BMW X4 and Mercedes GLC

2017-01-02T00:22:00.000-08:00

Mercedes further expands its portfolio with the expressive GLC Coupé and pushes into a niche that has been unoccupied by the Swabians. There the independent BMW X4 waits for the first duel. Comparison test!

BMW X4 Mercedes GLC

So far, the BMW X4 had a relatively comfortable existence. As the only medium-class hatchback SUV in the market, he did not have any competitive pressure. This is now suddenly changing with the sales start of the Mercedes GLC Coupé. The noble Schwabe, with its expressive design, comfortable driving characteristics and extensive safety technology, is ready to challenge the field stag. In the comparison test, the 204 hp strong GLC 250 d 4Matic Coupé will compete against the BMW X4 xDrive20d with 190 hp. Which of the two stylish all-wheelers offers the better overall package? Although a large-family-friendly space utilization of these designer pieces certainly was not at the top of the specification, both the BMW X4 and the new Mercedes GLC Coupé bring a high degree of practicality. In the front seats even large persons enjoy a lot of space for free unfolding - with easy advantages for the Mercedes, which provides more free flying. And also for luggage both leave exactly the same amount of space: 500 to 1400 liters. In addition, the variability largely corresponds to that of conventional SUVs.

Mercedes GLC 250d

TEST: MERCEDES GLC AND BMW X4
However, neither the BMW nor the Daimler is a genuine transformation artist. They can not offer more than a three-piece rear seat backrest. After all, both hatchback SUVs already have an electrically opening and closing tailgate as standard. The design concept with the coupéhaft dropping roof lines, however, makes itself quite noticeable on the rear seats - in the negative sense. Here, the BMW and the Mercedes are very embarrassed about their Steilheck brothers. People up to about 1.80 meters can nevertheless be easily accommodated on longer distances - in some cases, the leg clearance in both cases is quite generous. Speaking abundantly: This attribute also applies to the safety equipment in the Mercedes GLC. Assistance systems such as a rear-end warning, an autonomous emergency brake or a rear-view camera are on-board at the factory. The BMW countered with standard Xenon headlights and a downhill control. Further helpers, for example, distance control, blind spot warning systems, tracking systems, adaptive LED spotlights, ambient cameras or head-up display, cost as well here and there extra.

BOTH CARS ARE A HIGH QUALITY OF PRACTICABILITY
Taking off long stages in the Mercedes GLC is more like a load. Responsible for this is the sämige suspension comfort, which enables the Air Body Control (2261 Euro), which is subject to a surcharge. Long waves iron the set-up equipped with adaptive dampers and air suspension competently, so that the Daimler is lying on almost every background full and quiet on the road. It does not matter whether you are sitting alone in the car or the maximum permissible weight of 2520 kilograms. The BMW is quite different: although the X4 is quite sensitive, it is overall too tightly tuned to the GLC seriously parody. Even on the highway, its construction in the comfort and sports mode of the adaptive dampers (1100 euros) is always easy to move. A further complicating factor is that the spring travel reserves of the Bavarians have been used up much earlier during full loading. In addition, our test car is annoying on bad grounds with unsightly, because clearly audible rattling noises on the front axle.

Mercedes GLC Series

GLC WITH BETTER SUSPENSION COMFORT
The optional sports seats fit the sporty, taut attitude of the BMW. They also prove to be very comfortable on long journeys, and when cornering fast with effective side support. However, they are cut very narrow in the lower back area. The two-liter turbodiesel under the hood of the X4 is a general-purpose weapon that performs well in many different BMW models. In this environment, however, the 190-horsepower engine is surprisingly difficult. Although the direct injector pushes the 1849 kilogram heavy 4-wheelers from the speed cellar quite powerful, but at higher speeds, the four-cylinder, however, the puste. There is nothing to complain about, however, on the usual, perfectly functioning, 2300 euro eight-speed automatic, which adapts the translations to suit the respective requirements. And the consumption of 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers is also in order. The GLC consumes an average of only 0.1 liters of fuel, but leaves the spray more impressive, especially at higher speeds, which is also reflected by the acceleration measurements.
More about the topic: Mercedes GLC 250 4Matic on test

