why aren't people more concerned. if. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word published in the book. is in germany to learn german why not with a simple line on your mobile and free. d w z e learning course. german made easy. welcome to drive it into magazine coming up skoda means a new era has electric cars and a series production. we take a look at say the 2nd generation c l e. toyotas supra.

tester and model shaffer says a collaboration between 2 automotive giants. japanese produce the b.m.w. set for the toyotas. today he's going to look at the supra and spot the differences between the german and japanese version 2 seater sports car. with its new supra so to has revived the legendary name after 17 years 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 long coat. as you notice right away the supra suspension is choosing to be very firm as you'd expect that makes it a lot of fun to drive on roads with lotsa. but not really suitable for long

distance comfort but then this isn't meant for that it's more of a fun and for that it's just right. and where could you have more fun. track on to the. dreaded yeah. really extra. minutes he's not a professional race driver so you can't really test the limits of the soup but he says the car is very good natured even if you drive too fast it's a one stop to oversteer. of course you can provoke it to do that with its rear wheel drive. the race track and then on the occasion it has no place on public roads. with 250 kilometers of power the supra 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 of us 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 a 3 liter straight 6 which is also found in the top version of b.m.w. system model the m 40 i said for 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. after all not everyone needs 340 horsepower or 250 kilowatts. currently prices for the super cool place start at just under 63000 euros in germany incidentally the b.m.w. sent 4 is available exclusively as a convertible roadster. so the supra with its extremely sleek slow 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 winds and the real also have a flash 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 accessible from the passenger compartment in the interior you can clearly see the b.m.w. touches. that's especially true for the gearshift currently the super is available exclusively with an 8 speed

automatic transmission. allison i want to show you the men'll says both the price and the technical danger of the b.m.w. said $4.00 of the tire to a supra that differ only marginally so in the end and the choice comes down to which design you prefer i might he want to order stuff. skoda has unveiled its 1st electrified production models in bratislava. i.v. is the name of the 1st generation of electric vehicles. the czech automaker says it's looking to move towards a more sustainable and carbon neutral future. the city go in the city car is the brand's 1st fully electric vehicle skoda says it has a range of 265 kilometers with compact dimensions and an awful. price of less than

$20000.00 euros in germany skoda is hoping it bring in the buyers and to try new customers to the brand in general. skoda is fly ship model sue has also received the ivy treatment making it the brand's 1st plug in hybrid the super has also undergone some visual changes and it's now fitted with full any green miniatures headlamps and fool anybody tell lies as standard skoda says this is to ensure greater comfort and even more safety on the road. but the most important innovation is the plug in hybrid drive concept. in your home your island school to see my ass is what we have here is a one point fully to t.s.i.

internal combustion engine it's combined with the drive which has over 70 kilowatts of power and has a few electric range of 55 kilometers. to the other they deliver an outstanding driving experience i'm jus contrivance for purely electric power all combined just purely with the little combustion engine and the good thing is together we have a total range of 850 kilometers they can get by perfect accounts of people who have to draw at a loss what is the truth if you follow this perfect angle. 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 also in planning by the end of 2022 skoda plans to launch 30 new cars of which 10 will be partially or fully electrified. skoda already offered

a 1st glimpse of what these future electric vehicles could look like at the geneva motor show the spring there it showed off its vision i really study and chances are we could see a production vehicle very much like it but 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 showroom soon but 1st the compaq 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 85 to 225 kilowatts the world wide market launch is set for september.

to celebrate its 100th anniversary since one has unveiled its concept car 99 team 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 it can drive itself on the freeway or in stop and go traffic the range is staggering 800 kilometers and 600 kilometers can be added in just 20 minutes of recharging. these are monthly that can test the line all doesn't offer says this myth saves benz's 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 5 centimeters longer than the b.m.w. 4 series grand. c.l.a. cooper is extremely important from a sadie's the 1st generation sold more than 753. 1000 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 the conditions. the combination of sharply sloping roof line and friendless doors emphasizes the c.l.a. sporting credentials and a 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 why in the back. we're testing this to 20 d.c. l.a. the 2 liter 4 cylinder engine puts out $140.00 kilowatts of power and sprints rims

0 to 100 kilometers an hour in just over 7 seconds or so you says it uses 4.3 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers in germany prices for the c l a t 20 started just over $40000.00 troops. by nonsense from the interior you immediately recognize it's a close i was a slimline cluster. turbine look air vents and the chunky steering wires of the final things the optional 10 inch touchscreen displays are great in the way it works but in his opinion m b u x m for taman system can be operated voice commands and gestures is not worth the money. if you can operate the touchscreen with your finger instead you can save yourself several 1000 euros come to.

