2022 Nissan Range reveal
The new Nissan LEAF represents flexibility and confidence – whether in the city or on the highway. Two battery options are available, both offering excellent range and everyday usability. With DC fast charging of up to 150 kW, the new Nissan LEAF can charge up to 417 kilometers (preliminary figures) in just 30 minutes at suitable charging stations. At 130 km/h on the highway, the range is more than 330 kilometers, and thanks to fast DC charging, journeys of over 800 kilometers can be completed with minimal time difference compared to vehicles with combustion engines. The combination of impressive range and spacious interior makes the new Nissan LEAF a practical and comfortable choice as a primary household vehicle, suitable for both daily commuting and long-distance journeys. Intelligent battery temperature management ensures fast, consistent charging across a wide temperature range. By connecting to the Google Maps route planner, the battery is automatically adjusted to the optimal temperature when approaching a fast-charging station, optimizing both charging speed and efficiency. The integrated Google system also helps with planning long journeys by automatically identifying the optimal charging stations along the route. The integrated Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function allows you to power small to medium-sized electrical devices such as kettles, portable lamps, or electric grills while camping or on outdoor excursions. Using an optional adapter, devices can be conveniently connected to the external V2L port and supplied with up to 3.6 kW of power.
Sportiness and sustainability do not contradict each other; in combination, they characterize the understanding of luxury in the course of electric mobility at Audi. The e-tron GT proves this with its leather-free design package. The sport seats plus with 14-way adjustment are upholstered either with a combination of artificial leather and the Kaskade material or with a mixture of artificial leather and the microfiber material Dinamica. Recycled materials are used in both cases, for example polyester fibers that were made from old plastic bottles, or textiles, or residual fibers from selvages. There are 119 recycled plastic bottles in each Kaskade upholstery set. The Dinamica material is similar to Alcantara, while the Kaskade material, whose seam design is based on the look of the Singleframe, is reminiscent of natural fibers such as wool. The upholstery of the sport seats pro is made of a combination of two types of leather. The RS design package comprises microfiber material on the hood of the instrument panel carrier, the steering wheel, and the center console trim, with red or gray stitching adding highlights. The floor carpet and floor mats are made from Econyl in both models. This material consists of 100-percent recycled nylon fibers from production waste, fabric and carpet remnants, or old fishing nets.
Mercedes-Maybach is expanding its product portfolio with a fourth model – the new Mercedes‑Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series is the sportiest model in the brand’s history to date. The open-top two-seater interprets the iconic silhouette of the SL in an extraordinary way. Athletic proportions merge with exquisite aesthetics and maximum comfort. The Mercedes‑Maybach SL opens up a whole new world of cruising in the open air. It combines a dynamic driving experience with everything that characterises a Mercedes‑Maybach: skilled craftsmanship, high-quality materials and exquisite design details. In line with the brand philosophy, it offers a holistic, sensual experience. The market launch in Europe has already begun with other markets to follow successively. The Mercedes-Maybach SL is an extraordinary combination of beauty and sportiness. This is notably expressed by the two curated design concepts: “White Ambience” presents itself in a new interpretation of the typical Maybach two-colour paintwork with obsidian black metallic in the upper section of the vehicle and MANUFAKTUR opalite white magno in the lower section. In “Red Ambience,” obsidian black metallic contrasts elegantly with MANUFAKTUR garnet red metallic. Developed for the first time for the new Mercedes‑Maybach two-seater, this tinted clearcoat is characterised by its vibrant, rich colour and a special depth effect. The interior conveys a special feeling of lightness and space. The extensive use of crystal white, sustainably tanned MANUFAKTUR Exclusive Nappa leather creates an airy, elegant ambience. It not only enhances the seats in their new, floral design but also the door panels, the centre console and the space behind the seats. This creates a generous feeling of roominess and, at the same time, the typical Maybach cocooning effect. The galvanised seat backrests and trim parts in silver chrome provide a glamorous contrast. The elaborate upholstery of the seat surface and backrest, typical of the brand, ensures maximum seating comfort. The seat side panels are lowered for easy entry and exit.
