z, with zero emissions ...

Hybrid Design

The design of the new Kia Sorento has been no secret since June. But the technical adjustments tribute Kia still in silence. Until today. And then immediately apparent that the Sorento is addressed more thoroughly than just a visual facelift.

If a car is as successful as the Sorento you would hardly expect so much work that Kia makes a facelift. Since its introduction in 2009, three years ago, Kia sold worldwide from less than 620,000. South Korea, the United States and China are key markets and more striking is it also true that Kia car a more European perspective has given. Fine, if you ask us for the new front, new rear and the wheels and new exterior colors make the Sorento mouths definitely better than its American design somewhat original.

Also new on the inside ...
But that the exterior is renewed, we knew al KIA what we did not want to say is what it looks inside and subcutaneous gone on ahead. The interior is also quite the kick went. Kia promises more soft and high quality materials, but we also see a completely new center console and center console. In addition, the instruments are renewed and the optional 7 inch screen in the center console with the latest technology. If the equipment arrives at the model now also offers Kia and with heated front seats, heated rear seats, air conditioning for the third row and a new huge panoramic glass roof.

Platform
The biggest news is invisible. The Sorento is common to a new platform. And thats a huge step for a facelift. Unusual even! But it is of great importance. The car is much stiffer and thanks to new anchorages for the suspension and new dampers and springs, the car is actually a lot better ride. Part of this is also the improved control and the ability to optionally choose to Kias Flex Tar system. With Normal, Sport and Comfort features one-touch control that best suits you.

Engines cleaner and more economical
the engine range of the Kia Sorento is indeed the same, but all engines have been renewed. Cheaper and cleaner, of course was the highest on the priority list. In the Netherlands we will probably again be given the choice of one petrol and one diesel. In this case we count on the 2.2 liter turbo diesel with 197 hp and 436 Nm. Those in powers is as strong, but in terms of torque 6 Nm was won. Most important is the CO2 emissions of 171 to 153 g / km and thus decreased significantly will affect the retail price. The 2.4 liter petrol engine is now 192 hp and 242 Nm strong and therefore more powerful 18 hp and 12 Nm. The CO2 emissions decreased again with only 4 g / km. The forces of which are motors are still being transferred to freely set the front wheels or all four wheels. If you opt for all-wheel drive will get Kias electronically controlled system in the event that the needs for the propulsion forces are divided. A 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic is available in both cases.

Autumn
the new Kia Sorento will enjoy its world debut at the Paris Motor Show at dealers shortly afterwards to be wheeled. The prices are not yet known but, given the reduction of CO2 emissions from the diesel Sorento model, we expect that a lower entry price than € 42.995, - which currently counts Kia.

Opel Car Company unveiled the newest Opel Zafira 2012 Tourer. Zafira Tourer first exhibited in the autumn 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Cars to be launched for the European market is available in a choice of three engine type, engine power from 110 Hp to 165 Hp. type of engine has 130 hp and 165 type turbo engine 2.0 L CDTI diesel engine 110 hp, 1.4 L Ecotec turbocharged petrol engine

The new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer is a seven seat MPV, designed to compete with other large people-carriers, such as the Ford S-Max and Seat Alhambra.

The middle row of seats is made of up of three individual seats, which slide independently. Up front there’s a smart – if slightly complex – dashboard, and comfortable and supportive seats for mum and dad. This keeps the Zafira Tourer cheaper than larger MPV, such as the Alhambra and VW Sharan.

What’s it like to drive? A 138bhp 1.8 petrol and a 108bhp 2.0 diesel complete the engine line up, although available on the cheap trims.

Stick to a version with 17-inch wheels and the Zafira Tourer deals with bigger bumps well, and the body is quite flat over the corners. Choose the right engine (i.e. the 2.0 CDTi 130 Ecoflex) and the Zafira Tourer makes sense for families who need only occasional seating for seven.

It’s reasonably clever and broad, and work out cheaper than our favourite MPV – the Seat Alhambra – once you’ve factored in discounts.

Add the word Tourer to a model range and it normally said estate car. but not for 2012 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, more stylish, bigger people carrier range.

The existing slab-sided seven seat compact Zafira remains on sale with a reduced line-up of models.
There is the choice T 1.4 liter petrol or 1.8-liter, 140PS power supply two, three 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine three power output, 110, 130 and 165PS.

The overall length of the Zafira Tourer 4658 mm, all three rows of seats in the seven-seater Zafira Tourer wearing a boot space is minimal, but more than enough to shop, but with rear seats folded and it its most popular used five seat configuration the boot and load space is 710-litres.

Access to the second and third rows of seats comes via conventional hinged rear side doors, sliding doors are very useful for newcomers.The forward opening, hinged rear door to the back side rather small Meriva wouldn’t allow easy enough access to the third row of seats say Vauxhall.

No longer a bench seat, it now comprises three individual seats that can slide longitudinally by 210mm independent of one another and can folded flat, making the floor even load.

A potential highlight for some people of the new Zafira Tourer will be the Lounge Seating system which is standard on the top two levels of specification. This provides second-row passengers with the kind of seating space normally found in a large executive saloon car.

With Lounge Seating the three seats in the second row transform into two comfortable seats with lots of extra legroom and shoulder space. There are numerous options including an upgraded navigation system with traffic alert.

For handling, steering feed-back and ride comfort the Zafira Tourer with Exclusiv specification cannot realistically be faulted.

In most areas the Zafira Tourer is impressive; premium quality and style, comfort, handling, fuel saving and so on.
