(Potential) electrical success numbers
AutoWeek 45 will be in your letterbox this week and will be for sale in the store from Wednesday. In this issue, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 takes on the Nissan Ariya, we drive the MG 4 Electric and there is a Citroën C1 converted for racing on the dynamometer.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is highly regarded and Nissan sincerely hopes that it can offer a response with the Ariya. In addition, Nissan wants to make up for some lost time with it, because after the Leaf it remained quiet in the electric field. Time for a showdown between the Ariya and the Ioniq 5.
Another electric newcomer to this issue comes from a completely different angle. The MG, now controlled from China, mainly attacks the Volkswagen ID3 with the 4 Electric, with a more attractive price tag. We were able to set out with the MG 4 Electric to discover whether it is a promising story. A tip of the veil: if the manufacturer actually manages to keep the price of the MG 4 below €30,000, this Chinese under the British flag will be a real sales stunner.
The Range Rover Sport has been a household name since 2005 as a more dynamic, slightly smaller Range Rover. Land Rover sends the third generation into the world and it looks nice and recognizable. The Sport has the highest show value of all models. But does he translate that into action? Stéphan Vermeulen figured it out.
In AutoWeek 45 you can expect a lot of fun reading material in the used area. So it’s time to update you on what happened to the barrels of Barrelbrigade 2022. Frank’s Renault Mégane and Marco’s Jaguar X-type were still driving, but Michiel’s Opel Astra was already pre-sorted for the shredder with a broken head gasket. Were you nevertheless able to find a loving new owner for the Astra?
We thought we had covered the Citroën C1 in all shapes and sizes by now. But then Tygo van Veggen’s dynamometer registration arrives. He has a Citroen C1 PTC. What is that? So a race car! Of course they have experience with that at Beek Auto Racing in The Hague. Let’s see what the little tear-nose still has in the house.
As a car enthusiast, you must have owned an Alfa Romeo at least once in your life. Thijs Meijer proceeded energetically by starting his automotive career with an Alfa. That the engine broke down a few months later was bad luck and the IVA student can especially laugh about it. Now it’s time to see how much life is left in his Alfa.
You can read that and more in AutoWeek 45, which will be in stores from Wednesday. Would you rather not go out? Order from the lazy chair the latest number. Then it will be delivered to your doorstep within two working days.
