00:00In today's Auto Magazine, take a look at one-to-one small city cars with super-efficient diesel engines, Renault Clio and Toyota Yaris.
00:10Why do you have to get involved in driving? They say that the smart ones know the answer.
00:14We drove two great off-road vehicles, Nissan Patrol and the legendary Jeep Wrangler.
00:19We take you to the most famous design center in the world, where some of the most beautiful cars in history were created.
00:27Juraj Šebalj is testing Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7, the road version of the real rally car.
00:33After a long time, the light of day is finally coming, the new Vespa.
00:37Stay with us on the third episode of HTV.
01:2635 minutes for all of you who love cars and everything around them.
01:41In today's comparison, you will meet two small city cars that both have modern diesel engines under their hoods.
01:49These are Toyota Yaris and Renault Clio.
01:57In the class of small city cars, there was always a lot of competition between fierce competitors.
02:02However, in terms of diesel engines, European cars outperformed the Japanese, which is no longer a common case.
02:08This time we compared Toyota Yaris D4D and Renault Clio DCI.
02:14In appearance, the cars are quite different.
02:17Toyota is visually smaller and more compact, and Clio looks bigger and more spacious.
02:22It is difficult to assess the attractive look.
02:25Each car is attractive in its own way.
02:28The interior of the Clio is made of high-quality materials, gives a solid impression,
02:32and it can be said that it is still better than the Yaris, which is a bit worse in plastic, while improving the details.
02:38One of them is fast, and it is located in the middle.
02:41Seats are very comfortable, and there is enough space in both cars on the front seats.
02:46However, when it comes to safety, Clio goes a step further and offers a little more legroom.
02:52The most important part of the comparative test is the engines.
02:55Modern diesel engines are very good when it comes to motivation, low consumption and very good performance.
03:02Toyota's engine has 1.4 liters of displacement and is completely new in the range of the manufacturer.
03:09It gives very good 75 horsepower, which is enough for 100 kilometers, only 3.8 to 5.3 liters of diesel.
03:17Almost the same consumption as the Clio, but with slightly better performance and more powerful torque.
03:22Clio wins when it comes to performance, because it is faster by 5 kilometers per hour,
03:27faster by half a second before 100 kilometers per hour, and a little less expensive.
03:33As no win is complete without a look at the price,
03:36the Clio is definitely a win over the Yaris, which costs 50,000 kuna.
04:03Last week, at a press conference and test drives,
04:18the arrival on the Croatian market of one of the most popular Audi models, the second generation A3, was noted.
04:24A completely new model is characterized by a new, dynamic design,
04:28more comfortable interior with a larger offer of space, thanks to the 65 mm increased inter-axle width,
04:35and powerful 4.6-cylinder petrol and diesel engines with a power of 105 to 250 horsepower.
04:42The 5.6-speed manual and the new 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic function and front or quattro drive will also take care of the power.
04:52In the beginning, two engines will be available on the Croatian market,
04:551.6-liter petrol with 105 and a newly developed 2-liter TDI diesel engine with 140 horsepower.
05:02It is worth mentioning technological novelties, such as an electromechanical servo or a sports DSG sequential gearbox.
05:10Depending on the package of equipment and engine, the basic prices of the new Audi A3,
05:15which is now available only in production with three doors, range from 19,804 to 27,847 euros.
05:27The first Volvo sales and service center in northwestern Croatia was opened in Varazdin.
05:32At 354 meters, the Bishcup car house meets the strict criteria set by this prestigious Swedish automobile company in front of its partners,
05:41and in cooperation with Volvo Cars Croatia, the sale and service of all types of Volvo personal vehicles is organized.
05:48As Dr. Zvonimir Sabati, the new sales and service center in Varazdin, stressed,
05:54more and more Volvo owners are now working in the area of northwestern Croatia,
05:58so regular services will no longer have to go to Zagreb or neighboring Slovenia.
06:03At the same time, it is about a valuable entrepreneurial approach,
06:06because dozens of new workplaces have been opened in the new Volvo sales and service center.
06:14Drivers of Ferraris and similar supercars from next year should be a little better equipped with which to enter the race with this Mercedes.
06:22Namely, from next year, the new V12 engine, which has recently been installed in the CL65 AMG, should also be applied in the SL65 AMG.
