Mercedes posh new pick up. With its do x. Class mercedes is breaking into a segment the german car maker has never tried before and a bid to attract new customers to the brand. Is that yes the car tester says its the first of its kind until now Mercedes Benz had never built a pickup truck that changes with the x. Class its bronnie wide enough for a shipping pilot in the back and sturdy enough to go off road. This time will test drive the production version or see these already showed off its x. Class concept truck at the Geneva Motor Show last spring its aggressive design caught everyones attention with a huge grille slender headlights and flared wheel wells unfortunately the production version is tame by comparison. Two percent for the final says what jumps out are the mercedes star and the radiator grille the massive bumpers and the wide toe more than one point six metres both front and rear its not only gives the x. Class a beefy appearance it also helps to stabilize the pick up on the highway will come and offer o d x classes Ground Clearance of more than twenty centimeters helps it stay out of trouble and they sent him into. A striking feature is the x. Class is grille the production version has larger headlights than the concept. In the rear the x. Class bows a vertical taillights and a massive bumper. Line on says pickups have to be tough whether theyre going off road or hauling heavy loads the x. Class can carry up to one point one tons on its bed and to up to three point five times the tailgate alone can withstand up to one hundred fifty kilograms but despite all these talents but two ton truck drives almost like a car. The new x. Class offers a choice of two Diesel Engines weve tested the more powerful one hundred forty kilowatt version for sadies rates fuel consumption at seven point eight leaders for every one hundred kilometers the truckie meds two hundred seven grams of Carbon Dioxide per kilometer and the top speed is one hundred seventy five Kilometers Per Hour. Up just as the i know says the x. Class is more comfortable than its competitors a big plus on longer journeys whats unusual for mercedes is the conventional handbrake and i demand a gear selector lever mounted on the center tunnel. Typical for a mercedes or the air vent nozzles on the dashboard in fact the x. Class looks very refined for an issue whats more it seats five people. And as luxury is as its interior is the pickup can handle rough terrain with. One basket i know says its time to see what the next class can do off road to find out we took it to a special test track and yes class faces a tough climb and wades through water up to sixty seven meters deep with a twenty five degree descent and thirty degree climb are sufficient for most construction sites and the boat ramp at the lake would sometimes the. Whole variance of the pick up come with a rear wheel drive and manual six b. Gearbox and standard. Switchable four manik four wheel drive is available at a surcharge for all engine types the seven speed automatic is only available with the current top model the x two fifty which were testing. Excessively or cds because g. M. Poses the x. Class is a real off roader and a real pickup so formatting is the perfect all wheel drive system for off road use for more challenging terrain and offers gear reduction as well as a differential walk and that really polls through just about anywhere. And there is more power on the way for the x. Class next year mercedes plans to roll out a version powered by a one hundred ninety kilowatt three leader diesel v six. Thats my note says the mercedes x. Class adds new momentum to the pick up sector technically the extranets is a close relative of the miss on the barra its built in the same isaan. Three in barcelona with an of lara is around ten thousand euros cheaper he says he wishes the x. Class would have looked like the concept drug at the Geneva Motor Show. Focused on top. But even if the pick up could have been a bit more daring in its design this latest mercedes model is still bound to turn heads were ever a go. Through. The challenge the entire Automotive Industry is facing now is how to cut emissions but there are many ways to do that diesel has fallen out of favor and electric power faces many hurdles but other alternatives are often overlooked. They turn to story mind of well is well aware of how controversial diesel is but whats the alternative the German Government is pushing electric and hybrid drives but theyre costly to make and to buy so for now volkswagen is developing cars that run on c. And g. Or compressed natural gas. Specifically natural gas is almost all methane when burned in an engine it releases about twenty five percent less c o two than gasoline does and less particulate matter and nitrogen oxides so v. W. Will be offering a c. N. C. Version in each of its range line. And sanderson a volkswagen flatly rejects the notion that the Auto Industry will be able to go all electric with the batteries in the near future he insists thats physically impossible even if there are many Transportation Needs that can be adequately met if i battery electric vehicles and c and she should not be seen as a competitor to electric drive but rather as a complement he agrees that long chain and sank lead hydro. Carbons must be phased out but says more can be done with conventional drive trains and here methane is especially attractive all from me up one by the incumbents and im saving one is that its people mittal design thats up thirteen. The newest member of the w. C. And she family is the polo t. G. I. Its powered by a three cylinder by the linn engine meaning it can use two kinds of fuel in addition to the gasoline tank it carries two natural gas tanks under the floor of the trunk running on natural gas the polo consumes three point two kilograms per one hundred kilometers and emits just eighty seven grams socio tubercle ometer. So