a way as the french car makers be able to shake up the subcompact classic buyers have a choice of gasoline or diesel engines or electric drive if god would like to find out which drives system suits on this suit for many and what puts it ahead of the v.w. polo no creo and other competitors so much. the brake colors are the only thing that make this little runabout look fresh and modern the daytime running lights do their part as does the big air intake with fine chrome details. part of the g.t. line is a big rear spoiler that lends the tooling quite a sporty look glossy black rear l.e.d. cluster straight connects the tail lights. to show our viewers in choice of a 1.2 leave again so. an engine

a diesel and an electric drive for its new 208 we tested the most powerful gasoline version 1st it has an output of $96.00 kilowatts that's $131.00 horsepower. this version comes with an 8 speed automatic transmission that accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in any point 7 seconds achieving a top speed of 280 kilometers per hour. but it will go on recognizes that in the 2 oids various against fully empowered versions at least who show seems to harbor truly sporting ambitious though not at the expense of comfort still can see the steering could be a bit tighter especially around middle position at best the. young can see anything about the 208 interior that would measure up to having to be

up all those high quality workmanship standards everything in here looks quite smart move the steering wheel is rather small but that may be a question of taste anything since fits in here well enough. but it will be on spot something that competitors don't have a 3 d. digital instrument cluster of various display modes bring relevant information seemingly closer to the driver by projecting it in hologram form it looks somewhat like the old flip book images and takes some getting used to but then it's quite endearing. i think is my only thing young would criticize about the interior is their rear visibility it's noticeably impaired by the very large the pillars. now we come to the newest member of into holy family each to all 8 at a fashion charging station the batteries can be charged to 80 percent and. just

half an hour the electric version can only be spotted by small visual details. the grilles checkered color scheme matches the body paint added different angles a lion logos appear to change color. and of course there is a modern digital cockpit. fully charged batteries give each a range of 340 kilometers. made sure going electric didn't sacrifice performance at 100 kilowatts or 136 horsepower the ied to 08 is the most powerful model in the range it makes the sprint from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour and 8 point one seconds.

they it's put on a direct comparison yun sees the coming out on top across the board it's 260 newton meter tour kicks in right off it has no turbo lag and it shows some of the sportiness the combustion engines lack except when it comes to the e.t.o.h. top speed which is capped at 150 kilometers per hour of. the battery is located under the floor leaving just as much space inside as in the other versions the. features 3 drive modes one to optimize the range one for optimum comfort and the sport. both you know includes the starting price in germany at 15419 year olds for the smallest internal combustion version that starts at $30450.00 euros but an internal combustion version with performance at the equipment comparable to the emergency would run at least 23000.

500 euros that being the 130 horsepower version with automatic transmission even minus the 4000 euro subsidy. still costs more to maintain with less depreciation so anyone thinking about buying the most powerful gasoline engine should take a closer look at the end to all wait my going to. mitsubishi's bell $200.00 is a familiar face in the pick up segment it's been around since 1978 and is now in its 5th generation. it's a really big artist to remount or schieffer points out that even if mitsubishi's labeled this al $200.00 a facelift over half of the parts have been updated and reworked so we could almost call it home new generation especially when it comes to the exterior design quite a lot has been done with it. that's most obvious at the

front it's mitsubishi's new face with a dynamic shield that's how the japanese carmaker designates this design with an upward sweeping contours and high mountain narrow headlights the pickups front looks altogether sharper and more up to date. easy sell a 4 wheel drive means selectable all wheel drive and it standard in every trimline . brand new under the hood is the $2.00 leader turbo charged diesel it puts out $110.00 kilowatts to mobilize an impressive $400.00 newton metres of torque. is give the man a while describes the automatic transmission in his test truck as relaxed it's available as an alternative to the stick speed manual gearbox and the actual shifting is barely even noticeable it's all designed for long journeys and he

doesn't really have any complaints sporting this is an entirely different matter but of course pick ups are not generally sporty side. cover new features include various drivers assistance systems like the forward collision mitigation or f c m into. takes pedestrians ahead and tries to avert collisions through active braking . as i pick them on a while is interested to see how the pickup handles off the road so now he's going to take it out into rough terrain. a dial switches between $2.00 and $4.00 wheel drive in addition various offroad programs can be selected for driving on surfaces like snow sand and rock each one designed to enhance the 2 hundreds all terrain capabilities so driving up steep hills on the loose gravel shouldn't present any problem for this pickup truck. the interior can easily make you forget you're

sitting in a utility miracle especially when it comes to the state of the art infotainment system and leather seats. the workmanship is high quality as well more so than we normally expect from a vehicle primarily meant to carry more coal heavy loads the l. 200 can handle up to 3 tons of towing capacity. here bones and all you minimal reminds us of the pick ups are quite a rare sight on german roads so it comes as no surprise that according to mr b.

