Capri, c'est fini? Not so fast! Ford Motor Company brings back the classic as a four-door EV, blending retro charm with modern tech.⬇ 🚗 Ford’s iconic Capri coupe is reimagined as a four-door EV, sharing a chunky profile with electric crossovers like the Polestar 2. This evolution reflects the growing SUV trend since the Capri's production ended in 1986. 🌍 The Capri follows Ford’s modern adaptations of classic models, like the Mustang EV SUV and the Maverick pickup truck. It offers rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive options with a promised range of up to 627km (390 miles) for the extended-range RWD model, based on European WLTP estimates. 🔋 Built on Volkswagen’s MEB electric vehicle platform, the Capri is the second model after the Explorer EV launched in Europe. While similar in specs to VW's ID.5 and ID.4, the Capri sports a slightly more dynamic look, positioning it between the Explorer and Mustang Mach-E in Ford's lineup. 💬 The return of the Capri not only appeals to nostalgia, but also fits in with the neo-vintage trend, as seen with Renault's R5. With soccer legend Eric Cantona starring in the ad, Ford's strategy skilfully blends heritage and star power, capturing the essence of both past and future. Is this the future of automotive, and will it appeal to purists? #Automotive #EV

🤔❣🔹🔷🔵💙🔵🔷🔹❣🤔 The #UniedStates was once dominated by traditional #luxurycar brands like Ford Motor Company's Lincoln and General Motors's Cadillac... Lincoln has moved away from its EV ambitions, reversing plans with parent company Ford to introduce large three-row #SUV(s) to rival the Escalade IQ and potential Chevy or GMC models... Cadillac is preparing a robust EV lineup that will feature the 2025 Optiq compact CUV from #China, the existing 2024 Lyriq, the forthcoming 2026 Vistiq that accommodates three rows, and the flagship models Escalade IQ and Celestiq... It seems increasingly unlikely for Lincoln to reintroduce the Continental as a zero-emissions flagship passenger car at this time... While Cadillac might easily integrate Ultium technology into a large sedan if they expand on the Celestiq to create a standard four-door... NOTE: FMC has been following a strategy of incorporating traditional #ICE, #Hybrid, and #ElectricVechicle (#EV) powertrain platforms into its vehicles, with the realization that the customers of autos should have a whole suite of options, so those potential customers can decide what suits them best. Although the Lincoln Continental may not be reintroduced as a zero-emission vehicle (but there is no reason to rule that out), it could reappear with an ICE powertrain, and most likely with an option for a hybrid powertrain, as Ford has been in the process of giving that option for many of its new offerings...

The Tata Curvv!! EVs have come of age! Tata Motors is about to launch the Curvv SUV on the 7th of August, a coupe styled SUV(thank you BMW X6!). What is significant though is that Tata has shown the ICE and EV variants simultaneously and has infact decided to launch the EV first!(At the time of making the video it was thought that the EV and ICE variants will launch together!). This makes it clear that Tata Motors is not giving up its EV throne in India anytime soon!. It also marks a fundamental shift in the thinking of OEMs that saw EVs as an "appendage" to the overall model line up rather than something core!. Do let me know what you think of the styling!. I'll reserve my comments till I see it in the flesh!. #Automotive #Automobile #AutoIndustry #AutomotiveIndustry #CarIndustry #ElectricVehicles #EV #AutonomousVehicles #ConnectedCars #SmartMobility #AutomotiveTechnology #AutoTech #VehicleTechnology #Innovation #TechTrends #SustainableMobility #GreenVehicles #CleanEnergy #EcoFriendly #Sustainability #AutoTrends #MarketInsights #AutoNews #CarMarket #IndustryTrends #TataMotors #BMW #Coupe #SUV

■ Jaclyn McQuaid, GM's European head, highlighted electric SUVs as the fastest-growing segment for zero-emission vehicles, particularly in the luxury market. • She emphasized this trend at a launch event in Paris, stating that the luxury market is currently the focus of attention. The brand is also planning a showroom in Paris, and the Lyriq will be available for order online from March 23rd.  The move comes amidst increasing competition in the EV space, notably from Chinese rivals driving toward affordability. Despite this, GM remains steadfast in its commitment to capturing a niche in the luxury electric SUV market. The Lyriq's entry into Europe positions it alongside formidable competitors like the Mercedes EQE SUV, Audi A8 e-tron and BMW iX. In the US, pricing for the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq starts at $57,195, catering to various trim levels. However, GM faces challenges, including past issues with battery modules impacting Lyriq production. Despite these hurdles, the company asserts it has resolved these challenges, aiming for a successful rollout of the Lyriq and other EVs. GM's endeavor to penetrate the European EV market aligns with broader industry shifts towards electrification. While the Lyriq's success remains to be seen, GM's entry signals a significant step towards establishing a foothold in the evolving landscape of electric mobility. #emobility #generalmotors #electricvehicles #luxurycars #europeanmarket https://lnkd.in/eAs7FJRH

BY ANDREW WENDLER Overview Volvo's push to achieve an all-EV lineup by 2030 appears to be on schedule, with the forthcoming 2026 Volvo ES90 electric car being the latest model to assist in the effort. A mid-size luxury sedan, we expect the new ES90 EV to exist alongside the current S90 as the maker transitions into its EV future. It'll be built on the same platform as the EX90 EV SUV. Unsurprisingly, it should use the same 111.0-kWh battery pack, but unlike the EX90, it could offer a choice of either a single- or dual-motor setup, the latter of which offering all-wheel drive. Range is unconfirmed, but we expect it to meet or beat the claimed 300-mile range of the EX90 SUV. Though it's positioned as an analogue to the current S90, the ES90 is reportedly marginally taller and wider than the gas-burning sedan and sports a slightly longer wheelbase. Production of the ES90 is slated to begin in May of 2024 in China, but leaked documents indicate the first models have already rolled off the assembly line. When it hits dealer showrooms, it will count the BMW i5, Mercedes-Benz EQE, and the upcoming Audi A6 e-tron, as its chief competitors. https://lnkd.in/g9Gw7SZw
