The exterior conveys a contemporary look that reflects Volvo Cars’ ongoing transition towards full electrification. Inside, the refreshed interior features new premium materials and enhanced features, which embrace the customer benefits of human-centric technology.

The S90 is also available in a mild hybrid version, featuring a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with front wheel drive, which offers generous power and high efficiency.
The Rally Regione Piemonte came to a close yesterday after setting the perfect stage for Lancia’s highly anticipated return to the rally world. The heartbeat of the event could be found in the Lancia Corse HF Village, which welcomed thousands of guests in the center of Alba, providing them with an immersive experience into the world of motorsport, technology, and local culture. Located in the heart of the Langhe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Lancia Corse HF Village offered a unique blend of heritage and innovation within a jam-packed program of activities: test drives of the New Ypsilon (available in hybrid and electric versions), a display of the sporty 280-hp Ypsilon HF, and spectacular collection of 25 historic Lancia vehicles organized by the Cinzano Rally Team. Naturally, to connect with fans from all over the world, all of the weekend’s most exciting moments were shared live on the official channels of Lancia Corse HF on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. The Lancia event was further evidence of the immense excitement surrounding the Turin-based brand’s return to motorsport.

Volkswagen of America Inc. unveiled the all-new 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo, which will be the nameplate’s top trim beginning in Model Year 2026. The Tiguan Turbo takes all the great features of the 2025 Tiguan—bolder styling, a refined, high-quality interior, and an advanced infotainment system—but adds 67 more horsepower to give the vehicle a more sporting character. Under the hood, the Tiguan Turbo features a more powerful version of the EA888 evo5 turbocharged four-cylinder 2.0-liter TSI® engine that powers the rest of the Tiguan range. The engine makes 268 horsepower at 5500 rpm, an increase of 67 hp over the other models, while torque increases from 207 pound-feet to 258 lb-ft, delivered between 1900 and 5400 rpm. The improved performance compared with the base engine comes from a number of changes. The engine has a larger turbocharger that enables higher boost pressure, combined with a lower 10.5 to one compression ratio. Internally, the engine benefits from stronger pistons and connecting rods, as well as a nitrided crankshaft. The engine also has oil cooling for the pistons, as well as variable valve lift on both the intake and exhaust side. It still uses Miller-cycle technology to help improve fuel economy compared to a conventional four-cycle engine, and runs on regular gasoline. The Tiguan Turbo powerplant also benefits from several changes shared with the lower power engine, such as higher fuel injection pressure, raised from 5,076 psi (350 bar) to 7,252 psi (500 bar). There are further tweaks to the intake, intercooler, and lubrication system, including a higher-displacement vane-type oil pump. Changes to reduce friction include optimized chain drives for the cams and oil pump. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The Tiguan Turbo has standard 4Motion® all-wheel drive. In addition to the power upgrade, third-generation Tiguan models weigh up to around 170 pounds less than the outgoing model, helping both fuel economy and acceleration. EPA-estimated fuel economy is not yet available and will be released at a later time. The weight savings are in large part due to the use of lightweight materials in the body structure and suspension, as well as to changes to the braking system.

FIAT Grande Panda Kartell takes center stage at the Salone del Mobile in Milan from April 8th to 13th, hosted at Kartell’s stand. This exhibition marks a significant moment, celebrating the return of FIAT to its “home segment”, where it has long been a leader and will continue to reign with the Grande Panda. It also offers a platform to showcase the virtuous collaboration between FIAT and Kartell, highlighting the successful fusion of two complementary worlds. The ongoing collaboration strengthens the long-established relationship, which dates back to the 1950s when Kartell designed the iconic ski rack for the first generation of the Fiat 500. The bond has evolved over time with projects such as the one-off Fiat 500e Kartell, designed together with Centro Stile in 2020. Today, this creative workshop continues the legacy with the Fiat Grande Panda Kartell. The work-in-progress Fiat Grande Panda Kartell is the star of the stand, embodying the values and stylistic features of both brands, this new project focuses on the contamination of ideas and materials in both industries. FIAT introduces automotive language into the realm of design, while Kartell elevates design as a key component of the driving experience.
Responding to the challenges of climate change and the conservation of resources, the automotive industry is engaged in a major transformation. Through Emblème, Renault is continuing the exploratory studies initiated with the Scenic Vision concept in 2022. Exploring the field of possibilities to the full, its aim is to create a working prototype of a family car –spacious, comfortable and high-tech – while taking decarbonisation to new levels. No aspect of decarbonisation can be studied as an isolated issue. Any approach has to address the entire vehicle life cycle from cradle to grave in five key areas: eco-design, selection of resources, production, use and end of life. Developed by Ampere, Renault Emblème is a demo car reflecting this approach. A vision of a low-carbon family car from start to finish, it emits 90% less greenhouse gases (CO2eq) over its entire life cycle than the 2019 baseline.

