The reality will be much more decaffeinated

by

Parliamentary failure in the Voting of the reduction of the day at 37.5 hours a week was an important setback for a measure that appeared as one of the Flags of the Legislature Agreement. However, in that parliamentary session the reduction of day was lying. Indirectly, the Hours registration system reform that accompanied to that measure and the regulatory changes that allowed the sanctions to harde and fight against labor exploitation. Without parliamentary force. The initial design contemplated two key pieces: 37.5 hours workday and a mandatory digital hourly registration, immediately accessible for the Labor Inspection and the unions. If approved, both measures would have been reinforced in the eradication of the extra hours not paid. Without the legislative instruments that allowed its approval in Congress when modifying the Baremo de Sanctions, the Ministry of Labor has been forced to reorient your strategynow putting the focus on the reform of the time registration by decree law. That forces the measure with a proposal that applies minor changes to The current regulations. A reform reduced. The difference between what was raised in Congress and what now is submitted to public consultation It is evident. Such and As I pointed out The economistwith the parliamentary proposal it included a mandatory and integrated digital system, while the decree maintains flexible options and leaves out a reinforced sanctioning regime. Yolanda Díaz, second vice president and head of the Ministry of Labor, He has defended than the current day record It is “absolutely violative of community regulations and the Court of Justice of the European Union has condemned Spain for not meeting the demands. “ Despite this forcefulness by the government, even its union allies admit that the proposal for the reform of the time registration has been diluted with the change of road for approval. “From CCOO we will demand the literalness of the text agreed in social dialogue,” demanded Javier Pacheco, secretary of trade union action and transitions of CCOO, in statements collected by The world. The proposal to public consultation. The draft of Royal Decree placed in public consultation proposes to strengthen the principles that were already in the regulations. The document establishes that the records must be carried out personally and directly by the workers themselves, detailing the pauses and times of availability, thus differentiating the ordinary hours of the extraordinary. The proposal opens the door for electronic registration mechanisms with authenticity guarantees – such as time seals or identity verification systems – although it is not specified that digitalization is mandatory in all cases, which leaves margin to keep the manual records and with it part of the limitations indicated By courts and Europe. It also contemplates the control of the modifications made on the registration and the obligation to ensure immediate access by the Labor Inspection and the legal representation of the workers, as well as remote access in the case of electronic records. No changes in sanctions. One of the measures that fell during the vote was the possibility of modifying the Smooth articles (Law on infractions and sanctions in the social order) that regulates the sanctioning regime for companies that fail to comply with the obligation to register the working day, in order to discourage fraud in the time registry. At present, the sanction for offending companies is a maximum of 7,500 euros per company, while in the proposal that was voted together with the Law of Day Reduction It increased up to 10,000 euros for each worker (not by company) affected by an infraction. Work for free. The EPA data From the second quarter of 2025 estimates that in Spain more than 7 million overtime weekly are made. Of these, 2,821,300 hours They are not remunerated They are not compensated. That is, the worker gives the employer 40.21% of those hours. Despite these figures, the decree that the Government processes leaves the structural cracks that allowed the evasion of the norm Not registering real time worked by employees, when easily manipulable methods are used such as paper schedule records.

We talk about how new generations are reported and we try the new XPEng in Crossover 1×21

by

To read the newspaper Let’s see Tiktok. The new generations seem to reject the traditional media – prensa, radio, television – and for a long time there has been a clear tendency to seek information on social networks. That is precisely what he tells us Emilio Doménech (@Nananisimo), journalist who lived in the first person the US elections or the assault on the Capitol and now reflects on how we consume information In Tiktok era and artificial intelligence. To accompany him they are as always Jaume Lahoz and Carlos Santa Engracia, with whom he discusses that media transformation. Not only that: we also talk about how AI – which more and more floods social networks dangerously – it can end up influencing the way of informing us and the risks that it entails. Although this interview occupies much of the episode, we have two special sections. On the one hand, a section of impossible technological anecdotes. On the other, Jaume has gone to Munich and has tried the XPEng G6 and G9 for Tell us everything. Enjoy Crossover! On YouTube | Crossover

