The crossover segment is still growing, and over the past three years, premium and luxury brands have either already acquired this type of car (for example, Bentley brought the Bentayga to the market, and Maserati brought the Levante), or announced developments in this area, as did Rolls- Royce with his Cullinan project. The Italian brand Alfa Romeo also created its own crossover, and the most powerful version of the Stelvio Quadrifoglio was shown at the auto show. The design of the Stelvio is largely borrowed from Alfa RomeoThe Giulia, however, has an aggressive bumper and wide wheel arches. The standard versions will be equipped with a 2-liter 280 hp engine, while the Quadrifoglio will be equipped with a 2.9-liter engine with 505 horsepower. The interior is finished with wood and leather, as well as carbon fiber inserts. The start of sales is scheduled for the end of 2017. Stelvio is considered as a competitor to the BMW X3, and the cost of the model, according to the publication Autoexpress, will be about £ 35 thousand, which is equivalent to € 40 thousand.

The British brand declassified its electric novelty and potential competitor to the American Tesla Model X just on the eve of the Los Angeles Auto Show - however, touching the I-Pace with your hands and sitting in its cabin will not become less interesting. While this is a concept, Jaguar is going to release a production version of the I-Pace by 2018. One of the main features of the car exterior is the forward-shifted cabin. “In the case of the I-Pace, we are reimagining the proportions of the car, but not changing the design language,” says Jaguar Design DirectorIan Callum. - It was the electric motor that allowed us to create such forms. From the very beginning of this project, I aimed to create a design that reflects changes in the mechanics of the car. This was the starting point for moving the cab forward instead of the traditional “hood and engine underneath” layout. As a result, the interior of the car is very spacious, in addition, there is a rear and front rack. On the dashboard, the touch-sensitive buttons are adjacent to a wooden plaque that says “Lovingly crafted by Jaguar. Est. Coventry 1935 "(" Jaguar. Made with love in Coventry, since 1935 "). As for the driving characteristics, the I-Pace is equipped with two electric motors, the stock of which is enough for 350 km, and the total output is 400 "horses".
