Land Rover Discovery Sport: first pictures of 2015's family SUV

By Ben Pulman First Official Pictures 03 September 2014 00:01 This is the new 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport, a replacement for the Freelander, and the model that kick-starts the rejuvenation and expansion of the Discovery family. For the past four years it’s been Land Rover’s Range Rover brand getting all the love and attention, first with the Evoque (originally shown as the Land Rover-badged LRX concept), then the full-size Range Rover, and most recently with the Range Sport and LWB Range Rover. Now the focus is shifting, and it’s the turn of the Discovery nameplate, which will grow to encompass a full family of family-focused SUVs.

New Audi A4 (2012) arrives: Audi A4, S4 and A4 Allroad

New Audi A4 (2012) revealed together with 2012 S4 and A4 Allroad The current Audi A4 has been with us since 2008, but with the Mercedes C Class and the BMW 3 Series upping their game it’s time for Audi to strike back with an updated A4 for 2012. So we get treated to a complete refresh across the A4 range from Audi, with new versions of the Audi A4, A4 Estate, S4, S4 Estate and the 4WD Audi A4 Allroad Quattro. The 2012 Audi A4 isn’t a new, ground-up A4, rather it’s a comprehensive re-work of the current A4 with significant styling updates – inside and out – and a plethora of new engines.

Better Place Electric Car visitor centre opens

Better Place have opened a visitor centre in Israel to demonstrate their battery swap technology for electric cars Last October we wrote about a start-up company in Israel – Better Place – that had a new way forward for electric cars by taking the purchase of battery packs out of the equation, and was developing a system for ‘Battery Swap’ stations where electric car owners could drive in and swap their battery pack for a fully-charged one in a few minutes. That story first brought to our attention our favourite quote of last year – by Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn – who said “A hybrid is like a mermaid: if you want a fish, you get a woman; if you want a woman, you get a fish.” Which probably explained why Nissan – and its partner Renault – got involved with Better Place. Better Place aims to address the main concerns of electric car drivers by making the battery packs in electric cars ‘swappable’.
