You could think todays test car is a many but its not. Instead, its b r, a funky kids, and on user a companion, thats what they call medical names, and well pull that to the test right now. Walk them through s b or a brand belongs to the chinese conglomerate. Great wall motors, one of the chinese oldest and major car makers. We are a funky get to live us. 127. 00 kilowatts of power, and for a call that is rob small, that feels rob sporty. So if you press the gas pedal, it goes off pretty fast. It has the ability to go from 0 to 100. 00, kill me with an hour in a little more than 8 seconds. And the top speed is kept at 163. 00, which is more than enough to full every day driving, especially in the city, of course. But also all the german auto body. You could use that car because you have a lot of places. Well, there is max of 130000. 00. So this car can handle that without a problem. The, the are a funky get. A is available with 2 different battery size as the entry level version 48 kilowatt hours. And the bigger 163 kilowatt hours, that will give you a range of either 310 kilometers or 420. 00 for the bigger one. And that is quite some range for such a small car, especially if you plan to use it mainly in the city where small costs have the whole. Basically, that is more than enough to take you to your work place the whole week before you need to recharge the cost. Thats quite nice. The. The 1st thing that came to my mind when i saw the or off on kick at is it some what looks like a mini the and the mini is also available in a purely electric version add. You wouldnt believe it. The mini asked, the cheaper car comes into the wrong 35700. 00 euros for the base version in germany. And this call it the or a funky kid starts at around 38900 euros so quite a bit more the, the more a still is the better call. Let me explain why. The mini has a, a very small battery. We talking about around 36 kilowatt hours of usable energy. And that will give you in a mom and 200 kilometers of range. And that is virtually nothing compared to the 310 kilometers to get in the entry level version of d. R. A, so are on 100 kilometers more, that is quite a bit of usability that you gain with that car and dollar a funky can also have a lot of things that come as standards that you will not find in the meaning. The Standard Equipment use includes the Leather Seats of 360. 00 degree camera and a bunch of driver assistance systems. First thing you notice when you sit in the interior, the car does not have a start stop button. Instead, it will light up once you get inside, and so you can then simply press the brake pedal, put it too deep with this knob right here. Its a turning up. Now where the outlook costs that dont have a start stop button. And once youre finished, you simply press p, get off the call, lock it, and then it will turn off. Instead, you could also press a button that is right here behind the Steering Wheel that shuts down the car as well. But there is no need for that. You can simply get out and close it. Now lets look at the interior. You have 2 screens, one with the in southern cluster and the other one is infill payment and everything else. It is not that big. And as im sitting here right now, it is not that good to reach, but its touch operated. So height is a little small for touch operation. But dont worry, you can also use most of the functions with a Voice Assistant. And that voice assistance is either operate that by saying hello and then the name of the rent. I wont do it because it will then power on. Or you can give it your own name. If you have a name that you always liked, you can program it in. And then you can say things like mike, yes, on he can you open the window for me . The opening that does not only work with the pre record of things. So things to con, no, its some sort of of the official intelligence and this call will learn from what youre saying. And then it will be able to, for example, put on the climate are open the window without you saying do this, ill do that. But simply by saying that your heart, but you need to be aware of the fact that if you choose a name, that sounds a little bit like something else. For example, youre talking about the strike once. Thats what happens. So choose a name that is not very common in the language youre using. Video screen setup comes standard. With the Voice Assistant is not only work for things inside of the car. Hey mike, im listening. Open the trunk, scotty, which is pretty practical, for example, in the winter when it will be dirty and you dont want to get your hands dirty, can use it or if you have hands full, can use it as well. Talking about the trunk, it can fit up to 850. 00. A lead is with the receipts fold it down. If you bring them back up, you left with 228 leaders, which is not exactly a huge s you can tell, but its good enough for you a week. The Grocery Shopping the, the general driving impression in this car is pretty nice. It is silent in the interior, as i mentioned earlier, it also has a nice acceleration. Of course, its not a sports car, but you can go. Busy into cars a little faster then with some other cars. The thing i really like in this car is the suspension. It is a very good job of giving you a relax comfortable drive, and this is not a usual thing. You will find in cars in that, in small car segments the, a big i dont really like about the funky cat is the maximum charging speed and that is 60 for. Busy kilowatt now, considering that is a small car, it is only a mine, a drawback, because small cost, as i mentioned, the you will not want to use them regularly for Long Distance trips. So you will also not be in the need for all 3 charging your cost us, it will charge it at home. It, youll all boxed ideally or your work place, and then you have the time because either you will be sleeping or you will be working. So thats no problem, but a would be better if it