We take the controls of the Toyota Prius in its recently unveiled fourth generation.

We put the Sorento to the test with the 2.2 CRDI diesel engine producing 200 CV with 4×2 traction, an SUV that comes with seven seats as standard and that exudes German essence from every angle.

Los conceptos “40.000€” y “berlina francesa”, en principio, no casan todo lo bien que deberían. Sin embargo, no hay porqué cerrarse en banda ante la llegada de un nuevo miembro al grupo…este nuevo miembro -en realidad no tan nuevo- ha pasado por la sección de pruebas de Highmotor para someterse a su particular reválida. Hablamos del DS5 2.0 BlueHDi de 180 CV. ¿Nos acompañas?
