Audi E-Tron Sportback Premiere Review At Los Angeles Motor Show
The Audi e-tron Sportback presents a compelling, albeit compromised, alternative to its standard e-tron sibling, primarily distinguished by its coupe-... morelike rear silhouette. While the exterior design is subjective, the Sportback sacrifices some practicality, notably reduced trunk height and slightly less rear headroom, for a sportier aesthetic. The interior largely mirrors the standard e-tron, featuring a modern dual-screen setup and comfortable seating, though the reviewer notes the continued use of animal skin in a supposedly sustainable electric vehicle as a point of contention. Performance is highlighted as strong, with the Quattro all-wheel-drive system providing agile handling and instant acceleration, even feeling smaller than its size suggests. The reviewer expresses anticipation for real-world range tests, as official figures may be optimistic. Key technological features include optional LED matrix lights and camera mirrors. Ultimately, the Sportback's appeal hinges on design preference, with the standard e-tron potentially offering better practicality for those who prioritize it. less
New Seat Mii Electric Full Review
The Seat Mii electric represents Seat's first foray into the fully electric market, built upon the familiar Volkswagen Up! platform. The reviewer... more highlights that while the design and interior remain largely unchanged to maintain affordability, the electric powertrain transforms the driving experience. Key strengths include its nippy performance in urban environments, excellent all-around visibility, and a surprisingly comfortable ride despite the added battery weight, thanks to revised suspension. The reviewer praises the car's practicality, with a decent 251-liter boot expandable to 923 liters, and a usable, if basic, interior focused on function over flash. The infotainment relies on smartphone integration, which, while dated, is seen as a pragmatic choice for cost-saving and future-proofing. The claimed WLTP range of 260 km (162 miles) is considered sufficient for its intended city-car purpose, with real-world efficiency observed to be close to the stated figures. The reviewer strongly recommends the Mii electric, particularly the 'Plus' trim, for its value proposition, fun driving dynamics, and the overall positive experience of driving electric, especially given its sub-€18,000 Spanish market price. less
Toyota C-HR Facelift Full Review With The New 2.0 Hybrid 2020
The 2020 Toyota C-HR facelift receives significant updates, particularly to its driving dynamics and interior refinement. The reviewer highlights impr... moreovements in noise insulation, steering feel, and suspension, noting that while all models benefit, the 2.0-liter hybrid receives the most substantial suspension hardware upgrades. The exterior styling is subtly enhanced, and the interior gains softer materials and a more premium feel. A key positive is the long-awaited inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though the native infotainment software is criticized as outdated. The 2.0-liter hybrid powertrain offers a noticeable power increase over the 1.8-liter, with both hybrid variants achieving an impressive real-world fuel economy of around 5.5 liters per 100 km. However, the car's striking design comes at the cost of practicality, with a limited trunk space and compromised rear visibility being notable drawbacks. Despite these limitations, the facelift is considered a substantial improvement, making the C-HR a more refined and engaging option, especially for those prioritizing design and hybrid efficiency. less
BMW X5 PHEV 45e Full Review Electrified With New Range
The BMW X5 PHEV 45e review highlights its refined driving experience, particularly its quiet operation in electric mode and the smooth transition betw... moreeen electric and combustion power. The reviewer praises the comfortable ride, aided by standard air suspension, and the spacious interior, noting it feels more open than the X6. The increased electric range of approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles) is a significant improvement, making it a viable option for daily commuting and shorter trips. However, the charging speed is noted as a limitation, with a maximum of 3.7 kW. While the reviewer appreciates the integration of electric technology, they emphasize that the PHEV version drives very similarly to the standard 40i petrol model in combustion mode. The reviewer also touches upon the financial benefits, especially for company car users in Germany due to tax advantages. Overall, the X5 PHEV 45e is presented as a compelling option for those seeking a blend of electric efficiency and traditional luxury, provided their usage aligns with the PHEV's capabilities and charging habits. less
All-New Peugeot 208 Full Review: Petrol vs Diesel vs Electric e-208 Comparison
