Starting with the larger of the two SUVs, the latest X5 first made its global debut back in June last year. 19 mm). The wheelbase has also been increased by 42 mm to 2,975 mm. The design is new too, with an enlarged kidney grille, sharper headlamps with trademark hexagonal corona ring daytime running lights, new taillights and a revamped interior. This particular example comes with the M Sport kit, as the aggressive front apron clearly indicates. As for the interior, the BMW Live Cockpit Professional system is a standard fitment, and consists of a digital instrument cluster display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen on the dashboard. We also see what is likely Vernasca perforated leather in Cognac being used as the upholstery for the cabin. The layout of buttons on the left steering wheel spoke also suggests the X5 seen here doesn’t come with the Driving Assistant Professional package, which includes things like Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go. As for the powertrain, the badge at the rear points towards this being the X5 xDrive40i that features a 3.0 litre turbocharged inline-six.
The mill makes 340 PS (335 hp) and 450 Nm of torque, paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system. Performance-wise, the variant will sprint to 100 km/h from a rest in 5.5 seconds, and tops out at 243 km/h. Moving on to the X4, it too has been completely redesigned since February 2018, sporting more slimmer lighting units at the front and rear. Aimed at those who want a “coupe version” of the current G01 X3, the X4’s characteristic low-slung roofline has been retained. Just like the X5 mentioned above, the white X4 spotted also comes with the M Sport kit, with the front apron being divided into three sections by blacked-out portions of the bumper, forming “tusks” in the corner inlets. Inside, the G02 looks to come with the same upholstery as the X5, albeit with a different design. The higher-end Professional navigation (with a 10.25-inch touchscreen) is also seen here, while passive cruise control is another standard bit of kit as well. This being the X4 xDrive30i, as the “blurry” badging suggests, there’s a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 252 PS (248 hp) and 350 Nm. An eight-speed automatic and xDrive all-wheel drive system are paired with the engine.

Volkswagen NILS, a single-seat electric concept vehicle that offers a glimpse of a new form of minimalist mobility, has been unveiled ahead of its public debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. The concept car - which features an aluminium space frame, wing doors and free-standing wheels - has the dynamic performance of a sports car, yet travels silently, and with zero emissions. The NILS project is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development, and is designed to be both technically realistic and economically supportable. The breakthrough of electric mobility will lead to new vehicle requirements - many of which are oriented towards very specific target groups. With a range of 65 kilometres (40 miles) and a top speed of 130 km/h (80 mph) Volkswagen NILS would be the ideal vehicle for the majority of commuters in Germany. According to the German Bureau of Statistics, 73.9 per cent of all commuters residing between Berlin and Munich cover less than 25 kilometres (15.5 miles) on their way to work. Cars have always been mirrors of their times - their design styles and technological standards reflecting a particular era - and NILS is no different.
