Its not High Performance versions of only models they carry the are as bad as we tested the new are as four of on now in its fourth generation are card test three minor washee for will be taking a closer look at some of the innovations made to it the sticks in his view would normally matters in a Station Wagon or 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 still. The Station Wagon sports version looks back on a long and successful history. The. Emmanuel recalls that the r. s four is based on the legendary of an r. As to the first generation was powered by a six cylinder engine with the second and third by an eight cylinder now for the fourth generation downsizing use 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 and thats just the cost of. The other is for a bot moves from zero to one hundred Kilometers Per Hour in four point one seconds with a top speed capped at two hundred fifty or not tional two hundred eighty Kilometers Per Hour. The sports exhaust with active flaps make for a calmer quieter right. A minor will notice that he can choose between different producing a somewhat louder sound. And in speed tiptronic got 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 to spend should make the r s four Supreme Leader comfortable. In montreal didnt expect to have any complaints about its handling of the r. H. For so well balance in the curves its really fun to drive and accelerating out of them is no problem thanks to the quanto 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 air cooled. The two point nine leader engine. From inside you do hardly think you were sitting in a sports car were not for details like the r. S. Logos the materials are high quality and the workmanship clean. But in the summer the Steering Wheel make the infotainment system easy to operate. Over all the manner of things 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 when he uses the drive select menu to change modes and it displays a little cart that he would have preferred to see r. S. For instead of a plain old i bought. The new audi r is for a bond is no bargain by any means and if the buyer starts adding options the price can swiftly rise above one hundred thousand europes. An artist im doing some moments as 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 for x. Vs have a high resale value to the new x v is one of the for. First to the manufacturers models to be based on the subaru global plan for this modular platform will underpin the next generation of subaru vehicles. Typically for a crossover the x. Nice exterior 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 exit be to come well prepared for johnson off road. Because the stack honoree says the x. Wings 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 demand on the x v has permanent all wheel drive is destined for a boxer engine also ensures that 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 alison i can see and says 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 actual these wheels dont spin on the gravel. Kind of its just under he says his prices are 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. P. With the top engine and the highest trim level and the base model x. The which comes with all wheel drive and automatic transmission. Just twenty three thousand euros in germany guards. Inside our test vehicle looks very schick 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 the latest zero 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. Rays 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 a magic transmission in the race testing the smaller engine it finds its acceleration and 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 leaders of fuel per one hundred kilometers under new European Driving Cycle test conditions. Are very says the x five is rock solid and bucks the trend towards urbanists 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 then dont climb to baguio. While wall has added the x e forty two its actually family the swedish carmaker is given his compact and a more angular look than previous. Larger models the new x three forty is available with eighty five gasoline powered engine putting out one hundred eighty two kilowatts or a d. For diesel with one hundred forty kilowatts of power. To has reworked the jazz now and sports the honda civic face the jazz comes with a new one point five leader gasoline engine that has an output of ninety six kilowatts provided buyers opt for the dynamic trim level and like all honda engines this one is very rev happy delivering his power through a six speed transmission. Into our Current 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 ford very low or high temperatures arent ideal for batteries of electric cars either so you get the. Highest. I know it says weight is also a major concern for electric cars the eagles a battery pack and an equipment way almost four hundred kilos thats like driving around for adults and one hundred kilos of luggage this reduces range she says so he wonders if it makes sense to invest in the electric car just yet its a part of. The second volkswagen generation has a longer range and a slightly reworked front section a lithium ion batteries capacity was increased from twenty four point two to thirty five point eight kilowatt hours fully charging the batteries from a standard two hundred thirty mains outlet takes up to seventeen hours a 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. On the truly. B. W. Claims the Second Generation e car has a range of three hundred kilometers almost double that of his predecessor b. W. Has also increased the maximum speed from one hundred forty to one hundred fifty kilometers an hour it 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. Inside its hardly different from gasoline and diesel powered v. W. Cars one difference its got to stitching 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. I know says the cars sat nav is especially savvy and helps cut down on Energy Consumption and knows if a downhill stretch is nearing where the car can just coast and recuperating energy it also recognizes if a speed limit or tone is coming up driver is going to 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 at least for thirty six thousand euros even with ecological buyers incentive factored in because they are absolutely. Equipping cars with Collision Avoidance systems helps to make driving safer but just how reliable are they good