we'll have lots of fun with a fantastic meals a good. forty five minutes of. this you know i mean in human noticing what i have put up on with it that what i'm focused on in the sort of what i'm or what a book and i said i know what is it them and. if it's as if to say i say quote i've only said that i caught it on what they're finding. hello and welcome to drive with and even motor magazine this week a trade fair for tomorrow's technology points to the future of mobility a compact s.u.v. they really can't go off roading this go to caracas scout and b.m.w.

is due luxury s.u.v. the x seven. exactly twenty years ago b.m.w. launched its s.u.v. series with the ex-wife now the seventh and largest model in the family is hitting the streets the german car maker claims the x. seven combines excellent off road performance and handling with all the creature comforts it's assembled in spartanburg in the us state of south carolina. doesn't get our car test of a whole dyson over says would strike you instantly about the x. seven is his enormous grill and sheer size overall it's over five meters long two meters wide and one point eight meters tall that makes it a full size s.u.v. by american standards and the same class as the cadillac escalate or the mercedes benz g.l.'s nobody in germany would want to vehicle besides it's not. lots of

customers want them in the u.s. and china he says or at least b.m.w. hopes out of this maybe. three x. seven is built on the x five platform but none of the parts of the x. files body are used in the new model a single glance shows why that's no surprise the x. seven leaves a much runny or more opulent more imposing impression see visits as i'd hoped says seven seen ciro well and good good what's key is getting into and out of a car like this it hash to be easy would more compact s.u.v.s that sometimes awful but it's no problem with the x. seven and the seats in the back can be adjusted electrically another good thing he says is that even tall people have plenty of leg room in back. of oxen to mention their plots. a gear shift made of glass is just one example of a lecture e on display in the x. seven centurion or. there's also plenty of soft weather and high end

wood trim and passengers really have room to stretch out. for the second row of seats customers can choose between a standard bench or two captains chairs. the x. seven is twenty five centimeters longer than the x. five says reinhold which means there's enough room for a third row seats but if you're carting around seven passengers as you won't have much space left over for baggage when there are only five in the car on the other hand there's loads of room he says especially when all the rear seats are lowered if you're doing that frees up to two thousand one hundred liters of cargo space on . the island of leeds up call the moment.

and sure many x. seven customers can choose between three different engines i know it is testing the gasoline powered x. drive forty i although the s.u.v. tips the scales at two point four tons it's able to hit a hundred kilometers an hour from a standstill in just over six seconds but the model is a dinosaur when it comes to fuel efficiency and burns through at least nine leaders for every hundred kilometers on the road yank seven comes standard with a twin axle air suspension and not a magic sofa leveling system that ensures top notch control and comfort even on challenging terrain what if so how does it drive s reinhold well it says add child as its little brother the x. five x. down to his great chassis and toward vectoring to each individual wheel as well as the rear axle steering he suggests taking the trim line that includes the panorama sunroof because it lets you simulate a starry sky at night it's almost like being in

a rolls royce he says. there's a nice control panel for the four zone climate control system and the seats offer a range of massage options. and sevens interior features are based on those in the x five drivers can use the central console to choose driving modes from sporty to comfortable offloading programs are optional i know says the x. seven is proof that b.m.w. can also do a full size car though it's a little too full sized for german streets and parking garages but he thinks there are markets where it will prove popular the americans and chinese love big s.u.v.s or c.d.'s so those fifty thousand units of its g.l. as annually and b.m.w. wants a slice of that pie he says the model ought to offer two other variants a twelve cylinder option. in

a plug in hybrid but so far the car maker isn't planning to make either lock in here but it's a buy to sink this long. and sure many prices for the luxury s.u.v. started just over eighty four thousand euros the big question is whether the concept has lakes because another trend has been gaining momentum among consumers for years a growing concern about climate change. and about a journalist he meant o'shea for says the mobile world congress in barcelona is the industry's most important trade fair not just for mobile communications but also for mobility and that's why not only manufacturers of smart phones but also why the likes of b.m.w. and say that show up at the so it's time to take a look at. the fare has been held since one thousand nine hundred eighty seven and initially in london the host city has changed several times since then it's set to