06:32This means that the luxury roadster from Stuttgart will soon move monstrous 612 horses and even more impressive 1000 Nm of torque.
06:42With this engine, the acceleration to 100 km per hour for the SL will last only 4.5 seconds, while the maximum speed will be limited to 250 km per hour.
06:53It is believed that without a lock, this Mercedes could easily cross the limit of 330 km per hour.
07:00The new SL could cost around 250,000 euros.
07:07Last Saturday, the second row of Street Race 402 was held on the track of the Aircraft Technical Institute in Belgorica.
07:15Two cars in each class competed in the race, and the challenger can be anyone who has a driver's license and a registered car.
07:24Special attention was paid to safety. There were ambulances on the track, and the police carried out a mandatory alcohol test at the start.
07:32The race at 402 meters was attended by the most attractive Croatian cars, whether they were serial or re-designed.
07:38Among the main favorites of the audience were the Cadet C-Line, which burned and burned in the class up to 2 liters until the final, and the unstoppable Mitsubishi Evo VII and Lotus Elise.
07:49From the supercars, you could also see Lamborghini and many others.
07:54On the other hand, the racetrack was attended by DB Drag, a competition in the vocal music of the car, but also a street style competition that had to decide which car is the fastest.
08:05The next Street Race should be held on the Grobnička track on July 13.
08:20About 150 motorcyclists gathered on Saturday, the last day of July, in Zabok at the start of the traditional international all-time rally Zabok Zrekvenica.
08:29All motorcycles in the rally competition are 30 years old, and among the oldest is Cinda, a 1944 Prikoličar.
08:38Regardless of the age of their favorites, there was no fear of giving up.
08:44They say they know their engines in their souls, and they themselves, although they are called oldtimers, are young in heart and soul.
08:50However, on a journey of 316 kilometers, they had a short or long break with an appropriate program in Jastrebarska, Zalužnica, Otočec, Krasno Polje, Senja and Selce.
09:01Good mood, as in all oldtimer associations, was not lacking, and they announce the real spectacle for next year, for the 10th anniversary of this rally, one of the biggest gatherings of oldtimers in Croatia.
09:14Then the start will be in Zrekvenica, and the final party in Zabok.
09:19And now you will meet the new model of Opel.
09:22An adult to which Opel is trying to compete in the middle class.
09:25It was created on your well-known and favorite base of Vectra, and that is Opel Signum.
09:35The long-awaited Opel's reinterpretation of a luxury limousine was recently presented to Croatian journalists.
09:41The new Signum was presented for the first time in a concept form back in 1997.
09:47It is important that the basic lines are not changed, and the slightly unusual shape can be compared only with the avant-garde design of the Renault Velsatis, which Signum will compete with.
09:57All in all, the design is also dynamic and elegant, and the massive C-pillar, roof carrier and large door guard stand out for easier access to the interior.
10:06A small hint is included in the design of the front end, which is directly transferred from 40 mm shorter Vectra, since it is not as innovative as the guard form.
10:16The appearance of the Signum's interior does not follow the latest trends in automotive design, but it is transferred from Vectra.
10:22However, Opel's experts have repeatedly emphasized this aesthetic flaw by offering a space that is not in the middle class.
10:29Namely, the space of 985 mm is not only 13 mm longer than Vectra, but also an innovative flex-place concept of the guard seats.
10:41The Signum's guard seats can be air-pushed for 13 mm and bent at 30 degrees.
10:47The engine offer consists of four petrol engines and three diesel engines.
10:52Among the petrol engines, the most important are a 2.2-liter engine with 147 hp and straight-line injection, and a 2.0-liter turbo with 175 hp.
11:03While the diesel engine is presented by a 3.0-liter V6 with 177 hp.
11:10The offer includes a 5-speed and a new 6-speed manual and a 5-speed automatic transmission with the possibility of manual transmission.
11:18Although the Signum is not the successor of Opel's largest model, the Omega, this innovative new model presents an interesting alternative to equally interesting and unusual cars, such as the Renault Versatis.
11:30Although the prices for the Croatian market are not yet defined, it is known that the basic model of the Signum will cost around 23,000 euros.
11:39The price of the new Signum will cost around 23,000 euros.

