sixteen million units were rolled off the assembly line. yet the current history amos patria has found the fourth generation launched in twenty eight team is all new a completely fresh start. the grill has grown bigger and bolder the headlights have been redesigned with much greater emphasis on aerodynamics. about it's not a genius is not just the design is new a lot has changed under the hood as well. ford has installed its cutting edge three cylinder ego boost turbo charged gasoline powered and eco blue diesel engines . the new focus has grown. just a little in size but this four point thirty eight meter mid-range car still qualifies as a compact. the interior space has profited from bad extra size the cockpit looks almost as if it has already gone virtual. and the rear of the focus reminds enos to mention that the springs have been repossessed and on the rear axle to allow for greater trunk volume and a wider floor. the wheel wells are more than one meter apart. even as a certain when you suspension will enhance comfort and dynamics this was achieved by adapting the force vector raised from the performance model for us to as t. to all the new ford focus models. being is tested the one leader ninety two kilowatt eco boost gasoline engine it pulls the focus from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in ten seconds reaching the maximum speed at two hundred for the average fuel consumption at five point one leaders from one hundred kilometers a choice of six trim levels lets the buyers adopt the focus to their personal taste inside and out then of course there are all the extras but then that's the one that . says the ford three cylinder engines have been popular for some time already now it's gone a step further and introduced a cylinder deactivation and the new focus when the cars moving at a steady pace and doesn't mean the engines full power one of the cylinders is shut down and the vehicle runs on the other two eunice's surprise that she doesn't notice any difference in the smoothness of the ride when she needs more output the third cylinder is reactivated in just fourteen milliseconds side of the fill and that i have one for the middle of the front without outs. and i have also new in the focus are the three driving modes normal eco and sport and this is the first time the new eight speed automatic transmissions been put into the focus is on the tickets that's. not as. currently the focus has the most comprehensive safety equipment of any ford model the umbrella term for the copilot three sixty covers around thirty drivers assistant systems the focus is ford's first european model with a head up display allowing the driver to monitor the speed and a few other indicators including the adaptive cruise control without looking away from the road. other drivers on the road benefit from the new systems as well if for instance the driver misses the no entry signs and starts onto the highway in the wrong direction the system gives visual and automobile danger warnings. that points out that the focus has been around for twenty years now but it always moves with the times the fourth generation too has introduced lots of technological innovations she's thinking of the cylinder deactivation the head up display and the selection of thirty drivers assists. the focus isn't ford's top of the range model by any means but this new generation within the company at least is at the cutting edge. audi has unveiled the prototype for inspires the all electric car the tron boasts an extra long range of some four hundred kilometers coupled with an extra short charging time. i don't go on that list of how these beautiful girl explains that the developers made the operations similar to alys other high end models so drivers switching from an a six or a seven to any tron would feel at home what's new are the indicators specific to electric drive like a special menu to show battery level and set the maximum charging charging time or so the car will be charged and the air conditioned when the driver wants to go on the list. of. the digital speedometer and the two big touch screens in the middle give the trans interior a rather futuristic look. the red and blue l.e.d. inlays on the dashboard the doors and center console are supposed to be i catchers although some might see them more as a gimmick what's definitely striking are the l e d's on the seat belt buckles and back. and report points out that when drivers switch from a conventional to an electric car they have to get a feeling for having a range even if it's over four hundred kilometers it's still possible to get into situations when the charge runs out this is what the range monitor is for that main menus vehicle indicators show the current range and range potential when. the range can be extended for example by shutting off the air conditioning and the sat nav actually takes the trans means into consideration. the report elaborates that the sat nav is. optimized for the truck if the route exceeds the car's range for instance from germany to stockholm the system automatically displays it with all the charging stops including amenities like restaurants parks and playgrounds and it considers how much time you're likely to spend there so drivers can plan where they will be and for how long. i'll these engineers have integrated virtual mirrors video image displays just above the door handles for the e trunk production model it's an audi world premiere they're controlled much like a multimedia system. maintains that the virtual mirrors are easy to work off the multimedia interface is a touch screen so this one is true the mirror has a proximity sensor so a wave of the hand will reveal the controls moving your hand in the desired direction with a just a virtual mirror to take your hand back in the buttons disappear to be replaced with the full image a lot about this sort of behavior. the virtual mirrors image has to be absolutely dependable that's essential for safe driving so what the report points out the mirrors self is leaning function explaining that the fins on the outside are aerodynamically optimized so dirt won't easily collect on the glass and if it does