The v. W. Push side is the most successful midsize in the world more than 30000000 of them have been sold since it was introduced in 1973 b. H. Generation of the model has been given a facelift and is ready for launch the only problem says our car to so young but here is that some would say little or nothing has changed and when it comes to the exterior youre right that changes are under the hood and the new push side is the 1st car to carry the latest generation m. I be 3 Modular Infotainment and the 1st with a used travel a say so in the catchwords are always on updates over the air connected services a voice activated and partially automated driving young once did i try it out in the isnt gonna. Be me up. The range of technical changes may be why. Changed a little. Slightly. And a pair of redesigned headlights. In back. Has been moved to the middle of. The exhaust trim has been reworked as have the tail lights. Says the percentage cant blame him up yet but the interior is packed with digital bells and whistles does not come as sure as will instantly notice the analog clock is gone and doesnt fit in the bright new Digital World but yon is focusing on the mit 3 every precise now comes equipped with a sim card so the car is always online and that brings a whole range of advantages the cars system can be updated wirelessly like a smartphone and the vehicle can also receive traffic updates in real time speech recognition is intuitive so you dont have to use standardized commands but can just talk to the car. I dont. Want to. Hear how he demonstrates telling the person that hes hungry and it replies by providing a list of restaurants in the area and asking him to choose one yawn decides its time for a quick bite. Although the Modular Infotainment system is new the v. W. Engineers didnt touch the cockpits fundamental structure customers do however now have a wider range of upholstery and trim colors to choose from. Along with the mit 3 d. W. Has also done a lot to his collection of drivers his systems which are now consolidated under the name i drive a new app is the travel is his system which allows level to automate in driving a fully autonomys car where passengers dont have to do a thing but sit back and relax would be classified as level 5. Like beaming says yeah but thats still quite a way down the road the new push side has levelled to autonomy the system can take over steering but the driver is still responsible for what the car does and is required to monitor try. And the system and take control when necessary the travel assist system is activated via a button on the Steering Wheel after pressing it the person begins following the lane and automatically braking when traffic is approaching a speed limit change or an intersection or action is coming up says he afterwards it accelerates again to an appropriate speed. The system has a speed range of 0 to 210 kilometers an hour and works on highways and country roads of a car uses radar to measure distances and cameras to track lane markings he travels system also has access to navigational data and road sign david as a counterweight so control strategy. It works fine as long as the capacity of steering senses the drivers hands on the we hope. And thats been a hit man says that hes someone who easily gets enthusiastic about technical developments and the system functions very well but he also likes driving himself and has to admit that in the course of the day when he turned on the travel with his system he was much more tense than when he was in control thats because you have to keep an eye on the system all the time he says and. Good even if i want. You know. Most wagon has also worked over the adaptive Suspension System and shock absorbers along with the standard comfort normal in sports settings you can now find 2 in the driving experience by choosing from a range of 15 intermediate setting. Dances volkswagen has never been a pioneer when it comes to installing new technology in his current. Cars other manufactures adopted more quickly but when we double the doesnt stop what he says and the systems will generally function very well in our intuitive to use and thats the case with the new president as well which has now caught up with the times with the addition of the m. I. B 3 and travel wishes to stops. This is the b. M. W. 430 i convertible the bavarian car maker launched the 4 series in 2013 as a successor to the more luxurious 3 series and its been a resounding success more than 400000 of them have been sold worldwide since now alongside the coupe a and grand prix models the convertible is meant to draw even more customers to a brand known for its good handling but it also weighs 225 kilograms more than its cousins will it live up to the image. Our car to still is kind of posed as that despite as 1900 kilograms the convertible is quite sporty you notice the extra waving curves of course but it doesnt particularly bother him. The convertible resembles the rest of the series closely though it has been given the twin headlights and fog lights the front security has also been all. The models long hood makes the b. M. W. Look both dynamic and elegant and the snapper rocks blue paint job on it was his car makes it even snazzier though buyers would have to shell out the 100. 00 euros for the extra standards for the lecture in line include chrome highlights on the body which give the 430. 00. I find one jury is free of b. M. W. s hallmark l. Shaped l. E. D. Taillights complete the picture in fact. It takes at least 20 seconds to open or close the section to our top roof. Thanks to the reworked improved variable sports steering the b. M. W. Takes corners and curves of the greatest of these. Sites to do a sound check. The 2 leader 4 cylinder twin turbo engine puts out 185. 00 kilowatts of power and tops out at 350. 00 newton metres of torque it can hit 100 kilometers an hour from a standstill and 6. 3 seconds its top speed is 250 kilometers an hour. But lewis is impressed by the sound design behind the 4 cylinder engine he thinks itll appeal to people who like sports cars one disadvantage of fooling hard tops compared to soft tops is the added weight opening and closing one also takes longer and in the 430. 00 i you cant be moving faster than 18 kilometers an hour and with a top down cargo volume in the convertibles already small. Trunk drops even further from 370 leaders to 220 thats a reason why b. M. W. Will probably opt for a soft top again in the models next generation. Optics luiss the 430. 00 i has convinced him and that it bridges the gap between sportiness in comfort and feel safe in the curves even when you push it he says but its an experience youll have to pay for. The 430 i convertible started selling at 60000 euros in germany and the cheapest version before 20 i is just 10000 less. The 7th generation alexis c. D. s has been out since the spring of 2018 this stylish japanese midsize sedan is a familiar sight in many parts of the world its a bit more rare in europe where it only debuted in 2019 to compete with the audi a 6 b. M. W. Has 5 series and the mercedes e. Class but only the hybrid version is available here the 1st. Time. What enters card testing is patriot about the newcomer is for one of the design but also was due about the technology that she starts on the outside so on here. A grip on the door handle unlocks it without a key the right touch in the right place watch it again. Has a lot to inas thats consistent with top of the line luxury. Inside the iesus neatly arranged control seems fairly straightforward with a sleek less is more design. The finally worked aluminum trim running around the interior was inspired by traditional japanese swords the engine starts at the press of a but. Very little can be seen of its hybrid character aside from the green ready light that indicates all systems are go in the car. My car was a miss calls up a screen on the 12. 