she over 80 percent of l. $200.00 buyers are businesses with her private individuals a pickup like this wouldn't usually make that much sense in other markets that's different americans for instance i love pickups and china and many other countries where the roads are not as well developed have quite a lot more pickups. capita so the 0200 issue or to find many a buyer around the world. list prices for an l $200.00 started just under $30000.00 euros in germany but only for the 2 door version. and wolfsburg volkswagens roll down 8th generation of the goal it offers a choice of 5 different hybrid drives it also takes digitalisation and connectivity to a new level all of the cockpit displays for instance are digital and standard the travel

assist takes this gulf down the highway and screens have to 210 kilometers per hour without the need for active steering accelerating or braking. among the most widely sold hybrid s.u.v.s worldwide is the r x 458 now lexus has presented phone leave his version the are anxious new design makes an optical impression but a few changes have been made under the hood as well but chassis has been made more torsion resistant and given new bumpers and the latest generation of the lexus safety system provides greater safety on the road and enhanced collision avoidance . volkswagens to rock has been on the road for 2 years now b.t.w. is creating a new variant of the compact issue that ti rock convertible that's helping the

wolfsburg based car maker expand its model range in the auto industry's fastest growing segment of the open top the rock is building volkswagen's plant in austin a fork where convertible versions of these beetle and go models were also may. begin by the. no says folks wagon hopes to appeal to a wide range of buyers is convertibles are often female oriented but this one has the s.u.v. gene so it's more masculine in its design so they assume it will appeal to men and women. the front is identical to the one on the close body to rock it's legionnaire or headlights or optically integrated into the grill that and the separate daytime running lights located underneath the headlights give the car it's familiar face. but unlike the closed body variant the convertible is only available as a 3 door model the arline trim adds i catch in chrome elements to the exterior. in

spite of its size the electric soft top roof can open or close in just 9 seconds but the car travelling it speeds up to 30 kilometers per hour. but the amount of cargo space has shrunk considerably from 392 leaders to 284 liters though that's unlikely to dissuade most convertible fans.

i cobbled he is with me here marco has so from both wagon says a convertible is always a highlight when it comes to developing a car body imagine it like a shoe box with a closed lid there's a lot of torsion resistance but take off the lid and it's easily twisted and unstable. so that's the challenge optimizing the car body so they can do without the roof want to. be a pillar has also been strengthened to protect the vehicles occupants should it flip over and there's also a protection system that pops up from behind the headdress should a rollover occur. inside everything remains the same the controls are just like in the close body to rock here to there is in digital cockpit as well as the latest generation infotainment system which is always on line.

marco hassel says 2 gasoline powered engine variants are planned and 85 kilowatt one with manual transmission and a 110 kilowatt engine of a little with a manual or not a magic with a lot of. fans hope folks who i can will introduce a sporty are a variant of the convertible based on the new clothes body key rock are it goes a 221 kilowatt engine that will give you plenty of wind in your hair. but the key rock convertible most wagon has once again dared to try something new it looks to be a worthy successor to the gulf convertible gold prices have yet to be announced.

subaru has given its midsize laborde station wagon a major facelift fellow ford has been in production since 2014 is based on the same flat form as the in praises and the legacy. that says that the car just. louis koppel says the name of organ support of the words legacy revolution entering this subaru changed to win over buyers with its roominess creature comforts and sporty elegance so today louis is going to see if it lives up to that promise. only those familiar with the previous level org will notice the changes to the exterior the air scoop on the hood has disappeared giving the new live board a more elegant and less aggressive look. beautiful profile the proportions are policing. consumer whose

trademark permanent symmetrical all wheel drive comes in standard equipment on the board. at the rear it's the twin exhaust and pipes that stand out the most. the interior comes across is uncluttered and harmonious. the look forward is equipped with subarus careless linear trani continuously variable transmission. alloy pedals add a sporty touch. as obama says the car's target group is families which is evident here in the back if there's lotsa room i had room and leg room and the trunk can hold 522 liters of cargo which he sees as a real plus. if. the turbo charged

