Model shown is based on DS 7 Performance Line E-TENSE 4x4 360 with optional metallic paint and does not reflect UK specification. The fuel
consumption or electric range achieved, and CO₂ produced, in real world conditions will depend upon a number of factors including, but not limited to: the accessories fitted (pre
and post registration); the starting charge of the battery (PHEV only); variations in weather; driving styles and vehicle load. The plug-in hybrid range requires mains electricity
for charging. The WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) is used to measure fuel consumption, electric range and CO₂ figures. Figures shown are for
comparison purposes and should only be compared to the fuel consumption, electric range and CO₂ values of other cars tested to the same technical standard. The figures
displayed for the plug-in hybrid range were obtained using a combination of battery power and fuel. Information correct at time of going to print. Images shown for illustration

RENAULT is pushing ahead with plans
for an electric rebirth of its iconic 5 and
4 models, but the company isn’t about to
forget its regular supermini, the Clio. Auto
Express can reveal that work has started
on a new generation of the popular model,
complete with petrol-based powertrains.
The supermini market has been shaken

latest SUVs committed to introduce only pure-electric
vehicles from 2030 onwards.
However, speaking exclusively to Auto
Express at the recent Munich Motor Show,
the company’s Chief Technology Officer,
Gilles Le Borgne, stated firmly that in
the meantime, the Clio has a future beyond
its current generation and will be sold
alongside the reborn 5 and 4.
“We are working, as we speak, on the
next generation of Clio,” Le Borgne said.
“And that car will have some ICE
engines because it will be on
sale before 2030.”
Renault is likely to build on
the current Clio’s technical

which is set for a reveal in 2026.

to get upgraded materials, as well as a
switch to the same Android Automotive-
based infotainment system that is used
on the Megane and Scenic.
The next Clio is likely to remain
hybrid only in the UK, although it may be
available with a choice of power outputs.
It’s also conceivable that at some point
in the next Clio’s life the hybrid could be
joined by an all-electric version that
offers greater practicality than the
3.7 metre-long reborn R5.
Le Borgne stopped short of confirming
that the Clio could adopt this twin-track
approach on powertrains, but he
acknowledged that the car’s CMF-B platform
and the CMF-BEV architecture used by
the 5 are linked closely enough to make
such a move technically feasible.
“You can have the same top hat, with
BEV underneath or ICE underneath,” he
said. “The general architecture, with the
R5 and R4, is dedicated pure electric, but
the hard points, from an industrial design
point of view, can be cut to make a
combustion-engined car, too.”
Renault has also gone through a huge
cost-cutting programme to make CMF-BEV
more financially viable; at least some of
these modifications are expected to
be fed back across to CMF-B to help
boost the profitability of ICE variants.
The powertrains offered on the next
Clio could well be developed by a new
company formed by Renault and
Chinese giant Geely. The two
firms’ engine divisions have
combined to incorporate
17 existing factories, five
development facilities
and more than 19,000
staff. The new company
will be tasked with
producing even more
efficient petrol-hybrid
systems, potentially for
sale beyond the Renault-
Nissan-Mitsubishi
Alliance. Renault Group
CEO Luca de Meo
believes that splitting the
division off makes it more
answerable to market
forces on cost, as well
as opening up greater
economies of scale.

● Swedish SUV is shaping up to
be comfy, quick and composed
EXCLUSIVE
FIRST RIDE
@rsp_ingram

BIG electric SUVs aren’t the cash cows
people think they are. These halo
products draw in the crowds, but it’s the
more affordable cars that make the money.
So while Volvo’s hotly anticipated EX90
may demonstrate everything the brand is
capable of, it’s the entry-level EX30 that’ll
sell in bigger numbers. That’s especially
true given that the mini-Volvo’s sub-£34,000
starting price undercuts not only its electric
rivals, but plenty of petrol SUVs with
significantly higher whole-life costs, too.
First customer cars aren’t due until
February, but to see if the small EV will be
worth the wait, we’ve ridden shotgun in a
dual-motor EX30 on a variety of roads at
Volvo’s Hallered Proving Ground in Sweden.
Sitting alongside Egbert Bakker, technical
lead for vehicle dynamics, we’re first taken
to an area that the team refers to as the
‘English Road’ – a lumpy section of broken
tarmac designed to mimic the unique
surfaces found on our side of the Channel. ON THE

“This isn’t a sports car,” Bakker tells us. damping
Next up is the so-called ‘Florida’ section
– featuring larger undulations as well as
smaller ripples and potholes. Bakker uses it
to demonstrate how quickly the EX30 resets
itself after cresting a ramp, using the SUV’s
extra ride height to absorb any unwanted
longitudinal movement. It certainly appears
tied down from the passenger seat.
To this point, we’ve only really been given
a sense of the new EX30 from a comfort and

refinement perspective. Hushed all the way
up to 70mph, this EX30 won’t be confined
to city streets; even the base version has a
212-mile range, while big-battery models
have covered 298 miles in official tests.
Bakker takes us to the handling circuit
next, where we can up the pace and get a
feel for how the car moves about under
load. “The EX30 is smaller and lighter [than
an EX90]. But you still get that Volvo feeling,”
he tells us. “To drive, a Volvo should be
predictable, controllable and comfortable.”
In long sweeping bends, the wide-section
Goodyear tyres show strong grip. Body lean
is noticeable but not intrusive, with Bakker
trimming the car’s line mid-corner with zero
fuss. Acceleration in our Twin Performance
test car catches us unawares at times; it isn’t
as gut-wrenching as in a Tesla Model Y, but we
prefer the Volvo’s more linear power delivery.
Elsewhere, EX30 product lead Joakim
Hermansson insists the minimalist cabin
layout is easy to get used to. “It felt unusual
at first, but within 500 metres it was normal,”
he says. There is no conventional instrument
cluster, with the speed readout above the
media controls on the central screen.
Fit and finish is a match for cars at this
price, even in this prototype. The recycled
finishes for the dash, seats and mats will give
buyers a clean conscience and feel premium,
even when trading down from an XC60.
Verdict
THE price is very much right with this new
EX30. It’ll win favour on cost alone, although
from our short spell in the passenger seat
it seems there is lots more to like. Quiet,
quick, comfortable and composed, Volvo’s
newcomer has the ingredients to succeed.

Electric BMW M3 to pionee

EXCLUSIVE IMAGE
New M car will use Neue Klasse platform
and will showcase bespoke electronics

Avarvarii

Sean Carson
sean_carson@autovia.co.uk
BMW development boss Frank Weber
has confirmed that the firm’s next
M3-sized performance saloon – and
potentially an estate – will go all electric.
It will be based on the firm’s Neue Klasse
platform, with the new electric M car set to
arrive as early as 2027, “not too far away
from the initial launch of the Neue Klasse
as a product line”, according to Weber.
Speaking at the launch of the new 5 Series
and i5 electric saloon, and musing on
whether BMW needs a halo model once a
production saloon car based on the Neue
Klasse platform goes on sale from 2025,
Weber confirmed: “The next M3 will be fully
battery electric – and will have ‘the heart of
joy’ [referring to a new ECU package].
“This ECU control unit was designed for
four independently operating electric motors
of up to one megawatt [1,341bhp] and
therefore yes, it needs a lighthouse project.”
BMW’s new ‘heart of joy’ ECU combines
controllers for the stability control system,
powertrain/battery and chassis software
into one hardware unit. It’s part of the
biggest investment in BMW’s history in
terms of the Neue Klasse platform, and will
unlock new dynamic capabilities, according
to M division boss Frank van Meel.
“We call it ‘hand of god’, like we had on
the M5 with the M xDrive system,” he said
when referring to the new ECU tech.
“In the future, when you talk about four
electric motors, for instance, you need the
hand of god to be even stronger. Then you
don’t just need the lateral and longitudinal
dynamics from a chassis point of view [as
with the M xDrive system], but also the
engine. It has to be one centralised logic
because on track you want to decelerate
at up to 1G or more, but at the same time
you want to recuperate and have the right
stability,” van Meel added.
“It doesn’t matter if I do ABS braking
or brake with the motors, because the
motors are faster than the hydraulics
anyway, but it is a prerequisite for
going into a new era with M and electric
high-performance vehicles. It means
you can drive this car in a way you
never have before.”
While van Meel outlined that the platform
has up to one megawatt of installed power
at its disposal, it’s unlikely an M3 will go
this high. In fact, he believes that it’s not all
about power, and that vehicle dynamics will
define how electric M cars drive in the future,
differentiating BMW’s products from its
rivals. “We don’t need a megawatt of power,
but we are installing this because we don’t

