VW XL1 (2013) CAR review

2.5

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 ...

Audi A8 Hybrid (2012) CAR review

2.5

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 ...

Toyota Auris HSD (2011) CAR review

2.5

Mark Hamilton, 24 March 2011 07:00

Toyota is proud of the British-built Auris Hybrid, which mates Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive with the Corolla-replacing midsize hatchback. The bumf proclaims: ‘70mpg, 93g/km and a 700-mile range!’ ‘Nothing to see here,’ whispers the standard exterior, with just discrete blue-tinted badging giving the game away. Unlike the Toyota Prius, which proclaims its earth-friendly image with a distinctive eco-car exterior, the Auris Hybrid ...

Cadillac Escalade Hybrid (2010) CAR review

2.5

Tim Pollard, 01 November 2010 10:15

The Cadillac Escalade really does represent all that was wrong with old GM. It might have briefly enjoyed a cult status as the preferred vehicle of choice for rap artists, overpaid footballers and other bling merchants but - believe me - the Escalade is so off the pace, it never really made it off the starting line. We tested the ...

Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid (2010) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 03 September 2010 14:00

The Porsche Cayenne caused controversy when it was launched, angering Porschephiles who believed that the Stuttgart sports car company shouldn’t be building such monstrosities. Of course the looks didn’t help the Cayenne’s case with traditionalists, but since the Mk1 Cayenne went on sale it’s proved to be a cash cow for Porsche. Now there’s a new version of the big ...

Toyota Prius long-term test review (2010)

2.5

the CAR road test team, 23 July 2010 08:58

Long-term test update – 23 July 2010 Breaking news: just filled the Prius after my best-possible-behaviour tankful of obeying all speed limits and using minimal throttle openings during a mix of mainly motorway and rural A-road driving, with a smattering of urban pottering. Result? 56.34mpg. Somewhat better than my normal low 40s mpg, still someway off the claimed 70mpg. I also got ...

Kia Ceed 1.6 Hybrid (2008) CAR review

2.5

Jesse Crosse, 22 September 2008 14:00

Kia has changed almost beyond recognition over the last few years, from a low-cost Korean brand to a maker of well-made European-designed cars that can hold their own with the best of them. Now it’s launching a full-scale attack on the advanced environmental technologies too, with plans to launch a hybrid first in the Korean market and later in Europe. ...

Honda Civic IMA CAR (2007) review

2.5

Ben Oliver, 27 June 2007 12:44

The poor man’s Prius? The Civic IMA is certainly cheaper than the better-known Prius, starting from £16,300 to the Toyota’s £17,765. Its propulsion principle is the same; IMA stands for Integrated Motor Assist. Both cars are petrol-electric hybrids and use batteries to store the energy that would otherwise be lost during braking. That energy is then sent to an electric ...
