Car reviews and road tests
Volvo XC60 T8 Twin Engine REVIEW
September 18, 2017Despite its official 134.5mpg NEDC economy figure, thanks to its combined power output of 407hp, the Volvo XC60 T8 Twin Engine is more of a performance SUV than a green SUV.
Suzuki Ignis Review
August 20, 2017The Suzuki Ignis, featuring a mild hybrid system, is light, efficient and fun; with four-wheel drive, it’s a really capable – and interesting – all-rounder.
Mercedes-Benz E 220 d 4MATIC AMG Line Estate Review
August 15, 2017The Mercedes-Benz E 220 d 4MATIC Estate has a diesel rather than a petrol or plug-in hybrid powertrain, so can this possibly be the recommended engine option?
Mercedes-Benz E 350 e AMG LINE Saloon Review
August 15, 2017The Mercedes-Benz E 350 e plug-in hybrid offers the promise of 134.5mpg and zero emission capability in an executive saloon with the Mercedes badge.
Toyota Prius Plug-in Review
August 9, 2017The new 283mpg, 22g/km CO2 Toyota Prius Plug-in is less of a car and more of a machine designed for ultimate efficiency.
Kia Rio Review
August 8, 2017The Kia Rio, in diesel form, used to be one of the most economical cars on sale; is diesel still the engine you should choose for the new Rio?
Volvo XC60 Review
August 7, 2017The new Volvo XC60 brings a sense of Swedish calmness to the mid-size SUV sector, but do you go for the petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid model?
MINI Cooper D Countryman Review
July 17, 2017The new MINI Countryman is larger and more refined than the last model, and the Cooper D offers decent economy, but is the sense of MINI adventure still there?
BMW 520d Review
July 7, 2017The new BMW 520d offers executive class travel with economy of 68.9mpg and emissions of just 108g/km CO2; diesels have their advantages.
Tesla Model X Review
July 4, 2017Tesla brings more disruptive technology to the car industry with the Model X 90D all-electric, all-wheel drive SUV, with a range of 303 miles, 155mph top speed and 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds – and of course zero tailpipe emissions.
