Opel Ampera-E Premiere Exterior/Interior Preview (Chevrolet Bolt EV)
The Opel Ampera-E, previewed at the Paris Motor Show, is presented as a groundbreaking electric vehicle built on an all-new platform, distinct from tr... moreaditional combustion engine models. The reviewer highlights its impressive 500km claimed electric range, positioning it as a potential game-changer for mass-market electric mobility. Key design elements include a van-like exterior with Opel's latest design language, a spacious interior despite its compact exterior dimensions (comparable to a compact class car like the Astra but with more interior space), and a focus on practicality. Positives noted are the generous rear legroom, ample trunk space (381 liters), and the integrated battery design contributing to stiffness and a low center of gravity, promising agile handling.

The reviewer praises the up... moredated exterior design, noting its more elegant silhouette and improved rear proportions compared to the previous generation. Key features like the acid green accents, distinctive four-dot LED headlights, and the '90s-inspired spider rims are pointed out. Inside, the focus is on the horizontal design language, the new infotainment system with haptic feedback, and the premium materials, though the reviewer expresses a preference for Alcantara seats.

The electric range is stated at 51 km, with the ability to drive purely electric up to 140 km/h in the city. The reviewer finds the driving modes well-implemented, offering flexibility from pure electric cruising to Sport Plus performance. While acknowledging the luxury and comfort, the reviewer notes that the rear seating might not appeal to all, preferring an SUV-like position. The interview with CEO Oliver Blume reinforces Porsche's commitment to electrification as a performance enhancer, not just an environmental measure, and hints at future, even more performance-oriented hybrid versions and eventual fully electric models. less
The Future VW: Electric Car Volkswagen I.D. Preview Exterior/Interior/Facts
The Volkswagen I.D. concept car, previewed at the Paris Motor Show, represents a significant shift for the brand towards an electric future, aiming to... more sell 1 million EVs by 2025. The exterior design is lauded for being attractive and modern, managing to avoid the bulkiness often associated with electric cars, while retaining some familiar Volkswagen cues. The interior, dubbed 'open space,' emphasizes spaciousness and sustainability, featuring a minimalist design with no physical buttons except for the hazard lights. A key highlight is the potential for full autonomous driving by 2025, with the steering wheel retracting into the dashboard. The concept boasts a range of 400-600 km and a compact exterior with a Passat-like wheelbase, offering impressive interior space.

Kia Optima Sportswagon GT Estate 245 hp Full Review Test Driven & Plugin-Hybrid
The Kia Optima Sportswagon GT is presented as a sporty estate with a powerful 245 hp engine, offering an aggressive exterior design that Kia is increa... moresingly known for. The reviewer praises the sharp LED headlights and the overall aggressive stance, though notes some chrome accents might be overdone. Inside, the cabin is described as conservative but functional, with soft-touch materials in key areas, though some hard plastics are present. The seats, while featuring a GT logo, are noted as being real leather, which the reviewer would prefer to see replaced with Alcantara. Driving dynamics are highlighted, with a direct steering feel and a sporty, albeit stiff, suspension in the GT trim, which can be uncomfortable on rougher roads. The reviewer notes the car feels surprisingly manageable despite its size and power. Fuel consumption is higher than official figures, especially when driven spiritedly. A significant point of contention is the lack of standard blind-spot detection, considered a crucial safety feature. The reviewer concludes that while the GT offers a sporty experience, buyers seeking comfort might prefer lower trim levels or wait for the plug-in hybrid version, which is expected next year. less

Jaguar F-Type SVR Full Review and Heritage Racing Feature
The Jaguar F-TYPE SVR is presented as the pinnacle of Jaguar's sports car lineage, boasting 575 horsepower and the title of the fastest serial Ja... moreguar since the XJ220. The reviewer highlights its aggressive exterior design, particularly the 'Ultra Blue' paintwork and functional aerodynamic elements like the adjustable rear wing and large air intakes. Inside, the SVR offers a sporty cockpit with premium materials, though the reviewer notes the exclusive use of animal skin for the seats as a drawback. Performance is lauded, with a 0-100 km/h time of 3.7 seconds and a powerful V8 engine delivering an exceptional exhaust note, considered by the reviewer to be among the best. While the suspension is stiffer than a standard F-TYPE, it's deemed a good compromise for everyday driving, not solely track-focused. The AWD system is praised for enhancing controllability, especially in adverse conditions. The reviewer concludes that while the SVR's double price point over a base F-TYPE might not be justified for everyone, it offers maximum performance and emotional appeal for those seeking the ultimate Jaguar sports car experience. less
