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 ...

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 ...

Nissan Qashqai 360 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 07 May 2013 13:50

Nissan has updated its Qashqai crossover for 2013. On the new ‘360’ trim level which replaces the mid-range Ntec+ trim, the headline news is a 360-degree view parking camera. It’s a familiar car now, but does its age mean the Qashqai has dropped off the pace? CAR tested the 1.6dCi version to find out. Isn’t the Qashqai getting a bit ...

Mazda CX-5 2.2D Sport (2013) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 22 April 2013 09:00

Month 4 running a Mazda CX-5: our CX-5's build quality impresses Ask my wife’s 86-year-old grandfather, who suffers from failing eyesight, about what he misses most and he says it’s driving. Growing up in Cyprus he would rattle around in tractors and Austin Sevens when he was still in short trousers. After moving his family to England in the 1960s, he owned ...

Vauxhall Mokka 1.7 CDTI (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 16 April 2013 12:30

Vauxhall’s new Mokka crossover doesn’t directly rival jacked-up superminis like the Nissan Juke or new Renault Captur, nor fully-fledged family tools like Nissan’s popular Qashqai or the likeable Skoda Yeti. The Mokka splits them on size, space and price, but does that leave it falling between two stools, or as the best of both worlds? Read on for the CAR ...

BMW 330d Touring (2013) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 08 April 2013 08:00

Month 1 running a BMW 330d Touring: time to discover if the new 330d is 'all the car you'll ever need' Having declared the latest 3-series Touring the best car in the real world after our first drive last year, we knew we needed to add one to the CAR fleet. For a £1400 premium you enjoy all the brilliance of ...

Honda CR-V 2.2 i-DTEC EX (2013) long-term test review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

the CAR road-test team, 05 April 2013 07:00

Month 1 running a Honda CR-V – the new CR-V makes it CAR fleet debut Life is full of surprises and Kia’s Sportage was one of them. I was optimistic about it before it arrived, impressed with the comfort, agility and practicality when it was here and sorry to see it go. The Sportage was always going to be a tough ...

Audi A6 Allroad 3.0 BiTDi (2012) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 04 April 2013 09:30

Month 6 running an Audi A6 Allroad - the strange Audi service schedule explained No, I'm not supplementing my income with a bit of funeral directing on the side, the matching colours were simply coinicidence. The mini-me is my girlfriend’s 2004 A4 Avant TDI, pictured here to show the positive side of Audi’s sometimes painfully slow design evolution. Can you think ...

Volvo V40 D2 SE (2013) long-term test

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 03 April 2013 09:00

Month 5 running a Volvo V40: testing the V40's practicality to the limit Having a new baby at the end of last year has had quite an impact on family life with the Volvo: going anywhere these days – even a short daytrip – involves lugging a mountain of equipment around, like we’re embarking on a major expedition up the Orinoco ...

Toyota RAV4 2.2 D-4D (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 25 March 2013 13:15

This is the fourth-generation RAV4, or to give our test car its full title, the Toyota RAV4 Invincible 2.2 D-4D. Let’s pick that mouthful of a moniker apart and find out if the new RAV4 can cut it against the Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V in the school-run soft-roader class. Invincible? That’s quite a claim for the new RAV4… Toyota ...