...but not before M4 CS signs
off petrol power in style
BEFORE its cars go all-electric (left),
BMW M division boss Frank van Meel
has confirmed that the brand is
working on a new M4 CS.
This model will bridge the gap
between the M4 Competition and the
hardcore M4 CSL, and should follow the
recipe of its saloon sibling, the M3 CS.
This means we can expect a 3.0-litre
turbocharged straight-six engine with
an output increased to 542bhp and
650Nm of torque. In the M xDrive-
equipped all-wheel-drive M3 CS this is
enough for a 3.4-second 0-62mph time,
so expect a similar result for the M4 CS.
It won’t just be straight-line speed
where the M4 will see a boost in CS
spec. The car’s handling and cornering
performance should also receive
upgrades in the form of a more aggressive
camber set-up, bespoke settings for the
dampers and springs, increased body
rigidity and track-focused tyres, all

Nissan 350Z
V6 sports car brought Z badge back in style
Matt Robinson
THE turn of the century was not a good time for
Nissan. Narrowly avoiding bankruptcy, it was the least
of the Japanese firm’s worries that it was lacking
a Z-branded sports car for the first time since the
introduction of the 240Z in 1969.
While 1999’s retro-styled 240Z concept, powered by
a 240SX-borrowed inline-four, kept the dream alive, it
wasn’t until 2001 that plans for an all-new Z were finally
put in motion. With the added financial stability of the
formation of the Renault-Nissan alliance, the Z Concept
was revealed at that year’s Detroit Auto Show, with a
more future-gazing aesthetic than its 1999 predecessor.
It wasn’t anything like its nearest production ancestor –
the wedge-shaped, rather chunky 300ZX – either.
The look came from Nissan’s California design house,
whose take on the all-new Z won an internal design
contest. The production version that emerged a year later
was barely altered, although it did have a name change.
Keeping with Z-car tradition, it was christened according
to its engine displacement, becoming the 350Z.
Initial reviews, including one from Auto Express, were
glowing. Nissan had a new and exciting car in its line-up,
but at first, it wasn’t thought that the 350Z would make it
to Britain. Eventually it did (and at a great-value price of
around £24,000), which is how, a couple of decades
on, we find ourselves behind the wheel of a 2005
UK-registered Daytona Blue Pearl Metallic example.
Sliding behind the wheel, we’re presented with a
small instrument binnacle that moves with the steering
column as it’s adjusted. There’s a trio of gauges topping
the central stack of the dashboard – a multi-function
digital display, plus oil pressure and battery voltage
meters – each angled towards the driver. Just below
these is a surprisingly large storage compartment.
Getting comfortable is easy: the two seats offer an
impressive range of adjustability. In a modern context,

the cabin seems a little drab,
and perhaps a little cheap in
places, but this was par for
the course back then.
The 3.5-litre, naturally
aspirated V6 fires up quietly
and with little fanfare,
settling to a smooth idle.
First gear is engaged with a
dip of the heavy clutch pedal,
giving a hint of what the driving
experience of this car is all
about: heft. Everything feels butch,
particularly the gearchange, with each
ratio requiring two distinct and heavy
movements from the stubby lever to engage. The shift
quality is a little rubbery, but the throw is nice and short.
Nissan’s V6 is a lazy one. It’s not especially quick to rev,
and there is a little bit of rev hang when changing gear. It
makes a good noise, though, and propels the 350Z forward
with enthusiasm, if not rapid pace. Peak power comes in at
6,400rpm, 200rpm before the red line, while the full torque
of 363Nm is felt from 4,800rpm and up.
The 276bhp output is modest enough not to trouble
the rear wheels, making the 350Z unintimidating to drive
quickly. Further helping rear-end tidiness, all UK cars came
with a standard-fit limited-slip differential. There’s a
reasonably willing front end, meanwhile, although placing
it where you want provides a bit of a workout. That’s
because the steering matches the general theme of this

car: it’s heavy, but reasonably natural feeling.
There’s more body roll than you’d experience
in a modern performance model, but nothing
excessive. It’s generally a comfortable car you
could look to do long distances in, provided
you pack light. The boot has a chunky chassis
brace running through it, making for an
awkward space that offers a mere 235
litres of volume. You do at least get some
instructions on how to stow two golf bags,
though, and there is a potentially handy
storage drawer behind the seats.
But we’ll let the limited practicality slide
since this was never supposed to be a GT car.
It’s a sports car first and foremost, and it nails
that brief very well, if not quite as successfully
as the 968-generation Porsche Boxster we
tested in an Icon Drive a few months back.
It drives just like a sports car should, and
has the right kind of kerb appeal, too. The
350Z has aged brilliantly, thanks to its neat
proportions and decidedly unfussy lines. The
370Z which replaced it in 2008 is handsome
in its own way, but is a busier-looking thing.
This successor wasn’t entirely new, though.
It retained the 350Z’s platform and its 3.7-litre
V6 was an evolution of the 3.5 engine. Nissan
changed plenty, however, with the newer car

I’ve got one!
THE 2005 350Z you see here is run by Auto
Express’s senior test editor Dean Gibson. His
dad bought it and owned it from new, but a
life-changing operation a few years ago
means he’s unlikely to drive the car again,
which led to Dean becoming its custodian.
The only non-standard element is the
wheels. Dean’s father wasn’t a fan of the
optional Rays wheels that were part of the
GT pack, so he asked the dealer to replace
them with the stock rims, which were later
refurbished in Audi gunmetal grey.
“It’s likely one of the lowest-mileage
350Zs in the country,” Dean says, because
there are only 18,000 miles on the clock.
“The 350Z was a landmark car that
deserves as much recognition as the 240Z
that it emulated or any GT-R,” Dean adds.
“I’m proud to be looking after such a sweet
example – not just to maintain Nissan’s
sports-car history, but also for my dad.”

It stuck around for a lot longer, too,

because they’ve been used for the 370Z’s

sadly, won’t be making it to the UK via official

matter. And that merely makes driving this

Perhaps most impressively of all, the Renault
Austral boasts up to 683 miles^ of range without
the need to recharge the battery or refuel. Instead,
charging takes place when you decelerate
and brake.
Advanced technology that helps make for a
safer drive
A 12-inch openR multimedia screen, along with a
12.3-inch driver display and a 9.3-inch head-up
display, offers an impressive digital space and a
world of control and information.
With Google built-in*, you have Google Maps,
Google Play and Google Assistant which makes it
easy to use your voice to control car functions like
climate control, driving mode or heated seats. You
can also use it to find locations, reply to messages
and make calls. And with Google Play, you can
download more than 50 apps.** Google built-in*
will even let you interact with smart home devices,
right from your car. Connected driving has never
been so easy – and so full of possibility.
Moreover, the all new Renault Austral offers
up to 30 advanced driver-assistance systems^^,
including a head-up display, matrix-LED adaptive
vision, active driving assist, adaptive cruise
control***, lane-centring assist and many more,
helping give you peace of mind behind the wheel
whenever and wherever you drive.
And if it’s entertainment you’re after, the new
Renault Austral’s Harman Kardon audio system****
can make even the most arduous journey a
pleasure, thanks to its 485w of power and 12
speakers including a subwoofer.
Agility on every corner
The new Renault Austral’s 4Control Advanced****
chassis system applies the latest thinking of
Renault’s engineers to help make your driving
more comfortable and enjoyable – wherever
you may be. With its innovative ability to guide
the rear wheels in addition to the front wheels,
Renault has delivered a more manoeuvrable and
agile family SUV.
Below 30mph, the rear wheels steer slightly
in the opposite direction to which the car is
turning, reducing the overall turning circle to
just 10.1m and helping to navigate narrow city
streets effortlessly. Above 30mph, the rear
wheels turn marginally in the same direction as
the driver has steered, offering increased stability
and cornering ability.
The 4Control Advanced system is incorporated
into the new Austral’s Multi-Sense driver mode
set-up, which offers Comfort, eco, Sport and a
personal mode. These control various functions
of the car, such as steering firmness, engine
response and even the interior lighting
ambience, adjusting the character of the car
to suit your mood, situation and driving style.
The personal mode allows the driver to define
their own settings according to personal taste.
A flair for design
With its distinctive design, combining French
flair and a powerful presence, the all new Renault
Austral makes a distinct impression. Sharply
styled headlights, a powerfully sculpted bonnet
and haunches over the wheels achieve a sporty
aesthetic. Choose from three trim lines: techno,
techno esprit Alpine and iconic esprit Alpine,
the latter featuring esprit Alpine badging, a front
bumper with an F1 blade, 20-inch daytona alloy

