Subaru XV SUV You will drive GPL

Subaru XV: You will drive GPL. This year Subaru SUVs featuring the launch of the fifteenth, a good product which still has the good line from the rest of the range. Despite the competing models, Subaru is known to defend well, offering some specific elements found only in this model. The attractive image is convincing in the world and the manufacturer has now announced that the range will be expanded in the coming days. This extension is to introduce LPG-powered system between versions to choose from. Represents the option that combines gasoline and liquefied gas.

From next week at dealerships have Spanish versions available for the new version of Subaru SUVs. This option is available in versions 1.6 l and 2.0 l will now 106CV and 145CV having respectively. The performance of both engines is hardly altered while its maximum torque is slightly reduced.

All versions are equipped with four wheel drive permanent and this is a higher consumption cost than in the case of two-wheel traction. Anyway not have a high consumption despite this and despite offering a good height, superior to that of direct competitors. These levels of consumption will be increased with the new GPL. Gas capacity of 48 liters will be added to the tank 70 series. If version 1.6 its consumption is 6.5 l/100km, will now be of 8.9 l/100km and in the case of version 2.0, will be from 6.9 l/100km to 9.6 l/100km with the GPL.

If the system uses more gas, what are the advantages? Combining the LPG conventional fuel (petrol) with the liquefied gas is not to reduce fuel consumption but reduce CO2 in the case of SUVs and SUVs, for example, acquire excessive levels. Thus, the Subaru XV with the LPG system happens to have CO2 emissions of 139 g / km for the 1.6, compared with the 151 g / km for the petrol version, and the 2.0 option is passed to an emission of 160 g / km to 150 g / km.

Here in Spain the liquefied gas system is not abundant among the vehicles on our streets today, however most of the Spanish gas stations have the necessary elements for this type of fuel subminiature. In one of the territories for many years this type of system is common between users is Italy. We predict that Spain will not convince most but in Italy itself it will.

The Subaru XV will now feature an expansion of the range to be more respectful of the environment by reducing CO2 emissions. Within the Asian SUVs, we found a strong rival, the new Kia Sportage which also has very competitive prices.

Ferrari to unveil all wheel drive shooting brake in Geneva

We’re anticipating a new Ferrari to be unveiled in a few months time at the Geneva Motor Show, but just what form – and arguably just as vitally, what technology – the new Prancing Horse will take has been the subject of much rumor and conjecture as of late.

Based on Ferrari chief Luca di Montezemolo’s reported pronouncement that his company is preparing “a very different new Ferrari” for the Swiss salon, initial reports speculated that a production-ready hybrid could be in the cards. But the latest reports seem to call that into question.

So if not a hybrid, what has Maranello got in store for us? Most reports point towards a replacement for the 612 Scaglietti, the company’s flagship (if somewhat lackluster) four-seat GT. Others suggest a shooting brake two-door wagon, while yet others report that whatever debuts will incorporate the company’s part-time all-wheel drive system, if not necessarily a hybrid drivetrain. The truth probably lies in the combination of several of these reports, if not all of them, but we’ll just have to sit tight to see what will lie underneath the veil come March.