Chinese researchers believe they have discovered a simple “trick” to lose weight: eat raw vegetables

by

For decades, scientists have discussed the effects of vegan and ovo -vegetarian diets on weight loss and heart disease prevention. Without much success, really. Not because The clues in favor have not accumulatedbut because something was missing. A common link, a thread that organized all that scientific evidence and gave meaning. In recent years, a team of doctors from the Qilu Hospital of the University of Shandong He thinks he found That piece that was missing. And it’s an important piece. Above all, because obesity is becoming The great epidemic of the 21st century. 1.9 billion overweight peoplesome 600 million people with obesity and up. Something that would not be a problem if it wasn’t because, like They wrote Yani Xu and his team in their research, “obesity and its associated complications not only lead to an increase in morbidity and mortality, but also to a reduction in quality of life.” Finding simple weight loss strategies goes beyond aesthetics or fashion: it is an investment in quality of life. But did not solve Ozempic? It is true that the arrival of Ozempic (and the rest of New agonist medications from LPG-1) has radically changed our way of seeing overweight: as Antonio Ortiz said, these medications are helping us understand that Metabolism and appetite are biological facts, not moral elections. Biological facts that, as we see, bring huge social consequences. Plan b. Therefore, although the “new ozempics” are being revolutionary, they are far from being the solution to all our problems. Not only is these very expensive medications (and obesity shows a clear correlation with greater rates of poverty and precariousness economic); They are not substitutes for healthier and more balanced habits. That’s where Yani Xu and his team enter. In search of lost evidence. Tracking in the previous bibliography, Chinese researchers found 24 studies that followed more than 2,000 people. They were quite quality studies (randomized clinical trials) and that has allowed them to conclude that there was a detail that showed very strong links with a lower risk of obesity and heart problems: raw vegetables. In fact, this is true even when they eliminated the effect of genetic factors from the equation. Something not too common and, therefore, very interesting. “The vegetarian diet is a viable option for people who wish to control their body weight and (prevent) metabolic diseases,” They explain. How is it possible? The researchers They shuffle some ideas: From its high content of phytosterols and fatty fats to its role in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. However, it is not too clear: we have a statistical explanation, but we still lack a mechanism of action. We may have solved one of the big problems when establishing a clear relationship between weight loss and veganism, but not at all. However, with the data that Let’s have on the tableit seems that the idea of ​​progressively increasing the weight of vegetables (and raw vegetables) seems like a positive strategy. More positive than we thought.

‘Operation Triunfo’ is the prime video tool to grow at full speed. The key is in Latin America

