Car Dealer Simulator News

[h2]What's New:[/h2]

• New Car: Ardena Ignis, available from reputation level 8
  
  
  
  The Ardena Ignis is a coupe that strikes a rare balance between sportiness and elegance. Its flowing lines and timeless proportions give it a commanding presence, while precise handling and a strong engine range make it a joy to drive. Built over a full decade, the Ignis became one of Ardena’s signature models – modern in engineering yet carrying the spirit of a classic coupe.
  
  
• New Vehicle Scanner Tab – helps you estimate earnings from work done on a vehicle.
  
  
  
  
• Full Controller Support – the game has been playable on PC/Xbox controllers for some time, now it fully supports controllers, and all future updates will include this support.
  

[h2]Other Changes:[/h2]

• Fuel cans are now deployed from the inventory using a button instead of the radial menu, unifying gameplay with upcoming deployable elements.
  
• Fixed positions of some vehicles on tow trucks to prevent wheels from spinning or levitating.
  
• Fixed progress tracking for bodywork tasks on Largo wrecks.
  
• Improved trophy creation jingle – now 3D sound instead of 2D.
  
• Improved employee app UI on tablet – text in some languages now fits properly in frames.
  

[h2]Sneak Peek:[/h2]
Soon, changes will come to the player’s yard! A new building and excavator aren’t there by chance. Any guesses what it will be?
