Suzuki just unveiled the ninth-generation Alto Kei for the Japanese market. This is not to be confused with the Maruti Suzuki Alto, which is available in India, as the two automobiles have nothing in common save their names. The appearance of the Suzuki Alto has been completely redesigned. A 660cc mild-hybrid petrol engine is included. Active driver’s assistance is available.

While the new Alto retains the boxy shape and proportions of the eighth-generation Alto Kei (first released in 2014), it is now softer and more rounded. On the inside, a new dashboard with its layered design and use of color looks very unusual. In terms of appearance and arrangement, the AC vents are identical to those on the previous model. There is, however, a new steering wheel, instrument cluster, and touchscreen infotainment system that is beautifully incorporated. See Also: Toyota...
Mercedes-Benz has reached an agreement to accelerate the development of solid-state batteries. Mercedes-Benz announced the new relationship with Factorial Energy to accelerate the development of solid-state battery technology. The German automaker will collaborate with a solid-state battery company based in the United States to create the long-awaited next-generation battery technology. Next year, the two businesses plan to begin testing prototype cells.

Mercedes has made a strategic investment in Factorial and will appoint a director to the board of directors. Markus Schäfer, the CEO of Mercedes-Benz Cars, stated that the investment is in the “high double-digit million dollar range,” but provided no further details. Factorial, one of the top developers of solid-state battery technology, recently received funding from Stellantis as part of a collaborative venture to develop solid-state batteries. Solid-state batteries are one of the most promising – and much awaited – battery technologies currently being developed. It uses a solid-state electrolyte rather of the liquid electrolytes that are most commonly utilized. As a result, the units have a far higher energy density, which translates to a longer range and faster charging periods. Mercedes-Benz is developing solid-state batteries as one of a number of battery technologies that it may adopt in the future, including organic batteries in the long run. See Also: 2022...

Puddle lights are lamps that are fitted into the lower half of a vehicle’s outside mirrors and illuminate the ground beneath the front door. When the driver approaches the vehicle and unlocks it using a remote key fob, they’re normally triggered. See Also: What’s The Difference Between A Sunroof And A Moonroof? When the doors are open, at least some vehicles have similar lights integrated into the lower margins of the front (and sometimes rear) doors, so the same area is lit. This is especially handy while getting out of the car, because the open door would otherwise obstruct the light coming from behind the mirror, preventing this region from being lighted. While the initial purpose of puddle lights was to illuminate the ground where a person would walk right before getting into (or out of) the car to warn them of puddles, ice, or rough pavement, they have now evolved to serve another reason: fashion. Puddle lights had been there for at least a decade when a few manufacturers decided to change the lenses to include the vehicle’s name, logo, or other graphic for 2015. This was done by Land Rover, for example. Buick, Lincoln, and Mini, to mention a few, all did. This provided a fashionable, premium touch that rapidly became a status symbol – primarily because it looks really cool. Puddle lights are now standard on many automobiles, and they’re also available as aftermarket add-on extras. See Also: Davido Buys...
The Munich-based automaker, BMW, over the weekend, gave the first examples of the completely electric BMW i4 to new owners three months ahead of schedule. The battery-electric Gran Coupe began production just a month ago, with the first examples rolling out of a factory that now produces the BMW 3-Series sedan and Touring versions, the BMW M3, and the BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe, and is approaching its 100th anniversary.
