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 ...

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 Juke 1.6 DiG-T (2010) CAR review

2.5

Tim Pollard, 08 July 2010 00:54

Fret not! You might have spied the £20k price tag on this Nissan Juke first drive review, but rest assured: we've climbed into the top dog, turbocharged and 4x4 Juke aimed at Mini Cooper S territory. We've driven cheaper models in the range too (the Nissan Juke starts at a much more palatable £12,795), but the tech on the 1.6 ...

Skoda Yeti 1.8 TSI SE (2009) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 26 October 2009 11:48

Skoda does a good line in half sizes. The Octavia is a bit bigger than Focus types, but not as chunky as a Mondeo. And so the new Skoda Yeti is larger than its Fiat Panda looky-likey, but not quite as big as the Nissan Qashqai-set soft-roaders it’s aimed at. It’s a handy point of distinction and the Yeti looks ...

Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid (2010) CAR review

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. ...

VW Touareg R50 (2008) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 08 August 2008 00:00

A bit of a conundrum, this. How can a 2.6-tonne 4x4 put the Sport back into SUV? Volkswagen reckons the R50 Touareg is the answer – a tweaked-up version of its luxury 4x4. Except here, the emphasis is firmly on sporting luxury rather than pampering outright. It's telling they've picked the diesel version for the range-topper. The R50 is based ...

Peugeot 4007 (2007) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 21 September 2007 09:01

Another 4x4? Just what the world needs... Are the Europeans displaying poor timing by jumping on the 4x4 bandwagon just as the environmental question is ratcheting up to new heights? Perhaps, but there’s no denying the popularity of the segment and Ford, Vauxhall and the French can’t afford to ignore this potentially lucrative market. Hence the glut of 4x4s making ...
