we are living during the most extraordinary time of history transportable. hopefully electric with read the auto and mobility show lou this week read finds out how cubans keep their vintage cars running and what they mean to families lucky enough to possess one whatever. get on top of course. yep. okay, and all that fits out of what was up. i don't know how to go mother locals. we're also looking at another car phenomenon. the pope mobiles. what makes the pontiff wheels so special? and why is the next one going to be electric? and we'll find out what a manual likes about the new opal, astro. and what really annoys in that little ham sir drumming,

and all knows mc p t barlow. so set your cruise control for another amazing right with reb ah hopes and that pope mobiles for more than 4 decades. the heads of the catholic church have been slowly moving through the crowds in specially designed vehicles. but paypal transport is moving into the 21st century. pope france is, is trading in his current model for something completely new. he'll soon be doing his rounds in a new all electric car california and company fisco will build it especially modified version of its ocean s u v. we showed this guard to the pope an offer drawn because, you know, he always have a big following and he's very interested in sustainability. so he really liked the

idea about a sustainable electric vehicle known for his gas guzzlers. this foray into the world of electric power is a leap of faith for the vatican. pious, the 11th was the 1st pope to take to for wales. and after that, the pope's usually went cruising in specially modified mercedes limousines. pope john paul. the 2nd wanted something different though. he traveled more than his predecessors and wanted to get as close as possible to his flock. mercedes took on the challenge and built him a pike my bail based on its ge e class. mercedes refined the design further and gave him a more advanced, more comfortable version of its m class. but other carmakers also wanted a piece of the pie. among them, the italian manufacturer mancha ah polish truck makers star belt,

the biggest pope may be able to ever show for his holiness spanish carmakers say at came up with the smallest and cadillac belt, the most pimp tout paypal, right? every pope my bail needs 3 things. a raised removable throne for his holiness. a special gearbox was slowly parading the pope through the streets and after an assassination attempt a bullet proof glass enclosed books. francis gave his blessings to the new design in an audience with henrich fisco, the meeting confirmed fiscal faith in the project. groping. it was an amazing event to be able to of course meet the pope and explain of the vehicle what we're doing. and he's very interested in sustainability and he was an engineer for me, it's about doing something in the world where you spread the message out to as many people as possible of getting electric and sustainable. henrich fisco is hard at

work integrating all of the posts requirements into the design held him with a fully vegan in syria and solar panels on the roof. he claims it's the most sustainable vehicle in the world's building. a pope. my bill is a badge of honor for any car maker. pope benedict, the 16th had a fancy for the mercedes, em cloth, volkswagen and b. m. w. tried to win him over with their own designs. but mercedes both seated sir church late on even more luxury retaining the loyalty of the german pope. benedict merely went astray when renaud offered him an electric can do in 2012. but paypal body guards told him the diminutive car presented too much of a security risk. difficult to refuel this hydrogen powered toyota was also relegated to the paypal garage over security concerns. ah, francis is not

a security conscious. once he ditched the pope mobiles all together and climbed into the back of a little theat to 5 hundreds. and in a show of solidarity with the poor, he once went for a ride in a run about from budget brand stature. ever unconventional, frances, now once his next pope may be able to be built by fisco, a man who wants to reinvent the automobile, is as a huge market potential in the lower end of the market. and i don't think it has to be a cheap little, ugly hatchback. i think we can make exciting vehicles as well. fisco can certainly do that. he designed as a date for b, m w. the db 9 for aston martin hands. he used to work for electric car giant, tesla coming up with the design for its sleek model, s. after a falling out with both cielo musk, henrich fisco went his own way through the fisco ocean is his company's 1st mass

produced car. and with 2 more electric vehicles in the pipeline, pisca is taking aim at to tesla. with mask, he still has unfinished business. i don't think we can borrow silver living. we're not here to kill anybody. we are not here to silly. pick a specific competitor. we like to invite anybody in to the fiscal family and have a fiscal vehicle whoever wants to join us. and now the pope is a member of that fiscal family. frances once turned down the gift of a tesla model asked for him, it just wasn't a car of the people. it's a feather in fiscal cap that the pontiff now wants to meet the masses in its ocean . s u v. the 1st all electric poke mobiles certainly won't be the last but 20 cisco maintain it's great on the paypal market. oh, well test i get

a piece of the pie. oh, could jim and carmakers build an electric vehicle that the pope wants to be seen in? if you want more read, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world, breath can make you very happy. vintage classics and future tech or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us that you tube slash dw rep and you'll always be up to speed. it's finally there. then you all put astra. as you can tell,

it doesn't have very much in common with its predecessor. and today we want to find out what is new and how will it match its competitors in that segment. and with that, welcome to laura jane. it's been called the astro since 1991. but the model actually launched in 1936 as the open cadet. the general driving impression in the new astra is really pleasant. it is extremely silent in here, especially for a compact car. the reason for that is that they have a lemonade, it front window, and the side windows are laminated as well, and that way they will keep the noise outside. and i think you really feel that while driving. so i really enjoy the driving experience. you have in that car, not all the competition offered that has standard engine. why? if you have quite the choice with the new us draw, there is a 1.2 liter gasoline engine that comes in different power size is either 110

