Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ollie Kew, 23 May 2013 16:00

Nissan has given the 370Z a shot in the arm for its fourth year on sale, cutting the price of the entry-level model by £3,005, and adding a new range-topper: the upgraded 370Z Nismo. So just how cheap is a new 370Z now? You can get a base-spec coupe for £26,995, which comes with the facelifted front end (new bumper ...

Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 23 May 2013 11:00

The Vauxhall Cascada is a two-door, four-seat soft-top  pitched against the Audi A5 Cabriolet. Underneath the skin there are bits of Astra hatchback and Insignia saloon, but the Cascada looks altogether classier than run-of-the-mill Vauxhalls. In a class dominated by image and brand cachet over driving dynamics, can the Cascada cut it? We drove the 2.0-litre CDTi diesel in range-topping Elite ...

Renaultsport Megane Red Bull Racing RB8 (2013) first pictures

Rated 2 out of 52

Ollie Kew, 21 May 2013 10:00

Five months after winning its third consecutive F1 constructor’s title, Red Bull has teamed up with F1 engine producer’s Renault to celebrate with a special hot hatch. It’s called (deep breath): Renault Megane Renaultsport Red Bull Racing RB8. Surely the engine supplier to the mighty Seb Vettel has upped power for this RS Megane? Nope. It’s still a 2.0-litre turbocharged ...

Rated 4 out of 54

Damion Smy, 19 May 2013 11:00

The BMW 5-series has been facelifted, although you’d be hard pressed to tell on the outside. The most significant changes are under the tweaked skin... So what’s actually been changed? The biggest news is that there’s a new model – the BMW 518d – powered by a 143bhp/265lb ftversion of the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel. It’s offered in the saloon and Touring ...

Rated 2 out of 52

Damion Smy, 15 May 2013 13:45

Lexus has confirmed it’s readying a new baby SUV to take on the Audi Q3 and BMW X1, as well as the forthcoming Mercedes GLA – and we’ve caught it testing ahead of its debut at the Tokyo motor show at the end of 2013. The new SUV will be the cheapest Lexus SUV on offer, sitting below the RX in the ...

Jaguar ‘X760’ (2014) new spy shots of baby Jag

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 14 May 2013 11:00

These are the latest spy shots of Jaguar’s next entry-level model testing on UK roads. Set to take the form of either a Mercedes CLA-style four-door coupe or a coupe-crossover in the vein of the BMW X4, the new Jaguar should arrive in 2015. What powers this test mule? Under the bonnet of this sorry-looking XF bodyshell is a 3.0-litre ...

VW Golf GTI (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 22 April 2013 13:00

This is the VW Golf GTI Mk7: the fastest, most frugal Golf GTI ever made.  Is it just a subtle tweak of its Mk6 predecessor, or a truly great hot hatch worthy of the GTI name? To find out, we’ve borrowed a pre-production GTI for a revealing 350km shakedown experience in the Ile de France region around Paris. The car’s ...

Rated 3 out of 53

the CAR road test team, 22 April 2013 09:00

Month 4 running a Mazda CX-5: our CX-5's build quality impresses Ask my wife’s 86-year-old grandfather, who suffers from failing eyesight, about what he misses most and he says it’s driving. Growing up in Cyprus he would rattle around in tractors and Austin Sevens when he was still in short trousers. After moving his family to England in the 1960s, he owned ...

VW Golf GTI priced from £25,845 in UK

Rated 1.5 out of 51.5

Ollie Kew, 04 April 2013 14:00

The new Mk7 VW Golf GTI is now on sale in the UK priced from £25,845. That's only a £195 rise over the old Mk6 Golf GTI, despite the extra power, performance, and a 2.2mpg improvement in economy. Hang on - nearly £26k for a VW Golf GTI is a bit steep, isn't it?  Actually, it's better value than the old Mk6 Golf GTI. For a ...

Jeep Cherokee (2013) first official pictures

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 27 March 2013 11:50

This is the new Jeep Cherokee. Don't confuse it with Jeep’s X5-on-a-budget Grand Cherokee: this is a medium-sized SUV designed to go after the Land Rover Freelander, Audi Q5 and BMW X3. How to stand out with a class of such diverse and talented opposition? Jeep has chosen the route of extremely controversial styling. Read on for the full spec ...
