Until the arrival of the Kodiaq or Scala, the aesthetic code of the Czech house could be defined as boring or serious. Skoda's positioning in the market has changed over the years and now it could be said that it seeks to be an alternative to its own parent company: Volkswagen. However, the firm's design team has enough potential to create models as interesting as the Skoda Slavia Spider Concept. In this case, the Skoda Slavia Spider is part of the AZUBI project. For those who do not know, six boys and five girls from the Skoda Academy have created this concept based on one of the models manufactured in series by the brand. In fact, the Slavia seeks to merge the firm's past and present using the name of the first bicycles made by Václav Laurin and Václav Klement after they founded the brand in 1985. The Skoda Slavia Spider pays tribute to the history of the firm This prototype, derived from Scala, presents a fresh, modern and striking design, just what we would like to see in the catalog of the Czech firm. Among the elements that stand out we have the rear three-quarter line or rear format. Here stands out the SKODA inscription located on the boot lid that lights up in red or white, depending on the situation. Nor can we ignore other decorative elements. Here we have the tri-layer paint in nacre white that dresses your body. To this must be added the programmable LED lights (blue, red and white) located under the thresholds of the doors or fenders. If we go inside, we have sports seats signed by Sparco with four-point harnesses. Another equipment to highlight is the 320-watt sound system equipped with a 2250-watt sobwoofer. Finally, and as a technological bauble to highlight, we have two electric skates located in the trunk. If we refer to the technique that gives life to the Skoda Slavia Spider, we have elements already known in the Volkswagen Group. Thus, on the MQB-A0 platform we have a 1.5 TSI gasoline block with 150 HP of power managed by a seven-ratio DSG automatic transmission. The absence of a roof, and the inclusion of the necessary reinforcements, has not meant a substantial increase in weight. In fact, Skoda announces that the Slavia Spider stays at a light 1,210 kilos. I wish the German conglomerate would give the Czech brand more freedom to carry out projects of this type. The pity is that the market has its brain sucked by SUVs and very few would be the buyers who would notice it. Too bad.

Research mentions cognitive activity, depression, diabetes, and having high blood pressure There are at least 10 risk factors that appear to have a significant impact on a person's likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease, which could be subject to preventive measures, suggests research published in the 'Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry'. . Focusing on these factors, including cognitive activity, a high end-of-life body mass index, depression, diabetes, and high blood pressure, could provide clinicians with evidence-based guidance for preventing Alzheimer's disease. But much more research is needed to come with other promising approaches to preventing the condition. Experts predict an increase in the number of cases as the po[CENSORED]tion ages, but recent research has suggested that the number of cases appears to be declining, possibly due to lifestyle changes, better education, and risk reduction strategies. to prevent or delay dementia. The existing evidence on the prevention of Alzheimer's disease is difficult to interpret due to the different study designs with different evaluation and credibility criteria. So an international team of researchers led by Professor Jin-Tai Yu at Fudan University in China set out to review and analyze the current evidence to produce evidence-based suggestions for preventing Alzheimer's disease. The researchers pooled 395 studies (243 observational prospective studies and 152 randomized controlled trials) that were suitable for analysis. Based on their analysis, they proposed 21 suggestions based on the available consolidated evidence that clinicians could use in practice to try to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Within these, there were what they called 'Class I' suggestions to focus on 19 different factors. Nearly two-thirds of these suggestions would involve targeting vascular risk factors (such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels) and lifestyle, strengthening the importance of staying healthy to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Ten of the suggestions were supported by strong evidence and included receiving the best education possible in early life, engaging in mentally stimulating activities such as reading, avoiding diabetes, stress, depression, head trauma, and high blood pressure. in middle age. Nine other suggestions had slightly weaker evidence to support them, and included regular physical exercise, sufficient quality sleep, maintaining a healthy body weight and good heart health in adulthood, avoiding smoking, and including vitamin C in the diet. In contrast, two interventions were not recommended: estrogen replacement therapy and the use of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (drugs that increase communication between nerve cells). The authors point out some limitations of the study, such as the fact that observational studies cannot indicate a clear causal relationship and randomized controlled trials cannot generalize beyond the specific sample, intervention, dose, and duration studied. In addition, the values of your suggestions may be limited by geographic variability, definition of exposure, and prevalence of risk factors at the po[CENSORED]tion level. However, the authors say this is the most comprehensive and large-scale systematic review and meta-analysis for Alzheimer's disease to date, and the evidence-based suggestions were brought together by integrating a large body of evidence from different types of existing research. "This study provides an advanced and contemporary analysis of the evidence, suggesting that high-quality prospective observational studies and randomized controlled trials are most urgently needed to strengthen the evidence base to uncover more promising approaches to preventing Alzheimer's disease." they conclude.

