The Mercedes C-Class Estate (T-Modell) Facelift, specifically the C200 Mild Hybrid, is presented as the most practical variant in the C-Class lineup. ... moreThe reviewer highlights the updated exterior design with new LED headlamps and a classic executive grille option, while noting the rear features design elements mimicking exhaust pipes. Inside, the cabin impresses with new wood trims, high-quality materials, and a digital cockpit with optional larger screens. The seating position is praised for comfort, even for taller individuals, and the electric seat and steering wheel adjustments are appreciated.

The reviewer commends the excellent sound insulation, smooth ride (especially with optional air suspension), and effective driver assistance systems like Distronic and lane-keeping assist. While the C-Class Estate excels in comfort, practicality, and overall refinement, it's noted as not being the most spectacular car in its segment but rather one that 'does everything just right'. less

The Audi e-tron's electric quattro all-wheel-drive system is the star of this driving review, impressing with its instantaneous reaction times an... mored exceptional control, even on slippery surfaces. The reviewer highlights its sporty yet safe handling, attributing this to the electric motors' independent control and the low center of gravity from the battery. While the exterior is noted as conservative for an EV, the interior boasts Audi's signature build quality and an intuitive infotainment system. However, the reviewer expresses dissatisfaction with the central console design and criticizes the lack of sustainable seating options in higher trim levels. Despite these drawbacks, the e-tron's driving dynamics, particularly its agile handling for a large SUV, are highly praised, making it a compelling, albeit expensive, electric offering. less
New Cars Upcoming 2019/2020 at Paris Motor Show Highlights Review 2018
The Mercedes-Benz GLE receives a significant redesign, focusing on an evolutionary exterior design that maintains its strong presence, particularly wi... moreth the AMG Line trim. The interior is a major highlight, boasting a clean, horizontal layout dominated by two 12.3-inch screens as standard, powered by the new MBUX system. While the voice control is impressive, its navigation capabilities can be inconsistent. The reviewer praises the increased interior space, especially the generous legroom in the rear, and the flexibility of the movable rear bench. However, a drawback noted is the reduced front visibility due to the sporty design and a slight backward lean of the rear bench. The new suspension systems, including the optional Active Body Control, promise enhanced off-road and on-road capabilities. The reviewer concludes that while the exterior is a personal favorite, the interior's digitalization and build quality are top-notch, making it a strong contender in the full-size SUV segment, though the GLS is suggested for those needing a truly usable third row. less
DS3 Crossback Review Electric E-Tense vs Petrol/Diesel
The DS3 Crossback emerges as a unique contender in the small premium SUV segment, offering a compelling choice between petrol, diesel, and a fully ele... morectric E-Tense variant. The reviewer highlights its distinctive styling, both inside and out, with a particular emphasis on the customizable color schemes and the bold geometric interior design. While the E-Tense model boasts a 50 kWh battery promising around 190 miles of range and a respectable 136 horsepower, the reviewer notes that the car's interior, while visually striking with plush materials and unique forms, prioritizes form over function in some areas, such as the door pockets and the placement of some controls. Rear legroom is noted as limited, and the seating position can feel slightly unusual, especially for taller individuals. However, the reviewer praises the car's overall design, the integration of new technology like optional LED matrix lights, and the potential for personalization. The electric version is seen as a positive step for the brand and a welcome addition to the market for affordable electric SUVs, though the petrol and diesel options provide a practical alternative for those without charging facilities. less

This video provides a comprehensive head-to-head comparison of Volvo's XC90, XC60, and XC40 SUVs. The reviewer highlights Volvo's strong SUV... more lineage, emphasizing safety and design consistency across the range. The XC90 is praised for its spaciousness and luxurious interior, though its diesel engine option shows noticeable turbo lag and lacks acceleration for overtaking. The XC60, particularly the hybrid variant, is lauded for its nimble handling, powerful performance, and refined driving experience, making it a strong contender for everyday use. The XC40, while the most affordable, is noted for its more basic interior finish and materials, reflecting its lower price point, but still offers a good Volvo SUV experience.

Despite these points, the overall consensus is that Volvo's XC range offers a compelling blend of safety, comfort, and style, with each model catering to different needs and budgets. less
Audi E-Tron Review: All-New Audi Etron EV
The Audi e-tron is presented as a conservative yet appealing entry into the premium EV market, aiming for mass appeal with its familiar Audi design la... morenguage. The exterior blends classic SUV styling with subtle EV cues, offering choices like traditional or aerodynamic wheels and optional virtual mirrors. Inside, the build quality is praised, with a clean, spacious cabin and a dual-screen setup (10.1-inch and 8.6-inch) as standard. However, the reviewer notes a lack of sustainable material options in higher trims and a somewhat compromised rear middle seat due to the large climate console.