be held in barcelona until at least two thousand and twenty three. seance slogan this year is the urban beat journalists from all over the world attend the press conference at the spanish carmakers booth. and this is what they're waiting for the mini mo the concept car is intended above all for fleet customers and car sharing providers. i wish to get in monaco says a big topic here is micro mobility covering distances a less than ten kilometers say it's come up with a mini mo for that like others in the segment it's battery powered but it has a big advantage you can swap out batteries so no more long waits and charging stations. the empty battery pack can. then be recharged at

a charging station while you're driving around in the mini mo it has room for two people and can recognize and adapt to the driver for example for sixteen year olds the maximum speed can be limited to forty five kilometers per hour and stead of ninety with a length of two point five meters and with that one point two meters the mini occupies just three point one square metres of space much less than most cars but there's much more to see at the fair. one time payment will find very interesting are these little displaced they're also interesting for car manufacturers because they open up new possibilities they no longer have to work with the splays that are flat or slightly curved but can adapt them to surfaces as needed. in the future even sharp edges can be used as a display which means a lot of flexibility for interior design. i vy manoa says another important topic of the show is five g.

the next gen mobile data transmission with the download speeds up to twenty gigabytes per second it's way faster than the current four g. or l.t.e. that's important for the car sector because of autonomy is driving where a lot of data has to be transferred from a car to the transmission tower or between cars and so a new standard is needed and that's five g. he says. it also increases transmission speed so cars can exchange information as quickly as possible with each other. i think of that none of us says the fair doesn't just offer visions of the future but also mobility solutions that are already available like this say x. as kick scooter it's electric has a twenty five kilometer range and can hit twenty five kilometers per hour imagine leaving home taking the scooter to the train station and then with you onto the train and scootering. from the train to your workplace you don't need a car or

a parking space so it's easy the fear provides a taste of the many new forms mobility will take in the future. says go to caracas been out on the market since mid twenty's seventeen by the end of last year one hundred twenty two thousand of them had ruled out the czech car makers assembly lines now there's a tone deaf person of the compact crossover s.u.v. a correct scout scooter says it handles even better on rough terrain and thinks it will draw fans looking for transport to more remote locations and the great outdoors when we studied the contest the jambo house says s.u.v.s are supposed to be sporty off roaders which means this special off road trim package somehow seems so little redundant nowadays most two wheel drive lifestyle as you use can barely climb up on the curb when you're parking he says so maybe they're correct scout

actually does make a kind of sense if it really can deal with off road terrain that's what he's going to find out today that's both and yet that's one of. the boasts that the correct scout really is built to deal with the rugged terrain is underlined by a range of alterations new underbody protection now shields the engine from being bashed out in the field striking wheel arch linings and special skirting provide extra protection from any stones and gravel thrown up along the way the trunk offers five hundred twenty leaders of cargo space lowering their rear seats expands that to one thousand six hundred thirty leaders. and up that's going on gun says the view from the driver's seat is nice and high typical for s.u.v.s and visibility up front is good steering is light and direct and suspension is more comfortable. stiff but it's different if they keep the scout from listing in

careers all in all it makes a good impression. to engines earn an offer for the model a two liter diesel or a one point five liter gasoline powered version but with put out one hundred ten kilowatts a power the scout takes nine point three seconds to go from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour. the bare bones version concer own thirty six thousand euros younes test car with wants of extras would go for over forty seven thousand five hundred euros and i have a gun says all wheel drive is standard for the model which is only right in a car supposedly made for off roading but it only kicks in when the front wheels start losing traction otherwise the scout runs on front wheel drive to save fuel when off road mode is turned on he says the car react more slowly when he hits the gas and off roading is just programs are activated that help you keep control going down the steeper slopes that are fence might at best africa. with all those bells

and whistles the correct scout does well on dirt roads but constantly calculating optimal torque distribution to both actuals the cars drive control unit ensures good traction and control at any given moment the scout has higher ground clearance and the standard garage and his series package includes a suspension optimized for. young likes the wood trim inside although he generally isn't a fan of it but combined with discounts exclusive seat upholstery and brown tones it compliments the rush to go outdoors the look because it's the whole thing. but if you want things a little more height. thank inside you'll have to pay for it.