In late 2019, in a press briefing, SsangYong warned us that they were working on an electric car, their first 100% electric vehicle. The car in question, still in the testing phase, is called "Project E100". At the moment we have not been able to see it, nor do we have all the information we would like, but the brand has left us some images as a teaser. This first electric car from SsangYong will be an SUV model. In addition, the Asian company has confirmed that it will build on a very successful model, the SsangYong Korando, which has recently been renovated. Its arrival on the market is scheduled for the first half of 2021, so, we believe, it will not take long to be fully disclosed. At the moment, looking at the teaser images that accompany this article, it is clear that it will be an SUV vehicle. SsangYong comments that it will be medium in size, spacious, versatile and with a modern design language. It will belong to the C-SUV segment. We do not know exactly how they will do it, but the firm declares that it will highlight the use of new materials that will result in greater efficiency. We do know that the hood will be entirely made of aluminum and that, as in all electric, the grill will be sealed. They aim to be an urban-style body with light, streamlined lines. Also that the interior is spacious and usable. When the brand informed us of the first steps of this E100 Project, it told us that its approximate dimensions would be 4.40 meters long, 1.86 wide and 1.62 high, in addition to a battle of 2.65 meters. In addition, he told us about the performance forecasts, with a power close to 190 hp, using a 61.5 kWh battery. The idea was to achieve a real autonomy of approximately 330 kilometers. Anyway, this data can dance. As if this were not enough, SsangYong confirmed that in 2024 they will have a specific platform for electric vehicles. From there, it is very likely that we will see a completely new brand, betting strongly on the total or partial electrification of a good part of its products.

How the moderate intake of this alcoholic beverage influences after sports practice Diet, physical exercise and the importance of hydration in sports performance as part of an active lifestyle. These have been the main topics addressed in the conferences "Nutrition, Sport and Lifestyle of the athlete" that are taking place in different universities throughout the Spanish geography. These presentations have been organized by the Beer and Health Information Center (CICS). Sports and nutrition professionals have debated the athlete's diet and lifestyle. In addition, they have also explained the role of moderate beer consumption in recovery after physical activity, or the effects of moderate beer intake in people who undergo high intensity training (HIIT). Nutrition in sport Diet directly influences the performance of the athlete, so people who exercise regularly should have a nutritional strategy. In the words of Dr. Jesús Bernardo, medical specialist in Sports Nutrition and Founder and director of the Nutrition, Food and Metabolism Unit (UNAM), "athletes must synchronize nutrition and training to improve their results, since only through a Proper nutrition ensures the proper functioning of all metabolic functions. " One of the strategies recommended by Dr. Bernardo is to plan the feeding before the competition. The previous days, it is recommended to take carbohydrates that provide the optimal amount of glycogen and increase resistance capacity, while advising to avoid foods rich in protein or fat because they require more energy to digest them and make gastric emptying difficult. For fans who play sports weekly, it has been suggested to eat foods rich in carbohydrates. However, Dr. Bernardo recalls that the importance lies in "ordering food intake and not restricting it, so if carbohydrates are recommended before playing sports to increase endurance, beverages with high water content and low alcohol content like beer have a place after exercise to recover from the effort made. " Post-workout rehydration The specialists agree on the importance of an adequate recovery of the losses that have occurred during the exercise. These include water and mineral salts that can be lost by sweat in significant amounts. In this sense, Prof. Manuel Castillo, professor of Medical Physiology at the University of Granada, underlines the need to "recover these losses due to the replacement effect it has and because it determines the correct regeneration of damaged structures, which improves the performance and prevents injury. " In addition to water, following the conclusions of the study 'Beer suitability in the recovery of the metabolism of athletes', Dr. Castillo explains that "beer, so commonly consumed, could be an option to replace hydro-losses minerals that are produced with sweat and facilitate recovery thanks to the organoleptic characteristics and metabolic substrates that this drink provides, such