The transition to the electric car The Volkswagen group has been choking. His ID.3 It did not become the Volkswagen Electric Golf they expected. Their ID.4 and ID.5 They have had better results but they have not been the supervants that were guessed. In its high range, the Porsche Taycan It started in an extraordinary form but The results have been deflando. At the same time, in Audi, the Audi e-tron (then Q8 e-tron) has closed his Plant in Brussels and the shared platform between the Audi Q6 e-tron and the Porsche Macan It has been launched with important delay. But a company has advanced and has been fulfilling without making a lot of noise. That is Skoda, which has had in the Enyaq A really successful electric. Since it was launched, They have delivered more than 200,000 electric cars of the first electric SUV of Skoda. Now, the Czech firm redoubles its bet with the Skoda Elroq, an electric SUV, four and a half meters that will compete in which the most complicated segment of this technology is becoming. Skoda Elorq technical card Skoda Elroq Body type Five -seater SUV Measures and weight 4.49 meters long, 1.89 meters wide and 1.65 meters high. Wheelbase of 2.77 meters. Weight of 1,949 kg. Trunk 470 liters. Maximum power 220 kW (295 hp) WLTP consumption To be confirmed.

Useful 52 kWh battery versions (168 hp), 59 KWh Useful (201 CV) and 77 KWH Useful (281 or 295 hp). Price and launch Already available 52 kWh battery: from 34,490 euros (without discounts from the Moves Plan or commercial offers). 60 kWh battery: from 38,390 euros (without discounts from the Moves Plan or commercial offers). 85 kWh battery: from 43,480 euros (without discounts from the Moves Plan or commercial offers). 85x kWh battery: to confirm Born to push sales With the success of Skoda Enyaq behind them and with the promise that the Skoda epyq It will be the great affordable electric car, the Czech firm wants to make this Elroq an electric SUV that adds in a segment that begins to be defined as a great alternative for those who decide to jump into the electric car with a car for everything. In Skoda they define the Elroq as The electric karoq. And that has its advantages. Beyond the immediacy of electric motors or the absence of noise and vibrations, the interior space is really wide. It is a 4.49 -meter long car with 2,765 meters of wheelbase, which guarantees a very wide space for the rear seats. A 470 -liter trunk is added, which guarantees sufficient space for any average family. On the outside, aesthetically, he plays with aggressive and sharp surfaces, evolving the line we already saw in his first electrical model. It surprises its aerodynamic coefficient, which remains at 0.26 cx, which is very good record. A figure achieved by the slightly curved surfaces of its front in which the brand’s identity signs are maintained, such as a particularly muscular hood. Already inside, everything dominates the central screen of 13 inches. It is located in a dashboard that plays with the ways to “take it out” forward. In front of the steering wheel and compared to the central screen, the five -inch instrument box seems tiny. Of course, it has the precise information and you will not miss anything but it is remarkable that its quality is not, from far, that of the central panel that has good resolution and well -chosen colors. The instrument picture is combined with a head-up display that can take advantage of the functions of augmented reality. The panel is bright and reads well in all situations. The indications with augmented reality are good and facilitate the worst navigation I am skeptical with its use on a day -to -day basis, I am not sure that it is not the typical colorful function of which the driver ends up getting tired quickly. The instrument picture looks tiny next to the large central screen but framing it gives it a quality perception that does not have other Volkswagen models. What the Volkswagen group should review is its software. We navigate and sail through its infotainment system and were unable to find something as simple as moving the projection height of the head-up display. A pity in a good quality panel that can give a lot of play. In addition, it forces us to go through the screen to turn off the alarms due to speeding, which is always a bit cumbersome. The steering wheel is simple but their buttons are easy to drive and have the essential minimum. Under the screen there are buttons for rapid air conditioning functions, although the temperature or seat heating remains on the screen, a wireless load of 15 w (refrigerated, good detail) and two USB-C shots. The screen is of good quality but the menus are lioso and it is difficult to find some functions much more than it should. In general, the level of finishes feels good. They are not the most luxurious materials on the market but details as simple as frame the instrument box screen with a small visor already provides a quality perceived superior to that of other Volkswagen models where it is exposed. If we talk about its moving performance, Skoda Elroq is a vehicle that prioritizes, above all, comfort. The direction is soft but does not prevent being accurate when we linked curves on a secondary road. At a quiet and appropriate … Read more

