Ford celebrates 30th anniversary of unusual Ka model

Cologne is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the unusually designed Ka model, the originator of Ford's then-current design direction, which was hidden behind the name New Edge.

Known for radical changes in design direction, the European branch of the American automobile company Ford presented the three-door Ka model 30 years ago, with which their then-current design direction, which was hidden behind the name New Edge, arrived on the scene.

Ford's unusually designed representative in the then-current A segment in the fall of 1996 brought with it proven mechanics from the already well-known Fiesta model, which with appropriately increased dimensions joined the company of cars from the B segment the same year, and the New Edge design direction was also adopted in Cologne when they created the first-generation Focus, which continued where the Escort left off in 1998.

The unusual appearance of the new smallest Ford divided public opinion, but there were no dissatisfied people when it came to the surprisingly spacious cabin for four people, which was achieved by an above-average long wheelbase due to which the wheels were at the very edges of the body.

The modest potential of the 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine was far below the potential of the suspension that made the small and light Ka among the most maneuverable cars at that time, which could overshadow much more powerful and expensive cars on winding roads.

Along with several special editions, the Ka was also available in combination with an electrically operated folding roof from 2000, and the most powerful version (SportKa) that arrived in 2003 was powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine (95 hp), which provided acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds.

After 12 years of production, the first-generation Ka (nicknamed the ladybug) found its way to 1.5 million customers, and Ford kept the model name in the story until 2021, when production of the differently designed third generation ceased.

Three generations in Brazil...The first generation of the Ka, launched in Brazil in 1997, represented the first step in the brand's renewal in the country, both in terms of industry and image. To produce it, the Ford factory in São Bernardo do Campo, SP, underwent a complete modernization of the assembly line.

The first Brazilian subcompact, it was also the vehicle that debuted Ford's 'New Edge' design, with innovative rounded shapes and an inspiring name - which means, in Egyptian, 'spirit that animates all living beings'. With the characteristics of ease of maneuverability, fuel economy and performance of the 1.0, 51 hp, and 1.3, 60 hp engines of the Endura-E family, it was quickly very well received in the market. In 2000, the line gained the 65 hp Zetec RoCam engine. In 2002, the hatchback underwent a rear restyling, made exclusively to meet the tastes of local consumers, with straight-line bumpers, a new trunk lid, and vertical taillights.

The second generation, in 2008, brought the first major change. The body was enlarged to accommodate five passengers, maintaining the three-door configuration. Along with the 1.0 and 1.6 RoCam Flex engines, it introduced interesting differentiators in the entry-level segment, such as volumetric alarm, remote control of the doors and trunk, and automatic door locking at 15 km/h. In the 2012 line, it underwent a slight restyling of the front grille and taillights.

The third generation, developed in Brazil, arrived in 2014 with a completely new and global design. Assembled at the Ford complex in Camaçari, Bahia, with a four-door body and more space for five passengers, the model also innovated in technology, equipment offerings, and engines. In addition to the 1.0 TiVCT three-cylinder engine, with 85 hp, produced at the new factory inaugurated in Bahia, it began offering the 1.5 Sigma engine with 110 hp, with several improvements for performance and economy.

Among other items, the new Ka was the first in its category to come standard with electric power steering, air conditioning, front power windows, power locks with remote control, and a sound system with voice commands and Bluetooth. It also innovated in its optional features, offering electronic stability and traction control, hill start assist, and the SYNC connectivity system with emergency assistance and AppLink system for mobile applications.

A strange habit that is becoming a trend: Why do some drivers put their car keys in the microwave?

The rise in the number of stolen cars is causing concern among drivers. Insurance companies already offer key cloning insurance, and drivers are using all sorts of methods, including leaving their keys in the microwave, to protect their cars from theft.

Modern car thieves no longer have to break windows or trick the ignition system. They use sophisticated attacks via key relays to steal vehicles with contactless access in less than 30 seconds, often while you sleep peacefully.

Such theft works by amplifying the signal from the contactless key, which means that a key left inside the house can be used to open and start the car at the entrance. One attacker picks up the signal from the key and amplifies it, while another transmits it to a receiver near the vehicle. The car incorrectly detects that the driver is nearby and automatically unlocks.

