Audi R8 e-tron (2013) CAR review

Damion Smy, 29 May 2013 11:00

The electric R8 has been shelved, but Audi’s let us drive it. An opportunity missed, or a smart ‘pass’ by Ingolstadt? The R8 e-tron is a rolling billboard for Audi to make us all aware of its e-tron models, of which you’ll be able to by an A3 version later this year. But while Mercedes has given us the chance ...

Renault Zoe EV (2013) CAR review

Steve Moody, 28 March 2013 12:00

This is a massive launch: the new Zoe is an electric car Renault really needs to succeed, as it’s the tip of a four billion euro arrow, fired years ago by Carlos Ghosn. Certainly, it’s a cracking looking thing, with its cute, stubby looks and stylish, airy interior that is techy without being weird. But is it four billion well ...

BMW i3 (2013) electric car test ride

3.5

Georg Kacher, 25 February 2013 09:00

BMW’s pioneering i3 electric car is one of the most exciting cars of 2013. It employs BMW’s trademark, sporty rear-wheel drive, which marks it out from the front-drive electric cars from Nissan and Renault. It’s a clean-sheet design, using exotic lightweight materials to save weight and maximise the electric range. So, an aluminium chassis housing the batteries and rear-mounted, 170bhp ...

Tesla Model S (2013) CAR review

4.5

Ben Oliver, 08 February 2013 10:00

Tesla will begin deliveries to UK Model S customers in summer 2013, with a right-hand drive version of the electric limo due to follow in late 2014. The top-level Signature trim model will start at £83,000 and will only be available with the flagship 85kWh battery that we've tested below. The entry-level model, capable of a 160 mile range from its ...

Nissan Leaf EV (2011) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 14 March 2012 10:30

Two sides to our Leaf – 14 March 2012 At once the Leaf is both soothing and stressful. Climb in, press the start button, and besides the dashboard lighting up to the accompaniment of a few bongs, you’d never know it was running. After any other car, the complete lack of vibrations is wonderful, so you glide along in relaxed comfort. You’re a little ...

Mazda Demio EV (2011) CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 06 December 2011 12:20

So this is the electric version of Mazda’s Demio (that’s the Madza 2, to you and I), the company’s first modern all-electric car. It’s a development tool, and not aimed at production yet. If you’re reading this with a fair amount of confusion and thinking ‘Hang about, I thought Mazda was doing that SkyActiv malarkey,’ you’re right. Mazda is vigorously and ...

Audi Urban Concept (2011) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 28 October 2011 07:00

The Audi Urban Concept is a frantic fusion of home-made soapbox racer, bubble car, quad bike, go-kart and electric runabout, creating something all-new to tempt environmentally-conscious urbanites. CAR was granted rare access to road test (okay, scoot around a closed-off car park) this plug-in 21st century quadricycle. And guess what? We've found out that Audi will soon okay the Urban Concept for low-volume ...

Rolls-Royce 102 EX (2011) CAR first drive review

3.5

Ben Oliver, 17 June 2011 09:26

This is the Rolls-Royce 102EX. Also known as the Phantom Experimental Electric, it swaps V12 petrol power for a massive block of batteries and electric motors to create perhaps the least-likely EV conversion ever. Does the Rolls-Royce 102EX work as a viable EV luxury limo? Read on for CAR's drive of the 102EX to find out... Rolls-Royce 102EX: the rationale ...

Nissan Leaf electric car (2011) CAR review

3.5

Mark Hamilton, 31 March 2011 12:41

CAR's Gavin Green drove a pre-production Nissan Leaf in Japan last year and came away impressed. So did European Car of the Year judges, who awarded the Nissan Leaf the COTY award for 2011. The Leaf continues to garner accolades in the media and positive reports from all who drive it. But we haven't had a chance to try the Leaf on ...

Renault Zoe concept EV supermini (2011) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 21 February 2011 15:51

Renault says the Zoe concept is 90% identical to the production electric car that goes on sale in early 2012. We get behind the wheel to find what it won’t be like at all to drive. What is the Renault Zoe EV? Is it a Clio replacement? No, the Clio will continue, and there’s a new Clio on the way ...