You may not be very clear why but it is possible that Ebro as a car manufacturer already sounds to you. Cars? Of vehicles, we will say. Ebro, the firm that is taking cars from the old Nissan factory in Barcelona, ​​which has a plan with Chinese Chery group and those who aspire to place 20,000 cars in the market In a single year, it is already underway. He does it with a SUV of four and a half meters, of combustion, and with a project that includes future hybrid motorizations and plug -in hybrids … But before, what are we talking about? What is all Ebro? Where does Ebro come from? If Ebro sounds like something to you, it is because this car company collect the legacy left by their ancestors In Barcelona. At the beginning of the 20th century, Ford landed in Cádiz. The firm wanted to settle in Spain and doubted between Cádiz and Barcelona, ​​opting for this first coastal city. However, after government pressures to raise taxes, the company moved to Barcelona. There, he launched a factory in Poble Nou but on his way the Spanish civil war would cross, which resulted in economically hard years and the abandonment of Ford of the factory. In 1953, the North American company would get a contest for the manufacture of tractors from its marketers in Spain. But just a year later, the State nationalizes the company and reorganizes it under the name of MOTOR IBERICA SA. The latter creates Ebro, opening offices in Barcelona, ​​Madrid and Ávila. From then on, the company produces buses, roads, vans, SUVs and tractors that owe its origin to Ford Thames Trader trucks. In 1965, relations end completely with Ford and in 1967 the company moves to the Free Zone of Barcelona where it begins to produce its vehicles in some facilities that arrive to this day. Ebro buys various companies that manufactured their own diesel engine or mounted the Romeo-Fadic vans with license Alfa Romeo, among other products. It is in those years when Massey-Ferguson puts the capital in Ebro and, from then on, the manufactured tractors lose their name. In spite In the facilities the Nissan Patrol and the light van Nissan Vanette. These models would be the last to mount the Ebro emblem on the front. In 1987, Ebro disappears When the company became Nissan Motor Ibérica SA. The facilities, however, remained alive until the Japanese company ceases its activities in Barcelona. So, years later, the Ebro project returns the activity partially and in 2023 the Chery group confirms that it will manufacture again at the Ebro facilities. The intention since then is to produce there omoda and Jaecoo cars, but also of Ebro that has its first releases in Ebro S700 and Ebro S800. A commercial offer that begins with the first of them and that we have already been able to prove. EBRO S700 What, for the moment, is done in the old Nissan factory is to finish assembling the cars that arrive from China. That is why the company has managed to put a car on the market in a margin of time that would be impossible. Ebro S700 baby (and much) of the Chery Tyggo 7 Pro But he plays with some interesting incentives. The car is a four and a half meters SUV with good habitability and an interior careful enough to fight with the competition. But, above all, it comes with a very wide equipment to attract new customers. Ebro S700 Technical Card Ebro S700 Body type. Five seat SUV. Measures and weight. 4,553 meters long 1,862 meters wide and 1,696 meters high. Wheelbase of 2.67 meters. Trunk. 500 liters. Maximum power. 147 hp in the gasoline version.

Compliance on all fronts It will not be the Ebro S700 a car that is going to fall in love with its dynamics but we can say that you can look at you from you to much of the competition in the vast majority of the sections and that who looks for a medium -sized SUV for 30,000 euros It will have one of the alternatives with more market equipment in Ebro S700. On the outside, the Ebro S700 looks a robust car. Square forms and a high hood help to give presence to a car of 4,553 meters long and 1,862 meters long. Its inner habitability is good but, above all, it has a 500 liter trunk as incentive to those who are looking for a car for the family. Already inside, the space for the driver is wide and the seats are wide and comfortable. But, above all, the good impression of materials surprises. Although they are not excessively fluffy, they are distributed padded by the doors, in the dashboard and in the central console. There is also space for a wireless mobile phone load (50W) and two USB (A and C) ports to load it. In the satellite levers there are controls with rough endings, such as roulettes, which facilitate their handling and give good feelings in their hand. The steering wheel, yes, stores the buttons on two almost flat surfaces that safely presses the indicated button without taking off the eye of the windshield. The screens are 12.3 -inch twins And they are sheltered in a single frame, which gives a greater sense of continuity and quality between both panels. The resolution is fair and its deficiencies are more exposed when we activate the Apple Carplay or the Android Autowhere the edges of the buttons and maps are not as defined as … Read more
