Alfa Romeo’s new Milano SUV will be revealed on 10 April in Milan, but before then we’ve spotted it testing on the public road for the first time, revealing a few key design details. The Milano is scheduled to arrive in UK dealerships in September and will be available as a fully-electric car - Alfa Romeo’s first full-EV.
If you thought the Citroen Ami wasn’t cutesy enough, check out the new Microlino - which gained a ‘Lite’ variant during the Geneva Motor Show. Micro (the firm behind the Microlino) confirmed both of its vehicles will be made available in the UK, although details surrounding dealer locations are still to be decided.
Already previewed by the Renault 4EVER Trophy concept, the jacked-up Renault 4 model will use the same underpinnings as the newly launched Renault 5: the AmpR Small platform. And most versions of the 4 are expected to have just a single front-mounted motor. But while the supermini seems destined to remain front-wheel drive, the architecture beneath it features a multi-link rear axle that will allow space for an additional electric drive unit – and Renault sources have hinted to Auto Express that the 4, which will be positioned above the 5 on price, will make use of this.
The newly reborn Renault 5 will be evolved on an annual model-year basis and could retain its basic form for a decade or more, instead of a conventional three-year facelift and seven-year life cycle, company bosses have revealed.
As is tradition, McLaren has taken a hacksaw to the roof of its latest production model, lopping off the lid to create the all-new Artura Spider. The maker claims performance is “almost indistinguishable” compared with the coupé, thanks in part to a 19bhp power boost that will soon be made available free of charge to existing McLaren Artura customers.
The launch of the all-new MG Cyberster electric sports car is edging ever closer, with the brand choosing the 2024 Geneva Motor Show to reveal a few key statistics. While hardly groundbreaking, we now have some headline figures to whet our appetite ahead of the drop-top’s showroom debut later this year.
IM Motors has announced it will enter the UK market and its first car on sale here will be the L6 saloon. Making its global debut at the Geneva Motor Show, the IM L6 is aimed at the premium end of the electric executive saloon sector and will come with market-leading EV performance, according to the brand.
Concept cars tend to be pretty far-out machines, designed to spark imaginations rather than deliver on the finer points of road-worthiness. Even by those standards, though, the new Pininfarina Enigma GT unveiled at the 2024 Geneva Motor Show goes all out with its styling, screens and sustainable power sources.
