The Japanese firm Suzuki, seems to be preparing to base its latest model presented, the Kizashi, a hybrid variant, one that surely will see in Detroit next year (there is speculation he will also be in Frankfurt, but not known). It will be developed jointly with General Motors. The new model will have a much lower consumption, there is talk of 20%, when using the battery pack of lithium-ion high capacity. This will be alongside a 1.5-liter gasoline engine. The gearbox may be 6-speed manual or a continuously variable, CVT. For now all he said the signing of its upcoming release is this: "we can only confirm that neither confirm nor deny" a word they say nothing. Good news

A few weeks ago I commented in EspacioCoches, the arrival of large numbers of Chinese models to the market, in which between them are Nanjing, JAC, Jiangling, BYD and marcsika. In the case of the latter two, the firms submit their two models, hybrid and electric. The F3DM BYD will be powered by a 1.3-liter engine, and engine power, which together achieve a maximum speed of 150 km / h. Expected to have a price of around 160,000 RMB.
