Vauxhall Mokka 1.7 CDTI (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 16 April 2013 12:30

Vauxhall’s new Mokka crossover doesn’t directly rival jacked-up superminis like the Nissan Juke or new Renault Captur, nor fully-fledged family tools like Nissan’s popular Qashqai or the likeable Skoda Yeti. The Mokka splits them on size, space and price, but does that leave it falling between two stools, or as the best of both worlds? Read on for the CAR ...

Toyota RAV4 2.2 D-4D (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 25 March 2013 13:15

This is the fourth-generation RAV4, or to give our test car its full title, the Toyota RAV4 Invincible 2.2 D-4D. Let’s pick that mouthful of a moniker apart and find out if the new RAV4 can cut it against the Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V in the school-run soft-roader class. Invincible? That’s quite a claim for the new RAV4… Toyota ...

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Anonymous, 16 October 2012 11:00

Need a two tonne off-roader that’s capable of 0-62mph in around five seconds? Who doesn’t? Well, the majority of us but for those people that are that way inclined the usual choices to flirt around consists of the Range Rover Sport, Porsche Cayenne or more powerful BMW X5 models. For this kind of performance, however, you will have to spend ...

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Ebbs, 25 June 2012 11:25

In this time of austerity and spiralling running costs, what could be more apt than a 6.4-litre V8 premium off-roader? Well, Jeep’s Street and Racing Technology branch has stuck two fingers up at the penny pinchers with its latest rival to the Ranger Rover Sport and Porsche Cayenne: time to review the new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. Jeep Grand ...

Audi Q3 (2012) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 14 June 2012 10:38

I drove the latest Audi Q3 recently. And it got me thinking. I’ve heard of compassion fatigue - whereby an endless succession of charities make such relentless Tele- and radiothon-sponsored demands on the public purse that, eventually, the well indulges in a little covert self-sealing even if not strictly dry - but am now wondering whether we might be on ...

Mazda CX-5 2.2D (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 17 April 2012 09:46

This is the new Mazda CX-5, and it really is new. The Mazda CX-5 ushers in a whole raft of new technologies – under the SkyActiv banner – aimed at cutting weight, consumption and emissions. The two engines, the two gearboxes, the chassis, and the body, have all been designed and developed from scratch under the SkyActiv philosophy, and that ...

Audi Q3 2.0 TDI 138bhp FWD SE (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 27 March 2012 14:21

The Audi Q3 has only been around for a year, but the company continues to spin off variants at an alarming rate as it scatters new product into every which niche in the market. So here we have the latest Q3 model on test: a front-wheel drive, lower-powered 2.0-litre turbodiesel mustering 138bhp and with a simple stick shift (the pics ...

Subaru XV 2.0 D (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 16 January 2012 10:19

The new Subaru XV is a curious thing. Despite the styling iniquities visited on the likes of the once-wholesome Forester and Impreza of late, there is still a tremendous groundswell of goodwill towards Subaru out there. Which makes it all the more difficult to fathom why, far from trying to rekindle the interest of its core customer base by vigorously ...

Audi Q3 2.0 TDI Quattro (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 29 June 2011 09:09

This is the new Audi Q3, Ingolstadt’s rival for the BMW X1 and the forthcoming Range Rover Evoque. It’s the smallest Q-series 4x4 yet from Audi, and (at least initially) is only available with a selection of 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged and direct-injection engines. Items like an aluminium bonnet and aluminium bootlid are 50% lighter than the conventional steel items, there ...

Nissan Qashqai 1.5dCi Pure Drive (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 11 May 2011 07:00

This is the Nissan Qashqai Pure Drive. Pure Drive is a badge you won’t see on the back of GT-R, because it’s reserved for Nissan’s most environmentally friendly models (bar the Leaf EV). Changes in 2010 ushered in a sharper look for Nissan’s popular urban soft-roader, and now a series of MY11 updates includes a more powerful diesel engine, and ...
