Beijing motor show: Maybach 57 62 facelift


    Daimler has unwrapped today the facelifted versions for the Maybach line-up. The very refreshed versions of the Maybach 57 and the Maybach 62 were unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show.

    The facelifted Maybach 57 and 62 are still powered by the 542 horsepower engine that is now a bit more fuel efficient as it returns an average of 18.8 to 17.7 mpg with CO2 emission levels of 350g/383g per Km.

    The exterior chances include a new chrome radiator grille, a new front bumper and redesigned hood, re-styled side mirrors and new rear light clusters and new new-look 21-spoke, 19-inch wheels for the standard models and get 12-spoke, 20-inch wheels for the S ones. Also the 57S and 62S models are 11 mm longer and 17 mm wider.

    The interiors feature hand-braided or crystal-encrusted seat piping, a 19-inch rear screen, a perfume atomiser and WLAN.

    The standard cars get new-look 21-spoke, 19-inch wheels, while the S models get 12-spoke, 20-inch wheels. Maybach says the new-look car is more aerodynamic, reducing interior wind noise.

    Press Release

    At Auto China 2010 in Beijing, Maybach will be presenting its high-end luxury sedans with added sparkle and with significantly extended high-class equipment and individualisation options. A large new chrome radiator grille confidently emphasises the legendary sedans’ exceptional status. Other new highlights include the hood with a shaped edge, the trim on the front bumper with daytime driving lights featuring LED technology, high-quality, dark red tail lights and a new, exclusively developed paint and stylish wheels. In future those purchasing a Maybach 57 and 57 S will also be able to opt for the rear reclining seat from the Maybach 62 models. New items are available on request, among them seat piping which is hand-braided or refined with CRYSTALLIZEDTM Swarovski Elements, an exquisite flacon perfume atomiser and a WLAN router for wireless internet access. As an option, a 19-inch cinema screen and an overview camera for the rear passengers can be installed in the rear of the Maybach 62 and 62 S models. The output of the twelve-cylinder engine in the Maybach 57 S and 62 S has been increased to 463 kW (630 hp) but the pollutant emissions of all models have still been cut.

    The facelifted versions of the Maybach sedans are even more self-confident and effortlessly superior, their charisma even more striking. The exceptional status they enjoy finds its main emphasis in the new dominant chrome radiator grille, which is meticulously produced in two different variants. In the Maybach 57 and 62 models it has 20 fine longitudinal bars, and in the Maybach 57 S and 62 S twelve solid double louvres and a “shadow strut” flag up the vehicle’s tremendous power. Both arrow-shaped radiator grilles are also higher and boast significantly greater dimensions than before, and they have been assigned a more upright position.

    The designers have elevated the modified hood and given it sharply defined contours. It has a contoured edge and appears distinctly arrow-shaped. A restyled, horizontally structured bumper trim gives the Maybach sedans an even broader look. Daytime driving lights featuring LED technology and bordered with a chrome insert have been integrated into the outer air intakes.

    The new exterior mirrors with optimised aerodynamics for less driving noise harmonise with the striking front, whilst their large surface means improved vision. Dark red tail lights and chrome trim used on the handle in the boot lid lend the end section a powerful, distinguished look. This in turn is underlined by new high-sheen 21-spoke 19-inch wheels in titanium silver for the Maybach 57 and 62 models. The Maybach 57 S and 62 S models will in future be shod as standard with new 12-spoke 20-inch wheels in noble sterling silver. All models are available in the new Bahamas Blue paint.

    Interior – superb craftsmanship

    The rear reclining seat which has only been available in the Maybach sedans with a long wheelbase up until now can, with immediate effect, also be installed on the front-passenger side in the rear of the Maybach 57 and 57 S models. At the same time Maybach has enhanced the craftsmanship of the seats for all models. The look of the seat upholstery layout has been refined and given additional piping. On request the piping can also be hand-braided or adorned with valuable CRYSTALLIZEDTM Swarovski Elements. In the upper part of the seat backrest a redesigned badge in 925 sterling silver with “MAYBACH MANUFAKTUR” lettering is an impressive indication of the great love of detail and serves as a reminder of the prestigious environment in which one is travelling.

    Maybach cuts an equally fine figure when it comes to the range of individualisation options available for the luxury sedans, which has been significantly extended. For the very first time there is an extremely high-quality flacon perfume atomiser available on request, having been developed exclusively by Maybach. Up until now it was reserved only for the special Maybach Zeppelin model, limited to just 100 units. As an option a large, high-resolution cinema screen with a 19-inch diagonal can now be fitted to the centre of the partition in the Maybach 62 models, as an alternative to the 9.5-inch monitors in the rear available until now. If required Maybach will also fit the vehicles which have a partition – which, incidentally, can now also be personalised with motifs of the customer’s choosing – with an overview camera, via which the rear passengers are able to keep an eye on the traffic in front of them without being seen themselves – even with an opaque partition window.

    Thanks to an innovative WLAN router it is even possible to enjoy wireless internet access during the journey. This state-of-the-art connection uses the fast transmission standards HSDPA, UMTS and GSM/EDGE. A new mobile phone hands-free system with Bluetooth functionality is also available in the rear. And a newly developed DVD player in the rear now also reads extended DVD formats.

