Defying the downward UK car sales trend through 2017 and rising to become the second best selling brand in the country, Volkswagen is out to make a bigger impression this year as it plugs gaps in its range. One of the spaces falls between the Tiguan SUV and the Touareg 4x4 and its about to be filled by the Tiguan Allspace. Derived from the Tiguan SUV … [Read more...]
Roadtests
Sunday drive: Audi SQ5 3.0 TFSI quattro
Changing buying patterns have brought about a rethink by Audi, writes David Miles. The previous generation SQ5 was a V6 335bhp TDI turbodiesel model and the first ‘S’ model to have a TDI diesel engine in the UK and the first Q model to be available with ‘S’ performance specification. The latest Q5 range went on sale earlier in 2017 followed … [Read more...]
Weekend roadtest: Suzuki S Cross 1.4 SZ5 AllGrip
Every roadtester eagerly awaits a particular model to drive among the scores that pass through their hands annually, and in my case it’s the Suzuki S-Cross. It looks like so many other SUV models but the reality is this comes from a company with a pedigree dating back almost 100 years and is still family owned, and has a remarkable reputation in … [Read more...]
Sunday drive: Volkswagen Golf SE Nav 1.5-litre
Despite Volkswagen Group’s tarnished reputation due to the emissions scandal it appears there has been limited damage to their sales – especially the refreshed 7.5 generation Golf range of three and five door Hatchbacks and Estates, says David Miles. The face-lifted Golfs arrived in UK showrooms in April and have been selling like hot cakes in a … [Read more...]
New Year roadtest: Ferrari 488GTB coupe
The Ferrari 488GTB is the baby in the family which can trace its DNA to 1975 when its forerunner replaced the charismatic Dino, and a lot has happened over four decades, says Robin Roberts. The engine is taken from the California and tuned for the 488GTB so it’s a good and gutsy pedigree with twin-turbos to give it strong punch from … [Read more...]
Sunday drive: Audi RS3 saloon
As I sat in yet another stationary long line of traffic I wondered just how useful or practical was the 174mph Audi RS 3 Saloon. Official figures recently released by the Department of Transport show UK drivers faced on average a delay of 46-seconds for every mile they travelled on A-roads. With a record number of 37.3-million vehicles on … [Read more...]
Christmas roadtest: Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe
The ultimate Christmas present for any enthusiastic British driver must see an Aston Martin on a wish-list, or better still, in their drive, writes Robin Roberts. And it couldn’t come at a better time with the DB11 redefining their new direction and business plan to build on established values with modern ideas. Part of the “second century” plan will … [Read more...]
Funky and glitzy VW T-Roc arrives
Yet another new range of compact SUVs are arriving now in the UK, this time it’s the VW T-Roc entering their 190 dealership this week. Television advertising with the T-Roc’s ‘Bam the Ram’ and advertising strapline ‘Born Confident’ launches on Boxing Day. It should make you smile in a sheepish sort of way. The T-Roc sees Volkswagen enter a new market … [Read more...]
Sunday drive: Renault Captur Dynamique S Nav TCe 90
First shown as a concept compact SUV vehicle in 2011 the Renault Captur came to market in 2013 and has undergone a continuous evolution since then keeping it at the top of the evermore competitive compact SUV segment. In 2015 and 2016 it was Europe’s best-selling B-segment SUV reaching 215,679 sales last year and although the final figures for … [Read more...]
Weekend roadtest: Kia Sportage KX5 2.0 CRDi Auto
We all know it’s the little things which really can make a difference and Kia has taken this fact to heart in the Sportage. The fourth-generation of their best-selling model had a lot to live up to, but listening to owners’ opinions and to some extent media reports Kia has come up with another winner and a very tough model for its rivals to … [Read more...]
