A strong order book and three new models will allow VW's sporty Spanish brand to withstand a downturn, Seat and Cupra CEO Wayne Griffiths said.

The Chinese EV maker's Seal midsize sedan and Seal U midsize SUV are positioned as rivals to Tesla and VW.

All 33 examples of the coupe have already been sold. A V-6 twin-turbo engine has more than 620 hp, while a full-electric option has more than 750 hp.

Michael Cole has Hyundai chasing a sales level not seen since before the pandemic. The Europe boss is "absolutely confident" the automaker can set a new all-time high in the region this year.

Tech exec Christian Schultze said EV shift remains Japanese brand's focus, but "sensible, feasible" alternatives should also be considered.

The car, which could be called the 33, will be based on the Maserati MC20 Cielo roadster, which has a mid-mounted V-6 engine, according to reports in the Italian media.

The SF90 XX Stradale coupe and SF90 XX Spider roadster are aimed at wealthy customers looking for an extreme performance track car that can also be driven legally on the road.

The EV maker's head of sustainability, Fredrika Klaren, said the key to success is collaboration, but few rivals are ready to work together.

The Vietnamese automaker makes everything from plastic injection moldings, to subassemblies, to seat frames at its factory in Hai Phong.

Smart Europe CEO Dirk Adelmann targets 130,000-unit-a-year volume once the brand's portfolio reaches three models from its new joint venture.

The Mazda MX-30 was launched in 2020 as a car for city and urban commuters who will not use it as their primary car. With that in mind, Mazda gave the compact crossover a 35.5-kilowatt-hour, resulting in a relatively short range of 200 km (124 miles) between charges.