12:03Have you ever asked yourself if you belong to the group of drivers who set the password?
12:09The smart ones know what the belt is for.
12:13Sanja Smiljanić.
12:16Are you sure you don't use the belt? Neither do you nor your passenger in the vehicle.
12:20We use it, he just ruined it for us, and I didn't forget.
12:24Otherwise, do you use it?
12:26I'm trying.
12:29You will have to tie it, so tie it right now.
12:32Are you sure the belt is there to be tied to them and to give safety to the driver?
12:37Exactly 18 years ago, the obligation to tie in cars was introduced, but only 40% of the participants in the traffic violated this legal regulation.
12:47Experts have estimated that in the event of a traffic accident, the belt-tied drivers have twice as little chance of fatal injury as untied drivers.
12:56Drivers often use the belt on fast highways than in city driving, although a small speed can be fatal for those who have not used the belt.
13:06Drivers use them more than drivers, and very few passengers in the back seats, only 5-8%.
13:14Also, the belt is used more when entering or leaving the country, as stated by the number on the border crossings, where this rate of use is about 70%, than in the country itself,
13:29which indicates the habit of our drivers in terms of respecting the legal regulations when participating in traffic in the country, that is, abroad.
13:40Last year, the police fined 120,000 participants in traffic that were not tied during the driving.
13:47Sir, we see that you are not using the safety belt. However, it is built in, and it is obligatory to use it, because it serves safety.
13:55Otherwise, you do not use it, or only at the moment.
13:58I just wanted to change the belt.
14:01At the moment, the fine for not tying the belt is only 100 kuna, and the proposal is to amend the additional law on safety in traffic, so that the fine should be an extension.
14:11Indicators indicate that women use the belt more than men, both as drivers and passengers, and this is about a third of the population of men.
14:27But from the statistics of traffic accidents, it is clear that people are of younger age.
14:34Without a belt in traffic, taxi drivers, workers and some people of health reasons can participate, as well as police officers and justice police when transporting injured people.
14:56Dear viewers, in today's test, you will see two exceptional off-road vehicles.
15:01These are Nissan Patrol, which in this new, redesigned edition has excellent off-road characteristics and a lot of comfort.
15:09After it, you will see the excellent Jeep Wrangler.
15:12It is the successor of the first off-road vehicle, Willys, and under its hood, in this production, it has a new gasoline engine.
15:19Nissan Patrol, through its six previous generations, proves to be much more than just a robust off-road vehicle.
15:26First of all, we think of its quality, durability and great space.
15:30In addition, it offers a dose of prestige and, of course, excellent practicality.
15:35A few months ago, the Patrol was slightly damaged, but now it is in perfect condition.
15:40The appearance is undoubtedly timeless, and we are sure that it will be relevant for many years to come.
15:46The power it gives, even a short test, simply causes fear of being disrespected by other participants in the industry.
15:53It is the first off-road vehicle of its kind.
15:56It is the first off-road vehicle of its kind.
16:00It is the first off-road vehicle of its kind.
16:04It is the first off-road vehicle of its kind.
16:07It is the first off-road vehicle of its kind.
16:11The new model, with changes on the exterior, also got a slightly modified interior.
16:15The appearance itself has undergone minimal changes, and is still a very classic appearance,
16:20and the only thing that has changed compared to its predecessor is the use of much more comfortable and high-quality materials and colors.
16:26The other features that ensured the status of the previous model, which still have today, are unchanged.
16:31Almost nothing has been changed under the hood.
16:34A more powerful four-cylinder turbodiesel unit is still located under the front cover,
16:39which develops power from 158 horsepower and, even more importantly, 354 Nm of torque from 3 liters with the help of a straight approach and air-cooled radiator.
16:51This is enough to accelerate a 2,200 kg heavy vehicle to 100 km per hour in 15 seconds, and to a maximum speed of 165 km per hour.
17:00The engine is definitely one of the best in its class, and it is optimal for this vehicle.
17:05Not only in driving on asphalt, but maybe even more than that.
17:09Off-road driving is one of the most important features of the Patrol.
17:13A robust frame, a large distance from the ground, acceleration on all wheels, reduction, blockade, and high-speed driving,
17:20enable the Patrol to break through the most difficult terrain.
