Techzle 48 will be in the shops from tomorrow, time to read what you can expect this week in our packed magazine.
Those looking for a compact EV with a decent dose of whimsy will soon find the Honda E and the Mini Cooper Electric. Two characteristic cars that can still be attractive despite their relatively limited range. Cornelis Kit finds out which of the two is the best choice in Techzle 48. A car of a completely different caliber is the Opel Insignia. A hefty D-segmenter and a legacy from Opel’s old GM era. Some kind of time traveler, you could say. Marco Gorter examines how the Insignia holds its own in a rapidly changing world.
Another thing you hardly see nowadays is the a whopping 2.5-liter measuring four-cylinder that lies in the nose of the Mazda CX-5. Mazda holds on to large power sources for a long time, but whether that makes the CX-5 a nicer car than the even more robust and yet lighter endowed Kia Sorento?
If we still look at phenomena disappearing from the street scene, then a beautiful report about two legendary hot hatchbacks from Renault fits in perfectly. The Renault 5 Turbo and the Clio V6 have an immense number of enthusiasts and that is of course not without reason. Time to put the two in the limelight. A Renault that does not have to rely on its sporting performance is Frank’s Laguna that he bought for the Barrelbrigade. The Laguna can show on the rollers whether it still has its modest amount of horsepower and of course Stéphan’s Ford Mondeo and Nic’s Kia Rio can also prove themselves there.
All this and more can 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 he will arrive on the doormat within two working days.
