New PEUGEOT 308 @ MIMO 2021
With the Q5 Sportback, Audi presents its third crossover utility vehicle, or CUV for short, after the Q3 Sportback and the e-tron Sportback. The dynamically drawn coupe is aimed at customers who appreciate expressive design and technical innovation as much as sporty character and high everyday practicality. At the top of the range is the SQ5 Sportback TDI3. Its three-liter TDI offers the concentrated power of 251 kW (341 PS) output and 700 Nm torque. The Audi Q5 Sportback radiates a strong presence typical of Audi's Q models. Large air intakes flank the octagonal single frame. The headlamps with their distinctive daytime running light signature shine with LED, optionally with matrix LED technology. The continuous, elegantly swinging shoulder line emphasizes the wheels and with them the quattro drive. The side skirts on the doors give the CUV stability and robustness. The greenhouse stretches flat over the body and lowers again early, the third side window tapers off to the rear. The steeply sloping rear window and the bumpers, which are optically pulled far up, make the Q5 Sportback look dynamic and powerful.
A number of new technologies optimize the precision and control of the chassis in a wide variety of weather and road conditions. The standard electronic damper control (Electronic Control Suspension, ECS) in the GT-line version increases comfort and safety thanks to the continuous damping control. The system reacts to body movements and steering inputs and changes the damping behavior at lightning speed in order to counteract the vehicle's diving, pitching and rolling movements when cornering. It also adjusts the damping force in the case of obstacles in order to cope with them as comfortably as possible and to reduce the influence of post-vibrations on the wheels. A premiere for the Sportage is the “All-Terrain-Mode”, which will be available for the plug-in hybrid version with all-wheel drive. The system offers intelligent support when driving off-road or on snow by automatically optimizing the vehicle settings depending on the selected mode and thus helping the SUV to achieve maximum traction on muddy, sandy or snowy surfaces.
Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) has presented an operational management system that will serve as the basis for the provision of different services through its e-Palette battery-electric autonomous vehicle, with Autono-MaaS applications —Autonomous Mobility As A Service—. This new e-Palette application will make possible the mobility services of the future and, thanks to the collaboration with several partners, will allow the deployment of different units of the e-Palette in Woven City, the prototype of Toyota's city of the future, fully connected and sustainable , with a view to its commercial use in multiple areas and regions in the coming years. Proclaiming his purpose to transform Toyota into a mobility company, at CES in Las Vegas in January 2018, TMC President and CEO Akio Toyoda announced the e-Palette as a symbol of mobility that goes beyond conventional vehicles, to offer customers services and added value.
