BMW ActiveHybrid 5 (2012) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 01 February 2012 10:45

This is the new 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5. And if you haven’t guessed already, that means it’s a hybrid version of BMW’s 5-series executive saloon. Essentially it’s an electrified 535i, and rather idiosyncratically the addition of 150kg of extra weight has supposedly improved fuel consumption and emissions by a double-digit percentage. It’s simpler than the defunct twin electric motor BMW X6 ...

Mercedes CLS250 CDI (2012) long-term test review

2.5

Ben Oliver, 30 January 2012 11:45

Welcome to our new Mercedes-Benz CLS 250 CDI long-termer - 30 January 2012 Welcome to the new luxury. The Mercedes-Benz CLS250 CDI is an elite car for humbler times. It’s a coupe that offers each occupant a door, rather than making rear-seat passengers feel like second-class citizens, and is powered by a small, efficient, clean diesel engine when for a ...

Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 TDI (2011) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 26 January 2012 10:49

Fine in daylight, but not much good in these winter months. Modern light technology though, makes it easy for designers to ...

Lexus GS450h F Sport (2012) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 19 December 2011 10:47

This is the fourth generation Lexus GS, but it’s not about to take on the hegemony of Audi, BMW and Mercedes in Europe as there are still no plans for a four-cylinder diesel. There /is/ a new 2.5-litre V6 petrol but, officially, it’s dirtier and less fuel efficient than the headline-grabbing hybrid version, the GS450h. It’s the hybrid we’ve tested ...

Mercedes R350 CDI L (2011) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 11 November 2011 09:26

What factors contribute to the size of your typical family? Costs, contraception, the size of the family home, the fear of having an uneven-numbered odd-one-out, divorce? One of my overbearing concerns has always been the limiting effect a larger family would have on my choice of car, both in terms of enjoyment and in purely practical concerns. Selfish, I know. ...