as antioxidants, B vitamins and amino acids. " Therefore, moderate consumption of beer (between one and two rods a day for women and between two and three for men) could promote rehydration without affecting sports performance. In fact, this specialist has also taken the opportunity to present the main conclusions of his latest study "BEER-HIIT: Beer or Ethanol Effects on the Body Composition Response to High-Intensity Interval Training", the first study in the scientific literature that investigates the influence of consumption beer beer in the psycho-physiological response to a high intensity training program (HIIT). Among the main conclusions of the first study, Dr. Castillo highlighted that "the results obtained show that a 10-week HIIT program does not change weight but significantly improves body composition by decreasing fat mass and increasing lean mass in healthy adults These positive effects are not influenced by the consumption of beer, or its alcohol equivalent, in moderate amounts, and the consumption of beer or its alcohol equivalent during exercise does not affect the distribution of body fat. In addition, the scientific evidence derived from this research shows that the improvement in body composition caused by this form of training, characterized by a decrease in the amount of fat and an increase in the amount of muscle, is not influenced by the regular intake of beer. Nor has it been observed that this intake influences the distribution of fat in the visceral or abdominal area, po[CENSORED]rly known as "beer belly". The Beer Option 0.0 Dr. Castillo stresses the need to be cautious with alcohol consumption, not to exceed what is a moderate amount and if the preference is beer intake "the possibility that this drink gives us to consume it also without alcohol, being this option a type of drink particularly interesting from a nutritional point of view when highly demanding exercises are practiced.

If there is an adjective with which we can explain the Italian design concept, it is beauty. It is rare for a firm with a transalpine passport to present a model that can be considered ugly or that is not very original. One of the best exponents of this philosophy is the Maserati Ghibli, the access saloon of the trident's house. Now, when it has been on the market for seven years, it receives a very special version and a slight aesthetic update. We are referring, as you all know, to the Maserati Ghibli Hybrid. With all of you, here is the first electrified model in the 106-year history of the Italian brand. When we have seen it, we have had mixed feelings, since we all expected that the courage of the FCA Group would be greater. In summary: they have presented a model that serves as a preview for what is to come and that, in essence, continues to be at a high level. The sporty elegance of the Maserati Ghibli Hybrid does not change one iota On an aesthetic level, the Maserati Ghibli Hybrid maintains its essence. The proof is that the Centro Stile Maserati combines like few other sports lines with superb elegance. However, as it is a special version, which hopes to capture a wider audience, it receives a series of touch-ups that improve its imprint. First of all, we have a grill with chrome slats that simulate being small tuning forks. The main light groups receive LED technology and a renewed interior configuration. If we make the jump to the side view, we also see changes. After the previous wheel arch we have three small air intakes that are adorned with blue inserts. This same tone, in reference to the electricity that is present in its mechanics, can be seen in the brake calipers. Finally, we have the logo beam located on the "C" pillar. The last aspect to review in the aesthetics of the Ghibli Hybrid is behind. Those responsible for design have updated their optical groups by modifying their exterior and interior format. Now they include a boomerang-like profile that is by no means casual. According to its creators, it is inspired by the Maserati 3200 GT and the latest Alfieri Concept. All in all, and despite its seniority, the trident saloon is one of the most beautiful on the market. The interior improves in materials, technology and connectivity If the exterior of the Maserati Ghibli Hybrid can be considered as timeless, inside we can consider it as sober. The basic lines of design do not change, but new elements arrive that refresh its imprint, especially at the technological level. Thus, the central touch screen grows in size to reach 10.1 inches and offer more current and easier to read graphics. In addition, it presents more intuitive and attractive menus. Thanks to this monitor, the latest generation Maserati Intelligent Assistant multimedia system comes to life. It is based on digital inputs from Android Automotive, a software that offers an innovative and fully customizable user experience according to the personal preferences of the driver. But in addition, we