Audi unveiled its “near production ready” A8 hybrid model that is is equipped with Audi’s fully developed turbocharged, direct-injection 2-liter, 4-cylinder gasoline engine, linked to a 33-kilowatt electric motor (or 44 horsepower) via a wet clutch.
Toyota revealed its upgraded new RAV4 model which is a hot selling model, especially in the Chinese market. Toyota did not divulge details of the car but it is expected to be powered with a new fuel-efficient 2.0-litre petrol engine with revamped interiors with more equipments inside.
