protect the climate green energy solutions and reforestation. they create interactive content teaching the next generation about environmental protection and was determined to build something here for the next generation global ideas the multimedia environment series on t.w. . oh and welcome to drive with the motor magazine on the w. this week only available as a hybrid the lexus p s midsize sedan and his story tour of see s.u.v. model. and a new variant on an old classic the v.w. passat.

the v.w. perseid is the most successful mid-size in the world more than 30000000 of them have been sold since it was introduced in 1973 be a 1st generation of the model has been given a facelift and is ready for launch the only problem says our car to so young but here is that some would say little or nothing has changed and when it comes to the exterior be right and changes are under the hood and the new push side is the 1st car to carry the latest generation m i b 3 modular infotainment and the 1st with v.w. is traveling so in the catchwords are always on updates over the year connected services activated and partially automated driving the young ones did try it out in these and then a. beam me up. the range of technical changes may be why but the facade slow case changed a little. up front the face lifted very slightly. and

a pair of redesigned headlights. and back. has been moved to the middle of the. trim has also been reworked as have the tail lights. young says the percentage can't beat him up yet but the interior is packed with digital bells and whistles that kind of assurance will instantly notice the analog clock is gone and doesn't fit in the bright new digital world but yet is focusing on the mit 3 every precise now comes equipped with a sim card so the car is always online and that brings a whole range of advantages the car's system can be updated wirelessly like a smartphone and the vehicle can also receive traffic updates in real time speech recognition is intuitive so you don't have to use standardized commands but can

just talk to the car. he demonstrates telling the person that he's hungry and it replies by providing a list of restaurants in the area and asking him to choose one young decides it's time for a quick bite. although the modular infotainment system is new the v.w. engineers didn't touch the cockpit's fundamental structure customers do however now have a wider range of a post tree and trim colors to choose from. along with the m i b 3 b. w. has also done a lot to its collection of dr vs systems which are now consolidated under the name i.q. drive a new app is the travel this is system which allows level to other maybe driving a fully autonomy's car where passengers don't have to do

a thing but sit back and relax would be classified as level 5. like beaming says yeah but that's still quite a way down the road a new push has level 2 autonomy the system can take over steering but the driver still responsible for what the car does and is required to monitor. and the system and take control when necessary the travel has this system is activated via a button on the steering wheel after pressing it the percent begins following the lane and automatically braking when traffic is approaching a speed limit change or an intersection or action is coming up says he afterwards it accelerates again to an appropriate speed. the system has a speed range of 0 to 210 kilometers an hour and works on highways and country roads all the car uses radar to measure distances and cameras to track lane

markings the travel assist also has access to navigational data and road sign david as a counterweight so control strategy. it works fine as long as the capacity of steering senses the driver's hands on the wheel. and as it's been hit my own says that he's someone who easily gets enthusiastic about technical developments and the system functions very well but he also likes driving himself and has to admit that in the course of the day when he turned on the travel assist system he was much more tense than when he was in control that's because you have to keep an eye on the system all the time he says and. even by my best this team you know. most wagon has also worked over the adaptive suspension system and shock absorbers along with the standard comfort normal in sports settings you can no fine tune the driving experience by choosing from

a range of 15 intermediate sending. folks talking about john says volkswagen has never been a pioneer when it comes to installing new technology in his come. cars other manufactures adopt it more quickly but when we w. does install it he says i and the systems will generally function very well in our intuitive to use and that's the case with the new plays out as well which has now caught up with the times with the addition of the mit 3 and travel this this is stops. this is the b.m.w. 430 i converted the bavarian car maker launched the 4 series in 2013 as a successor to the more luxurious 3 series and it's been

a resounding success more than 400000 of them have been sold worldwide since now alongside the coupe a and brand can pay models the convertible is meant to draw even more customers to a brand known for its good handling but it also weighs 225 kilograms more than its cousins will it live up to the image. of a car to stimulus couple says that despite its 1900 kilograms the convertible is quite sporty you notice the extra weight in curves of course but it doesn't particularly bother him. the convertible resembles the rest of the series closely though it has been given l e v twin headlights and fog lights on the front skirting has also been all.

the models one good makes the b.m.w. look both dynamic and elegant and the snapper rocks blue paint job on this car makes it even snazzier though buyers would have to shell out the $100.00 euros for the extra standard for the lecture line include chrome highlights on the body which give the $430.00. i find when jury is free if b.m.w. is hallmarked l. shaped l e d taillights complete the picture in fact. it takes at least 20 seconds to open or close the section to our top roof.

