In the Inuit language, Nanuk means "polar bear". The new Nanuq White color for the MINI Cooper SE in the Resolute Edition is reminiscent of the light-colored fur of the impressive inhabitants of the northern polar regions. Even in the extreme sub-zero temperatures prevailing there, the electric drive, high-voltage battery, power electronics and charging technology impress with reliably high performance. Its 135 kW/184 hp electric motor is equally impressive. It accelerates the MINI Cooper SE from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.3 seconds. The powerful character of the polar white special model is thus brought out particularly intensively without any interruptions to the gearshift. Drivers of the iconic MINI 3-door can individually change the vehicle's responsiveness through the various MINI Driving Modes, choosing between the impulsive SPORT Mode through MID to the very economical GREEN+ Mode. The range of up to 234 kilometers determined in the WLTP test cycle enables MINI-typical driving pleasure far beyond the city limits.
The stage is set for a new body shape from the Volkswagen brand: With the new compact crossover Taigo, Volkswagen is launching an SUV coupé on the European market for the first time. The front-wheel drive Taigo is a real crowd-pleaser with its trendy crossover body style, raised seating positions, pioneering connectivity and unrestricted suitability for everyday use. The rear of the five-seater car slopes backwards in the style of a coupé, without restricting headroom in the back seat. This sees Volkswagen expand the portfolio of the compact Polo (hatchback) and T-Cross (SUV) models built on the MQB platform with a third chassis variant, which has previously been primarily reserved for high-end models. Numerous latest-generation assistance systems guarantee optimum comfort and a high level of safety for all passengers.
The ŠKODA ENYAQ SPORTLINE iV is the sportiest version yet of the new, all-electric SUV from Mladá Boleslav. Its look is characterised by a range of black design features and large wheels, while the lowered sports chassis makes for a particularly dynamic driving experience. The interior adds to the sporty feel, thanks to decorative, carbon-style trims, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and seats with integrated headrests. ŠKODA’s new flagship model range now includes a SPORTLINE variant, offered in three performance levels. The ENYAQ SPORTLINE iV 60 has an output of 132 kW, while the ENYAQ SPORTLINE iV 80 produces 150 kW. Both feature rear-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive ENYAQ SPORTLINE iV 80x is equipped with two electric motors generating a combined output of 195 kW.