Jeep Avenger
FIRST UK DRIVE Electric SUV opens a new chapter for the US firm
Dean Gibson
Dean_Gibson@autovia.co.uk
@DeanGbsn
IT’S not far off the mark to say that the
Jeep Avenger is a significant model for
the US firm. While the company is known
for its off-road exploits, the Avenger is
tasked with changing perceptions of the
brand as an electric car maker.
If this was to be achieved by its looks
alone, then the Avenger would be on to
a winner. This is the first Jeep to use all-
Stellantis running gear, courtesy of the
eCMP platform that’s shared with cars
such as the Peugeot e-2008 and Vauxhall
Mokka Electric, but it’s been draped in a
body that’s unmistakably Jeep.
The Avenger features short overhangs
front and rear, chunky wheelarches and boxy
lines that pay homage to Jeep’s heritage,
while 200mm of ground clearance mean it
should be able to cope with some off-road
action: while the Avenger is only front-wheel
drive at launch, it comes with off-road drive
22 20 September 2023
modes and hill-descent control, and a four-
wheel drive 4xe is due to arrive in 2024.
One area where the Avenger differs
from other eCMP models is in terms of
its size. At 4,084mm, it’s nearly 220mm
shorter than an e-2008, and compares more
favourably with conventional superminis
than rival small SUVs. Still, the car’s
packaging means that there’s good space
up front, while only tall passengers will
be asking for more legroom in the back.
Boot space is the same as you’ll find
in a VW Golf, at 380 litres.
The cabin layout is pretty funky, too.
There are hard plastics, but these have
been used in the Avenger’s favour, and
give it a rugged feel that’s becoming of
Jeep’s off-road heritage. Storage is
good, while the flip-top lid for the central
storage bin is a neat addition. More
disappointing is some of the Stellantis-
sourced switchgear that’s used in places,
such as the window switches and column
stalks. There’s nothing wrong with the
24 MASERATI COUPE
GranTurismo returns
with a new V6 twin-
turbo powerplant
way they work, it would just be nice to have
some bespoke controls instead.
Under the skin, the Avenger uses the
latest 54kWh battery that Stellantis is rolling
out across many of its small EVs. It’s good
for a range of 249 miles in the Avenger, and
is connected to a 154bhp electric motor.
On the move, the Jeep Avenger is a decent
performer. The electric motor responds well,
with enough low-speed acceleration to
sprint away briskly from the lights, although
performance does tail off the faster you go.
If you need sharper responses, then Sport
mode offers maximum power, but it
introduces a snappy throttle that’s harder
to modulate. Sport mode also trims around
11 miles off the car’s range.
The tall ride height gives a good view out,
and the suspension has been set up to limit

the amount of pitch and roll the Avenger
exhibits. However, this doesn’t have a
negative impact on the ride. There’s a little
bit of fidget at low speeds, but things
smooth out the faster you go, and overall the
Avenger is pretty comfortable. A kerbweight
of 1.5 tonnes means this electric SUV is
relatively light, so it offers pretty nimble
handling. Combine this with its compact
dimensions, and an exterior that’s been
designed to take knocks and bumps in its
stride, and the Avenger makes a strong case
for itself as an urban runabout.
The top-spec Summit model driven here
comes with plenty of kit, but has a price tag
nudging £40k before options. That’s similar
to the more spacious Peugeot e-2008, but
less than you’ll pay for small premium EVs
from the likes of Audi, Mercedes or Lexus.

Maserati GranTurismo
FIRST DRIVE Italian brand’s all-new GT sacrifices two cylinders, but not its soul

Jordan Katsianis
Jordan_Katsianis@autovia.co.uk
@JordanKatsianis
MASERATI GTs are synonymous with
the sound of a throbbing V8, so your
first reaction may be that there’s something
uncomfortable about hearing the grumble
of a V6 in this latest GranTurismo.
It’s perhaps the most major change in a
car that, despite its familiar looks, is all new.
The chassis is wider and longer than the old
GT’s, yet it’s barely any heavier at 1,795kg.
Some may find the design a little less
sophisticated than before, but it is certainly
more aggressive, with carbon-fibre highlights
and staggered 20 and 21-inch wheels.
Inside, Maserati has used the lush and
aromatic leather you’d expect of an Italian
GT, applied to a far more modern design.
Dominating the dash are two touchscreens
on a single angled panel familiar from other
modern Maseratis. Overall the main digital
interface works well, with a Porsche-like
menu structure and quick connection to
smartphone-mirroring software. The lower
screen mainly controls the ventilation and
heating, but can also set other elements,
such as the seating position and interior
lighting. Between the screens is a row of
four buttons, with which you select the gear.
Press the slightly too-small starter button
on the steering wheel and you can hear that
Maserati has tried to channel pomp and
www.autoexpress.co.uk
circumstance into the engine. It starts with
a quick flare of revs through the valved
exhausts, before quickly settling into a
surprisingly raucous idle that vibrates the
interior far more than you might expect.
After a click of the ‘D’ button to select
drive, though, very little is disappointing
about the new GranTurismo. As soon as you
release the brake, you can feel how much
energy is coursing through the powertrain.
At low speeds, the eight-speed automatic is
quick-witted and well calibrated, effortlessly
slipping between ratios and relying on the
V6’s generous torque in a way that it never
could with the old naturally aspirated V8.
Twist the left-hand dial on the steering
wheel and you can track through the driver
modes, which include the default ‘GT’, plus
‘Comfort’, ‘Sport’ and ‘Corsa’.
In both GT and Comfort modes, the ride
is brilliant, only suffering slightly over sharp
intrusions where the relatively low-profile
front tyres can struggle to contain the
transferred energy. At higher speeds, the
standard air suspension has a wonderful
flow with the road, feeling superbly damped
with great control of both lateral and
vertical movements. It does this without
any of the float or shuddering that’s often
associated with air-sprung systems, and
creates a genuine connection to the road.
The steering has a quick ratio and is a
little light on feel, but in combination with
Maserati GranTurismo
PERFORMANCE The ‘Nettuno’ Essentials
V6 may not sound as dramatic as
the old V8, but its performance
is much more impressive
the fluid suspension, the set-up manages to
create a GT that feels unusually light on its
feet, with the package backed up by serious
straight-line performance and impressive
grip. In fact, dig deeper into the numbers
and this impression of lightness is backed
up by the actual kerbweight. Remember,
we’re in a world where most grand tourers
crack the two-tonne mark, a figure the new
GranTurismo easily dips below.
Click the Maserati over to Sport or Corsa
mode and everything takes an appreciable
step up in response, too. The engine is now
working to its full potential.
With 542bhp, there’s certainly no
shortage of performance. The new car is
much faster at every point than the previous
GT, hitting 62mph in 3.5 seconds, which is
faster even than the 671bhp Aston Martin
DB12. And that’s when any perceived lack
of theatre associated with the V6 melts
away, because this is a superb engine.
Its appeal is in large part due to successful
integration with the car’s very well calibrated
all-wheel drive system. Compared with the
Bentley Continental GT, it feels hundreds of
kilograms lighter (which, of course, it is).
Despite its agility, the Maserati can still
settle down to become a quite brilliant long-
legged cruiser. At high speed it’s quiet, easy
to see out of and supremely comfortable,
which all adds up to create a superb high-
performance GT. This genuinely is a very

impressive car, and one that has a truly
distinctive feel on the road.
At £160,000, it’s not cheap, but a Bentley

costs just as much. We needn’t have worried
about the GT and its V6 engine, because it’s
lighter in body and soul, and feels twice as
alive. Next year will bring the all-electric
Folgore and convertible versions, but it’s
wonderful to know Maserati has the regular
petrol coupé so right straight off the bat.
Verdict
IT might look similar to the previous
model, but Maserati’s new GranTurismo
is streets ahead in every measurable
way. The new coupé has a superb ride
and handling balance, along with an
impressive turn of speed. But with
the sacrifice of two cylinders for the
sake of a couple of turbochargers,
some buyers may feel there has been
a slight dampening of its appeal.

WHILE the sixth-generation Honda CR-V

the Japanese firm has sensibly decided to
retain a full-hybrid option. We were a little
underwhelmed by the PHEV when we drove
it in Issue 1,793, so is this model any better?
It’s certainly priced like a premium

£45,895 and our car in Advance trim kicks

than the PHEV model, though.
At least the CR-V is pretty well equipped.

