we said there was never giving up every weekend on d w. i don't think anyone had ever thought that the once in a century transformation of the old industry would be a straight line. the japanese common effect armada, the very well known for its rob, small and compact causes, months to, to 3, cx, 30, and so on. and when they brought out the cx, 60, everyone was quite surprised, and now they taking it a step further, the cx,

80. that's the model right next to me and almost 5 me to long s u v with up to 7 seats and what else has got to offer? we'll check it out right now. welcome to read the cx. ac is based on the sco active, multi solution, scalable architect, chest, the vehicles with allow me to know engine layouts and with its 3 rows of seats is the largest and most spacious vehicle in masters, european product range when it comes to drive train. so you can choose between the plugin hybrid and the diesel version. we're testing the plugin hybrids right here. it has a system output of $327.00 horsepower. while the diesel will have $250.00 for the purely electric arrange for the plugin hybrid is around 60 kilometers, which is not exactly that high. if you compare that to most of the plug in high rates on the market nowadays, they will have around 100 kilometers, a purely like particular range. about 60 kilometers is still better than nothing.

the, the top speed of the plug in a hybrid version is 195 kilometers an hour, while the diesel version will take you up to 219 kilometers an hour. the, the general driving impression in the cx 80 is really good. exactly. what you would expect in the big, luxurious s u, v 8 is silent on the interior. it is very soft and comfortable when it comes to suspension. of course, it is not exactly sporty, but i don't think months of idea was to create as 40 s. u v, so that's absolutely okay. cx. ac schools with extensive stunted equipments, the info attainment system, l e d headlights, who start to assist emergency brake,

assist, lane changes, the tire pressure monitoring system, and lights and rating senses. just some examples. the interior model cars is always very appealing to me. you have very high quality, everything looks and touches really good advice. each of the cx, 80 has asked to drive a personalization system that will recognize you with the camera. so the moment you take a seat, it will see uh, it's a manual and then it will adjust the seating position. the steering wheel, your side view mirrors, but also the climate control and the sound system. if you set your preferences and then you won't have to do that again, the moment you getting the call, it will see it's you and then adjust everything. and that's pretty nice.

i actually would expect from an s u v that is almost 5 meter in length. there is a lot of space head room is okay. like room is also absolutely okay. the seats. uh comfortable. you have a nice cop holder right here with a little table that you can full way if you don't need it, by the way, the cx, 80 stand, the comes as a 7 seater. those succeed configurations that we have right here is off to know from the higher trim levels. so if you want it, you can choose it and it doesn't cost extra in the higher levels. of course, all you can keep the 7 seats if you need them. the pots on that can adjust the bag, rest of the seats to be a little more to the back. give you more of a relaxed feeling. of course you will have to be sure that that's the one behind you. otherwise, it will hurt the nice as expected, the car is big,

but not that big. so right back here it is suitable for smaller children. but for people that uh i'd say bigger than one meters. 60. that's nothing you would want to be sitting in for more than a 100 kilometers. i adjusted the seat in front, so i could sit there. still good, not ideally by good, and that's what i'm left with. there's almost no like room left. of course you half your legs, raw, the fold it together. the head room is ok, but as i said, this is not for tall people. it's a short ones or 4 children. the prices for the premium s t. v still sits 55300 year. rise to the 2nd hybrids. and just save of $59000.00 zeroes. so the diesel, the just as most of

the modern cars. the cx. 80 peaches, a huge array of driver assistance systems. and what that means is if you drive too fast or if you drive over the line or do anything else that the car does like you will be greeted with a beeping sound. they want you about that. that can be quite annoying, but mazda has a very nice solution to that, because right next to the steering wheel, you will find the little button that has a little car and it with a circle around it. we're presenting the driver assistant systems and a small speaker that is bar. so what that button does is it mutes all assistance systems by just pressing it and then everything will be peacefully silent. if you press the button again, the sounds are re enabled and the car is again able to warn you and not just by visual master offers the new cx, ac in 5 different equipment levels. oh grades full variance come equipped with an 8

speed, automatic transmission. and all wheel drive it's talking about the average consumption, the plugin hybrid is rated at 1.6 meters for 100 kilometers and of course electric energy. and once the battery is empty it will climb up to $8.00. lita. so it's not exactly made for long distance trips, while the diesel, on the other hand is re that that's 5.75.8 need is for 100 kilometers according to w l t p. and that makes it very suitable for long distance trip. the new trailer hitch view makes it easier to hook up a trailer by displaying it on the central 12.3 inch, infotainment touch screen. coming up my cx, 80 experience, i have to say the car is really comfortable. everything is of very high quality. the crossman shipping, the interior is very nice and considering the entry level of price of on the $56000.00 euros, that is a very good offer,

