Here you can test drive all the automobiles
Explanation:
I assume "hier" was mistyped. It's not quite clear, without a description, what kind of vehicles are in question.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Lancashireman: Agree, Horst. Now for the tricky question of how to punctuate. Comma after ‘Here’? Whether to hyphenate the compound verb ‘test-drive’? Also, is the term ‘automobile’ vaguely retro or just AE for ‘car’?
1 hr
  -> Thank you! The copy-editors will punctuate to their taste. Is it cars, trucks (lorries), buses, SUVs etc.?
agree  Jumo: Definitely a misspelled German word!
2 hrs
  -> Thank you!
neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: keep it up Horst, you're making good progress, just "all the automobiles" doesn't fit
4 hrs
  -> Thank you!
neutral  David Hollywood: so what do you suggest Cilian?
4 hrs
  -> Thank you!
agree  BrigitteHilgner: I would opt for "vehicles".// I don't know about police reports - but in transport research the word "vehicles" is frequently used.
7 hrs
  -> Thank you! "Vehicles" smacks a bit of police reports, maybe "motor vehicles"?
agree  Trudy Peters: I'd say here you can try out all the cars
15 hrs
  -> Thank you!
agree  Edith Kelly: calling a spade a spade ... oj weh ...
16 hrs
  -> Thank you!
agree  Armorel Young: I'd be inclined to put "here" at the end - "You can try out all the cars/vehicles here."
