#Baltazar Automóveis - press release
First and foremost, we would like to announce a unification in the naming strategy of our trim levels across new models. Given the good reception to the name Hydrogen in our Zeppelin sports car, the versions will now be named after chemical elements. The three spec level system will now be named as:
-
Nitrogen - base trim level
-
Tellurium - mid-range
-
Lithium - top-spec models
-
The names GT and RS for the sporty and ultimate versions will be mantained.
The first car to use this new naming system is the brand-new Quasar hatchback, which swiftly brings us to the main release.
#2018 Baltazar Quasar Hatchback

After the very successful launch of the Quasar sedan in the North and South American markets, winning several accolades and prizes, it is time for the hatchback model to be launched. This model is aimed squarely at the European market, the main buyers of this kind of bodystyle. The car will also be sold around the globe, including North and South America, Oceania and East Asia.
The car can be equipped with two different engines, in 5 states of tune, all equipped with direct injection. New to the Quasar range and shared with the Quark, the smaller engine comes as a 1.4 with 100 hp, a 123 hp 1.6 or a 1.6 Turbo with 150 hp. The other engine is the already familiar 2.0 unit found on the Quasar sedan, here in 202 hp guise, in the GT model, or 325 hp, as per the RS325 model, already shown in Detroit.