by

Although the audience figures did not seem clear until Operation Triunfo 2023 concluded, the program He ended up throwing a very positive balancebecoming the most watched national premiere in the history of prime video in Spain. Therefore, the platform has decided to bet strongly on this new stage, seeking to maximize its scope, and devote itself especially as a cultural reference for generation Z and decisively reaching various Latin American countries. Some figures. Among the things that Prime Video has told is that it reached 3.5 million unique viewers during its 14 weeks of broadcast. A triumph that extended, as Amazon will certainly interest, Beyond the mere audience Of the platform: in its 14 weeks of broadcast, Amazon registered one million visits to the OT thematic store, 720,000 interactions with Alexa and 66 million votes through the app. They are additional business routes that corroborate why OT is so important for the digital store economy. Audience involved. The great triumph of the program (worth the redundancy) has been to earn to very involved spectators with the format: 8.6 million weekly votes and 1.6 million records in the app (the previous record was at 820,000) that add up to those mentioned 66 million; 5,000 million global visualizations and 80,000 publications in Tiktok; a peak of 180,000 users connected simultaneously on YouTube; And more than 27,000 attendees in disc firms, so that everything is not virtual. And in addition, of course, hashtags about the program after in the list of Twitter trends every Monday, on many occasions monopolizing the first ten positions and making the edition of constant conversation during its 14 weeks. For all of Latin America. ‘OT 2025 ‘premieres on September 15 at 10:00 p.m. in Spain with simultaneous live transmission for the first time in its history for six Latin American countries: Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile and Peru. It is a Amazon response to the growing demand of the fans of the program and, above all, wants to take ‘OT’ beyond Spain, and that Prime Video impacts more globally. Undoubtedly, an ambitious intention but that if it is possible to give an extraordinary dissemination to the program. To increase this impact will bet on social networkswith 15 weekly minutes with which the contestants to generate content in a “Tiktok Corner” within the Academy, with live reactions on Fridays on social networks at 15. Again, as happened last year, social networks will form a primary part of the Amazon strategy. There will also be new weekly programs: ‘OT connection (Tuesday to Saturday at 8:00 p.m.) and’ Face B ‘(Sunday, also at eight in the afternoon). Technological investment To provide viewers A program at the heightAmazon has put on their feet the greatest scenario in the history of Prime Video, with 358 m² of LED screens, 10 cameras, including the Spderm, and more than 750 lighting devices. It is a considerable technological leap and as Amazon has revealed to the press, it is only the spearhead of a very ambitious project, where everything is integrated more organically than in previous stages. For example, the study where ‘connection ot’ is recorded just below the academy, so that there is immediate access to teachers and contestants. And there will be no post -grooves or videosumeros: everything will be part of the gala. Youth is sought. Therefore, expand borders, more programs and support determined to the possibilities of social networks. All with a very clear intention: to appeal to the interests of generation Z, which is able to make a fan phenomenon germinate that is the one that really gives life to this type of programs. In search of the youngest generations of spectators to get the format, which is already 24 years old, it remains fresh.

Elon Musk’s brother

by

A miracle … of technology. On Saturday night, more than 3,000 drones illuminated the Vatican’s sky to recreate the best known works of Miguel Ángel or Pope Francis’s affable face. But the real surprise was under the swarm of drones. The head of the show was Kimbal Musk, Elon’s brother, who had the idea during a festival in the Nevada desert. A little context. As a culmination to the world encounter on human fraternity, the Vatican organized the Grace for the World eventwhich had a poster of stars such as Pharrell Williams, John Legend and Andrea Bocelli, who sang Duo with Karol G. The most commented of the night, in addition to that unexpected duet, was the synchronized flight of the 3,000 drones about the Basilica of San Pedro before 80,000 spectators. While the music sounded, the drones recreated with points of light “the creation of Adam”, which Miguel Ángel painted in the Sistine Chapel, or the “Piedad del Vaticano”, which Miguel Ángel Buonarroti carved in Marble 500 years ago. Nova Sky Stories. The company responsible for the show has as CEO and founder a man of unmistakable surname: Kimbal Musk. How is the brother’s brother who wants to take us to Mars ended, who says he felt the voice of God After trying the ayahuascaorganizing a light show for the Holy See? That is the best part of the story. Kimbal Musk with a Nova Sky Stories drone Kimbal founded Nova Sky Stories In 2022 when buying Intel Drone Light Shows, the Intel division for this type of shows. But he had the idea a year earlier during the “Free Burn” festival, which replaced Burning Man during the pandemic. It was there that an artist named Ralph Nauta used drones to recreate in the sky the effigy of the man who traditionally burns in Burning Man. What Kimbal witnessed, in your own words“He changed his life.” A year and a half of negotiations. Convinced of the potential of drones not as a simple substitute for fireworks, but as a new means to create large -scale art, Kimbal Musk approached the Vatican In early 2024, when Pope Francis still lived. After his death, the new Pope Leo XIV gave his blessing to continue with the event. A fleet of 9,000 drones. Like Elon Musk, Nova Sky Stories presumes a completely vertical ecosystem: they design and manufacture their own drones, and develop all software and firmware internally. This allows them an agility and problem solving capacity that, according to themselves, is unique in the sector. Although in the Vatican only 3,000 drones flew simultaneously, the company has an arsenal of more than 9,000. Each weighs 340 grams and can illuminate with a 24 -bit color depth. To orient, drones use satellite positioning technology “Real-Time Kinematics” that corrects real-time GPS data with centimeters accuracy. In a long -term show such as the Vatican, the drones are scheduled to return to their load bases, recharge and be replaced by others in the air, all without the public perceiving it. If a drone deviates from his route, he first tries to return to his position, then return to the base and, as a last resort, turn off your engine to fall to the ground. Substitutes of fireworks? The Vatican event confirms an upward trend: drones are replacing or complementing fireworks in mass events worldwide. From the Mega -spectacles in China to the most modest versions of the Malaga Fair or the Mercè festivities in Barcelona. They are safe, silent and reusable. But for Kimbal Musk the objective goes beyond simple substitution: “I do not idolize the technology. Idolate the result.” His mission is to consolidate drones as a legitimate artistic medium, capable of telling stories and, above all, of generating an emotional response: “If we can make the grandmother cry …”.

