Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 (2011) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 06 September 2011 08:00

Peugeot Citroen have been showing Hybrid4 concepts for three years now - and finally the wait is over. The new Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 is here - and we've driven it. UK sales start in November 2011. This is a significant car on numerous counts. It's the first series production diesel-electric hybrid on sale. It's the first time you or I have ...

Ford Fusion Hybrid (2010) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 27 July 2010 12:06

Before we get too confused, I’d like to make just one thing clear: we’re not talking about the UK Ford Fusion here – the Fiesta on stilts that’s driven only by OAPs. No, this is the US Ford Fusion, the large four-door saloon, and we’re testing it in hybrid guise. Shouldn’t it look a bit more, well, futuristic? Admittedly the ...

Anonymous, 09 July 2010 15:11

CAR drove the new Vauxhall Ampera Extended Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) up the hillclimb at the 2010 Goodwood Festival of Speed – and below you can watch a brief video review of the Ampera as Tim Pollard cruises back down. brightcove.createExperiences(); It's been ages coming! When can we buy the Vauxhall Ampera? February 2012 is the current on-sale date; ...

BMW 318d (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 03 July 2009 09:21

Okay, so it’s a bit niche, but combining the lower-powered 3-series diesel with the ES trim pack and auto transmission makes for a brisk yet restful saloon. Could it be the perfect choice for motorway-bound user-choosers? Lower-powered diesel. Auto-box. Hmm… No, this is certainly no 335i on the cheap. But look at what you do get under the bonnet. With ...

Audi A4 3.0 TDI SE Quattro (2008) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 20 May 2008 10:09

Pick the optimum combo for a compact exec and the Audi A4 3.0 TDI SE Quattro might spring to mind: V6 diesel grunt and smoothness, the handling promise of four-wheel drive, suave looks and finish and a tempting equipment level. It costs nearly £30k (more like £42k, optioned-up like the test car) – and there’s stiff competition at that level, ...

BMW 135i Coupe (2007) CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 21 October 2007 12:01

So, is this the ‘One’ that everyone has been waiting for? Very good. The thought of a small, highly focused BMW, with the full M Sport works, powered by one of the finest engines on sale has certainly had us salivating. Shoehorned into the 135i’s engine bay is the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight six found in the 335i. It develops ...

Audi A4 3.2 Quattro (2007) CAR review

3.5

Peter Burgess, 08 October 2007 01:53

This new Audi A4, it looks classier than before... Audi has moved its game on, as indeed it had to. With squarer proportions than the ubiquitous 3-series, this forthcoming A4 looks decidedly more imposing on the road. There’s a considerably longer wheelbase – look at that BMW-esque front-wheel-in-the-front-corner stance. In turn, that pushes the engines further behind the front axle ...

BMW 325d (2006) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 15 November 2006 04:22

Does the world need another 3-series variant? There must be millions of them by now. And what’s so special about this one? This is the 325d and it’s designed to plug the gap between the popular four-pot 320d (163bhp/250lb ft) and six-cylinder 330d (231bhp/368lb ft), itself now supplanted at the top of the diesel tree by the 286bhp/427lb ft 335d. ...
