BMW M6 Gran Coupe (2013) CAR review

Ben Barry, 19 April 2013 16:30

This is the new BMW M6 Gran Coupe, a four-door coupe/saloon that slots between the M6 coupe and M5 saloon. It gives Munich a direct rival to the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG (£82k) and forthcoming Audi RS7, and an excuse to add £24k to the M5's sticker price – it'll cost £97,490 when it goes on sale in May. The ...

Mercedes E250 SE (2013) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 13 February 2013 07:00

This is Mercedes’s revised E-class, which ushers in new looks, new trim levels and new engines to take the fight to the BMW 5-series, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF. What’s new on the new Mercedes E-class? The most obvious change is the revised front, which ditches the outgoing car’s quad headlight arrangement for two more curvaceous lamps. The whole nose ...

Mercedes E300 Hybrid (2013 CAR review)

3.5

Ben Barry, 31 January 2013 09:00

As six-pot turbodiesels make way for four-cylinders, you’re increasingly unlikely to spy a 3 on the rump of any big German saloon. Hence you’re more likely to see 520d, E250 CDI and A6 2.0 TDI than 530d, E350 CDI and A6 3.0 TDI. But Mercedes is offering a way to get a 3 back on your bootlid while bettering the ...

Audi A7 3.0 TDI Quattro SE S tronic (2012) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 05 July 2012 15:43

Seven years in the making, the largely flawless Audi A6’s only failing is that it seeks to appeal to the broadest possible customer spectrum by being so utterly anonymous that it is, frankly, almost too anonymous. A perfectly decent drive albeit, it’s far more of a technological tour de force than anything of a thrill to helm, having rifled the ...

BMW 640d M Sport Gran Coupe (2012) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 25 May 2012 07:00

This is the new 2012 BMW 6-series Gran Coupe – and it’s been a long time coming. Such is the pace of the modern automotive industry that as soon as one (usually premium German) manufacturer finds a new niche, its rivals rush in too. But Mercedes genuinely stole a march on the competition when it launched its CLS ‘four-door coupe’ ...

BMW M550d xDrive (2012) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 01 March 2012 11:30

This is the BMW M550d xDrive. It's the first of a new line of BMW M Performance Automobiles, set to sit above the bodykit and suspension-focused M Sport models, but below the full M-cars. But rather than sporting some sort of detuned M5 engine, this M550d xDrive has a diesel engine (albeit a triple turbo one), four-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. ...

BMW ActiveHybrid 5 (2012) CAR review

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

3.5

Ben Pulman, 19 December 2011 10:47

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 ...

AC Schnitzer ACS5 2.0d (2011) CAR review

Ben Barry, 19 October 2011 09:00

The 520d makes up the majority of BMW 5-series sales here in the UK – its blend of performance, frugality, space and low C02 emissions means it’s hard to beat, particularly for company car drivers. But here’s a thing: the AC Schnitzer ACS5 2.0d Sport. It’s sold in the UK through Rossiters in Kings Lynn, and promises similar pace to ...

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, ...
