The next. Because ill turn the car tester im going to moma says there are lots of questions surrounding the car in the future and looks like itll definitely be electric but how do you build an e car when a wide enough range in short enough charging giant hes checking out another contender i getting a car. Sundays new green flagship model certainly looks futuristic the next show is the car makers second fuel cell vehicle to be made in series the first was the i. X. Thirty five which the south korean manufacturer launched in two thousand and twelve the next zero platform however has been designed from the ground up its fuel cell generates electricity from hydrogen and oxygen which in turn powers the electric drive. And i said is the next so kind of sixty nine thousand euros in germany and though he does. And i want to be insulting thats an awful lot of money for a compact s. U. V. From a car maker with hyundais image that said you have to admire them for employing a technology that still isnt very widespread and five which of course the hikes the costs and underway has really made an effort to offer more technology than just whats under the hood he comments for example these two large displays they remind you more of a mercedes than a hyundai is pretty elegant. The next those Hydrogen Tanks can hold up to one hundred fifty six liters which works out to six point three kilograms of the gas in the w l t p Test Procedure the model burns around a key low of it every one hundred kilometers driven so the cars range on a full tank is around six hundred sixty kilometers the only emission it produces is water vapor and the other shows the camera built into the car is also pretty high tech when he turns on the blinker to change lanes an image of the blind spot it appears in the central display so he knows hes not missing anything is a well designed solution. The next off under he says the next so has to paddles behind the wheel so that they are had to shift gears instead of the paddles are to set the degree of Energy Recovery you want the car to employ changing it alters how the car slows when you take your foot out the accelerator because the car then recaptures more or less energy as it rolls but thats a nice feature he says because it gives you more control over and doing and Energy Management off. The thank you minutes to. Recuperate energy is stored in a battery and aging celebration later which saves on hydrogen the next show looks pretty futuristic the displays in the interior for. The only i cant use the central console with us for many buttons is also special thanks to shift by Wire Technology which creates an electronic connection between the gear shifter and drive theres even some Storage Space where the stick shift usually sits. All of the information on the Hydrogen Tank fuel cell battery and electric motor can be accessed via the in full team and sooner. Under it has for a nearby parking lot to try out another of the next shows fifty assists. As well to get the cars of the future will be able to drive themselves and gracious the next it isnt quite that far yet but it already parks pretty well on its own. When the driver finds a space all he or she needs to do is press a button the next show then takes over and parks completely on its own you can even get out of the car before hand up until now only the b. M. W. Seven series was that advanced and it eighty thousand euros the beemer cost significantly more than the hyundai. And of course the car can also pull out on its own that says the function makes sense if you need to get out of a tight spot you dont have to worry about getting the car next year when squeezing in around with just press a button he says and wait for the car to pull out. Its Forward Looking Technology thinks. All the bells and whistles hope explained the next those high price day and day says that long term it also wants to equip smaller cars with fuel cells but is concentrating for the moment on larger models and commercial vehicles if the Technology Grows more common of course prices for it will drop. To misses the next our contest there says that the next so is groundbreaking because it combines emissions free mobility with short refueling and good range but whether or not Hydrogen Vehicles really do have a future still remains to be seen because the Big Questions of course are and when i like three cars really hit the market in a big way how are they be charged in emissions for waste and will there be enough solar and wind power left over to produce hydrogen on a large scale and will the infrastructure to distributed be built the fiesta and con until those questions are answered says andre you cant really say that a Hydrogen Vehicle is the best option come on this. Sunday has ambitious plans to be a leader in green mobility by twenty twenty five and the carmaker is betting big on hydrogen as a future source of energy which is why its continued to pursue fuel Cell Technology even when other manufacturers remain wary the next hill is already available in germany but theres still a big drawback there are just fifty fueling stations in the entire country. Shanghai. The booming chinese would trump all this is famous for its stunning skyline. One of the best addresses on the planet for a world premier. Thats why porsche chose it as a venue to unveil the new mccunn the event has drawn journalists from all over the world. And now the moment theyve been waiting for.

Have a contribution from platinum says the mcconnell is playing a very Important Role for the car maker porsche introduced the brand in china with the cayenne but the mccunn has taken it a step further eighty percent of customers who buy it have never driven a porsche so the model has really helped to broaden the brands appeal target buyers in china are much younger than in europe he says by twenty years on average the average mcconville year here is around thirty six or thirty seven and whats especially important fifty percent of the con drivers are women within them because of the following. There are new engines under the hood and then a cons look has been given some subtle tweaks thats up on the or ship Exterior Design or tone which struck us says a car has a redesigned front bumper up to every surface is new and not. Just in the front you says the mcconnell has separate rear lamps and in the new model theyve instead implemented a light strip with three dimensional lighting effects. It through in time and that means there were hatch is completely new picked up by. The cons rear lighting means it now shares a key design element with the panamera and cayenne. The interior features the latest generation Porsche Connect plus infotainment system that offers permanent on line access on a new eleven inch touch screen. That if you think almost struck us says the most important innovation inside is the big touch screen along with the new air vent arrangement no one can give on their own now move further down.

