Did so your car just a reminder while shaffer says the Toyota Land Cruiser has been an off road mainstay since one nine hundred fifty one of the new generation all rounder touts its handling on snow sand and more lets take a look at all to head. First well check out its operate credentials and an old gravel pit. Until the lang cruiser has five off road driving modes but he might almost says its the most interesting one is the crawl function the press of a button switches it on then the car sensors and computers take control. All that sweat for the driver to do is select the speed mode and that one is very slow and five is maximum speed i will try to level one for now and release the brake. Again then from there but. The car starts driving on its own with and brakes itself to get out of whether out or downhill it works perfectly so he only asked to concentrate on steering and. Crawl control supports the driver and inclines an opposite choice of five speed modes which automatically control the engine and brakes to maintain a said vehicle speed and if the car gets stuck this function will also help you dig your way out without using the brake and gas pedals. And its a car shift to the right and left it on its own doesnt have to do with thing and hes driving over some pretty big holes not bad. This all makes for a very comfortable ride offroad theres also independent double wishbone front Suspension System along with a solid rear axle with four trailing arms the land cruiser also has a permanent four wheel drive. As the last model in its segment this land cruiser continues to feature a ladder frame construction with a body blow put on who suffers many advantages during driving compared to a unitary body. Including higher torsional stiffness decoupling the passenger compartment from the frame also gives comfort a boost. Into your time in the manual says it comes with only one engine option a two point eight leader d four d. Be at the fact that its a diesel which shouldnt be a concern its equipped with a year or. S. C. R. System had a big absolute tank and meets euro Sixty Mission standards. The interior is well organized and has a robust appearance the leather elements and yet another touch of comfort something you cant take for granted in an off road vehicle. Hes on across your mind a wall says crawl mode also works on steep inclines just switch it on and steer although here he doesnt even need to do that since hes headed straight up a whole. Skate so ive got a nice right now hes not moving forward yet thats no problem once the system since the proper grip mode the car starts with. Me here goes its a steep hill and it feels like hes about to tip backwards but the system can handle it. The new land cruiser also offers assist systems for on the road driving the trio to safety since package includes a blind spot monitor and intelligent park assist. Downhill is no different to crawl mode on hands on the Steering Wheel if you just keep your thumbs out and cant shake you have to counter steer and he didnt tell me. What your hit the amount of us is and so steep he has to brace himself on the Steering Wheel but again the car can handle it. In some new Toyota Land Cruiser is every bit as good as its predecessors in germany the base model starts at about forty one thousand year. Opal has presented the fifth generation the rights combo life wagon a life can be had in a short or a long version with five or seven seats depending on the version and seating the luggage volume ranges from nearly six hundred to around two thousand seven hundred leaders its new in showrooms the first half of the year prices have not yet been announced. B. M. W. Has added a new member to its f. Series motorcycle family f eight fifty g. S. Is a completely new design the seventy kilowatt engine feels just as much at home on or off road making the two wheeler fed for long haul trips for better vision at night a new front l. E. D. Headlight is standard and germany it starts at Twelve Thousand four hundred euros. Four years after giving the a seven a facelift outing percents the Second Generation of its four nor much recuperating a new model share styling with a new eight and key town close needs which is putting the eighty seven to the test. And close says the new a seven sport back has incorporated some of these new design cues thats clear here in front where the grill is flatter have a bit wider its also lower in front and he likes the sharper lines on the hood that adds a little more pep. Pep did not make. Compared to the previous model the new sport back has a wider single frame grille with its narrow headlights and its many edges it looks significantly sportier than the eight. Also worth a look is the rear which is adorned by a can. It was white strip. Food and father plus says the new a seven has a seven speed automatic dual clutch transmission which is extremely precise you dont notice any shifting at all so its really well done with the fish called good luck. Were testing the two hundred fifty kilo one three leader v six t. F. S. I gasoline engine it can propel the luxury coupe a from zero to one hundred Kilometers Per Hour and just five point three seconds and