The Peugeot 208 receives a comprehensive redesign, praised for its bold, angular, and dynamic styling, which significantly modernizes its appearance c... moreompared to its predecessor. The interior also sees a leap forward with a contemporary design, though some trim details like the lime-green stitching are noted as a personal taste preference. The reviewer highlights the innovative i-Cockpit with its 3D effect display, claiming potential safety benefits, but acknowledges a learning curve for new users. While the seats are lauded for comfort and support, the steering wheel's design and limited adjustment range might pose a challenge for finding an optimal driving position for some, particularly concerning the sightline to the digital display. The reviewer expresses a preference for the automatic gearbox over the manual, finding the latter's long throw less suited to the car's sporty aspirations. Performance is deemed adequate for daily use, with the 130hp petrol offering a more engaging experience than lower trims, though turbo lag is noted. The electric e-208 is presented as the "full realization" of the platform, offering a more solid feel and instant power bursts that enhance the driving dynamics beyond its petrol and diesel counterparts. Real-world range for the e-208 is estimated to be over 200 miles, making it a viable daily driver for many. Overall, the new 208 is seen as a significant improvement and a step towards the future, particularly in its electric form, though some elements like infotainment controls and steering wheel integration require adaptation. less
Audi A7 Sportback S-line 55 TFSI e Quattro Full Review New PHEV
The Audi A7 Sportback 55 TFSI e quattro is presented as a compelling plug-in hybrid option, blending sporty S line aesthetics with efficient electric ... moreand hybrid driving capabilities. The reviewer highlights the car's striking exterior design, particularly its fastback silhouette and sharp lines, noting it as a personal favorite. Inside, the build quality is praised, though the extensive use of animal skin is flagged for potential future change. The PHEV system offers a respectable ~50 km electric range, suitable for daily commutes, with the flexibility to switch between pure electric and hybrid modes. Performance is a strong point, with the combined electric and combustion engine power delivering a significant boost, making it feel like a true performance car, even on wet surfaces. The steering is described as light yet direct, and the adaptive suspension provides an excellent balance of sportiness and comfort. However, the absence of rear-axle steering in the PHEV version is noted as a minor compromise for packaging reasons, slightly impacting maneuverability in tight spaces. Overall, the A7 PHEV is recommended as a sophisticated and fun-to-drive vehicle, particularly for those who can leverage its electric capabilities through regular charging. less
Audi Q7 S-line Facelift Full Review With 60 TFSI e Quattro New PHEV
The Audi Q7 S-line Facelift, particularly the 60 TFSI e quattro PHEV variant, receives a thorough examination. The reviewer highlights the updated ext... moreerior styling, noting its stronger presence and modern LED lighting. Inside, the build quality remains high, with a clean, horizontal design and upgraded infotainment system, though the extensive use of piano black is criticized for attracting fingerprints. Comfort is emphasized, with praise for the spacious interior and the adaptive air suspension, though the S-sport seats are deemed less comfortable than the standard or sport options. The PHEV system, combining a 3.0-liter V6 with an electric motor, offers a substantial 450 horsepower, providing strong acceleration that rivals performance models. The electric-only range is estimated at around 40-50 kilometers (approx. 30 miles), which is considered realistic for daily commuting. However, the reviewer points out limitations such as the absence of rear-axle steering and a smaller battery compared to some competitors, impacting pure electric punch and overall range. The driving experience is described as refined and comfortable, with the classic Quattro system providing a rear-biased feel. The reviewer concludes that the Q7 PHEV is a versatile and capable SUV, particularly suited for those who can leverage its electric capabilities for shorter commutes while benefiting from the combustion engine for longer trips, with potential tax advantages playing a role in its appeal. less
Porsche Taycan Turbo S Full Review Driving the E-Porsche
The Autogefühl review of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S highlights its successful blend of classic Porsche design cues with futuristic electric vehicle te... morechnology. The reviewer praises the exterior's muscular yet elegant lines, noting the clever integration of thermal management systems and the distinctive full-width LED rear light bar. Inside, the digital-centric cabin is lauded for its high-quality materials and minimalist aesthetic, though the extensive use of screens and touch controls, particularly for climate functions, is identified as a potential point of contention for some users, with a preference for physical buttons expressed. The reviewer commends the spaciousness of the rear seats, a notable achievement given the battery integration, and the practical boot space. Performance is a key focus, with the Turbo S delivering exhilarating acceleration and sublime traction thanks to its dual-motor AWD setup and 800-volt architecture. The regenerative braking system is particularly impressive, with 90% of braking being regenerative, making the physical brakes rarely used. While the car handles its significant weight exceptionally well, the reviewer cautions that at very high speeds on the Autobahn, the sheer momentum requires careful consideration for braking distances. Range anxiety is addressed, with the reviewer stating that the claimed ranges are reliable and achievable, and the fast-charging infrastructure is rapidly improving, making long-distance travel feasible. Ultimately, the Taycan Turbo S is presented as a compelling, albeit expensive, electric sports sedan that successfully translates the Porsche driving DNA into the electric era. less
All-New Volvo S60 T8 PHEV Full Review
