FORD topped the UK car-sales charts
with the Puma in 2023 – but the small
SUV has never faced stiffer competition, so
it’s being treated to a mid-life refresh that
brings a few exterior tweaks and a major
cabin overhaul with improved levels of tech.
The demise of the Fiesta means that the
Puma has to appeal to buyers of superminis
like the Vauxhall Corsa and Toyota Yaris, as
well as baby-SUV customers who might
otherwise be considering a Vauxhall Mokka
or a Nissan Juke. Fresh arrivals in the
market, such as Citroen’s forthcoming C3,
promise crossover styling with aggressive
prices that may undercut the Ford’s, too.
From the outside, the new Puma looks
all but identical to the car that revived the
nameplate when it was launched in 2019.
The front end has the latest take on Ford’s
badge, plus all-new headlights that
incorporate a fresh daytime-running light
signature. There are trim-level variations
too, with Titanium models featuring a
dechromed front grille, and ST-Line versions
getting a more aggressive front bumper.
The other main exterior changes are a
refreshed range of colours, including the
Cactus Grey of the car in these images.
Interior
It’s inside where Ford has spent the most
money on its best seller. There’s an all-new
dashboard layout that’s designed to be less
cluttered than before, with a wraparound
effect, slim-line air vents and a new two-
spoke steering wheel design.
This focus on a cleaner look does mean
that the Puma follows the trend of losing
physical switches and placing controls for
key functions onto the central touchscreen.
To help cope with this, the Puma gets a pair
of displays that are considerably larger than
before. The digital instrument panel now
measures 12.8 inches across – and can be
customised to prioritise a driver’s preferred
information – while the infotainment
display is a 12-inch panel. This runs Ford’s
SYNC 4 software, with faster processing
than the current Puma’s SYNC 3 set-up, plus
a machine-learning algorithm.
Other highlights of the car’s refreshed
cabin include ambient lighting, an acoustic
laminated windscreen, an optional
panoramic glass roof, and synthetic-leather
upholstery on the seats, steering wheel and
armrest – with different colours of stitching,
depending on the trim level. The Puma’s
drainable boot-mounted MegaBox remains,
meanwhile – a notable selling point for
Ford’s contender in a crowded class.
Under the bonnet, the company has
rationalised the Puma’s powertrain line-up
slightly. At its core is a 1.0-litre three-
cylinder EcoBoost petrol engine, available
with either 123bhp or 153bhp and assisted
8 7 February 2024
by a 48-volt mild-hybrid starter-generator.
The lower-powered option is available with
either a six-speed manual gearbox or Ford’s
seven-speed dual-clutch auto, while the
more potent unit is automatic only.
The top of the range is being thinned out
too, as the highly rated Puma ST loses its
197bhp 1.5-litre engine and, crucially, the
option of a manual gearbox. Instead, the
performance model will be offered only with
a 168bhp mild-hybrid version of the 1.0
EcoBoost engine and the seven-speed dual-
clutch auto transmission. It also gets a Ford
Performance splitter that boosts front-end
downforce, along with bespoke ST front
grilles, and the option of a contrasting
gloss-black finish for the roof.
Ford hasn’t commented on why the hotter
of the current ST options has been dropped,
although it’s believed to be due to the sales
mix of the pre-facelift model.
The revisions also bring new safety kit;
the Puma now gets Intersection Assist
(which watches the road ahead for potential
collisions with pedestrians and cyclists),
Reverse Brake Assist (which can stop the
car from being reversed into static objects),
and Rear Cross Traffic Braking, which does
the same if it detects people or other
vehicles moving across the rear of the car.
Many of the Puma’s competitors are
available with a choice of petrol or pure-
electric power. Ford will try to address that
issue by launching the Puma Gen-E later
this year. It’s expected to share a battery
pack with the electric version of the recently
launched Tourneo Courier.
Ford is taking orders for the revised Puma
now, with first deliveries expected in early
summer. Full specs and prices have yet to
be released, but the entry-level Titanium
125PS Manual will cost from £25,790 – just
£150 more than the equivalent current model.
OPINION
Rich Ingram
Deputy editor, Auto Express
WE love it when car companies
listen. But is Ford listening, or is it
simply looking at the bottom line?
The Fiesta supermini was axed
last summer, with Ford finally
admitting defeat as it failed to
make money on a rationalised
range of small cars. Yet customers
right across Europe continued to
buy the sharply styled hatchback
until the last one rolled off the
line. Ford’s loss was Vauxhall’s
gain; the Corsa still slots in at (or
near) the top of the UK’s best-
sellers list, month after month.
So is the removal of the Puma’s
197bhp ST flagship another
example of Ford ignoring its loyal
customers to boost margins and
feed the shareholders? The
company may cite dwindling
demand, but our suspicion is that
it made more money on the MHEV
– especially since the full-fat
engine no longer has a home in
the Puma’s supermini sibling.
So come on Ford. Of course
finances come first – but can
we go back to giving customers
some of the cars they crave too? OFFICIAL

5 Series Touring
“This model draws most of its tech and
features from the new saloon, but packages
them into a more practical two-box bodystyle”
BMW sticks boot in with new
Jordan Katsianis
Jordan_Katsianis@autovia.co.uk
BMW has revealed the new 5 Series
Touring, which will arrive in the UK in
plug-in hybrid and i5 all-electric form only.
Other global markets will also have the
option of mild-hybrid petrol and diesel
versions, but sales in the UK will start with
the electric i5, while the plug-in hybrid 530e
will reach showrooms later this year.
This all-new latest-generation model
draws most of its technology and features
from the new saloon, but packages it into
a more practical two-box bodystyle.
Boot capacity is rated at 570 litres with
the rear seats in place and up to 1,700
litres with them down, making the BMW
marginally smaller than its key competitor,
the Mercedes E-Class Estate.
What Mercedes can’t do is match the
BMW’s all-electric powertrain, and until the
new Audi A6 e-Tron Avant arrives later this
year, the i5 Touring doesn’t have any direct
premium, all-electric estate rivals. The BMW
10 7 February 2024
● No mild-hybrid or diesel in UK
as brand goes with EV and PHEV
is available with two powertrain options,
starting with the single-motor eDrive40,
which pairs a 334bhp rear-mounted electric
motor with an 81.2kWh (usable) battery
pack. BMW is claiming that between 300
and 348 miles are possible from a single
charge, and says that the motor delivers a
respectable 0-62mph time of 6.1 seconds.
Above the eDrive40 will sit the high-
performance M60, which adds a second
electric motor and ups the power to a far
more substantial 592bhp on overboost.
This reduces the 0-62mph time to just
3.9 seconds, but also cuts the claimed
range (from the same battery pack) to
between 277 and 314 miles.
The 530e plug-in hybrid Touring
shares its 294bhp system with the PHEV
saloon. In this case, BMW pairs a 2.0-litre
turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine
with an electric motor that’s capable of
running on battery power for between
52 and 60 miles on a charge. This is
comparable to a Mercedes E 300 e Estate,
which offers a 50-odd-mile EV range.
Controversially, BMW has opted not
to sell the mild-hybrid petrol or diesel
versions of the 5 Series Touring in the UK,
despite offering a 520i saloon here. This
is something that key rival Mercedes still
does with its E-Class wagon, potentially
narrowing the BMW’s appeal to some UK
drivers who often do long journeys – a
common scenario for premium estates.
A new Sport edition is offered for both
the saloon and estate i5 models, aimed
at providing a more affordable entry
point for the range. It will still include
generous levels of standard equipment,
but misses out on M Sport styling add-ons
and sticks with 19-inch wheels.
The i5 Touring will cost from £69,040 for
an eDrive40 Sport, and prices will rise to
£99,090 for the flagship M60 when the new
5 Series Touring goes on sale in the spring. CABIN We loved the premium interior of the

