Volkswagen has confirmed plans to launch an all-electric car sharing service in 2019 to compete with the DriveNow and Car2Go services offered by Daimler and BMW. Called “We Share,” the service will initially be rolled out in Berlin, Germany, in the second quarter of 2019 using 1,500 e-Golf and an additional 500 e-up! models following later. From 2020, these vehicles will gradually be replaced by the electric I.D. hatchback, which is slated to begin production in late 2019. Following the launch in Berlin, We Share will be rolled out in other major cities in Germany, as we...
The three-door hatchback gives off a sporty two-door coupe vibe, while still retaining the practicality of a hatchback. Sadly, the popularity of two-door coupes has been waning in favor of SUVs and practical three-door hatchbacks have suffered as a result. Volkswagen has already killed off three-door versions of the Golf GTI and Golf R. VW has recently announced the end of several other three-door hatchbacks including the Beetle, Polo, Scirocco, and Up, as well as the Audi A3. Even in Europe where hatchbacks are popular, VW now only sells three three-door hatchbacks: the Audi A1, th...
It was back in 2011 when the Nissan Juke launched in the US. Many did not know what to make of the funky-looking small crossover with its frog eye-like front-end design and, at the time, unusual proportions. In 2018 just about everywhere one goes a Juke can be spotted on the road. Automotive News reports that Nissan has officially dropped the subcompact Juke crossover from its American lineup. Sales were down last year by 48 percent, compared to 2016. Its replacement is the all-new Nissan Kicks. Americans haven’t quite taken to the Juke in nearly the same enthusiastic manner a...
Soon, it will be very important to know where your next car was assembled, because the US is in the midst of a massive trade war. Just because your car was built in the US, doesn’t make it safe from tariffs. As Automotive News reports, automakers may be forced to spread price increases from tariffs across their entire model range. Many people seem to be confused about how US-built cars could possibly be affected by Trump’s tariffs. Automakers plan to minimize the impact of the tariffs by spreading out price increases across their lineup. Some automakers such as Jaguar, L...
Hydrogen fuel-cell technology is promising but also requires a lot of investment. And while some automakers are going at it alone, others are collaborating on fuel-cell development. Audi and Hyundai announced a joint initiative that will see the two sharing technologies, cross-licensing patents and giving each other access to non-competitive components. The idea is to put fuel cells into volume production faster and more efficiently. Both carmakers have been investing heavily in fuel-cell development for years. Audi rolled out its first A2H2 prototype in 2004, the Q5 HFC in 2008, an...
