Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3 GX5 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Damion Smy, 24 May 2013 11:00

Should you even care about the new Mitsubishi Outlander? The new Outlander is based on the old model but has a revised diesel powerplant and new transmission that offers superb stats, while there’s loads more room and tech to go with it. It’s four-wheel drive and comes with a six-speed auto and seven seats. This is the top-of-the-line GX5, which ...

Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 23 May 2013 11:00

The Vauxhall Cascada is a two-door, four-seat soft-top  pitched against the Audi A5 Cabriolet. Underneath the skin there are bits of Astra hatchback and Insignia saloon, but the Cascada looks altogether classier than run-of-the-mill Vauxhalls. In a class dominated by image and brand cachet over driving dynamics, can the Cascada cut it? We drove the 2.0-litre CDTi diesel in range-topping Elite ...

BMW 3-series Gran Turismo (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Georg Kacher, 22 May 2013 12:30

This is the BMW 3-series GT, which starts from £28,835. Cast in the same (albeit smaller) mould as the unloved 5GT, the 3-seres Gran Turismo offers estate-beating versatility, but does it still drive like a proper BMW? We drove the 320d and 335i models model to find out. So, what’s the point? Is that what you’re thinking? Us too. We ...

Trip diary: how Mercedes launches a new S-class

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 20 May 2013 09:00

Hamburg is a long way to go to poke around a new car and not drive it, but when it's a new Mercedes S-class, it's worth the trek, if only to see the tech that'll be filtering down to Golfs and Fiestas over the next decade. As it turned out, I saw rather more than just that… 6.45am The black ...

BMW 5-series facelift (2013) first official pictures

Rated 4 out of 54

Damion Smy, 19 May 2013 11:00

The BMW 5-series has been facelifted, although you’d be hard pressed to tell on the outside. The most significant changes are under the tweaked skin... So what’s actually been changed? The biggest news is that there’s a new model – the BMW 518d – powered by a 143bhp/265lb ftversion of the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel. It’s offered in the saloon and Touring ...

Jaguar XF Sportbrake Diesel S (2013) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 17 May 2013 13:00

So, here it is then, the upcoming addition to the CAR longterm fleet: ‘my’ Jaguar XF Sportbrake. You can’t get a Sportbrake in the petrol flavours offered in the saloon; instead you’ll choose from a 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel in either 161bhp/295lb ft or 197bhp/295lb ft guises, or a 3.0 TD V6 with either 237bhp/368lb ft or 271bhp/442lb ft. The Sportbrake ...

Mercedes S-class (2013) first official pictures

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 15 May 2013 19:00

This is the new Mercedes-Benz S-class. It’s one of the most important new cars of 2013, and the decade: it's a complete gadget and tech fest, with everything from suspension that can 'see' the road ahead, to heated armrests, plus a four-cylinder diesel hybrid model that'll do over 64mpg and emit just 115g/km CO2. Read on for the full story on the ...

VW Amarok Power Pick-Up (2013) first pictures of super-truck concept

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 13 May 2013 11:20

This the the VW Amarok Power Pick-Up concept car. After the 496bhp Golf GTI 'Design Vision', Seat racers, Skoda Rapid Sport and Audi's stripped TTS, you'd have been forgiven for thinking we'd seen the last of 2013's tuned VWs, but instead we've got an Amarok that'll hit 62mph in just 7.9sec. What gives the VW Amarok Power Pick-Up its, erm, ...

Peugeot 308 (2014) first pictures of Peugeot's new Focus-fighter

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 13 May 2013 09:00

This is Peugeot's all-new family hatchback: the 308. Yep, that's right: Peugeot isn't rolling over to the '309' moniker, but don't be fooled: the new 308's design looks worlds apart from the off-the-pace outgoing car. Sticking with the same model names for all future cars will simplify the range for consumers, reckons Peugeot: it's a demonstration of the fightback to rebuild ...

MG 6 1.9 DTi (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 07 May 2013 14:00

The first new car of MG’s Chinese-owned era, the MG 6, now has a turbodiesel engine. The 50mpg motor, which joins the range alongside the 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol, starts from £16,995. CAR drove the MG 6 DTi in mid-spec SE form to see if China has a contender, or an also ran. Is the MG 6 endowed with a competitive new diesel engine? It’s nothing revolutionary, if you’ll ...