Lexus RX 450h F-Sport Full Review Test Driven All-New Gen Hybrid
The Lexus RX 450h F-Sport presents a striking, albeit polarizing, exterior design that commands attention. Inside, the cabin offers refined build qual... moreity and a comfortable, commanding driving position, though the infotainment system's control method is deemed overly complicated and potentially distracting. The hybrid powertrain is praised for its ability to replace a traditional diesel engine, offering reasonable real-world fuel consumption (around 8.5 L/100km) for its size and weight, and the ability to drive silently in EV mode at lower speeds is a definite plus. However, the F-Sport variant's suspension is criticized for being too rough over potholes, compromising the overall comfort expected from a large SUV, leading the reviewer to recommend non-F-Sport variants for a more balanced ride. While performance is adequate, the CVT transmission's behavior during hard acceleration is noted. Overall, it's a competitive offering with a strong hybrid system and excellent comfort, but the F-Sport's ride quality is a significant drawback. less
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Full Review Test Driven Facelift 2016
The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid facelift receives a generally positive review, highlighting its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and the effectiveness of i... morets hybrid system, particularly in city driving. The reviewer praises the updated exterior design, noting a more modern and slimmer front end, and the attractive crystal design of the taillights. Inside, the cloth seats are commended for their comfort and design, and the overall interior space is deemed excellent for four adults. The hybrid system's efficiency is a key focus, with real-world consumption figures close to official ratings, especially in urban environments where regenerative braking and EV mode are most beneficial. However, the reviewer points out that the hybrid system's advantage diminishes on the highway due to the added weight. Criticisms include a somewhat dated infotainment system with slow response times, a mix of hard and soft plastics in the interior, and a trunk space that is limited in height. The reviewer also notes that the EV mode is quickly overridden by throttle input and that the steering feels artificial at higher speeds. Despite these drawbacks, the RAV4 Hybrid is considered a solid, comfortable, and well-packaged compact SUV, especially given its competitive pricing for the hybrid technology. less
Nissan Leaf Full Review 30 kWh 250 km Battery Upgrade Test Driven Electric Car
The Nissan Leaf, equipped with an upgraded 30 kWh battery offering up to 250 km of range, presents a compelling value proposition, especially with its... more accessible entry price of around €9,000. While the reviewer finds the exterior design polarizing and not a personal favorite, particularly the rear, the interior offers reasonable space and comfort for a compact car. The driving experience is highlighted as the vehicle's greatest strength, characterized by a calm, agile, and fun electric ride, especially in city driving. The instant torque provides brisk acceleration, outperforming many combustion engine cars off the line. Real-world range is estimated at around 220-230 km with climate control and spirited driving, reaching the advertised 250 km with conservative driving and AC off. Downsides include limited visibility due to the A-pillar and a somewhat dated infotainment system. Despite design reservations, the Leaf's practicality, comfortable ride, and the overall positive driving experience make it a strong contender in the electric vehicle market, evidenced by its global sales success. less
First Electric 26t Truck Mercedes Urban E-Truck Concept Lkw Fuso Canter E-Cell
This video introduces the Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck concept, a heavy-duty electric truck designed for urban distribution. The reviewer highlights tha... moret this concept truck, with a total weight capacity of 26 tons and a projected range of up to 200 km, is based on the three-axle short-radius Mercedes-Benz distribution truck. While the final design remains under camouflage, the focus is on its purely electric powertrain, featuring three battery packs and electric motors integrated into the axle. Daimler anticipates strong customer demand and significant running cost savings compared to internal combustion engine trucks, estimating savings of around 7,000 EUR per 10,000 km. The interview with Sven Eners from product truck engineering reveals that key challenges include economics and range, with the target range of 200 km being met for typical urban distribution needs. The Fuso Canter E-Cell is mentioned as a smaller, proven electric truck that has undergone extensive testing. The Urban eTruck is slated for production readiness by 2020, with Daimler leveraging its extensive experience in truck manufacturing and powertrain integration to prepare for future competition, including potential autonomous and semi-autonomous features. less
