GM HydroGen4 concept car (2008) CAR review

GM HydroGen4 concept car (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Oliver, 11 December 2008 15:30

General Motor’s new HydroGen4 is the latest proof that fuel-cell cars are advancing at an astonishing rate; trouble is, they have so far to go. Hydrogen-powered cars are still light years away from being affordable and practical, but this one comes closer to looking, working and driving like a conventional car than any we’ve yet driven. It deserves your attention; ...

Fiat Fiorino Qubo 1.4 (2008) CAR review

Fiat Fiorino Qubo 1.4 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jesse Crosse, 15 September 2008 10:00

Fiat reckons its Qubo (that's a bastardisation of the Italian for 'cube') might fulfil a new market segment, as the funky and stylish answer to young, cash-strapped urban and suburban buyers looking for a car that’s both a lifestyle accessory on one level and an affordable, versatile workhorse on the other. That's the marketing waffle. We can't help feeling that ...

Mercedes-Benz F600 (2008) fuel-cell concept CAR review

Mercedes-Benz F600 (2008) fuel-cell concept CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 26 June 2008 09:00

Mercedes has been running a test fleet of fuel cell A-classes since 2002, and it’s preparing for small-scale production of a fuel cell B-class in 2010. To get an idea of what the fuel-cell B-class will be like, CAR has spent some time on the road with the curiously-named F600 HyGenius fuel cell concept, first seen at the Tokyo show ...

Saab 9-3 Turbo X (2008) and Aero XWD (2008) CAR review

Saab 9-3 Turbo X (2008) and Aero XWD (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Glen Waddington, 25 February 2008 12:24

Saab's been a bit cash-starved for a while, so the 9-3 Turbo X is the first new product from GM's Swedish outpost for some time. Don't get too excited: it's not a brand new car. But its advanced four-wheel drive system and twin-turbocharged V6 take the 9-3 into new territory. Is the 9-3 Turbo X a soft-road crossover or a ...

Kia Sportage FCEV (2007) CAR review

Kia Sportage FCEV (2007) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 04 December 2007 15:16

What is a FCEV? It stands for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle, and this Sportage SUV is Kia’s latest attempt at a hydrogen-powered car. This technology has been the talk of the industry for the last decade as the ultimate in eco-friendly motoring. Most experts thought production cars were another ten to 15 years away, as sky-high development costs and a ...

Honda FCX (2007) CAR review

Honda FCX (2007) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Oliver, 01 August 2007 02:00

So this is a ‘production fuel cell car’? Can’t find it in the Honda price list… You won’t. California law requires big car makers to offer zero-emission vehicles as part of their line-up, and the hydrogen fuel-cell powered FCX is Honda’s latest. It will hand-build fewer than 100 from 2008 and ‘lease’ them to high-profile or worthy users for a ...

Ford Focus FCV (2007) CAR review

Ford Focus FCV (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 25 June 2007 08:25

Why am I supposed to get excited about a last-generation Focus saloon? Partly because it has a spec-sheet that reads like a Porsche 911 GT3 RS – ultra-thin lightweight glass, bespoke parts in aluminium and magnesium, carbon fibre tank; in all, 150kgs of weight saving to compensate for the extra weight of the hydrogen fuel cell powering it, which Ford ...

GM Hy-Wire CAR (2007) review

GM Hy-Wire CAR (2007) review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 06 June 2007 07:31

The Hy-wire? Sounds like a circus act… Don't be fooled. It’s a very significant bit of technology. When General Motors unveiled AUTOnomy at the Detroit Motor Show five years ago, the oddly compelling hydrogen-powered chassis that looked more like an overblown and high-tech skateboard than the saviour of the motor industry, was seen as something as a watershed moment. Why? ...

Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE (2007) CAR review

Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 03 June 2007 02:36

How does a hydrogen-powered RX-8 work – and no technobabble please... It's simple. The RX-8's rotary engine can run on either petrol or hydrogen, which is stored in liquid form in a second fuel tank. The engine is fitted with a second set of hydrogen injectors that are situated above the intake chamber, and the driver has a switch in ...

BMW Hydrogen 7 (2006) CAR review

BMW Hydrogen 7 (2006) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Oliver, 16 November 2006 09:42

That’s not a green car. It’s a dirty great limo… Yes, it’s a long-wheelbase BMW 7-series with a 6-litre V12 engine. But it runs on liquid hydrogen as well as petrol, emitting virtually no CO2 when it’s burning H2. As hydrogen is one of nature’s most abundant elements, we’re not about to run out. And it’s a proper car: 0-60mph ...
