With the month of August reversed on the calendar, we have also started a new week. High time to see what’s in the latest Techzle this week.
Tests
After a packed Start with a lot of news, we take a hybrid Toyota C-HR. For a long time, Toyota was alone with its dedication to hybrid technology, but the market is now flooded by partly electrically powered cars. By sticking to the plug-free form, the Japanese remain special, because almost every competitor is fully committed to the plug-in hybrid. So is Kia, with the new XCeed PHEV. Time for a comparison! We also have a few firsts. We are one of the first to send the brand new Fiat 500e and we also get the keys to the Ferrari Roma! He even manages to kick it into a poster story.
Other great news comes by in the form of the new Porsche Cayenne GTS and the heavily renewed BMW 5-series as a plugged-in 545E.
Reports
In an extensive report, we highlight the transition from ‘old-fashioned’ car dealer to trendy webshop. The big conclusion is: “The old car dealer no longer exists.” Why not alone anymore?
In the penultimate episode of De Dijk, Sandor van Es sends a Peugeot 208 over a famous dike between Millingen and Echteld. In the endurance update, the gray Opel Astra Sportstourer is waved goodbye, but we also welcome two new faces. One is a plug-in hybrid Volvo XC40, the other a dark blue compact mid-sized car on LPG!
Occasions
At Klokje Rond, a fairly special car is driven onto the bridge: a Mitsubishi Lancer Wagon from 2006. Bart Theeuwes bought the Japanese in 2013 for only € 3,999 and drove considerable distances with the Lancer. The counter is therefore at more than 414,000 kilometers. What does Joep think after all those kilometers?
A wolf in sheep’s clothing is parked on the roller bench: a black Peugeot 308 GTI. Is there still 270 hp in there? Let’s find out in Techzle 36.
All this and more can be read in the latest Techzle. Prefer not to go? Order from the easy chair the latest number. Then he will arrive on the doormat within two working days.
