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, ...

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 ...

Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 12 January 2011 16:36

This is the Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro, the first full-production hybrid road car from Audi and our first taste of the modular turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine/electric motor mated to a lithium-ion battery pack. We'd better get used to this: the same tech will appear in the A6 and A8 Hybrids. CAR has just tested the new Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro, so ...

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 ...

VW Touareg 3.0 TDI (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Greg Fountain, 06 September 2010 10:30

Early adopters of the 2010 VW Touareg will see their cars being delivered from October onwards. And for some reason they will not be hated quite so fiercely as those who’ve ordered a Porsche Cayenne, even though the cars are broadly the same underneath and are, in the view of those with beards, equally reprehensible.Leaving the matter of planet salvation ...

Audi Q5 2.0 TFSI quattro SE S tronic (2008) review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 27 November 2008 10:34

Well, you do have to admire the attitude… Whilst my colleagues in the media remain determined to talk us all into ‘the forthcoming recession’ just because a pox of relentlessly greedy estate agents have had to give their Minis back and get proper jobs, Audi is having none of it.At the recent 2008 Paris motor show, Audi obersturm gruppenfuhrer Rupert ...

Land Rover Freelander TD4_e Stop/Start (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Guy Bird, 26 November 2008 09:07

Land Rover is going green…honest. The first of its CO2-reducing technologies – the Freelander TD4_e featuring stop/start technology – launches in April 2009 and promises to be the most fuel-efficient Land Rover ever offering 42.2mpg and 179g/km of CO2. The authentic 4x4 brand also claims the Freelander TD4_e is the world’s first SUV to sport an intelligent stop/start system. A ...

Infiniti EX37 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Adam Towler, 27 October 2008 10:30

It’s taken four years of planning to realise this Infiniti EX37 launch. Nissan’s Infiniti 'premium brand' is about to make a bridgehead into Europe, and it’s this EX37 SUV-lite experience that it expects to take the majority of sales. Hang on a moment; 'surely there’s some mistake,' you say. Surely, considering the current economic and social climate, a 316bhp, petrol-powered, faux SUV ...

Volvo XC90 D5 R- Design Geartronic (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Peter Burgess, 18 August 2008 17:27

My word, how excited we all were back in 2002 when Volvo launched its first SUV, the XC90. The initial production sold out almost on the spot, or so the message was from Volvo. Certainly there were premiums paid over and above the list price by buyers desperate to get into a Volvo XC90. Why? Simply it was a seven-seat ...

Audi Q5 2.0 TDI (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 10 July 2008 18:23

The Audi Q5 is here – and we've driven it. Finally Ingolstadt has a medium-sized SUV with which to battle the likes of the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLK. But in the war of the small, premium Germans 4x4s, the X3 is ageing fast and the GLK won’t be in the UK until 2010 at the earliest. That leaves the ...
