Lexus IS 300h F-sport (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 22 May 2013 15:00

Diesels are out and hybrids in, as Lexus has a third crack at the European premium elite. The third iteration of the IS saloon arrives in the UK with a choice of two engines: a 2.5 V6 petrol with 205bhp available from £26,495, and the 220bhp hybrid we drove, which starts at £29,495. The hybrid mates a 2.5-litre petrol four ...

VW XL1 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 01 May 2013 16:00

VW will build only 250 examples of its super-streamlined 313mpg XL1. CAR’s Georg Kacher has driven one of them to find out if it really can achieve its amazing claimed economy figures. First impressions of the VW XL1 You enter the vehicle through mighty gullwing doors which are blown open by little integrated pyrotechnic devices should the poor thing ever ...

Lexus GS450h (2013) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road-test team, 29 April 2013 10:00

Month 3 running a Lexus GS450h - gripes with the over-complicated infotainment I worry that I'm getting stupider, or that I’m just not bright enough to own a Lexus GS450h in the first place. For me, sitting in the driver’s seat with the manual open, the ignition on and a free hour is one of the joys of getting a new ...

Toyota Auris (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Jesse Crosse, 04 February 2013 09:05

Toyota GT86, Toyota Auris. Two cars at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to delivering thrills. While the GT86 has been making headlines, the Auris is universally perceived as, well, the motoring equivalent of kitchen equipment. And we’re not talking Kitchen Aid or Smeg here; we’re talking Morphy Richards. Toyota's 2013 Auris With the new Auris, Toyota is ...

Mercedes E300 Hybrid (2013 CAR review)

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

Infiniti M35h hybrid (2011) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 18 July 2012 11:01

Bidding farewell to the Infiniti M35h - 18 July 2012 Even after 14,575 miles, many of them gliding silently on a waft of electric torque, enough Toys to guarantee an R Us appendage and one Guinness World Record, I'm afraid most of the CAR team fail to warm to Infiniti's M35h. Sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting me ...

Toyota Yaris Hybrid (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Jesse Crosse, 31 May 2012 09:19

Squeezing the Hybrid Synergy Drive into the titchy Yaris was a next logical step for Toyota, which, after more than a decade of fighting the corner for petrol-electric cars, has more than proved its point. The new 2012 Toyota Yaris Hybrid is the first ever B-segment car to offer full hybrid technology and since the Yaris is the biggest selling ...

Audi A8 Hybrid (2012) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Steve Moody, 05 April 2012 06:00

Lie back, and think of China. Relaxing in the back of this new Audi A8 Hybrid, amid all the luxurious trappings of smoothed chrome, deep leather and pin sharp sound systems, I ruminated on the likely buyer of this car. Mainly to take my mind off the bloody racket. So what's going on in the new Audi A8 Hybrid? There's ...

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 ...

Honda CR-Z (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Whitworth, 31 January 2012 10:20

Goodbye to our Honda CR-Z – 31 January 2012 The departure of a long-term car is an odd experience. I rarely grow attached to the car as a true owner would, but tend to view them with a rather detached eye as something to be constantly evaluated and judged. The Honda was different. I really gelled with this car during the ...
