final porsches detlef from plotkin is pleased to see that formula he has become a racing series now in its 6th season and getting more competitive mercedes b.m.w. an audi are there too and typically porsche men are as he puts it they're not going in like kings but rather starting over from scratch and just playing along with the others. unlike most other carmakers toyota is holding its course for the future with hydrogen in los angeles after the premiere in tokyo it presented the 2nd generation mariah. the premier toyota reserve for elway was of a new plug in hybrid version of its prime for its the 2nd toyota after the prius with an all electric range up to 60 kilometers. toyota's luxury vehicle division lexus presented its new l c 500 convertible powered initially with
12:39 am
an old school but ripped 5 leader v 8 naturally aspirated engine. yet even in america the new age of electric drive is moving ever closer so it shouldn't be too long before the hybrid drive available for the coup play is offered for the convertible as well. the decision to buy an issue is not usually based on logic who really needs high ground clearance and off road capability is so much more about the finding an ever more regulated world with a sense of adventure and the look to go with it if you like the music you 3 would want to more extravagant appearance audi now has a sporty aggressive alternative in its range the q 3 sport back. at the artistry. while shaffer says the q 3 sport back logically should have been named
12:40 am
a q 4 but audi is already working on the e tron family and the name q 4 is reserved for that i like rick s.u.v. so this one got to name 23 scored back but it's a much more in a simple q 3 with a tapered rear end. and i have made that up if they can take. their sport back is the 1st audi to get a new 1.5 liter t.f.s. i gasoline engine with $48.00 volt hybridisation and a starter generator the boost function frees up an additional mine kilowatts and 50 new meters of torque when starting and it moves speeds for up to 10 seconds. the manual says the q 3 sport bag falls into the category of c. you v. or crossover this mostly consists of vehicles that are based on
12:41 am
a sedan platform and just look like an issue of any off road technology as you may have usually falls away at least in part and 4 wheel drive is only optional but with a c. you have any off road capability is not the main selling point it's the higher seating position in combination with a life style factory a coupe a like exterior design is a decent pay to have also these i. in fact only the hood and front fenders are identical to those on the regular q 3 the roof is almost 3 centimeters lower and contrast to the other as you remodels by audi the q 3 sport backs which is out the vertical bars in the single frame grille for a high gloss black honeycomb structure. the windshield. it's flatter and the doors have been redesigned to accentuate the
12:42 am
fender flavors. this ford back to rear has been stretched a little to 4.5 meters longer than the normal q 3. there are no great differences in the interior everything is finished with the usual high audi quality the digital instrument cluster is available and 2 different versions. optional link there is a phone box in which a compatible smartphone can be charged wirelessly.
12:43 am
we're testing the q 3 sport back with the more powerful of the 2 diesel units it delivers $140.00 kilowatts and accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour and 8.3 seconds the top speed is 217 kilometers per hour. by a man who says a drawback was sloping roof lines his shoes fully the minimal rearview he thinks that's not such a big problem in the q 3 sport back of him and he seen much worse but he doesn't know why the rear parking sensors cost extra a lot of things needed it c. and i had x. the cost. of the fargo was. by the way he says sloping roof lines often take their toll on the passenger's head so we'll see if that's the case only q 3 sports back.
12:44 am
emanuel doesn't really have anything to complain about the design hasn't taken its toll on headroom at least not here in the backseat the things look a little different in the truck where capacity is reduced by more than 100 leaders but with rear seats folded down there's still over 500 leaders. in contrast to the normal q 3 the sport back comes with sports suspension is standard along with progressive steering. the all wheel drive in our model means unpaved roads aren't a problem but you'll probably want to avoid rougher terrain to protect your alloy rims. saying it's no wonder the sport bag isn't much different technologically from the normal q 3 the engine range is largely identical it costs about $600.00 euros more
12:45 am
but it also comes with features like audi drive select and standard and if you take these and do a count then the q 3 sport back doesn't cost more than the normal q $3.00 he thinks that's unusual because people are usually willing to pay extra for design and lifestyle features. as. the q 3 sport back starts of 36000 euros in germany. barcelona is known as one of europe's most innovative cities. if you know i don't know to journalists lu is campo attended the smart city expo in barcelona and as the name implies it's about the cities of the future as well as the mobility of tomorrow so he wanted to find out what that means. it was the man.
