to hold down a v.w. presents a high profile tell discussion hosted by he came up. to 45 minutes on g.w. . literature invites us to see people in particular that i like to see as the kids find grownup. might object to whatever is to share with a friend before. he does the books on youtube. oh and welcome to drive it your motor magazine i v w coming up can cross over master any terrain. couldn't even tell yo to g.t. 86 through his paces. and hyundai's electric make extends his
8:31 pm
range. it's been hard on our car to stick units patrias in amsterdam which he says is full of bikes and charging stations so it's a great place to test an electric car and today he's going to do just that and take out hyundai's do i own a collector. the isa dam was launched back in 2016 and hyundai has just released a new updated version it has new exterior features a wider range of choice in the trim lines and comes equipped with an app called blue link that networks driver and vehicle but the biggest change is in the drive system the korean car maker has extended the iyonix range 100 kilometers. eunice's bettery capacity has been increased by about a 3rd not only extending the car's range but also improving its performance power
8:32 pm
has gone up from 80 kilowatts to $100.00 so woods grew more lifelike and sport mode able really leaps forward she said but there's also an economy mode called eco plus and if you're saving power in that mode then your speed is capped at 90 kilometers from our. electric car shine most in city traffic that's where their potential environs. facts are most clear cut and visible to improve safety in an urban setting and day has added are not a magic emergency braking system that detects cyclists as well as pedestrians and potentially dangerous situations if the driver doesn't react quickly to warning signals it hits the brakes autonomy and the car has another braking function you won't find in conventional vehicles with combustion engines. as the paddles on the steering wheel aren't for shifting gears there to influence the energy system if
8:33 pm
you adjusted to level 3 it kicks in right after you take your foot off the accelerator and you can also use the lift to really slow the car down she adds. making a serious effort to improve air quality in the city internal combustion engines will be banned in taxis there starting in 2025 and in other cars from 2030 to make the switch over to electric easier charging stations have been installed on practically every corner. churching plug on the ionic is positioned at the left rear of the car the same place you'd go to fill up a fuel powered vehicle. charging cable is included in the higher end trim lines but

costs 390 year old extra and a bare bones package in amsterdam cars are often charged more quickly when the sun is shining because the charging stations are supplied was solar power generated by homes in the neighborhood. we can be charged up to $7.00 kilowatts using a box putting out $4.00 kilowatts it takes around. at quick charge stations like those you now find increasingly on highways you can get the batteries up to around 80 percent within an hour. in sport mode the electric car hits 100 kilometers an hour in just under 10 seconds and tops out at 165 kilometers an hour. is testing the premium trim line edition of the model along with leather seats it offers
8:35 pm
a range of other creature comforts. she says all in all the car covers a lot of the spectrum from really economical driving to sporty handling for those who want it. done d.c. engineers have made only minor changes to the exterior like changing the layout of the headlights and eleni daytime running lights. the pattern on the front panel has also changed over all the iyonix to pay like roof line and long wheelbase give the car a modern sporty look. the
8:36 pm
lithium polymer batteries have been built into the cars underbody leaving a respectable 357 leaders of cargo space in the truck that can be increased by folding down the rear seats. and i knew that in his thanks one of the design highlights is the split glass trunk lid and when you close it she says it creates a really nice design made up of a sloping roof line and this and this spoiler add is complemented by the divided. rear tail lights. inside and day is emphasizing its green credentials much of the interior is clad in recycled plastic or bio plastic made from sugar cane fiber the digital cockpit feels modern and attractive as does the design of the drive selector unit.
8:37 pm
the blue link app can be launched via the 10 and a quarter inch touch display through it the driver can check how much charges left in the car's batteries both in motion and during the charging process and also remotely control systems like the air conditioning. that i am in is says the ionic is seen as a forward thinking model in hyundai's lineup it comes with one of 3 alternative drives and you can have it as a hybrid as a plug in hybrid or as an all electric version like the one she tested she thinks the last is the most interesting of the bunch because it accelerates well and it doesn't feel like you're sacrificing anything and the most part she notes is that it's affordable that you can get the all aleck trick version for under 35000 euros in germany.
8:38 pm
binya scepters sat nav says please turn writing about our car tester much as current is rather skeptical whether he should follow its directions. it's an idyllic setting here. but he says he's a little afraid of what it might do to the nice bumpers. and nice aluminum rims about that talk too bad the day started so well. there are cars whose terrain is the highway and others that are just made for country roads then there are vehicles built to go off road the audi q 8 aims to beat all 3 at once and look elegant to boot. montas wonders where the saturn i have will lead him on his test of the cue aids keep abilities were not.