nice thats my. Ambition explains it voce wagon has specially designed the engines to run on natural gas bills come to so as they dont have to be converted after the fact and question time with the engines operation has to be dry and smooth so v. W. Has redesigned the cylinder heads and is it something the companys able to add across its engine range youre going to have stern doesnt have fished you have a stunt for. Nothing can not only be extracted from non renewable sources but also from renewable alternatives in bio gas plants for example this is another important factor in preserving the environment. The middle points out that natural gas cars cost much less than electric car even hybrid cars he takes the polo as an example the natural gas version started just under twenty thousand euros in germany. For the c. And g. Models worth the additional seven thousand euros over the purely gasoline powered models. Maybe not in the short run but longer term a lower fuel consumption not only saves money at the pump but helps preserve the environment by cutting down on c o two emissions. On the lines as well anderson emphasizes that this is not just a stopgap solution he says in the long term well have to learn to deal with natural gas power alongside battery electric power and judging by the current state of Technology Well also have to deal with fuel cell powered vehicles so it would be a good idea to learn to handle Natural Gas Energy sources here and on them but god theyre going to go. There for a man who adds that the advantage over an electric vehicle is that you can simply drive to the filling station fill the tank in less than ten minutes and drive on a once in electric vehicles battery is empty you have to plug it in and then you cant drive anywhere until its recharged but what does it feel like to drive a polo t. G. I. Its more the natural gas polo is too loud for a man who is taste the engine doesnt run smoothly but he says that has less to do with the natural gas and more to do with the three cylinders and id sit in that. Otherwise its hard to see or feel any difference between gasoline and see energy drive so using natural gas doesnt mean giving up any of the fun of driving aside from the lower Purchase Price another plus for the natural gas pullover electric drive is that range is no concern. They at the amount of oil once again reminds us of the advantage of a natural gas pull using both c. N. C. And gasoline once the natural gas tank is empty you can keep going on gasoline until you reach the next natural gas filling station. Three. Porsche has unveiled the g. D. S. Version of its seven eighteen cayman with its two point five liter four cylinder boxer and. And an optimized turbo charger that g. T.

To tucson is here today ronnie lipstick is testing it to sun hyundai has produced a compaq is using since two thousand and five a korean model with an american named like tucson arizona thats built in the Czech Republic and designed by a german well thats true globalization estimate about israel. Hyundai named the Second Generation of this crossover model the i and thirty five and many markets but the current Third Generation is known as the tucson pretty much everywhere the s. U. V. Hits the streets with a striking new design and more selfconfidence and its great fun to drive were testing the version with the style equipment pack each. Day and run he says the tucson snow featherweight depending on the engine and trim levels it can we have to one point seven times but then he wasnt aiming to build a lightweight vehicle but rather a robust compact s. U. V. Its also good on long hauls he thinks that tucson does that quite well but. The theme. At the front the crossover striking design cant be overlooked a large hexagonal radiator grille thats typical for hyundai models and the new l. E. D. Headlights are both real attention getters. From the side good to sun also cuts a good figure to gradually rising window line and the black cladding over the wheel wells at a touch of sporting news. At the rear of the most. I cant sing feature is the horizontal tail lights but the twin tailpipes also add to the overall impression. Compared to the Second Generation of a new two sambos ten percent more cargo space it could hold five hundred thirteen leaders or around fifteen hundred leaders with the rear seats folded down so theres plenty of room. Among the two sons drivers says are an automatic emergency braking system which combines radar and camera data to take to the car ahead makes a sudden stuff the two top trimline style and premium both come equipped with a rear view camera as well as the smart park assist the style version also features a lane Departure Warning system. He says there are many adjustments that can be made in tucson you can lock the Center Differential because we have all wheel drive and theres a button to adjust the steering there are two modes of sport and normal ronnie doesnt think theres much difference between the two though the steering might be a bit stiffer and sport mode. Lack dominates the cars interior to the Center Console as well laid out in packed up a little by the piano black details the infotainment system is clearly arranged in easy to use thanks to its touch screen and buttons. The weather Steering Wheel feels good in your hands and has just a few buttons to control the radio and the dashboard display. And though the seats arent leather. There are two toned fabric look sharp. The tucson comes with a choice of eight engines five diesel and three gasoline powered our test model is fitted with a one hundred thirty six Diesel Engine the most powerful one on offer it propels the tucson from zero to one hundred Kilometers Per Hour and around ten seconds top speed is two hundred two Kilometers Per Hour and fuel consumption is surprisingly low for an issue of the of this size just six point five liters per one hundred kilometers.
