Hyundai ix35: Prices and specs revealed en France

The Hyundai ix35 - the French get prices and specs before the UK We’ve been expecting Hyundai in the UK to release prices and specs for the new Hyundai ix35 for a few weeks now. We had a fair bit of information on the UK Hyundai ix35 back in September at Frankfurt, but for whatever reason we haven’t had price and model detail. So as Hyundai in Europe have got their act together and sent out details of what’s on offer in the ix35 range – and for how much – we thought that you might like a glimpse of what we’re likely to get.

Aston Martin DB9 4WD Plug-in Hybrid revealed by Bosch (video)

Bosch has built a plug-in hybrid Aston Martin DB9 We’ve always believed one of the best uses for hybrid powertrains is to provide extra performance on high-end cars, something Bosh has demonstrated by fitting the Aston Martin DB9 with a hybrid setup. The hybrid DB9 hasn’t been built to preview a production hybrid DB9 (although it probably should) but to demonstrate what Bosch can do with an existing car. Aston Martin donated the DB9 to Bosch for the hybrid project, and Bosh has fitted the DB9 with three electric motors – one at each front wheel and one next to the Aston’s V12 – which gives the DB9 something in the region of an extra 250bhp to play with.

SEAT Ibiza ECOMOTIVE does 100mpg

Gerhard Plattner achieved almost 100mpg in a SEAT Ibiza ECOMOTIVE But when press release came in from SEAT this afternoon telling us that a SEAT Ibiza ECOMOTIVE has just achieved a run, on real roads from Barcelona to Germany, of 1,562km and used just 45.53 litres of fuel, we had to get our calculators out (we’re so old now we can only see the reality of the achievement in mpg!). By our reckoning the Ibiza managed just a shade under 100mpg. Astonishing.