8:39 pm
the 1st wrench of his journey takes our tester down curving country lanes. at the forefront mantis is already finding the queuing to be a bit more ad child in the q 7 even though the steering is very direct in dynamic mode he says. but when he switches to comfort mode then it's a bit. comfier. you certainly don't get the feeling you're steering such a heavy car around the curve. it's quite and then will drive around curves too but he says physics is physics and at some point even the best suspension and assistance systems have their limits so you should know overdo it though on the other hand transport trucks research around the nuremberg. grand prix.
8:40 pm
the s.u.v. can go fast to accelerate in from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in just 6.3 seconds and despite its science the audi can hit a top speed of 245 kilometers per hour just like the way the cue it looks inside to . doesn't he says the interior is typical high quality and he likes the synthetics weight up here of course they come. us extra which he thinks is a shame and he says a grab have always always good when you're cruising down the highway or country road everybody has to laugh behind the multifunction steering wheel is a digital speedometer that can be individualized to large displays are used for in 14 months and climate control there's a fair amount of space in back though tall passengers might find the headroom limited due to the sloping roof. and how big
8:41 pm
a rocket motor said he wanted to test the q 8 in everyway so now he's heading for germany's world famous auto one for highway driving the car has cruise control he's set the speed to 100 kilometers an hour and so far he's just been following the car ahead without a care and then fought on going to him on the at but no there's no more speed limit so he'll see what the q.h. can do when he hits the gas and the motor response or. not is finds the car handles well here for the. war to your health there's profit. so here to the q a this meeting good impression just one more test to go. to crossovers exterior is sporty yet elegant but can a vehicle was so much delicate body trim really be used off road.
8:42 pm
our tester decides to throw caution to the wind and bravely follow the sat navs have struck chance. for. me. though he finds it odd that it says to turn left. he decides to take a look 1st. i'm melissa block. binya worked with marcus is still weary of following the sat and i have to. turn left. it's an idyllic setting here he says all greenery and spruce trees. but he says he's a little afraid of what might happen to the nice bumpers. and
8:43 pm
the nice aluminum rims. about that talk too bad the day started so well. but now that he's standing here you feels the need to apologize sorry nice aluminum parts. maybe you'll survive maybe you won't will see mark because this cute way to see equipped with an optional adaptive air suspension so much this is going to raise him to get more ground clearance and see if you really can go where the sat nav wants him to. go. the amount of ground clearance can be varied to anywhere between 205254 millimeters . what they q.a. doesn't have our mechanical differential locks so it's up to the electronics to
8:44 pm
help the vehicle cope with this rough terrain. it works it works he says only everything's beeping awful can someone turn this racket off. and in our current history manual shaper says there are no real sports cars to be had for under 30000 euros except this one and you can tell you it is g t v 6 so what convinces him to grant that honor given today we're going to find out and you can keep the plugging going all day in one day. the g.t.a. v. 6 hit the market back in 2012 and toyota has sold 170000 of them since the
8:45 pm
carmakers struck paydirt with its concept of a lightweight body low center of gravity front engine and rear wheel drive the fundamental characteristics of a classic sports car. and if the and model says one of the 1st arguments that you hear against the g.t. 86 is that it doesn't pack enough power. ok 200 horsepower 147 kilowatts doesn't sound like much and he admits that the car's light weight makes up for that the g.t. 6 tops the scales at 1.3 turns in comparison a porsche boxster weighs 100 kilos my. the wood also has $100.00 more horsepower under the hood but that he says they were in mind that the cheapest boxster that cost nearly twice as much as the toyota. t.v. 6 can eat a 100 kilometers an hour from a standstill in 7.6 seconds toyota says it burns $7.00 leaders of fuel per 100
8:46 pm
kilometers on the road if you push it a little no plan to burn a leader or 2 over that. you might as well ask what makes a good sports car quickly to accelerate its top speed that's for muscle cars he says no one climbs in their sports car hits the motorway accelerates a couple of times a top speed and then says wow that was a great outing with a sports car you're driving in the mountains and taking curves because that's where driving gets fun especially accelerating out of curves and cornering and that's something that she t.v. 6 does very well he says he thinks. the stability in curves is largely due to the car's macpherson struts up front and a chassis brace and back it also reduces the risk of rolling.
8:47 pm
86 certainly looks like a sports car in smardz grill is complemented to the left and right by wicked headlights. racing style spoilers. midnight black side near. and a flat road hugging silhouette. and of course it has the obligatory 17 inch alloy rims. outlets on the fenders and a sweeping rear spoiler. various not much trunk space but that's par for the course in a sports car and toyota has made the interior is sporty as it comes.
