Mercedes ML250 CDI BlueTec Sport (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 03 May 2012 05:28

Mercedes updated its M-class SUV in 2011, offering a fresh take on its Alabama-built 4x4 with new platform, styling and notably-downsized powertrains. Have they leapt to the head of the premium SUV class with the latest edition? Anthony ffrench-Constant evaluates the four-cylinder diesel ML250 Bluetec Sport to find out... Mercedes ML250 first impressions: Computer says no Speed Limit Assist? No thank ...

Kia Sportage 1.7 CRDi 2WD (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Keith Jones, 25 October 2011 17:09

Judging by the frequency you see Kia’s third-generation Sportage on the roads, British buyers are captivated by its combination of Dolce & Gabbana looks at Matalan prices. But in the fiercely contested crossover market is the 1.7 CRDi front-wheel drive Sportage more style than substance in the world of faux by fours? Is the 2011 Kia Sportage as good as it ...

Porsche Cayenne Diesel (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 16 August 2011 09:00

The Cayenne is the Porsche we all loved to hate. But is the Cayenne SUV now firmly accepted in the Porsche firmamentr? After all, most now understand the well worn argument that it funds the sports cars we all love. Porsche has built twice as many 4x4s as any other single model line so far this year, for crying out loud. So ...

Range Rover Evoque Coupe 2.2D (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 14 July 2011 09:37

Before we get started, can we just clear one thing up: what sort of car is the Evoque meant to be? Hot hatch, coupe, SUV? Well, it’s a bit of all three really. The five-door model will tend to appeal to buyers looking at other small SUVs, like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. But Land Rover sees the three-door, ...

Range Rover Evoque prototype (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 31 March 2011 14:00

Agile, composed, punchy: that’s the verdict after CAR’s first drive of the forthcoming baby Range Rover, the Evoque. Land Rover has finally allowed a handful of journalists into the driving seat, for a couple of laps of the company’s Oxfordshire test course, as the countdown to the Evoque’s September 2011 on-sale date intensifies. What exactly is this new Range Rover Evoque? ...

Mercedes G350 Bluetec LWB (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 25 February 2011 09:00

This big beast is the Mercedes G-wagen, and after a decade-long absence from the UK it’s back sale on in Blighty – and in right-hand drive form. You can’t just walk into any Mercedes-Benz dealer and buy one though; orders have to be placed with the Specialist Product Division at Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands, the same team that brought us ...

Land Rover Freelander eD4 148bhp 2wd (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 09 February 2011 09:28

It’s a crazy world when Land Rover starts selling front-wheel drive cars and, at the other extreme, Ferrari launches a four-wheel drive estate. But these are challenging times for the motor industry. In the past decade Land Rover has been embroiled in more sustained political lobbying than today’s public enemy number one, the banking sector. So it should come as ...

BMW X3 xDrive20d SE (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 06 January 2011 12:02

BMW’s X3 has long been the runt of the Munich litter. The last X3 was seemingly made of less sturdy stuff than other BM models and didn’t drive as sharply either. But it hopes to reverse all that with the new F25-codename X3. It still looks like a shrunken X5, but you’re less likely to confuse the two now thanks ...

Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCI 163 Powershift (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 26 November 2010 11:47

Ford has a knack of being late to the party. The Kuga itself was only launched in 2008, but until now it's been bereft of one of the most popular drivetrains available on SUVS: a diesel auto. These have finally landed in recent weeks, mating the proven 2.0-litre TDCI turbodiesel with Ford's Powershift twin-clutch six-speed auto. You can pick your ...

Infiniti FX30d (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Jethro Bovingdon, 08 September 2010 12:20

When it comes to SUVs, you can’t get much more leftfield than the Infiniti FX. Just look at it. You’ll either love or loathe the wacky looks, and the engine line-up has been equally divisive. Until now entry level was a smooth, gutsy 3.7 litre V6, the next rung up a 385bhp, 369lb ft 5.0-litre V8, both powered by the ...
