Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 48V iMT 2020 review

What is it?

A ground-breaking world first, that's   what. Well, sort of: the Kia Ceed is welcoming mild-hybrid technology as part of a pre-facelift tech update due in the UK in late 2020, and the South Korean manufacturer claims this is the first time a 48V mild-hybrid system will be used alongside an electronic clutch.

The theory... ( подробнее )

BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe 2020 UK review

What is it?

Viewed in an entirely objective sense, quite an appealing prospect. The M8 Competition Gran Coup? is the latest four-door that aims to take the excitement and driver focus of a large, premium sports car and combine it with real everyday usability.  

Aimed smack bang at Porsche’s Panamera and the literally named   Mercedes-AMG... ( подробнее )

Eagle Lightweight GT 2020 UK review

What is it?

Ask me to configure a car to get down my favourite road and it would go something like this.

It would need to be light, of course, and quite but not overwhelmingly powerful. I’d like to find the engine ahead of me and the driven wheels behind. That engine should have more than four cylinders and power the rear wheels... ( подробнее )

Bugatti Divo 2020 review

What is it?

Unveiled in 2018 and sold out almost immediately, the limited-edition Bugatti Divo is an evolution of the Chiron developed with a focus on handling, not high-end speed.

Stylists resisted the urge to create a pastiche of a 90-year old race like the Type 35. It doesn’t look like the Chiron, either, though its proportions... ( подробнее )

Renault Megane Sport Tourer E-TECH 2020 review

What is it?

There’s more to this facelifted fourth-generation Renault Megane Sport Tourer than a lightly revamped cabin and a few modest exterior styling tweaks.  

The big news here is that the estate version of Renault’s accomplished C-segment model is now available as a plug-in hybrid, with all the tax-friendly status and feel-good... ( подробнее )

Fiat 500 2021 review

What is it?

This new Fiat 500 looks fantastic, doesn’t it? It’s only the third ground-up 500 created by Fiat in 63 years, and the design team behind it deserve as hearty a pat on the back as the team behind its 1957 and 2007 predecessors.

Bellissimo, one might even say. Job done, others might, given how looks are the chief reason... ( подробнее )

Renault Captur E-Tech plug-in hybrid 2020 UK review

What is it?

Renault’s electrification programme is gathering a head of steam. On the passenger car front, the all-electric Zoe supermini has been the competent and really quite pretty face of this campaign for the past decade or so; while the Kangoo ZE went on to become the best-selling commercial EV in Europe by the end of 2019. The dinky... ( подробнее )

Audi A5 Coupe 40 TFSI 2020 UK review

What is it?

The second-generation of Audi’s executive coup? has been given a facelift for 2020, although you might be hard-pressed to tell at a quick glance. The Ingolstadt firm’s exterior designers have been sparing in their efforts, with only the likes of a slightly restyled grille differentiating the updated version from its predecessor.

Given... ( подробнее )
