GENESIS' FIRST STEP TOWARDS AN EV FUTURE, THE GV60!

-

 The All-new Recently Revealed All-Electric Cross-Over From Genesis, the GV60. 

The latest offering from Genesis is the recently revealed GV60, an electric cross-over from the Korean auto maker. The small electric SUV is supposed to represent the brand's move towards an all-electric future as Genesis plans to switch to an all EV brand by 2025.


OVERALL DESIGN:

Genesis says this particular design is based on 'Athletic Elegance' and it is the most dynamic and futuristic design based on that Athletic Elegance. The vehicle uses cameras as side mirrors instead of the traditional mirrors as on the other Genesis models but generally, the GV60 does show that it is a Genesis vehicle with the brand's signature design, the quad headlights and taillights and the big grille, obviously, but lower down this time.

The car's design sure has caused a bit controversy as some think the overall design is not really appealing to the eye while some think otherwise. We would say it is on the average, mediocre, it is not the best looking EV out there but also it is not the ugliest, surely!


Moving on to the inside, the GV60 takes a different route as opposed to its siblings, the design is different from what we usually see on other Genesis models. Getting inside you are faced with a wide centre screen one with the gauge cluster to form a big single screen, usually these are separated on other Genesis models as we have said. You also have the floating centre console with a flat floor underneath and a slim cockpit. One of the key features of this interior is the Crystal Sphere shaped gear selector called the "Shift By Wire (SBW)" as Genesis says, interestingly, that Crystal Sphere becomes the vehicle's mood lights when the car is off. The overall interior design is quite impressive, it looks good.


POWER SPECS:

The GV60 will use the already existing Hyundai's 800-volt EV systems. That should be good for 577 HP (424kW) with a range of up to 512 KM (320mi).

Now just something to note, the 'G' on the name stands for 'Genesis' and the 'V' stands for car's versatility as Genesis says whereas the '60' represents it as being the brand's lowest offering in their line-up. 

The GV60 is expected to go on sale some time next year.

Welcome the new CLE Coupe & Cabriolet model from Mercedes. Mercedes-Benz has finally been unveiled the long awaited CLE Coupe for the 2024 model year and it arrives in style with a load of technology, as one would have expected. The new luxury Coupe bridges the gap left by the, now discontinued, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and E-Class Coupes and Cabriolets from their previous generations, i.e. the W205 and W213 generations. That can also give you an idea of the car's size but in numbers that is: -4.9m in length -1.8m in width -1.4m in height The CLE features a shark nose-like design evident by the forward leaning front section like most of the Mercedes cars of late. Looked at carefully, the front end design is very similar to that of the brand's CLA Coupe. On to the sides, the Coupe retains a design very similar to that of the W205 (C205) C-Class Coupe more especially on the c-pillars. At the rear, the design is a new one, the CLE Coupe features taillights similar to those found ...

  Citan vs Caddy? Which one? Will the new revised Citan shake the Caddy's sales? The Citan is based on the Renault Kangoo as one can see from just the overall profile of the Citan. The engines are also from the French auto maker but that's not new, Mercedes has been using Renault engines for quite a while now. Both vehicles are available in either passenger or cargo configurations. #MercedesBenz #Citan #Volkswagen #Caddy

The rare & forgotten Japanese AMG.

 Hello readers, today we will take a look back at one of the rarest AMG tuned cars ever made, the elegant Mitsubishi Galant AMG.  Yes you read that right, AMG! Let us take you on a history lesson for a second shall we? You see, back in 1989 before AMG became a Mercedes only in-house tuner in 1999, Mitsubishi struck a deal with them to tune the Galant to make it better.  The Mitsubishi Galant AMG was produced from 1989 to 1991 in a very limited number. Only 500 units were made and they were only sold within the Japanese market. The German tuner reworked the internals of Mitsubishi's 4G63 engine to make more power, yes the engine was not built from scratch by AMG under the One Man, One Engine principle.  AMG also made a few touches to the Galant's exterior. The suspension was also reworked. Unlike the other AMG "touched" Mitsubishi, the Debonaire V 3000 Royal AMG, the Galant had a lot that was done to it. We shall talk about the Debonair on another day. With AMG's m...
