The New SsangYong Rexton: Presented Moscow Motor Show 2012. With over ten years in the automotive market, the Rexton, the large SUV from the Korean company, adapts to changing times. The result of their evolution has been seen at the Moscow Auto Salon 2012, an event that focuses on the automotive industry until September 9 that closed its doors, setting chosen to submit major changes, both aesthetically, and especially mechanical level, adapting to the trend that had already begun SsangYong with its other models.

With this development, the SsangYong Rexton, a large SUV, leaving behind this model was followed from its origin, the Mercedes ML, moving to look at the immediate family, the SsangYong Actyon Sports, which takes both its new engine as some of its aesthetic elements. The aim is to offer a more versatile model, which will not scare potential buyers both for its size and fuel consumption and emissions.

Deep mechanical changes
The Rexton leaves the engine with which he had counted over recent years, a block of 165 hp 2.7 l was his main banner. In its place comes the 2.0 turbo diesel engine of 155 hp and 360 Nm of torque, the same as the SsangYong Actyon Sports assembled, with a variation that achieves a more efficient behavior, especially asphalt surface to which they are intended mostly this such models at least in the European and Japanese market.

Mechanical changes are not confined to the engine only, but will also affect the gearbox, where you can choose between six-speed manual transmission or automatic with a five-speed connection. There are also variations in traction, which maintains the option 4 × 4-Lo, but now adds a front-wheel drive 4 × 2, further reinforcing the possibility of offering a more consistent behavior with urban environments.

Aesthetic Evolution
although mechanical level is where we find the biggest news of the latter SsangYong Rexton, there are aspects that comment about aesthetics and design. Most SUV line leaves rounded forms, to spend even more stylish and dynamic appearance, finished in the back with some lift, all very much in line with the Actyon Sports.

No leaks so the new SsangYong Rexton this trend dominating the SUV segment and SUVs that tries to reduce volume and provide a more versatile and stylish appearance, as has happened in the evolution of the Mitsubishi ASX and the Jeep Compass for example, in the wake of the success of the Range Rover Evoque. A fad that has settled firmly within this segment, one of the few that keeps rising in the times in which we live, so that no manufacturer wants to stop presenting news in it.

Mitsubishi Mirage: will be presented at the Paris Motor Show. Mitsubishi has unveiled its next moves for the European market, a movement led by the unexpected success in a sense the new Mitsubishi Mirage in the Japanese market. This is the car that the Japanese company presented at the Paris Motor Show 2012 which will begin late next September. A vehicle eminently urban and austere in terms of equipment and engines that seeks to attract the European public through a most competitive price. Will the proposal?

This new proposal is very reminiscent of Mitsubishi who made the play a couple of years with Nissan Micra, a basic vehicle that tried to get open for its low price but do not work as expected in terms of sales. The Mitsubishi Mirage, which comes to replace the Mitsubishi Colt, which will end his long career, try not to repeat that experience in the European market, the first one they come after its launch in Japan, where it has given very good results.

Austerity in engines and equipment
there has been no official confirmation of this detail, but it is likely that the Mitsubishi Mirage comes to Europe with a single engine, as has happened in Japan. In that case, the engine would be the same 1.0 liter 3-cylinder 12v, which develops an output of 69 hp, which could be mounted with a manual gearbox or automatic. With these data, the car is able to offer a very low consumption figures: 3.6 l/100 km in versions with Start & Stop system and 4.3 l/100 km for those who do not.

Simplicity also premium finishes, all very basic, and equipment, modern but with no excess, qualities that would offer an attractive price, at least during the launch phase. A price would remain well below the $ 10,000, an amount that can be very interesting in these times when a car is done with a complex adventure by the lack of good prospects, which are feeling the dealers, as we seen in the sales data for July.

Disparate operating in different markets
Acceptance will have to see who has the Mitsubishi Mirage in the European market, which has been very reluctant to these basic cars reduced price, as has been seen in their own flesh with Nissan Micra. Poor performance that has not had, for example, in the Latin American market, Nissan Micra is done on a model with a good start. One aspect that adds some uncertainty to the future of this project.

Mitsubishi has been guided by the time by the success of the Mirage in Japan, which already has about 5,000 firm orders since it has opened the booking period, a figure well above that expected by the Japanese own brand . These figures do they remain optimistic about this upcoming release.

The Infiniti Emerg-E Idea car has been late unveiled at the 2012 GenevaMotor Show and the posture has a big measure of striking the creation line.
The Japanese based automaker Infiniti has excited the Emerg-E Concept a few present in the outgoing months and the framework has straight leaked heavenward of its fireman debut, injury the companys disruption, but justified so, the vehicle plant managed to appeal quite a approach at the Nation moving circumstance.

The Infiniti Emerg-e present is the honors car from the Altaic call to somebody a range-extender drive train intentional to bid toughened execution with cypher emissions capability. The loco mote wills also one mounted in the midriff of the car for optimal direction. Infiniti currently builds a hybrid car - the M35h - but the breathe of the chain has orthodox petrol or engineer engines.
