AC Schnitzer ACS5 2.0d (2011) CAR review

4.5

Ben Barry, 19 October 2011 09:00

The 520d makes up the majority of BMW 5-series sales here in the UK – its blend of performance, frugality, space and low C02 emissions means it’s hard to beat, particularly for company car drivers. But here’s a thing: the AC Schnitzer ACS5 2.0d Sport. It’s sold in the UK through Rossiters in Kings Lynn, and promises similar pace to ...

Mercedes C250 CDI Coupe (2011) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 06 October 2011 14:05

The CLK is dead, the E-class Coupe has been pushed upmarket, and the CLC is a horrible old little hatchback. Which, until now, has left Mercedes without a rival for BMW’s 3-series Coupe and Audi’s A5 Coupe. Step forward the Mercedes C-class Coupe – which is all C-class unlike the E-class Coupe which uses parts from both the C- and ...

Mercedes C220 CDI facelift (2011) CAR review

3.5

Stephen Worthy, 03 August 2011 10:00

Amid all the repositioning of the Mercedes roster – the C-class Coupe is essentially the new CLK, but there's a E-class Coupe that uses C-class parts too – the C-class saloon remains a no-nonsense, reliable choice in the compact exec segment. But worried about looking too much like a taxi? Want to spice things up with a bit of bodykit (and ...

Range Rover Evoque Coupe 2.2D (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 14 July 2011 09:37

Before we get started, can we just clear one thing up: what sort of car is the Evoque meant to be? Hot hatch, coupe, SUV? Well, it’s a bit of all three really. The five-door model will tend to appeal to buyers looking at other small SUVs, like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. But Land Rover sees the three-door, ...

Jaguar XF 2.2 D facelift (2011) CAR review

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 ...

Land Rover Freelander eD4 148bhp 2wd (2011) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 09 February 2011 09:28

It’s a crazy world when Land Rover starts selling front-wheel drive cars and, at the other extreme, Ferrari launches a four-wheel drive estate. But these are challenging times for the motor industry. In the past decade Land Rover has been embroiled in more sustained political lobbying than today’s public enemy number one, the banking sector. So it should come as ...

BMW X3 xDrive20d SE (2011) CAR review

2.5

Tim Pollard, 06 January 2011 12:02

BMW’s X3 has long been the runt of the Munich litter. The last X3 was seemingly made of less sturdy stuff than other BM models and didn’t drive as sharply either. But it hopes to reverse all that with the new F25-codename X3. It still looks like a shrunken X5, but you’re less likely to confuse the two now thanks ...

Mercedes E250 CDI Cabriolet (2010) CAR review

2.5

Ben Barry, 22 March 2010 12:13

All is not what it seems in Mercville these days. Take the new E-class Coupé and Cabriolet twins. They wear the proud E-class badge, yet strip away the verisimilitude and you'll spot the guts and garters from the C-class and E-class parts cupboards. But those looks are 100% new E, and we'd have to admit the new E-class convertible is ...

Mercedes E220 CDI SE estate (2009) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 15 October 2009 10:47

We’ve been getting to know the new E-class saloon for a few months and now Mercedes has launched the fifth-generation estate to match. Guess what? It’s springing no surprises. The engine range reflects everything the saloon offers, while the class-leading loadspace was designed with ease of use in mind and is supported by self-levelling air suspension and an electric tailgate ...

Volvo S80 D5 (2009) new CAR review

Ben Barry, 14 August 2009 09:00

Chances are the Volvo S80 won’t be on your exec saloon wishlist, but, with a light re-style, sharper chassis and punchier engine, the Swedes have transformed it into a proper contender. Okay, but it's a Volvo S80 so I’m waiting for the but… No but, the S80 is the sleeper of the segment, a comfortable companion with – in the D5 SE Lux Premium ...
