closely. carefully. to the. discover who. subscribe to documentary. welcome to drive it. coming up skoda begins a new era ass electric cars and

a series production. we take a look at the mercedes 2nd generation c l a. toyota supra. says a collaboration between 2 automotive giants. and he's produced the b.m.w. for the toyota supra today he's going to look at the supra and spot the differences between the german and japanese version to see to sports car. with its new supra so he also has revived the legendary name after 70 is the basic recipe is identical to the previous 4th generation model which cease production in 2002 the turbo charged inline 6 cylinder engine real will drive her.

as you noticed right away the super's suspension is choosing to be very firm as you'd expect that makes it a lot of fun to drive on open roads with lots of bends but not really suitable for long distance comfort but then this isn't meant for that it's more of a deal and for that it's just right. and where you could you have more fun a race track on to the set. here the supra really. is not a professional race driver so you can't really test the limits of the super but he says the car is very good even if you drive too fast it's a curve one start to oversteer. of course you can provoke it to do that with its rear wheel drive. keep that on the race track and then. it has no place on public roads. with 250 kilometers of power supply

accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in just 4.3 seconds of. driving on the race track is a lot of fun but most supervise won't be spending a lot of time driving in a place like this so let's head back out to the highway. and active rio differential ensures optimum drive distribution. points out there is currently only one engine for the supra and 3 liters straight 6 which is also found in the top b.m.w. system model the. b.m.w. is also offering smaller ranges and so they might find their way into the supra eventually to push down the starting price. not everyone needs 340 horsepower or 250. currently prices for the super. placed on

a just under 63000 euro's in germany incidentally the b.m.w. z n 4 is available exclusively as a convertible roadster but back to the supra with its extreme piece leaks in a way. the aggressively designed headlamps and large air intakes in the front are a definite head turner and clear statement to any rivals this car is all about power. the 19 inch alloy wheels frame the brake system. the tail lines in the real also have a flat sleek design. the mixture of curved lines and sharp edges makes the look of the supra unique the bubble roof offers more headroom while cutting wind resistance and the charges excessively from the passenger compartment in the interior you can clearly see the b.m.w. touches. that's especially

true for the gear shift or currently the super is available exclusively with an 8 speed automatic transmission. allison i want to show you know manal says both the prize and the technical danger of the b.m.w. said 4 of the tire to super that differ only marginally i think so in the end the choice comes down to which design you prefer and what he want to pay or. skoda has unveiled its 1st electrified production models in bratislava. i.v. is the name of the 1st generation of electric vehicles. to check automaker says it's looking to move towards a more sustainable and carbon neutral future. the city go in the city.

is the brand's 1st fully electric vehicle skoda says it has a range of 265 kilometers with compact dimensions i'm going affordable price of less than $20000.00 euros in germany skoda is hoping it will bring in the buyers and attract new customers to the brand in general. and. skoda is flagship model supro it has also received the ivy treatment making it the brand's 1st plug in hybrid the super has also undergone some visual changes it's now fitted with full every 3 minutes which headlamps and full n.t. tantalize as standard skoda says this is to ensure greater comfort and even more safety.

but the most important innovation is the plug in hybrid drive concept. in your home your island school to see maya says what we have here is a 1.4 liter t.s.i. internal combustion engine it's combined with an e.u. drive which has over 70 kilowatts of power and has a few electric range of 55 kilometers. to gether they deliver an outstanding driving experience. and you can drive on especially electric power all combine it is. the internal combustion engine and the good thing is small together we have a total range of 850 kilometers making it by perfect account of people who have to draw on laws but it's the truth if you follow this but take down before. production of both vehicles is due to begin this summer skoda is also helping to shape the future of immobility by developing its own electric charging stations as well as sustainable recycling concepts further electric models are. in planning by the end

of 2022 skoda plans to launch 30 new cars of which 10 harshly electrified. skoda already offered a 1st glimpse of what these future electric vehicles could look like at the geneva motor show this spring there it showed off its vision i really study and chances are we could see a production vehicle very much like it as early as next year because skoda said the study was already very close to the final design of the production movie. b m w's 3rd generation one series will be headed for showrooms soon but 1st the compact model will only be available with front wheel drive but that means passengers will have a lot more interior space even though the car has almost the same dimensions as the previous model 3 diesel into gasoline engines are available ranging from 95 to

225 kilowatts the world wide market launch is set for september. to celebrate its 100th anniversary since one has unveiled its concept car 1919 the all electric vehicle is inspired by aviation active intelligent suspension is meant to give passengers the feeling of sitting in a living room on wheels they can drive itself on the freeway or in a stop and go traffic ranges staggering 800 kilometers and 600 kilometers can be added in just 20 minutes of recharging. these are monthly that can test the line hold doesn't offer says this must say these bends is pretty long for a new class it's the new c l a coupe play at 4.69 meters it's the same length as a c. class and a 5 cent. meters longer than the b.m.w. 4 series crank. c.l.a.