    As one would expect, the Maybach MANUFAKTUR showcases masterly handcraftsmanship with no compromises in the interior, where materials of the highest quality abound. There are three new interior appointments with different leather, carpet and headlining colours. New trim in selected dark brown bird’s-eye maple, which can be combined with brilliant porcelain piano lacquer in the Maybach 57 S and 62 S, underline the regal ambience. As an alternative, customers can now choose from carbon-fibre trim elements with a sporty touch in various different colours, such as silver and red.

    More powerful yet fewer emissions

    Even though the Maybach developers have increased the output of the Maybach 57 S and 62 S by 13 kW (18 hp) to 463 kW (630 hp), they were able to reduce the consumption figures (from 16.4 to 15.8 l/100 km) and the CO2 output (from 390 to 368 g/km CO2). The output of the 57 and 62 models remained unchanged, whilst consumption (15.0 as opposed to 15.9 l/100 km) and CO2 output (350 as opposed to 383 g/km) was also cut here. All the Maybach twelve-cylinder engines meet the EU5 standard/LEV2.

Ford Fiesta Makes Debut at Beijing


    The all new Ford Fiesta made its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, and has now made its Asian debut at the 2008 Auto China show in Beijing with the first 'performance' model, the Ford Fiesta S. The all new Ford Fiesta small car will go into production in China later this year.

    The Ford Fiesta follows the design language initiated on the Ford S-MAX and Mondeo, both award winning cars. The new Fiesta is Ford's first car from their global product development process and will see localized variants for Europe, Asia and the Americas between 2008 and 2010.

    Joe Bakaj, Vice President of Product Development, Ford of Europe: "More than ever, we’re leveraging our global product development expertise, and this car sets the scene for future great products for customers around the world that are already being developed behind it in the Ford Global Product Development System pipeline.”

    The Ford Fiesta range will most likely feature a three-door hatchback, five-door hatchback and 4-door notchback (or sedan for most people) besides the performance models like the Fiesta ST and hopefully Fiesta RS. The new Fiesta is a compact, light-weight car but uses ultra high-strength steels and therefor features a very high structural stiffness, maximum fuel efficiency and minimized CO2 emissions.

Nissan Revealed Teana Premium Sedan

    At the 2008 Beijing Motor Show, Nissan revealed the new Teana Premium Sedan – the first time we get to see the production version (other than the customary pre show leaks) of the Intima Concept from last year's Tokyo Motor Show। With this all new model, Nissan is looking to demonstrate its commitment to bringing high quality world class products to the Chinese consumers.

    The design stays very much along the lines of the concept model, albeit toned down for production। Gone are the rear hinged back doors (suicide doors) and the front windscreen which ran from the bottom of the A-Pillar right over the roof to the top of the C Pillar has been replaced with the more conventional front windscreen and sunroof.


    Power will come courtesy of Nissan's V6 Engine(VQ25DE and VQ35DE versions) and XTRONIC CVT(continuously variable transmission) and especially for China - a two-liter four-cylinder engine(MR20DE) will also be made available.

Beijing 2008: HongQi SUV concept


    Last week the omens were not looking good for the latest concept to come out of China, when initial renderings of the vehicle proved nothing more than a photshopped version of the Lincoln MKT Concept. Now the FAW Group's Premium division HongQi (Red Flag) has unveiled an SUV concept which features a quite unique appearance with a design specifically aimed at Chinese consumers.

    The overall shape of the SUV concept shows nothing innovative or overly creative and certainly looks to be close to production ready. The front fascia features an evolved version of the Reg Flag's signature grille with the addition of large vents, the side panels lack any type of unique styling lines with a very curvaceous appearance and this design style continue right around the rear end.

    Power comes courtesy of FAW's self produced V12 which will also be used in the HQE limousine, an engine which China's largest car company claims to have a number of technological advances. These include an advanced combustion system, full aluminum light weight design, optimized fuel economic efficiency and lower emissions. This engine will also lay the foundations for a V6 and a V8 engine to follow.

    A production version of the Red Flag SUV Concept is not expected until at least 2010.

Qi Ling CP1A

    170408, Beijing. The second brandnew Changfeng to be lanched at the Beijing Autoshow, the Qi Ling CP1A is the brand's new entry into the Sportsedan segment in the Chinese market

    CP1A is a codename, the real name is so far unknown and there is no name badge on the car in these pictures. The design is very well done for a Chinese brand, one of the first Chinese cars which seems to be designed with some supervisor looking at it from more than two meters away.

    The CP1A will be powered by a 1.8 liter 4 cilinder and is 4457 mm long. More details and pics will follow soon.

Volkswagen Lavida Surfaces (China)


    Volkswagen is popular in China, setting new sales records every year. Reason enough for Volkswagen to develop China-only cars. Volkswagen first showed the Neeza Concept at the 2006 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition.

    This year at the 2008 Auto China show in Beijing Volkswagen will have two world debuts. The first will be the Volkswagen Lavida, a sedan based on the previous-generation A4 platform with high end interior, hence the Mini Phaeton nickname. The Lavida will compete in China with the Buick Excelle who will step things up at the show too with the unveiling of their Invicta coupe-sedan concept.

    The second world debut, we expect, will be the Neeza in production form. After some comparison, the Lavida and Neeza have plenty of commonalities leading us to believe that an estate version will be debuted alongside the sedan.