The Volvo S60 T8 PHEV is presented as a sophisticated and luxurious midsize sedan, aiming to challenge established German rivals. The reviewer highlig... morehts its elegant, "professorial" design, instantly recognizable Volvo styling cues like the Thor's Hammer DRLs, and a high-quality interior that exudes class and comfort, though a lighter interior color is recommended for a more spacious feel. The T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain delivers an impressive combined 303 horsepower (with electric boost reaching 390 hp), offering brisk acceleration and a seamless transition between electric and petrol power. The electric-only range is noted as sufficient for daily city commutes. While the car excels in city driving with its quiet operation, light steering, and helpful driver assistance systems like Pilot Assist, its performance on winding roads is competent rather than sporty. The reviewer points out that while the all-wheel-drive system provides good traction and allows for some rear-end liveliness, the car's weight and suspension tuning (especially in the Inscription trim) lean towards comfort over outright sportiness, suggesting the R-Design might be a better choice for those prioritizing dynamic driving. The infotainment system is praised for its functionality and integration, and the rear seat space is generous thanks to the longer wheelbase. However, the T8 variant sacrifices some trunk space for its battery. Ultimately, the S60 T8 is deemed a strong contender for its luxury, technology, and efficient hybrid performance, particularly for those who value comfort and refinement, though it may not satisfy the purist seeking a sport sedan experience. less
Upcoming New Cars 2020 Highlight Reviews - What To Expect And What (Not) To Buy? Autogefühl
This compilation review from Autogefühl covers several highly anticipated 2020 models, with a significant focus on the electric Porsche Taycan and the... more new Land Rover Defender. The Defender is praised for retaining its iconic style and offering a unique, rugged interior with extensive customization options, though its high price point (starting at 50k and easily reaching 90k) is a notable criticism. The Porsche Taycan is presented as a compelling electric competitor to the Tesla Model S, lauded for its sleek, sporty design that belies its size, advanced technology, and the availability of sustainable interior materials. However, its practicality is limited by shallow trunk space and a less comfortable rear seating experience compared to its competitors. The VW ID.3 is highlighted as a significant step for Volkswagen's electric future, built on a new platform and offering a range of battery sizes and a focus on sustainability, though its interior design and the capacitive controls are noted as areas that might require adjustment. Other vehicles like the Audi RS7, Mercedes EQS, and Honda e are briefly showcased, providing a broad overview of the upcoming automotive landscape. less
New Mercedes GLE 350de Full Review - How Does a Diesel-PHEV Perform?
The Mercedes GLE 350de PHEV review highlights its impressive 31 kWh battery, offering a substantial pure electric range of around 100 kilometers (60 m... moreiles), making it a compelling option for daily commutes. The reviewer praises the vehicle's luxurious and comfortable interior, featuring a modern dual-screen infotainment system and high-quality materials, including sustainable options. The driving experience is noted for its quietness and comfort, especially with the optional air suspension. However, the reviewer points out that while the diesel PHEV offers flexibility for longer journeys, the integration of both diesel and electric powertrains might be seen as 'technology overkill' by some. The trunk space is slightly compromised due to the battery placement, though still considered usable. The reviewer also touches upon the vehicle's advanced driver assistance systems, noting that while generally good, the lane departure warning's brake intervention can be abrupt compared to steering interventions. Overall, the GLE 350de is presented as a comfortable, luxurious, and versatile SUV, particularly appealing for those who can leverage its electric range for daily driving and utilize the diesel for longer trips, especially with potential tax benefits. less
Honda E Review: The Final Urban EV
The Honda e is presented as a standout urban EV with an iconic, retro-inspired design that evokes a sense of future classic. Reviewer praises its comp... moreact dimensions, tight turning circle, and practical city-driving capabilities. The interior is highlighted as a major strength, featuring a unique 'living room' aesthetic with high-quality, sustainable materials and a modern, albeit potentially screen-heavy, dashboard dominated by dual 12.3-inch displays. While the trunk space is noted as limited, the overall packaging and interior quality are deemed exceptional, surpassing even some premium offerings. The reviewer finds the 150 hp motor and 35 kWh battery sufficient for urban use, offering adequate range (220 km/140 mi) and sprightly performance. Despite a slightly higher entry price than some competitors, the Honda e is positioned as an attractive and thoughtfully designed option for modern city dwellers, with potential for significant sales success. less

All-New EV Volkswagen ID.3 Premiere Review Exterior Interior