12:46 am
time the smart city expo world congress has attracted international visitors to barcelona their goal was to understand development concepts politically to change herbert mobility while improving the quality of life and reducing environmental footprint with concepts that combine technical economic and social innovation. for local mobility like on a university campus there's the easy 10 easy mile at thomas bus is intended to supplement already existing transport systems up to 15 people can ride there is no driver the electric vehicle also needs no special infrastructure is simply follow specified routes. who he says the expo doesn't just focus on individual mobility public transport is also an important issue his 1st impression of his driving bus is that the absence of a driver takes some getting used to the whole time you're afraid it might run into
12:47 am
something that it doesn't. spanish carmakers say that has already seen the signs of the times in addition to the mean electric perfectly can see for the city as a small locally missions free city runabout it announced a new business unit to be responsible for urban mobility solutions. for you see you have marketing director jason gursky says he had urban mobility is a further elaboration of c s core brand offering completely new usage concepts and products in the field of micro mobility that means electrically powered vehicles which are especially practical in urban environments like. the motorcycles or even concepts like the. mini mo here he says these are completely new concepts for getting around town and lending greater dynamism and movement to cities plagued by traffic champs and so. it also is involved in car sharing even and regular cars
12:48 am
. the new all electric scooter is another vehicle tailored to urban mobility it's said to go on the market in 2020 it can accelerate to 50 kilometers per hour in 3.8 seconds and should have a range of up to 115 kilometers. the mini mo as a concept of an enclosed electric city vehicle seating 2 people. seem to have presented its d g t 3.0 pilot project in collaboration with spain's transport authority high speed networks to allow the vehicles to communicate in real time with traffic lights and traffic management systems they can bypass traffic jams accidents and construction sites this new type of traffic management has
12:49 am
a positive impact on traffic flow and traffic safety and improves the driving experience in the city. i say out as well lewis says see it doesn't expect private ownership of 4 wheeled cars to be the future mobility is key word is shared mobility. says this applies to all its vehicles the kick scooter is also a dead private individuals as well as fleet and sharing services this is already the 2nd generation with a range of over 65 kilometers over 10000 of the predecessor models were sold. of course the many electric cars in town must also be supplied with energy for this purpose the charging infrastructure urgently needs improvement these charging stations are true all rounders because they have a variety of common connections and also offer a quick. sarge function the fair also provided
12:50 am
a good overview of charging options for home. that's not luis's 2 topics dominated the expo one was autonomy's driving with the focus on local traffic the other was shared mobility he says it will be interesting to see how this will develop in cities in the next few years because everything is progressing at a rapid pace nearly $25000.00 visitors from $146.00 countries visited the smart city expo this year underlining the importance of achieving a future urban environment in harmony with nature. so i put the car tester julian knows the mercedes g. class has been around for 40 years and i know the lecturer a cross-country vehicle has been a very worried that it may seem like no more than
12:51 am
a very thorough facelift for the for 63 series of design languages much the same and he wonders what exactly has changed. at 1st glance the new versions hardly changed at all it's just as boxy and under streamlined as ever the round headlights and fender mounted turn signals now seem almost retro. the g. class is sizable enough that it's easy to overlook the 6 extra centimeters and with and 5 extra centimeters in length but inside the extra space is very noticeable. and the 1st thing anyone notices about the rear is the spare tire the taillights look small and narrow on that vast rear.
12:52 am
the phoebe the julians discovered they have as much as this g. class resembles the older models outside it's radically different inside and in terms of the ride quality and it's no surprise that a car maker like mercedes will apply its own technological innovations to me customers expectations for the g. class and pushing them at status as. a glance inside reveals a greater resemblance to the s. or any class interiors i knew steering wheel spin mountain with touch control buttons for the 2 generous 12.3 inch display in the center of the dash or controls that in just the actuals for when the g. class goes on forever if it gets a bit too bouncy for whoever is riding shotgun there's a handle to hold onto the leather seats have good workmanship and enough comfort
12:53 am
for a long journey. julia list the hood for a look at the 4 leader v. a twin turbo engine familiar from the previous model as well as the g.t. it puts out 310 kilowatts and holds the g class from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in under 6 seconds a respectable time for a $2.00 ton cross-country vehicle. the 4 leader v 820 brings the g 500 confidently almost casually up to speak with a thoroughly satisfying deep coming roar even if the engine swiftly reaches 100 and hits top speed in just 210 kilometers per hour the car maker reads field. sumption
12:54 am
at a thursday $11.00 leaders per 100 kilometers and germany the g $500.00 starts at a hefty 110000 euros. julian focuses on ride quality noting that sitting high you have gives him a good overview of the vehicles immediate vicinity as boxy as the chief 500 may seem is easy to get a feel for its perimeters it derives from steers much like any other car although it's wait and watch the shape are noticeable and curves i know. it's $2.00 tons of the road forcibly in focus it's motion straight ahead if necessary the electronic stability program takes quick and concerted action driving that she $500.00 can be compared with regular s.u.v. this is a genuine all terrain vehicle that again julian points out that a sporty driving style will inevitably mean very high fuel consumption when he
12:55 am
pushes the gas pedal only half way down he can watch the consumption gauge leap to 2030 or even 40 liters per 100 kilometers for every day driving it may ease a buyer's conscience to choose the in-line 6 cylinder diesel version but that might take a little bit away from the driving fun. the throwing sounding v 8 made such an impression on the tester he doesn't even want to get out again. but now it's time to sum up. because overall julian likes the g 500 quite a lot he's addicted to that v 8 sound that mercedes has preserved from the very 1st model she classes only freshening up the car from time to time the effect is to make it a real icon among off roaders like the fuel consumption the price. it is