That's why drivers are resorting to all sorts of methods, even leaving their keys in the microwave when they park their car and come home. This is a habit that has been written about for some time now, appearing on social media and going viral.

What was once a breakthrough for many – the ability to open a car using the remote control on the key or just by bringing the key closer to the vehicle – seems to others like a threat to the safety of the vehicle.

It has never been easier for thieves to hack and "break" the lock. That's why car thefts are on the rise.

A microwave is essentially a Faraday cage – a metal box that blocks electromagnetic signals. When you put the key inside and close the door, the metal walls prevent thieves from detecting or amplifying the signal.

However, there is a serious risk – if someone accidentally turns on the microwave, you will destroy both the expensive key and potentially the microwave itself.

Also, key cloning insurance has become a new service offered by insurance companies and automobile clubs in Europe. Insurance covers not only key cloning, but also threats such as remote vehicle locking or software recovery after an external attack. All of these are risks that are already becoming a part of everyday life.

Many drivers are storing their car keys in the microwave to prevent "relay attacks," a method in which thieves use signal amplifiers to capture and clone the radio frequency of keyless entry systems inside homes, allowing them to unlock and start a vehicle parked outside in seconds.

The microwave, when closed, acts as an improvised Faraday cage. Its metal walls and the conductive mesh on the door are designed to contain electromagnetic waves, which also ends up blocking the radio signals emitted by the car key, preventing criminals from intercepting them.

Critical risks...Despite being physically effective at blocking the signal, the practice is discouraged by experts due to serious risks (below):

Irreparable damage: If someone accidentally turns on the microwave with the keys inside, the energy will instantly destroy the key's electronic chip and could permanently damage the appliance.

Fire hazard: Contact between the key's metal components and the microwave can cause sparks and even start a kitchen fire.

Inconsistency: Not all microwaves have a perfect seal; small flaws in the door seal can allow even stronger signals to leak through.

Recommended alternatives...For those seeking protection without the risks of "cooking" the keys, experts suggest specific solutions (below):

Faraday pouch: Small cases lined with armored metal material, specifically designed to block signals without security risks. They are available in stores like Amazon at affordable prices.

Simple metal boxes: Storing keys in metal cans or sealed aluminum boxes offers a similar effect without the danger of electrical activation.

Strategic distance: Keeping keys in upstairs rooms or away from exterior doors and windows makes it harder for thieves to reach the amplifiers used.

Drivers are placing their car key fobs in the microwave to protect against relay attacks, a high-tech theft method where criminals intercept and amplify the fob's signal from inside a home to unlock and start a car on the driveway. 

Why the Microwave?

Faraday cage function: A microwave acts as a Faraday cage—a metal enclosure that blocks electromagnetic signals.

Signal blocking: When the car fob is placed inside a switched-off microwave, the metal walls prevent the key from sending out a signal that thieves can pick up.

The trend: As relay thefts have increased (accounting for a high percentage of keyless car thefts), drivers are looking for free or readily available ways to secure their vehicles, and the kitchen microwave is a commonly available, functional option. 

Significant Risks and Dangers,..While effective at blocking signals, security experts and police generally advise against this method for several reasons(below):

Fire hazard: Forgetting the keys are inside and activating the microwave can damage the magnetron, spark in the microwave, and potentially start a fire.

Destroyed fob: Running the microwave with the key inside will instantly destroy the electronic chip in the fob.

Safer alternatives: Experts recommend using Faraday pouches or metal Faraday boxes (often costing $10-$20), which are specifically designed to block signals without the risk of destroying your keys or starting a fire.

What if the garage is too small for the car, and centimeters become the enemy? This is a practical solution

Cars are getting bigger, and garages, especially those in older buildings and single-family homes, remain the same size as when they were built. The result is an everyday and small, but extremely frustrating problem: the car fits inside, but you can no longer get out of it normally. This is one of the solutions.

According to research by European automobile associations, an increasing number of drivers in cities have problems parking their own vehicle in a private garage, and this is not due to poor parking skills, but simply due to the disparity between the size of modern cars and the dimensions of the garage.

