Renault Egeus SUV Concept
Even Renault is into SUVs now. Renault’s new Renault Egeus SUV will debut at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show. These concepts will give you an idea of how the final SUV will look like.
The concept model is about the size of a BMW X5 but the final production version will only be around the size of the Toyota RAV4 and the Nissan Qashqai.
An interesting fact about the car is it’s running lights in the headlamp function both as running lamps and signal indicators thanks to dual-colour emitting LEDs.
It will be powered by a 3 liter dCi diesel engine making 250bhp mated to a 7-speed automatic gearbox with Formula-1 style paddle shifts on the steering wheel. It also has fully automatic 4WD transmission.
The doors are Mazda RX8 style.
With the doors open, the chairs can be turned sideways to allow easy access and exit.
The whole car looks very sporty. Kind of crossoverish, half SUV and half coupe. The design cues of the car flow very smoothly and the rear windscreen is almost like a bubble.
The interior looks pretty futuristic. I’m sure the actual production model would not have an interior like this. Can’t carry much people with that center divider console and armrest.

Once again another new player in the luxury SUV segment. Neat ideas for the cabin and doors. The front looks a little too much plastic maybe is a bling factor. On the overall, looks like an oversize Megane.

lolz… can’t put many people in that baby, not that nice anymore. anyway, yah, its very futuristic, hopefully it’l be retained in the final product.
dual color-emitting LEDs? u mean, when we press the signal button, the front lamp will have two colors? in the sme spot? that’s awesome! really cool! can’t really imagine how it works though.
what’s that thing sticking out like a straw at the dashboard?

The center divider console actually are possible in terms of look if they really want it… however impracticale it may be… the RX-8 had something similar, only fit 4… but then, i cant find any door handle on this car… where ah??? and those devices at the front divider console, what are those???

PETALING JAYA: Government Backbenchers Club head Datuk Shahrir Samad stressed that it was not a snub when he called off a meeting with Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz today following the Cabinet decision to review the Approved Permit (AP) and national automotive industry policy.
“There is no point in meeting her any more,†said Shahrir, who has been on a fact-finding mission regarding the industry in the past month.
sigh……

PETALING JAYA: A nationwide study on 255 food items on Aug 8 showed no direct link between their price increase and that of diesel.
A comparison was made between prices before and after July 25 when the latest price of diesel became effective.
Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shafie Apdal said the comparison showed that some prices had gone up while others dropped lower than expected.
“At the Chow Kit market, the prices of black pomfret, green and red chillies, and round cabbages went up while those for stingray, squid, tongkol and ladies fingers went down,†he said after making his rounds at the wet markets, grocery stores and hypermarkets.
Good in market goes up and down on supply & market demand, what is the long term effect ? Some stupid minister.