THE MERCEDES IS BICYCLE DYNAMIC AND BREMST BETTER
Nominally only 14 HP more powerful, but around 100 kilograms heavier, the Daimler takes its opponent down to 140 km / h almost two seconds. In addition, the biturbo engine is better insulated than the somewhat grumbling BMW engine. The standard Neunstufen automatic, however, does not work as spontaneously as the transmission delivered by ZF in the X4. Even if the BMW feels more agile thanks to its extremely direct responsive variable steering (series) and its lighter weight, the Mercedes GLC is also equipped with a variable steering system, which sets the tone in the driving dynamics disciplines. This applies both to the handling course, which the Schwabe circulates almost two seconds faster, as well as to the pylon lane, which he roars with a little more verve. Favored by the sticky Hankook tires, the Daimler rides fast corners with greater neutrality than the sometimes heavily under-steering BMW. The GLC also gives its counterparty a course during braking. Only 32.9 meters (cold) the Swabian needs to come to a standstill after a complete braking of 100 km / h - Chapeau!

Fresh wind in the GTI's district - the Citroen DS 4 in the test and Pictures

2011-08-24T06:18:00.000-07:00

The second generation of the French Golf competitor, the Citroen C4, was launched in October 2010 on the market. This summer, now followed the sporty version called DS 4 that the GTI should be strong to defy. Can this succeed? Visually, one must say clearly: yes. Lines and details in design have been much more exciting than the majority of the competition. Thus, the door handles of the rear doors, for example in the C-pillar is hidden, so the DS can be held four fast for a two-door.

Citroen DS 4 also makes the interior of some compact runabout ago, with the sporty design here requires a little sacrifice. Such is the place for fellow travelers in the font compared to the C4 and the lower trunk shrinks to a still decent 385-liter capacity. Compensated for the DS 4 with extensive features and sophisticated look. Automatic climate control, dead-angle assistant, massage seats, leather steering wheel - all on board. The dashboard is clearly laid out, the only confusing controls on the steering wheel are a little downer. (Volkswagen Polo)

Street sweeper with lots of power

Citroen DS 4 So the joke's really going on but only when the engine is started. Developed with BMW 1.6-liter turbocharged engine it brings, thanks to an impressive 200 hp and knows how to use more than impressive. So the DS is 275 Nm at 2000 thanks 4 U / min competes extremely strong and pulling power. On the highway just once at 120 km / h on the sixth Gear and pass on the gas - in no time the little dashes in the direction of the maximum speed of 235 km / h. Driving pleasure is more than guaranteed.

Citroen DS 4 This is further enhanced by the perfectly tuned suspension, which the DS can be extremely safe and well fed four are on the road without slighting the occupants on bumpy trails. The direct steering and a crisp 6-speed gearbox to know to convince and underline the sportiness of the GTI Challenge. For all the fun remains the 1.6-liter engine is relatively economical. In a relaxed ride, you can easily stay under a consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway, the 10 liter exceeded only at a very speedy trip. (Paris Hilton's Car)

More expensive than the GTI, but rewarding

Citroen DS 4 28 400 from € 4 to get the DS with 200 hp. That is 700 € more than the basic price of the Golf GTI. However, the Frenchman does well to hide behind the Wolfsburg not athletes. The DS 4 with an exciting design that is confident, luxurious standard equipment, a great engine and the perfectly matched suspension. So if once again a good dose of driving fun is needed and would have wrapped this less conventional than the Golf GTI is the Citroen DS 4 is exactly the right place.

Vulture? Space problem! Sultan of Brunei can auction off parts of an exclusive fleet

He has had a fleet of luxury vehicles, the potential for a museum: The Sultan of Brunei can indulge his passion for expensive cars thanks Estimated assets of 20 billion U.S. dollars in full. But now it seems so sudden conclusion: The 65-year-old has now announced to want to auction off a total of 21 vehicles at the auction house Jameslist. The kicker: Most of them he has ever driven before!

A loss that will hurt him in the face of its more than 5,000 luxury cars in his garage (presumably the size of a giant parking garage) worth several million euros unlikely. Among others, his 2004-spec Ferrari Enzo (estimated value of € 1.4 million), the BMW Nazca M12 rare (there are only three models in the world), a Jaguar XJ220 come and a Mercedes CLK DTM AMG under the hammer.

2012 Sport Car Models may be BMW, Ferrari, Porsche

No doubt the prices for these dream cars in as dizzying heights as ride in one of these vehicles themselves So the new price for the rare BMW Nazca M12 with its 379-horsepower engine to about 379 hp estimated, something cheaper such as the Ferrari F50 is on sale the Sultan, who is at roughly 800,000 and as many of the other vehicles on offer was never driven by it. (What a waste!)