17:24The only thing the Patrol can stop are its large dimensions, which can cause problems when driving on muddy terrain.
17:33The Patrol GR30DI offers modern technology, top-quality, comfortable interior and prestige,
17:41while its off-road capabilities can be compared to the best off-road vehicles that Poles have ever seen.
17:46The price of 40,000 euros is more than satisfactory, given what the car gets for that money.
18:17Off-road vehicles are becoming more and more popular day by day, but many do not know their history or how they were created.
18:26The first off-road vehicle was the Jeep Willys, which was originally intended for military use,
18:32but seeing its advantages, it soon became a favorite among ordinary people.
18:36We tested the Jeep Wrangler, which is a direct successor to the Willys, and which represents the off-road vehicle in the true sense of the word.
18:42Wrangler can be praised for not having a real competition, because you can compare it to a few off-road vehicles.
18:49The appearance is recognizable, and at first glance, it gives you an idea of what the original Jeep is all about.
18:55Compact dimensions, high distance from the ground, and protective plastics reveal how Wrangler is not afraid of the most remote and inaccessible terrain.
19:05The appearance is definitely timeless, and we can give it a legendary epithet.
19:10The interior is simple, but very high quality and durable.
19:14There is enough space, and the equipment will satisfy everyone who needs a car like this.
19:19In addition, the equipment is covered with a silver roof, which is very easy to remove, and Wrangler becomes a real convertible.
19:26Under the front cover is a new gasoline unit, which is a real measure for this car.
19:31The power of 149 hp and a high torque of 224 Nm is enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km per hour, which is 13 seconds at a maximum speed of 155 km per hour.
19:45The external chassis of the car does not consume much, and ensures excellent off-road capabilities.
19:53In terms of off-road capabilities, Wrangler is a real king among off-roaders.
20:00A steep chassis, a high distance from the ground, including four-wheel drive, and a reduction, ensure profitability and seemingly unpassable terrain.
20:10Jeep Wrangler can be praised for its low price, which is 22,576 euros.
20:17In the next minutes, all sports drivers and those who love such an atmosphere on the road and such cars come to their own.
20:24You will see Jure Šebalj, who this time sits behind the wheel of Mitsubishi Lancer, a car that was created on the basis of a rally car.
20:32Since I praised Subaru Impreza nicely in the last episode, today I will play with Mitsubishi Lancer, the car that has won the best race cars of world championship.
20:41We will also have on board the Aramida, the diesel-engine supercar and a car that has shown high performance on the track.
20:47And of course, we will take the Opel Enduro.
20:51After I praised Subaru Impreza in the last episode, today I'm testing the next best competitor, Mitsubishi Evo VII.
21:05Better connoisseurs know that Evo VIII has already been released, but the current model is still Evo VII.
21:12When it comes to sports success, Mitsubishi Lancer has won world championships several times in a row.
21:19Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII
21:35Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII offers a lot of racing features that other sports cars don't.
21:41Compared to Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII offers three different types of chassis.
21:46Asphalt, macadam and snow. On the other hand, Subaru doesn't have any of those.
21:50So, even though these two manufacturers have different approaches, the products are almost identical.
22:16Design
22:23Mitsubishi's design is very aggressive, compared to the previous generation.
22:28It's enough to say that Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII looks like it's all about itself.
22:34That's why this car is more recognizable on our roads.
22:37But honestly, I have to say that it's not really an honor.
22:41As far as the interior is concerned, it's nothing special.
22:44It's a bit hard plastic, but on the other hand, it has a very precise steering wheel,
22:48a direct one, a very short gear lever and a sports seat, and it really serves its purpose.
22:53Engine
23:09The engine is built in, so it doesn't look the prettiest on the outside, but it's a real drag race.
23:13It's a 2.0-litre turbo engine with 280 horsepower, which means it goes from 0-100 kmh in 5.1-5.2 seconds.
23:21The top speed is just under 250 kmh.
23:24These are fantastic performances, and a bit better than Subaru's.
23:33Next, of course, is the driving. Let's see what the real capabilities of this car are.
23:38We're somewhere under a mountain, very slippery asphalt and a lot of grip.
23:43Ideal.
24:52Driving
24:55Driving
24:57Driving
25:00Driving
25:02Driving
25:20And in the end, the impressions.
