Endlich -- werden sich die deutschen Ranger-Fans denken -- ist es vorbei mit der biederen Optik des Pick-ups von Ford. Beim neuen Ranger sieht man nun die Verwandtschaft zu den größeren "F"-Modellen, die in den USA die meistverkaufte Pick-up-Baureihe darstellt. Unser Testfahrer Christian Jehle hat den neuen Konkurrenten von Amarok und Co im Offroad-Park Langenaltheim auf Herz und Nieren getestet.
Den detaillierten Testbericht gibt es unter

It never stops -- Frischzellen für den Land Rover Defender
http://www.auto-news.de
Der gehört doch längst ins Museum. Oder nicht? Oder doch? Seit fast 60 Jahren wühlt sich Land Rovers Defender durch die Landschaft. Er ist der Urvater aller Land-Rover-Modelle, ohne ihn würde es Freelander, Discovery, Range Rover Sport und Range Rover gar nicht geben. In Land Rovers Modellhierarchie genießt der Defender eine absolute Sonderstellung: Obwohl der mindestens 30.900 Euro teure Freelander offiziell als das Einstiegsmodell der Marke gehandelt wird, kostet der billigste Defender gerade mal 24.000 Euro. Seine Sonderstellung gilt im Prinzip Marken übergreifend weltweit. Und jetzt gibt es einen Neuen.

Lamborghini Urus: Power-Ochse mit Allrad
Wer Sportwagen baut, braucht zukünftig auch ein SUV. Gerade auf dem wichtigen chinesischen Markt ist ein Geländemodell so gut wie unverzichtbar. Deshalb wagt sich nun auch Lamborghini auf dieses Terrain und zeigt in Peking die seriennahe Studie Urus. Ihr Name leitet sich vom Auerochsen ab, der ein enger Verwandter der Kampfstiere ist. So schlägt Lamborghini eine Brücke zu den reinrassigen Supersportwagen mit Stiernamen.

2012 Ford Ranger CRASH TEST ★★★★★
http://www.youcar.tv
The rating of the Ford Ranger has been upgraded from 2011 to 2012 (★★★★★) The car is unchanged and test results have been carried over from the previous year. The 2012 rating reflects the performance of the Ranger against Euro NCAP's latest requirements.
Adult occupant
The passenger compartment of the Ranger remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings in the tests indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and front passenger. Ford showed that a similar level of protection would be provided for occupants of different sizes and those sat in different seating positions. For the passenger, all body regions were well protected. For the driver, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other body regions was good. Maximum points were scored in the side barrier test, with good protection of all body areas. In the more severe side pole test, chest protection was adequate and that of other body regions was good. The front seats and head restraints provided marginal protection against whiplash injuries in a rear-end impact.
Child occupant
Forward movement of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward facing restraint, was not excessive. In the side impact, both dummies were properly contained in the protective shells of their restraints, minimsing the risk of dangerous head contacts. The passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward facing restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded.
Pedestrian
The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians' legs. The front edge of the bonnet was more mixed, with good areas and some areas which gave poor protection to struck pedestrians. However, in the areas likely to be struck by a child's head, the bonnet provided almost entirely good protection and was predominantly good in the areas likely to be struck by an adult's head.
