The reduction in fuel prices, Alfa Romeo’s “SUV party” or the imminent launch of the new Toyota bZ4X have been central topics in the recent Motor.es direct on Twitch. An extensive review of current events in the automobile sector that you can see again if you did not have the opportunity to connect live.
In the recent live broadcast by the product team at Motor.es on Twitter, together with colleagues from our portal Forocheselectricos.com, we have carried out an extensive review of current events in the automobile sector. A news that is once again marked by high fuel prices and the electrification process that the different car brands present in the European territory are carrying out.
Pedro Sánchez, President of the Government of Spain, announced approximately 24 hours ago an important measure aimed at mitigate the escalation of fuel prices in Spain. And it has been confirmed that a reduction of 20 euro cents will be applied in the price of fuel. A measure that was initially aimed specifically at professionals but will eventually be extended to all citizens. The aforementioned discount will be applied at the time of paying for fuel at the stations and will be valid until June 30, 2022.
There was also talk of one of the most anticipated launches of the Toyota brand. The new Toyota bZ4X will start its commercial adventure in Spain soon. The first 100% electric SUV of the Japanese company can be reserved in the Spanish market at the end of next April and the first deliveries to customers are scheduled for the end of the year. It is the first model of the sub-brand beyond Zero that Toyota.
The “SUV fever” that is plaguing Europe and much of the global car market is far from over. Alfa Romeo has decided to bet without complexes on this formula with the aim of solving all the problems that it has been dragging. The arrival of the Alfa Romeo Tonale is nothing more than the beginning of his particular “SUV Party”. Jean-Philippe Imparato himself, CEO of Alfa Romeo, has confirmed that there will be a “big brother” for the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. That is to say, an E-segment SUV. A model that, predictably, will be baptized with the name of Alfa Romeo Castello.
The new castle
It will be ready to reach the market at some point in the year 2027. It is important to emphasize that it is not the only SUV that Alfa Romeo has on the agenda. In 2023, the arrival of a small B-segment SUV is expected. A “little brother” of the new Tonale. This SUV, whose name is officially unknown, will have a 100% electric variant in its mechanical offer.
Volkswagen has also been in the news. And it is that the German brand has been forced to delay the launch of its new electric SUV for a month. The arrival of the Volkswagen ID.5 at European dealerships will now take place in May due to the shortage of some components necessary for its manufacture and that come from the Ukrainian industry.
As in previous broadcasts on Twitch, the Tesla brand once again had its space since Elon Musk himself has communicated his goal of Outperform Toyota and Volkswagen in vehicle production… Together!
Last but not least, there was a small space dedicated to analyzing a particular radical environmental movement that is dedicated to deflating the wheels of SUV-type vehicles with a combustion engine as a protest against their emission levels compared to a passenger car. traditional.