00 inch multifunction display that shows each individual component as well as the energy flow past it. Ok the im still she can select the various menu items on this touch sensitive trackpad the cursor not only jumps to the next item on its own but gives both audible and happy or tangible feedback i want she says thats cool but if you have to enter a long street name you have to drag the cursor all over the place to pick out each letter. And im. Like just gave the 300. 00 a chance latest generation hybrid drive it combines a new 2 and a half meter gasoline engine with a more compact yes more powerful electric motor new transmission and a new battery the whole system together puts out 160. 00 kilowatts a new hybrid system controller delivers a more even acceleration much like with a conventional engine short stretches can be covered at low speeds on all electric drive. I just this work really fits that another fee change discourages really cool is the push button change of alignment of the central Digital Movement to the right to make a little more space to the left eye thats very convenient when you want to see displays for the drivers insists they appear to the left of the dial. Actually in is have already seen this feature in the r. C. S. But here its another touch of 1st class watch from. The dynamic radar Cruise Control in tandem with the lane keeping assist make for a nearly automated driver support the car just said speed to the vehicle immediately ahead even figuring in a sudden stop and independent acceleration but ultimately. Intro of the vehicle remains with the driver. Moving back outside yes the contour seem to flow back from the groom across the car above and below the l. E. D. Headlights wrap around to the sides and blend in seamlessly with the body shape. The newly yes as 5 centimeters to the wheel base the roofline t. Pers off to the rear like on a cooping the body design directly affects the space inside theres plenty of lake room but taller occupants might feel a bit squeamish to but. The taillights to wrap gracefully around the rear corners. Its a snap to unlock and open the trunk remotely because the batteries have shrunk and are now placed under the rear seats theres 454 liters of cargo space back here but they cant be expanded as the rear seat backs cant be lowered. Emissions test car has the f. Sport trimline its highlights or sporty accents on the body and in the interior it also includes 2 extra driving modes in addition to the normal and eco setting. Out there even is says the sport and sport plus modes can be selected via this control and that if you activate them the gas pedal grows much more responsive as does the steering that she has that the Paddle Shifters on the Steering Wheel. I why even take control of shifting if you want to thank you about that for the money. And all cyprus in. So whats the bottom line. Day in and says the design of the s. In history fake and she has to say that she almost prefers the exteriors to the interior because it has such beautiful lines and the export hybrid that she tested has plenty of juice she says but it isnt really the car for you if you like to put the pedal to the metal because it has a top speed of only 180 kilometers an hour. Or. Our car test a model shaffer says hes in spain or the home of say where hell explore how would the other car makers to produce its very own family of this u. V. s which includes the term rocco you take it and the smallest of the a room where did those names come from hes on the road to find out. It helps to know that spaniards are very proud of their home like. This it isnt a minimalist says were driving the taco seance largest s. U. V. In the place they gave the vehicle its name the city a town to go into its with but now were going to isnt the same as to rocco is it yes actually it is over 2000 years ago when the romans conquered this city they called it. Over the course of time latin word to rocco morphed into todays name that are going to be about. The sear groom a roman tracker racing horses and chariots has remained from that here it has become a popular tourist site. That we know where they started in 73. Far as we know the construction last. 20 years called was a very large city because it was the capital city of the province we know that there where 40000 inhabitants. 30000. 00 in the course of. This Historic Site is where the money well is beginning his trip through the history of c. N. C. Is u. B. S. The spanish carmakers 1st design came in the year 2000 with the songs. Some features from the scar that we still have in the d. N. A. From all around for example the connection in the one in the 2nd attempt at the class was the tribal which appeared in 2007. It has a very robust aspect especially because of the wheel arches this square this with arches is something we have almost the same in the attic right now and finally the last in the group was the action 2011. We were already trying to find personality. In the eyes of our cars and this is definitely right now in all our as serious. As this model says its interesting to trace how designs changed and developed over the years and notice that the last one is quite close to what we see today and say its an issue of the series weve also learned quite a bit about the history of. That are going as its called today and the history of s. U. V. Now its time to head to our next destination he says. Name lets not take up. The 2nd brother and say and the fan. His name for a spanish town too like almost all the car makers models thats not surprising since as weve already mentioned the spaniards are quite patriotic.

To go on all space and the skoda kodiak caracal sells for just under 30000 euro.

Hes after he now its become relatively well known its going to have a look and move on from the taco to the take then well be on tour next destination you know i think. Just a few of the states. There they are says you manuel right and i take a Central Square i can already see that its relatively small but tranquil and i am pretty sure in. The narrow streets are inviting but career stroll rather than a drive nevertheless residents are still proud of the fact that saying id choose to name one of its cars after their town. If there be a take a 1000000 from all inclusive of all says you know see people taking pictures in a rambling in the streets he doesnt have precise numbers but theres no doubt more people are now coming to get to know and take the given that it is for when you come in. Then its time to get into the and take it and head for the next stop on our tour. To help with the take im behind it emanuel says were on the road to madrid why madrid because our next stop is our own and thats on the island of 10 or if. We need to take a boat or plane to get there and the closest airport is in madrid about 220 kilometers away that will give us time to look back at the a take as development of a size about the one side course that would make these why me.