also have a new instrument cluster with digital devices and new graphics. Nor can we overlook the Maserati Connect program. Thanks to it, the mobile connection is constant, facilitating the exchange of information to improve the services offered to the driver. But it also updates the software by carrying out checks on the car and monitoring the security and emergency services. Finally, mention that the blue hue of the exterior is spread across the seats or rugs. The 48-volt hybridization of the Ghibli seems unambitious to us On a technical level, we expected the technicians and engineers at the Maserati Innovation Laboratory in Modena to be more ambitious. We all expected that the first hybrid of the Italian house was pure or a plug-in hybrid. However, we must settle for a mild hybrid system with a 48-volt secondary power grid. Still, and looking little, we must say that the result promises. The thermal part is entrusted to a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline block. Attached to it we have an alternator and starter motor (BSG) and a small battery that stores the energy recovered in the braking phases. In addition to all this arsenal, the motor equips an electric compressor called e-Booster. Altogether, this system offers a final performance of 330 CV and 450 Nm of maximum torque. According to Maserati, this technical solution is unique in its segment. Thanks to it, they can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 25% compared to the six-cylinder gasoline block and the same to diesel. In addition, the weight of the Ghibli Hybrid is 80 kilos less than diesel, improving driving dynamics. This can be seen in the benefits, with an acceleration of 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 255 kilometers per hour. As a climax to this update, the exhaust system has been optimized. Now it includes resonators specially designed to deliver an intoxicating and sporty sound. When will the Maserati Ghibli Hybrid hit the market? The commercial launch of the Maserati Ghibli Hybrid is scheduled for next September. In any case, the first units will not arrive at dealerships until October. It is for this reason that they have not yet announced the official price list or the final equipment possibilities. What we do know are the future plans of the trident's signature. This model represents the first step in Maserati electrification. It will be assembled at the Avvocato Giovanni Agnelli (AGAP) plant located in Grugliasco (Turin), but it will not be the only one. Next year the arrival of the fully electric GranTurismo and GranCabrio is planned and after them the rest of the models that make up the brand's range. We will be very attentive to the news that may come.

Responsible waste management, whatever its type, is difficult but entirely possible. The first thing is to become aware of how important it is to do our part to transform the planet into a cleaner and more sustainable one. It is always difficult to change our habits, but the first step is to become aware of them. In recent years, a movement known as Zero Waste has begun to emerge, whose objective is to change lifestyle and harmful habits to reduce most of the waste generated on a daily basis. The creator of this movement is the French Bea Johnson, who since 2008, together with her family of 4 members, has dedicated herself to adopting a zero waste lifestyle. Currently, the waste generated each year by the whole family fits in a single glass jar, while a normal person can produce up to 500 kg of waste. All this has been achieved by not generating garbage. This way of life is summarized in five principles: 1. Reject: everything that is not needed such as plastic bottles, paper tissues, straws ... 2. Reduce: Do you really need everything you think you need? 3. Reuse: everything that may have a second life. Buying or inheriting second-hand clothing and furniture is a good option! 4. Recycle: separate the waste in plastic, paper, glass ... And make it possible for these materials to be used again. 5. Reincorporate: imitate the cycle of nature using organic waste to compost or to feed pets (whenever possible). The ozone layer is recovering by 1-3% per decade. With certain measures and following action frameworks such as that of the Montreal Protocol, ozone is expected to fully recover in the northern hemisphere and mid-latitude areas in the 2030s, while for the southern hemisphere the recovery will come in 2050 and in the polar regions by 2060. Ozone protects life by absorbing ultraviolet radiation, which can cause many diseases and natural disasters. But this recovery is only possible if we get to work on it. This great news reminds that not all is lost if this momentum is maintained and a more environmentally friendly society continues to be created. That is why such innovative initiatives as Zero Waste arise, to raise awareness among all of us and thus achieve real results and that they be fulfilled.

