Porsche Panamera Diesel (2011) CAR review

2.5

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, ...

Porsche Panamera V6 (2011) CAR review

2.5

Ben Barry, 10 June 2011 09:00

Porsche's Panamera is the entry-level model in Porsche's five-door GT range. Fitted with a 3.6-litre V6 engine, the basic Panamera begs a significant question: without the massive performance or four-wheel drive, does the Panamera's four-seater practicality overwhelm the controversial looks? Read on for out test of the Porsche Panamera V6 to find out... Porsche Panamera V6: the Porsche family car? ...

Audi A8 4.2 TDI (2010) long-term test review

2.5

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

The definition of agility – 15 July 2011 Phew. Breathless drive last night in our leviathan A8 4.2 TDI leaves me marvelling at the strange mysteries of dynamic scale. I’ll let you into a wee secret: myself and the editor had a slight disagreement the other day about the word ‘agility’. We wanted to get across the fact that the Alfa ...

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI SWB (2010) CAR review

2.5

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 ...

Mercedes E250 CDI (2009) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 16 March 2009 09:23

Mercedes' all-new E-class has a tough job on its hands. Throughout the '60s, '70s and '80s Mercedes dominated the medium-sized executive saloon market with cars like the W123 and W124. Cars so tough that you regularly still see them working hard for a living around the world. But then build quality disappeared, the styling became bland and the magic faded. ...

Mercedes E350 CGI (2009) CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 06 March 2009 10:19

Overlook worldwide recession and the automotive market place is primed for the launch of Mercedes’ new E-class. BMW’s 5-series feels old and outdated (it’ll be replaced in less than 12 months time) while Audi’s A6, despite (or perhaps because of) a minor facelift late last year, doesn’t feel particularly new either. So it’s an open net for Mercedes then, but ...

BMW 530d/520d (2009) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 27 January 2009 11:38

When faced with the all-new Mercedes E-class, the apparently new Audi A6 and Jaguar’s XF, it’s all too easy to forget about the executive saloon segment’s benchmark, the BMW 5-series. With a replacement due in 2010, we at CAR thought it time to reappraise the Five. Not least because CAR Online wasn’t around when the current 5-series was first launched, ...

Mercedes CLS320 CDI facelift (2008) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 24 April 2008 10:01

It’s facelift time for Merc’s banana-shaped CLS, a coupe/saloon crossover based on the dull old E-class. It hasn’t been around for long so there are no big changes for this mid-life refresh, just minor cosmetic tweaks to keep it looking contemporary in a line-up of newer Benz products. So guide me through the headline stuff for the Mercedes CLS320 CDI ...

Saab 9-5 Bio-fuel 2.0T (2007) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 02 August 2007 11:30

Nice stickers! Don’t tell me – it’s a Saab 9-5 running on bio-ethanol… Well-spotted Sherlock. This is indeed a very special 9-5 that turns up its nose at conventional fuels in favour of bio-ethanol. The 9-5 Bio-fuel was launched in its Swedish domestic market a year ago. Since then it’s accounted for 80 percent of all 9-5s sold – this ...