drivers blindly depend on them we teamed up with the German Automobile club to test various systems designed to prevent collisions. But it was under us weekly in his testing of v. W. Up with 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 if they and. First we test the systems under normal conditions meaning the cars head straight for a parked gummi vehicle at twenty five to thirty Kilometers Per Hour all the systems work flawlessly. Underway as introduces the first variable a car park next to the dummy vehicle to see if that will confuse the system and if. The car park close by is no problem at all for any of the Collision Avoidance systems all three handle the situation with a nice. The next factor is a dirty windshield often in winter road salt and dirt obscure the drivers vision but the op to believe based systems are still quite reliable. The v. W. Apps ways are at 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 fast blotches like this. The subaru stereo camera gives a warning signal but the v. W. Absolutely hes or system doesnt tell the driver the Collision Avoidance system is no longer active when they want to do a as has found that Collision Avoidance systems generally work well in various test situations and they cant see 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 him. Now lets take a look at intersection assistants the German AutomobileClub Developed a special platform with a dummy that three darwin appeared to be a completely normal Passenger Car if a collision occurs and wont cause any damage the dummy 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 movie 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 mercedes 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. Or c. V. System only kicks in if a car coming in front is going half as fast as the mercedes itself. Otherwise the sensor spots it too late. Polities intersection assistant also has its limitations that. I believe is has found that the turn signal has to be on the car travelling in ten Kilometers Per Hour or less and the system ask 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 is also thought of also. Being a forgone is the one thing of. The continuing development of Collision Avoidance systems and intersection assistance is enhanced in 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 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 and darling in the barn are a no are for as shes nickname but. This is elizabeth explains that its a rule no or an r. For super from spain no used to have a plant in spain called farms or where they built this car now the model has become quite a rarity. And you are not. The first test runs commenced in one thousand nine hundred fifty nine for the prototype bar four known at the time only as project one twelve renault produced the compact its first car with front wheel drive from one thousand nine hundred sixty one to one nine hundred ninety two more than eight million of them in the course of those thirty one years alyssa bizarre four years from one nine hundred seventy shed gone looking for it in fact shed never forgotten it her love affair with this model began here over thirty years ago. Elizabeth remembers they had one on the farm they had a nice car but their field cars they called it was always in our four and when i gave up the ghost they got another one she learned how to drive and in our ford age fifteen out of five. Elizabeth shows us the road she took to the fields she used to help her mother by taking lunch out to the men but as long as she was under eighteen she had to stick to roots the family still owns the land its not far away from the manor her mother drove till they got to the field and most of it took the wheel and her mother walked back to the house now elizabeth drives her very own dearly loved our four but not in the fields. In minot she told us the men would sit in the back here any time when he asked and. When the men had finished eating elizabeth would pack up and head back but she had to stop at the public road lock up the car walk back to the house and give her mother the keys that was her daily chore now of course elizabeth can drive wherever she wants she started driving were no our force as a teenager but the first. One she bought on their own didnt last long. Run yes she explains that her first car fell victim to rust she had just finished your studies and wanted to spend some time abroad but she didnt want to give her brother and sister the car she parked in the inner grandparents garage and left for canada when she came back and opened the garage door it was rusted through and through it had been moved that means i need to stand neighbor out of up with awful costs it would not give a thought to. Anna was in the only are for to be claimed by rust the models arjun emesis but elizabeth never forgot her old r four so in two thousand and ten she went out and bought her madam b. But it wasnt as simple as paying the Purchase Price the car was shiny bright outside but riddled with bugs in sight she only noticed them after she got the car home so elizabeth had to put lots of work into restoring her new are for but had only brought her in madame de closer together recently they joined a group in france. We have on elizabeth recounts that they were all driving renaults and she was there with madame the five one the one they spent the night in an old mill she started talking to the hostess who told her she did wired an old r. Ford together with the mill and i think. It was hidden under some bushes someone to stand for. What happened elizabeth asked what she intended to do with it and the host has gave it to her elizabeth got a renault mechanics outfit from someone in the group buys that keep the become what i had borrowed the hose boots from the mill and then she and waded into the black berry brand thats one best cook. On that day there she found a beautiful old r. Four that still had its chrome trim she worked on it for an hour and a half and screwing all the chrome part she could get. She was overjoyed that she could have so much fun with her own car. This is all she has fun driving it even if it isnt that fast as show gets or dependably from a to b. Even if the radio crackles fine but she could live with that you cannot thought call. Her current are four stands in the same barn the first one did so long ago but its in vans from work car to sunday car and elizabeth wont lose this one derived not if she can help.
