crush. there are already four members in the volkswagen s.u.v. family but so far the german auto maker has not been represented in the rapidly growing compact s.u.v. market that's said to change with a new t. cross mom with the car test and strike months as s.u.v.s are selling like hotcakes regardless of what some people make of that so what's wagon is now expanded is range downwards starting at the top there's that jury and we have a to go on all space for a family with up to seven seats the normal take one comet and then we have the to rock and right at the bottom we now have the t. crush there are those who say it's just a lifted polo a successor to the polo cross in fact it's a completely different vehicle let's take a look at the fight against. all of the polo. does form the basis of the compact

issue v. from the outside in t. cross has a design all its own. from the front its membership in the v.w. s.u.v. family becomes clear the dominant hood and the y. grille with integrated headlights are reminiscent of its big brothers the tour aig and iraq two sharp horizontal lines from front to back underscore the cross-overs dynamic appearance. different patterns and optional decor elements in the body color give an individual touch to the interior a digital dash with an eight inch can for tame a touch screen and an active info display are also available.

to pursue and says that she cross has a typical s.u.v. appearance at the rear thanks to the standard every detail acts and the center mounted reflective strip of the unbroken lines help give it a dynamic look at it. when it goes on the market in may it will be available with a choice of two one leader three cylinder gasoline engines that put out seventy or eighty five kilowatts i diesel version is sent to follow a few weeks later we tested the entry level gasoline engine was seventy kilowatts output is six solar arrays fifty cross from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour and eleven point five seconds and gives it a maximum speed of one hundred eighty kilometers per hour. that's where the steering is sensitive and precise hand says it's also very smooth and he likes that even though there's not. a lot of feedback from the road the same apply to the

manual five speed gearbox which is the only choice in the seventy kilowatt version he thinks it's all right it does a good job getting into gear shifts are short and precise but no one expects that in this class the right is comfortable he says and you can take a few curves with it you don't need to worry that the car will start to tip over as far as the entry level models brakes go there are distant front drums in the rear higher trim levels have disparate front and rear they provide precise braking with absolutely nothing to complain about so freon is the tea cross has left a really good impression was ok out of the cost effectively. but it's not only that compact s.u.v.s road manners that impress there's also the trunk . and says the v.w. crossed if it has a load capacity between three hundred seventy five and one thousand two hundred eighty one leaders that's not only thanks to the fold down sixty forty split seat

backs there are scenes can also be moved forward giving a choice between more leg room in the rear and a larger load volume. there where your seat row can be shifted up to fourteen centimeters. comments and sums up by saying that buyers who can do without four wheel drive will need to look elsewhere so it shows at the t.v. rock four wheel drive isn't an option in the us but otherwise it's a vehicle that offers plenty of room and compelling road handling. card tester i know guys can hope for is reporting from way up north today more precisely from lapland in sweden just two hundred kilometers from the arctic circle carmakers in suppliers use the temperatures here to see how their systems work.

green conditions this applies to sensors computer systems and of course drive technology today we're checking out magnus technological tests bit too has so many drive variance that it's actually ten cars and one of course we want to take a closer look. so into the car and onto the snow course on the outside the two looks like any ordinary two series b.m.w. yet it's anything but ordinary and it's rare think it doesn't that's why he says there are only two of these in the world that magni two can do a lot of things now that will hopefully be installed in many vehicles in the future it has an internal combustion engine on the front axle plus an electric motor on the rear axle an electric motor with two clutches this means that the vehicle can distribute the power not only from the front wheels to the rear but also from left to right depending on where power is needed to keep the car perfectly stable or to offer a bit of driving excitement this means that unlike an e.s.p.

system the brakes the inner wheel in a sharp turn and torque vectoring system can accelerate the outer wheel guiding the car into a turn as if by magic add so a lot more fun than with conventional solutions and some then those on. the various drive concepts can be activated via a tablet in the cockpit whether simple front wheel drive with combustion engine pure electric all wheel drive maximum power with all motors partial power on the electric motors or other combinations in between everything is possible. same income or a magnet power train says the benefit of the technical work they put into this car is that they can present all of the drive train variance in one in the same vehicle that gives them a great advantage when it comes to comparing systems if they try to present these different configurations in different vehicles with different tires different vehicle weights. then such clear one to one comparisons wouldn't be possible here

the vehicle is always the same the mass is always the same the tires are the same and the direct comparison can be evaluated accurately if i try. to figure out. the smooth surface offers ideal testing conditions. the system way he says the system automatically regulates the longitudinal in the lateral power distribution that's usually done on the basis of a physical model of a vehicle it means they calculate it target vehicle state and compare it with the actual vehicle state using sensors the advantage of this method is then allows variable power distribution to significantly influence handling behavior that means they can if necessary help the vehicle into the bend or make it more agile but if the vehicle becomes unstable they can also stabilize it is five six stopping to see

if. once in series production that will happen automatically you have a fit if he says it's now possible to distribute the power or torque over a very wide range on snow on ice you usually have about fifty percent torque on the front wheels and fifty percent torque on the rear wheels that's then adjusted to some extent in theory there's also the option of driving just one rear wheel of a kit and it because i actually do that with the periods during which only one wheel is powered are very short this is helpful for example to correct oversteer or understeer that's the best way to call it and as an investor that's what it is and that's bias this about sex it's way also a few. other things going old says these developments don't mean time until they are on the market but that depends entirely on customer demand and of course on legislation by the year twenty thirty c o two.

