in the us more specifically in utah we have our 1st encounter with a 2nd generation of the g.l.'s from mercedes and the fast open spaces even the 7 seater looks tiny but don't be fooled it has grown by 8 centimeters to an impressive 5.21 meters long and 1.95 wide. it's just what a lot of american and chinese customers were asking for but hard to imagine how this will cope with the narrow streets and car parks in european city. even so how do other motive journalists like the new g.l.'s we collected some 1st impressions. thomas says what he particularly notices about the new g.l.'s is that it is relatively agile for its size that's probably because of its new suspension technology and that's even true compared to the g.o.p. which has a shorter. we'll be and is
8:32 am
a little more agile but for this long wheel base he thinks it's still fun to drive and when it comes to comfort especially thanks to the air suspension it's near the top of his class. but he loses his mercedes benz likes to call the g.l.'s the s. class among issues and she thinks that's a really good comparison and has just about every feature that has a very attractive design that still radiates elegance i'm really impressed obviously with the transition to the new platform i had driven g o e so i had a pretty good idea that it would be an improvement but for a vehicle of the sauciest it drives a lot more exciting than the old one well it's huge i mean i saw it for the 1st time i'm like wow driving this in europe it's yeah i can imagine it's more for the american market it's big it's very big. technically than she alleges closely related to a smaller brother that. they share a platform but the g.o.'s is $25.00 centimeters longer than both s.u.v.

models are built in the u.s. . is that the square shift of the old one it's more around now so personally i like it more because it's more in proportion and mostly the rear. and that not only looks good it also offers a maximum load capacity of $2400.00 leaders. yeah well they definitely renewed the interior i like the leader the center console with the new shapes of the of the of the evidence. the interior is like typical misstate is they're rolling the interiors these days. the $212.00 inch displays are already standard on the g.l.'s what's really relaxing are the various massage programs which can be selected on the right display passengers in the rear can conveniently operate their seat functions such as air conditioning and massage using a detachable tablet of course voice control is also possible. a mercedes.

kilowatts will be the 1st on the market by spain the russian was very impressed with the v.a. even thinks it's well matched to the american road it's america these are new vigor i'd say and it's not an i m g. but it's tied to us resolved as has good steering feel it feels balanced and feel safe but it's very much looking forward to driving the speak a little beyond roads in new zealand just somewhat different to what we thought of the united states well at the the 580 and i think it's a very fast guys specially with the e.q. boost engine so i think i see more and more excited about the ames you come in. small cars are often cute but seldom fast this car is the exception bright orange with ford tailpipes that gives just a hint of them fully. we take

a look at the audi t.t.'s. card tester julia morrow says out he is giving the t.t. a facelift 4 years after it went on the market they focused on 3 main areas design performance and equipment today we're testing the new t.n.t. and it's t.t.s. form to see what has changed. from the front that t.t.'s looks white dominated by the mighty single frame grill and large air intakes on the side. and integrated from the lift side skirts and a wide diffuser emphasized the sportiness of the audi t.t.'s could play from every angle and that's nowhere more evident than from beyond where ford tailpipes an air outlets tell motorists they might have trouble keeping up.
8:37 am
julian says with 225 kilowatts instead of 228 the new t.t.s. is actually less powerful than his predecessor this is due to the particulate filter for the new european emission standard but that doesn't really matter because the new engine has about 22 meters more torque. the $2.00 leader ts as high has a maximum torque of $400.00 newton metres giving it is 0 to 100 kilometers per hour time of just 4.5 seconds the top speed is electronically limited to 250 kilometers per hour prices for the g.t.s. who pay started $54400.00 euros in germany. says 9 out of the 10 t.t.'s customers have ordered their car with a do. clutch transmission that's why audi decided to drop the manual transmission
8:38 am
completely for the facelift that's good because the new s. tronic was 7 instead of 6 gears shifts extremely well it's lightning fast and surprisingly convenient. the interior is high quality and kept. the audi t.t. as coupe page control center takes over the danish board everything can be found here this eliminates a conventional infotainment display in the middle. as sports seats are standard and they give excellent hold and powerful acceleration for end dynamic cornering. once again out he is calling the t.t.s. coupe a 2 plus 2 seater and with good reason not a 4 seater there's no point in looking for a room here instead the 2 rear seats service story space for

original condition and back then it really was painted not glued on to the car like transfers or stickers today. he likes cars that always tell a story and this card tells a nice story just 3 cars of his kind were built a true rarity. the volvo x c 60 is one of the swedish company's most important models the 1st generation dominating the brand's worldwide sales for a decade the 2nd generation has been available since 2017 how does the compact and hubie compare. to make work of what car to surmount is correct likes is the engine the $184.00 kilowatt t 5 offers proper acceleration once you step on the gas pedal but he's wondering about the decision to build a gasoline powered car here in europe diesels and plug in hybrids which will also