With the Lamborghini Diablo Lamborghini Countach and even some of the usual suspects in the auction are going to be another mix of jewelry pieces such as the Cizeta V16T with its Diablo-like design. And just as virginal as the majority of the vehicles. A wonderful auction where the bidding would still be happy, right?

Good words: 2012 sport car models , Ferrari Enzo sport car models , BMW Nazca Car

Volkswagen advertising made fun

2011-07-05T23:53:00.000-07:00

VW advertising made fun

At least since the final of the Super Bowl in the U.S., the VW advertising the mini-Darth Vader has entranced millions. Meanwhile, the TV spot has also arrived in Europe and the European amused VW fans as well as American. So why invent something new when you can also fall back on tried and tested?

Volkswagen Cars
The thought at least the makers of promotional comic book adaptation "Thor", which is on view in the German cinema and simply turned her own parody of the famous Volkswagen ads. The main role of the commercials for the movie we see not as a mini-Darth Vader, but a mini-Thor. Equally amusing and with an explosive exit.

2011-04-29T06:32:00.000-07:00

Nor were the simple yet exciting automotive era. His debut is the characteristic angular-Karmann-Coupe in September 1961 at the IAA. The customers it rolls just weeks later - in parallel with the VW Type 3, which provides the platform. In order for the first time in the target Wolfsburg automotive middle class. Set while still on the principle known bug that is built on rear wheel drive and an air-cooled boxer engine, but this time, but in larger dimensions. Of his siblings Wolfsburg should stand out, the 2 +2 seater sports coupe with upscale amenities and more flair.

For gradually do the VW customers in the early 60s, a lush body, more interior space and more status. Or at least, as it can provide the already millions built Beetle, which has the Karmann Ghia Type 14 served as a platform hat.Kantige character-box: The Great Karmann is 50 years in the fifties, the dainty-round car is one of the most popular vehicles of the German Women's World: More than 443 000 units have been built in total.

The relationship between VW and coachbuilder Karmann is quite good. In addition to the playful Karmann Ghia 1200 Type 14 is manufactured in Osnabrück and the Beetle convertible. The proposed Type 3 - known as a Volkswagen "1500" and later as "1600" - like the Wolfsburg in the segment above the beetle to go hunting customers. The Karmänner are now all ears. For them, the chance to develop a larger coupe.
Plans are to abound:

Shortly after the presentation of the original Karmann Ghia Type 14 from the Lower Turin, seat of the Ghia design studio led by the legendary Luigi Segre are numerous designs fluttered into the house. In Wolfsburg, we are quite open to a larger version. In the end, even the VW board chairman Heinrich Nordhoff personally go-ahead for the "Grand Karmann. The result is a project called "Lyon" to the Type 34, which is based on the Chevrolet Corvair built since 1959. Chief Designer is once Sergio Sartorelli, already the "small" Karmann has given his form. Edged character-box: The Great Karmann turns 50
New ground in styling

With its big brother, however, enter new territory not only in size but also in styling. With its edgy-burly shape stands out from the big brother of ladylike, as "housewives-Porsche" mocked type 14. This one is in Italy, with the embossed by the German regulatory requirements Front agree: despite the start of production are still present alternative designs with a different arrangement of the double headlights. They shape together with the generous glazed roof and the tall, slender poles, the appearance of the "34". Side by side with the little Karmann Ghia 1200 he continues to the present modern, mature and highly representative. At the same time, customers may appreciate richer performance data match those of type 3. Thus, initially, 33 kW/45 hp from 1493 cc to be drawn. In 1963 two years is long the 40 kW/54 hp twin carburetor engine in the 1500 S for use before 1969 is the sudden end. To the end of 1968 replaced Wilhelm Karmann personal mail from Wolfsburg: "The timely, mutual planning," it says, "we share with you that we commemorate the production of the Type 34 next year should. The problem is that sales are far fail to match that of the "small" Karmann, from which in the course of his life alone, more than 80 000 convertibles built-edged character-box: The Great Karmann is 50 years old have been. From these figures, the "34" but far away: After manageable 42 505 copies sold on 30 June 1969 deadline. The "Small" is still under construction, for five years until the summer of 1974 the Scirocco must go.