The official range of approximately 400 km (250 miles) is deemed sufficient for most users, especially when combined with the charging network. The vehicle's towing capacity of 1.8 tonnes is highlighted as a significant advantage over many competitors. While the price point (starting around €80,000) positions it as a luxury exclusive, the reviewer suggests it's a viable option for those seeking a premium electric SUV. less
Smart Fortwo EQ Cabrio Full Review With Sustainability Feature
The Smart EQ fortwo Cabrio is presented as a unique urban mobility solution, excelling in its maneuverability and compact size, making parking and nav... moreigating tight city streets effortless. The reviewer highlights its fun-to-drive nature, comparing it to a go-kart, and praises the combination of electric power with the convertible experience for a heightened sense of connection to the surroundings. However, the vehicle's practicality is limited by its short range (around 90-120 km), which is significantly impacted by climate control usage. The reviewer also points out the high price point, the basic interior, and the outdated infotainment system as significant drawbacks. While the electric powertrain is lauded for its instant torque and quiet operation, the recuperation system is considered weak, and the need to reactivate the Eco mode after each start is noted as an inconvenience. The convertible's roof mechanism, while functional, requires practice and can be cumbersome. Ultimately, the Smart EQ fortwo Cabrio is deemed a niche vehicle, best suited for those with dedicated home charging infrastructure and primarily for short city commutes, offering a unique, albeit expensive, driving experience. less
First All-Electric Mercedes EQC Review Exterior Interior AMG-Line vs Electric Art Comparison
The Mercedes EQC marks a significant step for the brand into the all-electric segment, offering a blend of familiar luxury and new electric technology... more. The review highlights two distinct styling options: the 'Electric Art' for a more overt electric aesthetic and the 'AMG Line' for a sportier, more conventional look, with the latter being favored for its more aggressive stance. Interior quality is praised, with a dual-screen setup and new sustainable materials, though it shares many elements with the GLC, making it feel familiar. Performance is strong, with 408 horsepower and a 0-100 km/h time of 5.1 seconds. However, the reviewer expresses skepticism about the claimed 450 km range, estimating a more realistic 400 km (around 250 miles). The towing capacity of 1.8 tons is noted as a positive for the electric vehicle market. Charging is capable of up to 110 kW DC, achieving 0-80% in about 40 minutes, though home charging is emphasized for daily use. The reviewer concludes that while not a revolution, the EQC offers a well-executed, premium electric SUV experience with good practicality, though a larger battery and more range would have been beneficial. less
The Future of Opel? Opel GT X Experimental Review & Design Feature
The Opel GT X Experimental concept offers a compelling glimpse into Opel's future design and technology direction. The reviewer highlights its co... morempact electric SUV form factor, emphasizing a "pure design" philosophy characterized by clean lines, a "visor" front end, and minimalist interior. Key innovations include camera-based rear-view mirrors integrated into the dashboard, a panoramic glass roof, and a unique interior with freely hanging seats and integrated speakers. While acknowledging it's a concept and not for immediate production, the reviewer notes that elements like the "Opel Visor" and "Pure Panel" interior will influence future Opel models. The design is described as a blend of "joyful elements" and "strong design approaches," with a nod to Opel's heritage. The concept's practicality is questioned due to its suicide doors and limited rear headroom, but its potential influence on future electrified Opel vehicles is seen as significant. less
Goodwood Festival Of Speed - Volkswagen I.D. R Pikes Peak Record & Golf II 1987 Feature
The Autogefühl team attended the Goodwood Festival of Speed, focusing on two significant Volkswagen entries: the historic Golf II Pikes Peak special a... morend the record-breaking electric ID.R. The Golf II, a 1987 Pikes Peak special, is highlighted for its extreme modifications, including a dual-engine setup (one front, one rear) producing 650 horsepower, a V8 engine, and extensive use of rivets and fiberglass for rigidity and weight saving. Despite its age, the car is presented as a raw, engaging driving experience, a stark contrast to modern vehicles. The ID.R, the electric record-holder for Pikes Peak, is showcased for its advanced technology, dual electric motors delivering 680 horsepower, and impressive acceleration. However, the video notes that the ID.R at Goodwood was a backup car, not optimally configured for the circuit, and its extreme Pikes Peak downforce setup was being reduced for the Goodwood course. The review emphasizes the technological leap between the two cars, with the ID.R representing the future of motorsport and potentially road cars, while acknowledging the enduring appeal and raw character of the older Golf II. less
Jaguar I-PACE Full Review
The Jaguar I-PACE is presented as a dynamic and sporty contender in the premium electric SUV segment, aiming to challenge rivals like the Tesla Model ... moreX and Audi e-tron. The reviewer highlights its engaging driving dynamics, attributing them to a low center of gravity thanks to the battery placement and a well-tuned chassis, even with optional air suspension. The steering is praised for its directness and natural feel, contributing to a genuinely fun driving experience that sets it apart. While the exterior design is noted as unique for Jaguar, the interior styling is described as sporty and driver-focused, though this can lead to a feeling of being 'caged in' compared to more spacious competitors. Practicality is a mixed bag; while it accommodates four adults reasonably well, the coupe-like roofline impacts rear headroom and trunk space. Charging times are dependent on the infrastructure, with DC charging offering a significant boost in about an hour. The "First Edition" trim, based on the HSE, is noted as being well-equipped but costly. Overall, the I-PACE is positioned as the "driver's car" of the group, excelling in handling and sportiness, though it sacrifices some interior spaciousness and trunk utility compared to its rivals. less