cooper is extremely important from a sadie's the 1st generation sold more than 750000 vehicles worldwide. so what does the new generation have to offer. the sleek headlights together with a low slung sculpted engine hood immediately give the c.l.a. a sporty appeal. optional multi-beam l.e.d. headlights allow the projection of the light to be electronically adjusted to better suit conditions. the combination of sharply sloping roof line of frameless doors emphasizes the c.l.a. sporting credentials and the slender 2 piece tell lies along with the decision to shift the license plate to the lower bumper make the c.l.a. appear especially wind up back.

with testing the $220.00 d.c. l.a. the 2 liter 4 cylinder engine puts out $140.00 kilowatts of power and sprints runs 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in just over 7 seconds to save you says it uses 4.3 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers in germany prices for the c.l. $820.00 d. started just over $40000.00. the line on sense from the interior you immediately recognized it's a close slimline plaster. turbine look at vets and the chunky steering wires that the panel thinks the optional 10 inch touch screen displays are great in the way it is for us but in his opinion the us in for taman system can be operated with boys. mom's and gestures is not worth the money. if you can operate the

touchscreen with your finger instead you can save yourself several 1000 euros. in the interior everything is in keeping with the high tech design style of widescreen consisting of 2 displays serves as both a virtual dashboard and a control interface for the infotainment system. says sitting in the back it's pretty cramped with the natural cooper means there's not much headroom and with the wide sea pillar passengers a largely obscured from view. the c. class certainly offers more space at the back of the same applies to the trunk which is now even smaller on the new generation u.c.l.a.

. so. another drawback is the high cell of the trunk which makes it difficult to load items. but when it comes to the driving experience the new c.l.a. does disappoint the track is up to 6 centimeters wider at the front and rear compared to its predecessor this along with a low center of gravity definitely makes the c.l.a. the sporty is modeling new generation of mercedes benz compact cars. and if you had really got a 4 door in class with a real has been a winning combination from a sadie's and remain unchanged there's a lack of space in the back seats and a high loading lip on the trunk and a bottom most c.l.a. customers. those who love small the elegance and high tech design are likely to be very happy with the new c.l.a. .

looking at honda's model range the c.r.-v. is the launch of its 2 s.u.v.s and it's also the 1st hybrid s.u.v. but the company has offered a new. deal that they can test that in a speech he says this decorative strip looks like real wood but it's so well my fake it's like a lot of things on this car not what it appears at 1st glance so let's take a closer look in the ad. the c.r.-v. is in its 5th generation as well as the 1.5 liter turbo gasoline version there is also a hybrid model with its very own drive concept. the dimensions are exactly the same said the hybrid also benefits from the longer wheelbase full frame passengers plenty of room.

there is elegant chrome trim all around almost c.r.v. to realize direct chill view from side to the back. unfortunately since the hybrid batteries are located under the trunk floor this version can't be a twit with a 3rd row of seats. one that says there's a lot of different technology under the hood and there's actually it's a gasoline engine an electric motor that works as a generator a 2nd electric motor for propelling a car electrically and the control reaction but the real surprise is the gasoline engine because it doesn't actually propel the car and most of the time it's not directly connected to the wheels that. the. the

gasoline engine and the electric motor interact is the complete opposite of most hybrid drive systems while an electric motor drives the car 135 kilowatts and 315 new meters of maximum talk the combustion engine serves as a pure supplier of the nic tricity in the vast majority of driving situations. incidentally it's a 2 liter 4 cylinder engine this unusual drive system allows the individual components to be able to exploit their efficiency even better. impurely electric traction only the electric accounts those $135.00 kilowatts make the c.r.-v. hybrid a bit more powerful than the purely gasoline version allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers half a 2nd faster on a says the hybrid saves at least one liter of fuel per 100 kilometers as compared to the purely gasoline version then as we head onto the freeway the hybrid drops out of electric mode for

a brief moment it's. one of the out of it and says that's because driving between 80 and 100 kilometers an hour is the only time when the gasoline engine transfers the power direct after the wheels at these speeds it's the most efficient way to power the car and of that then back off a lot of that's. using 3 different driving modes t.v. economy and sport the driver can influence the system choosing whether it's purely electric especially economical almost totally what then happens under the hood is interceptable to the driver intelligent control software decides what to do completely thomas lee for that i'm him he says in keeping with the c.r.-v. is very different drive it has no shift lever in the traditional sense that instead you press a button to choose the direction of travel. you don't hear you press to engage drive mode and up here. fall down on the switch to reverse.