Today, the "Great Karmann" to the more rare models in the classic scene. The small number of items and the unique design provide for exclusivity. The present prices for these vehicles in good condition easily cracked the 10 000 € mark. Absolutely priceless, however, is today in the "car collection Volkswagen Osnabrück" Headquartered Cabrio prototype. In this anniversary year we'll see him exceptionally well on the road, Volkswagen Classic presents him at numerous events such as the Kitzbühel Alps Rally in May of this year or the Sachsen Classic in August. A big welcome seems guaranteed, as it also means if a big brother's birthday.

Gloss: If the white blessing is a curse

2011-01-10T07:43:00.000-08:00

In the winter apply: Car Snow rid of. Otherwise, unexpected things happen. Adrenalin rushes are guaranteed.

Snow is wonderful. He charmed the world and brings the winter only really in the winter. For motorists, but it holds its difficulties. Not just a lack of traction, some intricate braking or lurching tail in the curve. All of which can be calculated.

But sometimes the white blessing comes quite unexpectedly. Proposes, in moments of where we think it the least - and much less can use. A nasty scenario: In the morning we slept late and are therefore gehastet out of the house in a hurry, we do not as it should be, the car roof, hood and front bumper free of snow.
During braking, before the traffic lights then the burst of snow from car roof slides directly onto the windshield, estimated half a cubic meter, felt three or four. The wiper is powerless. So abgurten, jump out of the car and exempt, with the angry honking of other road users with their bare hands, the disc of the crystalline visual barrier.

Finally the highway. At 100 km of snow blowing from the hood on the disc. Wipers are a great invention. But then the wet white strikes unexpectedly and suddenly again. In proposing a loud crash of the above the bumper slipped and then frozen snow on the windscreen of one. The adrenaline after the shock sells the last fatigue. And the moral of the story? Do not forget the driver duties.

Car with inflatable roof

2011-01-06T15:44:00.000-08:00

Frank M. Rinderknecht, founder and head of the Swiss company Rinspeed AG, is something like the rarity of the Motor Show in Geneva. Every year he shows at the Spring Fair in the automotive industry, vehicles which differ drastically from all other vehicles on. Floating cars, diving cars, a model with built boat, eco-sports car in the science fiction theme or cars, which turned on a button, the entire body were there in the past decades to the presentation. At this year's Motor Show (3 to 13 March) the company is on the 33rd Views represented and shows a bizarre car again - the Rinspeed Bamboo.

The models for this project included the expert at first glance: The Mini Moke, the former designed mini-inventor Sir Alec Issigonis for the British Motor Corporation and its direct competitor Renault Mehari, who among the rich and beautiful on the Côte d'Azur yet now enjoys cult status.
But Bamboo has ostentatiously retro with nothing in mind. The view is rather directed towards the front - the drive shall also witness to this, as the construction materials used. So the name already suggest that many components of the interior are made of bamboo fibers. In addition, a general association with nature, by summer, to the south are made. Rinderknecht calls his car research "probably the only lifestyle vehicle with electric drive."

A 72-hp electric motor drives the nearly 1.1-ton, four-seat mobile. An electricity storage lithium-iron batteries are provided, the capacity of 16 kilowatt hours, is thus to specify a range of Rinspeed is assured of around 100 kilometers. On board, besides a folding bike is located so you can cover the famous last mile to the beach or the barbecue area and by muscle power.

To attract attention, Rinderknecht for Bamboo the New York artist James Rizzi won. The painted such as the inflatable roof of the study with his typical, colorful and detailed beach scene. On the roll bar of the car called a Rizzi-Bird is attached. The gag of the stylized spring animal, is changing its color can be. Rinderknecht imagines that is induced by the communication with other road users. Something like this: "A green bird mean about the passers' I have a mind to contact So where is the next party.?" "
Innenraumbeduftung with lavender, sea breeze or pine scent

The other meaning is intended to stimulate the Bamboo. Although a largely open car, the interior is to be traversed by various flavors depending on the choice of the occupants to enhance the well-being on board. The offer for the time being "captivating lavender scents, salty breezes beach or süßharziger pine forest smell," as it says on the website of Rinspeed.

Normally, the Rinspeed-Mobile funny gags in the otherwise rather humor-free environment of the auto show - and land sometime well as unique in any garage. In the case of Bamboo but dreams Rinspeed boss Rinderknecht of an industrial production - as well as conventionally-powered or electric version. The vehicle could be on his terms as a car in southern holiday destinations and as a shuttle car for summer cottages are used. The main thing it seems, where the car is to drive around one day, the sun.
