Preview: A spearhead, a semi-strongman and a safe bench
Almost all of Germany is on vacation and most factories in this country are taking a break. This is reflected in the volume of news and the much-cited summer slump. The editorial team will have a little more time for practical tests next week.
Following the discontinuation of the Phaeton, the Touareg became the spearhead of the VW model range. However, whether the luxury SUV will also make the leap into the electric age is still up in the air. At least it is already available as a plug-in hybrid. As a part-time electric vehicle with a V6 petrol engine and 100-kW electric motor, the Wolfsburg model is certainly convincing, Frank Wald finds in our practical test.
With its provocative design, the C-HR is the half-strongest in the Toyota model range. The technology is less provocative. The C-HR is equipped with the latest generation of hybrid drive. In the second practical test of the week, we find out how design and technology go together.
The Ténéré is a safe bet for Yamaha. The legendary model name was revived five years ago. With success. The 700cc enduro now comes in six different versions. We took a ride on the World Raid as an example.
We are also on the road with two family and business saloons with a sports car heart: the Mercedes-AMG E53 and the new BMW M5.i
Niesmann and Bischoff once made history with the Clou, and today the fourth generation of its successor, the Arto, aims to continue the success story. For the first time, the motorhome is based on the Mercedes Sprinter.
With the camper through a region that has hardly been discovered so far: in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the Alps kiss the Adriatic Sea. Away from the mass tourism on the beaches, there are cozy pitches on farms and with winegrowers. The Eura Profilia 696 EB was a good base camp for our author on his journey of discovery.
As usual, we will also keep you up to date with the latest developments and new products in the automotive world throughout the week. (aum)