All of the frequently used functions

the wheelbase has been extended by

Mild-hybrid version builds on
C5 Aircross’s focus on comfort,
making it a refined cruiser
CitroenC5Aircross
FIRST DRIVE Mild-hybrid model promises fuel economy savings
John McIlroy
John_McIlroy@autovia.co.uk
@johnmcilroy
YOU certainly can’t accuse Citroen
of forgetting its family SUV, the C5
Aircross. The French company facelifted
the model only last year, but now there’s
a fresh mild-hybrid edition.
Called the C5 Aircross Hybrid 136, the
latest variant features a new version of
Stellantis’s 1.2-litre three-cylinder PureTech
petrol engine, producing 134bhp and
230Nm of torque. This unit is paired with a
48V mild-hybrid electric motor that adds up
to 12bhp and 55Nm. It’s integrated into an
all-new six-speed dual-clutch gearbox that’s
been designed to work with hybrid systems.
Citroen claims users could save as much
as 15 per cent in fuel consumption over a
regular PureTech 130 auto, and the official
combined economy figure is up to 53mpg,
with 129g/km of CO2, compared with the
non-hybrid model’s 148g/km.
The firm has thrown the new C5 Aircross
properly into the mix with its stablemates
on list price. You’ll pay a premium of around
£1,200 over a regular
eight-speed auto
PureTech 130, and around half that amount
more than for an automatic BlueHDi diesel.
On the road, the Hybrid 136 is probably
the most convincing C5 Aircross to date.
There’s a bit of three-cylinder grumble as
you fire it up, but pull away and you’ll soon
find yourself driving on electric power alone.
The powertrain’s relaxed approach fits
nicely with the car’s focus on comfort. The
electric motor does a
Citroen C5 Aircross
There are no changes to the cabin, and
Shine trim includes digital instruments
good job of smoothing out the shifts and its
torque reserves mean that the gearbox can
change up pretty early, allowing an electric
boost to fill in where the engine might
otherwise be found lacking at low revs. The
end result is a car that’s happy to cruise on
motorways, with commendable refinement.
The softer chassis set-up means there are
no thrills to be had. But that’s a price worth
paying when Stellantis’s EMP2 platform
and Citroen’s ‘hydraulic cushions’ (in effect,
hydraulic bump stops) do a decent job of
soothing out road imperfections.
If there’s a gripe with the powertrain, it’s
that the electric motor itself is a little noisier
when it’s acting as an inverter to harness
brake energy than it is when it’s assisting
the petrol engine. So you get a bit of a
noticeable whine when you lift off the
throttle. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s a
near-constant reminder that you’ve got
some electrified tech beneath you.

@johnmcilroy
WE’RE still waiting for BYD to make the
first big gaffe of its European onslaught.
The Atto 3 small SUV got proceedings off to
an encouraging start for the battery giant
turned car manufacturer, and our recent
drive of the Seal shows the firm has a
proper Tesla Model 3 rival on the way later
this year. But what of the Dolphin? Could
BYD’s baby be the one to trip up? It’s time
to find out how it fares on UK roads.
To recap, the Dolphin is a compact hatch
that tries to break a few conventions on the
combination of vehicle size, battery
capacity, range, standard kit and pricing.
Even base versions of the car, priced from
£26,195, have a 45kWh battery that’s good
for 211 miles of range (and all versions get a
heat pump), but the heartland of the range
mixes a 60kWh battery and a 201bhp front-
mounted motor, and BYD claims a WLTP
range figure of up to 265 miles.
Pricing looks keen; the range-topping
Design model seen here, complete with
two-tone paint, a full-length panoramic
glass roof and a wireless smartphone-
charging pad, comes in at £31,695 – which
is roughly where Peugeot’s smaller e-208

starting point for Volkswagen’s ID.3.

value, at £30,195. It has the same 12.8-inch
infotainment system as the Design, plus
most of the equipment you’d really need.
Climb aboard the Dolphin and you’ll find
an environment that resists feeling cheap,
while never coming close to being premium.
There’s padding in all of the areas you might
interact with, though, and all of the switches
have a solid feel to them.
The fascia is dominated, of course, by
the 12.8-inch, rotatable display. Its interface
has a few foibles, but there’s no doubting
the processing grunt behind it, because
BYD’s system is snappier and quicker to
respond than anything you’ll find in a
Vauxhall, Peugeot or VW.
Four grown-ups should be comfortable
on board, with leg and headroom befitting
of a car that actually does a good job of
disguising its size (you could be fooled into
thinking it’s a supermini, when in fact it’s
slightly longer than the ID.3). As such, the
BYD’s boot is perhaps a little on the small
side, at 345 litres – a sign of how cabin
space has been prioritised over load
capacity. But it’s a sensible shape and
should still be big enough for a family’s
full weekly shopping.
There’s better news on the move, for the
Dolphin inherits many of the well resolved
characteristics of the Atto 3. The electric

 TESTED BMW 7 Series vs Mercedes S-Class
BMW 7 Series
MODEL TESTED: BMW M760e xDrive
PRICE: £119,305 POWERTRAIN: 3.0-litre 6cyl in-line turbo, e-motor/563bhp
AS standard, the M760e xDrive is loaded
with the best tech that BMW can throw at
its range-topping saloon, so it comes with a hefty
price tag to match. In addition, our car featured the
£23,000 Ultimate Pack, which takes the total to
£144,905. The S-Class tested here is in top-spec
Premium Plus Executive trim, and aside from
one or two colour and upholstery options, the
£121,295 you see is what you’ll pay.
Tech highlights
EVEN when compared with its sizeable
predecessor, the seventh-generation 7 Series has
grown a little larger. At 5,391mm, it’s 130mm
longer, plus it’s 48mm wider and 5mm taller, too.
While the car’s overall size has increased, the
engine capacities have shrunk. There will be no
V12 engine options in this G70 version of the
7 Series, so smoothness and silence instead
come in the form of the all-electric i7. The other
powertrains currently available to UK buyers take
a half-and-half approach. In this top-spec M760e,
a six-cylinder petrol engine is combined with an
electric motor. Together, they produce 563bhp and
800Nm of torque – still a huge figure to propel a
car with a significant 2.5-tonne kerbweight.
Up to 48 miles of EV-only driving is possible,
thanks to a 22.1kWh battery, while the electric
motor itself offers up a fairly generous 194bhp
and 450Nm on its own. That motor is integrated
into the eight-speed automatic gearbox, and drive
is sent to all four wheels.
SAFETY: Automated driving systems enable the
7 Series to steer within its lane (by monitoring
both road markings and vehicles ahead) and
keep its distance from other traffic. For the benefit
of German autobahn users, this functions works
at speeds up to 130mph.
34 20 September 2023
On road
THE impressive level of comfort and refinement
in a car of this size is almost taken for granted, so
for the 7 Series to also feel competent in corners
comes as a big surprise.
AROUND TOWN: In fully electric mode, the
M760e’s powertrain is wonderfully smooth
and easy to modulate. The feel through the brake
pedal is natural and progressive, which helps
the driver to bring the car to an easy halt.
Ride comfort is fantastic, too, and on the rare
occasion that the distant thud of a pothole reaches
the cabin, the noise is exceptionally well insulated.
A & B-ROADS: Of all the qualities to find in a
5.3-metre-long limousine, keen handling is quite
a surprise. While the M760e isn’t the sort of car to
hustle along a B-road, its composure, a relative lack
of inertia and its grip are all very impressive.
The steering is light and direct, which manages
to mask the car’s weight while still keeping you
conscious of its size. Resist the urge to look over
your shoulder and see that enormous cabin
behind, and it wouldn’t be hard to mistake the BEST
DRIVE
M760e for a smaller 5 Series-sized car.
The brakes are strong and responsive, which is
handy because the M760e has huge straight-line
performance. The 0-62mph dash takes just 4.3
seconds, which is strong, but perhaps overkill for
a car such as this. The hybrid system switches
between petrol and electric modes very smoothly.
MOTORWAY: At high speeds, the ride remains
settled yet controlled. Things become firmer (yet
still very forgiving) when you switch to Sport
mode and the ride height drops by 10mm – the
latter also happens at motorway speeds. Much like
it is around town, the cabin is incredibly quiet. WHEELS