THE all-electric 5 Series Touring isn’t the only new EV in
BMW’s line-up – the brand has added a new version of
its iX2 coupé-SUV, called eDrive20. It’ll go on sale in the
UK from March, with prices kicking off at £50,710.
The new iX2 is pitched as a sportier variant of the iX1
SUV, and shares plenty of design and tech with its more
practical sibling. The iX2 eDrive20 has a single motor

identical figures to the iX1 eDrive20. There are no
changes on charging rates either, with a matching
maximum rate of 130kW. BMW says 10 minutes of
fast-charging can provide 75 miles of range.
While BMW hasn’t said what equipment the entry-
level model will receive, we expect it to mirror the
iX1 eDrive20’s spec; that means a 10.7-inch digital
instrument panel and a 10.25-inch infotainment display
featuring BMW’s latest OS9 operating system.
Given its sportier bodystyle compared with the
iX1’s, the iX2 will most likely gain elements such as
larger 18-inch wheels and tinted windows as standard.
BMW says that all model variants of the X2 and iX2
will gain extra paint finishes from March 2024, too.
The eDrive20’s price tag undercuts the existing BMW
xDrive30 by £6,735, but that still makes it £4,505 more
expensive than the iX1 eDrive20.

 NEWS MINI Cooper
STYLING
Petrol car differs only
slightly from EV, with
clamshell bonnet and
more black cladding

OFFICIAL

Wraps come off petrol-po

Ellis Hyde
Ellis_Hyde@autovia.co.uk
@EllisDrives
THE all-electric version of the new MINI
Cooper was unveiled last September –
but now it’s the petrol model’s time to shine.
The new car doesn’t use the same
platform as the EV, but the dimensions are
the same and the styling is nearly identical.
There’s the new octagonal grille and circular
headlights up front, while the rear has a set
of customisable lights connected by a black
strip with ‘Cooper’ lettering across it.
However, there are a few differences that
distinguish the petrol models from the EV,
● Petrol-engined MINI joins EV
● Two engines on offer initially
as well as the grille not being blanked off.
For example, the new petrol Cooper has a
clamshell bonnet line, like the current car’s,
and heavier use of black-plastic cladding.
On the other hand, both versions of the
new MINI have identical interiors. They’re
centred on an ultra-slim 9.4-inch OLED
circular touchscreen that serves as both the
instrument panel and infotainment display.
The MINI Cooper’s boot capacity
of 210 litres is on par with the current
three-door hatchback’s, and can be
expanded to 800 litres when the split
rear seats are folded down.
The new MINI Cooper comes only with
a seven-speed dual-clutch auto gearbox,
but there are at least two petrol engines to
choose from. The entry-level Cooper C uses
a three-cylinder unit with 154bhp and
230Nm of torque. Meanwhile the Cooper S
is powered by a four-cylinder motor that
pumps out 201bhp and 300Nm, with the
extra oomph cutting the MINI’s 0-62mph
time from 7.7 to 6.6 seconds. A hotter John COMING SOON New Cooper will be joined

New Golf R is fired up for summer unveiling

VOLKSWAGEN may have recently revealed
the updated eighth-generation Golf, but
now the firm has teased the sportiest
variant still due a refresh: the Golf R.
Official teaser images from the brand
itself show the forthcoming Golf R in pretty
revealing camouflage during a public
premiere at the Ice Race in Zell am See,
Austria. The company says the car will
be revealed in full this summer, which
is when we expect to see the facelifted
Golf GTI Clubsport launched too.
Despite the disguise, we can see the
facelifted Golf R will look a little different
on the outside. The front bumper has
been restyled with new vents for a more
aggressive look – similar to the changes
on the newly updated Golf GTI – while the
revised R will also use the Golf’s fresh
headlight signature and feature an
illuminated VW badge within the grille.
OFFICIAL
This test car looks like it sits on the
same wheels as the Golf R 20 Years, and
as before, there are beefier brakes to cope
with the power – which could rise from the
current R’s 316bhp, potentially to or even
beyond the 20 Years edition’s 328bhp.
Regardless of the numbers, the engine
will again be a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo
petrol, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch
gearbox and four-wheel drive.
Inside, the R will benefit from the regular
Golf’s 2024 overhaul, including a larger
12.9-inch infotainment screen, with the
latest software and interface. The unloved “Power could rise from the current R’s 316bhp to, or

@stevefowler
IT was something of a tumultuous year
for JLR in 2023, but the company results
– released last week – show strong sales
across the board. However, plenty of
challenges remain, with vocal owners
complaining about vehicle thefts, the
rising cost of insurance – if they can get
cover at all – and parts shortages keeping
some cars off the road for months.
It’s quite a time, then, for Patrick
McGillycuddy to take the reins as managing
director of the UK business, which is exactly
what he did in July last year.
With Auto Express’s inbox bulging with
E-mails from Jaguar, Land Rover and Range
Rover owners – many describing their
relationship with the brands as at an all-
time low – McGillycuddy agreed to an
exclusive chat with us to answer all the
difficult questions you’ve been asking –
starting with the subject of car security
and its impact on insurance.
Q Why are JLR cars targeted so
much by thieves, and why are
they seen as easy to steal?
“This an industry issue and while thefts are
increasing, ours are decreasing. We have
got highly organised, well funded criminal
gangs who are targeting our high-value
vehicles. It’s not unique to us.”
Q What are you doing about it?
“Vehicle thefts have continued to increase,
but our statistics show that our thefts are
declining significantly. Range Rover thefts
are down 27 per cent, Range Rover Sport
down 29 per cent. So the theft volumes
and number of cars being stolen is
dramatically reducing.
“All those cars have ultra-wideband
technology keys on them. We started that
with model-year 2018, depending on when
each new car went through a model-year
uplift and there have been zero thefts of
those cars through a relay-attack method.
“There’s a second attack method where
once you get in, you can attack the control
module. With our latest cars, we’re able to
“Vehicle thefts have
continued to increase, but

lock that down and make that not a way
to access the car. And that technology we
developed on newer cars, we’re rolling back
to our older cars where it’s compatible.
“We have completed over 80,000 updates
so far and have just started a further round
of updates for an additional 96,000
vehicles. But anything that can have that
technology update applied is absolutely
available for our clients to come in and have
the work done, completely free of charge.
“Once we’ve done the security update,
we have had zero recorded thefts through
relay attack methods or through this body
control module attack method.”
Q What about owners of cars that
can’t be upgraded in that way?
“We’re working hard to understand what the
engineering solution we can retrospectively
apply to those is. We’re also then working
with insurers and asking if the software
update is not an available option, what
solutions work as an acceptable risk
and how do we deploy that? How do we
support our clients in executing that?”
Q You launched your own insurance
product to help owners get insured at a
reasonable premium, yet you’ve been
refusing some owners cover and others
say it’s too expensive. Why?
“Prices have gone up; 50 per cent is the
sector average. When we look at our sector
of premium and luxury vehicles it’s more
like a 60 per cent increase. So it’s a higher-
value product with higher-value parts. We’re