produces have a significant advantage over this model when it comes to fuel consumption if it's claimed to be $9.00 leaders per 100 kilometers but in reality you could expect double digits. i don't but you know me. in depth charts this is. exceed 60 can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in a brisk 6.8 seconds it's top speed is electronically limited to 220 kilometers per hour in germany the x c 60 starts at above 57000 europe's obvious mach to says he usually likes direct steering but what this will has is just a bit too direct for him that said the steering isn't really too direct but combined with the high center of gravity it just seems that way especially when matching the wheel left and right on curves he says it feels like he's being shaken
8:46 am
and that's something he doesn't really like. to fight me. despite its compact measurements of around 1.9 meters wide 4.6 meters long and 1.7 meters tall the of always almost 2 turns. to increase comfort while driving volvo offers and dish an all acoustic leasing. but much as doesn't find it to be all that quiet he says there's a lot of noise from the lower chassis when he drives over and even roads are bumps so he thinks they could have done a better job for a car of this price. cut by them all to be the price. justifies that high base price with
8:47 am
a multitude of standard safety systems like breaking a system that includes human and animal detection lane departure warning and active steering assistance and evasion maneuvers. not just says that's not all and there are extra cost options like the pilot is a system here the wool stays in lane and follows the pace set by the car in front and speeds up to 130 kilometers per hour. it's meant to make driving less stressful especially on the highway. and he thinks that would be very useful in a company car or for people who are on the road a lot for their work. it's a feature that helps them get to their destination in greater comfort seemed awed by its often you know my stance on supply. and speaking of comfort the interior
8:48 am
offers a mix of aluminum light wood and leather finish to a high standard. so surely the modest says as beautiful as this car is the x the 60 is not a bargain he should really be reading and driving but here it says volvo x c 65 a w d inscription this model has a base price of $57450.00 euros in germany there are quite a few i dish and features in this particular car though so that he wouldn't be paying $6570.00 or even 75 but 79550 euros for it and this makes him wonder why this is justified for a car where the road noise is so noticeable.

last. formula e.c. soon is just come to an end. and we can look back on a very special reach the formula eeg ran pre and this was city of burn an event that balances a passion for motor sport and the question of sustainability that's also how the drivers see it. i'm competing in fulminating because i don't get the show not the racing not only because i want to be a minute but. i think it's kind of. spreading the message which is he's been there a month in the same time when you join i mean you know and. from there i struck. sebastian way me getting ready to race in his home turf in switzerland once again all drivers check out the route 2.75 kilometers with an altitude difference of 50

meters and tricky course. i knew if you go save all. in a simulated also similarly special compared to what i've seen in this image of i did so very challenging circuit for her. with a new sun team blamey is one of the world's top formula the racers has already been world champion once and runner up twice. now she is in the spotlight at the 1st car race and burn for more than 65 years. it's amazing to be to be here and there you know it's even closer to where i was born so i really try to enjoy your own week you know in the only thinkable to try to enjoy it because i don't know if it's ever going to end. it's been a long wait even though car racing has a long tradition here the city circuit was legendary in the 1950 s.

the best formula one drivers in the world competed here at the byrne grand prix. but car racing disappeared from switzerland in the wake of motorsports because catastrophe over 80 people were killed in an accident at lamont in france in 1955 this was parliament then decided no more races in switzerland a ban that still applies today. but switzerland made an exception for formula important because it wants to promote electric vehicles they have a long tradition in switzerland there has been electric public transport here for a long time along with car for inner city and environmentally friendly technologies in the past the swiss have repeatedly shown forward thinking with their inventions switzerland wants to become carbon neutral by 2050 at the latest it's
8:52 am
a goal that the supported by almost everyone. the i would be how i miss it. but ishtar who heads engineering group a.b.b. switzerland says his company has a long tradition of electric mobility and its predecessor company electrified a swiss tram line in 1006 so it's something they've been doing throughout their history and also when it comes to road traffic the world is developing very rapidly . so it could be typically swiss that the drivers arrived at the autograph session by public transport less than 4 hours before the ring. most plays. kind of guy but you know i try to do the best i can to try to to preserve. a name called for in the on the fly method and their environment from my side did i do the best i can but they look at me crazy. and yet with every

autograph that's a fashion when he signs with every selfie he also helps promote electric mobility. and then it's time to race. i. could i was awfully with him and stood there behind. me is in top form in the 3rd to last race of the season but he knows that competition will be tough and very. hard. last.
