digital instrument displays away. feature from as class cars. for example under the heading design you can display and configure the format layouts and adjust the various driver assistance systems and that in this day misses of all this is a bit too modern for you choose the standard version which has analog displays. to day may actually become a trendsetter with the kona electric so far e.v.a.'s haven't succeeded in getting much of germany on board for the electric future maybe this first all electric sub compact s.u.v. will do the trick. contest i'm glad some moment points out the driving modes have won over buyers in recent years and he's found ways to modify the conus driving characteristics as well these driving modes don't just save energy the sport mode for instance is geared toward driving fun especially when accelerating you to make . the kona electric is based on the conventional kona except that it doesn't have all wheel drive from the side the electric version looks just like it's gasoline powered siblings. but at the front the corner has been thoroughly made over for electric power there's no large grill full l.e.d. headlights only come standard after the midterm level. the flared fenders and plastic cladding when the cone of the robust off roader look that most s.u.v. buyers are looking for. him in the hobby to take on. he sees that the kona electrics

performance with a top trim level in the list for about forty five thousand six hundred euros in germany top speed exceeds one hundred sixty kilometers per hour. that's respective ice under the nose range is a crucial factor with e.v.a.'s as long as the owner can recharge the kona at home or at work this shouldn't be a problem but for journeys of four hundred kilometers and a stretch for example it's advisable for drivers to stop and recharge the car's batteries as well as their own light so it's the smoothest type for boy to come. along or trip shouldn't really be any problem for the kona electric based on the new w l t p test cycle the version we tested achieved a range of four hundred eighty two kilometers the batteries can be recharged to eighty percent capacity at a fast charging station in just one hour exact state of the charge data that can be called up on the infotainment system. as it exonerates thinks it's a good idea that an eco mode the instruments will show how much the range can be extended through recuperation at least that helps to relieve some of the worries about running out of range. that's fifty five bissinger i survived i just saw many of. their recuperating can be said to three intensity this affects how much energy is regenerated while it's in motion and from the braking behavior when the driver. lets up on the pedal the maximum intensity brings the cone almost to a stop as soon as the driver's foot leaves the pedal so forward looking drivers can go easy on both their brakes and their wallets. finds the idea of the kona electric rather clever instead of coming out with a futuristic e.-v. or sticking an electric drive into some random model and day has taken the electric drive to where the demand is then what good is an electric drive in a segment as it isn't selling anyway the kona electric is the first subcompact s.u.v. with electric drive so hyundai chances of starting a trend here aren't bad so i don't tempt fate and so does. the kona electric is a fresh idea for the evy segment not many car makers with electric cars and their range offer them and different performance versions or ranges a car buyer who is satisfied with one hundred kilowatts about ford and a three hundred twelve kilometer range can drive home a kona electric with a trimline appropriately named trent for thirty four thousand six hundred euros. b.m.w. has rolled out a special model m. to competition with an all new engine the twenty two board charged six cylinders put out three hundred two kilowatts with five hundred fifty newton meters maximum torque and as sound like no other it goes from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour in four point two seconds prices started nearly sixty two thousand euros in germany. germany's best selling electric vehicle is starting its second run the upgraded renault zoe is getting a new engine with an extra twelve kilowatts of power but no extra weight or no is also. promising a three hundred kilometer range for it measured on the new and more realistic a w l t p ten cycle. marcello is spain second largest city it's a teeming metropolis with a population over five million in the greater metro area that means lots of cars and lots of traffic. from the supply of parking spots fall short of the demand and stop and go traffic during rush hour fills the air with exhaust. my goal with the bicycle i have to. put a shiny toilet. it's a part of big city life but doesn't have to be a fact of it barcelona is open to new mobility concepts. the peers are a one building houses a lot of startups among them is the say at metropolis lab barcelona part of say it's a bid to become a mobility service provider of fifteen employees develop software and apps to make life a little easier for residents and commuters alike transportation has to be fast comfortable and fuel efficient so at the moment we have we are working on two projects one is a right charity project which. they've always make life easier for us they've always to be able to match people drivers and passengers so that rather than everybody taking their cause. to their working place they can share it. this project is a project that we call the boss on the men project which is similar but not all you are talking about the small ball is that. where you can book a boss to pick you up. and drop you at home if you are. in the waiting for a boss. it was actually you were going through at the bus stop and calling the boss they're going to come pick you up and drop you at your home or smaller buses run more flexible routes stopping where they're actually needed and damping to the existing demand in real time barcelona already records masses of data on traffic movements and makes them available to the developers. the size of the law so long as one that is very quick and tries themes like them will parse every novosti every writes every because there's not a message in the top and is as big as one of your it but at the same time is not a very small column so it's a mid sized surrounded by small columns so things like the commuting problem that i was describing before it resonates here because a lot of people leave on the seat and have to commute from the city every day and if we can make that better if it is very attractive to. another a sequence pilot projects is underway in the pirs or a one building's underground garage the metropolis lab has made five c. at emu car sharing vehicles available they can be booked by apps for business appointments and other business trips that cars are

