BMW 640d M Sport Gran Coupe (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 25 May 2012 07:00

This is the new 2012 BMW 6-series Gran Coupe – and it’s been a long time coming. Such is the pace of the modern automotive industry that as soon as one (usually premium German) manufacturer finds a new niche, its rivals rush in too. But Mercedes genuinely stole a march on the competition when it launched its CLS ‘four-door coupe’ ...

BMW M550d xDrive (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 01 March 2012 11:30

This is the BMW M550d xDrive. It's the first of a new line of BMW M Performance Automobiles, set to sit above the bodykit and suspension-focused M Sport models, but below the full M-cars. But rather than sporting some sort of detuned M5 engine, this M550d xDrive has a diesel engine (albeit a triple turbo one), four-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. ...

Jaguar XJ 3.0D (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 15 November 2011 10:00

Goodbye to our Jaguar XJ 3.0D – 15 November 2011 The brave new XJ has stolen the hearts and wallets of Britain’s luxury car buyers, becoming the UK’s number one luxury saloon. But after six months on the CAR long-term fleet last year, did it steal ours? We actually ran two XJs – a long wheelbase 503bhp Supersport first, followed by a ...

Porsche Panamera Diesel (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 22 July 2011 09:40

Just a few months after launching the Panamera petrol hybrid, Porsche is serving up an alternative maximum efficiency GT: the Panamera Diesel. It can, says Porsche, cover 745 miles on its 80-litre tank. If you’ve got a capacious bladder, an optional 100-litre tank is set to be an option too. The Panamera Diesel goes on sale from August 2011, and, ...

Range Rover 4.4 TDV8 (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 16 August 2010 09:00

Here it is, the new 2011 model year TDV8 Range Rover, yours from £67,495 for the entry-level Vogue, the top-spec Autobiography coming in at £81,395 – a rise of £855 and £3515 respectively. Headline changes are the introduction of an all-new 4.4-litre turbodiesel V8 and a new eight-speed automatic ZF gearbox. Hold on, haven’t we just had an all-new Range ...

Mercedes S350 CDI BlueEfficiency LWB (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anonymous, 30 April 2010 10:39

Visually, there's little to pinpoint the 2009 facelift of the S-class; a more arrow-shaped radiator grille here, a fresh bumper and exhausts there. But myriad changes were ushered in under the skin, with many of Merc's technical innovations from its new models such as the E-class cascading upwards. It's normally the reverse in Stuttgart. This S350 CDI variant is new, ...

Audi A8 4.2 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 18 February 2010 09:00

I didn’t realise Audi was doing a long-wheelbase A4. Is there no niche left unexplored? A4? This is the new 2010 Audi A8, Ingolstadt’s technological flagship, a limo built around a supercar-style aluminium spaceframe and boasting the sort of toys that would make Inspector Gadget envious (and owners thankful that Lucas doesn’t do Audi’s electrics). But it’s an easy mistake ...

BMW 740d (2009): new CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 17 July 2009 14:09

We’ve just returned from a day of hurling BMW’s new twin-turbo 740d around the Scottish Highlands, and also found the time for a test of the revised 730d as well as chatting to some of the company’s high-up engineers. An early start and a late finish, but everything in between was very good. Tell me about this new BMW 740d ...

VW Touareg R50 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 08 August 2008 00:00

A bit of a conundrum, this. How can a 2.6-tonne 4x4 put the Sport back into SUV? Volkswagen reckons the R50 Touareg is the answer – a tweaked-up version of its luxury 4x4. Except here, the emphasis is firmly on sporting luxury rather than pampering outright. It's telling they've picked the diesel version for the range-topper. The R50 is based ...

Mercedes GL420 CDI (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Nathan Millward, 26 September 2006 10:21

Another over-inflated luxury 4x4? Fair point. There is a whiff of Groundhog Day about the GL-Class but with seven seats, a host of new engines and comfort to match a luxury saloon, it could be worth sticking around for. In a nutshell, the GL-Class aims to be the biggest, most spacious and most luxurious SUV on the market, eating Audi ...
