Its the High Performance versions of the models they carry the r s badge we tested the new our as for avant now in its fourth generation our card test reminder washee for will be taking a closer look at some of the innovations made to it. In his view what normally matters in a Station Wagon are things like practicality and functionality but knowing that theres time for an hour as for the only things that really count are performance and driving pleasure. The Station Wagon sports version looks back and a long and successful history. To our recalls of the ares four is based on the legendary r. Is to the first generation was powered by a six cylinder engine with a shock. And third by an eight cylinder now for the fourth generation downsizing is the word so its back to a v. Six but its a three hundred thirty one kilowatt or four hundred fifty horsepower twin turbo putting out six hundred newton metres of torque and that amounts to a fast car again to use just because. The owner is for a violent moves from zero to one hundred Kilometers Per Hour in four point one seconds with a top speed capped at two hundred fifty four nop tional two hundred eighty Kilometers Per Hour. The sports exhaust with active flaps make for a calmer quieter right vs a minor one knows that he can choose between different modes while driving comfort dynamic auto or individual whatever suits the drivers personal taste for dynamic an individual the exhaust flaps are opened producing a somewhat louder sound. And in speed to try to gun a magic transmission passes on the power to the twenty inch wheels even with these big rims and relatively less rubber between them and the road an optional air Live Performance suspension makes the r s four supreme lee comfortable. In mind a while didnt expect to have any complaints about its handling of the arias for so well balanced on the curves its really fun to drive and accelerating out of them is no problem thanks to the quatro all wheel drive and plenty of traction makes driving it pure fun. The r. Is force design cant be described as elegant yet aggressively sporty. The honeycomb grill easily aired. Cools the two point nine leader engine. From inside youd hardly think you were sitting in a sports car were it not for details like the are as logos the materials are high quality and the workmanship clean. But in some of the Steering Wheel make the infotainment system easy to operate. Overall the man a world thinks the r. Is for is a fabulous car everything is right the suspension the performance the workmanship he really doesnt have any complaints as he would only expect from a car that starts at nearly eighty thousand euros so when he uses the drives away menu to change modes and it displays a little card he would have preferred to see r s four instead of a plain old i bought. The new audi r s four avant is no bargain by any means and if the buyer starts adding options the price can swiftly rise above one hundred thousand euro. Than artists are under it simmons says subarus new x v has undergone in more than a facelift yet it doesnt seem much different than its predecessor after all subaru doesnt want to turn off customers were appreciate the all wheel drive models durability and reliability. And why change a winning formula even with the Production Capacity of over one million vehicles a year subaru is still unable to keep up with the demand so x. Vs have a high resale value to the new xxvii is one. The first of the manufacturers models to be based on the subaru global plan for this modular platform will underpin the next generation of subaru vehicles. To bickley for a crossover in the x. P. Sixty or features plastic cladding designed to protect the vehicles paint shop as the worlds biggest producer of all wheel drive vehicles its only natural that subaru once its ex to be become well prepared for johnson. Because the stack henri says the x. These main strength is its all wheel drive unlike most modern s. U. V. S which operate in front wheel drive and only distribute power to the rear axle on the man and the x v has permanent all wheel drive and a boxer engine also ensures of the all wheel drive is symmetrical so theres no imbalance between the left side on the right side of the power during the engine slow center of gravity makes very good stability to Allison Island fans as it has spotted. With twenty two centimeters of Ground Clearance going off road is a breeze in the x. V. The s. U. V. Covers rough terrain with nice and its all wheel drive lets it handle the toughest of conditions even rocky inclines or no trouble the x. Of these wheels dont spin on the gravel. And if i post under a sense its price is another of the x. Me strengths look for a basic compact s. U. V. With all wheel drive from another car maker and youll pay all around thirty thousand euros close to or three thousand more for an automatic transmission up for that price you can get the x. V. With a top engine and the highest trim level and the base model x. Of the which comes with all wheel drive an automatic transmission. Cost just twenty three thousand euros and germany guards. Insider terms vehicle looks very shake with its orange stitching and even if its dashboard is all full leather and plastic the x v never looks cheap its also the safest vehicle in its class earning five stars in a way this year and c a p crash tests thats partly due to the crossovers built in eyesight Driver Assist its three collision braking feature can prevent or reduce the severity of frontal impacts. This fresh says the x. Means biggest weakness is its engine range for cost reasons subaru has foregone a diesel entirely so buyers can only choose between two gasoline engines and they only come with a lean year tronic out of magic transmission andris testing the smaller engine and finds its acceleration satisfactory and has a bad feel to it and little pick up a snowflake. So it takes the eighty four kilowatt one point six liter power plant almost fourteen seconds to go from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour though the xxvii consumes just six point four liters of fuel per one hundred kilometers under new European Driving Cycle test conditions. He says the x. Five is rock solid and bucks the trend towards urban s. U. V. S as made for those who go off road or at the very least drive in snow x. V. Cuts a good figure in the city but its really at home in the mountains. To bag a. Volvo has added the x e forty two its exceed family the swedish car maker has given his compact s. U. V. A more angular look than. Obvious larger models the new x. Meet forty is available with eighty five gasoline powered engine putting out one hundred eighty two kilowatts already for diesel with one hundred forty kilowatts of power. Has reworked the jazz now and sports the honda civic face the jazz comes with a new one point five leader i detect gasoline engine that has an output of ninety six kilowatts provided by years for the dynamic trim level and like all honda engines this one is very rev happy delivering its power through a six speed transmission. System and over says its important to free cars of snow ice and road salt regularly during winter theyve already done that with their test car the v. W. Eagle but very low or high temperatures arent ideal for batteries of electric cars either so yes the. Highest. I know of says weight is also a major concern for electric cars the