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 ...

VW Touareg 3.0 Hybrid (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 02 August 2010 13:52

When the original Mk1 VW Touareg was released in 2002, CAR Magazine drove it across North Africa and even let the real Tuareg tribespeople have a go in it across the Sahara. Now our own Georg Kacher has had a go in the latest hybrid version. 4x4=bad, but hybrid 4x4=good? This is the first VW to use the same hybrid technology as the Porsche Cayenne. The big VW ...

Porsche Cayenne D Techart Tech9 CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 24 August 2009 12:30

We’ve been ever-so-slightly underwhelmed by Porsche’s first diesel car, the Cayenne V6 diesel. With 3.0-litres, 237bhp and 405lb ft, its performance just doesn’t sparkle like a Porsche ­– even a diesel Porsche – should, and it looks a little dull too. Seems that Porsche tuners Techart feel the same way, and the firm is now offering a range of upgrades through UK ...

Range Rover Sport TDV6 (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 07 August 2009 00:00

Land Rover has revised its most road-focussed SUV ever, the Range Rover Sport. There’s now new petrol and diesel engines (shared with the new Discovery 4, XF and XJ), a thoroughly revised interior, and a more modern exterior to match the look of the recently facelifted Range Rover proper. Read on to find out exactly how the new £50,695 2010 ...

Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 18 June 2009 13:00

You know a car is long awaited when it’s given an entire engine transplant before it’s even been launched. CAR first rode in the new Porsche Cayenne Hybrid back in July 2007. Two years later, it’s still not on sale and now it’s been transformed from a 3.6 V6 into the Cayenne S Hybrid toting Audi’s new 3.0-litre supercharged V6. ...

Infiniti FX50 CAR (2008) review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 05 May 2008 14:21

The Infiniti FX50 will be the upmarket Japanese brand’s most expensive car when the company launches into Europe in autumn 2008. At an estimated £50k and with big 4x4s about as popular as a Cadbury's teapot right now, it’s a brave move. Don't forget, Infiniti isn’t aimed at the conservative luxury market like Lexus. Instead Nissan’s luxury brand is targeting ...

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 ...

Porsche Cayenne GTS (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Steve Bennett, 12 November 2007 03:32

Cayenne GTS? What’s that then? It’s a more sports-biased version of Porsche’s SUV supercar that seems to wind up just about everyone with an opinion, yet sells jolly nicely. Porsche also justifies the Cayenne’s existence by reminding us that it funds the cars that we all get in a froth about like the GT3, GT3 RS, and GT2. Indeed during ...

VW Touareg V10 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Steve Prentice, 03 July 2007 12:40

The new VW Touareg? What's different? Yes, true, the new-look front end is more of a tweak than a full redesign, but VW has changed 2300 individual parts in the new Touareg, including brakes, suspension, anti-rollover safety, and a front and side sensor system which tells you how much room you've got (or haven't) in tricky off-road situations. Or congested ...

Audi Q7 4.2 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Danny Cobbs, 10 May 2007 09:49

Is this 4.2-litre diesel Q7 just playing another part in the Audi master plan for world dominance? When you’ve spent a gazillion euros developing the world’s most powerful V8 diesel engine it would seem economic suicide not to use it in as many models as possible. This, and the fact sales of the Q7 have far exceeded Audi’s wildest forecasts, ...
