the two liter diesel is installed transversely and has an extended exhaust gas treatment this means that the engine already fulfills the euro sixty emission standards which will take effect in twenty twenty. we tested it in the less powerful variant with one hundred ten kilowatts it lets the b. class excel or write from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in eight point three seconds and achieve a top speed of two hundred nineteen. as part of the performance oriented i am g. line and equipped with all conceivable extras our test car cracks the sixty two thousand euro mark german prices. if. you ask my adults and it says an eight speed jewel clutch transmission has been installed here in the bank last fall the first time due to the close a gear ratio the engine can be driven in the best possible range. here on winding

roads that's really fun as it can deliver the right amount of power to the wheels without the driver having to give it any thought that was odd if you prefer to change gears manually there are shift paddles on the steering wheel off in advance but an inside. when it comes to safety a lot has been done with the b. class new technology from the s. class is now also found its way into the sport story. here i'm happy she's here at the harbor to meet most ladies robin lockwood will show how the active breakers system works. that's what are we about to see robin says he'll demonstrate the active safety in the newbie class. that means you get an active brake assist as well as safety braking thanks to this tronic adaptive cruise control them but if it is starlix the option to. that was half of the half because i asked him what that means in the real world

he isn't asked at all and says in this scenario we're in a thirty kilometer per hour zone and not paying attention to traffic so the system intervenes automatically port. catalyst in the image but you know. if he says let's say we're driving we're not looking at the road in a child runs into the street we first get an acoustic warning. then a visual the morning. coffee and and if we don't respond the system brings your car to a complete stop here get because we're not sure what's going on with the driver but we need to ensure that additional safety code as well i thought is a good fit for you to have touched on the horizon which is what we've just seen the cars come to a stop in front of the child not a hair out of place you know corrected. for the next test we activate the district the assistant keeps to predetermine speeds and regulates

braking processes independent environment senses braking stationary vehicles are detected and the big classes gently brought to a standstill if necessary by means of emergency braking the vehicle also monitors what's happening in back of it and brakes when a cyclist or protest are in crosses it's fast while reversing. her lateral sensors warn the driver for example if there's a bicycle near the door when you're trying to get out of the car an acoustic signal sounds and the door can only be opened when the space is clear. back on the street it's time to test another new feature of the destroyer system which we activate manually what's new is that it now also processes navigation data the vehicle automatically reduces the speed when for example a winding route requires it a vehicle in front is not necessary for orientation. the vehicle still is actively

whenever possible though the driver's hands must always remain on the steering wheel. the acting in this is the active assistance systems not only bring us closer to autonomous driving but really support the driver in a pleasant way less tense on the road and reach your destination completely relaxed even though. the modern interior with digital cockpit also plays its part a lot of it has been taken over from the a couple such as the turbine shaped and events. man has in a sense for her the highlight of the interior is the free standing scream unit it's available with displays of different sizes here this is the widescreen version with two ten point two five inch displays but they work together and present the

information very clearly there's also a head up display that projects the information into the driver's field of vision. at. the interior also offers more freedom of movement that's made possible by new designs for the door panels and trim among other things the switches for addicts on exceeded just are clearly visible there's also plenty of room in the backseat. it's gonna deny a big mistakes in the newbie classes a success not only is the design fresh and appealing the technology package offers sportiness safety and comfort the car arrives in showrooms next february but buyers who have already valued to be classrooms practicality should wait a few months for the be classed with a rear seat bench that can be moved up to fourteen centimeters and a foldable passenger seat sank and only by father.

one look at this model's proportions and you can sell it says see that. is it. according to the badge on the grill this new model is actually our copra form a racing driver in a contest that allows leaves it's clears up a mystery. you know it's all stuff he explains that seattle's new subsidiary was launched a few months back so what does cooper do build sporty cars and this is its debut model teka and its engine generates two hundred twenty one kilowatt so a class is the vehicle does a lot with it and again some. so naturally cooper has given its attacker a sporty design at the front this is most visible in the honeycomb grille and the angular headlights. customers

can order an optional brembo performance braking system or add copper colored nineteen inch alloy wheels that harmonized perfectly with the car. and the rear twin jewel exhaust outlets and striking relief user give the co practica an aura of high performance power. the corporate boasts a leather sports steering wheel with compass stitching unlike the sciatica in the copra the virtual cockpit comes standard. in the center console you'll find that things change touch screen display. in the back there's also a wireless phone charger. when

the whole class knows that a lot of the technology under the hood of this is standard function i can group equipment including this two liter t.s.i. engine. the turbo charged gasoline power plant produces four hundred meters of talk which he says gives the car plenty of kick. the two liter engine puts out two hundred twenty one kilo watts of power and is coupled with a seven speed you will clutch transmission that takes the end taken just five point two seconds to go from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour and the car has a top speed of two hundred forty seven kilometers an hour official fuel consumption is rated seven point four liters for one to come out. but while i don't. class things the turbo gasoline engine is first rate and a good placement this car has high power output transformers an s.u.v. interwoven a really sporty vehicle that should win over the skeptics. of

