Preview: The Superb, a colossus and Seat on two wheels

Reformation Day and All Saints' Day: News from the automotive industry is likely to flow a little more sparsely next week. Nevertheless, there is one novelty in the diary: Skoda presents the fourth generation of the Superb. October marks the end of the season for many motorcyclists.

In any case, it's time to start thinking about the first Christmas presents. In addition to books, calendars are recommended every year. Hamburg-based photographer Carlos Kella will once again be presenting car fans with his special mix of "Girls & legendary US cars" in 2024. Luxury, performance, charging speed - the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is one of the top electric vehicles on the market, and not just because of its sheer size and opulent equipment. And with the top version 580 4-Matic, the Swabians impressively demonstrate that they are also among the masters in the house when it comes to electric mobility.

There is no reason to do so with the Seat Mó 50, however, as the Spaniards are breaking down the already familiar light motorcycle version of their electric scooter into the 45 km/h class. Our practical test shows how the basic mobility below the microcar feels.We also talk to Martin Daum, head of Daimler Truck, about the future of truck propulsion. In addition, as usual, we keep you up to date with the latest news from the automotive and motorcycle world. (aum)
