Mazda Demio EV (2011) CAR review

Mazda Demio EV (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

Nissan Leaf electric car (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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

Renault Zoe concept EV supermini (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

Smart Fortwo Electric Drive (2012) CAR review

Smart Fortwo Electric Drive (2012) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 24 September 2010 13:03

As mentioned at the close of my recent Sark-astic experience (see CAR Magazine, August 2010), there’s nothing quite like a drastic downturn in fortune to promote radical re-evaluation. In the context of my Smart Fortwo Electric Drive on Guernsey, then, I found myself rather less preoccupied with the island’s performance parity inducing blanket 35mph speed limit than the fact that ...

VW Golf Blue-e-motion (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 19 August 2010 09:36

A VW Golf Blue-e-motion? Fuelled by kangaroo poo, is it? No, ya great galah, it’s powered by electricity. The Golf Blue-e-motion is a prototype for the Nissan Leaf rival you’ll be able to buy from Volkswagen dealers in 2013. CAR drove the electric Golf in the world's biggest e-rally for a feature in the new Green CAR, a free 32-page supplement ...

Nissan Leaf (2010) electric prototype CAR review

Nissan Leaf (2010) electric prototype CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Gavin Green, 11 June 2010 00:01

It’s finally here. The world’s first practical affordable electric production car that doesn’t look like it’s designed by a kid with a crayon and driven by Noddy. The Nissan Leaf may not be an exciting car. But it is an important one. If it sells – and Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn is betting his company’s future on it – this ...

Honda Walking Assist devices (2009) CAR review

Honda Walking Assist devices (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 23 October 2009 11:22

If you thought yesterday’s CAR test of Honda’s U3-X electric unicycle was weird, wait until you here about these two ‘walking assist’ devices. Since 1999 Honda has been researching and developing walking assist devices for people with leg problems, and CAR has just tested two such contraptions. Read on for our full review. So what are these new Honda walking ...

Honda U3-X (2009) CAR slide review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman (photos by Mark Fagelson), 22 October 2009 10:55

The new Honda U3-X might look like a glorified unicycle but beneath the carbonfibre skin it’s a fiendishly clever bit of kit. Unveiled at the 2009 Tokyo motor show earlier this week, it’s one of Honda’s latest-generation personal mobility devices. CAR has just ridden the concept, so read on for our first slide review. Tell me all about the Honda ...

Volvo C30 BEV electric car (2009) CAR review

Volvo C30 BEV electric car (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 24 September 2009 11:20

We've just driven Volvo's first electric car – the C30 BEV. It's a prototype for a battery C30, and shows what you can expect on sale by 2014. Volvo calls it a rolling laboratory but for an early mule, it's impressively well finished. All four seats are present and you climb in to face a very normal looking C30. That ...
