Renault Zoe concept EV supermini (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 21 February 2011 15:51

Renault says the Zoe concept is 90% identical to the production electric car that goes on sale in early 2012. We get behind the wheel to find what it won’t be like at all to drive. What is the Renault Zoe EV? Is it a Clio replacement? No, the Clio will continue, and there’s a new Clio on the way ...

Rinspeed Squba (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 04 June 2009 15:00

Forget crossovers – the Rinspeed Squba redefines the definition of a multi-purpose vehicle. While other manufacturers bang on about the versatility of their cars, talking up the dual on- and off-road ability, or conversing at length about the carrying capacity for driver-focused vehicles, nothing is quite as flexible as the Squba – you can drive it on the road, on water ...

Dodge Circuit EV electric car (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jed Maxwell, 12 March 2009 09:15

The Dodge Circuit is the first of a new breed of alternative fuel Chrysler products to be tested by anyone outside the American firm. Admirably, electric propulsion means it’ll have zero emissions. Its claimed range is between 150 and 200 miles so it’s practical. And it should get sports car fans excited by accelerating from standstill to 60mph in less ...

Mercedes-Benz F600 (2008) fuel-cell concept CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 26 June 2008 09:00

Mercedes has been running a test fleet of fuel cell A-classes since 2002, and it’s preparing for small-scale production of a fuel cell B-class in 2010. To get an idea of what the fuel-cell B-class will be like, CAR has spent some time on the road with the curiously-named F600 HyGenius fuel cell concept, first seen at the Tokyo show ...

Renault Megane Coupe Concept (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ged Maxwell, 31 March 2008 09:07

Even Renault people admit the current Megane is something of a Marmite car: you either love it or hate it. But that could be about to change as Renault reveals a replacement this autumn.  Where does the Coupe Concept fit into that plan? It gives an idea of what the current Megane’s successor will look like when a production version is unveiled ...

Peugeot RC Z concept (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

James Foxall, 07 February 2008 14:16

Peugeot has a history of occasional sublime moments of car design punctuating regular functionality. Think 402 from 1935, the 504 Coupe unveiled in 1969 and more recently the 406 Coupe. The 308 RC Z is certainly eye catching. But when it’s launched against Volkswagen’s all-new Scirocco can it live up to its illustrious Peugeot predecessors? Is the RC Z definitely going to ...

Ford Verve concept (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

James Foxall, 15 October 2007 10:11

Ford Verve? Isn’t that the Fiesta replacement? It certainly is, although by the time it goes on sale in November 2008 it’ll probably be called Fiesta again. Whatever the name, the new car will have a radical new look that’s previewed by this concept model. Ford consulted female buyers and they wanted something that would stand out a bit more ...

Volvo XC60 concept (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

James Foxall, 09 October 2007 09:27

Volvo already has a couple of off-roaders. What does it need another one for? The Swedes claim that people who want to do off-roady things like driving down dirt tracks and towing horseboxes will go for its XC70 and XC90 models. The XC60 is being aimed at design-conscious townies who want an on-road vehicle with a tiny bit of off-road ...

Renault Clio Grand Tour concept (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

James Foxall, 08 August 2007 08:31

It’s called the Grand Tour but it looks just like a Clio Estate to me… Well spotted - that’s exactly what this is. It's simply the concept version that was built for the Geneva Motor Show 2007 as a preview to the Estate. Renault is revealing a proper roadgoing version at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September. The car we’ve ...

Honda FCX (2007) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Oliver, 01 August 2007 02:00

So this is a ‘production fuel cell car’? Can’t find it in the Honda price list… You won’t. California law requires big car makers to offer zero-emission vehicles as part of their line-up, and the hydrogen fuel-cell powered FCX is Honda’s latest. It will hand-build fewer than 100 from 2008 and ‘lease’ them to high-profile or worthy users for a ...