 TESTED BMW 7 Series vs Mercedes S-Class
Mercedes S-Class
MODEL TESTED: S 580 e L AMG Line Premium Plus Executive
PRICE: £121,295 POWERTRAIN: 3.0-litre 6cyl in-line turbo, e-motor/510bhp
BRAND loyalty among S-Class buyers is
incredible, with roughly 80 per cent of
European owners going on to either buy another
or at least stay within the Mercedes brand. But
with the arrival of the new 7 Series, is this the
time for owners to reconsider?
Tech highlights
THE S-Class has long had a reputation for
being a technological tour-de-force, and for this
generation, that extends to the plug-in hybrid
powertrain, too. Power comes from a 362bhp
3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine, which works
alongside a 148bhp electric motor. Combined,
they produce 510bhp, which is plenty of grunt,
even if it is slightly down on its rival here.
The key figure here, though, is the size of the
battery. With 28.6kWh, the S 580 e has one of
the largest capacities of any PHEV currently
available, and enough, says Mercedes, to allow the
limousine to cover 63 miles on a single charge.
There is a weight penalty that comes with it, and
at 2,631kg, the S-Class is more than 100kg heavier
than the already portly M760e. Once up to speed,
however, a drag coefficient of 0.22Cd helps it to
cut through the air efficiently.
SAFETY: Among the safety innovations that came
to market with the latest version of the S-Class are
the rear airbags, which deploy from the front seat
backs in order to cushion the rear-seat occupants.
These are combined with inflatable rear seatbelts
to ensure maximum safety for passengers.
With the E-Active Body Control system
equipped, in an event of a predicted side-on
collision, the air suspension set-up lifts the
vulnerable side of the car by 80mm in a fraction
of a second to ensure that the strongest parts of
the chassis bear the brunt of any impact.
38 20 September 2023
On road
IN some areas, the S-Class is spectacularly capable,
but small flaws take the shine off the experience.
AROUND TOWN: Chief among those flaws is the
braking. For a car that will often be driven by a
chauffeur, it takes a very deft foot on the brake
pedal to bring the S-Class to a smooth halt – a
manoeuvre that’s much easier in the 7 Series. It’s
no smoother from higher speeds, because the car
surges as if it can’t work out whether to brake with
motor regen or the mechanical discs and pads.
Another issue is the ride; we expect a car
such as this to be exceptional, but it’s fidgety
at low speeds. Elsewhere, the electric motor is
smooth and powerful enough for urban driving.
A & B-ROADS: Performance isn’t in short supply,
either. The S 580 e delivers a relentless, linear
surge, and its tuneful straight six is a little quieter
than the BMW’s. It feels heavier than the 7 Series
in corners and there’s more roll, but it’s composed
and grippy, and the light steering is precise.
The only real giveaway that the S 580 e is so
heavy comes, again, from the brakes. It’s not just
the feel that’s the problem, it’s the stopping power; BEST
RANGE
slowing down 2.6 tonnes with a degree of urgency
feels like it’s asking a lot of the discs and pads.
MOTORWAY: The slight low-speed jiggle
disappears completely at speed, where the ride
quality aboard the S-Class is fantastic. The
Mercedes feels more like it’s floating above the
road rather than rolling along it – even more
so than in the BMW. The sensation is helped
by the fact that wind and road noise are so well
isolated from the cabin. Predictably, high-speed
stability is great, all of which makes a 70mph
cruise feel more like 40mph. WHEELS

which features a more potent version

the S 580. All of these powertrains
include a 23bhp mild-hybrid boost.

BMW’s latest OS 8.5 is installed on
the vast curved display, and it’s one
of the best systems around. Judge
it on its loading times, touchscreen
response, graphics or interface, and
it scores very highly. The resolution
is fantastic, which is most obvious
on the parking display that
presents a rear and top-down view
side-by-side, or a 3D image of the
car, which can be swiped around to
give a precise perspective of how
close you are to obstacles.
The climate controls are on the

is easy to adjust on the fly, you must
use a sub-menu to change the fan
speed. For PHEV drivers who like to

AT 12.8 inches, the S 580 e’s OLED

7 Series, the temperature controls
are a permanent fixture on the

adjust fan speed without opening
another menu, so it’s the easier
infotainment system to use.
The graphics aren’t quite as

menu screen has large icons that
make it easy to find the function you
need. Loading times are quick for
the navigation system, and the map
changes swiftly if you swipe or pinch

Deputy editor refinement and smoothness.

IN the context of a pair of cars that
will set you back a six-figure sum
over the course of three years, the
difference in cost between the two is
pretty much negligible. Dive into the
numbers, and the 7 Series is the less
expensive option on a three-year
PCP agreement; place £10,000 up
front and, on a deal which allows for
10,000 miles per year, the BMW
costs £2,190 per month compared
with £2,291 for the Mercedes.
While both are PHEVs, the
Mercedes is the more frugal of the
two. Not only can it drive further on
a charge, but when the battery is
depleted, it’s also more efficient.
This is reflected in our test figures of
36.3mpg for the S-Class and 34.1mpg
for the BMW. That’s only a very small
difference over 36 months, though,
and the same applies to servicing
and insurance: in both cases the
BMW holds a slim advantage.
If you’re in a pay grade high
enough to choose either of these
as a company car, then there’s not
much to choose between them in

 TESTED BMW 7 Series vs Mercedes S-Class

Rivals and other options

BMW 7 Series wins our twin test, but what else is out there?

SAME CLASS
Audi A8 TFSI e
OF the big three German brands’ offerings, the Audi is the most understated of the luxury
limousine segment. If you want to pass by unnoticed, the subtle-yet-handsome A8 is the
way to go. It’s also a similar story inside, where there’s no doubting the luxury on offer, but
it doesn’t have the glamour – some might say chintziness – of the Mercedes or BMW.
It’s impressive on the road, with superlative comfort, punchy performance and strong
refinement. Yet the A8 can’t quite match the 7 Series or S-Class when it comes to offering a
sense of occasion, plus the 60 TFSI e PHEV can’t travel as far as either on electric power alone.

● Understated luxury ● PHEV tech lags behind rivals’

● Excellent comfort ● Feels like a big A6
● Cruising refinement ● Shorter electric range

SAME CLASS
Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid
WHILE the BMW and Mercedes undeniably feel special from the back seats, neither can
compete with the fit, finish and truly great feeling you’ll get from a Flying Spur. Knowing
every hide, stitch and wood veneer has been crafted just for your car lifts the ambience.
When there’s a V12 or V8 under the bonnet, the Bentley feels about as flawless as any
new car you can buy. The ride is superb, it’s eerily quiet inside, yet it’s got poise in corners
and straight-line speed to spare. But the PHEV powertrain falls short of the rest of the car’s
standards and can’t quite offer the performance or seamless power delivery we’d expect.

● Stunning cabin ● Can get expensive

● First-class refinement ● Weak PHEV powertrain
● Agile handling ● Short electric range

BYD Atto 3
SECOND REPORT A dealer visit with a difference
John McIlroy
John_McIlroy@autovia.co.uk
@johnmcilroy
WE’RE not averse to visiting car dealers
with our long-term test vehicles at Auto
Express – particularly when there’s a new
look or a new part of the experience that we
know customers are going to go through too.
But for our BYD Atto 3, actually finding a
showroom to visit is still something of a
challenge, because there aren’t many.
BYD is a global giant in battery
production and, more recently, the
manufacture of EVs and PHEVs, but it’s
a relative minnow in the UK. Its first
dealership only opened back in March,
a few months adrift of a self-imposed
schedule that actually targeted UK sales
in the final quarter of last year.
Increasing numbers of new arrivals are
promising to shake up the buying process,
with direct sales, huge amounts of the
journey taking place online and dealerships
seen very much as ‘fulfilment centres’. But
that’s not exactly the case with BYD, because
just as it has done on continental Europe,
the brand elected to partner with proven car
retailers to help build up its UK presence.
So depending on where you live in the
UK, your BYD outlet will be operated by
recognised names such as Arnold Clark or
Pendragon. And the chosen location for
our visit, on a brisk September morning,
is a branch operated by Stratstone,
right beside a dual carriageway running
through Milton Keynes.
As it turns out, this was one of the first
two dealerships in the country – and such
was the push to get it ready and open in
time that bits of branding are still being
added or tweaked on a daily basis. This
week’s arrival? Proper signage to show the
specs beside the half dozen Atto 3s in the
spacious showroom. Oh, and they’re on

Stratstone’s Head of Retail for BYD, Julie
Fearnley, has been at the heart of the initial
push with the brand – which shows little
sign of easing. “I split my time between
here and [our showroom in] Birmingham
at the moment,” she tells us, “but we’re also
gearing up to launch our first boutique in
Mayfair in the coming weeks, so that’s
taking up a lot of our time as well.”
BYD was quick to get stock of its cars
available, Fearnley says, but the early wave of
potential customers were generally Chinese
people already aware of the brand. “That
was a definite early trend, but it’s changing
all the time,” she acknowledges. “Here, for
example, we get a lot of passing traffic, so
with Atto 3s out front, we do get walk-ins
who are curious about the cars and brand.
“We’ve also seen a shift from early EV
adopters to people who know that they’re
going to have to change at some point.
We’re doing our bit to educate on that front
– and BYD’s scale and history in battery
manufacturing doesn’t do any harm there.”
The Atto 3 has been a “perfect” initial
launch vehicle, Fearnley believes – but she