course adaptive dampers or us differ suspension alone can't fully compensate for the uptake as high center of gravity the group realize just one centimeter closer to the road than the regular sciatica still vehicle roll is kept to a minimum. by then but it says that this vehicle also has an all wheel drive system that is intelligent and distributes power welshed. fast terms or helping fans the wheels don't spin out and this is also helpful when going off road. the distribution of power helps to better control situational should one wheel the lift off the ground it. does guns i disobey as i to wish that. drivers can choose. tween different driving modes comfort sport individual off road

snow and the all new car promoted in co-promote the engine emits will see that cools a refined sound it taps of suspension setup is adjusted to give the car a sporty range. so that my father classes verdict the copra tech at is a vehicle that transcends the boundaries of its segment its performance figures are spot on and its price of just under forty three thousand euros is ok others might find that pricey the clown's feels you're getting a well rounded car feel money although the top trim level costs around fifty thousand euros the first he tells. project here is a vehicle for people who like a sporty ride as well as a comfortable one is now available toward. porsche

has unveiled the eighth generation of its nine eleven sports car the career as version features a six cylinder boxer engine that puts out three hundred thirty one kilowatt twenty two more than its predecessor a new fuel injection process and a revised layout for the turbo chargers and cooling system improve engine efficiency porsche says the new nine eleven can go from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour in just three point seven seconds faster than f. b.m.w. is presenting its new c four hundred g.t. what it calls the grand tourism are among mid-sized scooters it's propelled by a twenty five kilowatts. cylinder engine that's been optimized for efficiency power

is transmitted virus continuously variable transmission automatic stability control improve safety during celebrations especially on slippery surfaces b.m.w. has yet to announce a price for the new scooter. over twenty three years of passives v.w. launched the sharan and eight years since the second generation hit the road its last facelift came twenty fifty that's here as parked car tester lionel doesn't offer likens the v.w. show rounds with dinosaur threatened with extinction pointing out that hardly anyone in germany buys fans nowadays they buy his u.v. persia and citron have taken their vans off the market and very few german buyers opt for the red. galaxy so he'd like to know why the v.w. sharan is still on the market. at present v.w.

offers one gasoline engine and one diesel for the sharan both with four cylinders and one hundred ten kilowatts of output and both meet the euro six emissions normal final exams to the diesel with the highest trim level highline it makes the zero to one hundred kilometer an hour dash inhalation ten point three seconds topping out at two hundred kilometers an hour. in this version gears a shifted with a manual six speed transmission a jewel clutch automatic is also available for both engine types. of loads that the sharan has more than enough competition from within b.t.w. the little surround is quite popular while the somewhat larger v.w. bus or transporter is actually cheaper. yet the sharan does something neither of the others can't. combines utility vehicle dimensions with passenger car comfort.

sharan is four point eight five meter length allows for plenty of space electric sliding doors make it easy to get into the rear seats without really doors swinging out and damaging other vehicles close by. but inside the cockpit once again reminds us of a dinosaur it showing its years but the sharam has to be appreciated for its other virtues such as flexibility in terms of seats space. and flannel discovers that it's the passengers forward a little there is room for six or even seven people to squeeze in but to get to the row furthest back they have to do some climbing and even with such big sliding doors that some. take some agility to gain access to that back row small of passengers can wiggle their way through but the longer the legs the greater the need to find a seat closer to the front but this is part of life in

a large family. but. even a dinosaur has to go with the time so v.w. in down its good old family van with a slew of assistive systems unfortunately they all cost extra with the exception of the park assist which comes standard in higher trim levels and twenty five hundred euros in germany the most expensive drive is assist systems come in the plus package and include the city emergency braking system. yeah i feel that if the shahram drive like a passenger car ronald is not surprised because essentially it is one it's based on the previous answer of the current percent except with a spacious body voting all the seats down gives it the twenty three hundred liters of cargo space as a five seater it still offers one thousand two hundred liters and putting all seven seats up will leave three hunt. in seventy five falling down the five separate

seats in back to get an even loading floor is child's play the engineering has been tried and tested for years nothing jams or catches on edges or corners she would still take it would be hard to top the sharan. was this that i'll point out that on the outside the sure hands as big as a mid-range sit down inside it's a spacious is a. it doesn't waste space on ground clearance much as a family car it uses every usable centimeter but then it doesn't offer the higher seats that many people appreciate in s.u.v.s even so over thirty thousand people a year choose a share and in germany that is a thousand mentioned for i don't shop. currently sure and so engines only meet the euro six emissions norm it might be a good idea for v.w. to install some more up to date engines so the friendly dinosaur won't be extinct for some time to come.