eagles the battery pack and any quipping way almost four hundred kilos thats like driving around for adults and one hundred kilos of luggage this reduces range he says so he wonders if it makes sense to invest in the electric car just yet. Thats why this is. The second volkswagen generation has a longer range and a slightly reword from section a lithium ion Battery Capacity was increased from twenty four point two to thirty five point eight kilowatt hours fully charging the battery from a standard two hundred thirty mains outlet takes up to seventeen hours of fast charging station can recharge the battery up to eighty percent in just forty five minutes. I know of things the eagles interior looks like that of any other golf but the Instrument Panel and touch screen have been adapted to tell drivers how much range is left and range is what really matters i hope wants to test how it holds up he will turn on the air conditioning the seat heater radio lights and the windshield wipers to see how much range that leaves. If i took a. V. W. Claims the Second Generation ecar has a range of three hundred kilometers almost double that of his predecessor v. W. Has also increased the maximum speed from one hundred forty to one hundred fifty kilometers an hour and makes the dash from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour and nine point six seconds. I know it says the ego suspension is a bit stiffer than in regular reader Combustion Engine cars thats because it weighs an extra four hundred kilos but for that its almost silent. Us. Inside its hardly different from gasoline and diesel powered v. W. Cars one difference its got to stay in shape and the touchscreen can be controlled through gestures. To the Steering Wheel is fitted with buttons to control the radio and various drivers assistance systems easily. Before heading off drivers can check things like the Battery Charge status and regulate the interior temperature using the car net remote apps on their computer or smartphone a car also boasts a new eco driving mode that makes predictive driving easier helping to save energy and increase range. Thats not the amino says the cars sat nav is especially savvy and helps cut down on Energy Consumption and those of a downhill stretch is nearing where the car can just coast and recuperating energy it also recognizes if a speed limiter town is coming up drivers can let up on the accelerator and increase range recuperation works on three levels it has two advantages saving or Generating Energy and reducing brake wear. And theres a useful optional feature for winter for nine hundred seventy five euros buyers can get a heat pump to further increase the cars range it utilizes both ambient air and heat produced by the drive train to warm the cabin reducing Energy Consumption that can boost the vehicles range by up to thirty percent. I know says the eagle makes sense in cities it has a range of roughly two hundred kilometers even in winter enough to get to work in town or even traveling country roads but too little for highways so both wagon is offering all illegal phoners of free rental car for thirty days per year for a weekend or holiday trips doesnt come cheap says ryan auld at least for thirty six thousand euros even with germanys ecological buyers incentive factored in the cost of the absolutely. Equipping cars with Collision Avoidance systems helps to make driving safer but just how reliable are they and drivers blindly depend on them we teamed up with the German Automobile club to test various systems designed to prevent collisions. Under us weekly news testing of. The city emergency brake that works with a laser sensor up to thirty Kilometers Per Hour as he had to take it with a radar sensor behind its logo and a subaru with a stereo camera behind the windshield thats two cameras able to see three dimensionally. And. First we test the systems under normal conditions meaning the cars head straight for a park dummy vehicle at twenty five to thirty Kilometers Per Hour all the systems work flawlessly. Under way as introduces the first variable a car park next to the dummy vehicle to see if that will confuse the system if. The car park close by is no problem at all for any of a Collision Avoidance systems all three handle the situation with. The next fact there is a dirty windshield often in winter road salt and dirt obscure the drivers vision but the out to believe based systems are still quite reliable. The v. W. Apps ways are and the subarus camera both have things well under control. We go a step further and stick masking tape on the windshield to simulate bird droppings the systems must be able to see past blotches like this. The subaru stereo camera gives a warning signal but the v. W. Obsolete her system doesnt tell the driver the Collision Avoidance system is no longer active when on his own way as has found that Collision Avoidance systems generally work well in various test situations and they cant say if a camera sensor is more reliable than a radar sensor and all the systems are limited by different factors and variables so the driver should not by any means depend on the theme. Now lets take a look at intersection assistants the german. Automobile Club Developed a special platform with a dummy that to read are would appear to be a completely normal Passenger Car if a collision occurs it wont cause any damage and i mean vehicle can be steered down to the centimeter via g. P. S. Unlike the Collision Avoidance systems that will only slow down and stop vehicles moving with the traffic the intersection assisting keeps an eye on traffic crossing the road the systems are currently only available in the high end classes of for example volvo mercedes and audi. Yes in that i dont use discovers that the first three assistant systems work very differently for intersections and the receiving sports vehicles crossing his path the audi and the oval stop themselves from pulling into on coming or crossing traffic so. Much like the Collision Avoidance systems the new intersections systems use sensors and cameras in combination with a radar to spot vehicles crossing their paths and stop in time. All three systems tested out fine but they can only hit the brakes of certain parameters are met. The mercedes system only kicks in if a car cutting in front is going half as fast as the mercedes itself. Otherwise the sensor spots are too late. The Center Section assistant also has its limitations that is that i believe is has found that the turn signal has to be on the car travelling at ten Kilometers Per Hour or less and the system has to see its own lane because it will try to keep the car in it for the oval though none of these three parameters apply it will prevent a collision of the car were to veer into another lane thought also thought of also but im a big forgone when i call is there one thing of. It continuing to. Element of Collision Avoidance systems and intersection assistance is enhancing Traffic Safety considerably making them standard for all vehicle classes would not only cut down on fender benders but on serious accidents as well. Tucked away in a little villages the one hundred eighty year old one horse man or elizabeth is or michaels parents ran a farm here for many years she grew up on it now she not only takes loving care of the manor but also over a darling in the barn or a no are four as shes nickname by dam of age.
