BMW 3-series Gran Turismo (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Georg Kacher, 22 May 2013 12:30

This is the BMW 3-series GT, which starts from £28,835. Cast in the same (albeit smaller) mould as the unloved 5GT, the 3-seres Gran Turismo offers estate-beating versatility, but does it still drive like a proper BMW? We drove the 320d and 335i models model to find out. So, what’s the point? Is that what you’re thinking? Us too. We ...

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 ...

Peugeot 308 (2014) first pictures of Peugeot's new Focus-fighter

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 13 May 2013 09:00

This is Peugeot's all-new family hatchback: the 308. Yep, that's right: Peugeot isn't rolling over to the '309' moniker, but don't be fooled: the new 308's design looks worlds apart from the off-the-pace outgoing car. Sticking with the same model names for all future cars will simplify the range for consumers, reckons Peugeot: it's a demonstration of the fightback to rebuild ...

Skoda is taking this Rapid Sport concept to the 2013 Wörthersee show. The cosmetically hotted-up Rapid is the latest VW Group car to get a modified version for the Wörthersee enthusiast’s show, though CAR hears the Rapid won’t get a production performance version. What puts the ‘Sport’ into the Skoda Rapid Sport concept? The two-tone red and silver concept car ...

Nissan Qashqai 360 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 07 May 2013 13:50

Nissan has updated its Qashqai crossover for 2013. On the new ‘360’ trim level which replaces the mid-range Ntec+ trim, the headline news is a 360-degree view parking camera. It’s a familiar car now, but does its age mean the Qashqai has dropped off the pace? CAR tested the 1.6dCi version to find out. Isn’t the Qashqai getting a bit ...

This is the new Kia Soul. For its second generation, Kia's quirky supermini crossover has adopted design cues from the 2012 Trackster concept, and sits on a wider, stiffer chassis. The boxy Soul has been a huge hit with young drivers in America, but can this second-gen version also woo British buyers? Read on for the details, and deliver your ...

Available in the full range of A3 powertrain and trim options, a 296bhp S3 version will follow in a few months, as seen in these first official pictures. How do I pigeonhole the Audi A3 Saloon?

Mazda 6 2.2D Sport (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 19 March 2013 17:26

The new third-generation Mazda 6 is the lightest, most frugal version of the Mondeo/Passat rival yet. Available in saloon or ‘Tourer’ estate bodystyles, it’s priced from £19,595 for an entry-level petrol model. We’ve driven the 2.2-litre diesel saloon in top-spec Sport trim to see if this new 6 is as appealing as its predecessors. How much Mazda 6 do I ...

Alpina has revealed the first teaser shots of its hot 3-series supersaloon, the B3 BiTurbo, which packs 404bhp and 442lb ft. It's a BMW M3 by another name. The nitty gritty technical details will be revealed in full at next week's 2013 Geneva motor show, but for now read on for the spec of Alpina's potential giant-killer... What's under the bonnet ...
