Car review: Fiat Nuovo Croma

-
Image
The Nuova Croma makes its debut, the Station Wagon as Fiat sees it, a car full of innovation and substance, with new styling and a more rational range. It can boast both second generation Multijet engines and a lavish array of comfort, safety and infotainment equipment. The Nuova Croma is a benchmark for its segment, with an amazingly roomy interior, and an excellent level of ‘well-being on board’ however long your journey is, thanks to equipment worthy of a flagship that is now the standard outfit, and above all for the original ‘styling’ formula inherited from the previous model – the ‘Comfort Wagon’ concept – that makes it, once more, the roomiest car in its segment. With its even more dynamic look, the Nuova Croma immediately communicates a new approach to the car.

  Formula One is moving towards hybrid engines and renewable fuel. Major environmental progress or just ‘greenwashing’? Yasir Arafat , Edith Cowan University ; Muhammad Rizwan Azhar , Edith Cowan University , and Waqas Uzair , Edith Cowan University For the millions of fans who tune into every race, Formula One (F1) is more than just a sport – it’s the apex of aerodynamics, skill and strategy. Behind the scenes, a quieter but more crucial race against carbon emissions is unfolding. Given the sport’s substantial carbon footprint , F1 has faced criticism from society and even from its own drivers.