especially if you compare that's to all the costs in that segment. for example, bmw w, x 7, arm receipt is g, l e that start at 9205000 euro, which is almost double the price. and to me that doesn't make any sense. i mean, you can get a lot of extra isn't that cost to make you feel almost the same and then you will still have a lot of money left. and what's even better bots always give 6 years or 150000 kilometers of warranty. and you won't find that will be in w, obviously it is. oh no, the mazda cx. ac is a spacious high quality fcc with a lot of standard equipment at every is level price. on the downside, the purity electric range is no great and fuel consumption with the factory mt as well. the high semester is not as high quality as a bmw, mercedes. but in terms of bang po box, it beats both of those gem and caused by a mile

thing to electric vehicles are taking over well think again, internal combustion engines, the employees to make a roaring combat. so these are still grabbing the headlines. the electric cars are having a moment to the demand for electric vehicles as booming worldwide sales of electric vehicles are projected to boot over the next few years. so why our drivers and carmakers doubling down on icy ease despite the climate crisis, the will is waking up and change is coming. whether you live case or not. fueled by a modern day gold rush, companies and government board billions into the market, driven by grand promises of a cleaner, greener future. but now as the sales plateau, some of the industries biggest players are retreating from their vicious promises.

europe's biggest comic or volkswagen is considering closing factories for the 1st time and it's history electric vehicles from china or cutting into its market share and high energy costs make manufacturing in germany uncompetitive because the, the big party that this industry has enjoyed and from which german manufacturers long benefited is over. so and i don't think anyone had ever thought that the ones in a sensory transformation of the industry would be a straight line. there will be peaks and troughs, but it's not just a german problem. other european carmakers pay similar headaches, like reno numbers. the truth is we are not yet on the right trajectory to a cheap 100 percent electric cars by 2035. if customers don't follow us, we're all responsible. we need to cut costs. the global use share

in terms of sales, slowing down and customer adoption rate, not as high as expected just a few years ago. the results forward is axing its electric 3 ro, s u, v, and domain and next gen pickup plus it's committing to future gas and diesel models, citing a lack of consumer interest and fully electric cars. this sudden shift casts down on the sustainability and the immediacy of the revolution. are we witnessing a retreat from overly optimistic promises? is the widespread adoption of electric cars, truly feasible, or a dream too far? the welcome to the electric car, the future spot where the gasoline producers of america i

did go very, very switching to eaves aims to cut carbon footprints, reduce reliance on limited resources and fight the climate crisis. the vision was clear, electric vehicles would be the ultimate solution to our environmental waters. in greenville was born out of this necessity to protect tele plants, take the electric vehicles section. it is a crucial industry for the clean economies with a huge potential in your major players like the us, china and the you have implemented laws and incentives to boost e v adoption aiming to phase out. i see vehicles by 2035. but this transformation isn't merely a technological shift. it's a complex dance involving geo politics. economics and infrastructure electric will

be, has a very high probability to become the main floor for boston. and if you miss this window of opportunity out of by sticking too much on the old, then that might be coming next. essential problem even before the lock for the launch chimes of the industry, the tvs look to have a bright future world wide sales just kept growing until 2024 when they started to stagnate, plug in hybrids, and dicey e saw a resurgence. big car brands read the writing on the wall and began walking back there and vicious as targets in germany knew the registrations are set to fall for the 1st time by just under 14 percent in 2024. that's mainly because subsidies and tax breaks were rolled back. these play

a direct role in e v adoption the, the recent decline in e. v could safe say is months over months. certainly has been influenced by the main site, just the reduction of government subsidy, easy money market because they made the products very attractive. not only a fund that helps us, but also from a psychologically sick in the old quote and our tend to the emergency in europe or in germany. we're seeing that plans for eaves are being scaled back or slowed down repeatedly. so the order, of course, this is also related to the current slow down in sales, or since you know, one on sold car standing around on your parking lot. this one listed as much as if i put the condition of divorced, a shifting tvs isn't as straightforward as it see. there are 2 major hurdles for e. v. adoption prices are are a little bit high for e,

v. e's in and people are choosing to deal with that in the marketplace. you know, they're choosing other, you know, other solution. the product offerings are out stripping the t v, charging infrastructure available. but it's not all doom and gloom projections, suggested eas could make up 50 percent of global passenger car sales by 2035 and 70 percent. by 2040. however, i see vehicles won't disappear overnight. they're long life cycles means they'll be on the roads for decades to come. while the likes of canada, south korea in the us, sit and fishes target phase out, ice east. the us and china have yet to commit to specific timelines. the despite initiatives like to buy it and administrations funding for the infrastructure. the reality is that

building the systems takes time in europe. countries like germany and a u. k. have modified their the mandates due to political changes highlighting the complexities of this transition. china, on the other hand, is aggressively pushing for e v adoption leveraging it's huge manufacturing capacities and state assistance as a situation in china. s great deal east greatly influencing the roads, comma, because it's a demonstrate that on one end of uh for how many applications electric vehicles um now upfront a ton of the for consumers, for legacy carmakers jeep chinese eves had been a wake up call in the us and europe, governments are sending off chinese in boards with terrorists. but in these 2 mass markets, that's making affordable, leaves less affordable,