All cars are drastically larger than before, and SUVs and crossovers – the best-selling segment in Europe for several years in a row – are particularly "problematic". They are wide, tall, and their popularity means that more and more drivers are juggling between comfort on the road and the hassle of their own garage every day. In practice, this means the difference between comfortably opening the door and acrobatically sliding through the half-opened door with scratches on the elbow and hand. Or, worse, scratches on the car.

Over the years, the size of cars has increased, garages, especially those in large cities, have narrow openings which make it extremely complicated both for the car to enter and, above all, for the driver to get out of the car as there is no longer any access to the car once inside. space needed to open the door. Movy Park by Green Park, a small and easy to install platform, offers the solution. Thanks to a convenient remote control it is possible, by stopping outside the garage, to activate the platform to automatically release the platforms. The driver just has to position the car on the platforms themselves, get out of the cockpit in complete comfort and, with the same remote control, reactivate the platform, which will position the car in complete safety in the garage.

The new platform is available in two models: Movy Park 2.0, which allows you to enter the garage by positioning only the front wheels of the car on the platform, and Movy Park 4.0, which you climb on with all four wheels. The choice depends on the characteristics of the car both in terms of brand and transmission. To use the 2.0 it is in fact necessary that the rear wheels, with the gearbox in P, do not lock. The check can be carried out by your trusted tire dealer or by contacting our technical office to schedule a test directly on the device.

When faced with this problem, drivers generally choose between several options: parking on the street if there is a space, converting the garage, which is expensive and not always feasible. But there is also an option that is still little talked about: automatic parking platforms.

One of the more interesting ones on the market is the Italian Movy Park, a product of Green Park Srl. The concept is as simple as it is ingenious: a platform is placed on the floor of the garage, the driver stops the car in front, gets out of it where there is enough space, and then activates the platform with a remote control that pulls the car into the garage. No hassle, no acrobatics, no scratches.

It is available in two versions – Movy Park 2.0, on which the driver places only the front wheels, and Movy Park 4.0, which accommodates the entire vehicle. Which option is more suitable depends on the type of vehicle and the type of transmission, and the manufacturer offers the possibility of testing directly in the factory before buying.

Such solutions have long been reserved for showrooms, luxury housing complexes or car enthusiasts with special requirements. But as cars have become larger and urban space has become more expensive and limited, the market for private parking platforms has quietly grown and become more accessible to the average driver.

And the logic is simple: if you have a tight garage, it is not too much to invest a small amount in a practical solution to take the burden off your back. It is a solution like this automatic platform that makes everyday use easier, while at the same time protecting the car from scratches and damage.

Croatia Rally 2026 - Neuville "gifted" victory to Katsuta

Croatia Rally 2026 is behind us. The neighbors once again organized a top spectacle, justifying their place in the FIA ​​World Rally Championship calendar.

After 20 special stages held around Rijeka, the winning champagne was opened by the Japanese Takamoto Katsuta in the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1. This is Katsuta's second victory in a row, after he won the first WRC victory of his career in Kenya. Takamoto Katsuta was the fastest on only one of the twenty special stages, proving once again that top discipline and consistency in rally sport are often more important than speed alone.

Until the last special stage, Thierry Neuville (Hyundai i20 N Rally1) was in the lead. The Belgian had an advantage of 1 minute and 15 seconds over Katsuta and the last special stage should have been a routine for the former world champion, regardless of the fact that the Power Stage is scored separately. However, Neuvulle made a big mistake, skidding off the track and damaging his car. This meant that Takamoto Katsuta took the win.

Second place was taken by Sami Pajari (Toyota GR Yaris Rally1), while Hayden Paddon (Hyundai i20 N Rally1) took the lowest step of the podium. Oliver Solberg (Toyota GR Yaris Rally1) and Elfyn Evans (Toyota GR Yaris Rally1) ruined their chances of a good result in Croatia on the first day of the competition. As a consolation, Solberg from Croatia takes the maximum number of points for Super Sunday and Power Stage.

Takamoto Katsuta takes the championship lead, with 81 points, followed by Elfyn Evans (74) and Oliver Solberg with 68 points.

