Jaguar XJ 3.0D (2011) long-term test review

Jaguar XJ 3.0D (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 15 November 2011 10:00

Goodbye to our Jaguar XJ 3.0D – 15 November 2011 The brave new XJ has stolen the hearts and wallets of Britain’s luxury car buyers, becoming the UK’s number one luxury saloon. But after six months on the CAR long-term fleet last year, did it steal ours? We actually ran two XJs – a long wheelbase 503bhp Supersport first, followed by a ...

Mercedes S350 CDI BlueEfficiency LWB (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Visually, there's little to pinpoint the 2009 facelift of the S-class; a more arrow-shaped radiator grille here, a fresh bumper and exhausts there. But myriad changes were ushered in under the skin, with many of Merc's technical innovations from its new models such as the E-class cascading upwards. It's normally the reverse in Stuttgart. This S350 CDI variant is new, ...

Audi A8 4.2 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

I didn’t realise Audi was doing a long-wheelbase A4. Is there no niche left unexplored? A4? This is the new 2010 Audi A8, Ingolstadt’s technological flagship, a limo built around a supercar-style aluminium spaceframe and boasting the sort of toys that would make Inspector Gadget envious (and owners thankful that Lucas doesn’t do Audi’s electrics). But it’s an easy mistake ...

BMW 740d (2009): new CAR review

BMW 740d (2009): new CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 17 July 2009 14:09

We’ve just returned from a day of hurling BMW’s new twin-turbo 740d around the Scottish Highlands, and also found the time for a test of the revised 730d as well as chatting to some of the company’s high-up engineers. An early start and a late finish, but everything in between was very good. Tell me about this new BMW 740d ...

BMW 730d SE (2009) CAR review

Barely 25 years ago, Mercedes and Jaguar had this market – then the sub-Rolls market – sewn up. BMW was knocking on the door but only got its foot in with the second-gen 7-series of 1986. Audi came along with the A8 a few years later and today there are still only those four key players, with some upstart rivals ...

Mercedes S320 CDI LWB (2008) CAR review

Mercedes S320 CDI LWB (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 02 June 2008 12:30

The best car Mercedes makes? Surely it’s got to be the S320 CDI. The S-class absolutely dominates its market segment and, according to Merc, nearly 25 percent of all limos sold in the UK are the diesel S320 CDI. That’s absolute hegemony in the car market, and it’s not like there isn’t any opposition from BMW, Audi and Jaguar. But ...

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI (2008) CAR review

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 19 May 2008 12:16

The Volkswagen Phaeton is overshadowed by the Audi A8 as VAG’s luxury car and, for some, that could be its allure. If you’re interested in space and comfort more than style and glamour, the Volkswagen Phaeton would save you nearly £8000. So tell me, is the Volkswagen Phaeton as dull as it looks? Fair enough, it’s not going to set ...

BMW 730Ld SE (2008) CAR review

Big sports saloon or limo? Actually, the long-wheelbase BMW 7-series aims towards the genuine limo class. And it's huge. Huge enough to make you wonder if a 3.0-litre turbodiesel could ever be enough to shift you in VIP-style haste. So is the BMW 7-series a great limo to spend time in? From the driving seat you'll soon forget the 'L' ...

Jaguar XJ 2.7 TDVi (2007) CAR review

New. In what sense exactly? Okay, so neither you, I nor Jaguar is under any illusion that the ‘real’ new XJ can’t come soon enough. Current Jag execs admit that the decision to stick with retro design was a mistake and that the next car will look much more modern, taking cues from the C-XF concept. But that car won’t ...
