Techzle 46 will be in the shops from tomorrow, time to read what you can expect this week in our packed magazine.
Peugeot recently refreshed one of its most important models: the 3008. Since the spacious Frenchman started walking the crossover path, sales numbers have skyrocketed. Now it is time for the second round of this successful generation. Roy Kleijwegt investigated whether the renewal round has brought enough to put the 3008 back at the top of the favorites list of many. Of course, the 3008 is of course a facelift, but the Mercedes-Benz S-class is completely new. The benchmark in the top limousine class is ready for a new era. Time to discover whether the weather can become the example.
From the S-class we make a jump to the lower regions of the new range. Renault has released the Twingo as it was actually intended in principle: as an electric car. The Twingo Electric offers electric transport for a reasonable price, now the only question is whether you should not make too many concessions. Renault also has an interesting offer for those who do not always want to go fully electric on the road, for example the Mégane Plug-in Hybrid. Marco Gorter put it opposite the Kia Ceed PHEV. Two station wagons with a partly electric powertrain; is the South Korean or the French the best choice?
Today, a Volkswagen Polo is roughly the same size as a Volkswagen Golf was twenty years ago. In addition, compact models are no longer inferior to their bigger brothers in terms of facilities and handling. So you may wonder what you are actually missing out on when you choose a new Polo instead of a new Golf. In our section ‘Class Struggle’ we answer that question.
Undoubtedly, many Techzle readers have eagerly looked forward to a new season of the Barrelbrigade. Well, then with Techzle 46 you will fall in the butter. The barrels have already been presented, but now it is time for our regular Klokje Rond judge Joep Schuurman to find out whether they really are barrels. We can already reveal that there is at least one copy in between that deserves the designation!
This and more can all be read in the latest Techzle, which will be in stores this week from Wednesday. Would you rather not go out? Order from the easy chair the latest number. Then it will arrive on the doormat within two working days.
