L. s from mercedes and the vast open spaces even the 7 seater looks tiny but dont be fooled it has grown by 8 centimeters to an impressive 5. 21 metres long and 1. 95 white. Its just what a lot of american and chinese customers were asking for but hard to imagine how this will cope with the narrow streets and car parks in european cities. Even so how do other motive journalists like the new g. L. s we collected some 1st impressions of. The other us medals all thomas says what he particularly notices some of the new g. L. s that in. Is relatively agile for its size thats probably because of its new Suspension Technology and thats even true compared to the g. O. P. Which has a shorter wheelbase and is a little more agile but for this long wheelbase he thinks its still fun to drive and when it comes to comfort especially thanks to the air suspension its near the top of his class. With. The researchers mercedesbenz likes to call the g. L. s the s. Class among s. U. V. S and she thinks thats a really good comparison and has just about every feature that has a very attractive design that still radiates elegance im really impressed obviously with the transition to the new platform i had driven g e so i had a pretty good idea that it would be an improvement but for a vehicle of the sauciest it drives a lot more exciting than the old one well its huge i mean i saw it for the 1st time im like wow driving this in europe its yeah i can imagine its more for the American Market its big its very big. Technically the geo lashes closely related to a smaller brother the g l e the share a platform but that she alleges 25 centimeters longer both and she really models are built in the u. S.

Thanks to all wheel drive the t. T. S. Is able to stay in control even in wet conditions its good suspension also helps as it does without exaggerated firmness even in dynamic mode. And you go up to.

The volvo x c 60 is one of the swedish companys most important models the 1st generation dominating the brands worldwide sales for a decade the 2nd generation has been available since 2017 how does the compact s. U. V. Compare. Work of one car to so much as current likes is the engine the 184. 00 kilowatt t. 5 offers proper acceleration once you step on the gas pedal but hes wondering about the decision to build a gasoline powered car here in europe diesels and plug in hybrids which will vote also produces have a significant advantage over this model when it comes to fuel consumption its claimed to be 9. 00 leaders per 100 kilometers but in reality youre going to expect double digits by the end of the you know me. And up parts this is. The x c 60 can accelerate from 0 to 100 Kilometers Per Hour and a brisk 6. 8 seconds its top speed is electronically limited to 220 Kilometers Per Hour in germany the x e 60 starts at above 57000 europes obvious mark to says he usually likes direct steering but what this will has is just a bit too direct for him that said the steering isnt really too direct but combined with the high center of gravity it just seems that way especially when matching the wheel left and right on curves he says it feels like hes being shaken and thats something he doesnt really like.

Not just says thats not all and there are extra cost options like the pilot has his system here the volvo stays in the lane and follows the pace set by the car in front and speeds up to 130 Kilometers Per Hour. Its meant to make driving less stressful especially on the highway. And he thinks that would be very useful in a company car or for people who are on the road a lot for their work. Its a feature that helps them get to their destination and greater comfort. And support. And speaking of comfort the interior offers a mix of aluminum light wood and leather finish to a high standard. Mobster says as beautiful as this car is the x c 60 is not a bargain he shouldnt really be reading and driving but here it says ovo x c 65 a w d inscription this model has a base price of 57450. 00 euros in germany there are quite a few i dish and features in this particular car though so that he wouldnt be paying 6570. 00 or even 75. 00 but 79550 euros for it and this makes him wonder why this is justified for a car where the road noise is so noticeable.