25:22After driving this car, I can only compare it to the Subaru Impreza I had last year.
25:29Why? Because it's the only car with similar performance and characteristics,
25:35because it was made for a totally different segment.
25:38So, it has 5-speed gearbox, which is a bit of a drawback compared to Subaru,
25:42because the gear ratios are a bit bigger, that's why the top speed is 250 kmh a bit higher.
25:48The suspension is a bit stiffer for our roads, and maybe a bit too stiff.
25:52This car was made for racers, for no one else, because you have to know how to use these horses.
26:11Play Lotto 7.39, and win a Yamaha Jackpot 22, worth 2 million Kuna.
26:23Car Design
26:25In the next few minutes, you'll meet one of the biggest and best car design centers.
26:31This center produced some of the cars we'll remember as the cars of our times.
26:38It's called the Pininfarina Center.
26:41Pininfarina
26:52The age of every car starts with the idea of a creative person who moves to the drawing board.
26:58When it comes to those who do that kind of work,
27:01Pininfarina certainly takes a big and important place in the history of the car industry.
27:06It's hard not to look at the models that Pininfarina has drawn,
27:09among which are the most famous Ferraris,
27:12but also large-series models such as the Peugeot 406 Coupe,
27:15which still attracts the attention of buyers today.
27:18Numerous designers first come up with a new model of the car,
27:22which then consists of numerous sketches, and they choose the best ones.
27:27At the same time, designers have one single problem,
27:30which is a certain space that they have to leave to the technical services,
27:33who will later install everything that makes the car a car into the designed model,
27:38first of all, the engine.
27:41Many sketches end up as a miniature model of a material similar to clay,
27:45which is modeled to get a more or less real picture of the car in 3D.
27:51The next step is to make a model of natural size,
27:54which is usually 90% identical to the future model.
27:58This is the usual way that Pininfarina has made hundreds of cars,
28:02which today are considered to be one of the most beautiful cars in the history of the car industry.
28:07As cars become more and more popular,
28:10Pininfarina eventually designed every possible thing,
28:13such as a mobile phone or what we call a white technique,
28:17all with its own signature.
28:19However, in the best memory, among all the concepts in progress,
28:23the famous models of Ferrari, Peugeot 406 Coupe and many others will probably remain.
28:29With the legendary beauty from 1920, we announce the legendary beauty, Vespa.
28:56We will see what it looks like in the new edition with modern technology and recognizable charm.
29:05Vespa Gran Turismo represents the latest evolution of the long-lived legendary scooter.
29:11The original scooter in its new edition offers much more than just a modernized look.
29:16The design is not recognizable, but at first glance it is clear what the scooter is about.
29:21Gran Turismo is definitely the best combination of retro and modern lines that we have seen recently.
29:26It is certainly the only one that causes individual sympathies of everyone,
29:30regardless of whether it is about Vespa lovers or those who prefer modern scooters more.
29:35What separates Vespa from similar vehicles is its metal body.
29:39Namely, unlike ordinary plastic, the rims are made of steel,
29:43and unlike previous models, Vespa Gran Turismo no longer has a gearbox,
29:47and the gearbox, which takes care of the transfer of power, is very good, at least in my opinion.
29:51The instruments are considerable and contain all the important indicators,
29:55and the position behind the steering wheel is very good, regardless of the driver's height.
29:59The seat is comfortable in all respects and ensures a high degree of comfort for the driver, but also for the co-driver.
30:05The tested Vespa is powered by a powerful unit that develops 20 horses out of 200 cubic meters,
30:10which ensures excellent performance.
30:13The acceleration is very good, and the maximum speed of 120 km per hour is not to be underestimated.
30:18The unit is four-stroke for the first time, so it meets the strictest environmental standards,
30:24and can be praised for its good fuel consumption.
30:27Vespa also excites when driving, especially in terms of maneuverability and performance,
30:31which makes it ideal for driving through city traffic jams.
30:35The frame fits the hand well, and the only problem would be the brakes,
30:39which could be a little stronger.
30:41In its strongest edition, Vespa Gran Turismo is one of the most interesting scooters on the market.
30:46With a legendary image, it now offers the most modern technology and a nice design.
30:52Vespa Gran Turismo
