Infiniti FX30d (2010) CAR review

Jethro Bovingdon, 08 September 2010 12:20

When it comes to SUVs, you can’t get much more leftfield than the Infiniti FX. Just look at it. You’ll either love or loathe the wacky looks, and the engine line-up has been equally divisive. Until now entry level was a smooth, gutsy 3.7 litre V6, the next rung up a 385bhp, 369lb ft 5.0-litre V8, both powered by the ...

Porsche Cayenne D Techart Tech9 CAR review

2.5

Ben Barry, 24 August 2009 12:30

We’ve been ever-so-slightly underwhelmed by Porsche’s first diesel car, the Cayenne V6 diesel. With 3.0-litres, 237bhp and 405lb ft, its performance just doesn’t sparkle like a Porsche – even a diesel Porsche – should, and it looks a little dull too. Seems that Porsche tuners Techart feel the same way, and the firm is now offering a range of upgrades through UK ...

Range Rover Sport TDV6 (2010) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 07 August 2009 00:00

Land Rover has revised its most road-focussed SUV ever, the Range Rover Sport. There’s now new petrol and diesel engines (shared with the new Discovery 4, XF and XJ), a thoroughly revised interior, and a more modern exterior to match the look of the recently facelifted Range Rover proper. Read on to find out exactly how the new £50,695 2010 ...

BMW 730d SE (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 18 December 2008 15:01

Barely 25 years ago, Mercedes and Jaguar had this market – then the sub-Rolls market – sewn up. BMW was knocking on the door but only got its foot in with the second-gen 7-series of 1986. Audi came along with the A8 a few years later and today there are still only those four key players, with some upstart rivals ...

Mercedes S320 CDI LWB (2008) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 02 June 2008 12:30

The best car Mercedes makes? Surely it’s got to be the S320 CDI. The S-class absolutely dominates its market segment and, according to Merc, nearly 25 percent of all limos sold in the UK are the diesel S320 CDI. That’s absolute hegemony in the car market, and it’s not like there isn’t any opposition from BMW, Audi and Jaguar. But ...

BMW 730Ld SE (2008) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 13 March 2008 12:59

Big sports saloon or limo? Actually, the long-wheelbase BMW 7-series aims towards the genuine limo class. And it's huge. Huge enough to make you wonder if a 3.0-litre turbodiesel could ever be enough to shift you in VIP-style haste. So is the BMW 7-series a great limo to spend time in? From the driving seat you'll soon forget the 'L' ...

Toyota Land Cruiser V8 TD (2008) CAR review

2.5

Richard Aucock, 17 January 2008 17:26

Toyota's Land Cruiser. Since 1954 and with five million made, it’s gone on to be the world’s best-selling SUV. The Range Rover’s an upstart compared to this, and Toyota’s world domination started with exports of the Land Cruiser. As such, the company treats it reverentially. That’s why it allowed a team of 1500 engineers the luxury of five years to ...

BMW 635d (2007) CAR review

3.5

Richard Aucock, 30 October 2007 09:00

A 635d? Hmm, potentially an interesting combo… Indeed. Mating the excellent twin-turbo 3.0-litre diesel to BMW’s mildly-facelifted 6-Series Coupe and Cabriolet, creating (they say) the world’s first diesel GT 2+2, is something we’ve been anticipating with intrigue. The 282bhp unit has the same power as an ‘80s M 635 CSi, yet the 427lb ft of torque is over 10 percent ...

VW Touareg V10 TDi (2007) CAR review

Steve Prentice, 03 July 2007 12:40

The new VW Touareg? What's different? Yes, true, the new-look front end is more of a tweak than a full redesign, but VW has changed 2300 individual parts in the new Touareg, including brakes, suspension, anti-rollover safety, and a front and side sensor system which tells you how much room you've got (or haven't) in tricky off-road situations. Or congested ...

Audi Q7 4.2 TDi (2007) CAR review

Danny Cobbs, 10 May 2007 09:49

Is this 4.2-litre diesel Q7 just playing another part in the Audi master plan for world dominance? When you’ve spent a gazillion euros developing the world’s most powerful V8 diesel engine it would seem economic suicide not to use it in as many models as possible. This, and the fact sales of the Q7 have far exceeded Audi’s wildest forecasts, ...