it has a top speed of two hundred fifty Kilometers Per Hour out he says fuel consumption is six point eight leaders per one hundred kilometers the base price in germany is sixty seven thousand eight hundred euros but they can quickly top eighty thousand euros with all the available extras. Escaped imo klaus says the a seven comes with a choice of suspension options theres a steel spring Suspension System thats already sporty but theres also a sports Suspension System that brings the right height down the air Suspension System developed for the eighty seven absorbs every bump and lets you drive fast also helpful is rear wheel steering which makes the car agile in tight corners its also great for parking making the car a bit easier to maneuver that i think that ive been called i base it on their stats and i think ive. The only a seven sport back on first two four wheel drive concepts for the diesel theres permanent four wheel drive in for the gasoline engine were testing there is what audi calls quatro ultra their rear wheels are powered only when the situation demands it so most of the time that gasoline powered a seven is front wheel drive meaning it consumes less fuel. In the interior the a seven exam. Its the same operating philosophy and displays as the eight everything is controllable by in touch screens. Only the volume control still has enough the controls on the a seven are angled to face the driver. Him in the close as the interior makes a very luxurious impression including when it comes to noise the sound proofing makes the car and credibly quiet because you feel like youre floating along in. The eight and the a seven may be related but they are clearly separate models the eight is more of a chauffeurs car while the a seven is aimed at drivers up to thirty nine Driver Assistance Systems are available for the eighty seven some of them like farkas it can really help but others may end up leaving you completely confused. If youre looking for a minivan with room for up to seven people for hope youll look at the galaxy it come standard with seven seats in a lot of space the first generation hit the showroom floors in one thousand nine hundred five as a joint venture with both why since two thousand and six the galaxy has been fords own baby. And im a car tester im doing some moments is the name galaxy was first used on cords american cars in the late one nine hundred fifty s. At that time it capitalized on the excitement around the race to the moon didnt seem so long ago in fact and computers were huge and cost millions now theyre small and affordable about a computer some toy to. Their spaceship and slanted despite its bookie body the ford radiates elegance and sportiness. The large windows give passengers a good view. For one hundred eighty euros extra the third row seat springs to life at the push of a button. By all passenger hungry since the european galaxy is probably name for the general space it offers the third row seats is standard of what it can be omitted on request but on that with the third row in use you have three hundred leaders capacity on the back of a four of them down you have between twelve hundred to five and thirty never leaving the printing on how far forward the second row is then if you fold it down you have a go lactic two thousand three hundred thirty nine leaders of cargo space thats a lot of little. Bit easy for the flat system creates an absolutely flat loading area without having to remove the seats was predominant provides admission all Digital Displays that can be selected using the arrow keys on the Steering Wheel. To move. The photic to andre says the galaxy suspension provides a lot of Long Distance come for if it cruises over an even roads without making you feel it in your spine but that doesnt mean its a disappointment want to comes the curves geared to what surprisingly nimble despite the vehicles relatively i wait for gifts. Even so that way tends to overwhelm the engine of our test car at low speeds it takes ten point eight seconds to reach one hundred Kilometers Per Hour. Well thats one hundred ten kilowatt output of the galaxies top speed is one hundred ninety five Kilometers Per Hour. Could it affect that im doing says the galaxies optional parking assist and help bring it in for a perfect landing that makes sense with this huge spaceship and although the large windows mean visibility is actually quite good. If a parking assistant is activated you just set the turn signal and the vehicle looks worse suitable space if it finds one the car takes over the steering but since the parking assistant is oriented only on the parked vehicles caution is advised because the car can easily hit the curb. On he says its a shame the galaxy does not come with sliding doors and tight Parking Spaces so this could mean young passengers could ding adjacent cars at ford focus offers door edge protectors for plastic edges that are not out to minimize any damage but theyre not available for the galaxy at all. Going off class. The way Departure Warning of the Adaptive Cruise control make things easier on long journeys theyre part of the titanium trim package which cost eight hundred thirty euros extra.