 OUR CARS Living with a Volkswagen T-Roc
Volkswagen T-Roc
FINAL REPORT A 330-mile round trip shows SUV’s good and bad points
IT was entirely fitting that our T-Roc
finished its six months on our fleet
with just the kind of long-distance journey
where it’s at its most comfortable.
I’ve done the six-hour round trip to
Ring’s Leeds HQ before in the T-Roc, but
this time it was for our annual headlamp
bulb test (scheduled to appear in Issue
1,800). The slog up the A1 from my Essex
home was completed with no problem, but
50 20 September 2023
reinforced my love-hate relationship with
VW’s most popular model – something
echoed in our 2023 Driver Power new-car
owner survey, where the T-Roc finished in
28th place with a very mixed bag of scores.
On the plus side, the seating position is
very comfortable, with the adjustable centre
console and door armrest taking the strain
off both shoulders, plus there’s a good choice
of positions for the feet. The infotainment
works well, with Apple CarPlay providing
entertainment and navigation via the big
screen and beats sound pack. The adaptive
cruise control is also good for taking the
grind out of the long periods of stop-start
traffic due to roadworks and breakdowns.
Less good is the ride, which too easily
becomes upset on poor road surfaces and
struggles to cope with sharper undulations
at speed. It can also be too firm around

town, despite using the softest Dynamic
Chassis Control setting. The cruise control
that works so well in stop-start traffic is not
so effective at higher speeds, taking an age
to accelerate after a slower vehicle moves
out of the way. And that’s not just me being
impatient, because following cars invariably
close up as they see the road clearing.
That also brings me on to another gripe.
While there are plenty of options for all the

electronic settings – which is good because
you can configure them to your preference
– what’s less ideal is having to reselect them
all every time I restart the car. In my case,
that means switching off the lane assist
as soon as I pull away and reducing the
adaptive cruise alert distance once that
function has been selected.
It’s a shame because, unlike in many cars,
cruise remains active between journeys. The
frequent alerts to drive in the centre of the
lane when there’s nothing wrong with the
road position are another bugbear.
Readers have also criticised the VW’s
gearbox and I have to join them. While it’s
fine on part throttle, if you call on the
1.5-litre turbocharged engine’s 148bhp, the
kickdown is harsh, even when using only
most of the power. It is also wanting when
manoeuvring at low speed, which is done
in a series of jerks even with the auto-stop
brake off. The brakes are also sharp, which
doesn’t help smooth progress.
The one occasion I wasn’t concerned about
the ride or harsh gearshifts was the absolute
highlight of my time with the T-Roc, when
it was my mount for the Shelsley Walsh Hill
Climb School. The VW might have an R on
the front, but this is no competition car and
I didn’t care, because it proved to be pretty
much ideal for the school: powerful enough
for me not to take most corners flat out, but
composed enough that I could concentrate
on finding my line up the steep climb
without having to worry about keeping the
VW pointing the right way. It might be an
unlikely track car, but together we managed
to take home the day’s top prize.
Problems have been limited to noisy
wipers and a dash alert to replace the key
battery. Both were solved by replacing with
new items, but we were surprised the wipers
had hardened so quickly on a relatively new
car. The same goes for the battery.
Given the T-Roc’s modest towing abilities,
it hasn’t been able to help with any track
exploits in my own cars, but I have enjoyed
getting better fuel economy than I would
with something that was a regular towcar.
Over more than 3,000 miles, this finished
at almost 43mpg, giving a comfortable 400
miles between fills, further enhancing the
T-Roc’s long-distance ability.

UNTIL now, picture editor Dawn Grant has been more than happy to
simply enjoy driving our Alfa Romeo Tonale and admiring its stylish
looks. But a few weekends ago, its practicality was put to the test when
she and her husband needed to move a double bed.
They are running the plug-in hybrid version of the SUV, which means
it has a slightly smaller boot capacity than that of the equivalent mild-
hybrid model: 385 litres with the rear seats up and 1,430 litres when they
are folded down. On both counts, that’s a shortfall of more than 100 litres,
but Dawn was pleased to find this was still enough for the Tonale to
accommodate the bed frame and mattress in one trip.
The seats folded down easily and, with the parcel shelf tucked behind
the front seats, it was fairly easy to fit everything in. The only downside
was that the long side sections intruded on the front passenger seat,
making it hard for Dawn to get in. However, given that it was only a short
journey, she chose to walk back home and leave her husband to drive.

LATEST TAMIYAS HAVE
AN EYE ON THE PAST
NEW PRODUCT
Tamiya RC cars and trucks
Price: from £149
Contact: modelsport.co.uk
THERE’S a distinctly retro feel to the latest
additions to Tamiya’s 1:10 RC line-up, with
a classic buggy rerelease, fifties panel van,
seventies rally car and eighties off-roader.
For those whose RC interest was sparked by
early Tamiya buggies, the Super Sabre 2023’s
arrival will bring back memories. And if you find
spraying bodyshells tricky, this is pre-painted
and cut, requiring just decals to be added. It has
a 4WD chassis and costs £225 as a kit, or £310
for a bundle including a battery, charger and radio.
Lovers of Americana will be eagerly awaiting
the November arrival of the fifties panel van-
inspired Squash Van on the gear-driven 4WD
GF-02 chassis. It is expected to cost £225 – or
£299 for the all-you-need bundle.
For fans of more comic-looking models, there
is the Mitsubishi Pajero, which sees its first-
generation shorty pick-up-style polystyrene
shell mated to a CW-01 2WD chassis. It’s based
on the Montero Wheelie, with changed tyres,
and is priced at £149 (kit) and £230 (bundle).
Finally, world rally fans will love the Fiat 131
Rally Abarth in Olio livery. The title-
winning Mirafiori derivative sits
on the MF-01X chassis and
gets a torque-
tuned motor. As
a kit it costs
£199, while
the bundle
is £270.

FAQ
Is air-con bad for your
health and wealth?
THE short answer is yes and no but, Multitask
as always, there is more to it than As well as
that. Having suffered driving a car keeping the
this summer without working air- occupants
conditioning, I’m still surprised some cool, air-con
drivers believe using it is a bad idea. systems
The experience of sweating excessively dehumidify
or getting buffeted with the windows the car
open makes it easy to see why some
marques don’t sell cars without air-con.
But a few drivers still believe it is
not necessary or should only be used
in extreme temperatures. A prime
reason is that air-con increases fuel
consumption when it is used. This is because extra power
is needed to drive the compressor, but the difference is
likely to be less than five per cent. So while it’s definitely
worth considering, you should also ensure your car’s tyre
pressures are correct, no excess weight is being carried,
and you drive with fuel economy in mind. Higher speeds,
holding gears and aggressive use of the throttle all play a
major role in increasing fuel consumption.
Others believe air-con is bad for your health, although
the reality is that it may actually bring benefits. Air-con
systems rely on their dehumidifying ability to minimise
the build-up of moisture in the car and within the AC
system, which prevents the growth of mould. Irregular
use can result in moisture build-up within the AC system
and unpleasant odours in the cabin. In addition, modern
set-ups monitor air quality and can automatically
recirculate air to catch dust and allergens.
There are also some drivers who are convinced about
using the AC in summer, yet leave it off in winter. But that
dehumidifying ability has a key role to play in the wettest
months, plus mould growth still needs to be kept at bay.
Leaving air-con unused can also cost you more than
any saving in fuel consumption because the system relies
on circulating oil for lubrication. If it’s not used, seals can
dry out, leading to leaks and the need to re-gas or repair.
So as well as ensuring the driver and passengers are
comfortable, it pays to use your AC all year round.

Clarke CMSTRT
Mechanics’ Utility Seat
Price: £59.98
Rating:
Contact: machinemart.co.uk
THIS seat is smaller than the others
and the lower height means it feels
very stable. Unlike its rivals, the top
isn’t padded, but it was surprisingly
supportive and will be more resistant
to wear and tear.
The seat’s party trick is the ability to
pull the top off and use it as a kneeler.
While this may be more comfortable
than kneeling on gravel or concrete, the
top is hard, so the benefit is limited.
Under the seat is a metal tray, which
is divided into four for keeping smaller
screws and fixings safe. Higher up
there’s a small shelf, which can hold
screwdrivers and other tools.
We reveal who has the
best seat in the house
Toby Knight
ARE you sitting comfortably?
If you are working on a car, the
answer is rarely going to be ‘yes’,
unless you’ve invested in a
mechanic’s seat.
These special stools are
designed to make working on
wheels, brakes and suspension
less of a pain, because they mean
you won’t need to kneel for long
periods while fixing or cleaning the
lower parts of your car.
The seats also include places to
store tools, fluids and components,
so they are close to hand and less
likely to get left behind.
In our last multitest we gave the
Best Buy prize to the Hilka Pro-Craft,
with Sealey a close second. Now
they have new competition from
Clarke with its CMSTRT Utility Seat.
The new rival is close in price to
the others, is easier to store and is
more stable. But it can’t offer the
flexibility of the Hilka, and the hard
seat area is a sore point too. In the
end, our Best Buy retains its crown.

THE Hilka’s price has risen, but
it still seems fair value. It’s very

benefit is height adjustment.
Under the cushion are a large

BEST BUY THE Halfords set once 2023

again features its 42, 25mm bits in
clearly marked plastic holders, with
some of the popular sizes being duplicated.
It also has two packs of seven sockets, one in
metric sizes and one imperial. While it appears
unchanged from previous tests, the driver is
much better because it now boasts a 70-tooth
ratchet, rather than the 20-tooth driver included
last time out, so it has an upmarket feel and
more accuracy. The flexible extension is a useful
addition, but as before we’d really like a case to
keep everything together, although the price
and selection keep it on top.

