Nissan EV-02 prototype (2008) electric CAR review

Jonny Smith, 08 August 2008 10:14

Nissan has fallen behind domestic rivals like Honda and Toyota in the green stakes. Both have hybrids on sale in the UK but Nissan has nothing. To match the pair Nissan has decided to make a fully electric vehicle (EV) the main pillar of its eco strategy, with plans to have an EV in production by 2010. Luckily Nissan’s had its ...

Ford Mondeo 1.8 Econetic (2008) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 04 July 2008 00:00

Another week, another mainstream model that's been 'greened'. Ford is launching Econetic models across its range – with the common goal of boosting economy and battering emissions. The new Mondeo Econetic goes on sale in July 2008 and it enters a pretty busy sector; we've already tested numerous VW Bluemotion models as well as Seat's Ecomotive versions. The Mondeo follows ...

Renault Scenic ZEV H2 prototype (2008) CAR review

Richard Aucock, 27 June 2008 09:00

Renault, that so traditional and straight-laced of car companies. It makes sensible family cars and MPVs for sensible folk. The Regie doesn’t do revolution lightly. But, for the past decade, it’s quietly been having an environmental revelation. Why? Because sustainability chimes perfectly with the way its family-orientated customers think, too. Which is how we’ve got this: a working, driveable compact ...

VW Passat 1.9 Bluemotion (2008) CAR review

4.5

Richard Aucock, 24 June 2008 09:23

The Passat Bluemotion is part of a burgeoning range of eco-Volkswagens. The Polo Bluemotion started things off, but it is the dearer, more mainstream stuff - like the Passat - that will make VW money. Indeed, UK stocks of the Passat and Golf are already sold out for months. What have they done to make Blue go green? More than ...

Smart Fortwo ED (2008) electric CAR review

3.5

Andrew Noakes, 19 June 2008 15:16

Smart isn’t trialling 100 electric Fortwos in the UK, instead of Germany, because our petrol prices are higher, or because our congestion charges more swingeing. In fact, it's largely because the Electric Drive conversion and the 'hot' battery technology underpinning the Smart Fortwo ED were both developed by Zytek in Lichfield, Staffordshire. Apart from the electrics, what’s changed in this ...

Ford Focus 1.6 Econetic (2008) CAR review

4.5

Glen Waddington, 30 April 2008 12:44

Ford’s gone green with the Focus Econetic, so you can put that order for a Toyota Prius on hold. Stick a pair of sill extensions and narrow tyres on a Focus, lower it, and you get a drag factor of 0.31 and a class-leading carbon output of 115g/km. It even comes with a natty little Econetic badge on the bootlid, ...

Lotus Low CO2 test car (2008): first ride CAR review

4.5

Ben Pulman, 18 March 2008 08:30

Lotus is a name you associate with sports cars from Norfolk. And in our eco-conscious times the light weight of the Elise et al makes Hethel's cars an increasingly environmentally friendly proposition for the sporting driver. But what about the rest of us who need to transport a family of four, or can’t afford a lithe little Elise? Lotus Engineering, ...

Think City (2008) CAR Review

Nick Gibbs, 12 March 2008 08:57

The Think City goes on sale at the end of 2008 with the ability to drive over 100 miles on one charge and hit 60mph. It also looks, steers and, so we’re promised, crashes like a modern city car. If it looks familiar, then you remember Ford’s aborted eco project. This is that same car six years on, back in ...

Mitsubishi i-EV (2007) electric CAR review

Ben Oliver, 05 October 2007 09:50

Just another pie-in-the-sky electric concept car, right? Wrong, for two reasons. Firstly, we’ve driven it: CAR Online is the first to get behind the wheel of the Mitsubishi i-EV. Second, Mitsubishi reckons it can have it on sale in the UK as early as next year - though 2009 seems a safer bet – for under fifteen grand. That will ...

Lexus LS600h hybrid (2007) CAR review

4.5

Ged Maxwell, 07 August 2007 12:10

Another hi-tech hybrid feast from Lexus? What's on the menu then? Well, if the gadget-laden LS460 isn't quite gadgety enough for you, this green LS hybrid might satisfy your appetite for technology. For a start, it has four-wheel drive, a petrol V8 paired with an electric motor, and an eight-speed continuously variable transmission. It's the full king's banquet. And it's ...
