Next-Gen Mini Gets Circular OLED Screen And Special EV Sounds

Nearly every aspect of the new Cooper has already been revealed by Mini, but the official full unveiling won’t happen until later this year. Now, Mini has released further information and images of the hatchback’s interior, which will have new tricks for the technology’s audio and visual components.

The 9.44-inch-diameter circular OLED display that sits in the centre of the dashboard appears to be Mini’s particular source of pride. It claims that this is the first display of this size on the market to use OLED technology, and more significantly, that it will debut on the next Mini models running the Mini Operating System 9. This is the most recent iteration of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP)-based infotainment system used by the BMW Group.

Auto Companies Team Up To Open A Vast EV Charging Network in America – Why Not in Malaysia?

In order to build a network of 30,000 new EV fast-charging stations, seven major manufacturers have joined forces. The first chargers are expected to be operational in the United States in the second half of 2024 and in Canada at a later stage thanks to a joint venture by BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis.

Both the Combined Charging System (CCS) and Tesla’s exclusive North American Charging Standard (NACS) connections are supported by these chargers. Several manufacturers, like Mercedes-Benz and GM, who are involved in this joint venture, have already committed to use these NACS connections in the near future.

Mercedes Reveals The Updated V-Class Midsize Van Series

Between 1996 and 2003, Mercedes-Benz produced the Vito of the first generation.

As a more opulent and upmarket variant, the body style was also offered under the V-Klasse brand (the V-Klasse name was dropped for the second generation of the Vito). In November 2017, the eVito, an electric panel van variation utilising the W447 chassis, was released.

The EQV, with a more potent drivetrain and a larger battery than the eVito, was shown as a concept at the March 2019 Geneva Motor Show. It is an electric version of the V-Class that uses the same Vito W447 chassis.

This year, Mercedes-Benz Vans has introduced its refreshed medium-sized series with a new exterior and interior design. The series consists of the new EQV, V-Class and V-Class Marco Polo, the new eVito and Vito.

The Dolphin is the first model in BYD’s Ocean series and the first to use the “Ocean Aesthetics” design philosophy. This new C-segment hatchback has accessibility, efficiency, and practicality.
