The interior of the 2013 Audi A3 has been unveiled at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The car itself will be officially unveiled and available at the Geneva Motor Show in March, while details about the interior of the model are already common knowledge amongst the clients and fans everywhere on the Globe.

This Audi model can pride itself with a simple design and a clean layout. For instance, an attractive characteristic of this car is the gesture-recognizing touchpad that is integrated in the round rotary pushbutton making it a touch-wheel. In addition, there is an electrically deploying 7-inch display at just 11mm in thickness, a dash-mounted monitor that generates 3D graphics and the Audi Phone Box – a universal interface between the car and mobile phone.

As for the interior technology, Audi is promoting its latest Audi Connect initiative that covers the intelligent networking of cars with the owner and the Internet.

The intuitive touch-pad system will control most of the vehicle functions, which is already available in premium models like the A7 and A8. Probably the most useful feature will be the new voice activation control system which Audi has promised will work with Google point-of-interest search for the navigation as well as many other vehicle functions.

Ford has officially revealed its all-new Mondeo sedan at the Detroit Motor Show. Unveiled as the Ford Fusion, the new model will be badged as the Mondeo for the European and Australian market as part of the auto manufacturer’s One Ford policy for designing an engineering vehicles to be distributed to the global market.

Clients must know that there is a similarity between the Ford/Mondeo’s bold and broad grille to that of the Aston Martin. The new design of the Mondeo is carried over from the Evos Concept car revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011 as well as the more recently revealed EcoSport in Delhi.

The new EcoSport car model has recently been revealed by Ford’s chief executive officer Alan Mulally at the 2012 Delhi Motor Show.

The eco-friendly SUV launched alongside seven other new Ford models in India by the middle of the decade.  Based on Fiesta running gear, the B-platform is destined to underpin more than two million vehicles a year by 2015.

The car has Ford’s smallest engine  - a 118bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder EcoBoost engine that will churn out 120PS of max torque. A 1.5-litre diesel powerplant is to follow.

The EcoSport line is manufactured in South America under the One Ford strategy. Thus, while Delhi will be the first to receive the new model, sales will follow in South America, China, North America and possibly Europe at a later stage.