FIRST RIDE
We were able to experience the higher-riding 871bhp Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo
THE Taycan has always had an impressive
range of abilities as an electric saloon-
cum-sports car, but Porsche is promising
that the facelifted version is even faster,
more advanced and more efficient. We
hitched a ride in a prototype – driven by
a Porsche development driver – for an
early taste of the new model and its tech.
Our test car was a Turbo Cross Turismo

As before, the Taycan feels supple
with an underlying tautness over bumps,
but the new car filters out poor surfaces
more effectively than before. Potholes

further into its role as a four-door GT.
It’s still stunningly fast, generating
the kind of knockout acceleration that
pins your skull to the headrest and
leaves your brain scrambling to keep
up. On sub-zero-temperature tarmac, all
four tyres snake around under maximum
thrust, but the Porsche settles as the
speed rises and pulls hard right up to
an indicated 124mph.
We’ll have to wait for a go ourselves
before we can be sure, but for now we
can say that this Taycan feels more
refined, with better isolation at a cruise.
Now that the range has increased to up
to 421 miles (or 371 miles in this Turbo
Cross Turismo), it has the hallmarks of
being a fantastic long-distance car too.

F1 ace Lewis Hamilton to swap
Mercedes for Ferrari in 2025
● Record-breaker will replace Carlos Sainz
● Leaves Merc after six F1 titles with team
Alex Ingram
Alex_Ingram@autovia.co.uk
@AxleIngram
LEWIS Hamilton is bringing to an end one of the most
successful combinations in Formula One history by
electing to leave the Mercedes-AMG team and join the rival
Ferrari squad at the end of the 2024 season.
The move will see the most successful F1 driver of all
time completing only half of his current two-year deal before
moving to the Scuderia, taking the place of Carlos Sainz and
joining forces with Charles Leclerc, who has recently signed
a multi-year contract extension.
The move came as a shock to F1, but Hamilton is no
stranger to dramatic transfers. At the end of 2012 he left
McLaren, the squad he had been a part of since he was
13 and where he secured his first F1 world championship,
to move to Mercedes – a team that had by then achieved
one solitary win in three seasons since its F1 return.
However, it proved to be an inspired decision; Hamilton
went on to secure 82 race victories, 78 pole positions and
a further six world championships with the Brackley-based
team. As a result, he holds the records for the most wins
(103) and pole positions (104) in F1 history, and shares
the record for most world titles with Michael Schumacher.
However, the last two seasons have not been so easy.
Mercedes has struggled to adapt to the new ground-effect
regulations introduced for 2022, allowing Red Bull and Max
Verstappen to blow the competition away.
Hamilton was the highest-placed non-Red Bull driver in
2023’s F1 campaign, but he scored 241 points fewer than
the Dutch triple world champion and failed to win a race
for the second season in succession. Despite the Briton’s
strong finishing position in the standings, Ferrari was often
closer to Red Bull on pure pace; the only non-Red Bull victory
all year came courtesy of Sainz at the Singapore Grand Prix.
Ferrari also took seven pole positions compared with
Hamilton’s single pole for Mercedes in Hungary.
Given that the 2026 season will introduce some
significant rule changes, Hamilton, much like he did in
2013 with Mercedes, is banking on Ferrari adapting to
the new regulations better than the rest.
Where Sainz will end up going remains to be seen.
Moving to Mercedes in a straight swap with Hamilton looks
the obvious choice; however, Red Bull could prove to be
another possibility, with the contract of under-pressure
Sergio Perez up for renewal at the end of 2024.

Five Hamilton moments of Merc magic
FIRST WIN: Hungary 2013
HAMILTON has an astounding record at the
Hungaroring, having taken eight wins there.
It’s a record for the most wins at one venue
he shares with Michael Schumacher at the
French Grand Prix, and matches his own
benchmark at Silverstone. It was no surprise,
then, that his first win for Mercedes came in
Hungary in his first season with the team.
He also scored five pole positions in 2013,
on the way to fourth in the standings. Hamilton’s first Mercedes win came in Hungary
DUEL IN THE DESERT: Bahrain 2014
MERCEDES obliterated the competition
at the start of the turbo-hybrid era, which
meant Hamilton and then-team-mate Nico
Rosberg knew early on that they were set
for a titanic two-way title scrap. Bahrain
produced one of the battles of the season,
where Hamilton, on worn tyres, was left to
fend off a charging Rosberg on fresh boots
after a safety car, with the Brit taking the
spoils. It set the tone for three fiery seasons
of competition between the pair. Battle in Bahrain was a sign of things to come
QUALIFYING MAGIC: Singapore 2018
MERCEDES still had the upper hand on
most rivals in 2018, but many believed that
Ferrari was faster overall. It was Hamilton’s
skill that made the difference, something
he showed in stunning style when qualifying
for the Singapore Grand Prix. In a lap he
himself described as ‘like a dance’, he took
pole by over a third of a second from Max
Verstappen, something that nobody, even
his own team, predicted would be possible. Hamilton had right moves to take pole in ‘dance’
TYRE TROUBLES: Britain 2020
THE 2020 British Grand Prix looked set to be
a comfortable Hamilton win, but Pirelli had
suffered with tyre failures throughout the
race. Entering Brooklands on the final lap,
his front left collapsed, forcing him to drag
his ailing Mercedes round for two thirds of a
lap on three wheels – fast enough to hold off
Max Verstappen’s rapidly closing Red Bull,
but not so quick that he would destroy what
was left of his tyre and risk retirement. Three wheels on his wagon – but still a winner
SELLING THE SEVENTH: Turkey 2020
AT one point, Michael Schumacher’s record of
seven F1 world championship wins seemed
impossible to catch, but Hamilton equalled
the mark, in style, in 2020. Damp conditions
on a treacherously greasy Istanbul Park
circuit saw the Mercedes driver use his
innate talent and feel to complete the race
on bald intermediate tyres, crossing the line
with a winning margin of 31.6 seconds
over second-placed Sergio Perez. Turkish delight as Hamilton matches Schumacher

