March 2016: Geneva Auto Show Review

Last of the Real Car Shows?Ever since the days of General Motors’Motorama in the 1950s, car shows were theplace where people could catch a glimpse ofthe automotive future. But in the last decade,automakers have spent less money on wildconcepts leaving the car shows lacking in suchfantastic displays.

Detroit and London’s loss has left Geneva asone of the remaining shows chosen to displaythe few radical concepts that remain. The longlist of unveilings at the show include manyglobal production debuts as well as thosespectacular design studies that make carshows so much better than simply visiting adealership.

For 2016, Geneva does have plenty ofproduction vehicle introductions. Volvo and Kiaproudly announced their newest wagon in theface of an onslaught of new crossovers andSUVs. Maserati pulled the cover off of the long-anticipated Levante crossover which shouldtake the brand to the next level in its shiftupscale. PSA and Toyota used the show tounveil the Citroen Space Tourer, PeugeotTraveller, and Toyota Proace triplet vans.

On the more fantastic side, the show was notlacking for exotics. After a decade, Bugattishowed its second-generation (under theVolkswagen banner) sports car in the form ofthe 1,500hp Chiron. Italian hypercar makerPagani christened their newest model as theHuara BC with only 800hp but also far lessweight than the Bug. Hailing from northernEurope, the Koenigsegg Regera harnessesmore than 1,500 hybrid horsepower and 80-unitproduction run to garner a $1.9 million pricetag. The Dutch brand Spyker showed itshandcrafted C8 Preliator which the ownerdrives when they are tired of more commoncars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

When seven-figure Bugatti and Koenigseggmodels aren’t enough, it’s the flights of fantasythat make this show. Opel echoed its classicsports coupe of the early 1970s in the Opel GTcoupe concept. Lamborghini’s Centenarioreflected on the 100th anniversary of founderFerruccio Lamborghini’s birth. And Rimacshowed of the Concept One with its ability totop 100km/h in 2.6 seconds under only electricpower. These are car show cars.




European Car of the Year

2016 Opel/Vauxhall AstraA jury of 58 journalists from 22 countries

vote each year to decide which vehicle is the

best new product on the European market.

This year, the new Opel/Vauxhall Astra eked

out a victory with 309 points. Introducing the

new Global Delta platform, the Astra will lead

GM’s rollout which will include the new Cruze

and Equinox in North America. Volvo’s XC90

crossover gathered 294 points and the Mazda

MX-5 followed in third with 202 points.

2016 Volvo XC90 2016 Mazda MX-5




Apollo

2016 Apollo Arrow•After it filed for bankruptcy in 2012, exotic car maker GumpertSportswagenmanufaktur was liquidated and sold to Consolidated Ideal Team Venture, along with deTomaso of Italy, and reorganized as Apollo Automobil

•Production is expected to begin in 2017 and will look just as flashy as the concept

•Powered by an Audi-supplied 4.0L V8, the engine sports two

turbochargers and cranks out enough power (claimed to be around

1,000hp and 1,000 Nm of torque) to accelerate the 1,300kg Arrow to

100km/h (62 mph) in about 2.9 seconds and gives the car a top speed

around 360km/h (224 mph)

•Pricing is expected to start under €1 million (US$1,101,150)




Aston Martin

2017 Aston Martin DB11•Replacing the aging DB9, the new DB11 evolves the Aston Martin styling theme into a smoother package

•A new 600hp 5.2L V12 lies under the long hood and sports two turbochargers adding more power and releasing fewer emissions

•Part of the brand’s “Second Century” plan, the DB11 harnesses all of the

technology expected from a luxury tourer including updated infotainment

and a new bonded aluminum platform

•Pricing will begin around £154,900 (US$220,205) when sales start later

this year




Beijing Automotive

2016 Borgward BX5 and BX6•The newly revived Borgwardbrand introduced its second and third nameplates

•Situated below the previously announced BX7, the BX5 comes in the form of a standard two-row crossover while the BX6 takes a sportier, coupe-like silhouette with its crossover body

•Both models measure about 4.5 meters long (4,483mm for the BX5 and

4,510mm for the BX6)

•Powering the BX5 is a hybrid powertrain with a total output of 258hp while

the “Projekt BX6 TS” is said to have a turbo four-cylinder joined to an

electric motor with a combined output of 422hp to power all four wheels




Daimler

2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet•The first C-Class convertible will feature a fully lined and quick folding top (up or down in less than 20 seconds, at speeds of up to 31 mph)

•Like the C-Class coupe, the Cabriolet will be offered with a sport suspension or active AIRMATIC air suspension to improve ride and handling

•In rear-wheel or optional 4Matic all-wheel drive, the Cabriolet is offered

with a turbo 2.0L 241hp four-cylinder; opting up to the 362hp turbo V6

requires 4Matic which comes with AMG’s adaptive Ride Control

•All engines are mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission




Fiat Chrysler

2017 Ferrari GTC4 Lusso•Complete restyling of the four-passenger Ferrari FF keeping the controversial “shooting break” design by receiving all new body panels, making the GTC4 Lusso significantly more aerodynamic than the FF

•Rear wheel steering and 4RM Evo all-wheel drive remain as core parts of the model

•A new instrument panel places the tachometer squarely in front of the

driver and adds a 10.25-inch touchscreen in the center console

•With its power increased to 680hp, torque now at 514 lb-ft, and

compression ratio raised to 13.5:1, the front-mounted engine keeps its

DOHC V12 design and 6,262cc displacement

•Sprints to 100km/h now only take 3.4 seconds and acceleration continues

on up to its top speed of 208 mph




Fiat Chrysler

2017 Maserati Levante•After years of promises, Maserati finally unveiled their first sport-utility

•Crafted in Mirafiori, Italy and developed from the Fiat-Chrysler parts bin, the new model features all-wheel drive, an “advanced active air suspension” with five ride heights, and Maserati’s “Skyhook” suspension for improved handling

