BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 22 December 2011 09:54

A new BMW 3-series is a big deal. The default sports saloon accounts for one third of BMW’s sales so the Munich firm can’t afford to get it wrong. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new BMW 3-series. Bar the comedy glasses, the new BMW 3-series looks the same to me. What’s changed? More than you’d imagine. Built on ...

Jaguar XF 2.2 D (2011) CAR review

Jaguar XF 2.2 D (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 28 June 2011 13:14

This new, facelifted XF 2.2 D is a very important car for Jaguar. If the Coventry company’s predictions are correct, it’ll nearly double XF sales, from 12k units in 2010 to 20k in 2012 (deliveries don’t start until September 2011). Fleet sales will be boosted as it dips below the crucial 160g/km tax threshold, and 43% of XFs to leave ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2011) CAR review

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 16 February 2011 09:59

This is the new Mercedes CLS63 AMG, Merc’s hotrod version of its ‘four-door coupe’. Think of its as a sleeker, more stylish version of the E63 AMG, only that this new Mercedes CLS63 doesn’t utilise its siblings naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8, but AMG’s latest direct-injection, twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8. brightcove.createExperiences(); Can the new forced-induction engine match the aural delights of the ...

BMW 530d SE (2010) new CAR review

BMW 530d SE (2010) new CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 26 March 2010 12:27

As benchmarks for the new BMW 5-series saloon go, the last-generation E60 530d takes some beating – fast, refined, dynamically capable, comfortable and incredibly durable. And, despite early controversy, its ‘flame surfaced’ body still looks fresh these days. It must be quite an intimidating act to follow, then, not only for its competitors, but also for its successor: the F10-generation ...

Jaguar XFR (2009) CAR review

Jaguar XFR (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 16 February 2009 10:56

Just as the storm clouds of recession gather, now is hardly the best time to launch an all-guns-blazing, unleaded-glugging super saloon with enough firepower to sink a 1990s Ferrari. But product lifecycles and automotive industrial sequences being what they are, Jag had no choice with its new XFR. It was hardly going to wait until clearer weather to launch its ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2008): CAR review

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2008): CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Christopher Hubbard, 18 June 2008 09:28

This is the top 'banana' – the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG with 507bhp and 465lb ft of torque. Mildly revised along with the rest of the CLS range, the CLS63 gets a new set of so-called silencers, and the same downshift-blipping auto-box as the AMG C-class. Is this enough to take the four-door uber-coupe from good to truly great? There’s only one ...