EXCLUSIVE Government E
REPORT Baroness Kate Parminter, chair of
the House of Lords Environment and Climate
Change Committee (and Nissan Leaf driver),
writes exclusively for Auto Express following the
committee’s inquiry into the UK’s EV strategy
Baroness Kate Parminter
ELECTRIC Vehicles (EVs) have been high
on the news agenda in recent months with
a raft of articles and policy declarations. The
Government announced an end to the sale
of new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2035
to support the transition from fossil fuel
vehicles to EVs, but is it doing enough to
help you decide to buy an EV?
An inquiry by the House of Lords’
Environment and Climate Change Committee
sought to investigate the progress the
Government is making towards reducing
surface transport emissions from passenger
cars through an EV revolution. And reducing
surface transport really matters to a net zero
future, because it is the highest CO2 emitting
sector in the UK. So the switch to EVs is vital
if we are to make those much-needed
dramatic reductions in emissions, alongside
the benefits of improved air quality.
The transition to EVs is a complex
challenge, which requires a sustained and
co-ordinated approach led by Government
across a number of industries and sectors
such as car manufacturing, local authorities,

the EV charging sector and the National
Grid. In some areas the Government has
made good progress towards this target,
including setting mandatory targets for
manufacturers to sell an increasing
proportion of EVs each year. But there are
many areas where the target is off track, and
consumers in particular are being let down
by a combination of poor information,
insufficient charging infrastructure and
barriers to affordability.
We found that progress towards the
2035 target is not happening fast enough,
and many barriers are still in place for
consumers wanting to switch to an EV. For
many the cost of purchasing one is currently
unachievable, especially when compared
with petrol and diesel equivalents. In addition
we found that the range of EVs available is
not yet satisfactory, with too much
emphasis on the luxury and SUV market
and not enough on affordable family cars.
We are calling on the Government to
introduce grants to help with the up-front
cost of EVs, until the market matures and
prices come down. Many of our European
neighbours offer financial incentives to
consumers to make EVs affordable, and the
UK could do more to support uptake. We
also call for the Government to monitor the
range of models available on the market to
ensure that the right range of vehicles is
available to consumers.
Beyond new EVs, our inquiry also
found that second-hand EVs may still be

V strategy needs recharge

EXCLUSIVE The Lords’ EV report findings at a glance
Picture: Stan Papior
THE House of Lords Environment and Climate
Committee publishes the full results of its inquiry into
the UK Government’s EV transition strategy this week.
The report welcomes the ZEV mandate on sales for
manufacturers, as well as recent investments in UK
manufacturing, but calls on the Government to act
much faster – especially when it comes to tackling the
price disparity between EVs and petrol or diesel cars,
and providing incentives to purchase new EVs.
The report also details a raft of other measures
across three areas, that the committee says are
necessary to get the UK’s EV strategy back on track.

CONFIDENCE INFRASTRUCTURE ROLLOUT INDUSTRY

sales of second-hand electric cars,
including developing a ‘battery

with designated parking spaces

unaffordable for the majority of prospective
buyers, in part because of the large
proportion of new luxury and higher-
value cars that currently make up
the second-hand car market.
We recommend that the Government
investigate incentivising the purchase of
second-hand EVs, including options such
as grants or interest-free loans. Consumers
are also anxious about the longevity and
health of batteries in second-hand EVs.
We recommend that the Government
collaborate with industry to develop a
reliable battery health standard to support
consumer confidence in second-hand EVs.
Up to 40 per cent of UK households
are unable to install home chargers and
are entirely reliant on the public charging
network, which in many areas of the UK
is insufficient. The Government has missed
its own targets for the number of EV
chargepoints at motorway service stations,
and the provision of public chargepoints
across the rest of the UK is variable.
In addition to the patchy progress
with the charging network, consumers
remain anxious about whether and
where they can charge EVs reliably,
quickly and at affordable prices. If you
EQUALITY VAT rate for home charging
is cheaper than it is for public sites: the
committee wants the Government to
introduce tax parity between them
have these concerns, you aren’t going
to buy an electric vehicle.
To get back on track, the Government
needs to turbocharge the rollout of public
charging to give consumers confidence that
they can reliably charge their cars. This will
mean reviewing and updating planning
regulations to support chargepoint
installation and further supporting local
authorities to deliver charging equitably
across the regions of the UK.
In addition to being available and reliable,
charging also needs to be affordable. At
present, public chargepoint users face a
higher rate of VAT than those using home
chargers. To redress this disparity, we
recommend that the Government equalise
VAT rates across domestic and public
charging so that EV drivers without access
to home chargers are not being penalised.
As I know, driving an EV has much to
recommend it. It’s quiet and smooth, as
well as having lifetime costs that should be
cheaper than ICE equivalents. There is a lot
of misinformation out there and accurate
information needs to be communicated, as
do the wider societal benefits of improved
air quality and reducing critical emissions.
It’s an urgent job for Government in
collaboration with industry and consumer
bodies. But it must go hand in hand with
overcoming the current barriers to getting
people to adopt EVs – the up-front costs
and a lack of chargepoints.
Only three per cent of cars on UK roads are
currently electric. Meeting the 2035 target
requires a rapid recharging of the current
Government strategy, putting improving
public confidence in EVs at its heart. A
failure to act on our recommendations
means the UK will not reap the benefits of
better air quality and will be stuck in the
slow lane on its climate change targets.

Behind the wheel of some of the greatest cars made

Performance
Handsome 100bhp 1.8-litre P1800 had a 0-62mph
time of 11 seconds and a top speed of 110mph

www.autoexpress.co.uk
 Volvo P1800
Brand’s second take at a sports car was a hit
Matt Robinson
IT’S said that to make an omelette, you first need to
break some eggs. That’s probably the best way to describe
Volvo’s attempts at making a sports car in the mid-fifties.
For its first effort, the P1900, the brand – curiously –
decided to collaborate with a Californian boat maker,
which would make a glass-fibre body for the car. The
result is still quite possibly the worst Volvo built in the
Swedish company’s near-100-year history. Issues with
the model included a bendy frame, ill-fitting doors and
fibreglass that had a tendency to crack.
Then-Volvo president Gunnar Engellau is said to have
borrowed a P1900 for the weekend and come away
disappointed enough to scrap the whole project, with
a mere 68 examples having been manufactured.
Its replacement would be a very different beast. The
P1800 used a conventional steel shell that was built
around a shortened unibody platform taken from the
Volvo Amazon. Many of the mechanicals would also be
sourced from the Amazon. The P1800 was a pragmatic
creation, but it didn’t matter because it looked gorgeous,
thanks to delicate Italian styling from a Ghia subsidiary.
Today, it looks tiny. We’ve been loaned a stunning
example that’s been part of Volvo UK’s press fleet for
the past three decades. This car was built in 1962, which
“The P1800 was a pragmatic
creation, but it didn’t matter
because it looked gorgeous”
www.autoexpress.co.uk
means it was assembled in Britain by Jensen, while the
bodies were made in Scotland by Pressed Steel. Initially,
Volvo didn’t have the capacity to produce the car itself,
but by 1963 that had changed, and further P1800s – at
that point renamed the 1800E – were manufactured in
Gothenburg, Sweden. Scottish production of the bodies,
however, lasted until 1968.
The car feels equally small behind the wheel,
although what certainly isn’t tiny is the steering wheel
which, compared with modern ones, feels more akin to
the helm of a galleon. It sits awkwardly on your lap, with
no way of adjusting it to a more comfortable position.
The P1800’s dashboard features a simple but elegant
design. Split into two sections, the upper part includes
a row of dials, while the lower portion has a neat little
drawer plus an array of push/pull knobs for various
functions, including the fan and the choke.
Our car’s seatbelt buckle feels positively alien
compared with modern equivalents due to its intricate
design, and the metalwork is stamped with a patent
number. That patent – which concerns the seatbelt’s
three-point design – came into effect two years before
P1800 production started, and was immediately made
available to other manufacturers. This ensured the clever
work of Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin would go on to save
many hundreds of thousands of lives.
Inertia-reel mechanisms were still a long way off, of
course, so it feels a little unnerving to have a belt that
never quite fits snuggly. But we won’t be going fast
enough to get into trouble today, with the P1800’s
1.8-litre engine serving up a modest 100bhp. Yes,
it’s reasonably light compared with a modern sports

