Smart Fortwo (2014): Daimler goes it alone

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher (artist's impressions by Christian Schulte), 31 December 2012 09:00

Daimler is developing the new Smart Fortwo alone after Renault ejected from so-called Project Edison early in the car's gestation. Having spent a small fortune on new electric car projects like Twizy and Zoe (not to mention Fluence ZE and Kangoo ZE), the French pulled out of the Fortwo programme to save money and manpower - concentrating instead on the joint project to co-develop a ...

BMW i3: the production electric i3 hatchback coming in 2013

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, artists's impression by R Varicak/Motor Research, 09 March 2012 09:53

Project i is way past the point of no return. The task force headed by Ulrich Kranz is already knee-deep in prototyping with both i3 and i8 undergoing early on-road trials in Miramas (BMW's own proving ground near Marseilles) and near the Arctic Circle. First spy shots show heavily camouflaged cars, but not even the swirly shower curtain foil can ...

Vauxhall/Opel Allegra/Junior (2012) scooped on video

Rated 5 out of 55

Tim Pollard, 08 February 2012 10:48

Here's some spy video footage of the new 2013 Vauxhall and Opel city car. We hesitate to name it - but let's stick with the Junior or Allegra tags that have been used internally in its development. This city car will slot beneath the Corsa when we see it at the 2012 Paris motor show. It's essentially a replacement for ...

Vauxhall Allegra/Junior (2013) new spy shots

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 28 September 2011 12:19

Vauxhall and Opel will launch this new city car, dubbed variously Allegra/Junior/that small Vauxhall. It's a new sub-Corsa mini which will be unveiled in 2012 before sales commence in 2013. Based on the underpinnings of the Chevrolet Cruze, the Allegra will conceptually replace the Vauxhall Agila and will have space for four adults. We expect prices for the baby Griffin ...

Fiat Panda (2012): the latest scoop

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 26 July 2011 09:11

Fiat will show off the new Panda city car at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show in mid September. Our artist’s impression shows a remarkably close vision of the new third-generation Panda. All Fiat Pandas to date owe a debt to 1980’s Giugiaro original, one of the timeless, simple-but-boxy designs of recent years. The new 2012 Panda will be no different, ...

Aston Martin will launch an electric Cygnet (2013)

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 16 May 2011 10:56

Aston Martin is developing an electric version of the controversial Cygnet city car – which is expected to make a splash as the first Aston Martin EV in history. Why is Aston launching an electric Cygnet? The e-Cygnet will glide silently on the coat tails of a proposed electric Toyota iQ, the Japanese city car that provides the foundation for ...

Skoda's city car (2012) - the Czechs' VW Up

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard (artist's impression Christian Schulte), 13 May 2011 12:32

Skoda will launch a new city car to slot below the Fabia in 2012. The new baby Skoda will be based on the Up being developed by parent company Volkswagen. It's all part of the VW-Seat-Skoda New Small Family project to launch a new small car for global sale. Our artist's impression depicts how the new Skoda city car is ...

BMW i3 Megacity Vehicle (2013) prototype spy shots

Rated 3 out of 53

Mark Hamilton, 10 March 2011 12:32

Here's our first glimpse of BMW's new i3 city car, caught during testing in the wintry climes of Scandinavia. BMW i3? Sure it's not a Hyundai with a name like that? BMW i is to alternative powertrain vehicles as BMW M is to performance cars. The i3 is the production name for the Mega City Vehicle project, and will join ...

Kia Picanto (2011): the first spy photos

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Peter Adams, 14 December 2010 10:20

These are the first spy shots of the next-generation Kia Picanto which will go on sale in late spring 2011. Although disguised, it’s clear to see that the new 2011 Kia Picanto will take plenty of cues from the styling sketches released last week. Encouragingly, from what's visible, it looks very similar to the chrome model of the Picanto displayed ...
