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 ...

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% ...

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 ...

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: ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
