Those are all competitive numbers, but if you need even more capacity, you’ll be better off with either an Octavia Estate or Golf Estate in 2.0 TDI 150 DSG auto form, because both can lug around a 1,600kg trailer or caravan. The Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer has a disappointing four-star Euro NCAP rating; the brand needs to do more to impress ownersVauxhall has equipped all Astra Sports Tourer models with lane departure warning and lane-keep assist, speed sign recognition, a driver drowsiness alert, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous emergency braking (AEB). Mid-range GS trim along with a more advanced collision alert…

All of the cars on test featured a Bang & Olufsen sound system, which sounded great. True audiophiles will note that ultra high-end systems available in rivals do have a little more grunt, but these are minimal differences and often cost a whole bunch more as a standalone optional extra.  There’s huge amounts of room in the boot, but the rear seats aren’t quite as cavernous as some rivalsThis is an Avant, so you’d think the boot means everything, but this isn’t quite the case with the new A6. Audi has confessed that the rise of SUVs means that families…

VerdictThe big blue Alfa is not without its faults, but the more time I spend with it, and the more I hone its set-up by playing with the drive modes and tyre pressures, the deeper my affection for it grows. I can’t get enough of it. Mileage: 13,895 Efficiency: 22.1mpg Advertisement – Article continues belowTyre pressures. In Formula One they mean everything, but for mere road cars, they don’t matter that much, do they? It depends. In an average family runabout, or a big heavy SUV, you’d be hard pushed to tell the difference between 30 and 40psi. But in a…

While some EVs use an electronic torque-vectoring system, which brakes the inside wheel to improve agility, the Polestar uses a pair of physical clutches to distribute torque from one side of the axle to the other. This set-up accelerates the outer wheel to give a sense of the rear wheels pushing through corners, which feels more akin to a traditional internal combustion car. It’s also able to disconnect the rear drive of dual-motor models when cruising, reducing energy usage.

The entry-level Techno gets a full suite of electronic safety systems, and you can easily pick and choose which of these systems you want working in the background as you drive via the My Perso button. The Megane E-Tech comes with a three-year/100,000-mile manufacturer’s warranty, with the electric motor getting a separate four-year/100,000-mile warranty. In comparison, the Skoda Elroq is covered by a three-year/60,000-mile package, but Hyundai, Kia and MG have longer terms for their warranty coverage. As with many EVs, the Renault’s battery has its own eight-year/100,000-mile warranty. Renault’s EasyLife service plan lets buyers spread the cost of scheduled…

The bigger issue is that the lines are projected only a car length or so ahead, and tend to draw your attention when you are likely trying to look as far ahead as possible. In comparison, we can’t fault the automatic main beam system that allows you to keep the lights on full without dazzling oncoming traffic.

VerdictWe can’t make any meaningful conclusions about the Denza Z9GT at this stage due to our incredibly short time behind the wheel and there being a lot of unknowns. However we hope its effortless, wafting sensation isn’t lost by the engineers’ efforts to mimic the driving experience of established German cars, as we think this would be a much better selling point than the somewhat interesting, but rather pointless, manoeuvring capabilities or the design.

It’s a punch that can be felt in any gear, and any revs, too. Once the peak torque arrives around 2,500rpm – continuing all the way though to 5,000rpm – the engine delivers a relentless surge. Even compared to the DBS Superleggera, hardly a slouch itself, the Vanquish is on another level. The throttle isn’t quite as crisp as the Ferrari, but real world responses are hard to separate. That the Aston’s engine sings more sweetly than the naturally-aspirated Ferrari is perhaps the most impressive thing of all. While the noise is richer here than in its Italian rival, the…

Atlanta’s highways are bustling with trucks delivering goods daily, but unfortunately, accidents involving these heavy vehicles can have devastating consequences.

They’re more complex, more aggressive, and often involve teams of corporate attorneys.

The balance is nose-heavy and this gives it a rather exploitable feel in the bends, just like the petrol-powered Puma and Fiesta before. There’s plenty of front-end grip to shrug off speed and while there’s a bit more roll than we’d like, it’s all manageable and well communicated. It’s no hot or even warm crossover, but the Gen-E retains a decent level of fun to its driving dynamics – certainly more than most of its rivals at least.  On the more sensible side, the brake regeneration is well engineered, with a balance of immediacy and smoothness, although you have to…