Croatia Rally 2026 - Goal:

1. Takamoto Katsuta / Aaron Johnston Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 2:51:15.8

2. Sami Pajari / Marko Salminen Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 +20.7

3. Hayden Paddon / John Kennard Hyundai i20 N Rally1 +2:07.7

4. Yohan Rossel / Arnaud Dunand Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 +5:19.9

How to reduce fuel consumption by up to 20 percent while the prices of derivatives "fly through the sky"

Weeks have passed since the events in the Persian Gulf disrupted the global oil market, and the prices of "black gold" derivatives began to skyrocket. If your foot has been "hard" on the gas of your four-wheeler so far, the N1 portal brings you useful suggestions on how to save up to 20 percent on gasoline and diesel while this oil crisis lasts.

Saving fuel requires a strategy and discipline in driving that do not require any investment. Regular maintenance and driving style are key to achieving the goal of 20 percent savings. Applying these tips can bring you an additional 100 kilometers traveled on a full tank of fuel.

"Light foot" on the gas...Start and accelerate gradually. Aggressive driving is not a friend of fuel consumption. Don't be the fastest at the traffic lights, there is no need to "speed up" the gas. In big cities, there are long waits at traffic lights, and you turn off the engine. It doesn't need to run for 90 seconds if it's indicated at the traffic lights. When you start, accelerate gradually, with diesels already at 2,000 engine revolutions per minute, and with gasoline engines at 2,500 revolutions. Gears should be changed in a timely manner, as soon as possible into a higher gear. With diesels, this is at a slightly lower number of revolutions compared to gasoline engines. 

Full throttle and braking from traffic light to traffic light means at least twice as much fuel consumption compared to gradual acceleration. If you see in the distance that the green "wave" is ending - take your foot off the gas and reach the next traffic light in "neutral". Modern cars don't waste a drop of fuel when your foot is off the gas pedal. There's no reason to "rush" to the next intersection and then put your foot on the brake. Your brake discs will last longer if you "engine brake" when slowing down the car, that is, shift gears to lower and lower gears, all the way to second gear.

Tire pressure... Neglecting the optimal tire pressure affects fuel consumption. Inflate your tires to the level recommended for your vehicle type. Low tire pressure increases fuel consumption and the tires themselves. Higher than optimal pressure reduces the tire tread, so the car has less stability and maneuverability. Replace summer tires with winter tires on time and vice versa. This contributes to safety, lower tire and fuel consumption.

Air conditioning and car aerodynamics...Summers are getting warmer in Serbia, so the use of air conditioning in vehicles is increasing. The air conditioning in the vehicle puts a strain on the engine. The air conditioning on increases fuel consumption by up to three deciliters per hundred kilometers traveled. For some, a little, for others a lot. The advice is that when driving in the city, at low speeds, from traffic lights to traffic lights, simply open the car windows. At speeds exceeding 80 km/h, when you go on a highway or motorway, open windows spoil the car's aerodynamics, so it is more economical to turn on the cabin cooling and close the windows. This way, fuel consumption is lower than with increased air resistance when the windows are open and aerodynamics are impaired. Roof racks also disrupt the aerodynamics of the car, so remove them when you don't need them and save a few deciliters of fuel.

Optimal speed on the highway and motorway...One of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption is to maintain a constant car speed on highways and motorways. If you drive steadily between 70 and 90 kilometers per hour on the highway - gasoline or diesel consumption will be ideal. When it comes to motorways, it is ideal to drive 110 to 120 kilometers per hour. Above that, fuel consumption jumps sharply. It is also useful to plan routes to the planned destination. Opt for shorter routes and when you need to "finish" something in the city - do several jobs at once instead of doing it for each task separately.

Proper vehicle maintenance and unnecessary luggage...A car consumes more fuel even with minor malfunctions. This advice is logical in itself, as it is for all other machines and devices. If you change the oil in the engine on time, replace the spark plugs in gasoline engines and change the engine air filter - you can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10 percent. Additional savings are the elimination of unnecessary weight in the vehicle. Remove unnecessary things from the vehicle because everything counts, every kilogram to reduce consumption.