Classes card to start on the last day not including am she models like the c sixty three but the grill for instance now comes from the am g g t models a mercedes also rework the interior and its a technology hes going to see whats changed. To my going on. Theres no question that cylinder engines are a dying breed but despite all the discussion about fuel efficiency and c o two emissions theres no question its an intrinsic element in an a m g c sixty three just like the rear wheel drive for the face lift the engineers have mercedes have implemented and a lab or a series of measures aimed at further improving both longitudinal and transverse dynamics but that doesnt make it any less suitable for daily use at least thats ronnies impression after the first few kilometers on a country road. When it comes to uptakes the c sixty three am she is a vision of sporty splendor instead of horizontal bars the grille now bears a vertical set of high gloss chrome slats. From the rear the reworked double empire throws convey grange and power. A minimum plus ronnie says that inside the altered Steering Wheel jumps out at you is flat on the bottom of sports buttons with activated surfaces like those in the eagle ass in the c. L. S. So we could see it if the analogs pedometer could also be replaced. By a twelve point three inch combination instrument he says its a look that really works for him you know with. The interior underlines the new c sixty three dynamic focus in many details. The infotainment system can be controlled either with the standard rotary push knob or via a touch pad on the central console. Seats in the c sixty three are also now equipped with three different Climate Control six. Ronnie says that after an interesting op highway john its time to take this scene sixty three am where its appius out on to the willesden bag race track here outside of bodley book. After a quick run through of the rules ronnie dons a helmet and hits the course a new dynamics feature has been added to the list of driving programs the system calculates in advance how the car will react with sensors determining parameters like speak steering angle and yacht race based on that data the weight of the car will react can be calculated and power distributed in a fraction of a second to the rear axle. So that on the race track run he says that you instantly notice what kind of power is unleashed in this car the engine is a four leader v a by turbo that churns out three hundred sixty five kilowatts and seven hundred newton metres of torque but enough juice to really fly because. The eight cylinders make the car very reactive and even at high. Speeds it leaves forward when you hit the gas run a c sixty three am she can hit one hundred kilometers an hour from a dead stop in just four seconds and has a top speed of two hundred ninety kilometers an hour particle filter helps keep emissions down. Thats better for a limited slip differential is a mechanical anymore says ronnie its electrical and the car also has a new gearbox called the speed shift m c nine gene it has nine years to more than its predecessor and shifts quickly and reliably. As ody you can really adjust the c sixty three and a c m she does suit your individual tiste says you cant really make any mistakes doing that either because that car regulates beautifully brakes might give us away and accelerates when you wanted to. After five exhilarating circuits ronnie rolls the mercedes into the pit lane. Our car tester is pumped up with adrenalin and pretty enthusiastic. Back to dimes i think i if you want to drive a c sixty three am she dont have to forgo specific body style as he says if you get a convertible for instance or maybe if you have a big family go with a try out the Station Wagon variant for this you can go just for the classic one inside the city.

Our test vehicle has the executive trim level the highest of the four available it comes with a panoramic roof as standard and costs around forty two thousand five hundred euros in germany. The new c. R. V. Is three centimeters wider than its predecessor a large roof spoiler at the rear emphasizes it sporty lines. And for the first time there is an optional third row of seats. The more generous dimensions are also noticeable in the inside the interior now leaves a more elegant impression with piano lacquer finish beige leather upholstery and wood trim they must be on the needle was impressed with the choice of materials in the cockpit he says its really very classy and the wood decor is very attractive and the lower areas are simpler but still respectable. The Steering Wheel bristles with buttons many for the input theme and system unfortunately the display looks a little like an afterthought there are new Storage Spaces between the front seats meaning there is plenty of room in the center console. Our four wheel drive test car has one hundred forty two kilowatts of power and can accelerate from zero to one hundred Kilometers Per Hour in ten seconds the s. U. V. Tops out at two hundred Kilometers Per Hour. Do you know says he had a positive impression behind the wheel of a. The r. V. It does fine with a light touch its very responsive and agile on the road even at high speeds it feels effortless he says and hes surprised at how comfortable it remains thats called for overall the car offers a very good combination of driving dynamics and driving comfort because he adds that winding roads are really a lot of fun with a c.