car, tipping the scales at about 1.1 tonnes,
but put your foot down, and it doesn’t feel
like all that much is happening.
It certainly sounds like something’s going
on though, with the four-cylinder engine
making a lovely growl from low down in the
rev range up to the 6,000rpm peak-power
mark. Changing ratios is done via a fairly slick
four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive,
sitting on top of a transmission tunnel that
eats into the cabin quite dramatically.
There’s a significant dead spot in the
middle of the steering, and after that, the
response is slow, as is typical of cars from
this era. There’s no power assistance either,
so low-speed manoeuvring takes quite a bit
of effort. Meanwhile, the brakes need a fair
amount of pedal pressure before anything
really happens, but they aren’t so bad in
terms of stopping strength, featuring discs
at the front and drums at the rear.
The P1800 is a comfortable car, with soft
suspension that settles quite well after
tackling imperfections in the tarmac. The
other side of that is that you get quite a lot of
lean in the corners. There’s also not a huge
amount of front-end grip on offer either – you
don’t have to be getting that carried away
before the Volvo starts to understeer.
Dynamic standards are a little bit different
all these years on, of course, and in any case,
the P1800 was originally pitched more as a GT
‘It proved reasonably popular, no doubt helped by
its role as Roger Moore’s car in The Saint TV series”
24 7 February 2024
car than a thoroughbred sports model. On
that front, we wouldn’t hesitate to take this
thing on a long jaunt, even if the wind noise
is a little vocal at cruising speeds.
The P1800 must have seemed expensive
when it was new, priced similarly to coupés
made with more exotic ingredients. Plus,
Volvo wasn’t exactly a brand synonymous with
sportiness and desirability. And yet, the car
proved reasonably popular, no doubt helped
by its role as Roger Moore’s daily driver in
the sixties TV series The Saint. Originally,
producers wanted an E-Type, which Jaguar
declined to supply. Jaguar’s loss, Volvo’s gain.
It also helped that Volvo continually
updated the car. Carburettors made way
for fuel injection, the 1.8-litre engine was
swapped for a 2.0-litre lump, and power
steadily increased from the original’s 100bhp
to a healthier 130bhp. Giving further appeal,
Volvo even added a shooting-brake version,
the 1800ES, towards the end of the car’s life.
When production finished in 1973, Volvo
had sold nearly 50,000. A fair few more than
the disastrous P1900 had managed, then.
There wasn’t to be a direct replacement, and
while Volvo has dabbled in coupé models
over the years, none had the same air of
elegance. The Concept Coupé in 2013 was
heavily inspired by the P1800, although by
the time it made production, it did so sans
Volvo branding, becoming the Polestar 1.
Cyan P1800
THE P1800 never had the performance
to back up its gorgeous looks, but
decades on from production stopping,
Cyan – formerly known as Polestar
Racing – addressed this shortcoming.
The result was a meticulously resto-
modded P1800 with a carbon-fibre body,
a stiffened structure, independent rear
suspension to replace the original live
axle, and a 414bhp, 2.0-litre engine from
a Volvo S60 World Touring Car.
When Auto Express drove the model
in 2020, we noted that at £375,000, the
P1800 Cyan was “hideously expensive”,
but concluded “for those lucky buyers
who nab one, every single drive will feel
like an occasion to savour”.

was on sale from 1969. A year later, Volvo
swapped the rear drum brakes for discs.
When looking an a P1800, keep an eye out
for rust, particularly at the sills. But the
whole car needs to be checked thoroughly.
Mechanically you can be assured of the
P1800’s robustness, though. Famously, Irv

Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid
FIRST DRIVE Updates keep plug-in model at the front of the luxury-SUV pack
Steve Sutcliffe
mail@autoexpress.co.uk
AS the transition away from fossil fuels
becomes more complex, petrol-electric
hybrids seem increasingly relevant. And
given that Porsche has been perfecting
hybridisation for more than a decade, it’s
not surprising that the latest electrified
Cayennes are right at the cutting edge.
They aren’t cheap, however. This E-Hybrid
costs £79,800 before options. For that you
get a restyled SUV that’s exquisitely well
made and can sprint from 0-62mph in less
than five seconds, but emits just 33g/km
of CO2, and returns a claimed 188mpg. Not
a bad combination, even at almost £80k.
Those numbers are courtesy of a drivetrain
that mates a 25.9kWh battery and e-motor to
a 3.0-litre turbo V6 – providing a combined
463bhp and 650Nm of torque. The e-motor
alone is good for 84mph, and although the
electric range is only 46 miles, this is nearly
double what the last E-Hybrid could do.
If you have access to 11kW three-phase
electricity, the Cayenne will top up in just
26 7 February 2024
over two hours. Unlike the 75-litre fuel
tank, which can, of course, be filled in
seconds to provide a real-world combined
range of around 400 miles.
Thanks to a range of modifications to
its oily bits, the latest Cayenne is also one
of the sharpest-driving big cars money
can buy – with a four-wheel-drive chassis
that’s chock-full of technology to make it
ride, steer, stop and handle as well as any
large SUV on the market.
This E-Hybrid version doesn’t get the air
suspension (a £1,760 option) or four-wheel
steering (£1,325) of more expensive models.
But if you can afford to do so, both are extras
we’d recommend going for. When fitted, they
enhance the Cayenne’s ride and handling
significantly; on UK roads, where we drove
the car, we’d say the extra sophistication of
the air suspension alone is virtually a must.
Overall we found the E-Hybrid to be a
quietly understated car. Its refinement is
truly excellent and there’s a wide range of
chassis settings (with the air suspension
and 4WS fitted) that provide it with a
serious breadth of dynamic ability. It also
has a smooth but strong turn of pace, which
is connected to an eight-speed gearbox that’s
just about faultless in its operation – in any
of the five different drive modes.
The car’s no slouch (0-62mph takes 4.9
seconds in Sport Plus) but the performance
is effective rather than addictive. In its
Hybrid setting the ride is far smoother
(adaptive dampers are standard), and the
V6 engine’s machinations less intrusive.
But in any of its modes the engine doesn’t
make a great noise, truth be told.
Of course, Porsche has also gently
massaged the Cayenne’s aesthetic. The
result is a smarter exterior, plus some
additional sparkle in the cabin.
The improvements include a new 12.6-
inch screen for the main instruments, plus
the relocation of the drive selector to the left
of the steering wheel. As such, the Cayenne
now feels deliberately similar to the Taycan
“The Cayenne E-Hybrid is no slouch, but its