in the interior everything is in keeping with the high tech design style the widescreen consisting of 2 displays serves as both a virtual dashboard and a control interface for the infotainment system. hitting it doesn't say is sitting in the back it's pretty cramped with the natural cooper means there's not much headroom and with the wind seem passengers and largely obscured from view. the c. class certainly offers more space at the back the same applies to the trunk which is now even smaller on the new generation c.l.a. . so. another drawback is a high sale of the trunk which makes it difficult to load items. but when it comes

to the driving experience of the new c.l.a. does disappoint the track is up to 6 centimeters wider at the front and rear compared to his predecessor this along with a low center of gravity definitely makes the c.l.a. the sporty as model of new generation of my say these bets compact cars. and if you have to really go for doing a class with a real has been a winning combination for mercedes and remain unchanged there's a lack of space in the back seats and a high loading lid on the trunk own kind of ball the most c.l.a. customers. those who love small d. 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.

the company has offered in your. contacts to in his poetry says this decorative strip looks like real wood but it's so well my fake it's like a lot of things in this car not what it appears at 1st glance so let's take a closer look in the ad. is in its 5th generation as well as the 1.5 liter turbo gasoline version there is also a bridge model with its very own drive concept. the dimensions are exactly the same said the hybrid also benefits from the longer wheelbase for 3 passengers plenty of room. there is elegant chrome trim all around on the c.r.-v. reallife 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 twitter 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 the 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. the way the gasoline engine and the electric motor interact is the complete opposite of most hybrid drive systems while an electric motor drives the car the high. 35 kilowatts and 350 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 legs a 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 light accounts those 125 kilowatts make the c.r.-v. hybrid a bit more powerful than the purely gasoline version allowing you to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers half a 2nd faster palmer says the hybrid saves at least one liter of fuel per 100 kilometers as compared to the purely gasoline version then as we head on to the freeway the hybrid drops out of the electric mode for a brief moments. of doubt it is 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 rails at the speeds it's the most efficient way to power the car and of that then back off a lot of. using 3 different driving modes t.v. economy and a sport the driver can influence the system choosing whether it's purely electric especially economical or more. what then happens under the hood is interceptable to the driver the intelligent control software decides what to do completely honestly for that i'm going to says in keeping with the c.r.-v. is very different dr how deceptive 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 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 even in the hybrid version a simple and clearly structured. digital dashboard gives the driver an overview of the power flow indicating the vehicles consuls of power all 5 seats are comfortable and has plenty of room making the cabin feel generous and airy. in his 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 frank who want to let the technology work. and you might find an electric car when it's constant and charging too much trouble and let. the c.r.-v. is so easy to handle with this 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. the c.r.-v. hybrid in germany cost $3800.00 euros moon in the normal gasoline version both models come with a choice of front wheel drive. today our test driver christophe berra 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 beetle and the classic van even so its head north gained access to global markets helping turn phones fog and into the european comic. the highest turnout of.

any adults let the history if you don't even brazil in 1953 when it's 1st foreign plants in brazil at 1st they built the beetle that book about which would remain the most popular car in brazil for decades yet so popular even if it's a nickname for scotland offers it's not. the classic v.w. bus also took south america by storm by the late 1960 s. will of then head of brazil and later chairman of the company began initiating new tailored models of course the fundamental clapped for the ford on the stock could all be truly dead who to hire. its 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. down to push 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 visit with the station wagon style body from the v.w. toy 3 mounted on top for ford the series was launched its 973 and was named after the country's capital brasilia the opposite christophe things this one is it especially good shape is the most as if someone left the plastic wrapping on the market just left the factory to safety before they could park. but that's good

although they have a lot of. and 1st the b.w. brasilia was also available with $5.00 for tax purposes the fastback 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 christoph notices that a combined rear engine and drive make the brasilia family on the stable at 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 and it's a. custom he was the one who came up with the brazilian is somewhat peculiar design he apparently was inspired by variants evolve spuds type 3 and 4 station wagon models appropriately called variant these 2 had a modern 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. comedy side mcchrystal says the general idea behind the fast back is to provide more cargo space in my loading easier but with a brazilian that's not really the case the logic and loading seal is extremely high and there's hardly any surprise in the trunk but that's because the engine is right below. the. it's a 50 for almost 4 cyl in the box engine and 1.6 liters displacement without of course in the good old beetle style it's not flat but upright with huge fans and that takes up room that cost at the last hour. led.

the v.w. brasilia is certainly not a perfect car owners often complained it had serious rust issues legend has it even like collisions who calls rusty fuel cars to drop out thanking passengers with them . thoughts classification 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 where the cop was christened i got lucky and even if the brazilian was always something of our rolling anachronism. we will get it with a $1.00 ethanol go towards the end of its production line and the.

ethanol is a frequent alternative to gasoline in brazil today most brazilian vehicles have so-called total flex engines that can handle any mixture of the 2 fuels we've got some ratio. in europe the v.w. brasilia has remained a rarity only a few of them can be found in portugal in the canary islands. there shall be able in many ways christophe thinks the v.w. brazilian 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. was discontinued in 1902 the beetle continued to be manufactured in brazil until now. 196 it was succeeded by the south american tank on the gulf which remains the

most widely some calm the continent to this day. the but. next time on drive it we test the new plane version of the porsche kayak. plough through the juice like the ranger wrapped up.
