Right Now Honda counts on two semihybrids in its range, the Insight and the Civic Hybrid. The second has received a small update, essentially an aesthetic since there is no change in the hybrid system. It is commercialized in two versions, Civic Hybrid and Civic Hybrid Navi Skin.

The prices are from 24,900 and 28,800 Euros, respectively. The main price is superior than the previous version. Even so, it continues being a little cheaper than the Toyota Prius II, that is ending its commercial life.

Externally these versions are different, and we are talking about the bumper, the rims, the grill, vision groups and anti-fog lights. On the inside it is only different the upholstery of the seats and the handle from the intermittent ones, that now the freeway function has (signaling of change of track with a touch). The rest remains inalterable.

When we compared Civic Hybrid against the Toyota Prius, we concluded that, although Civic Hybrid is cheaper, its consumption of gas is superior, that´s a weak side. When the new Toyota Prius arrives in market, the first one (Civis Hybrid) woul be disadvantaged, due to the Toyota will surpass in consumption about 0.6 to him l/100 km and the price will be so similar.

Piaggio show us this new update of the Scooter Carnaby, calling it Carnaby Cruiser 300 IE. that now it mounts already the well-known motor Quasar from Piaggio in its version 300. The first thing that calls attention is the new design of the instrument board, now, but of the style “handlebars and clocks” that completely careened of the previous edition.

Just as the frontal, that incorporates a divided grid that is displaced the light again to the handlebars. Light that includes “cerquillo” chromed that gives a classic line him but to the previous motorcycle against but the modern one. Visually the motorcycle seems much more retro that previous Carnaby 250.

In the mechanical part it is where we found the following newness, including now the motor Piaggio Quasar 300 that already we have seen in Super Vespa GTS 300. The piston displacement follows in 278 cc and 22.5 are credited 7250 CB to rpm with 23 a motor pair of 6000 Nm to rpm.

Just a little bit but and better given than the previous motor of 250 cc. The fuel tank is able to take 9.5 liters of which 2 are the reserve, and so the awaited autonomy is in 330 km almost 3.5 liters to 100 km, although in the official specifications they say that the motorcycle makes 2.7 liters to 100 60 km to Km/h.

Mazda CX-7 is the unique SUV of Mazda, and now undergoes small restyle two years after its launching. They change some elements of its outside, materials and equipment in its interior and a new diesel engine.

In the outside of this car appear some changes that, according to Mazda, heighten the premium image style. In the frontal we found one ampler grill with chromium platings in the finished superiors, that serve in addition to improve the refrigeration.

In the back part of Mazda CX-7 the optical have been replaced by very similar ones to those of the previous model , characterized by white crystals, but with a slightly different design.

The Mazda CX-7 ccounts also with rims of 18 inches again design, that are of 19 inches in the finished Luxury.

The new motor that is added to range is 2,2 diesel engine, that has a power of 173 CB, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11,3 second and reaches 200 a terminal velocity of km/h. Most powerful of the range of 2,3 Mazda CX-7 gasoline is the turbo that CB has a power of 260.

In the interior we found a new steering wheel with integrated controls and a new picture with blue illumination, white needles and spheres with three-dimensional effect.

As same as the Mazda3 and Mazda6, Mazda CX-7 incorporates a screen now denominated multifunction MID, in which consumption information can be seen, maintenance, camera of back vision, navigating, etc.

The screen multifunction can be of 4.1 inches in monochrome color or of 3.5 inches. In another independent screen we found the information of the sound equipment, of air-conditioner, and underneath this one indicator of undone belts and anulador of airbag.
