In New York Auto Show, Subaru unveiled its first hybrid, the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid. As Tom Doll, executive vice president of Subaru, “Subaru were not the first to propose a hybrid, but we make sure we did it right.”

True, its format might seem hard to print this sporty signature feature, but the department has done a great job in optical (both front and rear), bumper and design alloy wheels for it.

At the moment there are not many details about the version that will to dealers. Apparently could share the LS mechanical, ie a 4.2 liter high performance hybrid.

Major changes affect front with a new grille, redesigned optics and a sportier bumper. It also has daytime running LEDs, new alloy wheels and a color palette with more colors.

The Mitsubishi Mirage will take advantage of their low consumption to call public attention. To do its small 1.2-liter, three-cylinder 80 HP will be associated with the Stop & Start system and may be chosen with manual or a CVT automatic.

The concept of the New York shows the blue highlights typical Subaru WRX and a spectacular sight that combines strongly marked wheel arches with hood bulge and triple front air intake (in three heights).

The British firm has placed under the hood of this sedan supercharged eight-cylinder engine. It develops 550 hp and maximum torque of 680 Nm, ensuring outstanding mobility.

With a 6.2-liter V8 and 426 hp under the hood, the Chevrolet Camaro SS is not exactly a version of access, especially if equipped with the option of “handling pack” 1LE including, for example, a manual Tremec six short relationships and developments, larger diameter stabilizer bars, firmer silent blocks, fuel pump high flow and 20-inch wheels.

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class ED electric motor has more than 100 kW (about 136 hp) and 310 Nm of torque, which allow you to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h “in less than 10 seconds”, while top speed has been limited to 160 km/h “in the interest of autonomy”.

Cosmetic changes focus on the front and the rear. In front, the new grille highlights Frameless matte black with a chrome slash, while the striking rear diffuser and tailpipes R-Design.