The situation caused by the Coronavirus has forced society to squeeze the mind to go on vacation. Until a few years ago, traveling by motorhome or camper was not something that was well regarded by everyone, but this concept has changed over time. Above all, in situations of health crisis where social distance is needed and common tourist accommodation is operating at half its capacity. It is for this reason that the FCA Group has promoted the renewal of the Fiat Ducato Camper MY2020. The best-selling motorhome in Europe seeks to reaffirm its position in the market by receiving the changes that the conventional versions. In addition, the Italian-American group has created an advertising campaign that enhances its qualities. If you are considering a different vacation, perhaps this alternative is for you and you didn't even know it. The Fiat Ducato Camper MY2020 aspires to maintain its leadership On an aesthetic level, the Fiat Ducato Camper MY2020 features a redesigned front grille. It is wider and simpler than the previous one, and it is also flanked by optical groups with a new interior layout. To accommodate the space intended for the passenger compartment, its chassis is ladder. This option is more resistant and rigid but also has reinforcements in sensitive elements such as suspensions, steering or brake system. The mechanical part is covered by a 2.3-liter MultiJet 2 Euro 6d-TEMP diesel block. It offers four power levels: 120, 140, 160 and 180 CV with different characteristics from each other. In this way, the design of the turbocharger, pistons or fluid dynamics varies from one version to another. What is common to all is the associated transmission, which is automatic cut by torque converter "9Speed" and has nine speeds. If we go inside, the configuration possibilities remain as before: they are endless. Fiat Professional defines the Ducato Camper as a true "Leader in Freedom" and among the examples it gives are special swivel seats for driver and passenger or solutions for storage and distribution of space. There will also be no lack of different types of bed as well as kitchenware or an equipped bathroom. To finish we will tell you what the "Starred Holidays" campaign consists of. Fiat Professional wants the public to know how exceptional a vacation in a Ducato Camper can be. For this reason, it will exalt actions such as dining under the starlight or enjoying the sea in a "bar" that will never close. With these arguments, who will refuse such a vacation. It only remains to know its price, but it will depend on each one ...

After fifteen years of absence, the eighth generation of the Toyota Camry arrived in Europe in 2018. Its impact on the Old Continent will be minimal, but we should not ignore its good performance in other regions of the world. The United States, Mexico and Canada are its main bastions and for proof we have its level of sales. In all the years it has been on the market, the Japanese firm has manufactured almost 20 million units. Be that as it may, the commercial cycle of the current Toyota Camry is approaching its equator and, of course, it needs to be updated. For this reason, those responsible for the model have set to work to introduce those novelties that improve its performance. Don't expect a great revolution, because its image still looks modern and fresh, but in terms of security and connectivity there is a great leap forward. If you like it, don't miss it ... Toyota Camry image gains elegance and class As expected, the evolution of the Toyota Camry will come first to the US. For this market, the changes undergone by the body are subtle but noticeable. Thus, on the front we have a redesigned grille flanked by optical groups that modernize its image based on LED technology. The bumper also changes, modifying the size and format of the lower air intake depending on the version chosen. The side view remains as is, modifying only the design of the alloy wheels that can be 19 inches. Lastly, we need to take a look behind. The most noticeable change affects the format of the bumper, which adds a new chrome finish diffuser in the lower area. Finally, and always depending on the version, the Hybrid logo that identifies the most ecological versions appears on the gate. Inside comes the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ system and more technology If on the outside the changes are not appreciated, on the inside the thing changes a lot and for good. The basic design lines are maintained, except in the upper central area of the dashboard. It is there that Toyota engineers have deployed the two new touchscreens to govern the infotainment system. They are floating style and can be 7 or 9 inches depending on the chosen finish. The instrument cluster is also digitized, with displays that can range from 7 to 10 inches. But the big evolution comes with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ safety system. Now, it includes elements such as a better quality camera and radar on the front that optimizes operation in low visibility situations. Added to this is the update of the adaptive cruise control and even lane change assistance. When you arrive in Europe we will know your mechanical offer On a mechanical level, the Toyota Camry for the United States remains faithful to its philosophy. There are several types of mechanical, all gasoline, with displacements ranging from 2.5 liters to 3.5 liters V6. The access version delivers a performance of 151 kW (150 hp) and the most powerful delivers 224 kW (305 hp). However, the most logical and rational option is still the efficient hybrid with 218 CV that we know in Europe and also uses the RAV4.

Carabassí beach is declared smoke-free this summer. Elche is going to join the network of smokeless beaches in the Valencian Community with the aim of eliminating tobacco consumption in this virgin coastal area of the municipality. The measure has been approved today by the government board and for the time being it will be informative and non-sanctioning to promote healthy living habits and respect for the environment, according to the mayor of the Environment, Esther Díez. The local executive has also pointed out together that the idea in the future is to develop an ordinance with which to regulate in more detail the consumption of this substance on the beaches. To this end, the City Council is going to put signs with the initiative and they have already launched an information campaign to sensitize citizens about the importance of respecting this declaration. The local executive has in mind that tobacco consumption is reduced on the rest of the coastline to improve habits and that the beaches are not filled with cigarette butts. "Likewise, we take advantage of this measure to highlight the ecological value of Carabassí beach, which constitutes the transition zone between the marine ecosystem and the terrestrial ecosystem of Clot de Galvany, in which the dune system is particularly relevant," says the mayor. . The Councilor for Tourism, Carles Molina, also underlines this argument and points out that the benefits will mainly be for people's health and the protection of this unique environment.