putting another dent any the adoption. can you look at china, which is the world's largest current market, and they've been going gang busters at e b 's as well. and so you look at these 2 markets that are going to need these, and then you look at the us market and say, well, okay, if we're going to be competitive in that space, we need to be looking at tvs as well. the terrorists are seen as protecting traditional automakers, who's eaves are big and pricey. most offer no entry level electric cars for under $20000.00 euros. unlike their chinese competitors, the government's around the world are tightening fuel economy standards and setting ambitious targets for e. b adoption by 2031 auto makers in the us most ensure their fleets average 50.4 miles per gallon. up from the 49 miles per gallon required by 2026. the meeting,

those goals will require that 35 to 56 percent of the vehicle sold be fully electric by 2030 to put such policies change with each new administration the i think you could see some of those policies were reversed or change like the the regulations could change, which might slow down the transition from ice tvs so the automakers would be required to sell all fewer eaves to offset the ice vehicles. the legacy automotive brand, such as mercedes, gm and volkswagen for struggling to break with old values. and we think their business models,

they're developing new strategies and response to market dynamics and consumer preferences. that is where it's a good position to be in where your factor is can be able to both be these, but also high tech, electrified combustion vehicles. so we have the flexibility in our production system, but we're also reading the next generation of vehicles. mercedes and v w have put the brakes on their plans to be fully electric by 2030, reflecting a broader industry trend. the strategic pause allows them to further refine their i c. e models, while keeping an eye on consumer attitudes towards eaves. if you're a well run company, you try and may have supply with demand overbuild leaves and there isn't the supply for them. they sit down the lots and lots of reasons. you see the electric plug that speeds that would take us from point a to the future would be dictated by that

speed between consumer. volkswagen has earmarked tens of billions of bureaus for the development of internal combustion engines. this shift is driven by consumer hesitancy towards the bees, their high cost concerns overcharging, infrastructure and range anxiety. some models, lots to adding to v w as was our weaker sales in china. there, the brand is seen as old school entertainment and fund designs are lacking. so the car maker is slashing production that it's 1st on the plant, yvonne, where the load started right now we've gone from being an import and load started to an important size my graph that sick all plants and sacks. and he has produced electric cars exclusively since 2020 b. w invested 1200000000 euros to convert the factory fixed. technically, we're in a position to build 360000 units a year. currently or output is around $240000.00. that means one 3rd fewer

cars are leaving the factory and entire shift has been eliminated. among the employees, concern is spreading. the brands are balancing their push for each of these with continued investment in i, c, e, and hybrid technology. still, if they missed the gold rush, that's the new e v market. they may never recover. i don't think that we have many years away. we have the not only half price barre fee between i see a better electric vehicles. but in the next 2 community even becomes cheaper, ford is also hedging its pads instead of leaves. this plant in canada will build a f series, super duty pickups. ford is spending $2300000000.00 to install assembly and integrated staffing operations. and it's complex in oakville, ontario,

the toyota, toyota, toyota, toyota, toyota. the world's biggest car company has adopted a cautious approach to known for its hybrids. toyota only recently entered the market with a b z for x, which had one of the worst they used imaginable. find the goal and so it's a toyota. many of the company see the hybrid is an interim or a transitory solution. but it doesn't look like toyota will be abandoning internal combustion engines any time soon. they see the future as being i c e plus electric, along with mazda in subaru, toyota calls this. a multi pathway approach focuses on refining. i see. so they can be used with electric motors and eagles for carbon neutrality.

because toyota is a full line and global company, we cannot leave anybody behind. that is the determination we have in that sense we have this approach called multi passed away, and we have to take it toyota is focusing on maintaining a range of power, train options to meet varying consumer needs. for decades, toyota corolla has been one of the world's best selling cards as the these gain traction in developed countries, less industrialized regions still rely heavily on icy vehicles due to cost and infrastructure constrain. toyota has that big on hybrid, and i see technology an approach that works for them to at least for now the trap. have you ever seen the but the big

danger is that you overestimate the potentially in this i would say very ripens much you. what the chronology and that you forget to invest in the future will have to wait to see of toyota's gamble pays off in the long run the, the future of internal combustion engines isn't a simple narrative of obsolescence, despise the global push towards electrification. i've, the vehicles will remain relevant, especially in regions with slower e v adoption race, the loan life cycles, advice the vehicles mean they'll be on the road for decades. as ongoing. technological advances are making these engines more efficient and powerful. the industry is moving towards a diversified approach to portfolio balancing the benefits of the bees with the

continued development of i, c, e, and hybrid technologies. what you're seeing now is a slight, didn't right on the road to the electrical ability, because to whomever you're talking the industry in the medium to the, the pos, towards a sustainable mobility will in many, many, many use cases be electric. what we should involve, we can not stop progress of clicking on that. okay. so and, and electric cars will be, you know, lumina technology in europe. so we'll, electric vehicles, really kill the internal combustion car. the answer is a soft. no, but the shift the, these is inevitable driven by environmental imperatives and technological advances . though, as we've seen, i've seen the vehicles will keep running strong, particularly in regions with slower ag adoption rates. yet carmakers slow to

switch gears in this ever changing markets could find themselves stranded by the roadside and out of gas and more automotive tales next time on risk the the the
