down let's see this to come from soup. to a. very. into active exercise is the right thing about that deafening don't come. on facebook. gem in fact for a. hello and welcome to drive with the d.w. motor magazine this week we see how c 20 celebrates its centennial. take a look at the audi q 3 sport back. and drive a new hope also fear of life. as a car testament to his courage says introduce the sephira in 1999 it was intended

as a versatile compact vehicle suitable for a family but with enough power and good for a city driving even with a spacious interior since then the model has gone through 3 generations and at least 2700000 have been sold by not that bad now is the 4th generation safira is hitting the market it's called the so fierro life but has much less on common with the 3 previous generations and they had with each other. i think i forgot about the one in medina. and that's primarily because the new so fear is technically no longer a compact van but a full size sedan in terms of size it's in the same segment is the media bus and mercedes b. class. the sephira life shares his technical underpinnings with the soon to end

space tour traveller and toyota versa all 4 are available in 3 links with 2 wheel basis. to says one thing has not changed and that's versatility but it's a different kind of versatility the previous affair was available with up to 7 seats but the life has up to 9 seats in a variety of configurations. you want to. our test car has 8 seats of which the 6 in the 2 back rows can be folded down and moved alternatively benches are available instead of individual seats. and sure many of the saffir are life is powered exclusively by diesel engines we

tested the biggest version with 130 kilowatts output and a seek speed manual transmission. and that's not to say as you cannot expect sports car handling from a vehicle in the van de segment but even if it isn't as peppy yes its predecessor as a fair a life is still pretty respectable the steering wheel delivers good road feel the brakes do their job if you have to hit them it makes a good impression on. what i. was . no one's going to mistake this affair for a sports car but design elements like chrome trim on the grill and now wheels for a dash of style. the

2 electric sliding doors are very handy they can also be opened with the central locking remote control. with 3 rows of seats the cargo space is naturally somewhat limited if you need to transport more you can remove the rear bench or opt for the longer version of a safari. the dashboard is sober and not flashy what's good for children all rear seats have easel fixed anchors for child seats. as if i mean which. model of a pat perch says a vehicle like this a fear is just right for her family and doesn't pretend to be a sports car but has more of a down to earth look what's important is that it's lots of things fish in sight but she says comfort is also important and safety is very much so especially when she's

hauling kids and her family drives long distances so it has to be comfortable will say ok so so when it comes to everyday usability the syfy real life receives top marks but it isn't the right car for everybody so we're giving you my car to says most people who buy a vehicle for up to 9 people only ever want to drive on solid roads. but there are also times when you might need a car with lots of space that can also go up for road and there's a solution for that to. get. opel has collaborated with french offroad specialists only to offer a 4 wheel drive version allowing the family transporter to make its way through less hospitable to rain this chassis is also a race for better ground clearance. this

modest wouldn't be much less if we didn't find something to complain about like the material in the door to. be thinks it doesn't sound good. so maybe the engineers and designers will find a better solution at the next facelift and that process to go to is all so fitting . apart from this small feeling of the saffir life does not reveal any real weaknesses in our test the 3 of minimum lengths and the wealth of equipment packages provide a version for every need i'm both country and city residents.

not to sums up the saffir i live by saying it meets his expectations it offers plenty of space comfortable driving and pretty much everything you'd expect from a modern car including every possible assistance just last month. and although it looks bigger i think the short version is actually even more compact than the onus of fear it so you can take it into town just as well as you could before that stuff you about us highest rank on it in god knows it would indeed stop falling in fog. at a small airfield near english not in southern germany we have the opportunity to take an exclusive look at out each new is family member the q 3. sport back the

crossover offshoot of the q 3 compact s.u.v. has more than a little coupe am it the front of the car is almost identical to the normal q 3 but insiders can tell it's a scored back by its county home radiator grille. although the 4.5 meter q 3 sport back is only a little longer than its sister model it looks longer and more dynamic thanks to its 3 centimeter flatter roof unlike many s.u.v. coup payoff shoots this one hardly cuts into its interior space. the standard luggage capacity remains the same at $530.00 leaders of folding down the rear seats expands it to $1400.00 only 100 liters less than the normal q 3. into outings you often kept there says the q 3 sport x. interior offers the driver both a sporty and

