Iveco Massif Campagnola (2008) CAR review and video

Rated 2 out of 52

Richard Aucock, 26 September 2008 09:00

The new Massif is (truck maker) Iveco's passenger 4x4 and the company is aiming for 20 percent of the 4000-strong utility 4x4 sector that Land Rover dominates. It’s interesting because the Massif used to be a Santana which, long ago, was a Spanish-built Series III Land Rover, using a production line shipped over by Solihull. Think of the Iveco Massif as the Defender’s long-lost cousin. ...

Peugeot 407 1.6 HDI (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Richard Aucock, 07 July 2008 09:24

Peugeot doesn’t really do facelifts. Look at any model over the years, and there is rarely any mid-life new radicalism. But even by these standards, the ‘new’ 407 is hard to spot. New bumpers include a 308-style rear diffuser. All models get the colour-coding previously restricted to V6 models. And – we're struggling here – the tail lights are new. ...

Jaguar X-type 2.2D (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Richard Aucock, 01 July 2008 12:30

The X-type isn’t dead. It’s been given another facelift. Should we care? Well, while it can’t hold a candle to a 3-series or A4, it is now becoming the car it always should’ve been. This latest version has nearly 500 changes, and are centred around the mating, in both saloon and estate forms, of diesel to auto for the first ...

Ssangyong Kyron 2.0 S 2WD (2008) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Richard Aucock, 20 June 2008 09:03

Completing our test of the relaunched SsangYong range is this: the Kyron 4x4. Straddling compact and working SUV status, the Kyron was previously saddled with naïve pricing that punched way above its weight. Now, a 2WD version values it at a more reasonable £14,995, with a 4WD alternative for £2k more. It makes much more sense as a result – ...

Ssangyong Rodius 270 S (2008) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Richard Aucock, 12 June 2008 09:37

The Rodius is a well established winner... In ugly car awards, that is. So let’s look at the method in the madness, instead. Yes, it’s huge – stretching to over five metres in length – and that yields mammoth space for seven, in a 2-2-3 layout that encourages open-plan sensations. The middle seats swivel round for a power-crazed conference room ...

Ssangyong Rexton 270 S (2008) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Richard Aucock, 12 June 2008 09:29

With the relaunch of SsangYong in the UK, we're testing all their latest products. Dealers say they sell the Rexton large SUV to buyers with an inkling for an X5, but not the cash. It’s SsangYong’s oldest but best-looking machine, with cohesion to its lines that approaches smart class. It’s OK inside as well – influences are clearly Japanese hi-fi, ...

Chevrolet Epica 2.0D LS (2008) driven CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Richard Aucock, 15 May 2008 09:13

The Chevrolet Epica probably isn’t a car review you’ve been waiting for, but the real appeal lies in what dealers stick to the windscreen: £13,595. A typo? No, a price that buys you a base Epica. Really. A car longer than a Porsche Cayenne – and one with a straight-six petrol engine under the broad, commanding hood. Yes, just like ...

Toyota Land Cruiser V8 TD (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Richard Aucock, 17 January 2008 17:26

Toyota's Land Cruiser. Since 1954 and with five million made, it’s gone on to be the world’s best-selling SUV. The Range Rover’s an upstart compared to this, and Toyota’s world domination started with exports of the Land Cruiser. As such, the company treats it reverentially. That’s why it allowed a team of 1500 engineers the luxury of five years to ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.6 SRi (2007) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Richard Aucock, 11 December 2007 11:23

Vauxhall has revived the boy racer’s machine of choice. But rather than Nova SR, it's now called Corsa SRi, and you can even get a diesel. But we've got the turbocharged car on test, with a detuned version of the Corsa VXR's engine. Just think, in eight years times the streets will be lined with lots of white SRis. Hang ...