The reviewer also touches upon the upcoming fuel cell variants for those needing longer ranges. Overall, the electric vans are presented as a viable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly option for businesses, with the main takeaway being that customers likely won't notice a significant difference in daily use compared to traditional vans. less
The Tesla Model X Full Review 100D Shows Why This Is The Best Car For Show-Off
The Tesla Model X 100D is presented as a vehicle designed for showmanship, boasting unique features like 'Christmas mode' and dramatic Falco... moren Wing doors. The reviewer highlights its impressive electric range, exceeding 500km, and the instant torque characteristic of EVs, making it surprisingly quick for its size.

The reviewer highlights its sporty yet comfortable driving dynamics, enhanced by the optional air suspension and rear-axle steering, making it agile despite its size. The electric-only range is estimated at around 35 km, with a top electric speed of 135 km/h. While the hybrid system adds weight, it contributes to a respectable combined fuel consumption, significantly lower than non-hybrid variants and competitive with diesel options. The interior is praised for its spaciousness, particularly in the rear, and modern features like the large touchscreen and digital cockpit. However, the reviewer notes that the electric drive alone doesn't offer a 'super boost' and is more of a supportive element. The pricing is considered attractive, especially when compared to the Cayenne S, and it comes with more standard equipment. The reviewer's verdict leans towards the hybrid as the most interesting and sensible Cayenne variant for its balance of performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. less

The Hyundai Kona Electric, presented at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, impresses with its modern, futuristic, yet accessible design, avoiding the stylist... moreic pitfalls of earlier EVs. The reviewer highlights the clean lines, subtle styling cues, and the elevated stance that gives it presence. Inside, the cabin is described as modern, light, and spacious, with a functional, understated digital driver display. While the infotainment system is noted as slightly dated compared to smartphones, the overall interior design effectively uses materials to feel special despite being largely plastic.

Seat Leon Cupra R ST vs All-Electric Leon Cupra E-Racer Review
This video review from Autogefühl presents two distinct Cupra Leon models: the performance-oriented Leon CUPRA R ST and the groundbreaking Leon CUPRA ... moree-Racer electric touring car. The CUPRA R ST is praised for its sporty styling, particularly the interior with its Alcantara steering wheel and copper accents, and its practicality as an estate car.

Toyota C-HR Full Review Hybrid SUV CHR 2018
The Toyota C-HR, presented in a striking matte blue, is a vehicle that elicits strong opinions, primarily due to its polarizing exterior design. While... more the reviewer praises the bold styling and unique features like the hidden rear door handles and distinctive taillights, they note that the design compromises practicality, particularly with limited rear visibility and a somewhat wobbly rear hatch. Inside, the "style selection package" offers an interesting, if busy, interior with diamond-patterned accents, though the reviewer criticizes the overuse of shiny black plastic and the overall comfort of the seats for long journeys. The hybrid powertrain, while delivering good fuel economy (averaging 5.5L/100km), is deemed underpowered, especially for overtaking, and the reviewer highlights the engine's loudness at higher speeds. The stiff suspension is a significant drawback, feeling uncomfortable over potholes and not aligning with the car's otherwise relaxed driving demeanor. Despite these criticisms, the C-HR's success is attributed to its distinctive design, acceptable price point for an SUV, and reasonable fuel efficiency, making it a niche but popular choice, particularly for those prioritizing style over outright performance or ultimate comfort. less
