Die SUV-Story 2018

n-tv | PS - Die Reportage | 1  ×  42 min | 01.12.2018

There seems to be no end to the SUV boom. On the contrary, more than a hundred different models are now thronging the German market in countless different classes. Today, one in three new privately owned cars belongs to this segment.

​The SUV Story 2018 follows first-hand the development of the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid, accompanies the new Jeep Wrangler – “the mother of all off-road vehicles” – on its maiden trip in the Alps and explains the innovative hydrogen-powered SUV by Hyundai, the Nexo. In addition, n-tv tells the incredible story of the Skoda Trekka, which caused quite a commotion in New Zealand and on the island of Samoa way back in the 1960s – long before today’s SUV offensive by the Czech carmakers. Off into the terrain! – At the Toyota Land Cruiser driving school, viewers are playfully taught how to jockey their two-tonne off-road vehicles safely through water, mud, rocks and boulders. The report also presents the fastest, the most luxurious and what is probably the most unusual SUV. Furthermore, the on- and off-road film trip takes us to Sweden, England and France – including a world record, the “Car of the Year” and “Electro-Darling”. 

4x4 = the unadulterated pleasure of driving!