•Offered with a choice of V6 engines including the Ferrari developed twin-

turbo 2,979cc gasoline (in 350hp or 430hp versions) or the 275hp 2.987cc

turbodiesel mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission

•Production and sales will start in the first quarter of 2016




Fuji

2016 Subaru XV concept•Previews the next generation of Subaru’s popular subcompact crossover

•Currently based on the Impreza, the concept hints that the next edition will continue the tradition with its similarity to the next-generation Impreza five-door

•Just a concept with no details given

•Powertrain expected to be no different than the new Impreza including

traditional all-wheel drive and boxer four-cylinder engines




Geely

2017 Volvo V90•Following on the heels of the S90 sedan and XC90 crossover, the V90 large wagon is the non-crossover taking its very good looks from the S90 sedan

•The big luxurious passenger compartment sits ahead of a more-than-ample usable cargo hold, the type on which Volvo built its reputation

•Like the related XC90 crossover and S90 sedan, the V90 wagon will be

offered in three powertrain levels: T5 turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder, T6

with its supercharged and turbocharged four, or T8 adding in the hybrid

drivetrain




General Motors

2016 Opel GT concept•Paying homage to the original Opel GT, the new concept takes the idea and moves it into the 21st century without making the car “retro”

•Using the original’s long nose/short tail silhouette, the new concept doesn’t take its styling from the Corvette like the Stingray-derived original did

•Like the original, the modern GT gains its power from small engines, but

the concept’s turbocharged 1.0L three-cylinder generates 145hp and

pushes that power through a sequential transmission to the rear wheels

•Making a production version will be difficult since General Motors does

not currently have a rear-wheel drive platform that could underpin a

1,000kg (2,200lbs) sports car like this




Hyundai/Kia

2017 Hyundai Ioniq•Obviously targeting the Toyota Prius, the new Hyundai Ioniq is based on a new platform designed exclusively for hybrid and full electric vehicles

•Production has begun and sales will roll out across the globe in 2016 and 2017

•Three versions of the Ioniq will be offered initially

cylinder and six-speed dual clutch transmission

•Adding a charging port in the front fender, the Plug-in version increases

the battery capacity to 8.9kWh and ups motor output to 45kW giving a

50km (31-mile) all-electric range

•The all-electric version includes a 28kWh lithium-ion battery pack good for

a 250km (160-mile) range, with prices in the €38,000 (US$42,000) range




Hyundai/Kia

2017 Kia Optima Sportswagon•Targeting Europe (no plans for American market versions), the new Kia Optima Sportswagon is one of the more attractive wagons to emerge in the last few years

•The sporty lines of the popular Optima sedan transfer very well onto the long-roof wagon edition

•Most trim is similar to the existing sedan model but with much more cargo space•In Europe, a 1.7L turbodiesel can be had with a six-speed manual or

seven-speed dual clutch automatic while the 2.0L turbo gas will be offered

with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic




Koenigsegg

2017 Koenigsegg Regera•Sweden’s hypercar maker Koenigsegg used the Geneva show to introduce its latest road rocket

•The Regera will come to the market with a price tag somewhere in the US$1.9 million range

•Accelerating to 100km/h (62 mph) should only take 2.8 seconds

•Mounted behind driver and passenger is a 5.0L DOHC twin-turbo V8

engine and, with its three electric motors, will generate somewhere north

of 1,500hp, making the hybrid good for a top speed around 250mph

•Plans only include 80 copies being produced




Mahindra & Mahindra

2016 Ssangyong SIV-2 concept•As South Korea’s Ssangyonggrows in sales, so too will its lineup expand

•A prelude to the upcoming small crossover, the SIV-2 concept lets the world know that Ssangyongexpects to be a real player

•Styling is typical crossover concept with its shaved doors and rugged good looks

•Under the hood lies a 1.5L turbocharged direct-injection four-cylinder

mated to a 10kW electric motor

•Interior trim includes wood floors and concept-y music-influenced lighting




Mahindra & Mahindra

2017 Ssangyong Tivoli XLV•Introduced a year ago as the XLV concept at the Frankfurt show, the production model joins the Tivoli lineup

•Starting with the compact Tivoli and its 2.6m wheelbase, the XLV adds more cargo space with a larger aft section

•Offered in two- and four-wheel drive, the Tivoli XLV is powered by a

choice of 1.6L four-cylinder engines: 113hp turbodiesel or 126hp gas

•Six-speed transmissions, manual or automatic, will be available

•Sales in Europe are expected shortly and pricing is said to be slightly

more than the £13,000 (US$18,500) starting price of the base Tivoli




Mitsubishi

2016 Mitsubishi ASX Geoseek•Off-road concept based on the production Mitsubishi ASX (sold in the US as the Outlander Sport)

•Accessorized with a new grille, skid plates, and roof rack, the Geoseek targets outdoorsy types who enjoy biking and camping

•Powered by a 6.0L twin-turbo V12 supplied by Mercedes-AMG, the Huayra BC puts around 800hp through the rear wheels

•At just 1,300 kg (2,960 lbs), the coupe hits 100 km/h (62 mpg) in just 3 seconds

•The transaxle is an Xtrac automated manual unit utilizing seven forward

the rear-wheel drive sports coupe

•Focusing on hand-built quality, the relatively slow (compared to other
