2020 SEAT Ateca Interior Design
It’s refresh time for the much-loved SEAT Ateca SUV as the 2020 edition has been unveiled with new technology, new design elements and a new XPERIENCE trim line.
With a cw value of 0.22 and above, the S-Class is one of the most aerodynamically efficient vehicles of all, especially in the luxury saloon segment. Aerodynamic measures on the body, underbody and add-on parts enable it to perform well in the wind tunnel and in real traffic. Extensive flow simulations on high-performance computer clusters were carried out at an early stage of development. Much fine-tuning was also carried out on the aeroacoustics. The previous generation of the S-Class already offered a very high level of noise comfort in the interior. The new model is even quieter. Although the frontal area (A) of the new S-Class has risen slightly to 2.5 m², it has been possible to reduce air resistance once again compared to the predecessor. The product of cw and A is 0.56 m², which is 200 cm² less than the predecessor after the model upgrade. One focus of the aerodynamic work was on the airflow in and around the front bumper. The space between the front wheel arch and the bumper is used as an air collector. In the bulges in the outer area of the bumper are slots in the side walls. These lead ram air into this space and prevent the airflow in front of the front wheels from becoming detached. At the same time a part of the hot exhaust air from the engine compartment is led into the air collector. This is supported by a better sealing of the engine compartment to the wheel arches. The starting bodies in front of the front wheels each have a large exhaust air opening with a 3D suction spoiler in front of it.

Toyota has unveiled the long-awaited GR Corolla sports car, promising a spirited driving experience by combining essential GR Yaris underpinnings with an athletic five-door version of the world's best-selling nameplate. GR Corolla's performance credentials include a strengthened version of the homologation-special three-cylinder GR Yaris engine, as well as the GR-FOUR all-wheel-drive system, front and rear Torsen®1 limited-slip differentials and six-speed manual transmission with a short-stroke gear shift lever. A valve-equipped triple-exhaust muffler improves airflow, unleashing maximum output of 220kW from the intercooled turbo engine, a gain of 10 per cent.