or 130 horse power. and there is a $130.00 horse power one and a half lease, a diesel engine for those that drive long distances quite regularly. but for those driving longer distances, they're also in the hybrid version. and that is a novelty in the astra. the plug in hybrid it is available with 2 different poly outputs, either 180 horsepower that we're testing right now, or in the bigger version. $225.00 for the power that will come later this year. and for those that don't want any combustion engine in the car, they'll have to wait until 2023. because then the astra will become available as a fully electric battery vehicle. the one of my highlights about the new after us death movie,

the rear. i mean, look at these realize they are very thin and reach very far into the trunk lid, talking about the trunk lid. that one is made from plastic and not from metal. that way you will save a lot of weight and it's of course, easier to handle, at least that's what the designers say. and the 3rd braking light is really nice as well. it's only very small. so compared to the usually you have these long ones and that one is small. it reminds me of a sports car off a race, colorado to say, i really like you the trunk of your blah struck and fit between 422 and around 1340 leaders. the plugin hybrid version is 70 lead us below that simply because of the battery on the trunk. it as 12.4 kilowatt hours of energy. and that way you will be able to go around 60 kilometers purely electric. if you only drive in the city, then you and go more than 75 according to

w l t p v w. gulf has over a 100 leaders less trunk space. by the way, this isn't the 1st time we're driving the new aster. a few months ago we got to test out the pre production car and give opal engineers our feedback during the validation drive, i had the impression that the steering was way too soft. you had no feedback from the road. and i also told that to the guys from opal, and they said they will definitely take this into consideration when working on the final car. and now i can tell you they did. this is way better. you have contact with the road, you feel the resistance when you tried to steer and that's exactly what i would like from a car during the validation drive. i was not able to show you the interior. i

was not allowed, i had seen it. and now you can see it as well. this is what it looks like. i think it's really good looking. you have 210 inch this place. one is the instrument cluster and the other one is the infotainment system. you can optimally get those with some glass over them, which makes them look even more high quality, but they will not have big display. so those are standard in every astra version. and i really like that fact apart from that, you have the steering wheel with some buttons for the most important functions and some buttons right below the infotainment system. for the most important functions as well. for example, climate control, feed heating and feed cooling, which the astra also has as an option. you don't see that very often in the cloth and other functions as well. and i really like that. so if you compare that, for example, to be w golf or say it's lay on, they don't any buttons or anything you're looking for,

you need to find in the infotainment system by the touch screen. and i'm not a friend of that. so very well done. open other competitors like audi, and honda also kept the button being i mentioned during the validation drive that i didn't like was the sound of the indicator and back then i thought okay, this is like some testing sound. they will change when the finished car comes onto the market. and guess what? the sound is still the same. it's a little less loud than it was in the test car. but it's still the same. it's not that little hamster drumming on those empty p t bottles. it is that much different from the sounds he usually he and other cars, but i guess after a while you will get used to what a car now day needs is. of course i head up display and the straw has that. what i

really like about it is not only does it look good, but it's also easy to operate so you can adjust it via the same button that you use to adjust your side mirrors. so if you ask me that is quite intuitive and i in some of the founded when i looked at that button. so i like the idea of opa that not too high that i don't know behind the steering wheel or in some menu optional. and tell me a locked l e d pixel headlights enable the astra to shine light around corners without blinding. anyone. thanks to 100. 68 single l e. b element. the system also automatically dims the hybrid. who's thing that is really good about the hybrid astra? if you can preserve range, you can simply do that by the menu right here. you press save, and then you can choose either 1020 all the maximum kilometers. so for example,

if you're driving on the highway and you know, your trip is gone and in a zone where you're only allowed to drive purely electric and such, a zones will definitely come in the future and biggest cities. then you can simply preserve range and you will be fine. just as with its predecessors, the new aster. it will also be available as a station wagon, the sports tour, as it's called, features the same engines as the standard astra. and will also be available as a purely electric model in 2023 billing. the gap in the station wagon market. my final verdict on the new opal astra. 88th, the perfect car. if you ask me a looks very good, it has a lot of new technical stuff inside and it also had a lot of amenities. and despite all of that, open managed to keep the price the same. as with the predecessor, we're talking about 22500 euros in germany, and that is a very good price. if you consider that an entry level, golf, for example,

will cost you at least $28500.00 euro ah and oh no i, i don't know anybody who are who got on these. i it? yeah, i'm a little undergo me from frontier denali wonderful because i went and got a modem in india when i go saw sante fe, sante fe, eagle, l mother, burtchel, normal daughters, muffled renting as a faulty gulf. l model o to he not in gorge integrate. i thought all of them up here some more and more
