Next Generation Toyota Prius A/C remote activation on key fob
This is a familiar question for Hybrid cars like the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight. To start with, these cars’s engines are NOT used when in a stationary position or even during low speed. With the engine not running, what powers your car’s air-conditioning?
Nissan Ellure - Center Console
Ellure which rhymes with ‘Allure’ is what Japanese Car Maker Nissan came up with for a new concept car. Allure which has the same meaning as attraction and rhymes with ‘Ellure’ would probably implicate that this car gives a great deal of magnetism to car lovers. Well, at least this is what would firstly come to my mind. Judging by the physical appearance of the car, I would say any other car enthusiast would agree.
Mercedes Benz A- Class Concept
The C-X75 Jaguar concept car which was unveiled last September is gearing up for production for the coming years 2013 until 2015.

Head Lamps - BMW Vision ConnectedDrive
BMW is well known for its domination in the automotive industry especially when it comes to vehicle designs.

Back View BMW Vision ConnectedDrive
What attracted my attention with this new concept was the ability of the car to find information in real time. The ‘Parkinfo Function’ would simply be very useful in congested parking not only in Malaysia but all other countries. One of the basic problems that motorists face in everyday routine has been identified by BMW and acted to provide solution. The system works this way – the car will scan the parking area in advance, identifying which space is vacant and relaying the information to the driver before hand. Exactly what we need from a car during times where finding a parking space could be difficult.
Disappearing Door - BMW Vision ConnectedDrive
BMW is known for using ‘Head Up Displays’ as already incorporated with their models such as X5, X6 and others. But with Vision ConnectedDrive Concept, BMW has developed this feature’s ability. Fuel consumption information, Speed and Navigation is now displayed on the windscreen. This allows the driver to focus his attention on the road ahead while receiving all these information without taking his eyes off the road. This gives convenience to the driver and more safety.
Back View
The specifications for the power source of the new concept car were not revealed by BMW at the moment. But it would most probably be Hybrid or Electric Vehicle. Nevertheless, the most important information and which the company gave more emphasis on this vehicle was ‘Connectivity’. Connected driving is one of the key areas in the future and BMW is one of the pioneers in this field.
BMW Vision ConnectedDrive
As a BMW Electrical Technician from the 90’s, I would say this car manufacturer truly has led the way to new innovations in the automotive industry. From E-28, E-36 and E-29 models up to the latest X3, X5 and X6. Sadly this concept car will not make it to the production line. This means, we will not see this car on the road in the future as announced by BMW. But the technology and innovations on this car will be the basis for future models of BMW. J
