The coming-out of the long-awaited Toyota GR Supra with manual gearbox, the adjustments made by SEAT in the León range and the dark future facing the SEAT Tarraco have been the main topics in the recent Motor.es direct on Twitch. If you have missed the live broadcast you have the opportunity to watch it on a delayed basis.
SEAT and Toyota have been two of the leading brands in the recent live broadcast on the Motor.es channel on Twitch. The adjustments made by SEAT in the range of one of its star models, added to the launch of a long-awaited version of the iconic Toyota sports car, have been hot topics. All this accompanied by different announcements made in the field of fully electric mobility.
In case you missed the live broadcast, you have the opportunity to watch this program in which we carry out a complete review and analysis of current events in the automotive sector. An analysis that began with the aforementioned Spanish brand. And it is that these last days SEAT is being the subject of a whole series of comments related to the changes made to the Leon range.
The popular SEAT compact has seen its offer reduced by half. Two of the most important finishes have been eliminated. The microchip shortage is behind this important decision. The manufacturer must prioritize the most demanded versions and redirect the available microchip stock to the most profitable models. These are difficult times in the vehicle production centers.
The brand Tesla has made an announcement that has generated a lot of interest. And it is that the company has recommended fully charge LFP batteries used by certain versions of the Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y. The program delved into this issue to explain why Tesla makes this recommendation when it is usually pointed out that it is not good for the life of the battery to fully charge or discharge it .
A space has also been dedicated to the long-awaited novelty presented by Toyota. The long-awaited manual version of the Toyota GR Supra is already a reality. The iconic Japanese sports car incorporates a motorization with an intelligent manual transmission into its mechanical offer. In addition, the moment was used to comment on the 150 kWh battery project with 1,000 kilometers of autonomy in which the Chinese brand NIO is working.
We leave electric mobility aside to analyze the plug-in hybrid version of the Citroën C5 X. Our sister portal Forococheselectricos.com has had the opportunity to put itself at the controls of the most ecological engine that is available in the range of the new Citroën sedan. The consumption figures obtained have been pleasantly surprising.
Last but not least, we close the live broadcast talking about the same brand with which we started it. SEAT has been in the news twice as important reports have come to light that point to a very dark future for the SEAT Tarraco. The sales figures for this seven-seater SUV are not being as expected and if this situation does not change with the arrival of the expected update, it will be sentenced to death.
