Welcome to Frankfurt 2017 part 3.
We start with Hyundai, because Hyundai is doing very well with the third generation i30.
We already know the hatchback, we already know the station car,
but there won't be a three-door version anymore. Instead, Hyundai introduces this Fastback.
The name already tells you most of the story. It's got a sloped rear end, it's a tad longer,
it's a five-door, almost like a five-door coupé. It's supposed to compete with the Mercedes CLA or the Audi A3.
In the front, it's the same story as other i30's.
It all looks good. I've configurated the seats to my own preferences,
so now I'm curious what's it like in the back. That's because it's lower.
Lower means less headroom, so how much less?
Well... I have to fold myself a little bit, but it's got that sunroof. That takes up space.
Legroom isn't everything, but that's not the reason you buy a car like this.
You can transport people in the back, and let's be honest...
It looks great.
Next to the i30 Fastback, is another special i30 which is available to the public for the first time.
The i30 N. The first hot hatch by Hyundai.
Available with 250 or 275 horsepower from a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine,
and a agressive appearance with a, in my opinion, great baby blue color.
It all sounds pretty serious. Hyundai has thoroughly tested this on the Nürburgring,
so it's bound to have a good drive.
Big news at Toyota, a new Land Cruiser.
In other countries, this is known as the Land Cruiser Prado.
This is still the smallest version. It isn't entirely new,
it's mostly about the nose, which now has horizontal headlights and a toughened-up grille.
Also, it's got a special shape on in the hood now. You're supposed to have a special view from the inside.
In the base, it's still the outgoing model,
but they did take care of the dashboard. It's got a new screen and it's got new rear lights,
but it remains that good old iconic Toyota Land Cruiser, with a ladder chassis, which will be invincible once again.
You can probably spot it in all of the impossible territories around the world.
If a Land Cruiser is a little bit too much for you, but you do want to drive a Toyota,
why not consider this Auris Hybrid Freestyle? It's a normal Auris Hybrid with some edges which make it look terrain-worthy.
And it is terrain-worthy, as long as the terrain is level and asphalted.
Also at Toyota; this C-HR High Power concept car.
At first sight, it's just a C-HR. Nothing wrong with that.
It's an incredibly succesful car in the Netherlands, and I can see why.
We've got it as our longterm. I like driving it, I like it as a car, it's fun, it's special,
but this C-HR has got a new vision on the hybrid drivetrain. It's more than just a Prius drivetrain.
We don't know yet what it is exactly, but the name already states 'High Power',
so it's bound to go quick. It looks quite good as well.
In 2016 we first heard of Wey; W-E-Y, the premium branch of Great Wall, a big Chinese brand.
Wey cars have gone on sale in China now. Two for the time being:
The VV7 and the VV5.
But, because they're looking at the future, in which they want to sell cars in Europa as well,
Wey presents an electrical crossover in Frankfurt. This is the XEV.
You might think the Wey concept car is funny, because it's like a concept car you could've seen twenty years ago.
If you get into a VV5 however, a production car from Wey,
you can see that the Chinese are making big steps when it comes to quality experience.
It's been put together nicely, and it looks very good as well.
You can also see that those Chinese people on shows, who carry notebooks and camera's and such get heard by the industry,
because in the interior we clearly see Volkswagen-buttons and other design features.
But still. It's better to steal a good design than to create a bad design.
It really looks good in here.
The car which receives the most attention at Hyundai however, is the Kona.
Hyundai's compact crossover, the Captur rival.
You've already seen it on the site, there's even a review of the car online.
But what still goes for this car, this is the first viewing opportunity.
And a lot of people have visited the Hyundai-stand. Even today it's incredibly busy.
And that's logical, because it really is a remarkable design.
The way the rear lights and indicators are placed over here, and the lights here...
At the front, they've done it the same way.
Big plastic plates on the sides... It's a really fresh car, and I like it.
Citroën also has a great showpiece here today; the C3 Aircross.
Again, the compact crossover really is booming nowadays. It's a heightened version of the C3,
toughened-up as well and it's full of fun details again. Take that side window for example, with those blinds...
It isn't fitted as standard, but it does complete the car.
The creative use of colors also works in its advantage.
I've seen it before already, because I was at the static introduction.
So if you follow us on Instagram you've seen it before as well.
But Jan, Citroën is nice and all, but where's DS?
It's funny that you ask me, because they've got the DS 7 Crossback,
but they aren't here. Citroën is the only PSA-brand present on this show.
But DS should profile themselves on a show like this, especially as a new brand.
That's what I thought as well, but PSA says...
This also goes for Peugeot by the way, because they aren't around either,
But PSA says participating in a show isn't obvious anymore. PSA only exhibits when they have something new to show the public,
and this is one of those new things... Hanging on a wall...
Compliments to Citroën for being here today, but the same goes for a lot of other brands,
so stay tuned for part 4 of IAA 2017.
