After an ill-fated coupe (R8 E-Tron), a sporty sedan (E-Tron GT), and a bunch of Q crossovers, Audi is lastly making an electrical wagon. It’s in all probability going to be referred to as A6 Avant E-Tron, and that is our greatest look but. Spy pictures present a production-ready prototype with a lot of the camouflage eliminated.
That mentioned, there’s nonetheless some deceiving body-colored tape on the entrance and rear of the automobile, together with a little bit of mascara on the headlights. Because break up headlights are a development these days, the A6 Avant E-Tron will echo the Q6 E-Tron and next-gen Q3 with two layers of lights. Where rules permit, these nifty facet cameras will exchange the standard mirrors.
A small truck called the Renault Niagara has caught attention with its unique drivetrain. Unlike the ill-fated Mercedes X-Class, which was just a rebadged Nissan Navara, the Niagara offers something different. This conceptual truck features a hybrid setup. It has a mild-hybrid gasoline engine that powers the front wheels, while an electric motor takes care of the rear axle. By combining these two power sources, the Niagara becomes a four-wheel-drive vehicle that can go anywhere.
Renault emphasizes that the Niagara can handle half of your everyday drives in full-electric mode. This means that, after shutting off the internal combustion engine (ICE), the truck can still operate as a rear-wheel-drive electric vehicle. While the specific details about the battery pack are not mentioned, it is likely to be small since the Niagara is a compact pickup and the electric range only lasts for half a day.
