Hello and welcome to the actual IAA Motor Show
Where we start off at the Peugeot stand, which is dedicated to the important new 308
An important new car in a booming segment
It will have to compete with cars like the Astra, Focus and Golf
And according to our initial tests it rides very much like that Golf
From the outside I think it looks rather plain
From the inside however it looks fantastic and resembles the 208
Aside from regular versions Peugeot also presents this 308 R concept
It features a 1.6 THP engine with 270 hp so it should be fast
Apparently we skip the GTI and go straight for the 308 R
Peugeot also cares for the environment, which is why they also present this 208 Hybrid FE
It is still a concept but will only consume 2,1 litres per 100 kilometres
Peugeot says it's lighter and more aerodynamic
It features a flat underside, cameras instead of mirrors and special tires
Of course it is still a concept but should lead tot a very frugal 208
I don't know about you but I never had posters of Dacia's when I was little
But this Duster is by far the most fun Dacia ever
Dacia presents the facelift model which looks more like an SUV
It has a redesigned front, new roof rails and 4WD logo's at the rear
The big news from Renault is still covered in sheets
But we can already have a look at the facelifted Megane, which looks more like the Dezir Concept
Little changes mechanically but it now features the R-Link entertainment system
Other news is here behind me
This is the Twizy RS F1 Concept with 100 hp, which is far better than a regular Twizy
We weren't supposed to film that
The new Qashqai will be revealed later, consider this a sneak preview
More French news: this Citroen DS Wild Ruby Concept
It shows a preview of a premium DS-SUV in the spirit of the Range Rover Evoque
This is a plug-in Hybrid but perhaps that will change in the final vehicle
Outside you can drive the BMW i3, but this is the more fun i8
We've seen it, even driven it camouflaged but this is the first time we can see the final design
This is how beautiful electric, or rather hybrid, cars can be
BMW also shows the i3 which is available with or without range extender
The former has a two-cylinder engine which can get you home if the batteries are flat
We had already seen it but BMW lets you drive this i3 on an indoor test track which is impressive
I remember the introduction of the first X5, I think in Paris
I thought it was a big, ugly thing
The second generation looked better and this new third generation looks even better still
On the inside it greatly resembles other current BMW's
Some parts feel cheap and not very well made
Other things like the steering wheel and navigation screen look great though
The new X5 forms the basis for this eDrive Concept
And although a Concept, we've already spotted a camouflaged prototype
So this X5 Plug-in Hybrid will definitely enter production
It can drive 30 km on electricity before a turbocharged four cilinder takes over
And that concludes the second video from the IAA 2013
Of course, much more is coming so stay tuned - See you soon
