VW Polo R Line (2012) first official pictures

Rated 3 out of 53

Mark Hamilton, 30 April 2012 07:52

Sportiness is not a word normally associated with the VW Polo. Even in GTI guise the current VW Polo is a rather sober driving experience compared to more exuberant rivals like the Renaulsport Clio or upcoming Ford Fiesta ST. There's nothing wrong with that, but with a WRC campaign on the horizon and a sensible-shoes donor car on its hands, ...

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 06 March 2012 08:30

This is the VW Polo BlueGT, just unveiled at the 2012 Geneva motor show. The VW Polo BlueGT is the second most powerful Polo you can buy, but thanks to some clever technology is also one of the cleanest and greenest. VW Polo BlueGT? Is this a hot hatch with an eco conscious? Sort of. Says Volkswagen: ‘This uncommon coexistence ...

Ben Pulman, 17 February 2012 07:00

This is the Peugeot 208 XY Concept, which will be unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March 2012. It’s designed to be something very different from the 208 GTi concept that Peugeot will also unveil in Geneva. And that is? Convince me or I’m off to read that Peugeot 208 GTi story… We’ll just let you read the 208 ...

Kia Rio three-door (2012) first official pictures

Rated 1.5 out of 51.5

Marcus Roberts, 26 January 2012 12:08

Nearly a year on from the unveiling of the five-door Rio, Kia today launched the three-door Rio supermini. What’s different on the three-door Rio? It's lost two doors, stupid! Not a huge amount has changed from the five-door: it has the same wheelbase and manages to keep the Rio's 288-litre boot space. A new more European style blade swoops down the side profile, reminiscent of ...

Toyota Yaris Hybrid (2012) first official pictures

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 09 January 2012 23:01

This is the new Toyota Yaris Hybrid, and although it’s been unveiled on the same day as the world’s motoring media descends upon Detroit for the 2012 North American International Auto Show, it's not there. Instead, the new Toyota Yaris Hybrid won’t actually appear until the Geneva show in early March 2012. Presumably the Toyota Yaris Hybrid is even cleaner and greener ...

Audi A1 Sportback (2012) first official pictures

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 18 November 2011 10:28

Audi is expanding the A1 range with the long-anticipated five-door, the new A1 Sportback. The five-door A1 arrives in showrooms in spring 2012. You won't mistake it -although it's the same length as the three-door A1, at 3950mm, it's 6mm taller and wider to pack in more space for heads and doors. The wheelbase is the same, but those extra doors have ...

Peugeot 208 (2012) first official pictures

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 02 November 2011 06:30

This new Peugeot 208 will replace the 207 in 2012. These first official photos of the 208, issued today, reveal a compact supermini which aims to put Peugeot back on the mini map. The 208 will be sold as a three- or five-door - for now - although we'd expect a variety of spin-offs will follow, most likely including a ...

Suzuki Swift (2011) at Frankfurt motor show

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 13 September 2011 09:00

Back in 2006, the Suzuki Swift took CAR Magazine’s Car Of The Year gong ahead of some pretty accomplished opposition. But, since then, it’s rarely featured in our pages while the Renaultsport Clio has stolen our small-car affections. Suzuki’s star of the Frankfurt show, the Suzuki Swift Sport, hopes to put the model back on the radar. Suzuki Swift Sport ...