The Volkswagen ID.3 marks a significant step for the brand, aiming to be the electric car for the masses. Visually, it blends retro cues reminiscent o... moref the Beetle with modern design, featuring short overhangs and a long wheelbase that creates a surprisingly spacious interior, comparable to a Passat. The reviewer highlights the innovative MEB platform, which allows for a low center of gravity and efficient packaging, including rear-wheel drive for better weight distribution. Positives include the sustainable, animal-free interior options and the potential for an attractive price point due to the platform's scalability. However, the interior's software and infotainment system are noted as unfinished prototypes, and the rear bench's recline angle might not suit everyone for long journeys. Despite these points, the ID.3 appears promising as a practical, well-priced electric vehicle, with battery options catering to various needs and driving profiles. less

Th... moree reviewer highlights the aggressive S-line exterior, particularly with the "Turbo Blue" paint and optional 20-inch wheels, and praises the modern interior design, though notes the extensive use of black paneling and the optional "animal skin" seats. Practicality is slightly compromised compared to the standard Q3 due to reduced rear headroom and a slightly smaller cargo area, though it remains versatile for everyday use. The review extensively compares the 1.5 TFSI MHEV (150hp, FWD) and the 45 TFSI (230hp, AWD) engines. The 1.5 MHEV is lauded for its efficiency, achieving around 6L/100km, and its surprisingly agile driving dynamics, especially with the adaptive suspension. The 2.0 TFSI offers significantly more power and AWD, making it quicker on motorways and better suited for frequent overtaking, though it consumes more fuel (around 8L/100km). The adaptive suspension is highly recommended for balancing comfort and sportiness, while the standard sport suspension is deemed too stiff for daily use. Overall, the Q3 Sportback is praised for its driving dynamics, premium feel, and sporty design, with the 1.5 MHEV being a compelling choice for most buyers due to its balance of performance, efficiency, and cost, though the higher price point remains a significant downside. less

BMW 3 Series Full Review M Sport 320d G20 - Petrol, PHEV or Diesel - Which Engine to Pick?
The BMW 3 Series G20, specifically the 320d M Sport, is reviewed as a competent and agile mid-size sedan with significant improvements in interior bui... moreld quality and refinement over its predecessor. The reviewer highlights the car's sharp handling, particularly in Sport mode, and its go-kart-like feel in slaloms, attributing this to the chassis rigidity and optional adaptive suspension. However, criticisms are leveled at the artificial steering feel, which is deemed less natural than expected for a core BMW product, and the high price, especially when loaded with optional extras. The seats, particularly the optional leatherette, are found to be stiff and uncomfortable for long-term use, with fabric seats recommended for better comfort. While the 320d's 190hp diesel engine is deemed sufficient and fuel-efficient, the reviewer suggests the 330e plug-in hybrid as the most fun and recommended variant, especially if governmental benefits are available. The infotainment system and voice control are praised as among the best, though Apple CarPlay setup is noted as slightly complicated. The overall verdict is that it remains a very good, fun-to-drive option in its segment, but buyers should be mindful of the extensive options list and consider alternatives like the Toyota Camry for comfort and value if extreme sportiness isn't the priority. less
Toyota Camry Hybrid Full Review Camry XV70
The Toyota Camry Hybrid XV70 is presented as a compelling option, particularly for its excellent fuel economy and spacious interior, making it a stron... moreg contender for taxi and ride-share services. The reviewer highlights the exterior design as a standout, being both sporty and elegant, a departure from some of Toyota's more experimental styling. Inside, the cabin offers good quality materials and impressive rear legroom, though the infotainment system is noted as a significant weakness, being outdated and lacking Apple CarPlay/Android Auto in some markets. The driving experience is characterized by a calm, silent ride and remarkable fuel efficiency, consistently achieving under 5 liters/100km. While not the sportiest sedan, its 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain provides surprisingly decent acceleration, and the suspension prioritizes comfort. The reviewer concludes that despite some minor drawbacks like road noise insulation and a less engaging driving feel compared to its sporty looks, the Camry Hybrid offers a strong price-performance ratio, especially in markets like the US, and excels in its core strengths of economy and practicality. less
BMW 3 Series 330e PHEV Sedan Full Review Plugin-Hybrid
The BMW 3 Series 330e PHEV sedan (G20 generation) offers a compelling blend of electric driving and traditional performance, though its practicality i... mores somewhat hampered by a reduced trunk capacity compared to standard models. The reviewer highlights the smooth transition between electric and combustion power, praising the quiet operation and the enjoyable electric boost, especially at lower speeds. The M Sport trim provides a sporty aesthetic and enhanced driving dynamics, with the optional adaptive suspension being a standout feature for its balance of comfort and sportiness. While the interior boasts a premium feel and advanced technology like wireless Apple CarPlay, the lack of Android Auto and the complicated initial setup are noted drawbacks. The reviewer also points out that the steering feel, while improved over earlier models, still feels somewhat artificial compared to other BMWs. The price, particularly with options, can escalate significantly, but government subsidies and tax benefits may make it a more attractive proposition. Overall, the 330e is recommended for tech enthusiasts who prioritize sustainability and a refined driving experience, provided they can leverage regular charging opportunities. less