for example in winter if dirt spatters the mirror when it's snowing the protective glass heats out and tries to clean it off automatically if it's water based it will run off but if the dirty stubborn the driver gets a warning to wipe down the mirror by hand over the first one is the comment of i don't want me to start. up. the new virtual mirror technology is finally ready for production but otherwise the tron will look and feel much like previous audi models as a sponsor to rupert spiel for google ads that the developers didn't want to make the each run something. it's not meant to be nor set it apart from other already familiar cars it's meant to be practical for daily driving they didn't want to win people over to electric cars with flashy designs or overly sophisticated controls they wanted to produce a very normal car that offers the advantages of electric drive. out use new each tron will be hitting sure when floors this august twenty eighth seen. folks bought in design the particularly for younger car buyers interested in s.u.v.s instead of discreetly masking details in black and white the t. cross came through its final trial runs with flying colors and lots about the large grill already gave some indication the smallest number of votes functions as the family will be hitting show room floors this although. the best selling city bus in the world the mercedes benz is gliding into the electric age just like electric cars the isa charo can be plugged in and charged although the east city boss can also expand its range thanks to its roof pantographs the isa toro is supposed to be on the market by the end of the year. toyota has given its compact city car of facelift the i go now comes in three trim levels x x play and exclusive the look is sharper the handling better and the specs more comprehensive. the second generation i go was introduced four years ago toyota realized it was time to freshen it up and here we. see what they've come up with we're going to have a look at what has changed in that if i end up at. the front grill has been transformed from a two dimensional graphic into a powerful three dimensional architectural element critics might call it jagat. the slender angle headline clusters are striking the rearview mirrors and the door handles are the same color as the bodywork. the taillights are new as is the rear apron. and. all trim levels have an x in their name i think that's because and x. figures prominently in the designs that you see that clearly here at the front it's also in evidence at the rear toyota's engineers clearly wanted to stick with this motif from the last iteration in this facelift. i think that the next question that they have added this rig drill under the headlights to underscore the x. amount of one thinks it makes the i go look more aggressive and more sporty. look. all versions have the same one leader three cylinder fifty three kilowatt danger you do have the choice though between a fine speed manual and x. shift automated manual transmission at least in all grades above the entry level explosion. toyota says with a manual transmission fuel consumption average is four point one liters per hundred kilometers in germany prices started ten thousand euros for the entry level x. . they're more toy the engine is a bit small as is the case with most vehicles in this segment of course the cars are small to the torque isn't very impressive but the i go it doesn't aim for that to be a segment cars aim to be nimble and fuel efficient. the i go is all of that consumption is under four liters per hundred kilometers under certain conditions so that's pretty good. and what about the suspension. toyota has tweeted a little more fine tuning of detail work than anything major and to be honest and manual says he hasn't noticed any difference the ride is pleasant to me i go on corners well and he says he has no complaints. they're sure in the. other groups with some make up. the i don't know comes with the toyota safety sense center of safety technologies with a preclusion system and departure alert. and for blame by a problem with cars that are so small with this segment in general is that they are often very loud and side toyota has taken measures with this fix left to address that issue the insulation along the a.p. alerts and around the doors has been improved and they have beefed up the acoustic insulation in the doors the pillars and the dashboard. emmanuel things the improvement is noticeable it's nice and quiet he says certainly in comparison with other cars in this segment on good name by the very moment under the hood and these are the men from. the mid grade x. played boasts air conditioning a seven inch multimedia touchscreen as well as a number of options that allow customers to tailor their card to their personal taste. the and the one with as with most facelifts any good changes are quite modest and made only the right choices for a sharper look and a more comfortable interior emanuel thinks they've done a good enough job. behind ronnie you see the opal x. ray on the market x. crossland x. and a grand blind x. the grand land x. is the largest of these three compact as we say it's also the first opal with french roots it is closely related to the bridge euro three thousand eight that's because the p.s.a. group bought opel last year. let's take a close look compact s.u.v.s are very comfortable these days in fact the market is booming and four meters for the year the grand land tax is among the bigger models a little smaller than the mazda c.x. five in about the same length as the short wheelbase old spock in te hua a transverse mounted engine and transmission allows for more space in the interior . of the test are not the version running is testing as an eight year automatic it shifts smoothly and swiftly if you drive with a light touch you won't notice the gears changing for what this car does not have a free wheel gearing that on couples the drive train is soon as you take your foot off the gas. i'll just object to the suspension is consistently comfortable it absorbs big bumps and smooth irregularities so you don't feel full using oval is paid attention to the wishes