Reflecting the immense changes<br \/>\nthe automotive industry is currently undergoing, the show&#8217;s<br \/>\norganizers have looked to create a new concept that is more<br \/>\ndynamic, with an emphasis on practical demonstrations of technology<br \/>\nrather than just the traditional static displays of vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Audi<\/strong> will show the Grandsphere, the second of<br \/>\nits three future-orientated autonomous battery electric vehicle<br \/>\n(BEV) concepts that will help define the technology landscape and<br \/>\nthe styling of the brand&#8217;s future. The Grandsphere follows the<br \/>\nAugust unveiling of the Skysphere sports car concept and hints at<br \/>\nwhat Audi&#8217;s future range-topping luxury sedan will look like in<br \/>\nterms of the eventual replacement for the A8. The car boasts<br \/>\ndramatic, elegant and angular styling that is aimed at creating the<br \/>\nfeel of a &#8216;private jet for the road&#8217;. Its 5.35-m length helps<br \/>\nemphasis the car&#8217;s dramatic styling, which is dominated by an<br \/>\naggressive front end and a large rear overhang; it will also have<br \/>\nLevel 4 autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, which will stow all<br \/>\nscreens and controls when being operated in this fashion for a<br \/>\nclean and luxurious cabin environment. In addition, a 120kw\/h<br \/>\nbattery pack will give the concept a range of over 750km.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BMW<\/strong> will unveil an exciting new concept vehicle<br \/>\nthat places an massive emphasis on recyclability at the event which<br \/>\nis being hosted in its home town.

The model will have a<br \/>\nlive online reveal today (3 September) before being shown at the<br \/>\nIAA. The company said, &#8220;The Dacia Jogger is the best companion for<br \/>\n(large) families. Versatile, it goes with all family members in<br \/>\ntheir daily adventures and their trips in the nature. With the<br \/>\npragmatic spirit that characterises it, Dacia offers a vehicle that<br \/>\nallows its customers to enjoy the simple pleasures in life with<br \/>\nfriends and family in complete freedom&#8221;. Although the brand has<br \/>\ngiven no further details, Reuters reports that this new nameplate<br \/>\nhas been designed to replace three vehicles &#8211; the Logan MCV estate,<br \/>\nand the light commercial vehicle (LCV)-based Dokker and Lodgy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mercedes-Benz<\/strong> will show a new concept for a BEV<br \/>\nversion of the G-Class in Munich. Mercedes-Benz announced plans to<br \/>\nelectrify its iconic G-Class sport utility vehicle (SUV) last year<br \/>\nand the EQG concept will point towards a production vehicle that is<br \/>\nset to go on sale in 2024, according to an Autocar report.<br \/>\nMercedes-Benz&#8217;s designers will retain the ICE G-Class&#8217;s distinctive &#8216;two-box&#8217; silhouette, although it will be updated, while the<br \/>\ninterior will use the latest display technology and design language<br \/>\nas debuted on the recently launched EQS concept. A new one-piece<br \/>\nfront grille will be the biggest visual differentiator over the<br \/>\nICE-powered car, while new wheel designs and light graphics front<br \/>\nand rear will combine with a revamped rear end will help to<br \/>\ndistinguish the EQG from the G-Class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Porsche<\/strong> has said it will launch a &#8216;future-orientated concept&#8217; at the show in Munich. The sports car<br \/>\nand performance SUV manufacturer posted a single image on Twitter<br \/>\nof a complex LED headlight design, saying that the company is &#8220;looking to the future&#8221; with the &#8220;world premiere of a<br \/>\nfuture-oriented concept study&#8221;. The company is thought to be<br \/>\ndeveloping a BEV sports sedan that will drop into the range below<br \/>\nthe Taycan, which would be a natural rival to the Tesla Model 3 and<br \/>\nthe new BMW i4, although it is also possible that the concept with<br \/>\npreview something more radical.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Renault Group&#8217;s<\/strong> Mobilize business will show its<br \/>\nnew Limo BEV sedan, designed to be used by ride hailing services as<br \/>\na taxi and private-hire vehicle. The four-door vehicle has been<br \/>\ndeveloped in conjunction with Renault Group&#8217;s Chinese partner<br \/>\nJiangling Motors Group (JMCG). It is said to measure 4.67m long<br \/>\nwith a 2.75m wheelbase; 1.83m wide; and 1.47m tall, with a design<br \/>\nthat has a short bonnet and plunging roofline. The interior has an<br \/>\neasy to clean satin finish, leather-effect upholstery, while the<br \/>\ndashboard benefits from a 10.25-inch instrument panel and 12.3-inch<br \/>\ncentral infotainment touchscreen. It also offers passengers in the<br \/>\nrear seats 288mm of legroom, with enough space for three people,<br \/>\ntwo USB ports and volume control knobs, adjustable air vents and<br \/>\nbooklights.