There was a time when we went to supermarkets to fill the fridge. We do it more and more to eat in them

by

There was a time when people went to supermarkets to fill their pantry. Not anymore. Or at least not only does it for that. As The tastes changedhabits and especially Rhythm of life It has also been doing our relationship with retail chains. When today we go to a super we can do it to take food that we will then cook at home, but also to buy already prepared dishes or even (increasingly) stay lunch inside the premises, as if we were in a bar. In 2025 the super do not compete only with neighborhood stores, they do it with restaurants to which every time They cost them more Offer profitable menus. What happened? That our way of consuming is changing. And with her the super. Black left over white A report of the consultant Worldpanel by numerator Efe revealed that it confirms that hypermarkets are no longer just places we go to food to prepare food at home or already prepared dishes. In addition to all that, every year hundreds of thousands of people cross their doors to do something else: breakfast, lunch or snack right there. Yes, as if they were in a restaurant or a bar. What do the figures say? According to Veronika Khurshudyan clarifiesspokesman for the consultant, throughout the last year (at the end of July 2025) 6.9 million people have gone to hypermarket and supermarket coffee shops to buy food they have then consumed away from home. The data is interesting, but the report includes another that is still more: about 1.3 million customers chose to stay in the establishment and eat food in situ. The data is significant for two reasons. First, its reach. Second, the trend. Those 1.3 million consumers double the figure of the previous year. “Shows an increasing interest in enjoying the experience within the establishment itself”, Notice Khurshudyan. The most common is still that we buy food to consume it at home (31% of the time) or in the place where we work (16%), but the data reflects a growing business for large chains. “The coffee shops in the hyper and super begin to consolidate as a flexible point of consumption that combines the practical ‘to carry’ with the possibility of staying and enjoying at the time,” insists the consultant’s spokeswoman. Is there more data? Yes. And while they are not so clear about where we eat and if we do it inside or outside the hypermarkets themselves, they show a clear trend: we are increasingly going to the super search of cooked food. No paste packages, tomatoes or minced meat trays. No. What we want is the ration of carbonara spaghettis already prepared. Dishes that we can devour instantly. Another report by Worldpanel by numeraton, Posted in August by Five daysshows that food sales ready for consumption have shot in the last three years in the Spanish premises 49% in terms of value. Where do we eat? The report reflects that although in most cases (80%) we realize those dishes already ready in our own homes, it is increasingly common for us to consummate them, far from the table of our living room or kitchen. That study Specifically, I did not delve into details, but it did slide that the ‘extra -adomatic enjoyment’ was growing double digit: with the data and April in the hand it was 15% if we talk about frequency and 29% in terms of sales value. Worldpanel is not the only one who has found the growing interest in already cooked dishes. In his Sectorial Report In March, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Map) points out that the consumption of prepared dishes increased 6.4% in the last year until leaving the average consumption per person in 17.47 kg. Not just that. If we take into account that indicator (the average per capita intake) the prepared dishes are the ones that grow the most between the categories identified by the map. While the food set was reduced by 0.5%, with falls in the case of fish and vegetables, already ready foods grew by 5.4%. Why do we do it? For comfort. Or rather, changes in priorities to Manage our time. Worldpanel and the Promarca association contributed Some keys A while ago with a survey that reflects that 47% of Spaniards consider that they lack time throughout the day, which provides a golden opportunity to those known as “convenience” products, those who focus on the ease and comfort for the consumer. According to The same study “convenience” is the main motivation that moves customers in 45% of the occasions when they demand food and drink. It may seem little, but it exceeds other reasons, such as health (18.6%) or pleasure (22.6%). The trend is clear enough to A few months ago The president of Mercadona, Juan Roig, recognized his conviction that in not much time the Spaniards will feed ourselves with the food we bought outside the home. Not with the ingredients, no, but with the already prepared dishes that we take to our home. “I said and kept it: in the middle of the 21st century there will be no kitchens”, He settled. The data of prepared dishes manufacturers suggest that it is not disenchanted: in 2024 its consumption increased in Spain 6.6%. How do companies respond? Roig has not only shared his forecast. His chain has been preparing for that stage (gastronomically speaking) apocalyptic with his line ‘Ready to eat’a branch of the company whose origins can be traced to 2018 and that is committed to the sale of dishes, from incoming to pizzas, lentils, or meatballs, between a long etcetera. In your last Annual Report Mercadona pointed out that last year the service was extended to a hundred and a half of premises, which raises the network to 1,260 supermarkets, 1,200 in Spain and the 60s of Portugal. Moreover, the chain ensures that the section “has not stopped growing” and Keep incorporating it to more premises. And Roig’s company … Read more

