2017 Geneva auto showcase: green car preview
2017 Geneva auto display: green car preview
Teaser for Techrules GT96 debuting at two thousand seventeen Geneva auto demonstrate
The two thousand seventeen Geneva Motor Demonstrate marks the next stop on the annual auto-show circuit.
With press days beginning March 7, we aren’t expecting an tremendous number of green cars at the Swiss showcase this year.
A smattering of production and concept cars with some green elements will debut there, tho’.
They run the gamut from the 1.0-liter 3-cylinder Ford Fiesta to the Four.0-liter V-8 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid plug-in hybrid.
This year’s demonstrate will also feature fairly a few concepts and prototypes from Asian startups, albeit it is unclear if any will make it to production.
For continual updates, head over to our Geneva display news page.
2018 Ford Fiesta (European spec)
The next-generation Ford Fiesta subcompact was actually unveiled in December, but it will make its auto-show debut in Geneva.
The 1.0-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder EcoBoost engine from the current Fiesta will remain, with the addition of cylinder deactivation to boost efficiency further.
That feature will also be used on the Fiesta ST spectacle model, which also downsizes to 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder from a 1.6-liter turbo 4-cylinder.
Other switches include updated exterior styling, and a reconfigured dashboard with a large central touchscreen.
Ford is also launching four trim lines—Titanium, ST Line, Vignale, and Active—each with model-specific styling features.
The two thousand eighteen Fiesta will likely go on sale in Europe later this year, but Ford has not said whether it will be brought to the U.S. to substitute the current-generation model.
Teaser for Hybrid Kinetic H600 debuting at two thousand seventeen Geneva auto showcase
Hybrid Kinetic H600 concept
Chinese startup Hybrid Kinetic made news back in 2010, when it announced plans to open a factory in Montgomery, Alabama, that would produce hybrid cars.
The company seemed to vanish after that, but will reemerge at Geneva with a fresh concept car designed by famed Italian styling house Pininfarina.
It’s a luxury sedan called the H600, and it will actually be displayed on Pininfarina’s stand at the showcase, rather than one dedicated to Hybrid Kinetic.
We have no details about the H600’s hybrid powertrain at this time, just a handful of teaser photos hinting at the exterior and interior design.
2018 Lexus LS 500h
The LS 500h is a hybrid version of the redesigned Lexus LS flagship luxury sedan, which debuted in January at the two thousand seventeen Detroit Auto Demonstrate.
It substitutes the LS 600hL hybrid variant of the outgoing-generation LS, which only sold in low numbers in North America.
The LS 500h will use a “Multi Stage Hybrid System” based on the powertrain of the LC 500h coupe.
That setup combines a traditional hybrid powertrain—in this case based around a Trio.5-liter V-6—with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
This somewhat elaborate arrangement is meant to provide a sportier feel, and mimic the behavior of the 10-speed automatic transmissions suggested in non-hybrid versions of the LS and LC.
With the non-hybrid LS five hundred variant not expected to go on sale until later in the year, the LS 500h may not launch until sometime next year.
