BMW EV crossover, the new Renault Megane,Ford update the Tourneo and Connect


Reports online today are suggesting that the BMW brand could very well be in the middle of development of an all electric crossover model which could potentially be designed in hopes of going head to head with the Tesla Model X. The car is not something which has been addressed by BMW themselves as of yet and this should be taken on nothing more than speculation for the moment. Interesting news worth noting though is that the car is likely to be produced in South Carolina over in the United States and not in the firms home country of Germany. There is no time frame to work on as to when the new car could possibly be debuted or when it will go on sale but for the moment, we are just waiting for BMW to address the rumour.

 

The new Renault Megane has been spotted on the road

Renault will launch a brand new version of their Megane model onto the road badged as a 2016 model and there has been much anticipation behind the vehicle over the past number of months. Today however we have seen our very first images of the new car which was spied out testing wearing camouflage covering up some of the brand new design changes coming along as a part of the package. No confirmations have been given as to what changes are going to be made to the bodywork of the car but we do know that it will look much more sporty than its predecessor and is said to share some features from the Clio which we would expect to be things like body creasing and headlight designs. The confirmation of upgraded material for the seating and interior cabin changes aswell as new technology has also been confirmed by Renault but as to what the big changes are, this is remaining a bit of a mystery for this moment in time. The latest on a debut for the car is that we may very well see it make its arrival at the Frankfurt Motor Show which takes place this coming September.

Ford have announced this week that they are bringing in fresh updates for both of their Grand Tourneo and Connect commercial van models. The American car maker this week confirmed that both vehicles will from this coming Summer time benefit from new Euro 6 compliant engines and some brand new technology will also come into play with the new models to match. In regards to the updated engines, both the Tourneo and Connect will be offered with a 1.5 litre TDCi diesel setup with 65.7mpg returned in C02 emissions. There are three different power outputs for the diesel engine with the most giving out 120bhp. The top spec model is also included with a six speed, automatic transmission. For you petrol fans though, fear not as Ford has not forgotten about you. The same ecoboost setup still comes along with both vehicles with the difference now being that it is Euro 6 compliant. Ford say that fuel emissions for this engine have been cut by three percent in total and now automatic stop start technology comes along with the Ecoboost engine.

 

Both the Connect and Tourneo also benefit from new technology which includes Ford's SYNC 2 technology,lane keeping assistance, a blind spot warning system and traffic sign recognition can now also be found in both vehicles. These updated models are available to purchase right now from Ford dealerships.