could just be a little past that because there are other costs and then segments that can do that with, for example, 100 kilowatt or the are a funky can also comes with different dr modes, but what i find rob, the strange is that the button for it is found right here, the left on the Steering Wheel way, usually found the light on all the cars. And if you press it, you will get the acoustic feet back and you can chew. Busy between 4 modes of basically 3 modes that is explored equal and normal. You can also put it into all. Busy then the call would choose the appropriate knowledge for your style of driving. Further assistance is provided by blind spot assist. Traffic gym assist lane, keeping aid and more. All of these come standard or a put a lot of effort in this car, and you can also see that by the result theyve got in the euro and kept crash tests because it was one of the best vehicles in the small vehicle segments. It has ever been tested, the, the r a funky cat is definitely a funky car, especially with its unique and new features. For example, the Voice Assistant, i really liked it. Its learning. Its customizable, its pretty cool. The design is quite cute. Not exactly what i work by for myself, but im quite sure this call will find a lot of friends. Just like the mini did. The only thing im a little concerned about is the price tag, because as a chinese manufacturer are coming to a market that already has a lot of other costs in that segment. And then having a call that is a little more expensive, might alienate people before they realize that there is quite a lot in this call that you get for the money on all the, for the cat is very Good Alternative to the courage. Many electric, smart voice assistance, a decent range and adequate space. You need to make it a suitable everyday contain to. On the downside, the charges slowly has limited trunk space and a fairly high price. The up to move in a 1000000 to low because this the citys tax, the 11 is for the unbreakable. Im the oldest cab driver around here. I would say i have driven here. Its around 1955. The mercedes w 110 is 60 years old. And its driver, omar is going strong at 89. 00. The legend is always on the move in the lowest lab, and then the wheat jumped in for a ride with a veteran cab driver and this beloved machine. Well, the good, well is even though my life is along and naturally pays, no one dares to home. Can i learn how to drive the battery back . The everyone loves me. Truth is everyone loves each other here but im sitting together at a festival and they said, omar and i, we were the king of the districts. Thats how it was. Had somebody come out of the gate, i can say that i love everybody and Everybody Loves me by gods grace. I add up when i was 21 and 1955. I got my drivers license and then started working as a taxi driver. We have at the 1st here in the region that i moved and then further away rather, and shes not happy with that very. Weve traveled everywhere. The customers often came up to me and asked me, will you drive me to assemble . Going back to the syria. Thats is that the ones that i always said yes. Go ahead and buy the, let me it isnt just, im on whos traveled far and wide. So to have these necessities. The w 110, built between 196168 was particularly popular with cavities because of its reliability, comfort and lots of trunks. Easy to recognize things to its short tail, sends an image to american costs of the 60s of if thats yeah. Hey, let me know if this car is my sweetheart. Im based on the engine. Its very old. Ive got a lot of things that i have at least 40 years old, and that is that a new and that i bought it runs the and then how many kilometers has it run to me that was in turkey with it . I went as far as it stumbled. They look like that. What this car is all original. I havent changed a thing for them. Its simply runs, its a wonderful car. This my original upholstery, i left it as it was. You guys have the head that these are tools and the spare parts, in case something happens when i draw as low as about the matter is of course i need them the matter of having them so that i am independent his own laws and he will not allow the 50 both the car in 1975. He claims only thing is original except for replacement hood ornaments. I for the mercedes and the because ive tried, i know ive tested it. I tried a toyota, which is also good to you when i get this. I used to have a toyota crested, but that didnt stick with me to lie. Right. But i just never saw this machine is not, its simply not for sale or i know nobody is selling this car. And whats more important cars or women when its absolutely clear, i go out there for me. Its the car. I feel good in here and everything just view as of right, so im a fit for you. And thats why im or its been on lebanese rides with decades. He knows them like the back of his hand. And then, and thats not on the scene is quite often here is i love him because every month after they should learn how to drive my brother the bad weather. I guess thats why the car was acting up the, the tanks empty. Its like this. So they all around 40000. 00 registered taxi drivers and 11 and many without drivers licenses. They rolled back saying the severe economic crisis and the high cost of field in the country, the food was refilled. Societies is on the moves again, the was very good, very good. The. I love that, i mean, the color of the older, its been 10 years since omar officially retired. He still drive his taxi, and people still once arrived within the form of the streets of lebanon on special, but tough to rain. Let go, no problem, let him know, and i know that people dont care about driving down. Theres an accident. Nobody cares how much you have. Thats why you need solid, strong cars, like the old classic cars allowed. Otherwise you wont be able to handle the bad roads. I love your view about the omar and his mercedes off.