When everything is added up and that is up to 20 percent of consumption reduction, driving style and paying attention to "little things" at a time when fuel prices are "wild" not only in Serbia - bring a reduced burden on the household budget. Such an attitude also contributes to less environmental pollution and a longer working life of your car.

Reducing fuel consumption by up to 20% is possible through a combination of changes in driving habits and preventive maintenance. Studies show that reducing speed on highways (for example, from 120 km/h to 100 km/h) can, on its own, provide this 20% saving.

1. Changes in driving habits (below):

Reduce speed: Most vehicles reach peak efficiency between 50 and 90 km/h. Driving at 120 km/h consumes about 20% more fuel than at 100 km/h.

Maintain a constant speed: Speed ​​fluctuations between 75 and 85 km/h every 18 seconds can increase consumption by 20%. Use cruise control on flat roads to maintain the pace.

Smooth acceleration: Avoid "sudden starts". Taking about 5 seconds to reach 20 km/h from a stop can significantly reduce urban fuel consumption.

Anticipate Traffic: Look ahead to avoid sudden braking. Take your foot off the accelerator early when you see a red light or slow traffic; this activates the fuel cut-off in modern engines.

Shift Gears Early: In manual cars, shift to a higher gear as soon as possible (usually around 2,000 to 2,500 RPM) to avoid unnecessary high RPMs.

2. Vehicle Maintenance (below):

Tire Pressure: Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance. Keeping them inflated according to the manual can improve fuel economy by up to 3-5%.

Remove Unnecessary Loads: Every extra 25-50 kg increases consumption by about 1-2%.

Aerodynamics: Remove roof racks and bicycle carriers when not in use. They can increase fuel consumption by up to 20% at highway speeds due to aerodynamic drag.

Engine overhaul: Worn spark plugs or extremely dirty air filters can reduce efficiency by up to 30% in severe cases.

3. Use of accessories and planning (below):

Air conditioning: Continuous use can increase consumption by up to 20% in cities. At low speeds, open the windows; at high speeds (above 80 km/h), air conditioning is usually more efficient than the drag caused by open windows.

Avoid idling: If you are going to be stopped for more than 60 seconds, turn off the engine. Restarting the car consumes less fuel than leaving it running while stationary for a minute.

Combine trips: Cold engines consume much more fuel. Plan your tasks to accomplish them in a single trip, keeping the engine at the ideal operating temperature.

Half a century of the Citroen 2CV Spot: how summer character became an icon

The Citroen 2CV Spot was not born by chance. It is the product of a clear idea and a precise aesthetic decision. Designer Serge Gevin offered two variants; the one that gave the car a sunny, summer character was chosen — an orange and white combination, a striped roof and fabric reminiscent of a beach chair. The result was simple but powerful: an instantly recognizable car.

The idea was born in 1974, and the prototype was photographed on the Normandy coast in January 1976. Production began at the Levallois factory at the end of February of that year. The name was supposed to be Transat, but because of the protected trademark, Citroën chose Spot — a short, sonorous name that suited the spirit of the model.

The Spot was based on the 2CV 4 and had a 435 cc engine. Key features were:

a two-tone body: Orange Tenere and Blanc Meije;

a striped sunroof above the front seats;

Orange Vénitien fabric on the seats;

stainless steel wheel covers borrowed from the Dyane;

“Spot” sticker on the front doors.

A price of 13,600 francs and a fuel consumption of 5.4 l/100 km made it affordable and practical for the buyers of the time. The design was not just a decoration — it was a strategic tool for differentiation in a mass offer.

Market effect and expansion... Citroën turned the launch into a national event: it organized a national presentation competition through its dealer network. The public reaction was immediate — all available units were sold out in a few days. Demand exceeded supply; the last deliveries were completed in May 1976, with only a few examples sold in June.

The model soon crossed the borders of France. From October 1976, it was also produced at the Forest plant (Belgium) and marketed in Italy, the Benelux, the United Kingdom (with a more powerful 602 cc engine for the British market) and the Nordic countries. Its success was unique in all markets: customers responded enthusiastically.

Half a century later, the 2CV Spot was no longer just a model — it had become part of automotive culture. Its importance lies in several points:

The first limited-edition model in Citroën's history; it paved the way for future special series.