1.6 liter g.g. engine used in the previous model is now history that means the old air scoop on the hood needed to cool the terminal boxer is no longer needed so what's under the hood now. what imus is delivering comes with a 2 liter box or engine that's used in other subaru models like the forester and it's more fuel efficient but he thinks it lacks the power of a turbo charged. to completely overhauled 4 cylinder puts out one had. 10 kilowatts of power as is typical for a naturally aspirated model the engine wants to rev high when delivering full power maximum torque at 198 meters is only and she did $4200.00 r.p.m. so the award can go from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in 11.7 seconds and hits a top speed of 195 kilometers an hour.

or tester says the subaru is a really pleasant and comfortable ride it handles very tightly here on wind on country roads and the suspension cushions the impact of the uneven ground. the new tuning for the suspension not only makes the ride more comfortable it also positively affects the dynamics at high speeds the sportster are now both more stability on the road. that level of oregon pressed lewis well it's spaciousness in comfort and at a price of less than $27000.00 euros he thinks the subaru will give other brands a run for their money exclaimed. it's different look for spires an interesting alternative to wagons from the major automakers.

less sporty than the previous model the updated laborde is now more of an all rounder and that broader appeal should help the subaru all wheel drive brand attract even more fans. time now for a trip back in time as christophe puts a rare classic from the 1950 s. through his pieces in 1904 friedrich romesh set up shop in berlin as a custom coachbuilder for well heeled customers the post world war 2 era saw a range of convertible 4 door taxis and other models based on the platform of the v.w. beetle. christophe

says in 1957 room edge promised drivers that they would like his new model the lowrance named after its designer that lawrence and they like did big time as its design mirrored the american styling so popular at the time but underneath this beautiful exterior is the v.w. beetles dependable mass production technology. unlike modern cars the beetle did not employ uni body construction so once you remove the beetle shell other bodies could easily be fitted on to the floor pan. in 1950 percent in the base go his 1st model based on the beetle throughout one. $157.00 his company turned out $280.00 units of the handbill special edition

a sensational success. however in 1955 volkswagen had brought out its own sporty beetle derivative and was keen to see it succeed. nothing for christophe says after v.w. launched the karmann ghia its own sports car based on the beetle they tried to make life difficult for even the smallest competitor including row match busch wagon stop supplying him with separate chassis so having to buy complete models was far more expensive and dismantling them was hard work eventually v.w. stop selling him cars altogether. had to resort to middlemen and the black market to get the beatles he needed the. wagon was simply too big to challenge in just the 1st year v.w. made $10000.00 carman units while 4 years production of the lowrance amounted to

just $85.00 units no wonder crafting each individual car required 1200 man hours of lever. will match succeeded in making a car is beautiful on the inside as the outside says christophe some luxury isn't cheerier boasts separately adjustable seats and standard fitted hot air heating with a window defroster and it has a padded dashboard i was staggered safety feature today but a real innovation back then the body parts are all made from a lightweight aluminum and sit on a frame of wood and metal the shape of the body reflects the american way of life that was catching on in europe so this created beetle from berlin came with a panoramic windshield. and tailfin. though the levelly looking lawrence nonetheless remained a european if everything was

a little more elegant and delicate then the american models as but he did. this week 2 tone pink job underlines the graceful italian style contour and customers could order a color combination of their choice. designer baird lawrence was a furniture maker by trade this beauty would be the only car ever created as a favorite to friedrich will match inside the king fully loaded with a petri steering wheel and means he used to give it the aura of a luxury model dal much of all round the room assurances 15 centimeters lower and the v.w. beetle which christoper feels gives it a look very sporty and dynamic unfortunately it doesn't feel that way to drive and it's fitted with a standard beetle engine which is barely generates 30 horsepower is that this car

has been custom ice with fuselage $32.00 carburetors that's up the output to 40 horsepower which chris down thinks is the ok. the souped up 1.2 liter engine lets the car have a top speed of 135 kilometers an hour 25 more than a standard beetle. christo says of the roman warrants was the last german car to combine and individually made our body with reliable series production technology so it's definitely a milestone in automotive history. the wrong message to orange is a really from the good old days when cars were hand crafted and manual labor was still affordable today the 1200 hours it took to produce a single. miracle would translate to over $100000.00 euros in labor costs alone.