8:48 pm
the short throws and shifting gears from the cars compact dimensions to make it easy to control it feel safe not least because you don't even have to drive fast to enjoy the ride. a manual says one of the cars highlights is how much fun it is even at relatively low speeds you're pretty close to the ground he said and the rear is a little skittish due to the rear wheel drive but that makes things lively if you control things by hitting and letting off the gas so you should know overdo it he warned us. so it's less a car for fans of good longitudinal dynamics it's more for those who like a little drift. even as is only appropriate for a sports car so the minor while toyota didn't give the g.t. 86 a turbo charger but of course that means you have to push the engine a little fortunately this vehicle likes it and only hits its limits at $8000.00 r.p.m. which guarantees lots of driving pleasure it's
8:49 pm
a blast to downshift and then stomp on a day sass and the sound inside is just what you'd expect it to be from a pedigreed sports car. so at the end of the day is the g.t. 86 really the impossible dream a sports car that won't make a serious dent in your retirement fund. i'll give you minimal says all in all he thinks it's absolutely correct to call it a sports car and in it's price to performance segment aside from the subaru of b. r.e.c. and has virtually no competitors there's the mazda m.x. 5 he adds. but depending on the engine i can have up to 70 less horsepower under the hood from the. armies of tradesmen have spent a good part of their lives in the driver's seat of the very 1st generation of the

v.w. bus called simply the t one. driver christophe powers taking one of the more than 1800000 t. ones built for a spin the v.w. bus was the right vehicle at the right time. no i didn't know that christophe recalls its history starting in 1947 as west germany was still rebuilding from the 2nd world war back then trades people urgently needed a practical utility van to carry their tools and materials from a to b. despite the massive damage at the v.w. plan and borg a solution was eventually found. at the time v.w. workers were carrying parts of materials with a transporter they'd built themselves by putting a simple flat bed on a beetle chassis and engine. the parts carrier inspired visiting dead porter then pawns to sketch what would become the v.w. bus the engineering was based entirely on the still new beetle the only v.w.
8:51 pm
in production at the time. map that's what christoph continues and the autumn of 1948. i make nor to approve the construction of a utility van designed to carry a 750 kilogram payload based on the dependable v.w. beetle but it was not that easy nor cheap as it happened the beetle chassis tended to break up under a full load on the poor quality road so the time off from. the beatles platform chassis wasn't strong enough to handle the want to have tons of a fully loaded transporter. so v.w. since he nears gave the van a new ladder frame chassis with a unitized body but the axles engine and many other parts were still taken from the middle it was 950 and all they needed was the right name. but it continued christophe explains that in germany the v.w. bus is known as the bully that word combination from buzz and the german word leaf
8:52 pm
provocative or delivery van unfortunately the name was already trademarked and other suggestions such as felix he. city and triomphe ator were also shot down by the patent office so what if the v.w. bus was given the simple designation of type 2 but it's german fans didn't care they still know it as the bully today. the v.w. bus was a hit with the car buying public in germany and the world over in 1954 the 100300 came off the production line. extraditions like the samba bus and the practical flatbed pick up soon appeared the highly versa tile v.w. bus enjoyed huge popularity. much for kristoff this is one of the friendliest and most likeable faces in automotive
8:53 pm
history these funny bug eyes attract lots of most towns it looks on the road but the bus came close to looking quite different production would have been a great deal cheaper for a body will swear contour protests in the wind tunnel showed that rounded edges made for much less wind resistance so the v.w. bus was in fact one of the pioneers of aerodynamics. the split front windshield the v. shaped front panel and a gargantuan emblem of the 1st generation of the bus it's now iconic face. higher ground clearance. on a practical flatbed with an optional canvas covered up to make the t one pick up the ideal construction site workhorse. the double cab was introduced in 1958 with space for 6 workers and their tools but heavy load still pushed the engine to its limit. praise of
8:54 pm
a legendary $1.00 leader $25.00 horsepower boxer engine taken from the beetle it's no surprise that a load of one and a half tons had the engine puffing and groaning so the engineers gave it a shorter gear ratio that's brought the top speed down to 80 kilometers per hour but made it more dependable as a work or should be a 1.2 liter engine and this one delivers $34.00 horsepower. these days the vintage t one buses are mostly retired from their labors with no load they can be surprisingly nippy even if the maximum speed of just 95 kilometers per hour and the partially synchronized transmission will keep a driver in the country very leisurely. christof attributes the v.w. bus is enormous success to its incredible versatility the version he's driving now is a double cab pickup or as its fans call it
8:55 pm
a doka and docos were the preferred vehicle of builders the high load still get through rough terrain such as foundation pits with. like all the other additions the double cab pick up was a best seller and 1958 votes one a good move production from wall spork to a plant built as specially for commercial vehicles and over 3 years later the one millionth e.w. bus rolled off the assembly line. that while he was out her stuff sums up the v.w. bus is the ultimate multi-purpose vehicle a workhorse a home with an ambulance life style mold while the only limits are the owner's imagination it's aerodynamically optimize body in a lightweight construction left the competition in the dust the w.'s bust became