Kia Niro Full Review Test Driven All-New Hybrid Crossover 2017
The Kia Niro Hybrid is presented as a surprisingly competent and affordable compact crossover, offering a compelling blend of practicality, build qual... moreity, and fuel efficiency. The reviewer highlights its modern crossover design, spacious interior with excellent build quality that rivals more premium vehicles, and a clever use of space, particularly in the rear seating and trunk. The hybrid system, while not groundbreaking, is praised for its effectiveness in city driving, allowing for significant electric-only operation and contributing to a real-world consumption figure that remarkably matched the official rating (4.4 L/100km) under specific conditions. The reviewer criticizes the use of genuine leather in a hybrid model, advocating for cloth seats in lower trims. Performance is deemed adequate for city use but lacking for aggressive highway overtaking. Overall, the Niro Hybrid is lauded as a significant surprise and one of the best achievable, affordable hybrid vehicles reviewed, with anticipation for the plug-in hybrid variant. less
All-new Toyota Mirai Full Review Test Driven Fuel Cell Car 2017
The Toyota Mirai represents a bold step into the future of automotive propulsion with its hydrogen fuel cell technology. While the exterior design is ... morepolarizing and the interior suffers from a lack of practical storage solutions and some cheap-feeling plastics, the driving experience is noted as futuristic and surprisingly sporty. The acceleration is immediate and linear, akin to an electric vehicle, and the handling, despite the car's size, is described as well-balanced with minimal body roll. However, the Mirai is not without its compromises. Rear passenger space, particularly headroom, is limited due to the coupe-like roofline and the elevated seating position necessitated by the hydrogen tanks. The trunk space is also significantly reduced compared to the Prius. The reviewer highlights the high price and limited availability as major barriers to adoption, along with the current environmental concerns surrounding hydrogen production. Despite these drawbacks, the Mirai is praised as a pioneering effort, with the potential to shape the future of mobility if hydrogen production becomes more sustainable. less
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Full Review Test Driven Plugin-Hybrid 2016
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV receives a comprehensive review, highlighting its position as a pioneering and still the most affordable large SUV plug-... morein hybrid. The facelift brings a refreshed exterior design, particularly the front fascia, and an updated interior with a new steering wheel and improved sound insulation. While the interior build quality is described as solid but ordinary, with some criticism directed at the infotainment system's usability and responsiveness, the reviewer praises the comfortable, upright seating position and spacious cabin, suitable for long drives. The driving experience is characterized by its silent and relaxed electric operation, with a real-world electric range of approximately 42-45 km, which is deemed sufficient for daily commutes if charging is available. The reviewer notes the complex but interesting hybrid system, which prioritizes electric drive but can utilize the petrol engine for battery charging or direct power. Downsides include the vehicle's weight due to the battery, a soft suspension that limits sporty driving, and a peculiar braking system where hard braking seems to disengage maximum recuperation. Despite these points, the Outlander PHEV is recommended for its comfortable ride, quiet operation, and the overall benefit of electric driving, making it a strong contender for those transitioning to EVs. less
Mercedes Glc Coupé Full Review Test Driven All-new Neu 250 & 350e 2016/2017
The Mercedes GLC Coupé is presented as a stylish alternative to the traditional SUV, offering a more dynamic exterior design with its falling roofline... more and redesigned taillights, which the reviewer prefers over the standard SUV. While the AMG Line and Night Package options enhance its aggressive look, the reviewer expresses mixed feelings about the optional side steps, finding them potentially less elegant. Inside, the "sensual purity" design language is praised for its emotional appeal and high-quality materials, though some find the central infotainment screen slightly detached. Practicality is a concern, with reduced rear headroom and a compromised boot space due to the sloping roofline. The driving experience is highlighted as a balance between comfort and sportiness, particularly with the optional adaptive suspension. The GLC 250 petrol engine offers adequate performance, while the 350e plug-in hybrid provides a silent, electric-only driving experience with a realistic range, though its practicality is dependent on charging infrastructure. The reviewer notes that while the Coupé is sportier than the SUV, the biggest differences are primarily aesthetic and practical rather than in the core driving dynamics, except for the standard sports suspension. less