though the standard package does include a nine inch infotainment display and adjustable ambient lights and lets you alter the lighting scheme in the interior to suit your own taste and it's a nice touch in combination with the scouts brown seats. let's come up at the end of the day he says youn the scout isn't really a true off roader or a mountain climber and its interior is too nice for that and the hard plastic cladding would be able to withstand serious pelting with stones for long but whether it's standard four wheel drive and rough terrain package it might be an alternative for someone who drives a lot on unpaved roads. that's

faced in the market for a mid-range station wagon is competitive says car tester on the left stack because there's a choice for every budget whether it's expensive models like the a four avant practical ones like what's going to suburban or all rounders like the v.w. posada not forget the ford mondeo or opel insignia the key optima is joining a crowded field he wants to find out what the sporty korean wagon does better than the competition and what not so much. here has recently revamped the optima sports wagon and the most important improvements can be found under the hood available engines already comply with the euro sixty tempi emissions standards which will become binding on all new cars sold from september onwards among them are two new one point six liter power plants a one hundred kilo line diesel and imagine he cannot. mccoll one hundred thirty two

kilowatt turbo gasoline engine they run each testing the diesel engine and the top gear g.t. line trim. delta muff ronnie says the optima dries very comfortably and above all quietly over long distances what sets it apart is it's look it's typical kiya but by no means typical for a mid-sized car. the facelift is most noticeable on the modified front bumper and redesigned headlamps fog lights and only the daytime running lights the design of the eighteen inch alloy wheels has also been refreshed this sporty or g.t. and chichi line trim lines feature black glossy exterior mirrors doorsill and side air intakes. besides twin tailpipes a highlight of the rear is the sleek tail lights. the

g.t. line also has an electric tailgate the vehicle recognizes when the driver is waiting at the rear of the vehicle and the tailgate opens after beeping three times the luggage space in the rear is a generous five hundred fifty two leaders which expands to one thousand six hundred eighty six liters with the rear seats folded in on. the g.t. line interior combined sportiness with luxury is comfort the quality of workmanship is high and there's no reason for kiev to shy away from a comparison with european competitors. ran. seems on the leather seats emphasized the cars sporty flair.

the new one hundred kilowatt one point six leader diesel with three hundred twenty nude meters of short replaces the previous one point seven leader c r d i it meets the euro sixty temps standard thanks to s.c.r. exhaust aftertreatment the key it takes eleven point eight seconds to go from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour and as a top speed of one hundred ninety three in germany the optimist sports wagon with g.t. line trim starts in just over thirty nine thousand euro's. decide forget ronnie says the automatic transmission changes gears smoothly the one hundred kilowatt one point six liter turbo diesel does what it's supposed to do he says but compared to competing models it lacks some liveliness responsiveness and pulling power but it's fuel efficient and burns

a maximum of six liters per one hundred kilometers. and keeping with its dynamic appearance the new up to most sports wagon suspension provides agile handling and especially stable front suspension and the cars the fish and multi link weird concept in short i ride comfort and little engine noise to kill me sums up by saying this key is the perfect companion for those who can live without the prestige value of a luxury brand and are mostly interested in practicability economy and especially value for money. the entry level up to most sports wagon is already available in germany for just under twenty six and a half thousand your ass. in the early one nine hundred sixty see europe was experiencing a baby boom renault boss p.r. drive was. responded with the development of a radically new interior design for

