AutoWeek 3 will be in stores from Wednesday or you will receive it in your mailbox this week. In this issue we hit the road with the Tesla Model X Plaid, we put the Nio ET7 and Mercedes-AMG EQE side by side and there is a special encounter between two Toyotas.
A brand new Peugeot shines on the cover of AutoWeek 3; the new 3008 as our illustrator imagines it. We have an extensive story about what’s in store for the new 3008 (if the SUV is still called that).
Newcomer Nio seems to be able to reply to established names with the ET7, they are aiming high. In a direct confrontation with the Mercedes-AMG EQE, it must become clear whether the Chinese are not aiming too high.
We have come to know Tesla over the years as an innovative, quirky and stubborn brand. And as the brand of superlatives, because even the base model of the Model 3 is already very fast. But with the Model X Plaid, all stops are open. With its three engines that together deliver 1,020 hp, it blasts you from a standstill to 100 km / h within three seconds.
The new Toyota Aygo X grew considerably compared to its predecessor and shares a lot of technology with the slightly larger Yaris. Was the development of the Aygo X worth it? We find out next to a Yaris with the same engine, the modest 1.0 with 72 hp.
On the used car pages you will find, among other things, a Clock Round inspection of a car that started life as an ‘add-up banger’, but turned out to be made for a longer life than the lease period. A Renault Mégane Estate dCi 110 that has already covered almost half a million kilometers. Ronald Schraa bought the car in 2017, with three years of experience and two thirds of the new price off. The end now seems to be in sight, or will judge Tim come with a different verdict?
You can read that and more in AutoWeek 3, which will be in stores from Wednesday. Would you rather not go out? Order from the couch the latest number. Then it will be on the doormat within two working days.
