Techzle 4 will be in the shops from tomorrow or will arrive on your doorstep this week. What are you reading this week in our packed magazine?
The news of the past week was of course the unveiling of the fully electric Mercedes-Benz EQA. In Techzle 4 you not only read all the news that this important newcomer brings, but also how the smallest EV from Mercedes drives. Techzle was allowed to drive it before the unveiling.
A car of a completely different order is also extensively discussed; the Maserati MC20. Maserati has had some difficult years, but with the MC20 the manufacturer from Modena shows that the trick has not yet been forgotten. Time for an introduction to a sports car that may herald a new phase of life for the brand.
The sporting spectacle of this week doesn’t stop there. The Porsche 718 Boxster is also subjected to a driving test. Haven’t we known them for a long time? Well, after the naturally aspirated six-cylinder returned to the 718 in the 718 Spyder and Cayman GT4, there was also a somewhat more usable GTS 4.0 on a daily basis. The latter is now a bit more suitable for every day with the arrival of the PDK automatic transmission and it is that version that Marco Gorter is putting to the test.
For those who are looking for a car with a more modest budget that should above all be usable in practical terms, we compare the brand new Hyundai Tucson with the Seat Ateca. The Tucson is significantly more extravagant than the Ateca, but thanks to a refurbishment, the Spaniard should also appeal a bit more to the imagination. Still, it remains a more conservative choice, but whether it is also a more sensible choice?
In Klokje Rond this week we will consider a car that has never appeared in this section before, but is from an old acquaintance. It all started in 2006, when Ron Hindriks saw the counter of his Civic go up to four tons. We are fifteen years old and many liters further. The Civic has given way to a Peugeot 308 SW 1.6 e-HDi which is over half a million miles. Whether the 308 has the potential to come by again in a few years, or whether Hindriks should try it out with another car, Joep Schuurman finds out.
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 it will be delivered to your door within two working days.