With the groundbreaking Opel Experimental concept car, the brand illustrated the path to the future – the new Opel Grandland already makes many of these visionary innovations a reality for customers.

This Italian masterpiece continues to evolve while staying true to its heritage. Since its rebirth in 2008, the Moto Guzzi V7 has followed a consistent evolutionary path, building increasing appreciation among a broad, diverse audience. After a significant update in 2021 introducing the 850cc engine, the 2025 Moto Guzzi V7 range offers notable styling and technical enhancements and welcomes back a legendary name. Alongside the well-known V7 Stone and V7 Special, the new Moto Guzzi V7 Sport debuts as the most technologically advanced V7 to date. The iconic air-cooled transverse V-twin engine with shaft drive—a unique configuration worldwide—embraces the new Euro 5+ regulations and has undergone significant improvements, including adopting multi-map Ride-by-Wire throttle control. This innovation allows for more precise, customisable power delivery and includes Cruise Control as standard. Power has increased by 4%, but above all, a much stronger and smoother torque curve delivers immediately noticeable benefits across all conditions."
The Automobili Lamborghini Museum presents a new monographic photography exhibition, “The Industrial Perspective” by Italian artist Lucrezia Roda. Opening on World Art Day on 15 April, the exhibition marks a new chapter in the cultural narrative of the Lamborghini brand and confirms the museum’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the dialogue between art, industry, and community. This new exhibition follows the success of the 60th anniversary celebrations and the exhibition “Dreamaway – Lamborghini through the eyes of the world” in 2024 with works of art inspired by Lamborghini’s heritage. A point of reference for innovation, design and automotive culture, the museum attracted a record of 172,000 visitors in 2024: a 26% increase over 2023. Born in 1992 and with a background in theater photography, Lucrezia Roda has brought her spectacular approach into the industrial world, making it the focus of her visual research. The works in the exhibition are displayed alongside the most iconic cars of the House of Sant’Agata Bolognese that populate the Museum, guiding visitors on an immersive journey through industrial environments that are often inaccessible, with new images of the Lamborghini factory taken from the series “Inside Lamborghini” (2023), along with a selection of photographs taken in other important Italian companies. The visual narrative is constructed through these chromatic and semantic associations that link the Lamborghini universe with other industrial spheres, generating unexpected connections between forms, lights, textures, and atmospheres. The dialogue between the images creates a visual tension that highlights, by contrast or by affinity, the singularity of the places depicted, while the title of each work evokes its meaning. The surfaces of the materials becoming textural, the colors accentuated by the photographer’s gaze, and the rigorous composition of the shots are combined in a visual language that speaks of identity, function and beauty. Each photograph is bound to the other by assonance or dissonance, constructing a story that goes beyond the images themselves and invites the viewer to observe the industrial landscape with new eyes.
All-round SUV with charisma. The new Tayron is an all-round SUV. With up to seven seats, an extra-large luggage compartment, front- or all-wheel drive and a very high level of safety, it is perfectly suited for larger families and any leisure adventure. At the same time, the comfortable Tayron impresses as an ideal company car. Robust all-terrain features on the exterior and high-quality materials in the interior ensure that it drives through the jungle of everyday life undamaged. As a mild hybrid (eTSI), it does this as often as possible with the turbocharged petrol engine deactivated. Thanks to electric recuperation, the vehicle then drives in silent and efficient coasting mode. As the plug-in hybrid (eHybrid) variant, the Tayron runs purely electrically for up to 126 km; together, the combination of electric drive motor and high-tech turbocharged petrol engine offer a range of more than 900 km for long journeys. Equipped with a turbodiesel (TDI) or turbocharged petrol engine (TSI) with all-wheel drive (4MOTION), the SUV also masters off-road stretches with confidence and can pull trailers weighing up to 2,500 kg. The all-rounder is positioned between the Touareg (premium class) and the Tiguan (mid-sized class). The Tayron is built where it was developed: in Wolfsburg.
The new Audi A6 Avant sets design standards and stands for quality and comfort in the premium full-size class like no other vehicle. It impresses with a cleverly designed body concept and lots of variability, offering plenty of space for everyday life as well as for demanding recreational activities. Whether on long trips or city driving, the adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering ensure a smooth ride and sporty handling in equal measure. The Audi A6 Avant models are based on the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC), powered by modern gasoline and diesel engines that are more efficient and dynamic thanks to the mild hybrid technology MHEV plus. Additional highlights include intuitive operating and infotainment concepts, new digital lighting technology, and intelligent driver assistance systems. Since 1977, the name Avant has stood for vehicles that combine sporty and elegant design, superior functionality, and outstanding driving dynamics. Forty-eight years after the debut of the Audi 100 Avant, the A6 Avant is ushering in a new era.