thanks to the reworked improved variable sports steering the b.m.w. takes corners and curves of the greatest a nice. size to do a sound check. for the 2 leader 4 cylinder twin turbo engine puts out $185.00 kilowatts of power and tops out at $350.00 newton metres of torque it can hit 100 kilometers an hour from a standstill and 6.3 seconds it's top speed is 250 kilometers an hour. but lewis is impressed by the sound design behind the 4 cylinder engine and he

thinks it will appeal to people who like sports cars one disadvantage of fooling hard tops compared to soft tops is the added weight opening and closing one also takes longer and in the 4th 30 i.e. you can't be moving faster than 18 kilometers an hour and with the top down cargo volume in the convertibles already small. trunk drops even further from 370 leaders to 220 that's a reason why b.m.w. will probably opt for a soft top again in the models next generation. optics luis's the $430.00 i has convinced him and that it bridges the gap between sportiness in comfort and feel safe in the curves even when you push it he says but it's an experience you'll have to pay for. the 430 i convertible started selling at 60000 euros in germany and the cheapest version

before 20 guy is just 10000 less. the 7th generation alexis c.s. has been out since the spring of 2018 this stylish japanese midsize sedan is a familiar sight in many parts of the world it's a bit more rare in europe where it only debuted in 2019 to compete with the audi a 6 b.m.w.'s 5 series and the mercedes e. class but only the hybrid version is available here. the funky what interest card testing is patriot about the newcomers for one the design but also what's new about the technology that she starts on the outside of. a grip on the door handle unlocks it without

a key the right touch in the right place watch it again. has a lot to ina's that's consistent with top of the line much. inside vs is neatly arranged controls seem fairly straightforward with a sleek less is more design. the finally word to lou and i'm trim running around the interior was inspired by traditional japanese swords the engine starts at the press of a but. very little can be seen of its hybrid character aside from the green ready light that indicates all systems are go in the car. my car was amos calls up a screen on the $12.00 inch multifunction display that shows each individual

component as well as the energy flow past it. ok the i'm still she can select the various menu items on this touch sensitive trackpad the cursor not only jumps to the next item on its own but gives both audible and happy core tangible feedback i want she says that's cool but if you have to enter a long street name you have to drag the cursor all over the place to pick out each letter. like siskins the $300.00 each its latest generation hybrid drive it combines a new 2 and a half meter gasoline engine with a more compact yes more powerful electric motor new transmission and

a new battery the whole system together puts out $160.00 kilowatts new hybrid system controller delivers a more even acceleration much like with a conventional engine short stretches can be covered at low speed some all electric drive. i just proof it's out of another fee chain is described as me cool is the push button change of alignment over the central digital trail and move it to the right to make a little more space to the left eye that's very convenient when you want to see displays for the drivers insists they appear to the left of a dial. that is not of actually in his had already seen this feature in the r.c.f. but here it's another touch of 1st class lecture from. the dynamic radar cruise control in tandem with the lane keeping assist make for a nearly out of me to driver support the car just sit speed to the vehicle

immediately ahead even figuring in a sudden stop and independent accelerations little timidly. how the vehicle remains with the driver. moving back outside d.e.'s the contour seemed to flow back from the groom across the car above and below the l.e.d. headlights wrap around to the sides and blend in but seamlessly with the body shape . the newly yes as 5 centimeters to the wheel base the roofline teper soft to the rear like on a coupe paying the badly designed to require facts the space inside there's plenty of leg room but taller occupants might feel a bit squeezed above. the taillights to wrap gracefully around the rear corners.

it's a snap to unlock and open the trunk remote way because the batteries have shrunk and are now placed under the rear seats there's 454 liters of cargo space back here but they can't be expanded as the rear seat backs can't be lowered. to mrs ted scar has the f. 4 trim like it's highlights or sporty accents on the body and in the interior it also includes to hedge her driving loads in addition to the normal and eco setting . out there even if says the sport and sport plus modes can be selected via this control and that if you activate them the gas pedal grows much more responsive as

does the steering. she adds that the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. i why even take control of shifting if you want to thank you alexandra. and all sides. so what's the bottom. line is says the design of the e s. ince terrific and she has to say that she almost prefers the exterior to the interior because it has such beautiful lines and the export hybrid that she tested has plenty of juice she says but it isn't really the car for you if you like to put the pedal to the metal because it has a top speed of only 180 kilometers an hour. or . our car to stay model shaffer says he's in spain or the home of say where he'll