The brand highlighted a range of key design details. These<br \/>\ninclude the shark-nose front end, which also benefits from a<br \/>\ntriangular headlight signature, while a wrap-around window graphic<br \/>\ngives the effect of a floating roof. Inspired by motor racing, the<br \/>\nconcept features an electric motor that provides 250 kW of<br \/>\ncontinuous power and peak power of 320 kW. It is said to be able to<br \/>\naccelerate to 100 km per hour in just 3.2 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volkswagen (VW)<\/strong> will reveal a &#8220;near-production&#8221;<br \/>\nversion of the ID.5 GTX coup\u00e9 SUV at the IAA. Ahead of the reveal,<br \/>\nVW confirmed the MEB platform, and says it &#8220;wows with its elegant<br \/>\ndesign and powerful dual engine four-wheel drive.&#8221; The ID.5 GTX<br \/>\nwill be a fully connected vehicle, capable of over-the-air (OTA)<br \/>\nupdates and fitted with Car2X technology for communication with<br \/>\nother vehicles and infrastructure. The ID.5 GTX has IQ.Light LED<br \/>\nmatrix headlights, for a &#8220;likeable&#8221; look that includes a light<br \/>\nstrip which tapers toward the VW logo and is combined with<br \/>\nhoneycomb elements on either side. GTX is VW&#8217;s modern sporty brand,<br \/>\nas in the past it had GTI, GTD and GTE. The ID.5 has a motor on<br \/>\neach axle with a lithium-ion battery and projected range of 497 km.<br \/>\nVW also confirmed that the ID.5 GTX will arrive toward the end of<br \/>\n2022, with the ID.5 standard model being revealed in late 2021 or<br \/>\nearly 2022, with first deliveries due in the first quarter of<br \/>\n2022..<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outlook and Implications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As motor shows were postponed en masse as a result of the<br \/>\npandemic last year, it was decided last year that September&#8217;s IAA<br \/>\n(Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung) motor show event should move<br \/>\nfrom its traditional base of Frankfurt to Munich and take on a<br \/>\nbrand new and dynamic format. The show&#8217;s organizers, the VDA,<br \/>\nwanted to create a show that put the industry&#8217;s shift towards<br \/>\nmobility provision at the forefront while moving away from the<br \/>\ntraditional static, range display motor show, with the VDA focusing<br \/>\non &#8220;innovations, not on complete product ranges.&#8221; Instead of room<br \/>\nfor a full model line, there will be room for conferences, press<br \/>\nslots and networking. The exhibition&#8217;s inner grounds and the inner<br \/>\ncity will be connected by a test track, called Blue Lane; visitors<br \/>\nwill be able to experience new forms of mobility and low-emission<br \/>\npowertrain technologies. Finally, there will be an Open Space aimed<br \/>\nat the general public and business-to-consumer networking. However,<br \/>\nwhile this attempt at introducing a new concept for an automotive<br \/>\nshow is laudable and necessary, the creativity applied by both the<br \/>\nVDA and the OEMs attending will be key to the success of this and<br \/>\nfuture editions. While traditional motor shows have seen falling<br \/>\nattendances in recent years, both in terms of OEMs and visitor<br \/>\nnumbers, it is hard to base a show entirely around demonstrations<br \/>\nand the somewhat nebulous concept of &#8216;mobility&#8217;. There will still<br \/>\nbe an element of seeing and touching physical vehicles that<br \/>\nattendees will want to engage with. There is an excellent range of<br \/>\nconcepts on display from Audi&#8217;s space-age ultra-premium Grandsphere<br \/>\nto mass mobility taxi concepts, with AV technology and<br \/>\nelectrification being common themes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"authorclose\"> <strong><br \/>\nPosted 03 September 2021 by <a href=\"https:\/\/ihsmarkit.com\/experts\/urquhart-tim.html\" rel=\"noopener\">Tim Urquhart<\/a><span>, Principal Analyst &#8211; AutoIntelligence, Automotive, IHS Markit<\/span> <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/ihsmarkit.com\/research-analysis\/iaa-mobility-2021-germanys-new-auto-show.html\" rel=\"noopener\">Source: http:\/\/ihsmarkit.com\/research-analysis\/iaa-mobility-2021-germanys-new-auto-show.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1085019,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","type":"","auto_type":false,"post":"","stream":"","stream_url":"","waveform_data":[],"duration":0,"start":0,"end":0,"bpm":0,"downloadable":false,"download_url":"","purchase_title":"","purchase_url":"","post-count-all":0,"like_count":0,"download_count":0,"editor_note":"","copyright":"","captions":[],"sources":[]},"genre":[41983],"station_tag":[43552,3785,9829,3629,4262,3761,4045,3632,4722,3718,35871,7964,5128,6410,15387,4138,43725,7391,6405,7232,4139,3684,7302,4053,4144,4911,4725,43893,4148,4442,4557,3830,4558,4152,12798,3833,5157,5968,3726,4739,3643,3692,4906,44752,27817,4250,4003,3693,8066,5168,4473,4948,4382,4490,3772,4068,5175,5361,4653,4178,3950,4072,5279,4006,3847,45202,4312,4710,3650,31990,5429,4186,4009,3909,3653,3805,4572,3806,3703,3734,3736,3654,44618,4659,457,4088,4696,3851,5071,7030,3740,4452,7244,4094,3706,26946,43794,4257,4748,4280,4096,3916,4099,3663,4749,4541,3966,4102,8041,5114,3861,43832,3918,41573,4456,3664,4793,7934,4212,3939,4579,4215,7108,4216,3744,4390,3867,4804,4458,3778,3975,3976,477,4483,4461,4548,3977,4120,4831,4832,43632,5559,3929,3670,4229,4127,4035,4128,4361,43573,3750,44669,6986,466,4235,7031,5498,3781,4587,5307,4366,3756,44646,3815,6317,3878,3717,3937],"artist":[45145],"mood":[],"activity":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/platoaistream.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station\/1085018"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/platoaistream.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/platoaistream.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/station"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platoaistream.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platoaistream.com\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/platoaistream.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1085018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platoaistream.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=1085018"},{"taxonomy":"station_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platoaistream.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station_tag?post=1085018"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platoaistream.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=1085018"},{"taxonomy":"mood","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platoaistream.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mood?post=1085018"},{"taxonomy":"activity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platoaistream.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity?post=1085018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