A consistent visual identity that clearly communicated the brand's message and attracted the attention of a wider audience.

Impact on car marketing: Citroën showed that limited series could create a hit and media buzz.

Today, the Spot will be the star of the Nationale 2 CV 2026 in Villiers-sur-Loir (13–17 May) and on the poster for Epoqu’auto in Lyon (6–8 November 2026). This confirms that the model still has symbolic weight and commercial value in the world of classic cars.

MERCEDES-BENZ

The 2027 Mercedes C-Class 

The 2027 Mercedes-Benz C-Class will undergo a major transformation, focusing on a new 100% electric (EV) variant tested in Sweden and expected for 2026/2027. The electric model should offer a range of around 800 km, 800V ultra-fast charging, and a liftback design. Combustion engine versions will receive a facelift with improvements to the hybrid system and interior.

Mercedes was spotted testing a prototype of its upcoming 2027 C-Class recently. The sports sedan is one of several vehicles the German manufacturer has tested in recent months. Our photographer got some pretty detailed shots of the upcoming vehicle, including the interior, and here’s what they tell us.

The front fascia redesign Mercedes has undertaken with the upcoming C-Class is pretty apparent. The upper grille and lower intake both look distinct from the 2026 model. Mercedes has also incorporated the star motif into its headlights, something we’ve seen on pretty much all upcoming models. Arguably, it’s a little more toned down on the C-Class, with the company sticking to one star per lighting unit.

While the face has indeed been lifted, the rear seems largely unchanged. The camouflage Mercedes has applied could be masking something, but whatever it is will be very subtle. A star-like symbol does appear in the taped-over taillights, too, but that isn’t exactly news. The tail light shape may have changed between the 2026 and 2027 models, but that’s where Mercedes is applying an awful lot of tape to keep things vague.

But we’ve all seen the outside anyway. The big news with this batch of spy shots is all in the interior. For a start, Mercedes has rolled back the steering wheel design and has opted to bring back physical buttons. So if you weren’t a fan of the German Manufacturer’s captive touch interface, then there’s some solid news for you right there.

The biggest omission is the frankly fantastic-looking MBUX superscreen, which is confirmed for a few other upcoming Mercedes vehicles. Instead, you’ll get the same digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen that the 2026 model had.

That does not mean you’ll get the same infotainment system. An upgrade to MB.OS means features like natively integrated Google Maps are now included, alongside a more diverse app landscape. Computing power has also received a boost, so you have AI-assisted voice control and better driver assistance systems.

From what we can tell, the 2027 Mercedes C-Class is just a facelift. So you won’t see any significant changes to the powertrain, suspension, or other key components. For the most part, it’s all going to be cosmetic. On the Mercedes-Benz edition, anyway.

That means on standard trims, you’ll still see the same turbocharged, 2-liter, inline-four engine under the hood. However, with the AMG version of the C-Class, you are getting a significant engine upgrade. Speaking to Edmunds earlier in 2026, AMG CEO Michael Schiebe confirmed that the Mercedes-AMG C 63’s four-cylinder hybrid system was making way for a 3-liter turbocharged inline six. Essentially the same one that is currently found in the CLE 53.

Highlights of the 2027 Mercedes C-Class (Projections and Spy Photos):

Electric version (EV):

-Platform and range: Based on the MB.EA architecture with batteries up to 94 kWh, aiming for over 800 km of range in the WLTP cycle.

-Performance: All-wheel drive with dual motors (360 kW) and high-performance AMG versions exceeding 800 horsepower are expected.

-Design: Spy photos show a semi-fastback design with recessed door handles and a grille with pixelated lighting.

-Production: Production is expected to begin in Hungary in the second quarter of 2026.

Combustion engine version (Facelift):

-Design: The update will include headlights and taillights with the brand's signature "star" and a new front grille, similar to the GLC line.

-Interior: The dashboard should forgo the Hyperscreen to maintain the current style, but with an update to the MB.OS system, bringing advanced artificial intelligence.

-Engine range: The range of gasoline engines (4 cylinders) will receive the second generation of the integrated starter generator (ISG).
