Dacia Logan MCV Stepway Joining Limited Edition Models In Geneva


Dacia have expanded their Stepway family by releasing a new version of the Logan MCV, making its debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

Joining the likes of the Sandero, Lodgy and Dokker, the Dacia Logan MCV Stepway benefits from the updated styling of the facelifted range, and comes with a choice of two colors: Azurite Blue and Vison Brown, combined with new 16-inch Bayadere Dark Metal rims.

Additionally, it also comes with a Duster-like grille, side protective moldings, front and rear skid plates, and a 50mm (1.97 in) increased ground clearance.

The interior has been slightly reworked in order to be in the same vein with the rest of the Stepway family, but still retains its spaciousness all around, and a boot a capacity that is said to be "amongst the market's very biggest", at 573 liters.

At launch, the car will be available with a TCe 90 PS (89 HP) petrol engine, with either a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic gearbox, but also a dCi 90 diesel unit that works together with a five-speed manual transmission. Joining it later on will be an LPG version, in select markets.

Furthermore, limited edition Stepway models as well as Duster will also debut in Switzerland, starting with March 7. Based on the highest equipment level, they're offered in Iceland Grey, or the Sandero Stepway-only Ochre Orange, with special 16-inch alloy wheels completing the exterior design.

Inside, the automaker has added exclusive upholstery, copper orange detailing on the air vent surrounds and center console, along with special stitching for the upholstery and floor mats.

As a final touch, Dacia is also updating the Dokker, Dokker Van and Lodgy range for 2017. All three are getting a new grille, fresh wheel patterns, and some interior updates that include a four-spoke steering wheel, new colors for the dashboard, and others. These will also be on display in Geneva.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
