Seat Alhambra 2.0 TDI SE DSG (2012) long-term test review

4.5

the CAR road test team, 13 April 2012 10:00

The highs and lows of an integrated seat – 13 April 2012 We were pretty much given a blank canvas by Seat when speccing up the Alhambra. We went fairly conservative too, with road test editor Ben Pulman reining in my demands for the pretty olive green-cum-gold ‘boal’ paint in favour of bold salsa red, but our Spanish friends did stipulate one ...

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTi 130 (2011) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 06 October 2011 18:00

Vauxhall is replacing the Zafira with the new Zafira Tourer - and it also isn't. Eh? What's with the new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer? Well, the new Zafira Tourer you see here will be in addition to today's Zafira MPV. Rather like Renault with the Clio, Vauxhall plans to sell both old and new concurrently. The thinking is it'll give GM a ...

VW Sharan (2011) CAR review

2.5

Al Suttie, 02 June 2011 13:00

The new VW Sharan slipped discretely into the MPV marketplace in 2010, replacing a people carrier that had been first launched in 1995. Back in the mid-90s, the Sharan was a product of a joint venture with Ford that saw the original Ford Galaxy, and the Seat Alhambra sharing the same platform. Ford went its own way in 2006, with ...

Ford C-Max 1.6 TDCI (2011) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 04 April 2011 11:55

This is Ford’s second-generation C-Max, one of ten models Ford will spin off its new global C-platform – there’s a bigger Grand C-Max, three Focus models, plus hybrid and electric versions as well, and by 2012 it'll underpin 2m units annually. It’s the new Grand C-Max that will take to name to North America too, and cater for the 60% ...

Seat Alhambra 2.0 TDI Ecomotive S (2011) CAR review

Anonymous, 03 January 2011 07:35

The new Seat Alhambra MPV is once again twinned with Volkswagen's Sharan, but the familial links have been cut with Ford's Galaxy. Think of the new 2010 Alhambra as a cut-price VW; our Alhambra 2.0 TDI Ecomotive model costs around £800 less than the equivalent Sharan. It's a pretty compelling reason to pick the Seat badge. We tested the Alhambra ...

Chevrolet Orlando 2.0 VCDi LTZ (2010) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 30 November 2010 22:51

The new Chevrolet Orlando is Chevy's first foray into the mid-sized compact MPV market in Europe. CAR's just driven the Orlando people carrier in Spain to see how it compares with the new Ford C-Max, Renault Scenic, Vauxhall Zafira and their ilk. Read our first road test review of the new 2011 Orlando to see if it hits the spot. Chevrolet Orlando: ...

Hyundai ix35 2.0 CRDi (2010) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 28 April 2010 09:00

This is the new Hyundai ix35, the Korean company’s replacement for the frankly forgettable Tucson. But Hyundai is on a roll at the moment, having notched up some huge sales increase during the scrappage scheme, and keep those showroom figures high with their own incentives. In short, the brand is now on the general public’s radar, and offerings like the ...

Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi (2009) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 02 July 2009 10:58

Think ‘Renault Scenic’ today and what does it conjure up? Mum stuck in traffic on the school run. Jammy-fingered kids staring wistfully out of the window. Dad pootling down to the seaside with the whole clan seething inside it. There are so many cars like the Scenic on the road today, it’s easy to forget how radical it was when ...

Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi (2009) CAR review

3.5

Jed Maxwell, 28 January 2009 14:30

Sensible, practical, useful – MPVs are all of those things. What they’re not, is fun. Until now. The Citroen C3 Picasso does all the normal useful stuff you expect of a people mover, but does it in a much more entertaining way. Is the Citroen C3 Picasso the coolest MPV ever? I do have a bit of a soft spot for ...

Ford Galaxy 2.0 TDCi Ghia (2008) CAR review

3.5

Colin Overland, 13 October 2008 10:37

Before the current Mondeo arrived, its styling, its cabin technology and its chassis were previewed in the latest version of Ford’s biggest MPV, the Galaxy. And if you think the supersized Mondeo is big, the Galaxy will have you searching for a new adjective. It looks like the S-Max, and everyone loves the S-Max, so what’s the point of this? ...