of its customers and added a new top of the line trim level called ultimate the two leaders diesel we are testing delivers a respectable zero to one hundred in nine point five seconds and a top speed of two hundred eleven kilometers an hour so you can get where you're going at a fair pace. i listed given the controversy over diesel and what about emissions this model complies with the latest euro sixty temp stat. it has an emissions control system that uses absolute to reduce the level of my trip outside. the grand land eggs looks neither aggressive nor overdesigned buddy in line with its nature simply powerful and dynamic. the controls are all within easy reach the cabin design is not is futuristic as in the peugeot three thousand and eight the grand blend x. aims for a simpler and more sober feel no distractions everything where it should be and easy to understand. the open ground land taxes an appealing s.u.v. elegant and restraint rather than aggressive it has good ground clearance and it comes with an electronic intel are grouped traction control system but it does not have on wheel drive that's going to be offered next year as an optional extra so that's dead into some of those it's. even the way things are going this may not be the obvious moment to bring up powerful diesels of the market still the sleek and self-confident grand land x. is a worthy contender in the hotly contested compact s.u.v. segment. zero two one hundred in under two and a half seconds. we'll drift. these are long jumps and fierce battles for position these are just a few of the things drivers have to master for the world rally cross championship this year some of the world's top drivers including sebastien rube mathias extort and petters goldberg fought hard to knock the bringing champion yohan first office an office thrown. but christofferson gave his all racing on home soil to keep his leak. the transformation of tiny her years during the trampy and chip is remarkable almost overnight the peaceful village near the norwegian border population one hundred fifty welcomes over fifty thousand spectators the psyched up fans party at the iconic magic weekend they camp in the forest and talk about cars racing and the heroes of the rally cross. the track deep within the forest is one of the hardest in the world offering a thrilling viewing experience. it is a. weekend that they say if i spoke to magic and this rather cross is still alive it's a fantastic. feeling about speed being i suppose this is amazing. the pressure is on from the very first race doesn't use standard qualification times instead it all begins with four qualifiers with three to five cars each after four heats the twelve overall fastest cars get into the semifinal a qualifying concept that guarantees every race action packed. up. my house because if you have so much racing that is so tight with so much emotion and so much on track viewers who come here even for only one day get to see a lot because they get to watch everything a little like in american motor sports even watching the forty five minute live t.v. show is make it thrilling because something always happens so even a non motor sports fans will enjoy it it's guaranteed. viewing pleasure i think is this i mean. just to confuse matters there's also the so-called super law which is an educational section of track where tactics count more than speed it makes for an exciting race from store to finish. at the joker that means that in the qualifying if we do four laps in one of these laps you have to make an extra loop which is between two and five seconds longer so you can actually if you are stuck behind someone if you don't have the best moment you can dive out to the joker lap and make the gap office second try to be faster catch up the other guys so when they do their job on the last lap or before hopefully you can come out in front it's a little bit because it's tricky to overtake you you can play with the joker and it makes the racing very exciting all the way until everyone i made the. drivers get told to do the only important. sponsor who stand in town overlooking the drivers have to be able to trust their sponsors blindly. my sport is actually my dad. racing erratic as many years themselves so they have a lot of experience on this potter is. from outside the car when i'm driving so he tells me on the radio communication that you should do the job right now or you have to wait one more lap but you have to be two times quicker to come out in front or something like that. so i know how fast i have to drive and if i don't have to drive. to save a little bit not to risk a puncture and so on. the semifinals starting grid for the really crews championship has three groups the top three in the six qualifying for the final and it's a winner takes all competition the heat was on your song. and andrea has bought her were neck and neck in the first semifinal absorbed was forced to retire with a technical problem leaving dr ruth to win and sober overcome with disappointment. in the second semifinal kristofferson was on pole position and in the high speed for two time d.t.m.f. champion and twenty sixteen world reli cross winner monte is actually on fought hard to reach herself or something but he came out of his joker lock to land behind jimmy hansen. you have to work very hard to be on the top and i always been very perfectionist working on every detail on the car and on the day to try to be as fast as possible both working on the car and on my driving. i mean in this team since i arrived here i have been very successful and working very well together with pat there with all his experience from the back on the rally and we can use my circuit racing background to combine everything together in the middle which is actually really crossed. in the final no one could keep up with christofferson which only intensified the battle behind the two e.k.g.'s on these didn't pull any punches trying to overtake constance brazil. and actually force times in the out. extra room was given a penalty that put him in six place the deserving winner was reigning world rally cross champion johan christopherson. next time andrae met a