explore how it all and other carmakers to produce its very own family of this u.v.'s which includes the term rocco will be a take and the smallest. where did those names come from he's on the road to find out if. it helps to know that spaniards are very proud of their homeland. is it a minimalist says we're driving the taco seance largest s.u.v. in the place they gave the vehicle its name the city of town are going to it's going to isn't the same as to rocco is it yes actually it is over 2000 years ago when the romans conquered the city they called it. over the course of time the latin word to rocco morphed into today's name going to. the sear groom a roman track for racing horses and chariots has remained from that era it's become

a popular tourist site. that we know where they started in 73. avy. far as we know the construction last. 20 years called was a very large city because it was the capital city of the province we know that there where 40000 he headed out of them 30000 in the course of. this historic site is where he motherwell is beginning his trip through the history of sea ice as u.b.s. . the spanish carmakers 1st design team in the year 2000 with the songs. some features from the scar that we still have in the d.n.a. from all around for example the connection in the one in the 2nd attempt at the class was the tribal which appeared in 2007. it has some very aspect

especially because of the wheel arches this square. is something we have almost the same in this you have right now and finally the last in the group was the only be action 2011. we were already trying to find personality. in the eyes of our cars and this is definitely right now in all our as serious. as this one says it's interesting to trace how designs changed and developed over the years and notice that the last one is quite close to what we see today and saying that's an issue of the series we've also learned quite a bit about the history of. tarragona as it's called today and the history of so you. now know it's time to head to our next destination he says.

i take up. the 2nd brother and say and she'll be fair. his name for a spanish town too like almost all the car makers models that's not surprising since as we've already mentioned the spaniards are quite patriotic. the model says it's around 330 kilometers from cairo going up to a take that means that given spanish speed limits we're in for about a 3 and a half hour drive meanwhile a look back at our last toronto test drive one of them let's go to this. although the taco is the largest s.u.v. in the city are stable and sponsor of the youngest on the market since 20 teens the model shares a platform with a v.w. to go on all space and the skoda kodiak that caracas sells for just under $30000.00 europe's. but let's get back to the here and now this question of

mine a wall says we've reached out to take a picture a small town of 2000 souls and no one knew about until see one of us s.u.v.s after now it's become relatively well known going to have a look and move on from the taco to the take then we'll be off to war next destination you know i think he just stayed up. there they are says the man who was right in it take a central square you can already see out of it's relatively small but tranquil it i am pretty sure and. the narrow streets are inviting but career stroll rather than a drive nevertheless residents are still proud of the fact that say i'd choose to name one of its cars after their town. it's a baby i think i'm a year from one crystal ball says you know you see people taking pictures in a rambling in the streets he doesn't have precise numbers but there's no doubt more

people are now coming to get to know a take and think of it. when you come into. then it's time to get into the a take it and head for the next stop on our tour. to help with the take i'm behind this emotional says we're on the road to madrid why madrid because our next stop is our own and that's on the island of 10 or if. we need to take a boat or plane to get there and the closest airport is in madrid about 220 kilometers away that will give us time to look back at the a take its development the size probably the one side courts look big these miami stuffed into. it i think of. is the mid sized version of the 3 models and also the oldest it's been around since 2016 and was such a huge success that c.n.n.

had to put a hold on orders because it had pre-sold all the units that could be produced to me the i take it so's for about $21000.00 euro us. time to board the plane for a hop over to turner reef the next morning we'll travel down to our room in a row in. which they could even be 100 kilometer route takes says up over the mountain so as you might know well so we can see a bit of the island i will give us some time to look at the aroma of can i want to it's about. a little a road has been on the market since 2017 and like that to others and should be models it's also available with a natural gas powered engine be a room to shares a platform with this go to comic and the v.w. t. cross the room to start selling it $16000.00 euro. off when the manual says that on the way it's certainly a great idea to stop in the mountains and it's not too cloudy to enjoy the view

a good amount is peak is over 3700 meters the one to. it doesn't look like it from here because you're already at 2000 meters yes that's all let's get back in the car and head for around on my feet i one found by them she fished bought at a one off once. with $80000.00 residents a rona is much larger than a take it's a city whose wealth flows in from the tourist bastions my adolescent memory cuts and those christiana. you know what i know well sums up the tour for us i'm saying because he's been able to gather many impressions and learned a lot as well and he's curious about c.x. next s.u.v.s color and what place and i will be named after.