a digital experience that means the analog instruments are gone everything's digital and the interior design is dominated by sharply drawn lines and 3 dimensional shapes the central display is angled 10 degrees toward the driver making the seating position even more economic and sporty the driver always has everything in view and within reach allowing optimum use of the new functions. inside the q 3 sport back offer state of the art technology in addition to a finish touchscreen in the center console a virtual dashboard measuring just under 12 inches supplies the driver with all important information through various display modes. for you in the q 3 sport back is an optional integration of amazon's voice assistant alexa for example driver and passengers. ash the voice controlled about

the weather wars requests their favorite music. colony sundries groener says they can even operate their smart home devices for example if they're on the road and not sure if they've turned off the lights at home alexa can do that for them to get home although it's kind of like the physics one. i like shipley's turn on the light on. well this list is on and the way it is on. the q 3 sport back hits the streets in europe there's not a list prices haven't yet been revealed. the test now i think artistry manner was she 1st testing a veteran among s.u.v.s when it 1st rolled out in 1909 there really wasn't that much competition 20 years later things look very different everyone offers a luxury as you know audi mercedes porsche and even lamborghini and everyone wants

a piece of the action that means you have to stand out from the competition so let's see what makes the b.m.w. x 5 so different from the others. the x 5 was not the 1st s.u.v. ever built but it was still 3 years ahead of its competitors porsche and bobos models the other premium manufacturers brought out their issue these waves. that either come for a mano says the ride comfort in the x 5 is already impressive it's very quiet in here that has a lot to do with sound insulation but also the windows which are thicker and absorb more outside noise phobia and that if this were the christmas. but the audi q 7 a mercedes t.l.e. also offer a similarly high level of travel comfort even though the luxury s.u.v.s can technically be taken off road starting price is around $70000.00 euros in germany

probably mean very few people use this ability damage to vehicles like these runs up repair bills very quickly. b x 5 has an aggressive look. you might almost as if you look at the grille here you get the feeling that automakers above all i would even b.m.w. are trying to outdo each other in terms of size he finds that. just too big but in other markets things are different for example in china and the u.s. it says can't be big enough it's almost like they wanted to grill and no car behind it all. one option for the x. 5 is laser headlights they illuminate the streets almost twice as far as conventional headlights without blinding others a similar system is also available from. at 4.92 meters in length the x 5 is exactly as long as the g.m.

and slightly shorter than the q 7. what they all have in common is trouble finding a parking space that's long enough. cargo space hold 650 to 1870 leaders so it's maximum volume is bigger than the porsche cayenne but 180 leaders smaller than the g q 7 when it comes to rear seating space there is nothing to complain about. the interior features high quality materials and workmanship. the $12.00 inch digital instrument cluster and the identically sized infotainment system in the center console are standard. they can be operated simply and intuitively this is not the case with all manufacturers sometimes you have to work through

confusing menus. not surprising the x. 5 has numerous assistance systems. we're testing the x. drive 40. with $250.00 kilowatts out put the smallest gasoline engine that's competitive with the engines porsche and mercedes offer. big screen if a man of us has the x. 5 strings go beyond driving on the road and include parking where it has some very special features. this includes a backup assist. to assist this ensures that when you drive into

a space you can back you out of it automatically all you have to do is press the accelerator and break it's like this one was also. so we drive around the corner here to try it out. you know just stop here. and then turn on the parking assistant. on the side you can select the back up assistant with the bad and that then it tells him to put the car into reverse gear which he does. and it drives away and softens steering wheel because it's so steering if all you have to do is already and accelerate and now you can see the car does the steering and so we drive backwards just the way we came in. this works for a maximum distance of 50 meters. he says this is pretty convenient especially if you have difficulty reversing. look at. other car makers don't

