    A close-up of the interior of Audi’s new EV “Q6 e-tron”! Is the protruding screen real?

    “A fierce look at the interior of Audi’s new Q6 e-tron EV! Is the protruding screen real? “”Sunday, May 1, 2022 08:00 AM

    Audi is currently developing a new full-electric crossover SUV, the Q6 e-tron, and for the first time the cameras of the scoop site Spyder7 have captured the interior of the latest prototype.

    The prototype caught cannot be seen with the satin silver grille in its closed state. However, the shape of the corner air intakes can be seen, the two-stage split headlight design, and the wide air intakes under the bumper are clearly visible.

    At the rear, part of the LED taillights are exposed, while slim strip lights are likely to be placed between them.

    The interior is partially hidden by a cover, but a screen protruding from the dashboard can be seen. The e-tron GT and Q4 e-tron have infotainment screens in the dashboard, and while the possibility of differentiation cannot be ruled out, the thick bezel and other features suggest that this is not the final component. Also behind the steering wheel is an evolved digital instrument cluster.

    The Q6 e-tron uses the “”PPE”” architecture. It will be shared with the upcoming Audi A6 e-tron sedan and the new-generation Porsche Macan EV. The body size will be similar to that of the ICE-equipped Q5, but thanks to the smart packaging offered by PPE, the interior is expected to be on the same level as the Q7, which is one class higher.

    The EV specs are expected to be available in single-motor and dual-motor versions, with a total system output of 476 hp. There are also rumors of a more powerful model, the Q6 e-tron RS, which will hit a maximum output of 600ps and a maximum torque of 830Nm.

    The Q6 e-tron is scheduled to be launched in 2023, and will have its world premiere by the end of 2022 as a higher-end model of the Q4 e-tron launched last April and a lower-end model of the “”e-tron”” (possibly renamed to Q8 e-tron).

    The company plans to offer 20 EVs by 2025, and the Q6 e-tron will be one of them.”

    Toyota’s New Prius Seats Improve Driving Performance Just by Sitting on Them

    Toyota’s New Prius Seats Improve Driving Performance Just by Sitting on Them! What is the miracle equipment “”static eliminating stabilizing seat””?

    Improved driving performance just by sitting down! What is the “”static eliminating stabilizing seat””?
     The new “”Prius””, the fifth generation model of the Prius, was completely redesigned for the first time in seven years on November 16, 2022, and the hybrid model went on sale in Japan on January 10, 2023.
    Will these seats improve driving performance…? Interior and exterior of the new “”Prius””

     The new Prius is equipped with “”static eliminating stabilizing seats”” that are said to improve driving performance just by sitting on them.

     What kind of performance does the seat have?

    Does the seat of the new “”Prius”” clean the air flow just by sitting on it?

     The Prius was introduced to the world in 1997 with the catchphrase, “”Just in time for the 21st century.”” the Prius was born in 1997 as the world’s first mass-produced hybrid car. Four generations of Prius have been launched so far, and a total of 5.05 million Prius cars have been sold globally.

     In 2022, 25 years after its birth, the fifth generation of the new Prius will be born. In addition to its strong points of high environmental performance, the new Prius was developed to combine “”a design that makes you fall in love at first sight”” and “”a driving experience that makes you fall in love with it””.

     The body size is 4600 mm (overall length) x 1780 mm (overall width) x 1430 mm (overall height), and the wheelbase is 2750 mm, slightly larger than the previous generation model.

     The exterior, while inheriting the iconic “”monoform silhouette”” of the Prius, has evolved to sportier and more stylish proportions with a lower center of gravity based on the second-generation TNGA platform and the adoption of large 19-inch diameter tires.

     The interior, based on the “”Island Architecture”” concept, is spacious without an oppressive feeling, while providing a cockpit feel that makes it easy to concentrate on driving. The interior space allows intuitive operation and enjoyable driving.

     Three types of powertrains are available: a 1.8-liter engine, a 2.0-liter engine plus hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), or a 2.0-liter engine plus plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Of these, the HEV model went on sale on January 10, 2023.
    The new Prius has undergone such a sporty evolution, and is equipped with an “”anti-static stabilizing seat”” in the driver’s seat.

     This new feature was first introduced in the Corolla series special edition “”50 Million Edition”” launched in November 2021.

     By setting a surface skin with an antistatic function on a part of the seat, static electricity accumulated in and around the driver is dispersed throughout the body to reduce the amount of static charge. As a result, Toyota explains, air turbulence caused by static electricity generated during driving can be suppressed and a smooth flow of air can be achieved, contributing to stable vehicle behavior and more comfortable driving with less fatigue.

     These seats are standard equipment in the higher grades Z and G, and optional in the U, which is a grade exclusive to the “”KINTO”” subscription service.
