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

3.5

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 ...

Porsche Cayenne Diesel (2011) CAR review

3.5

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 ...

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

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

2.5

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

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 ...

Cadillac Escalade Hybrid (2010) CAR review

2.5

Tim Pollard, 01 November 2010 10:15

The Cadillac Escalade really does represent all that was wrong with old GM. It might have briefly enjoyed a cult status as the preferred vehicle of choice for rap artists, overpaid footballers and other bling merchants but - believe me - the Escalade is so off the pace, it never really made it off the starting line. We tested the ...

Cadillac SRX 3.0 (2010) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 25 October 2010 13:46

The Cadillac SRX is likely to be the biggest seller in the Americans' relaunched range of cars for Europe. It's a crossover sized around the Volvo XC90, but this time round the new Caddy SRX has just two rows of seats; they've listened to criticism of the last SRX (which sported seven seats in three rows) and tried to make ...

Infiniti EX30d (2010) new CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 11 August 2010 12:33

Infiniti is finally catching up with the demands of European buyers, busily fitting diesel engines across its range. So the compact EX crossover, the smallest of its 4x4s, now comes as an EX30d. There's no Germanic badge trickery at play here: this is indeed an EX powered by a 3.0-litre diesel. How refreshing. While EX prices start at £35,975 in ...

Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi First Edition (2010) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 22 July 2010 07:00

The new 2010 Sportage is the first fully modern Kia, we reckon. The first styled wholly under chief designer Peter Schreyer (he of Audi fame), who's only now making his influence felt after four years in charge of styling the Korean cars. So take note of this new Kia Sportage. It's the most comprehensive look yet at the new face of Kia. Tiger-snout grille? ...

Nissan Murano 2.5 D (2010) new CAR review

Tim Pollard, 15 July 2010 13:44

Nissan's Murano lives in a bit of a time warp; it's only just got its first diesel engine. Yep, you read that right. This full-ish sized premium SUV has been operating in just 0.6% of the derv-crazy crossover segment with a spanking great big 3.5-litre petrol-slurper.Now the new 2.5-litre diesel has arrived, it's suddenly opened up 86% of the segment, ...
