Mercedes B200 Sport (2012) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 24 January 2012 09:36

Coldplay: with their catchy melodies and inoffensive lyrics, those lovely British lads epitomise mainstream rock music. Now I reckon there’ll be a lot of Coldplay-ed in the new 2012 Mercedes B-class. Both are middle-class, family-friendly and rather safe. Apparently, the B-class MPV (or sports tourer in Merc-speak) is the most extensive new model update in Benz’s history, adopting a new ...

Toyota Verso-S (2011) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 21 March 2011 15:00

It’s 11 years since Toyota was at the vanguard of the mini-MPV segment with the launch of the Yaris Verso. Now, six years after the demise of the vehicle that came to be known as the ‘ice-cream van’, Toyota makes a long-awaited return to the sector with the Verso-S. 2011 Toyota Verso-S - return of the Toyota mini-MPV The previous ...

Mazda 5 2.0 DISI (2010) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 23 June 2010 11:34

Mazda will replace its 5 midi-MPV in autumn 2010 and CAR's just driven the new minivan. The new Mazda 5 (2010) is the first production car to bear the full fruits of the company's much-vaunted 'Nagare' design policy, with some highly unusual sculpting on the flanks. As you can read in our news story here, that design direction is being ...

Vauxhall Meriva 1.4T SE (2010) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 13 April 2010 14:32

The last Vauxhall Meriva was a charmless, if effective, little box. The new one looks great, but is there more substance to it than those rear suicide doors? Is this the first mini MPV that you’re not embarrassed to be seen in? Could well be. We thought that Kia’s Venga (or at least the show car that previewed it) was ...

Ford S-Max 2.0 SCTi EcoBoost (2010) CAR review

2.5

Tim Pollard, 08 March 2010 09:11

Ford’s S-Max MPV still seems a spring chicken, but it has in fact been on sale since 2006. Hence the 2010 facelifted S-Max you see here, ushering in a range of cosmetic tweaks (minor) and engineering upgrades (rather more significant). We’ve tested the all-new model, premiering Ford’s new global EcoBoost engines. Announced at the 2009 Detroit auto show, EcoBoost has ...

Nissan Cube 1.6 Kaizen (2010) CAR review

3.5

Jed Maxwell, 19 February 2010 10:00

It’s taken three generations, but Nissan’s funky Cube has finally made it Europe through official channels. But is it a case of style over substance? Hmm, this latest Nissan Cube looks slightly less, well, square. Yes, some of the earlier car’s styling edge has gone, in both senses, but it’s still a striking looking car and stands out a mile ...

Toyota Verso TR 2.0 D-4D (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 08 June 2009 09:40

Toyota’s medium people-carrier is in its third incarnation now, complete with seven seats as standard for every model, this time. Trouble is, it’s a crowded market, with everyone in on the act since Renault’s Megane Scenic kick-started things in 1996. Can Toyota’s latest effort be enough to make it stand out? Okay, it’s a Toyota, so I’m not expecting an ...

Volvo XC60 D5 long-term test CAR review

the CAR road test team, 05 May 2009 15:00

Long-term update – 5 May 2009 After I came back from university, fully educated but with little more than beans in my wallet, I spent several months sleeping in the garret at the top of my parents’ house. It was so small, there wasn’t enough room to swing a hamster around it. It had a bed (single), hi-fi (compact) and ...

Renault Grand Scenic 1.4 TCe (2009) CAR review

3.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 20 April 2009 10:30

Ho hum… Another day, another compact family MPV. Only this time we really should sit up and pay attention at the back. After all, Renault started the whole boiling with the first Scenic back in … oh, 1873, and three generations on - and having finally found sufficient brand confidence to drop the Megane moniker - you’d expect Renault to have ...

Peugeot 3008 1.6 THP (2009) CAR review

2.5

Stephen Worthy, 17 April 2009 12:29

This is Peugeot's new 3008, the French company's first 'crossover' vehicle, and while it will never be classed as a good-looker, as we're about to discover it’s got much to commend it. Even if Peugeot isn't entirely sure exactly what it is. So what is the Peugeot 3008? MPV? SUV? Hatchback? All of those and more, says Peugeot. The company describes it as a ...
