As for new cars "realistic", that is to say the closer to commercialization, we will report the Seat Leon ST , wagon version of the Golf Estate modeled on the sedan, the luxurious Audi A8 facelift , the new A3 convertible, BMX X5 and Hyundai i10 , a model based on the Honda Civic or the next generation, very promising to break the Mazda 3 .

Concepts , relatively far from the exit concession, were also present in large numbers. The Audi Nanuk , a diesel-electric hybrid 544 horses, and the Jaguar C-X17 , the first SUV from the British manufacturer, are good examples.But the one that is most likely to talk about it, it is the Toyota Yaris Hybrid R .

Brace yourself, this is a hybrid sports city with a gas block 300 horsepower coupled to two electric motors of 60 horsepower or ... a combined output of 420 horsepower ! When Toyota made ​​a sport, it is not kidding.

Ford Fiesta EcoBoost hosts a robotized gearbox

Launched last year on the Fiesta , the engine EcoBoost is a block downsized (only three cylinders) with the power of a gasoline consumption and reduced emissions of a diesel. The carmaker Ford has to associate his box Powershift automated .

Thanks to its dual clutch , it is smoother and more sober than a conventional automatic transmission. When combined with EcoBoost technology, the idea is to develop a competitive carbon footprint while maintaining comfort. Its price is not yet set but it will be at least equal to the current representative Powershift range (Fiesta 1.6 Duratec 105hp): EUR 16 250 in Trend finish and 17,850 euros in Titanium finish .

We can then ask whether the game is worth the candle. Without Powershift but still EcoBoost (elected Engine of the Year in 2012), we find the Fiesta cheap on Compare Kidioui - about 12,900 euros in Trend and 14 200 euros Titanium.The economy is important, especially as the fuel consumption and emissions , manual forces remain lower (99 g / km CO ₂ ).
