Vauxhall Meriva 1.4T SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 13 April 2010 14:32

The last Vauxhall Meriva was a charmless, if effective, little box. The new one looks great, but is there more substance to it than those rear suicide doors? Is this the first mini MPV that you’re not embarrassed to be seen in? Could well be. We thought that Kia’s Venga (or at least the show car that previewed it) was ...

Ford S-Max 2.0 SCTi EcoBoost (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 08 March 2010 09:11

Ford’s S-Max MPV still seems a spring chicken, but it has in fact been on sale since 2006. Hence the 2010 facelifted S-Max you see here, ushering in a range of cosmetic tweaks (minor) and engineering upgrades (rather more significant). We’ve tested the all-new model, premiering Ford’s new global EcoBoost engines. Announced at the 2009 Detroit auto show, EcoBoost has ...

Nissan Cube 1.6 Kaizen (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jed Maxwell, 19 February 2010 10:00

It’s taken three generations, but Nissan’s funky Cube has finally made it Europe through official channels. But is it a case of style over substance? Hmm, this latest Nissan Cube looks slightly less, well, square. Yes, some of the earlier car’s styling edge has gone, in both senses, but it’s still a striking looking car and stands out a mile ...

Renault Kangoo Be Bop ZE (2009) electric car review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Oliver, 10 July 2009 16:51

Under the skin of the Renault Kangoo Be Bop ZE electric car, four rather more significant cars are lurking. Starting from 2011, Renault plans to introduce a range of at least four electric vehicles, all of which will share the drivetrain powering this concept car, which we tested on public roads near Paris. There will be a Kangoo van and ...

Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Stephen Worthy, 02 July 2009 10:58

Think ‘Renault Scenic’ today and what does it conjure up? Mum stuck in traffic on the school run. Jammy-fingered kids staring wistfully out of the window. Dad pootling down to the seaside with the whole clan seething inside it. There are so many cars like the Scenic on the road today, it’s easy to forget how radical it was when ...

Toyota Verso TR 2.0 D-4D (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 08 June 2009 09:40

Toyota’s medium people-carrier is in its third incarnation now, complete with seven seats as standard for every model, this time. Trouble is, it’s a crowded market, with everyone in on the act since Renault’s Megane Scenic kick-started things in 1996. Can Toyota’s latest effort be enough to make it stand out? Okay, it’s a Toyota, so I’m not expecting an ...

Volvo XC60 D5 long-term test CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

the CAR road test team, 05 May 2009 15:00

Long-term update – 5 May 2009   After I came back from university, fully educated but with little more than beans in my wallet, I spent several months sleeping in the garret at the top of my parents’ house. It was so small, there wasn’t enough room to swing a hamster around it. It had a bed (single), hi-fi (compact) and ...

Renault Grand Scenic 1.4 TCe (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 20 April 2009 10:30

Ho hum… Another day, another compact family MPV. Only this time we really should sit up and pay attention at the back. After all, Renault started the whole boiling with the first Scenic back in … oh, 1873, and three generations on - and having finally found sufficient brand confidence to drop the Megane moniker - you’d expect Renault to have ...

Peugeot 3008 1.6 THP (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Stephen Worthy, 17 April 2009 12:29

This is Peugeot's new 3008, the French company's first 'crossover' vehicle, and while it will never be classed as a good-looker, as we're about to discover it’s got much to commend it. Even if Peugeot isn't entirely sure exactly what it is. So what is the Peugeot 3008? MPV? SUV? Hatchback? All of those and more, says Peugeot. The company describes it as a ...

Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jed Maxwell, 28 January 2009 14:30

Sensible, practical, useful – MPVs are all of those things. What they’re not, is fun. Until now. The Citroen C3 Picasso does all the normal useful stuff you expect of a people mover, but does it in a much more entertaining way. Is the Citroen C3 Picasso the coolest MPV ever? I do have a bit of a soft spot for ...