Regarding the purposes of a person or company, the saying goes as follows: "Hell is paved with good intentions." For those who still do not know what it means, it comes to say that good ends are useless if they are not achieved with concrete facts. Well, this is the situation that Fisker Inc., the manufacturer of electric vehicles that has been teaching the Ocean EV SUV, its first creature, has been living for. Over the past few months he has shown various prototypes and released several teasers. In each action it announced a different date of entry into production, although all very close to each other. However, for no one was a secret that without money could not go into production and in the end the cake has been discovered. Fisker Inc. will make the jump to the New York Stock Exchange to raise funds with which to run its factory. The Fisker Ocean would go into production in 2022 or 2023 This news has been made public through an official press release issued by Fisker herself. Only by reading it can we understand the maneuver they have carried out with an investment fund of "dubious" reputation. Basically, the carmaker has partnered with Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp., a partner company, in turn, to the investment fund Apollo Global Management. In short, Fisker has substantially increased the value of his company by speculating on the stock price. In this way, it is close to a value of three billion dollars, more than enough figure to start its productive activity. After signing the agreement, the president and CEO of the firm, Henrik Fisker, stated the following ... “The realization of the world's first digital car company took a great step forward, advancing our mission to market the world's most emotional and emotional products. sustainable vehicles, while maintaining our vision of a clean future for all. We are excited to partner with Apollo, a world-class financial institution that brings deep industry experience, broad global relationships, and a shared commitment to ESG. This investor vote of confidence, coupled with our exciting progress in developing our first vehicle, sets Fisker's path to 2022 and beyond. […] Fisker Ocean SUV drivers will also benefit from our unique flexible leasing program that maximizes affordability and offers unmatched ownership flexibility. Implemented through our proprietary app, our leasing model has been designed to appeal to clients seeking the latest in sustainable mobility and freedom from traditional and restrictive leasing programs »

The new Nissan Ariya is the result of combining a long period of development and several billion euros invested in technology. A priori it may seem somewhat obvious, but the first one hundred percent electric SUV of the Japanese firm will be a before and after in the automotive sector. And no, we do not say it for its risky aesthetics and its location halfway between the Qashqai and the X-Trail, but for the technique that gives it life. With this launch, Nissan is once again at the forefront of a segment that already revolutionized in 2007 with the first Qashqai. Now, he seeks, longs for and needs to reissue that success to cement the growth of a firm that is not going through its best moment. And we do not know when we can touch it and test it, but with the data in hand we can say that, almost certainly, we have before us a world best seller. The aesthetics of the Nissan Ariya is revolutionary and very successful "For tastes the colors": this is the maximum to which Nissan has clung to develop the Ariya. It is useless to offer a high technological level if you sell it with a packaging without personality. Therefore, and even at the risk of polarizing the market, they have created an avant-garde product that is full of details. The first: the renewed brand logo, which presides over the front and can be illuminated with 20 LEDs. The front area indicates that Nissan's aesthetic code has evolved. We see it in elements such as the large fairing grill and the torn optical groups. These have LED technology, such as those dedicated to the innovative daytime signature. If we go to the side view, we see fluid lines that shape a muscular and coupe-like body. This is particularly evident in the shape and finish of the "C" pillar. Although the Nissan Ariya is not provided with great off-road capabilities, the black plastic protections are the predominant note throughout the lower perimeter of the body. This same shade is used for the roof or the rear-view mirrors, emphasizing the sportiness of the whole. A 19 or 20-inch alloy wheel with aerodynamic design or the two shark fin antennas also contribute to this. Finally we take a look at his behind. In this area, the design team has used marked lines to give personality to the light and gate groups. The former are united in the center and include the word "NISSAN". The lower area of the hood accommodates the logos of the model and the type of version in question. Finally, we have a bumper of simple design that lacks an exhaust outlet and integrates a discreet diffuser. Avant-garde interior, quality and high technological level After examining the exterior of the Nissan Ariya we entered its interior. The air you breathe is futuristic, standing out for the minimalist format of the dashboard. This configuration that, a priori, could go against you, feels really good, but not the absence of physical controls. Instead, we have two large 12.3-inch displays, one for the instrument cluster and one for the vehicle's infotainment and management system. Nor can we ignore the new steering wheel with only two spokes or the absence of a central tunnel under the dashboard. This area could be occupied by the large central glove box, but its managers have decided to keep this physical space open. Regarding the materials and adjustments, in the absence of seeing and touching it in person, we can say that it is at a high level, offering successful color combinations and well-measured adjustments. Regarding habitability we can say that it