emissions worldwide will have to be reduced by thirty to fifty eight percent and that's exactly what these innovation platforms are needed for. so you have has unveiled its leon cooper our as a special model of a successful station wagon celebrating the end of the currently on generation a lot of real carbon and a for flow and sauces them furnish it sporty credentials the two leader turbo gasoline engine delivers a whopping two hundred twenty one kilowatts and propels the four wheel drive sedan from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in just poor point nine seconds. the new version of b.m.w. z s one thousand r r has hit the road the newly developed engine delivers one hundred fifty two kilowatts and the bike is now lighter dropping below two hundred kilograms it also offers assistance systems such as dynamic traction control cornering a.b.s.

and hill start control the top range model starts in just under eighteen thousand euros in germany. it's a vehicle that may not be to everyone's taste yet stands out with its unique design seating position and british style handling it's the fifth generation landrover discovery. guard to steam out a washy first was back in one nine hundred eighty six landrover decided to launch a relatively low price model that was supposed to fit between the range rover and the defender a reason for this was very simple at the time japanese manufacturers were pushing into the off road market more and more so web rover had to react quickly and one nine hundred eighty nine the discovery came out of the market that means it's celebrating its thirtieth. they this year in its fifth generation reason enough to

take a closer look. at. the front of the current discovery is clearly based on the range rover and the smaller discovery sport. from the side the tough appearance is even more obvious. a small rise in the roof over the seat filler and the said license plate in the tailgate or holdovers from the second generation years ago. the interior looks so classy that you might now want to get in with muddy boots along with a digital dashboard there's a touch screen in the middle of the console where you can change all sorts of

settings. in the. human was says the discovery is some press of leave big quite a land yeah right after it's one meter eighty eight tall almost five meters long making it a challenge to find a parking space and while that's a drawback it means there's a lot of space in the interior so let's take a look. yeah this is what the manual calls space there is so much head room and leg room is nothing to complain about depending on who is sitting in front of you if there's even plenty of lateral room although that's no surprise considering its outer dimensions and next is the trunk. he says the tail gate opens electrically this and that reveals a flap on the inside. that ensures that nothing falls out when the tail gate opens

if you are in a slow overcome with a guy. you can forward it down easily by pressing this button and then you can access the luggage compartment to pick out the beauty of it is you can also use it as a seat. so if your out on a trip and want to enjoy the sunset that's doable because it can support up to one hundred fifty kilograms of tide here but i think but we also see that the whole thing is relatively high there's a solution to that too you can simply lower the car by pressing a button and that brings down the loading so you can feel the trunk and then just press the button to raise it again. we tested the s d six with a three leader engine that produces two hundred twenty five kilowatts and seven hundred meters of torque its power out hood is lean year while the automatic shifts

smoothly through its eight years so despite its heft the discovery sprints to one hundred kilometers per hour and seven point five seconds land rover claims fuel consumption of seven point six liters per one hundred kilometers. so i might also isn't tall car like this also has a correspondingly high seating position but it has quite a lot the feeling you can look at the roof of most cars as they pass you that's unusual. but many s.u.v. customers like this high seating position to help them keep a better eye on traffic. and a man who once says the current discovery generation does not have much in common with the original low price discovery aside from off road capability because it's now a premium product the build quality and a very premium feel command a starting price of just over fifty five thousand euros that's not cheap and if you

choose some of the admission alaap shows then you are quickly over sixty or seventy thousand euros it would i think. the land rover discovery comes in a price but is shake on the outside luxurious on the inside and offers plenty of space it super charged three six engine powers and confidently and it has no fear of any terrain. small city cars like this go to city go tend to get thought of as sensible cars they are small consume little and still offer everything you need for mobility around town but there are still differences in their engines we will take a look at a particularly environmentally friendly version this time. to

is paid three cents we are testing the gene tech version of the c. to go today is powered by natural gas which is stored in two tanks into the trunk they hold eleven kilograms there is also a gasoline tank with ten leaders capacity which shares a bit as a backup but is also there to start the engine and today she was to find out of his car can fit her lifestyle. and natural gas v. releases up to twenty five percent less c o two into the atmosphere a little city go is at home in the urban jungle but what about the open road after all commuters don't just drive on city streets but also have longer distances to cover every day. iness the city goes name tells you where its strengths lie but her daily commute to work also includes a section of highway so now we have a chance to see how the city go responds when you want to drive fast.