a reversing camera assist the driver in maneuvering. the interior of the c.r.-v. looks modern i'm that even in the hybrid version a simple and clear restructure. a digital dashboard gives the driver an overview of the power flow indicating the vehicles concepts of power all 5 seats are comfortable and has plenty of room making the cabin feel generous and airy. thinks the seat of a hybrid is for people who are willing to try new technology and new ways of doing c s i and we want to let the technology work. and you might find an electric car

when it's constant and charging too much trouble and. the c.r.-v. is so easy to handle with technology that the driver really doesn't have to think about it. and it feels like a normal and i get conventionally powered vehicle but not found the way in canada and that's not. the c.r.-v. hybrid in germany cost $3800.00 euros moon in the normal gasoline version both models come with a choice of outfront we'll drop. today our test drive the cost of borrowing is taking an unusual brazilian best seller for a spin the v.w. brasilia built in 1900 in the fifty's brazil became one of the dummies most important markets back then the german company only offered 2 models the beat. and

the classic van even so it's head north gained access to global markets helping turn phones fog and into the european carmaker with the highest turnover. in the audi lots let the history of you don't know in brazil in 1053 it opened its 1st foreign plants in brazil and at 1st they built the beetle that book about which would remain the most popular car in brazil for decades so popular even got its own nickname for skyler doctors it's not that the classic v.w. bus also took south america by strong in the late 1960 s. all of it in the head of w. in brazil and later chairman of the company began initiating new tailored models of course the fundamental clapped for the ford on the stock who don't beat through. the. platform frame and separate body technology that was both

simple and robust made the practically indestructible v.w. the perfect starting point for developing new models. although the way the beatles constructed it was already outdated by the 1970 s. the underlying concept would remain vibrant for years to come. the i was put here crystal says very clear demands would be made on the new brazilian v.w. it would have to be practical more efficient and more spacious than the beetle and . it said that after 40 different prototypes the engineers put together a kind mirror combining all the best features of the $660.00 motors from the beetle board and the floor segments from the common good with a station wagon style body from the v.w. toy to 3 mounted on top by 4 fords the series was launched its 973 and was named after the country's capital brasilia opposite but as chris. things this one is in

especially good shape as much as if someone left the plastic wrapping on that monkey just left the factory in boise to get a 4 legged part but that's it although they have a lot of c. up. and 1st the v.w. brasilia was also available with $5.00 for tax purposes the fast bike model was initially marketed as a small delivery van bit by bit the new station wagon grew in popularity across the concept of the community with the cost of notice is that the combined rear engine and drive make the brazilian any on the stable speeds up and considering it wasn't easy to reach the cars top speed of 138 kilometers an hour on brazil's notorious i was that's no big deal when they say. mass e.m.p. and gusto it was the one who came up with the brazilian is somewhat peculiar design he apparently was inspired by variants evolve spokes type 3 and 4 station wagon models appropriately called variant these 2 had

a modern and spacious 2 box frame that wasn't self-supporting but mounted just like the beetle. to save it from the ravages of time the previous owner did indeed wrap the interior in plastic not very attractive but effective. in the. committee signed mcchrystal says the general idea behind a fastback is to provide more congress a place in my loading museum but with the brazilian that's not really the case the lot of the loading seal is extremely high and there's hardly any spies you know the trunk but that's because the engine is right below. the loft it's a 5050 horsepower and cooled 4 cyl in the box engine of 1.6 liters displacement or thought of course in good old beetle style it's not flat but how project. huge fans

and that takes up room that cost at last i'll. lead. the v.w. brasilia is certainly not a perfect car owners often complained it had serious rust issues legend has it even like collisions could cause rusty fuel catalyst to drop out making passengers with them. lots of class race despite its defects crystal says roughly a 1000000 v.w. brazilians were manufactured and sold in brazil over 10 years. they were also made in mexico and nigeria was christened as i got lucky and even if the brazilian was always something i was rolling in that prison could even get it with

a $1.00 ethanol go to the us the end of its production line. ethanol is a frequent alternative to gasoline and brazil today most brazilian vehicles have so-called total flex engines that can handle any mixture of the 2 fuels we've got us of russia. in europe the v.w. brasilia has remained a rarity only a few of them can be found in portugal in the canary islands. if i'll be able in many ways crystal thinks the v.w. brasilia can be considered the final stage of evolution of the beetle concept from the 1930 s. in that sense he says it's a milestone car history. but it's pretty says that outlived it while the read of your. was it was discontinued in 182 the people continued to be manufactured in

brazil until 9096 it was succeeded by the south american tank on the gulf which remains the most likely sunk car on the continent to this day. the boy . next time on drive it we test the new kupang version of the porsche cayenne. plough through the juice with the ranger wrapped up.