RECOMMENDED WHEN it comes to

choice, this set has everyone beaten,
with a huge range of our preferred bits
and then lots more unusual ones (security,
MorTorq, Spline, Clutch, etc) plus a number
of adaptors. They are all size-stamped,
but while their positions in the strong
case are marked, the black background
makes the figures tricky to read. Our
biggest gripe is the disappointing ratchet,
which has just 20 teeth and is very
clunky (it’s almost identical in design
to the previous Halfords driver). But if
you’re looking to cover all eventualities,
you can’t go wrong here.

MULTIBIT SCREWDRIVERS
We try eight sets to find which bits fit best in your tool box
Dave Pollard
BUYING a screwdriver for every
fastener on your car would cost a mint
and you’d need to find space to store
them all, too. A multibit screwdriver
set is a simpler and more cost-effective
way to deal with the problem, offering
masses of choice while taking
up much less space.
Handily, the sets not only provide
a solution for a range of fasteners but
typically provide duplicates of the most
used and, therefore, most often damaged.
Many don’t just stop at screwdriver
fasteners, either, but can also tackle
bolts and nuts, and most can be used in
a cordless drill to save time and effort.
Multibit drivers are a tool box essential,
then, but which is the one to complete
your kit? We try eight sets to find out.

RECOMMENDED WE really like
this set with its sensible selection
of colour-coded bits. The 25mm bits are
contained in four holders, which neatly unclip
for easy access. As well as the usual suspects,
the set also includes eight security Torx bits
along with the same number of Quick Bit-style
65mm bits specifically for power tool use.
The three side-driving ‘nutsetter’ sockets are
a good addition and we like the tough, rubber-
edged case. On the downside, the driver
should be a ratchet and it’s a shame there
isn’t space for it within the case.

A VERY practical set in most respects,

extensions of 75mm and 130mm add to its
versatility. The selection of bits and quarter-
inch drive sockets is good, as is the build

How we
tested them
WE looked for a good range of types and
sizes, particularly those most useful for
motorists; slotted, crosshead (Phillips),
hex (Allen) and star (Torx). Pozidriv bits
can be handy for garage or domestic use,
but aren’t often found on cars.
When working, it’s sometimes difficult to
determine which bit is which, so the better
they are labelled, both on the case and the
bodies, the more we like them. A good case
keeps everything clean and neatly stored.
We expected the driver to be comfortable
and a ratchet makes life easier – more teeth
on that makes for smoother and more
accurate use. All these factors were balanced
against prices from online sources.

Richard Dredge
SOON after Audi had axed its quattro,
Subaru introduced the next generation of
turbocharged four-wheel-drive supercar. As
with the quattro, few people realised just
what a machine the Impreza would be, but
soon this four-door saloon was making its
mark on rally stages around the globe.
Just like the quattro, the Impreza wasn’t
simply a competition machine, and there
was a road-going version available, which
offered a greater level of usable performance
than virtually any car previously offered.
Better still, the Impreza was attainable, even
if its running costs were steep. The Subaru
has now moved into classic territory, but it
offers the same thrills and practicality that it
always did, and if you buy well, you’ll have a
car that goes up in value rather than down.

History
THE 208bhp Impreza Turbo made its debut
in Japan in 1992, but it didn’t arrive in the
UK until March 1994, in saloon and estate
forms. At the end of 1996, the suspension
and brakes were upgraded, while engine
tweaks boosted torque from 273Nm to
290Nm. The nose was reshaped and there
were far more supportive bucket seats.
A much-improved interior was fitted from
the end of 1997, with white dials, higher-
quality trim, a Momo steering wheel and a
passenger airbag. For 1999 there was a new
215bhp engine, firmer suspension, bigger
brakes and a top-spec alarm/immobiliser.

BUYER’SGUIDE: Subar
Meanwhile, the 247bhp Impreza WRX
had arrived in 1994 with a close-ratio
gearbox and a strengthened engine. The
P1 of 1999 was a glorious and now very
collectible 276bhp two-door saloon.

YOUR VIEW
THE last of these Imprezas was built almost 25 years ago,
so they fall outside the remit of our Driver Power surveys.
When new they were bought by enthusiasts who accepted
the high running costs and low-rent interior, and now that
they’re bought as toys for occasional use, the shortcomings
are accepted even more readily. Which is easy to do when
the Impreza serves up so much fun and usability.
CASE STUDY
DAN Underhill from Worcester bought his 2000 Impreza
Turbo in 2010 and says: “It took me a year to find a good,
original Impreza. This one had done 60,000 miles, and I’ve
added 40,000 more on road and track, so it’s seen some
hard use, but it’s been very reliable and running costs are
low. The Impreza is busy on the motorway and I wish it had
the optional air-con, but overall it’s incredible.”
provide enormous fun for relatively little
money. Collectors pay big premiums for
the best, but values drop sharply for what
you might call an 80 per cent car. These
are cherished and in good condition, but
might have a few sympathetic mods and BREATH EASY The scoop and vents in the bonnet allow for
perhaps a little bit of patina. Find one of airflow into the engine and cooling system. The standard
these and you’ll be able to enjoy all of the Impreza Turbo units could produce up to nearly 300bhp
fun of Impreza ownership, without having
to pay through the nose for it.
Common faults
HARDLY anyone buys an Impreza Turbo
for everyday use now, but if you intend to
drive yours on a regular basis, check that
the insurance is affordable along with the
maintenance and fuel costs, because all
three can be very high.

 DASHBOARD Despite showing
its age, the Impreza’s dash has a
clear layout and is simple to use

How much?
YOU can buy an early Impreza Turbo for as little as
£5,000, and while this will have an MoT, it’ll need some
TLC. The unknown will be how long it’ll last before you’re
hit with a big bill. That’s why it would be wiser to spend
between £12,000 and £20,000 on something in better
condition, but that’s not too good to use.
There’s no significant difference in values between
saloons and estates, but it’s the former that are by far
the most common. If you’re lucky enough to find a truly
superb unmodified Impreza Turbo, you could pay up to
£30,000 for it, although the general ceiling is closer
to £25,000 for regular models. However, some of the
special editions are especially sought after, such as
the RB5, while the two-door P1 also carries a premium
of at least £10,000 over an equivalent Turbo model.

Which one?
ANY well maintained original-spec Impreza
Turbo will be sensational to drive and own,
but most have had some modifications.
These can make the car better or worse in
terms of driveability and reliability, so pin
down what’s been done, and by whom.
The standard car is known as the UK
Turbo; generically this generation of
Impreza was codenamed GC8 by Subaru.
There was also a WRX model with a
stronger engine, while the best of the
regular models was the WRX STi, which
had an engine that was strengthened
further, for greater reliability when tuned;
some early Turbo editions also featured a
strengthened engine. All of these cars are
well represented in terms of availability (a
bit less so where the STi is concerned), if
you’re not a stickler for originality.
Alternatives
THE Mitsubishi Evo IV, V and VI are the
closest rivals, with their turbocharged 2.0-
litre engines and four-wheel drive. They
came only in saloon guise, but they’re every
bit as exciting and just as hard to find in
standard form. Even more expensive is the

and some lighting functions
Ford Escort RS Cosworth, and it’s the same
with the Lancia Delta Integrale. Both of
those came only as hatchbacks, but if you’d
prefer a seriously quick estate the Audi RS2
could be for you, or there’s the S4, which
was also available in saloon form.
The snag with all of these cars is that
they’ve become collectors’ pieces that are
often bought for their investment potential
rather than to be used. Original-spec cars
are highly prized and consequently
valuable, because they’re so hard to find.
Verdict
THE Impreza Turbo really did change the
motoring landscape when it burst onto the
scene 31 years ago. Capable of leaving
hugely valuable supercars for dead, while
taking the family along for the ride, the
Impreza is a seriously talented car.
Now seen as a modern classic, its prices
have gone crazy over the past few years,
especially for cars to factory spec. Whether
you’re buying for regular road use, track-

Recalls
THERE are no recalls on record for the first-generation
Impreza, and the first campaigns launched by Subaru,
according to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency
(DVSA), which manages the system, were not issued
until 2004. While that recall was for the Impreza Turbo,
it wasn’t for this generation; it was for the second-
generation ‘Bug-Eye’ model that was launched in 2000.
That action was because engine oil leaks could lead
to a fire; there wouldn’t be another Impreza recall until
2012, once again for the ‘Bug-Eye’. This time the
problem was suspension corrosion. The same model
was recalled again in 2014 because of brake fluid
leaks, then again in 2015, because of airbag glitches.
There would be another campaign in 2018, for cars
as old as 2004, because of faulty fuel pump wiring.