Spain is an agricultural giant with mud feet

To understand the current problem of the Canarian banana only two figures are needed: the first is 0.42 (“The average price that the producer will receive for the most quality fruit (…) per kilo “); the second is 0.75 (” the production costs “of that same kilo of bananas). To understand the full problem, we have to take perspective. Because, if right now the Canarian sector is dying, a couple of months ago we saw the bananas in the peninsula up to seven euros per kilo. What is happening? As Roman Delgado explainedtoday (and with the data of week 36 of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food) prices “continue to generate losses in the crop, because with them the exploitation costs are not covered.” And yet, this would not have to be as bad as it really is. The Canarian banana, Thanks to the Posei Program of the European Unionhas one of the most refined compensation systems in the country. In principle and in these circumstances, the EU would complete the producers’ accounts with 33 cents. However, the situation is so tense that (in many cases) or with those aids, costs would be covered. And that prices have not been as low as they feared. Above all, because it has entered much less Latin American banana in the peninsula of what was expected. Meteorological problems on the other side of the puddle and logistics problems have produced a relative shortage of peninsular markets. This means that, although (as happened in 2024) everyone expected a price drop – related to the decrease in institutional demand with the arrival of summer, fortunately the collapse has been lower. Map (Via Canarias now) A problem that comes from afar … That is, the banana has saved furniture at the last moment and, even so, they are in free fall. But the key question is why: and the answer is a succession of years between bad and nefarious that have led On the verge of bankruptcy to any of the main cooperatives of the archipelago (which dragged problems from the eruption of the palm). … And that nobody is clear how long it will arrive. Because, remember, 2025 was the good year. That is, everything seems to indicate that as is the case with other traditional Spanish crops (such as the olive tree), the Canary Islands banana is on the edge of death and does not know. For now, it is still alive because the possei is armored until 2027, when the next budget framework of the Union is approved. The problem is that chaining another three bad years waiting for a solution from heaven to “fall very similar to” survive hooked to a machine. ” Even more when The ghost of the European agreement with Mercosur Threat to complicate (even more) the situation. The truth is that Canary Islands, Like the rest of Spanish agricultureneed a background reflection: it has grown thanks to the European “regulatory walls”, but those walls have been cracking for years. It’s time to reflect seriously about what we want to be older.

