Munich Motor Show 2021: A to Z

Audi

Sky Sphere

It’ll exhibit the changeover from combustion electric power to the long term of electrical luxurious vehicles on a new system designed to support that.

Dacia

Dacia Lodgy teaser

Finances car or truck maker Dacia will exhibit a new seven-seat MPV referred to as the Lodgy at the exhibit. It is been verified to be coming to the United kingdom, irrespective of this design getting been earlier only available in other markets. 

It’ll use the very same architecture as the new Sandero and Sandero Stepway, but it’ll be more substantial to accommodate the further passenger seats inside of. We hope it to use the very same engines as nicely, such as a little petrol and possibly the LPG-outfitted Bi-Gas design as nicely.

Mercedes

Mercedes Maybach EQS SUV

Mercedes will launch eight new vehicles at Munich, such as 5 pure-electrical vehicles and a single new effectiveness hybrid. The most vital debut will be the Mercedes EQE saloon, which will turn out to be the first pure-electrical government saloon available when it goes on sale in 2022. 

Mercedes will also unveil its first-at any time electrical AMG design, which we hope will be a 751bhp edition of the EQS saloon. Other highlights will contain a Maybach EQS SUV notion, a new rival for the Audi A4 Allroad in the sort of the C-Course All-Terrain, and a new effectiveness hybrid, which could either be an AMG 73 edition of the GT 4-Doorway or the electrified S-Course we first spied in 2020.

Renault

Eventually there will be vehicles from the new Mobilize brand, which Renault is working with to exhibit its planned range of urban vehicles, possible to be referred to as Duo, Bento, Limo and Hippo. This service seems to be like it will deliver a successor to the oddball Twizy, but with a much more present day gross sales coverage with expenses based on time invested in the car or truck and paid out by smartphone.

Clever

Smart SUV teaser above

Clever will showcase the commence of its force upmarket and into more substantial motor vehicle segments at Munich, with new mother or father business Geely at the helm. The business will unveil a new notion electrical SUV, which ditches some of the brand’s famed “smallness” in favour of a much more premium impression. 
It will morph into a new rival for the MINI Countryman and Audi Q2 in 2023 – and we have it on good authority that the finished car or truck will search just like the notion sketches. It will be the first car or truck working with the new Geely formulated SEA all-electrical car or truck system.