Performance
0-62mph/top speed
4.9 seconds/158mph
inside – a move designed to ease Cayenne
drivers toward the fully digital cockpit the SUV
will feature when it goes electric in 2026.
Build quality, as we’ve touched on, is
extremely good, although the lack of a
seven-seat option will limit the Cayenne’s
appeal beside rivals from BMW, Mercedes
and Audi – even with a large load area that
provides 627 litres with the seats up and
1,563 with them folded down.
As standard the kit list is fairly generous
for the money and includes 20-inch wheels,
LED lights, Porsche’s famous Sports Chrono
package, dual-zone climate control and Park
Assist. Other notable options include a
panoramic sunroof at £1,509 and an
electronically extendable tow bar for £945.
Other variants, including non-plug-in
V6 or V8s, and a pair of more powerful
PHEVs are also available, with prices
ranging from £70,400 to £130,200.

AS the luxury-focused arm of the
Stellantis group, DS Automobiles relies
on many of the same key components as
Peugeot, Vauxhall and Citroen. But it offers
a more indulgent ownership experience,
too, with its own concierge service. You get
the same amount of pampering even if you
buy the base version of DS’s entry-level car:
a petrol-powered DS 3 in Performance Line
trim – the vehicle we’re testing here.

DS is currently offering £2,000 off with a

 NEWCARS Audi SQ8

Jordan Katsianis
Jordan_Katsianis@autovia.co.uk
@JordanKatsianis
IN the quest to electrify, it’s perhaps
surprising to see the premium family
SUV as evidence of EVs’ rapid evolution. The
Audi e-tron was one of the first all-electric
offerings, back in 2019, but thanks to the
pace at which new EVs are developing, its
mid-life update and a name change were
introduced in the latter half of 2022 – and
couldn’t have come a moment sooner.
We’ve already tried the standard car, and
the model we’re driving here is a top-spec
SQ8 e-tron, with the sleeker Sportback
body. Its basics haven’t changed, though,
so it’s built not on a bespoke EV platform,
but a heavily modified chassis derived from
petrol-powered models such as the Q5.
Featuring upgrades to the battery pack
and electrical systems, the SQ8 e-tron is
the most performance-oriented model in
the range, introducing a second electric
motor to the rear axle, bringing the total to
three. These draw power from an 114kWh
battery pack under the cabin floor. Power
sits at a peak of 496bhp – a figure hardly eye-
catching in a world of 600bhp-plus Kias and
Hyundais. But more interesting is the peak
torque, which sits at a whopping 973Nm.
On-paper performance figures are good,
if not truly spectacular. The SQ8 will reach
62mph in 4.5 seconds, and hit a limited

Audi SQ8 e-tron Spo

130mph top speed. But as is so rarely the
case with EVs, this car isn’t about the
numbers, but the way it drives.
Getting straight to the point, the SQ8
e-tron handles phenomenally well. This is
a heavy car (2,650kg), yet it seems to belie
every one of those kilograms thanks to its
brilliant powertrain and chassis calibration.
Apart from more power, the key difference
between the SQ8 and lesser models is that
the extra motor can vector torque at the rear.
Whether gently augmenting the power
delivery in its comfort-focused modes, or
going for full effect in Sport by aggressively
overpowering the outside rear wheel, the
Audi seems to wipe hundreds of kilos off
its perceived weight. The car feels taught,
controlled and agile, using torque rather
than power to quash the laws of physics.
The SQ8 has different chassis geometry
to the standard Q8 e-tron, retaining its air
suspension system but marrying it to a
slightly wider track, wider tyres and more
aggressive levels of camber. The result is
a firm, but controlled ride quality that feels
more BMW M car than Audi SUV.
Helping the SQ8 in this endeavour is very
clean and accurate steering which, together
with brilliant throttle control and decent
“As is so rarely the case with EVs, this car isn’t
about the numbers, but the way it drives”
FIRST UK DRIVE Latest version of EV flagship faces up to the challeng
brake feel, makes this the best-handling
Audi SUV by some margin. With space and
a slick road surface, the SQ8 seems to
dance around with incredible balance and
composure – a wholly unexpected quality
that to us feels superior to just about every
potential rival, be that Merc’s new EQE SUV
or even BMW’s brilliant iX.
Sadly, though, there is a cost for all this,
and it comes in the form of quite appalling
efficiency. Tested in cool December
temperatures, the SQ8 e-tron displayed a
potential range of just 200 miles, despite
an official rating of around 270. On our
mixed driving route, including sensible
motorway speeds and some town driving,
we averaged just 1.9mi/kWh – some of the
worst figures we’ve seen on any EV. Aside
from feeling a tad wasteful, such limited
range and a reliance on the expensive
public charging network for long journeys
jar with the fact that this is, inherently, a
large and luxurious family car that ought
to be easier to use day-to-day.
Interior space is competitive in the world
of similarly sized combustion-engined
SUVs, but not compared with EV rivals from
BMW and Mercedes. Without a bespoke
chassis to rest on, the usual EV benefits
such as a flat floor and extra storage are
denied. Build quality is excellent, but in the
rapidly moving world of automotive interiors,
it’s already starting to feel a little generic.
If you’re into the latest tech, you also
won’t be bowled over by the car’s digital
interfaces on first encounter. Both of the
touchscreens are smaller than those in
rivals from BMW and Mercedes, but Audi’s
system is still a fine digital companion
that’s easy to operate on the move.
Refinement levels are very impressive too,
although the wide tyres can generate some
roar on rougher road surfaces, and with this
being a top-spec model, there’s no option
for smaller wheels with taller sidewalls.
There are some curiosities when it comes
to the specifications of UK cars, too. Our
entry-level Black Edition car starts at just
under £100,000, yet lacks basic equipment
such as keyless entry and adaptive cruise
control – although these can be added
through option packs. A top-spec Vorsprung
trim level is available for an extra £17,000
or so, adding even larger 22-inch wheels,
matrix headlights, a panoramic sunroof and
camera-style exterior mirrors.
When considered purely on rational
terms, the SQ8 e-tron is invariably left
wanting. It’s an expensive electric SUV
that’s starkly inefficient and left on the
back foot in a segment that sells itself on
innovation and the image that goes with it.
Yet the fact that it drives with such polish
and engagement is definitely worth
championing – especially at a time when
so many of its key rivals are still getting
that part of their new era of EVs wrong.