The next update of the OPPO operating system promises to break the barriers between ecosystems. Color 16 will include native compatibility with Apple accessories, promising that Android users can directly link their AirpodsApple Watch and other devices of the Cupertino brand without third -party applications. A key novelty. Zhou Yibao, responsible for the product of the OPPO FND series, has confirmed this functionality in social networks through A presentation in which he has offered some outstanding details of the next Find X9. To demonstrate it, the executive matched some Airpods 4 With a Find X9 device, showing how integration will work instantaneously in the new color version. Beyond the airpods. Although the demonstration focused on Apple’s headphones, the description of “Native Support of Apple devices” suggests that compatibility will be extended to other ecosystem accessories, potentially including the Apple Watch and other brand wearables. Zhou Yibei showing the compatibility of the airpods in color 16. Image: Weibo/Whylab Why is it important. Traditionally, using Apple accessories with Android devices requires little elegant solutions or third -party applications that do not always work properly. This native color in color 16 promises to eliminate those friction and thus offer a more instantaneous experience for users who combine devices of both ecosystems. An operating system that eliminates barriers. Coloros 16, which will be based on Android 16, will be the operating system that premiere the Find X9 when they reach the market. Although it is not yet confirmed, the latest information suggests that the launch would be planned by the end of October. We will have to wait to learn more information about it. The rest of the novelties. Apple compatibility is not the only thing Oppo wanted to let it be reflected in the last Yibao videos. And is that the manager also confirmed That the standard model will have a 7.025 mAh battery while the PRO will reach 7,500 mAh, both with thick content of 7.99 mm and 8.25 mm respectively. The devices will premiere flat screens with ultradelgados and symmetrical frames, 50 MP cameras (with 200 MP periscopic teleobjective in the PRO) and significant improvements in video recording. Is not the only one. Oppo is not the first Android manufacturer to bet on integration with the Apple ecosystem.

Japan has reached a new longevity record when registering 99,763 people 100 years or olderof which 88% are women, consolidating as the more aged society of the world and with the greatest life expectancy, attributed to healthy diets, low rates of obesity and an active culture in old age. However, this figure also has a face B: the birthday collapse and a lack of labor that has become a first -order problem. Or maybe on one occasion. The demographic challenge. Japan, with almost a 30% of its population Above 65, it has become a world laboratory where it is tested if automation can replace the labor that disappears. The country faces a shortage of workers in essential sectors such as Transportation and logisticswhat has placed companies like Amazon at the forefront of a decisive experiment: demonstrate that robotics and artificial intelligence can maintain the rhythm of fast deliveries in an increasingly aged environment. More robots than humans. In the Logistics Center of Chiba, near Tokyo, Amazon has deployed a Arsenal of Technologies that not only multiplies the ability to 40% storage Regarding a conventional warehouse, but it already has more robots than human employees. There, an automatic machine adjusts the paper packaging to the exact size of each product, while a classification system coordinates multiple items to pack them in a single shipment. The objective is that repetitive work disappears and that the process wins in speed and efficiency, with the support of the artificial intelligence model Deepfleetcapable of coordinating the entire robotic fleet and that has already improved a 10% performance. However, and despite technological sophistication, humans remain indispensable: they are responsible for carrying the packages, a critical phase of the distribution chain. The decline of transport. Because, in reality, the most pressing challenge is found in the transport of goods. With a third of drivers about to retire and a forecast of 30% reduction in the workforce by 2030 (which will mean falling to the 480,000 active truck drivers), The Japanese logistics system faces a crisis of historical magnitudes. The problem worsened with the called “Question 2024”a new legislation that limits driving hours and that has further cut the availability of chóferes. Companies like SBS holdings have opted for Immediate solutionssuch as the hiring of hundreds of foreign workers, aware that autonomous driving is still far from offering a large -scale viable alternative. Japanese skepticism. Plus: Despite the image of Japan as “land of robots”, reality in the country’s stores is far from that perception. According to Interact analysis dataoutside the Amazon ecosystem there are barely 0.17 robots per warehouse, compared to 0.68 in the United States and 0.57 in China. The cause It is multiple: a mountainous geography that forces to build small logistics and several floors, an electronic commerce market that only represents the 10% of retail sales (well below 27% in the United Kingdom) and very high installation costs that dissuade many companies. Nippon Express, one of the greats in the sector, has tried Advanced systems As autonomous wheelbarrows, mobile shelves and robotic chairs for operators, but their managers do not yet trust that these investments can be amortized soon. The survival dilemma. The substantive issue transcends profitability calculations. As warns in the Financial Times Akira Unno, from Nippon Express, Japan has entered a stage where there is not enough generational relief: the country today has just one million 18 -year -old young people, compared to two million past decades. The debate, then, is no longer whether a robot can save costs, but if the national logistics can continue working Without a radical transformation. For companies like Amazon, the way It is clear: Expand automation to local distribution centers and bring artificial intelligence to the final client. For others, the question remains more than open: how many years are needed to recover the investment and if, even with patience, there will be enough hands to hold the supply chain in a country where demography seems to play against any economic calculation.