All-New Opel Corsa F Review Corsa-e (EV) vs Corsa GS-Line (Petrol) Comparison Vauxhall Corsa
The Opel Corsa F, reviewed here in both its all-electric Corsa-e and petrol GS-Line variants, presents a significant step forward for the model. The r... moreeviewer highlights the sleek, modern design, a departure from the previous generation's more upright stance, while retaining some of the Corsa's characteristic round shapes. A key takeaway is the Corsa-e's positioning as an affordable electric vehicle, a rarity in the current market, with a 50 kWh battery offering a claimed 330 km range and competitive charging speeds. The interior showcases the PSA platform influence, featuring a clean design and an optional 10-inch touchscreen. While praised for its modern appearance and technology, concerns are raised about build quality, with materials described as sometimes feeling cheap, and seating comfort for taller individuals, particularly in the sportier GS-Line trim. The reviewer notes that while the electric version is heavier, its lower center of gravity promises agile handling, a trait also observed in the combustion engine variant. Overall, the Corsa F is presented as a compelling, attractively priced package, especially in its electric form, though potential buyers should be mindful of the perceived build quality and long-term seating comfort. less
New Most Powerful Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupé Full Review PHEV
The Autogefühl review of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupé highlights its position as the most powerful Cayenne variant, boasting 680 horsepo... morewer. The reviewer praises the vehicle's exceptional performance, noting its astonishing acceleration and sports-car-like handling despite its considerable weight. The interior quality is commended, particularly the optional sports design package featuring fabric seats and an Alcantara steering wheel, offering a comfortable and sporty alternative to traditional leather. The reviewer also appreciates the hybrid system's dual nature, allowing for silent, emission-free city driving and exhilarating performance when needed. However, the significant price tag and the added weight from the hybrid system are noted drawbacks. While the Coupé offers a sportier design, it sacrifices some practicality in terms of rear headroom and trunk space compared to the standard SUV version. The reviewer suggests the V6 hybrid offers better price-performance, but the Turbo S E-Hybrid provides a compelling blend of ultimate performance and technological sophistication for those seeking the pinnacle of the Cayenne range. less
New Technology for Your Car! Continental Future Systems and Sono Motors Sion Test Drive Review
This video from Autogefühl provides an in-depth look at the Sono Motors Sion, an early prototype of an all-electric vehicle aiming for an accessible p... morerice point of around 25,000 euros. The reviewer highlights the Sion's unique features, including integrated solar panels that can add up to 35 km of range per day, a 35 kWh battery with a claimed 250 km range, and bi-directional charging capabilities. While the exterior and interior design are described as simplistic and functional, the massive trunk space for its size is noted as a significant advantage. The reviewer praises the efficiency of the Continental-supplied permanent magnet motor, comparing it favorably to that in the Tesla Model 3. However, the prototype exhibits typical early-stage issues like large panel gaps and less refined chassis and insulation. The test drive reveals spontaneous acceleration and a go-kart-like feel, though the suspension is soft and insulation could be improved. The reviewer also touches upon various Continental technologies, including adaptive privacy glass, a turning assistant for cyclist and pedestrian safety, a tire pressure changer, a puncture sensor, advanced voice recognition, interior cameras for autonomous driving transitions, a 3D instrument cluster, and a predictive ESC system. The Sion's potential as an affordable electric vehicle for the masses is presented as a key point to follow. less

The Alltrack variant is praised for its soft-roading capability and increased ground clearance, while the R-Line Special Edition impresses with its sporty aesthetics and blacked-out accents. The GTE plug-in hybrid also sees battery and range improvements. Interior space and comfort are noted as strengths, particularly for taller occupants, though the massage function on the ErgoComfort seats is deemed less effective. Driving dynamics are generally positive, with the DCC adaptive suspension offering a good balance of comfort and sportiness, especially in Sport mode. The reviewer finds the Passat to be a capable and relaxing cruiser, particularly on the Autobahn, with effective assistance systems. While the petrol engines offer spontaneity, the top-tier diesel is noted for its strong torque and respectable fuel efficiency. The reviewer suggests the Alltrack's crossover styling works well and that the R-Line Special Edition's aggressive look should be standard for the R-Line trim. less
