Hyundai seem to improve their image (and the value of their marque) on an almost monthly basis. This new i30 hatch highlights their new strategy which is focusing on quality as well as a very strong and comprehensive warranty. So just how much better is the new 2012 i30 compared to the previous edition? Watch […]
This is the 2012 Audi RS4 Avant. As you can see, it is an extremely aggressive looking estate car. Though that simple description rather undersells the car, which is fitted with a fire breathing 4.2-litre V8, delivering 450PS at 8,250rpm and 430Nm from 4,000 to 6,000rpm. This means the 0-62mph sprint is completed in 4.7 […]
This is the new Citroen DS5. Not only does it have some wonderful bold styling on the outside, but the inside is Aviation inspired, with a cockpit styled roof and cabin seemingly shrink wrapped around the driver. Even better is the distinctly modern drivetrain offering four wheel drive – it is a bespoke Hybrid4 full-hybrid […]
Lamborghini may sound like a brand that is not normally associated with sports utility vehicles. However, those amongst you who are true petrolheads will recall the rare (and utilitarian looking) LM002. It is, in appearance, very similar to a Humvee and the new car which is as yet unnamed will be a spiritual successor. Power […]
This is the Audi A1 Quattro – the smallest super-powered car that Audi produces. With four wheel drive from the bespoke Quattro system and 256PS at 6,000rpm (and 350Nm of torque between 2,500 and 4,500rpm), this is a small car that slips easily into the hot hatch category. Perhaps surprisingly, there will be only 19 […]
Subaru has announced pricing and specification levels for its new All-Wheel Drive crossover vehicle, the XV. Priced from £21,295 for entry level 1.6i S models, the latest addition to the Japanese brand’s stable is set to firmly establish itself as one of the most capable and best-value-for-money compact crossovers currently available. The five-star Euro NCAP-rated […]
This is the new Fiat 500L, which will have its world preview at the International Geneva Motor Show on 6 March 2012. 500L – the L stands for ‘Large’, hardly a revolutionary concept but it does make an already attractive car likely to be more widely appealing to other markets (such as it is, the […]
Here’s a new competition that you’ll want to take a look at if you have what it takes to be a car reviewer and you fancy being sat behind the wheel of the Citroën DS5: If you’ve watched the Top Gear presenters and thought you could do better; if you’ve always wanted to test drive […]
In a resumption of a dormant series, here’s the return of the ‘Something For The Weekend’ feature – the first for 2012. This car is the ‘ultimate Corvette’ – the ZR1. In time honoured tradition, the ZR1 is a reasonably light supercar with a big block (supercharged) V8 engine producing 638 horsepower! Top speed listed […]
This is the new Citroën DS3 Ultra Prestige Edition. Not content with the standard car, Citroen has added even more luxury into the mix. There is more extravagant leather and a watchstrap design upholstery. The front seats also feature a ‘crescendo’ colour effect which apparently has never been produced on in a vehicle before. What […]