When we talk about the Byd Seal U in Xataka We already commented that Byd’s play with his plug -in hybrid was almost perfect. It puts a family car on the market, comfortable and, above all, much cheaper than the rivals. Because yes, the Toyota C-HR with which he is fighting for being the best-selling plug-in hybrid costs the same but is much smaller. It is difficult not to start here this test of the BYD Seal 6 DM-I in any of its variants, sedan or family. The first option starts at 37,000 euros (before the discounts that we will detail). The family adds 2,000 euros more cost. If we are looking for rivals, a PEUGEOT 308 plug -in hybrid is in the 35,000 euros barrier and it is half a shorter meter. Literally. Below 40,000 euros, no brand offers plug -in hybridization with a similar size. Either below 45,000 euros. A plug -in hybrid Skoda (the closest for price) costs 48,000 euros at least. That is, its largest rival for size already part of about 9,000 euros more (before the discounts of each brand). With that premise it is easy to understand why ByD is hurting the plug -in hybrid market and planting Toyota with the only car in the market. Because up to the 6 DM-I by 6 DM-I, the car offers a good quality sensation and, with its highest equipment, the screen grows to 15.6 inches. Otherwise, All cars arrive as standard With: electric seats, heated and ventilated, heated steering wheel, interior in vegan leather, adaptive cruise control, 360 degree camera, bidirectional load, voice assistant, Android Auto or Carplay … to mention just some examples. The car also moves very applauded. It is far from the classic soft suspensions that have the rest of the byd cars and helps their enormous battle and a lower center of gravity to go much more on the site. We have not been able to study your adaptive cruise control with peace of mind but we can say that in general it has been correctly, little intrusive in lane maintenance. Of course, as we said, it is an analysis that lacks kilometers of a long -term test. What we can say is that the combustion engine of 1.5 liters with the gasoline engine is a bit fair. Despite its 212 hp, the car gives not accelerating with the power that its numbers say. It behaves very well llaneando, it is a comfortable car but it would be appreciated a better answer when the right pedal is stepped strongly. This is because, in the absence of a deeper analysis, this BYD Seal 6 DM-I prioritizes the use of the combustion engine as an electricity generator. This accumulates in the battery and in the vast majority of the circumstances, it is the electric motor that drives the wheels. Only when we have stepped together and sustained the effort in the accelerator, it shows that the … Read more