will be average. Its bodywork reaches 4.59 meters in length, 1.85 meters in width and 1.66 meters in height. But the key is in the wheelbase, which is 2.77 meters. All this will also affect a trunk that, depending on the version, will have one or another capacity. Thus, in the 2WD versions it will be 468 liters and in the 4WD all-wheel drive it is reduced to 415 liters. The Nissan Ariya offers a complete mechanical offer and great autonomy If on an aesthetic level the Nissan Ariya surprises, on a technical level it will leave its rivals very badly on its feet. The 100 percent electric powertrain from the Japanese firm has evolved a lot since the first Leaf hit the market. Now you can offer two- or four-wheel drive solutions and many other battery combinations. In this case, the all-wheel drive system they have created is called the e-4ORCE. The 2WD access version combines a 160 kW (218 hp) electric motor and 300 Nm of maximum torque powered by a 63 kWh capacity battery. This version may also include a larger capacity motor and battery, with 178 kW (242 hp) and 87 kWh respectively. The level of autonomy varies between one and the other, with up to 360 kilometers in the first case and up to 500 kilometers in the second. In order not to mess with the technical details, we leave you an explanatory table that will be of great help. Finally, we must talk about the possibilities of recharging and driving modes and equipment. The 63 kWh Ariya equip a 7.4 kW charger and those using the 87 kWh battery use a three phase charger up to 22 kW. Of course, all versions can be charged with direct current to a maximum of 130 kW. To manage the battery charge, the Nissan Ariya has three driving modes for the 2WD version and a fourth for the 4WD. They are called Standard, Sport and ECO plus Snow and adapt parameters such as throttle, suspension and energy management. To finish, on a safety level it will include the latest evolution of the ProPILOT system, the single pedal driving function and the NissanConnect application.

The pandemic has turned the relationship of brands with their customers upside down. These have been forced to innovate to adapt to concerns and new forms of consumption, as well as to legal requirements in the field of public health. A phenomenon to which the luxury industry is no stranger, where consumers are more demanding and companies must offer greater added value. In the post-Covid-19 scenario, this additional attraction of the high range goes through offering sanitary guarantees. This is the belief of the founder of LuxStyle Consulting, Juan Borges, who defends that "security will be the new luxury, just as technology was a few years ago". A maximum that is accentuated by the demographic variable continues, since traditional luxury clients are between 45 and 65 years of age, with a more established economic position, and it is this age group that has been the most successful. plagued by the disease, and consequently, those who are most afraid and insecure when resuming activities. Borges, who predicts that hotels, restaurants and tourism will be the most affected industries, reasons that, for businesses to prosper, it will be necessary to invest in security measures, but without letting fear dominate decision-making. "You have to pay attention to profit margins," recalls the expert, who insists on keeping in mind that the current situation is temporary. Therefore, it is advisable to inform yourself in depth before implementing the protocols and to reflect carefully on which investments are more efficient so as not to spend more than necessary. A challenge in which communication and transparency are essential. Les Roches Marbella Executive Director, Carlos Díez de la Lastra, explains that clients in the world of luxury are more demanding with the information they are given. “For them it is not enough to include the information on the website. The measures may even be the same as those of a more massive establishment, but they value the feeling that the staff has dedicated time and attention to individually explaining the protocols, ”he justifies. The head of the hotel management university ensures that complying with safety distances is not a concern in the premium segment, since most establishments are spacious and already complied with this measure before confinement. On the contrary, Díez de la Lastra does forecast a greater demand for private services, even in clients with a more moderate purchasing power. Along these lines, the director of Vip Today, Albert Simó, foresees a boom in private transport and, specifically, jets. "Many will bet on private aviation, so they can also offer more competitive rates and approach other audiences: segments with a high purchasing power, but somewhat more aspirational," develops the entrepreneur. The challenge is, says Simó, in finding formulas that guarantee security, but without isolating customers. “There has already been enough isolation, the consumer of luxury does not want to be completely secluded, but rather seeks to relate to people of the same economic and social rank. A person who travels does not want to be isolated again, "says the expert. For this, one solution is to have private spaces and others for highly controlled interaction. "Luxury is innovation. Compliance with regulations is taken for granted, what matters is who is able to offer better added value under security criteria, ”he adds. An idea with which the president of the Spanish Luxury Association, Cristina Martín, agrees, who believes that this tragic stage is going to intensify even more than before the value of the experience above the material. “People are going to seek to enjoy the moment, especially if this is expected to happen again in the future; what can generate a new tourism model based on offering parallel experiences ”, he points out. In this sense, the expert defends that trends such as slow travel, rural tourism or the rental of villas can be accelerated instead of suites to share with friends in a more intimate setting.

