The Audi duo, 'wlich is effectiVely ready for series production, made good use of its hybrid power concept: acroes country the Audi Avant employed its 1.-Iftre, four-cylinder gaon engine and, on urban roads, the driver used the selector switch te change over te lectric power. The Audi duo covered the complets. distance in three and a ha]f days, whereas an electric car only has *a range of about 150 km before it has te be connected to the mains for several hours; for recharging. The batteries in the Audi duo can be charged up while driving as well as when stationary, and also take advantage of the energy generated by braking. <The Aud duo cixbed the 1,800-metre Arlberg pass under electric power. In the tewn centres of1 Innsbruck, Avignon and Seville, which are closed te normal trafflc, its silent progr7ess caused considerable interest, and the, Austrian Minister of Transport, Viktor Klima, insisted on driving the Andi duo through Innsbruck with the electric motor. Good ride for the -môney MMOMPAGE 20 ing and a fiýve-point harness. The vinyl, covering was oT particular interest, as I known my kids are always dropping someting on the seats., Myyoungest child, at 23 Ibs., fit well but, didn't like the fact that he couldn't see- out the window well enou gh. My daughter, at about 35 Ibs-', liked the seats as they seemed to offer her ziuch more freedom of move- ment. I do caution parents with overactive children ' like my daughter, as the release button is easily accessible to little hands. Base engine for the Voyager and SE niodels is the 2.5 litre four cylindler. An optional 3 litre V6 is optional on'these modela. also. On the SE,, LE, and LÎX modela a 3.3 litre V6 can be orjlared if -the eêxtra'power is needed. My test LX version had the optional 3.3 litre V6.1By virtue of its size, I expected the Vo ager to bequitesaluggish, but in fact it zipUalut traffic quite well. On'the 'highway, it acclerated up tosredquintwell and had n premr cruising at 120 km. If traction is your tig h wheé drive option. This 811- wheel-drive system is basically limited to road use and not off- roadmng. Givinig the Voyager its good ride is a fairly, basic suspension layout. Up frnt is a strut type' suspension, while ini the rear is a beam aIe, 9aIl with coil springs. A buiyer can add a trailer towing package allowing for extra tow- ing capacity. ta h Iknow personally ta h DURAM' Voyager will be on my list when it cornes time to trade the family wagon. It seems to me to offer the best dollar value ini a mini- van on the market today.
