Techzle 23 will be in stores from tomorrow or will fall on your doormat this week. What are you reading in our packed magazine this week?
The main photo on the cover this week is for the BMW i4, but the comparison test between the Volkswagen Golf Variant and the Hyundai i30 Wagon cannot be missed either. Can these station wagons still break in a world dominated by SUVs and EVs?
You could ask a similar question with the Mazda CX-5 Skyactiv-D, so a diesel. Mazda still believes in that recipe and will return the diesel engine in the CX-5 after a major update.
No double test, but a double first driving test is the story about the Genesis G80 and GV80. With this related sedan and SUV, Hyundai’s luxury brand is now also attacking BMW, Mercedes, Audi and other premium players in Europe, so the bar is set high.
In the ‘Duurtestgarage’ corner, our playful electric Mini meets a petrol-powered Cooper S. To see which Mini really drives the best, we send both cars onto the track.
In The Hague we found Alfred Balm, who deserves a place in ‘de Collectieaar’ with his model cars and Bugatti replica in the living room (!). That Dutch car love also looks to the future is now proven by the new Dutch brand Lightyear. In Helmond we will look for the story of design boss Koen van Ham and strategy chief Martijn Lammers.
In ‘Klokje Rond’, a real Alfa Romeo 164 is hoisted onto the bridge! No, you don’t suddenly have Techzle Classics in front of you: with more than six tons on the clock, this Alfa is simply taken care of by Joep.
All this and more can be read in the latest Techzle, which will be in stores from Wednesday this week. Would you rather not go out? Order from the lazy chair the latest number. Then it will be delivered to your doorstep within two working days.
