As a 1st a tile compact vehicle suitable for family but with enough power and good for city driving even with a spacious interior since then the model has gone through 3 generations and at least 2700000 have been sold by not that bad now is the 4th generation severe it is hitting the market its called the so fear of life but has much less in common with the 3 previous generations then they had with each other. I think i forget the one in medina. And thats primarily because the new sephira is technically no longer a compact van but a full size sedan in terms of size its in the same segment is the media bus and mercedes b. Class the saffir a life shares his technical underpinnings with a since one space tour traveller and toyota versa all 4 are available in 3 links with 2 wheel basis. I do this is one thing has not changed and thats versatility. But its a different kind of versatility the previous affair was available with up to 7 seats but the life has up to 9 seats in a variety of configurations. Our test car has 8 seats of which the 6 in the 2 back rows can be folded down and moved alternatively benches are available and stead of individual seats. And sure many this a few are life is powered exclusively by diesel engines we tested the biggest version with 130 kilowatts output and a 6 speed manual transmission. And thats not to says you cannot expect sports car handling from a vehicle in the van de segment but even if it isnt as peppy yes its predecessor as a feral life is still pretty respectable the Steering Wheel delivers good road feel the brakes do their job if you have to hit them and makes a good impression. Was what i. Was. No ones going to mistake this affair for a sports car but Design Elements like chrome trim on the grill and alloy wheels for a dash of style. The 2 electric sliding doors are very handy they can also be opened with the central locking remote control. With 3 rows of seats the cargo. Space is naturally somewhat limited if you need to transport more you can remove the rear bench or opt for the longer version of a saffir or. The dashboard is sober and not flashing whats good for children all rear seats have fixed anchors for child seats. As i mean which is. Model eva patrick says a vehicle like this if ear is just right for her family and doesnt pretend to be a sports car but has more of a down to earth look whats important is that its lots of things fit in sinai but she says comfort is also important and safety is very much so especially when shes hauling kids and her family drives long distances so it has to be comfortable safe to say so when it comes to everyday usability the syfy real life receives top marks but it isnt the right car for everybody. Brigade and you might want to says most people who buy a vehicle for up to 9 people only ever want to drive on solid roads. But there are also times when you might need a car with lots of space that can also go offroad and theres a solution for that 2 opposite sides the satisfied sort of exists but all stuff gets under the. Opel has collaborated with french offroad specialist gone head to offer a 4 wheel drive version allowing the family transporter to make its way through less hospitable to rain this chassis is also a race for better Ground Clearance. This. This wouldnt be much worse if we didnt find something to complain about like the material in the door. Being said doesnt sound good. So maybe the engineers and designers will find a better solution at the next facelift and at cross to go to is all so fitting. Apart from this small failing to secure a wife does not reveal any real weaknesses in our test the 3 of even the lengths and the one thing we put in packages provide a version for every need on both country and city roads. Not to sums up this if youre alive by saying it meets his expectations it offers plenty of space comfortable driving and pretty much everything youd expect from a modern car including every possible assistance just last month. And although it looks bigger i think the short version is actually even more compact in the own saffir it so you can take it into town just as well as you could before its that sofie about as high as one can with in god knows it would indeed be made in fog. And a small airfield near english not in southern germany we have the opportunity to take an exclusive look at our new is Family Member the q 3 sport back the crossover offshoot of the q 3 compact s. U. V. Has more than a little kooky in it the front of the car is almost identical to the normal q 3 but insiders can tell its a sport back by its honeycomb radiator grille. Although the 4. 5 meter q 3 sport back is only a little longer than its sister model it looks longer and more dynamic thanks to its 3 centimeter flatter roof unlike many s. U. V. Coup payoff shoes this one hardly cuts into its interior space. The standard luggage Capacity Remains the same at 530. 00 leaders of folding down the rear seats expands it to 1400. 00 only 100 liters less than the normal q 3. Into one camp there says the q 3 sport backs interior 1st the driver both a sporty and a digital experience that means the analog instruments are gone everythings digital and the interior design is dominated by sharply drawn lines and 3 dimensional shapes the central display is angled 10 degrees toward the driver making the seating position even more economic and sporty the driver always has everything in view and within reach optimum use of the new functions. Inside the q 3 sport back offers state of the Art Technology in addition to a fan each touchscreen in the Center Console a virtual dashboard measuring just under 12 inches supply is the driver with all Important Information through various display modes. Knew in the q 3 sport back is an optional integration of amazons Voice Assistant alexa for example driver and passengers can ask the Voice Control about the weather or request their favorite music. For cutting sundries groener says they can be would operate their smart home devices for example if theyre on the road and not sure if they have turned off the lights at home alexa can do that for them to. Alexa 50 to one. Alexa please turn on the light on. And though i designed. The q 3 sport back hits the streets in europe this was prices havent yet been revealed. Their test now i think artistry man was she 1st testing a veteran among s. U. V. S when it 1st rolled out in 1909 there really wasnt that much competition for 20 years later things look very different every one offers a luxury as you know how the Mercedes Porsche and even lamborghini and Everyone Wants a piece of the action and that means you have to stand out from the competition so lets see what makes the b. M. W. X 5 so different from the others. The x. 5 was not the 1st s. U. V. Ever built but it was still 3 years ahead of its competitors porsche and bobos models the other premium manufacturers brought up their issue of beans even later. That either come for a man or says the right comfort in the x 5 is already impressive its very quiet in here that has a lot to do with sound insulation but also the windows which are thicker and absorb more outside noise. That if this were very occasionally for. Q 7 a mercedes g l e also offer a similarly high level of travel comfort even though the luxury s. U. V. S can technically be taken off road starting price was around 70000 euros in germany probably mean very few people use this ability damage to vehicles like these runs up repair bills very quickly. B x 5 has an aggressive look. You might almost as if you look at the grille here you get the feeling that automakers above all i would even b. M. W. Are trying to outdo each other in terms of size he finds that does. Sign just too big but in other markets things are different for example in china and the us its has cant be big enough its almost like they wanted to grill and no car behind it all. One option for the next 5 years laser headlights illuminated the streets almost twice as far as conventional headlights without blinding others a similar system is also available from. At 4. 