a midsize car. a misleading car just a kristoff power recalls what dr has announced to his team you've got to see things in a new light a car cannot always consist of four seat selfhood in a trunk we've got to see it as a single space but the result was the one thousand nine hundred sixty one renault are for a revolutionary and innovative compact car and in one nine hundred sixty five renault launched the our sixteen a mid-size family car with a hatchback a large trunk lid and flexible interior and tina fey to defy me to clutch it. during the design process the engineers had almost total freedom the only requirement was a front wheel drive and just four years the newly established design department progressed from a prototype to a production model are sixteen and build a new production facility is underway. in france.

yes the port of crystal says when they are sixteen was launched the media were impressed that they praised the cars a benchmark and symbol of practicality and held it up as a challenge to german engineering even today the car is still a smooth and comfortable right granted that it's steering is a bit squishy and going around curves can be nerve wracking but overall this is a great set of wheels he's done but it wasn't johnson and what about us guys if it . and so the renault are sixteen became an international hit initially sales figures doubled year by year by nine hundred seventy two seven years later renault had sold over one million are sixteenths. renault kept producing the car until one nine hundred eighty continually developing new versions including a luxury t.x. model with around seventy kilowatts a leg. windows and five speed manual transmission. as open monte cristo says

the are sixteen has the unique design of the two box design is a particular feature that it broke with a conventional design at the time where vehicles were divided into three boxes and the engine in front of the passenger compartment off and the trunk and back in contrast the are sixteen fused the passenger in trunk space allowing for a flexible interior when up to seven different variations and that's at if what i have is that i have become to flexible to take this in the homes just so it is even vance when smokers cut isn't that it. was it there's the normal position for when you're just driving coals and the position for transporting large items to the back seat can be folded away entirely and. then there's you who says you don't want to relax and spawn should. want as well as the position for sleeping and cuddling.

back then there are no sixteen had one of the most spacious and comfortable interiors of any mid seventies car neat features like the continuous ventilation grill and a classy ashtray expressed a typically french charm. another clever feature metal rails along the flared pagoda roof they provide stability and function as roll bars oddly the torsion bar suspensions were installed one behind the other making the wheel base six centimeters longer on the left side than on the right. and that is a mortal current tester christo says and there we find have a spare tire as well as a redesigned one point five liter four cylinder engine with forty kilowatts made from the engine block cylinder head and gears are made for. i'm

a lightweight aluminum alloy is good to achieve better balance the gears are located ahead of the front axle of the engine sits behind more typical of modern sports cars so the renault was actually ahead of its time because there's often committed more talk to off north by more downspout talking football to my boss and outside of disinfo house. and this raspy had a lot exeunt is quite in chanting. that is safe tonight crystal feels the our sixteen stands for the famous french lifestyle a bit eccentric but very likeable and easy going road bumps like he thought a public wouldn't get the other sixteen suspension smoosh them right over to lazy to change gears you can go forty kilometers per hour or faster in just third or fourth gear and the seats are as soft as a sofa. come for a top with a suitable. overall

a pretty relaxing right now. we are sixteen really lives up to reno's old cars for life slogan it can be customized according to every owner special wishes until this day renault has a reputation for building great family cars. but who knows i throw stuff reckons renault built the right car at the right time it was produced for fifteen years from the mid one nine hundred sixty s. until one nine hundred eighty s. and impressive record as the first midsize sedan hatchback with a large trunk lid and flexible interior it set the standard for midsize sedan as such the are sixteen is a milestone an automotive engineering and maya style the automobile shifted. overall one point eight million are sixteen's were built but very few models are still in good condition today owners took renault's slogan quite literally and drove their cars art. few are sixteen's were sent in for repairs or to the car wash

as a result many gradually wore out over time. and next time i'm driving athletic and practical as she had leon cooper as team. and stronger we should and roomy we trashed the peugeot five thousand eight.