@DeanGbsn
WHEN is an MPV not an MPV? When it’s
a crew van, of course. These part-van,
part-passenger carriers offer a compromise
for users who need the rugged utility of a
van, but want more than two or three seats
to help them go about their business.
There are plenty of options available,
but Mercedes has introduced a new model
that could be attractive to family buyers who
need lots of space. The Mercedes Vito Crew
Van Night Edition sounds a bit of a mouthful,
but it introduces a range of upgrades to
the Vito that mean it can bridge the gap
between the utilitarian function of the
standard van and the upmarket luxury of the
V-Class executive transport, a model which
uses the same bodyshell as the Vito.
Being the Night Edition, it comes in
Obsidian Black metallic as standard with
colour-coded bumpers front and rear, not
the grey plastic items you’d usually get as
standard. Painting the van black helps to
disguise the crew van layout, because the
rear bodywork blends nicely with the dark-
tinted rear windows of the sliding doors.
There are 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels,
while the grille comes with chrome trim and
is flanked by LED headlights that are the
same as those found on the V-Class.
Inside, the Vito Crew has a six-seat layout
in two rows of three. Again, the Night Edition
32 7 February 2024
adds artificial leather trim, while the driver
and outer front passenger seats are heated.
The fixed rear bench is a little upright for
longer journeys, while the twin front seat is
a carryover from the Vito van, so it doesn’t
slide or recline, but there’s lots of space.
Mercedes has updated the infotainment,
but while MBUX still isn’t offered, the new
set-up has a sharper touchscreen and
there’s smartphone connectivity, too.
Power comes from a punchy 2.0-litre
diesel that has 187bhp in the top-spec
guise tested here. It’s connected to a nine-
speed automatic gearbox, and this really
helps to take the strain out of driving. While
the Vito Crew is rear-wheel drive, the power
delivery is soft enough that the rear tyres
are never overwhelmed – even when the
van is unladen – but there’s more than
enough power to keep pace with traffic.
One of the major plus points of a van- NEED

SO the Vito Crew Van (left) has
plenty of space, but what if you

Well, Mercedes lets you go large with the
Sprinter Crew Van. As with the medium-
sized model it’s a six-seater, but the big
difference – and we mean big – is the
amount of space it has to offer.
Since the Sprinter Crew Van is even
more of a niche purchase than the Vito
version, it actually resides in the options
list for the standard Sprinter panel van.
For £3,115 (ex.VAT) you can upgrade

At two metres tall, there’s standing

With an overall length nudging seven
metres, you’ll also need plenty of space
to park it, and multi-storeys are a definite
no-no thanks to that roof height. The
optional reversing camera that gives a bird’s

@JordanKatsianis
THE Alpine A110 has long been a
beacon of light for passionate sports
car drivers. Its focus on lightness and purity
over horsepower or lap times, has captured
a small but passionate group of fans, and
any new variant is a hotly anticipated
voyage of discovery for those so inclined.
The A110 R is the latest, most extreme,
and most expensive iteration, and despite
boasting no more power than the existing
S and GT variants, costs £96,990. That is
£42,500 more than a base model.
Helping justify the price is a medley of
carbon-fibre components that turn what is
already a special sports car into a miniature
high-end supercar. In addition to the roof,
which could already be specified in carbon
fibre on the S model, there’s a unique
vented bonnet and rear engine cover, both
finished in the same high-gloss carbon.
There is also a range of aero devices
constructed from carbon fibre, including
an aggressive splitter, rear diffuser and
sideskirts, as well as a larger wing mounted
on milled-aluminium goose-neck supports.
Yet the most ambitious carbon application
is found at the wheels, which have different
designs front-to-rear and are exquisitely
constructed under high-gloss lacquer.
Carbon isn’t just a feature of the exterior,
because the one-piece Sabelt carbon seats

no bad thing, with the bucket seats (above)

more alive than in the base cars, too
are made from the black stuff too, with three-
point harnesses replacing the traditional
seatbelts. This is joined by extensive use of
micro-suede throughout the interior, on the
roof, pillars and door cards, as well as the
dash and rear bulkhead that’s now solid as
a result of the R’s carbon rear engine cover.
As well as sharpening the A110’s
aesthetic, the true aim of these new
elements is to reduce weight. The R tips the
scales at just 1,082kg – a 34kg drop over
the S. This might not sound like a massive
difference, but Alpines are lightweight
creatures, and the change is certainly felt.
Put simply, the A110 R drives like a laser-
guided missile. There’s an uncanny ability
to float over the most challenging road
surfaces, with complete control and
composure laced with incredible feel.
Compared with the standard car, which has
a lovely flow, the R is noticeably more locked
down than the S, but with more delicacy
and poise, combining the best of each.
We suspect that, in some part at least,
this is the work of those carbon wheels,
which reduce unsprung weight – a critical
element for any performance car. But there’s

more to it than that. Every element feels
like some serious time and consideration
has gone into its calibration.
The steering, for instance, is sharper
and more alive than in the base cars.
So, too, are the power delivery and the
transmission. And, of course, you’re held
in place by a superb set of figure-hugging
seats that provide a perfect view out over
the low-set dashboard.
Unlike in a Lotus Emira, where the
weight of the powertrain behind you
can sometimes feel like a liability, the
A110 R is perfectly balanced. It goes
about its business with a much lighter
touch even than a rival Porsche Cayman.
The engine might be seen as a
downside to some buyers, because there
are no obvious technical changes under
the carbon-fibre cover. But with less
mass to motivate, the turbocharged 1.8-
litre four-cylinder feels more enthusiastic
than it does in the S and GT variants.
In fact, the reason the A110 R doesn’t
produce more power can be directly
attributed to the seven-speed dual-
clutch transmission, which is already

