Mercedes CLS350 CDI BlueEfficiency (2011) CAR review

Mercedes CLS350 CDI BlueEfficiency (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Jethro Bovingdon, 31 May 2011 12:00

Mercedes-Benz is rightly proud of the outgoing CLS and the market for ‘four-door coupes’ that it pioneered. That car was a real shock when it was unveiled, a radical departure not just from the E class, but the entire Benz range. Some people hated it, but that was kind of the point. And those who loved it really, really loved ...

Skoda Fabia Greenline II (2011) CAR review

Skoda Fabia Greenline II (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Mark Hamilton, 25 May 2011 10:00

This is the Skoda Fabia Greenline II, the eco-warrior's edition of VW Group's budget supermini. Inside that familiar upright hatchback bodyshell sits the 1.2-litre three-cylinder TDI engine from the Polo Bluemotion, boasting headline eco statistics of 83.1mpg and 89g/km CO2. It's a compelling prospect for those seeking to avoid road tax and London congestion charging, but outside of the test ...

Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 2.0 JTDM TI (2011) CAR review

Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 2.0 JTDM TI (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 23 May 2011 12:02

Here’s the thing about the Alfa Romeo 159: it could be launched today and I’d wager you and I would be slavering over it. You’d be hard pressed to believe this is a six-year-old design, so shapely is the 159’s style. And the 159 Sportwagon estate is equally desirable – those Design Giugiaro badges on the flanks seem very deserved. ...

Nissan Qashqai 1.5dCi Pure Drive (2011) CAR review

Nissan Qashqai 1.5dCi Pure Drive (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 11 May 2011 07:00

This is the Nissan Qashqai Pure Drive. Pure Drive is a badge you won’t see on the back of GT-R, because it’s reserved for Nissan’s most environmentally friendly models (bar the Leaf EV). Changes in 2010 ushered in a sharper look for Nissan’s popular urban soft-roader, and now a series of MY11 updates includes a more powerful diesel engine, and ...

Toyota Land Cruiser LC5 (2011) CAR review

Toyota Land Cruiser LC5 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 10 May 2011 10:01

The Toyota Land Cruiser has a peerless reputation for toughness and reliability. But is it refined enough to appeal to average UK buyers who use their 4x4s almost exclusively on-road? We recently put the Toyota Land Cruiser back onto the tarmac and point it towards a town centre to find out. Read on for our test review of the Toyota Land ...

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (2011) CAR review

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 22 April 2011 06:47

The new Ford Focus aims for the middle ground between the groundbreaking, sharp-steering first-generation Focus and the duller but smarter Mk2. In theory, if it can match the fun of the first with the quality of the second, it could be on to a good thing. The new 2011-spec Ford Focus has already – by a whisker – seen off the ...

Ford C-Max 1.6 TDCI (2011) CAR review

Ford C-Max 1.6 TDCI (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 04 April 2011 11:55

This is Ford’s second-generation C-Max, one of ten models Ford will spin off its new global C-platform – there’s a bigger Grand C-Max, three Focus models, plus hybrid and electric versions as well, and by 2012 it'll underpin 2m units annually. It’s the new Grand C-Max that will take to name to North America too, and cater for the 60% ...

Range Rover Evoque prototype (2011) CAR review

Range Rover Evoque prototype (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 31 March 2011 14:00

Agile, composed, punchy: that’s the verdict after CAR’s first drive of the forthcoming baby Range Rover, the Evoque. Land Rover has finally allowed a handful of journalists into the driving seat, for a couple of laps of the company’s Oxfordshire test course, as the countdown to the Evoque’s September 2011 on-sale date intensifies. What exactly is this new Range Rover Evoque? ...

Jaguar XF 2.2 D facelift (2011) CAR review

Jaguar XF 2.2 D facelift (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 30 March 2011 09:00

After boldly reasserting itself at the top end of the luxury saloon market with the radical XJ, Jaguar is now stretching in the other direction with this, the XF 2.2 D, the first four-cylinder XF. We slid behind the wheel of a prototype covered in disguise to hide the facelifted bodywork that’ll accompany the new engine when it lands in ...

Kia Rio (2011) pre-production prototype CAR review

Kia Rio (2011) pre-production prototype CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Barry, 22 March 2011 15:32

This is the new Rio, Kia’s B-segment rival for the Ford Fiesta. It’s 20mm longer, 25mm wider and 15mm lower than its predecessor. More importantly, though, its wheelbase is also extended by 70mm to 2570mm – significantly more than the Fiesta’s 2489mm. It’ll be on sale as a five-door hatch in the third quarter of this year, the three-door following ...