Last February we told you that Nissan was going to strengthen its position in the Indian market. The best way to do this was to create a new all-road, which is also the most demanded segment in this country. So his team of engineers got down to work to shape a Mini Kicks. So, they announced their work with an unrevealing teaser, but now they go one step further and reveal more elements of their design. But it is not the only detail that we know of this new model, we also have its name and official presentation date. The first of the data is not official, but it helps to create a portrait of what is to come. Thus, everything indicates that this new commercial launch will be called Nissan Magnite. Regarding his debut, take note, because if everything goes according to plan, there will be hours before the scheduled event takes place. Nissan Magnite to debut for India on July 16 According to the official press release, the Nissan Magnite will debut next Thursday, July 16. The uncovering will take place at the brand's global headquarters, although as we have said it is intended for India. According to Nissan, it falls within the compact segment, although we all know that it will have an exterior length of only 4 meters. The reason for choosing this dimension is simple: to reduce the tax burden that buyers have to face. As for its aesthetics, just take a look at the teasers to know which models the design team was inspired by. That is, the new X-Trail, Juke, Qashqai and Kicks serve as the basis for creating a new and risky product. It stands out above all for some very torn optical groups that, optionally, will include LED technology. It will also include the latest technology in terms of mechanics encompassed under the Nissan Intelligent Mobility umbrella. Finally, mention that the Nissan Magnite will have its replica in Renault. The diamond house is finalizing the development of the Kiger, which appears to be the successor to the Stepway. We will have to wait for its official presentation to take place, because the bad tongues suggest that we will see the Magnite in South America and other regions of the globe. It is difficult, if not impossible, for Europe to get to it, since launching such a model would not make much sense. Although who knows ...

Many times, when we talk about a specific model, we refer to the platform on which it is developed. This element is vital, because thanks to it you will be able to include the latest technological and mechanical options. Furthermore, manufacturers are often criticized for "recycling" a base for use in a model for which "in theory" it is not intended. The last example is the PSA Group and the use of the CMP base. This platform is designed for urban models, but with certain adjustments it can be scaled up to segment C. The proof is that the new Citroën C4 is developed on this basis and, in the absence of testing, it does not appear to be a bad product. Well, now we are going to go to the most extreme (worth the redundancy) of the sector: Morgan. Yes, this brand has been using the same chassis for its cars for more than eight decades. Morgan has developed a modular chassis called CX-Generation Due to its own idiosyncrasy, Morgan has worked for years with a premise: to offer low-weight models and excessive technical simplicity. The only way to combine so many conditions was using a very simple steel chassis that, in addition, has helped them to manufacture their models by hand. However, the evolution of the sector has forced them to adapt and for this they have had to develop a new base. We introduced it to you here a few months ago and it takes the name CX-Generation. It is completely new and uses much more modern and sophisticated materials. In addition, it will allow the inclusion of more current and better performance mechanics. Everything, to offer a final weight on the scale of only 97 kilos. In addition, with the know-how they have under their belt, they will know how to update it so that it lasts a couple of decades at the very least. However, in order for Morgan to start production of the models on the CX-Generation platform, he has to say goodbye to the previous one. This is what he has celebrated these days. Yes, we say celebrated, because the last Plus Four 70th Edition has left the factory located on Pickersleigh Road. The reason is simple, it is the 20th unit of the version with which they have celebrated the seven decades of life of an iconic model. We are confident that Morgan's career will continue to be strong and stable as before. In addition, it will be an oasis of exclusivity and sportsmanship in a sector that tends to become more homogeneous with each passing day.