902 meters in length the x 5 is exactly as long as the cheap and slightly shorter than the q 7. What they all have in common is trouble finding a parking space thats long enough. Cargo space hold 650 to 1870 leaders so its maximum volume is bigger than the Porsche Cayenne but 180 leaders smaller than the g q 7 when it comes to rear seating space there is nothing to complain about. The interior features high quality materials and workmanship. The 12. 00 inch digital instrument cluster and the identically sized infotainment system in the Center Console are standard. They can be operated simply and intuitively this is not the case with all manufacturers sometimes you have to work through confusing menus. Not surprising the x. 5 has numerous assistance systems. Were testing the banks drive 48. With 250. 00 kilowatts output the smallest gasoline engine thats competitive with the engines for sure and mercedes offer. The extended family once has the x 5 strings go beyond driving on the road and include parking where it has some very special features for me its. This includes a backup assistant. I know whats this this ensures that when you drive into a space it can back you out of it automatically all you have to do is press the accelerator and brake funny like this was also. So we drive around the corner here to try it out. You know just stop here. And then turn on the parking assistance when youre on the side you can select the back up assistant with the bad thats acting then it tells him to put the car into reverse gear which he does. And it drives away and so off the Steering Wheel because its so steering it all you have to do is already and accelerate and now you can see the car does the steering and we drive backwards just the way we. Felt this works for a maximum distance of 50 meters. He says this is pretty convenient specially if you have difficulty reversing it to work with. Other car makers dont offer a system like to share but its not exclusive to the x. Y. It is also available for other b. M. W. Models. Emanuel says his overall impression of the b. M. W. X 5 is that with its high travel comfort the simple and intuitive operation of the infotainment system and as the cherry on top being able to reverse automatically for the last 50 meters. Its a really good car if only it didnt have that huge grill but he admits thats ultimately a matter of taste how about they are and they. Need to be used got a decades long go through teen and tried so many variants and drives and now the v. W. To rock is something my good girl and she will be just a little shorter a little wider quite a bit higher but just about the same price. Lewis recalls of the freedom used to run a compact s. U. V. Was intended to bump up the recent sales figures but is it more than just a raise call for after all that is based on a popular compact platform is taking a closer look at the my guns going to. First notice is the team rocks modern and sporty design a new grille and broad slim eleni headlights give it a commanding front its 4. 00 metres length adds 12 centimeters over the t. Cross which is based on the smaller v. W. Polo. At the rear it does look a bit like a propped up golf slim but distinctive reversing lights and some 3 d. Elements leave an aggressive but sporty impression from behind. With his 445 leaders luggage capacity expandable to 1290 leaders the team iraq carries more than the goal but that luggage has to be heaved over a loading lift 79 centimeters high. That t. V. Rock we tested is powered by a one and a half meter gasoline engine putting 110. 00 kilowatts through a sick speed manual transmission that accelerates from 0 to 100 Kilometers Per Hour and 8. 4 seconds and sure many of the team iraq with the style trim this for about 26000 euros. Last fall for i was fine so he is handling quite pleasant and relaxed it takes courage dynamically but remains stable as striking Exterior Design is an attention getter. The to rock suspension is set nice and firm as expected for the to go on so little brother more Ground Clearance means a suitably higher seat position with good visibility of the road. And f one top lewis nose of the controls typical of v. W. Are quite neatly arranged the key iraq only has a very few buttons making for a very modern look. The interior trim is painted in the same kirk you may yellow as the body. Impossible to overlook is the 8 inch touch screen completely integrated into the dashboard. The seats have their yellow accents as well. Plot speed that lewis finds no wacko spaceflights iraq describing it as remain sufficiently comfortable by hes got enough leg and head room which makes long trips with or in the car more than possible. Standard in the tree rockers had scanning of the area had a pedestrian and lane mark each option though are many other systems Adaptive Cruise control. Lane assist front and rear parking sensors fatigue detection traffic sign recognition and emergency braking to lessen the impact of an imminent collision. Oddity rock is similar to a school sibling but offers more space and brings more typical s. U. V. Qualities into the equation it lou is think city rock would take good care of its own or.

A since the one with the montserrat vientiane when its. 220 kilometer an hour top speed it was the swiftest front wheel drive volume produced car going but it took lots of maintenance and it still dies so what about getting parts. Store thomas really explains that it isnt all that hard to find parts even if the mechanics are complex and involve many specially manufactured ones everything about the engine came from montserrat in italy and those parts are getting scarce the body sections windows and so on are also specific to the model other parts are similar to ones from the d. S. Like the transmission and many smaller parts and the fan base in clubs in france and germany are very well organized hard finish it is also exist in the United States because this model was exported there too which are also well organized and parts can be obtained from them just a few dedicate the clubs are now remanufacturing parts and advantages that only one type of this car was ever built there were manual and automatic versions and Engine Performance levels but this car was only build in a very limited number of variables.