offer her system like fish but it's not exclusive to the x. y. it is also available for other b.m.w. models. emanuel says his overall impression of the b.m.w. x 5 is that with its high travel comfort it is simple and intuitive operation of the infotainment system and as the cherry on top being able to reverse automatically for the last 50 meters. it's a really good car if only it didn't have that huge grill but he admits that's ultimately a matter of taste about they are dozens of and they could. be w.'s got a decades long go through teen and tried so many variants and drives and now the v.w. to rock is something like a gold and she'll be just a little shorter

a little wider quite a bit higher for just about the same price. lewis recalls of the medium used to run a compact s.u.v. was intended to bump up the recent sales figures but is it more than just a raise gulf after all that is based on a popular compact platform he's taking a closer look at why to my guns going to. first he notices the t.-rex modern and sporting design a new grille and broad slim headlights give it a commanding front it's 4.23 meters length as 12 centimeters over the tee cross which is based on the smaller v.w. polo.

at the rear it does look a bit like a propped up golf slim but distinctive reversing lights and some 3 d. elements leave an aggressive but sporty impression from behind. with his 445 leaders luggage capacity expandable to 1290 leaders the team iraq carries more than the gulf but that lucky chance to be heaved over a loading lift 79 centimeters high. there to rock we tested is powered by a one and a half meter gasoline engine quoting $110.00 kilowatts through a sick speed manual transmission in excel and rates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour and 8.4 seconds and sure many of the team iraq with feet style trim this for about 26000 euros. last fall i was fine so he gave me a t.-rex handling quite pleasant and relaxed it takes courage dynamically but

remains stable as striking exterior design is an attention getter. the to rock suspension is set nice and firm as expected for the team who wants a little brother more ground clearance means a suitably higher seat position with good visibility of the road. and f one top lowest nose of the controls typical of the w.r. quite neatly arranged the t. iraq only has a very few buttons making for a very modern look. the interior trim is painted in the same kirk you may yellow as the body. impossible to overlook is the 8 inch touch screen completely integrated in dividends for. the seats have their yellow accents as well. plots pointed at lewis

finds no wacko space knight to rock describing it as romance officially comfortable by he's got enough leg and headroom which makes long trips with or in the car more than possible. standard in the tree rock is had skimming of the area head of finish koreans and main markets optional are many other systems adaptive cruise control. lane assist front and rear parking sensors fatigue detection traffic sign recognition and emergency braking to lessen the impact of an imminent collision. out of iraq is similar to a school sibling but offers more space and brings more typical s.u.v. qualities into the equation it louis thinks city rock would take good care of its own.

all automotive historical ice our own parish since one is 100 years old the carmaker with a double chevron is as french as the eiffel tower a highlight of the centennial activities is the car meet of the century on the clapham teeming down test track over 5000 such winds are here with their proud owners. this is a mandatory to do it here goes that seems these play displays as being the place where seats when tested prototypes and you calls so when we decided to work on. a landmark in order to organize the centenary and either sorry there was no other option going well the brand in many colors of the brand and that's why it was done and here. for driving in presenting their finished cars the entries keep an

diversity of vehicles what unites them is their grassroots appeal with some models becoming automotive icons one is the legendary do schivo tortoise or dolly here as a one $990.00 model another is the compact each transporter that once ruled france is country roads. at the top of the high end is the s.m. a situation with a montserrat vientiane with its. 220 kilometer an hour top speed it was the swiftest front wheel drive volume produced car going but it took lots of maintenance and it still does so what about getting parts. when congress or thomas really explains that it isn't all that hard to find parts even if the mechanics are complex and involve many specially manufactured ones everything about the engine came from us arriving in italy and those parts are getting scarce the body sections windows and so on are also specific to the model other parts are

similar to ones from the d.s. like the transmission and many smaller parts and the fan base in clubs in france and germany are very well organized parts initiatives also exist in the united states because this model was exported there too which are also well organized and parts can be obtained from them just because a few dedicated clubs are now manufacturing parts and advantages that only one type of this car was ever built there were manual and automatic versions and 2 engine performance levels but this car was only built in a very limited number of variables. like a ball toying. with fanciful ideas for the future and legendary models of the past 20 fans celebrated the bold creative spirit of the french carmaker for 3 days.
