Wading depth of 900mm, towing up to 3,500kg and packing a generous 339bhp with 740Nm torque, the insane off-road capabilities make this Range Rover the SAS of cars, says Beth Keenan. Even the three distinct lines on the exterior are like its own personal ‘Cap Badge’. So what makes the Range Rover so special? Well, since the first model was … [Read more...]
Roadtests
Sunday drive: New Kia Cee’d hatchback
A sprinkling of updates inside, outside and under the bonnet of the Kia Cee’d family sized five door Hatchbacks, Sportwagon estates and Pro-Cee’d three door hatchbacks has given the models a mid-life refresh. Also introduced are more fuel efficient engines and a GT-Line sportier looking spec level option. The Cee’d family has to remain … [Read more...]
Weekend roadtest: Fiat 500 Lounge Twin Air
If you think a car has a personality, then the Fiat 500 Lounge TwinAir 105hp is a small, excitable child. The phrase “terrible twos” comes to mind because a child is full of unrestrained energy and cheek at that age but in the case of the Fiat 500 Lounge with boosted 105hp engine it really means the car is terribly good at its job. TwinAir 105hp has … [Read more...]
Sunday drive: Vauxhall Astra 1.4 5dr
When the British built Vauxhall Astra five door Hatchback was introduced to the media last September it soon became obvious to us that it was probably the most important car for most people to be launched in 2015. And that became reality because it has just been voted 2016 European Car of the Year and Family Hatchback of the Year in the UK Car of the Year … [Read more...]
Weekend roadtest: Audi TT 2.0 TFSI quattro
Unlike its predecessor, the Mk 3 Audi TT is a much more masculine car, writes Beth Keenan. With its aggressive and angular shape it is a world away from the curvy ‘hairdresser’ car first introduced in 1998. Available as a hardtop coupé or soft-top roadster, buyers have a choice of front-wheel or ‘quattro’ four-wheel drive; 6 speed manual or automatic … [Read more...]
New chapter begins with Vauxhall Adam Energised
In the beginning, an entry-level car meant a cheap and frequently nasty car, but it’s not the case with Adam. Vauxhall’s sleek and slick three-door Adam Energised is aimed squarely at younger buyers and it has a big appeal for a small car. Competitively priced and with the usual infotainment system you’d expect in a much more … [Read more...]
Sunday drive: BMW 7 Series limousine
If you want to make an impression attending church today or a high powered meeting this week, there are few rivals to the BMW 7 Series limousine I have been testing, says David Miles. Unless you are a high ranking government minister, royalty, a high flying business executive or a chauffeur, chances are you will not travel in, let alone drive, the new … [Read more...]
Weekend roadtest: Suzuki Swift 4×4 Dual Jet
Suzuki UK has always punched above its weight and size. The range is not huge but it has a presence in the most popular sectors and it is highly competitive on price and specification. The latest Suzuki Swift 1.2 SZ4 with all-wheel-drive is a case in point, blending five-door practicality with very low running costs thanks to the latest dual-jet … [Read more...]
Sunday drive: New Mini Clubman
Back in 2007 the BMW-owned MINI range was expanded with their Clubman estate, their interpretation of the former Austin and Morris Mini Traveller estates. The main drawback of the BMW’s version of their first MINI Clubman, especially for UK customers, was the fact that it was cramped for rear passenger space, had little boot room and unbelievably it had … [Read more...]
Weekend roadtest: Renault Kadjar Signature Nav
As one of the oldest car-makers, Renault has fully embraced the latest popular cross-over sector with its Kadjar SUV. It was among the first to put a modern MPV on the market with the Scenic and dallied with the slightly off-the-pavement Avantime and slow selling Koleos, but it is the Kadjar which now carries the Renault name into family … [Read more...]
