Mercedes CLS250 CDI (2012) long-term test review

Mercedes CLS250 CDI (2012) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Oliver, 21 May 2012 11:01

More long trips in our Mercedes CLS - 21 May 2012 My wife has left me. I am 700 miles from home, on crutches with a right knee that has all the structural integrity of blancmange, and in two days’ time I’m expected to spend all day walking the halls of the Geneva Palexpo show complex. But I don’t expect ...

Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R (2012) CAR review, 15 February 2012 09:00

In the UK, we still think of Hyundais as being cheap little runabouts and, really, that’s true – a large number were shifted during the scrappage incentive, and you rarely see anything bigger than an i30 on our roads. These days we are getting a taste of more upmarket, sportier things from the Korean maker, including the impressive i40 and, ...

BMW ActiveHybrid 5 (2012) CAR review

BMW ActiveHybrid 5 (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 01 February 2012 10:45

This is the new 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5. And if you haven’t guessed already, that means it’s a hybrid version of BMW’s 5-series executive saloon. Essentially it’s an electrified 535i, and rather idiosyncratically the addition of 150kg of extra weight has supposedly improved fuel consumption and emissions by a double-digit percentage. It’s simpler than the defunct twin electric motor BMW X6 ...

Lexus GS450h F Sport (2012) CAR review

Lexus GS450h F Sport (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

This is the fourth generation Lexus GS, but it’s not about to take on the hegemony of Audi, BMW and Mercedes in Europe as there are still no plans for a four-cylinder diesel. There /is/ a new 2.5-litre V6 petrol but, officially, it’s dirtier and less fuel efficient than the headline-grabbing hybrid version, the GS450h. It’s the hybrid we’ve tested ...

Mercedes CLS350 CDI BlueEfficiency (2011) CAR review

Mercedes CLS350 CDI BlueEfficiency (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Mercedes-Benz is rightly proud of the outgoing CLS and the market for ‘four-door coupes’ that it pioneered. That car was a real shock when it was unveiled, a radical departure not just from the E class, but the entire Benz range. Some people hated it, but that was kind of the point. And those who loved it really, really loved ...

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI SWB (2010) CAR review

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI SWB (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 14 December 2010 13:00

This is Volkswagen’s revised 2010 Phaeton, an updated version of the German car company’s luxurious limousine. The Phaeton, along with the (much more successful) Touareg, was key to VW Group overlord Ferdinand Piëch’s plan to move the brand upmarket. A people’s car it ain’t, but then the Phaeton’s never had the kudos to compete head-on with BMW, Merc, Audi and ...

Infiniti M37S (2010) CAR review

Infiniti M37S (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 09 September 2010 15:30

This is the Infiniti M37, and it's Infiniti’s answer to the BMW 5-series and Mercedes E-class. And after we briefly tested the M35 Hybrid version in Japan, this is our first chance to try the new Infiniti M on UK roads. So the Infiniti M37 is now here in the UK, but was it by any chance designed primarily for ...

Audi S5 Sportback (2010) CAR review

Audi S5 Sportback (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 31 August 2010 10:00

Audi’s massive model expansion continues apace, and while Ingolstadt is busy offering up a plethora of new shapes and sizes (A7 Sportback, Q3) it’s also busy enhancing its existing models. The Audi A5 Sportback seemed a little odd when it was introduced in 2009, but it’s best to think of it as an exciting version of the A4 saloon. And ...

Infiniti M35 Hybrid (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 30 July 2010 09:55

This is the Infiniti M35 Hybrid, the company’s first hybrid offering. CAR has just been behind the wheel in Japan, and not only has the stint allowed us to test the electrified powertrain, but it’s also our first chance to assess the chances of Infiniti’s new 5-series/E-class/A6 rival. The new M Line is on sale in America and the UK ...

BMW 530d SE Gran Turismo (2009) CAR review

BMW 530d SE Gran Turismo (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Phil McNamara, 09 September 2009 14:00

BMW’s pursuit of niches barely visible to the naked eye continues with the 5-series Gran Turismo. Based on 7-series mechanicals and sharing all its gadgets, the 5 GT is a high-roofed hatchback, with lots of space for rear passengers and their luggage. BMW says it mixes the rear legroom of a 7-series with an SUV’s more commanding seating position and ...
