Friday afternoon, half past four. The computer is turned off, the weekend has begun. At autoreview.nl we look back at the week Alfa Romeo revealed its fourth model (!) and PHEV drivers were shocked. Good news, bad news, up and flop.
Top – the new Alfa Romeo Milano has it both ways
We always find an interesting new Alpha The new Alfa Romeo Milano makes us even more excited. Not only does this look like the car that could put the brand back on the map in terms of sales numbers, it will be available as an EV or combustion engine. That only increases his chances of success, especially in his native Italy
Top – Electric cars have no road tax for a long time
Anyone who drives electric cars or plans to do so soon can breathe again. An electric vehicle will remain completely MRB-free for a much longer period of time than expected and the establishment of a full pound also takes longer.
A hint
Well insured on the road
Choose the service that matches your (electric) car with Interpolis Car Insurance. Average cost of €0 and free repair option.
Top – New Opel Frontera replaces the Crossland
In fact, we have always found the Opel Crossland to be a wonderful car, slim and high. So we are very happy with its successor, which has been christened Opel Frontera. Besides being nicer and cooler, the Frontera is also more spacious than its predecessor.
Flop – A nasty surprise for PHEV drivers
The fact that EV drivers continue to drive tax-free for so long seems like a piece of cake. From the box of people who have a hybrid plug, to be precise. They will pay the full price of road tax earlier than expected. And that is something to swallow.
Flop – No, there won’t be a cheap little Tesla after all
Elon Musk made Tesla great. Great performance. Steps. But there is also much to criticize about the man. So it turns out Tesla’s cheap, compact promise is falling apart again.
Flop – Toyota destroys its own legacy
American The Toyota Museum has two special vintage models thrown into the shredder. You would expect them to have more respect for their own heritage. Especially for the Prius, which was once considered the fastest hybrid car in the world. And where can you find a good example of that big sedan that they are also going to destroy? Shame!
