Iveco Massif Campagnola (2008) CAR review and video

Rated 2 out of 52

Richard Aucock, 26 September 2008 09:00

The new Massif is (truck maker) Iveco's passenger 4x4 and the company is aiming for 20 percent of the 4000-strong utility 4x4 sector that Land Rover dominates. It’s interesting because the Massif used to be a Santana which, long ago, was a Spanish-built Series III Land Rover, using a production line shipped over by Solihull. Think of the Iveco Massif as the Defender’s long-lost cousin. ...

Ssangyong Kyron 2.0 S 2WD (2008) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Richard Aucock, 20 June 2008 09:03

Completing our test of the relaunched SsangYong range is this: the Kyron 4x4. Straddling compact and working SUV status, the Kyron was previously saddled with naïve pricing that punched way above its weight. Now, a 2WD version values it at a more reasonable £14,995, with a 4WD alternative for £2k more. It makes much more sense as a result – ...

Ssangyong Rexton 270 S (2008) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Richard Aucock, 12 June 2008 09:29

With the relaunch of SsangYong in the UK, we're testing all their latest products. Dealers say they sell the Rexton large SUV to buyers with an inkling for an X5, but not the cash. It’s SsangYong’s oldest but best-looking machine, with cohesion to its lines that approaches smart class. It’s OK inside as well – influences are clearly Japanese hi-fi, ...

BMW X6 XDrive 35d (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Richard Aucock, 05 April 2008 00:00

We’ve heard of niches, but come on – an SUV coupe? Sounds a bit roast beef with ice cream to us. But from June 2008, that’s what BMW has in store. The X6 is the latest addition to the maker’s SUV portfolio of X3 and X5, which is already the best-selling premium line-up in Europe. The X5 3.0d is, surprisingly ...

Toyota Land Cruiser V8 TD (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Richard Aucock, 17 January 2008 17:26

Toyota's Land Cruiser. Since 1954 and with five million made, it’s gone on to be the world’s best-selling SUV. The Range Rover’s an upstart compared to this, and Toyota’s world domination started with exports of the Land Cruiser. As such, the company treats it reverentially. That’s why it allowed a team of 1500 engineers the luxury of five years to ...

Seat Altea Freetrack 4 2.0 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Richard Aucock, 28 June 2007 11:59

Oh lord, not another modern-day Matra Rancho. Ah – immediately, you’ve spotted Seat’s biggest problem with the Altea Freetrack. This is a crossover – part MPV, part 4x4. And, with its ‘family car sporting stick-on muscles’ looks, set for a bit-part in our lives? Don’t dismiss it so fast, though. The SUV element stretches further than just black plastic body ...

BMW X5 3.0d (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Richard Aucock, 13 November 2006 10:11

Just what the world needs, another huge off-roader. That’s it, jump on the SUV-hate bandwagon. But before you do you might want to know that X5 II is safer, more efficient and even better to drive. Why? Because BMW has finally called time on its strut suspension, replaced it with a set of double wishbones which provide better-camber-control and reduce ...
