Underpinned by VW\u2019s new MEB+ platform, this vehicle is promising more space, more range (up to 435 miles), and a lower price than rival EV\u2019s. The cabin is full of technology like an augmented reality heads-up-display, a huge 15\u201d touchscreen, and a sophisticated climate control system that responds to voice commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the real \u201cshow stopper\u201d had to be the ID.7\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/roadshow\/news\/vw-id-7-ev-preview-with-electroluminescent-paint-digital-camo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">illuminated digital camouflage paint,<\/a> done in a faux QR code theme. According to\u00a0Volkswagen, approximately 40 layers of electroluminescent and non-conductive black paint was applied over electrical contacts to create this wild exterior treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the reasoning behind the dazzling exterior was for attention, which succeeded in droves, but also to disguise styling details of this new model. Sadly, Volkswagen won\u2019t be offering the illuminated paint on production models when they hit showrooms later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Peugeot_Inception_Concept\"><\/span>Peugeot Inception Concept<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Peugeot-Inception-Concept.jpg\" alt=\"Peugeot Inception Concept\" class=\"wp-image-3663\" width=\"726\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Peugeot-Inception-Concept.jpg 468w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Peugeot-Inception-Concept-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Peugeot\u2019s Inception concept was perhaps the most futuristic at CES.

In a further bit of irony, Stellantis, Peugeot\u2019s parent company, reiterated that there are still no immediate plans for the French automaker to return to the U.S. market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peugeot claims that the Inception\u2019s 680-horsepower electric powertrain can propel it an impressive 497 miles on a full charge. However, that\u2019s measuring by the more lenient European WLTP standards. If the Inception makes it to U.S. shores, its EPA-rated range will likely be less. Another boast is that its 800-volt architecture means that it can add up to 93 miles of range in just five minutes of charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the over-the-top futuristic styling, the Inception Concept showcases Peugeot&#8217;s next-generation i-Cockpit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iotworldtoday.com\/2023\/01\/11\/peugeots-futuristic-concept-car-can-drive-itself-ces-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">which has provisions for Level 4 autonomous driving<\/a>, which Stellanis refers to as the \u201cAuto Drive.\u201d When this mode is activated, the cockpit controls disappear completely, transforming the interior into a comfortable lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BMW_iVision_Dee\"><\/span>BMW iVision Dee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-iVision-Dee.jpg\" alt=\"BMW iVision Dee\" class=\"wp-image-3664\" width=\"737\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-iVision-Dee.jpg 468w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-iVision-Dee-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">BMW\u2019s iVision DEE can change color from 32 choices.

The DEE\u2019s AI is so advanced that it makes the likes of Siri or Alexa look ancient. As if that wasn&#8217;t enough, this concept car is able to change color, solving the age-old dilemma of matching your car to your clothing outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BWW Chairman Oliver Zipse announced that all future BMW models from 2025 onwards will have some variation of the features showcased on the iVision Dee. That\u2019s right, you will be able to hold a conversation with your car in only two years from now, just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/628595\/bmw-ces-teaser-knight-rider-reunion-dee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">like David Hasselhoff in\u00a0<em>Knight Rider<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iVision DEE also represents BMW\u2019s first ground-up electric vehicle platform, since all of its EVs so far were based on existing models, originally powered by internal combustion engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dodge_Ram_1500_Revolution_Concept\"><\/span>Dodge Ram 1500 Revolution Concept<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dodge-Ram-1500-Revolution-Concept.jpg\" alt=\"Dodge Ram 1500 Revolution Concept\" class=\"wp-image-3665\" width=\"723\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dodge-Ram-1500-Revolution-Concept.jpg 468w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Dodge-Ram-1500-Revolution-Concept-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A bird\u2019s eye view of the Revolutions glass roof.

Despite being behind competitors in the EV race, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramtrucks.com\/revolution\/concept.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ram\u2019s 1500 Revolution Concept<\/a> was well worth the extended wait. The suicide doors, see-through roof, and LED grille show that Dodge intends to clearly differentiate this Ram 1500 from the previous gas-powered model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this is a concept vehicle, mechanical specifications are still sparse. However, we do know that the electric Ram will have four-wheel steering, as well as an available gasoline-powered range extender which should prove especially helpful when towing. The powertrain in top-level trims is expected to exceed 800 horsepower, with a range of approximately 500 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sony-Hondas_Afeela\"><\/span>Sony-Honda\u2019s Afeela<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Sony-Hondas-Afeela.jpg\" alt=\"Sony-Honda\u2019s Afeela\" class=\"wp-image-3666\" width=\"701\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Sony-Hondas-Afeela.jpg 468w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Sony-Hondas-Afeela-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Afeela has clean, minimalistic lines.

One of those new models will undoubtably be an SUV, and likely another sedan that is more luxurious than the one displayed at CES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honda will be taking the lead on sourcing batteries and meeting specifications for range, charging and performance. For its part, Sony will be equipping the vehicles with a Lidar unit and more than 40 sensors and cameras, which will enable the Afeela to achieve increasing levels of autonomous driving as regulations and software evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Afeela sedan has a smooth, understated design that is reminiscent of competitors like the&nbsp;Lucid Air&nbsp;or the&nbsp;Tesla Model 3. The same is true of its minimalist, monochromatic cabin which belies the plethora of technology hiding under the surface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0annual Consumer Electronics Show, arguably the\u00a0most\u00a0influential technology event in the\u00a0world, took place last weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada.