with batteries fully charged the. enemy has a range of about one hundred sixty kilometers the choice of this particular vehicle for the car sharing project no action it. with our electrical car because a car is having. all the shouting forms of which are the fruit of his soul to the. it's also before for real. because inside the suit there. is something about this wait for us order if we select this type of car. this spanish car maker has branched out into mobility services the ride sharing app developed by seattle lab is set for a market launch in september the bus on demand will be

regularly competes in international rally events and now you can have that driving experience for yourself with the you are is g r m in. the car testimony live stick describes this car is a combination of a yacht and a lotus elise the g r m n stands for a good master of nerve regrowing this car looks nothing like a lotus elise but it runs like one with a one point eight leader one hundred fifty six kilowatt compressor engine. a taurus and limited slip differential evens out the traction when you step on the gas there's no spinning or wobbling in the front wheels the other is g r m n goes from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in just six point four seconds and as a top speed of two hundred thirty kilometers per hour sacks performance shock absorbers make for a smooth ride and provide for a much better spring rate than you'll find in a normal you are as. you say out of the ground he says this. car wasn't built for driving around the city you can feel the engines power even in the lower reverie but for a real driving experience you have to take it out on the road and open it up the fun really starts at five thousand raf's he does a lot of. about seventy five he says the i.r.s. has done well in this test so far but he says the steering is way too smooth and a car like this you want more direct feedback from the road but it's not just there . in my vision of what i'd like to thank what i dasn't all about he made a mistake if. you can tell just by looking at his special edition jarosz that it's a powerful vehicle the front facia come down low. and the side near roof and rear spoiler are all painted black you won't find that on the production version. the interior design is simple and functional with lots of rounded contours otherwise it makes pretty much like a normal jarosz. the highlights include sporty but could seats that really lock you in. if you got catapult ronnie says that any high performance car with a powerful engine should also have an effective braking system and this one does up front for part fixed caliper brakes and floating calipers in the rear. and if you really have to slam on the brakes they'll do the job i was talking about. ronnie can't find much to complain about with his car except maybe that it comes only and a three door version or rather came past tense. doesn't resonate with he says that because who recently created a great car with a young man it's got a powerful engine but they made only four hundred for the european market in two hundred for japan still was some luck you might be able to find a used one for sale at this and often involve. the don't know classy ground we took place in june for the thirteenth time there's lots of excitement here an average two hundred entries makes it one of germany's biggest vintage car rallies included in the starting lineup are classics like this prime rose yellow jaguar eat type or x k e. t a shills points out that this is his home region and it's the eleventh or twelfth time he's taken part to him the weather's like a dream said the album and. it's the right weather for convertibles of all makes once again the range of models competing in this year's doing now classic rally is pretty amazing. the starting point is english dot site of outings headquarters the entries will be touring in style around six hundred fifty kilometers have been various picturesque countryside and car maker country. hard time finnish cars also look great the horns and audi classics feel right at home here among them this rare audi one hundred two p.s. . on the phone in the hall just found that thomas graham takes planes that for a vintage car his audi is very enjoyable to draw. if it even has an automatic transmission it's like it dries in sophos specially when compared to pre-war machines those drivers had to work hard but thomas can look forward to our relaxing day. in the early one nine hundred seventy s. this smart coupe a boasted about its eighty two horsepower and the even bigger one hundred twelve horsepower version. but engine performance is not a major factor in the upcoming special stage. this is one of the first or early quatro from one thousand maybe one originally it belonged to me show motos chief mechanic a freshman with the surname. he drove the car until six or seven years ago before on. his four sixty. maybe even rally sport legend michelle moton or some of took the wheel we may never know even harder to drive was another legendary pre-war model the horse eight fifty three a. rather begin the other driver get up and king explains that the special stage is about even pacing and orientation he has to regularly check the road book and let the driver know which way to turn and there are special pacing laps where they have to drive at a constant speed and cover a certain stretch right down to the sac and that's not easy in such a big heavy car it's so big but the moment the shadow hold all the such they're going to. they pass through towns and villages in the countryside around a ghost at the route is different every year even for the special stages and locations of the checkpoints. some drivers kick back and have fun just taking part is enough for them other drivers take a more serious competitive approach. the drivers cab at the cry. i would suspect taters distract them they keep their eyes on the road and their ears tuned to their co-driver just like in a real rally he keeps track of the route and the road book and monitors the car. the horse swears through the narrow streets the rules are just the same for all the entries you know ranking and his driver managed the morning stage very well the first special stage went fine on the last one they missed an exit and probably picked up some penalty points but they're not here to win they just want to have fun you're fond yonaguni when you feel caught in the hole that's a little nugget of on. doubt it's eight fifty three sport

nobody's been knocked out not even the audi or quatro whether it's impressive history to. this driver founded quite a challenge with some interesting test of endurance along the way the special stages could be fairly complicated and a bit tricky but otherwise things went quite well for him. spoke to him in the convertible drivers were happy that they can drive the whole day with the top down now
