1:32 am
because you know it's new suspension technology and that's even true compared to the g.o.p. which has a shorter wheelbase and is a little more agile but for this long wheelbase 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. at the research his mercedes benz likes to call the g.o.'s the s. class among issues east and she thinks that's a really good comparison and has just. about every feature that has a very attractive design that still read each elegance. really impressed obviously with the transition to the new plate full i had driven geology so i had a pretty good idea that it would be an improvement but for a vehicle of the sauciest so it drives a lot more exciting than the old one well it's huge i mean i saw it for the 1st time like wow driving this in europe it's yeah i can imagine it's more for the american market is big it's very big. technically the geo lash is closely related
1:33 am
to a smaller brother the g l e they share a platform but the g.l.'s is 25 centimeters longer both s.u.v. models are built in the u.s. . is that it's a question for the old one it's more around now so personally i like it more because it's more in proportion and mostly the rear. end that not only looks good it also offers a maximum load capacity of 2400 liters. yet while they they definitely renewed the interior i like the definitely at the center console with the new shapes of the of the of the evidence. the interior is like typical ms it 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

1:45 am
a gasoline powered car here in europe diesel's and plug in hybrids which wool 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 can expect double digits. i don't know if you know me. in depth charts this is. x c 60 can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour and a brisk 6.8 seconds its top speed is electronically limited to 220 kilometers per hour insure many the x c 60 starts at above 57 pounds near us obvious mach monta says he usually likes direction hearing 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 and just seems that way especially when

justifies that high base price with a multitude of standard safety systems like breaking news that includes human and animal b. tension lane departure warning and active steering assistance evasion maneuvers. not just says that's not all and there are extra cost options like the pilot is the system here the volvo 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.
1:48 am
and speaking of comfort the interior offers a mix of aluminum light wood and leather finish to a high standard. so surely the monitor says as beautiful as this car is the x c 60 is not a bargain he should really be reading and driving but here it says global x c 65 a w d inscription this model has a base price of 57450 euros in germany there are quite a few i dish no features in this particular car though so that he wouldn't be paying 6570 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. died of.