so here we are on the highway both the number of commuters and the number of kilometers they cover on the way to work are increasing it would be great if they could use a more environmentally friendly fuel. into says getting up to speed might take a while. to come out sixteen point three seconds to get to one hundred kilometers per hour that's obviously a lot and weaving in and out of highway traffic on the highway requires more than a little patience but once you have reached the cruising speed then it is really no problem to keep up with the others and even one hundred fifty kilometers per hour is no problem for the city go. the natural gas version uses the well known one leader three cylinder engine which has been specially optimized for operation with natural gas it provides fifty kilowatts when it comes to c o two emissions the city

goji tank shines with only eighty two grams per kilometer. at just under three point six meters in length the city go offers everything you need to feel comfortable mobile phone integration is an optional extra. and only two hundred thirteen leaders the trunk of that she take offers about thirty eight leaders less volume than the guess. saline powered versions. that comes out and says the trunk has quite a bit smaller due to the natural gas tanks but that has no effect on interior space . and even when driving in the city this small dual fuel engine is no worse than it's conventionally powered sibling's. death even says the car is really fun in the city both because it's so small and maneuverable and because the steering wheel responds very well to driver employed

with electronic power steering intervening when needed and changing gears is smooth with short shifting distances. fuel saving measures including automatic start stop and brake energy recovery are standard features of the tech. that let you know sums up by saying if you want to natural gas car then you have to first answer the question of whether you also have a natural gas filling station nearby where she lives in cologne and gone that's no problem she has no complaints about the handling of the city go ga tech and thinks it's really fun the only thing you have to get used to is much more frequent fuel stops using both natural gas and gasoline it's combined ranges only three hundred eighty kilometers so you'll be back at the service station quite often.

this is the toyota collection in cologne germany it's where the japanese carmaker displays classic models from its history there are regular guided tours to learn about specific vehicles today's topic is the twenty fifth anniversary of the rav four. he discovered toyota when he was eighteen and found they were cheaper and more durable than german cars. it's technology for everyone that just works. is good of the adult museum is all about all cars come up and then it's really hands on and you can even see it in them but nothing is roped off. and that also applies to this first generation ram fork from the one nine hundred ninety four it was nicknamed the m cruiser a model named rav four stands for recreational activity called four wheel drive that's probably why the tailgate can be open sideways more than eight point five

million rather wars have been built over five models generations. the second generation went on the market in two thousand it was already much larger than the original s.u.v. and also available as a three or five door for the first time model without four wheel drive was available just like its predecessor the tailgate pope and to the side. these twenty ten third generation model is privately owned unlike the other exhibits its owner in his biracial has a very special connection to toyota. ninety nine you know says she moved from east to west germany in one thousand nine hundred eighty one day she looked out of the window and saw a car standing there it was a big damaged and had

a red sticker on it a warning from the authorities that it was no longer registered duplicated all five of them from arkansas but since i made it top. they usually give us notice the vehicle would soon be towed away and scrapped i mean it's not the car was too nice for that fate and went up the phone and she went on vacation and came back and the car was gone but a few weeks later she met a man and told him the story and he told her to come with him they drove to the city. something and together and he showed her where the car was parked she was surprised to see it and it was his and that turned out to be their first date followed by a second and a third so they're now married with three children and her husband gave her that same car as her wedding present i met a guy that down the aisle to my mind so i thought i'm not i'm just take it as offense taught. and since then amos has been a toyota loyalist even the more futuristic models such as the fourth generation ram

for bill between two thousand and thirteen and two thousand and eighteen have their fans though some die hards who are a little disappointed that the tailgate no longer open to the side but conventionally. the fifth encouraging aeration was unveiled at the new york auto show in two thousand and eighteen and has been available since the beginning of this year. when and some thoughts i have for owner benjamin shmeat says if you drive a car like this you soon realize it's almost like a friend who's there for you every day and if you look at the complete history of what toyota did with this model over the years it's really amazing as can be seen here every vehicle is really a one of a kind in its own way but there's no absolute as i insisted. like this land cruiser . they are just bizarre you know to collections alexander woolcott says a special thing about this land cruiser is it's a model that wasn't sold here in germany so it is relatively rare here and what's

more it's his he's not just the one who leads the tours here he's a toyota free with heart and soul and a land cruiser just keeps on going and since he'd rather drive than fix things he drives a land cruiser and has done so for twenty years he says he had a funny feeling in the middle of this one hundred desert in libya and it was right in the middle of an area where almost nobody ever goes and. nobody has lived for millennia the summit and then he looked around and realized there was nothing within five and six seven hundred kilometers. and then he looked in his car and said that sort of why you brought me to this place that now get me out of here. he says things like that create such a close relationship with a car and its maker playing with this product what a soft and it's a very primal interest in the vehicles of his and pulled the in its dura billet reliability and long gemini i bought it so far as if i did longish but.
