The all-wheel drive system’s intelligent control works predictively, always looking ahead by means of sensors and the continuous analysis of the data collected on driving dynamics and driver behavior.
Two Kia models are among the finalists of the World Car Awards 2023. The Kia Niro is among the three "World Car of the Year" contenders, while the Kia EV6 GT is among the finalists in the "World Performance Car" category. They were nominated by 100 automotive journalists from 32 countries who evaluated a wide range of vehicles from around the world. Just voted "World Women's Car of the Year 2023," the Kia Niro, winner of the "Golden Steering Wheel 2022," is offered as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicle. With its sustainable drive modes and user-friendly technology, it sets new standards for sustainable mobility. At the "World Car Awards," it could succeed the Kia Telluride, which was developed specifically for the North American market and was named "World Car of the Year" in 2020. The Kia EV6 GT, a finalist in the "World Performance Car" category, is the brand's most powerful production model to date. It combines the driving dynamics of a super sports car with grand tourer qualities. With its 430 kW (585 hp), the Kia EV6 GT accelerates to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, reaches a top speed of 260 km/h and can travel up to 424 kilometers on one battery charge (combined cycle, according to WLTP). The battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just around 18 minutes at a suitably powerful fast-charging station.

Ford Transit - Commercial Van Safety Tests - 2022
The CUPRA e-Racer, champion of the PURE ETCR (predecessor of the FIA ETCR) last year and the first electric racing car in the world, demands the maximum from the drivers. It weighs around 1,575 kilograms and its four electric motors allow it to develop a total power of 500 kW (680 hp), making it one of the most powerful racing cars in the world. With a maximum torque of 960 Nm, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 270 km/h. Due to these characteristics, its handling is totally different from that of any other competition vehicle, to the point of being "brutal and incomparable", according to the CUPRA driver Jordi Gené. Jordi, who has been part of the development of the e-Racer since its inception, showed during the ETCR weekend at Jarama that experience on this circuit is key to obtaining the best results. The Spaniard got the pole position of the “Pool FAST”, the group in which he competed, achieving a best time of 1: 37.123.