 BUYING CARS Multi-purpose vehicles

£10,000 for a people carrier to transport a family of six

THE ORIGINAL CHOICE

Chrysler G. Voyager
FOR: Huge cabin, well equipped, very comfortable
AGAINST: Defunct brand in the UK, iffy build quality

CHRYSLER left the UK in 2017, but its Grand

Voyager is still worth a look because it’s so
versatile and roomy. Any decent garage can
maintain one, and parts availability is pretty
good. On sale from 2008 to 2013, there were
3.8 V6 petrol or 2.8 CRD diesel engines, but
the latter is the only one that makes sense.
You should aim to buy one of the last cars,
because the Grand Voyager was facelifted in
summer 2011. We found a few 2012/13 top-
spec examples of the 2.8 CRD Limited with
70,000-80,000 miles on the clock for £10,000.

THE SENSIBLE CHOICE

SEAT Alhambra
FOR: Plenty to buy, efficient engines, easy to live with
AGAINST: Anonymous design, firm suspension

AS with the original Alhambra of 1995, this

Mk2 edition also came in Ford Galaxy and
Volkswagen Sharan forms, so look for one
of those if you can’t find the SEAT you want.
Launched in 2012 and axed in 2020, this
is the most readily available MPV here, and
virtually all on sale have a 2.0 TDI diesel
engine. There is the odd 1.4 TSI petrol car
being offered, but the diesel provides muscle
with economy and is definitely the one to go
for. A £10k budget will secure a 2014 2.0 TDI
SE DSG auto with 65,000 miles under its belt.

THE LEFT-FIELD CHOICE

Ssangyong Turismo
FOR: Huge cabin, great value, excellent tow car
AGAINST: Costly to run, not many to choose from

SSANGYONG is a brand that isn’t uppermost in

most buyers’ minds, but the Turismo is a roomy
MPV that offers decent value, although running
costs can be high if you do a lot of miles.
Launched in 2013 with a 153bhp 2.0-litre diesel
engine, this was upgraded to a ULEZ-compliant
175bhp 2.2-litre unit in November 2015.
You won’t find masses of Turismos to
choose from, but they are out there and
there’s an even split between 2.0 and 2.2-litre
engines, with the latter easily within reach
for a £10,000 budget. That’s enough to buy
a 2016 2.2 ELX that’s done 90,000 miles.

NOBODY ever bought a multi-purpose
vehicle (MPV) for the thrill of driving or to
impress the neighbours, but when it comes to
ultimate versatility, nothing else can compete.
You’ll find very few people carriers in the new-
car price lists today, though, because practical
but more fashionable SUVs have taken over.
The first MPV was the Fiat 600 Multipla in
1956, but in 1983 it was Dodge, Chrysler and

with high fuel and VED costs, while a diesel
won’t necessarily be ULEZ-compliant.

SPACE is what the Grand Voyager is all about; it can
accommodate six adults and a decent amount of
luggage, although the quality of the materials inside
leaves a bit to be desired. Whereas earlier cars came
with a choice of standard or long wheelbases, this
one was available in the longer form only. Chrysler
offered a choice of six individual chairs, which were
dubbed Swivel ‘n’ Go, or a bench seat in row two to
accommodate seven people. ‘Picnic seating’ (above)
let the rear row pivot for three people to sit in the boot
when parked. Most used examples are top-spec
Limited models, but LX and Touring are also available.

SPACIOUS and practical, the Alhambra’s interior can
fit seven adults, with the sliding rear doors making
it easy to get in and out. Rows two and three fold
flat to provide a load bay that’ll swallow up to 2,297
litres, or 267 litres with all the seats in use. The
Spanish model came in three key trim levels – S, SE
and SE Lux – and all offered alloy wheels, three-
zone climate control, electrically adjustable and
heated door mirrors, parking sensors all round and
Bluetooth. They also featured an eight-speaker hi-fi,
multi-function steering wheel, electric windows front
and rear, tyre pressure monitoring, and ESP.

BIGGER than most MPVs (it’s longer than a Range
Rover), the Turismo offers seating for seven people
and plenty of standard equipment. The trim levels
were initially S, ES and EX, but this switched to SE,
EX and ELX n November 2015. Manual and automatic
gearboxes were offered by the Korean manufacturer,
but the ELX came only in four-wheel-drive automatic
form. Of the facelifted cars, even the entry-level SE
has dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth, electric door
mirrors, a multi-function steering wheel and keyless
entry. The mid-range EX specification added leather
trim, heated front seats, privacy glass, rear parking
sensors and cruise control (automatic versions only),
along with 16-inch alloy wheels.

All the action from the world of motorsport

● Penultimate round on Sunday performances at Knockhill and Donington,

● Ash Sutton leads title chase
Alastair Crooks

@AllieCrooks
THE British Touring Car Championship is
heading into its closing stages with just
two events left, and the penultimate round
takes place this weekend at Silverstone.
An impressive showing by championship
leader Ash Sutton last time out at Donington
Park saw the NAPA Racing Ford Focus ST
driver extend his lead to 42 points. Sutton
has shown searing pace throughout the
season and looks set to take his fourth BTCC
title, having won the championship in 2017,
2020 and 2021. Silverstone hasn’t been a
happy hunting ground for him, however,
because he’s never won there in touring cars.
His nearest challenger in the title race is
Tom Ingram, who has six BTCC victories at
where he took two wins and two podiums
over both weekends. Having achieved a
career-best third in the 2022 title chase, Hill
will be looking to go one better in his BMW.
With the BTCC calendar coming to a
close, the rest of the field will be keen to
show off their skills – some still have race
seats to secure for 2024.
At Donington Park, Toyota’s Rory Butcher
claimed his first win of the season and
only his second podium. Butcher’s win
came at the expense of Cupra Leon
driver Daniel Lloyd, who was leading the
race up until a heartbreaking driveshaft
failure on the last lap.
Another driver in the mid-table who
performed well was Aron Taylor-Smith,
who came second in his Vauxhall Astra
(his only podium of 2023). Despite sitting
in 10th spot overall, Butcher should be one
to watch, having won at Silverstone last year

ilversto Toyota backs FIA wish

or S
for Subaru rally return
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem
has spoken of his desire to get Subaru
back into the World Rally Championship,
and it looks like his sentiment is shared
by Toyota. Speaking to Auto Express
during the Acropolis Rally in Greece,
Tom Fowler, technical director of Toyota
Gazoo Racing (above), said: “Toyota
wants more competition and Subaru
has a history of motorsport, particularly
in rally. Akio (Toyota’s president) has
said he’d like them to come and Toyota
holds a share in Subaru, but ultimately
it’s Subaru’s decision.”
This sparks questions about what
Subaru’s WRC entry would look like and
how much influence Toyota would have.
“In order for it to work, Subaru would
need as much independence from
Toyota as possible,” Fowler told us.
There are just three manufacturers
currently in WRC – Toyota, Hyundai and
Ford – with the companies fielding four,
three and two cars respectively.

Bumper line-up for

top WEC class in 2024
THE growing popularity of the World
Endurance Championship (below) could
mean a bumper entry in 2024. The WEC
currently sees 36 drivers on the grid,
but this could rise to 40 next year.
Total Hypercar entries could exceed
20, thanks to new racers from BMW,
Lamborghini and Alpine in the Hypercar
category. Britain’s Jota Team is also
looking to add another Porsche 963
LMDh to its line up. The final race of the
2023 season will be the Eight Hours of
Bahrain taking place on 4 November.

Hoping to move into the top 10 are second-tier firms such as Volvo, which made TEST SPECIAL
$3.3bn last year, BYD ($2.5bn) and Shanghai Automotive ($2.4bn). In time, all stand a
chance. Nissan and Suzuki on $1.6bn apiece, Dongfeng ($1.2bn), JLR owner Tata Motors
($0.3bn) and Beijing Automotive Group (also $0.3bn), I’m not so sure about.
In terms of rising annual profits, no vehicle maker has done better lately than BYD,
whose profit during the last financial year increased by a jaw-dropping 423 per cent.
Tesla improved by 128 per cent, Hyundai was up 32 per cent and BMW 29 per cent.
So it seems a simple case of motor manufacturers sitting back and watching their
profits roll in, at the expense of customers like you, of course. But then there are
unfathomable exceptions to the rule. Renault raked in $50bn last year, but somehow Towcar of the year
managed to convert that not-unreasonable gross revenue into a loss of almost $0.4bn.
Hmm! And things go from bad to worse at Ford, which grossed $158bn over the same
2023 revealed
12-month period, but reckoned it made annual losses of $2.0bn. If Uncle Henry continues We join Caravan and Motorhome