Mercedes CLA
MODEL TESTED: CLA 200 AMG Line Premium
PRICE: £41,425 POWERTRAIN: 1.3-litre 4cyl turbo petrol mild hybrid, 161bhp
RECENT updates to the A-Class line-up have
also found their way to the CLA, so there’s
a cleaner look and additional kit, including the
introduction of mild-hybrid tech to the petrol
models. Here we’re testing the CLA 200 in AMG
Line Premium trim, which starts from £41,425.
Tech highlights
AS already mentioned, the CLA’s updates mirror
those of the A-Class. That’s because both models
are based on the same MFA2 platform, which
also underpins the B-Class, GLA, GLB and their
electric EQA and EQB equivalents.
The CLA has the same wheelbase as the A-Class,
but it’s longer overall to accommodate its saloon
rear end. The car’s flowing lines and low roof mean
Mercedes has fitted doors with frameless windows,
and that is largely the reason why it’s called a coupé
(plus the fact that an A-Class saloon also exists).
The updates in 2023 concentrated on a
reprofiled nose with a new diamond grille for all
models, plus new LED lights front and rear, while
the latest MBUX infotainment system was added
inside. Mechanical revisions saw the introduction
of a 48-volt mild-hybrid system on the petrol cars
to boost efficiency, but the 1.3-litre powerplant
(which is the result of a joint venture with
Renault) remains the same.
LIGHTING: Mercedes is a market leader for
headlight technology, and all versions of the CLA
have LED units with adaptive main-beam assist
that deliver a bright field of view at night.
Premium Plus models feature Multibeam,
which automatically dips the main beam in
sections when traffic is detected ahead. Also
included are neat start-up and shutdown
animations that activate whenever
the car is locked or unlocked.
38 7 February 2024
On road
IN a world of bloated SUVs, the CLA proves to
be quite nimble, but there are compromises.
AROUND TOWN: Light steering boosts the CLA’s
agility, while all versions come with front and
rear sensors, a reversing camera and park assist to
help you in and out of spaces. However, smooth
low-speed manoeuvres are hampered by a jerky
throttle response and grabby brakes, while a firm
ride means that broken surfaces can be felt easily.
Forward visibility is fine, but while the C-pillars
aren’t as thick as they are in an A-Class, the CLA’s
narrow back window limits rear visibility instead.
A & B-ROADS: Things improve with speed, and
on faster country roads the CLA 200 is more
enjoyable. With 161bhp on tap, it’s not the quickest
car in a straight line, and there’s plenty of noise as
the 1.3-litre engine gets up to speed, but the
seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox responds well
to keep the engine in its power band, and the
chassis offers plenty of grip. The balance is neutral
on the whole, with the car pushing towards
understeer as you reach its limit.
MOTORWAY: High-speed cruising is where the
CLA is at its best, because the engine settles down
to a background hum, while the ride on the
19-inch alloys fitted to Premium-spec cars
smooths out. There’s not much road or wind
noise, either, allowing you to cruise in comfort.
The assistance systems fitted to the CLA aren’t
as intrusive as some other set-ups, either. Where
the Genesis constantly adjusts the steering wheel
to keep you in the centre of a lane, the Mercedes
system works much more smoothly. When you
do cross a lane marker without indicating, the
steering wheel gently vibrates in your hand. WHEELS

 TESTED Mercedes CLA vs Genesis G70
Genesis G70
MODEL TESTED: G70 2.0T Sport
PRICE: £41,470 POWERTRAIN: 2.0-litre 4cyl turbo petrol, 241bhp
THE G70 was one of the launch models for
Genesis in Europe in 2021, although it’s a
facelifted version of a car that originally went on
sale in Korea and the US in 2017. We’re testing it
here in Sport specification with a 2.0-litre turbo
petrol engine. It closely matches the CLA 200 on
price, being only £45 more expensive, at £41,470.
Tech highlights
GENESIS was created as a luxury spin-off from
Hyundai, and the G70 uses technology that’s
shared with other models within the group. Its
platform also featured beneath the now-defunct
Kia Stinger, while the 2.0-litre turbocharged
four-cylinder petrol engine is a variation on
the one found in the i30 N hot hatchback.
Here it’s tuned to produce 241bhp and 353Nm
of torque, figures that are a healthy 80bhp and
83Nm ahead of the CLA 200’s. The G70’s torque
peak is generated at 3,500rpm, though, compared
with 2,000rpm for the Mercedes, so the engine
needs to be revved more to make the most of it.
Drive is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed
automatic gearbox, while a limited-slip differential
is fitted as standard, as are Brembo brakes.
SAFETY: The Genesis G70 earned a five-star Euro
NCAP crash test rating when it was launched in
2021, and it comes with a wide range of driver-
assistance systems as standard. The Mercedes CLA
also achieved a five-star score, but with constant
changes to Euro NCAP’s test conditions, its 2019
rating can’t be directly compared with the G70’s.
Still, both cars feature plenty of safety kit, with
blind-spot detection and lane assist both fitted as
standard. However, we found the Genesis system
rather intrusive, with warning beeps and tugs of
the steering wheel proving to be something of an
annoyance instead of a helpful warning.
42 7 February 2024
On road
THERE’S a sportier edge to the G70 than there is to
the CLA, and it makes its presence felt at all speeds.
AROUND TOWN: As with the Mercedes, a low-
slung, sporty driving position means that the view
out of the G70 isn’t as good as you’ll find in some
rivals. But there are front and rear parking sensors
and a reversing camera all included, so positioning
the car at low speeds is easy. There’s light steering,
too, so turning from lock to lock is a doddle. The
turbocharged engine is smooth and responsive
enough, although the low-profile tyres on
19-inch alloys mean the ride is on the firm side.
A & B-ROADS: Those wheels are wrapped in
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rubber, which is a
compound normally found on high-performance
sports cars. They offer lots of grip, while the
rear-wheel-drive chassis delivers nimble handling
when compared with the Mercedes. The G70 is
around 200kg heavier than the CLA, but it hides
its weight well, and feels well balanced in corners.
The steering remains light, even when you
select the sportiest drive mode, and it lacks
feedback, too. That’s a shame when you consider
that, in contrast to the CLA, the front wheels don’t
have the additional task of sending power to the
road. The Brembo brakes deliver good stopping
power and are resistant to fade, while the
eight-speed gearbox offers smooth shifts.
MOTORWAY: At higher speeds, the G70 still feels
firm where the Mercedes has the ability to offer a
relaxed cruise, and while wind and engine noise
is minimal, road noise from the tyres is ever-
present. It’s on the motorway where the lane-
assist system is at its most intrusive, too, with
constant correction of the wheel in your hands. WHEELS

WHAT TO BUY?
Which version we’d choose

POWERTRAINS There is a single

engine option available, which is the
241bhp 2.0T petrol here. Genesis did
offer a 194bhp 2.2-litre diesel for
a while, which offered claimed fuel
economy of 43.5mpg, but that motor
has been discontinued.

TRIM Entry-level Premium and plush

Luxury specifications were available
at launch, but the current G70 line-up
comprises solely the Sport model.
That’s not much of a hardship, because
to our eyes it’s the best-looking
version, and it comes with a very
long list of standard kit.

OUR CHOICE
Given that there’s no other option,
the 2.0T Sport tested here is our pick.

five-year unlimited mileage warranty on all of

Mercedes CLA VS Genesis G70

MBUX | Key features: Downloadable options, 3yrs online services Genesis navigation | Key features: Bluetooth, 5yrs online services

CHIEF among the updates to the CLA
was the introduction of the latest
Mercedes MBUX infotainment
system. It uses a 10.25-inch
touchscreen, but the company has
removed the control panel that used
to be fitted to the centre console. The
other option you have is to press a
button on the steering wheel and
use the ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice prompt
to change settings.
The screen itself is responsive,
while the display is a step ahead
of the G70’s, with sharp graphics
and lots of functions on offer. The
mapping looks crisp, although it’s
easy to connect a smartphone to
use your own apps, too.
Next to the touchscreen is the
10.25-inch dial display, which has
clear graphics and lots of functions
selected via the steering wheel.
Standard kit included
LED headlights with auto
main beam, keyless entry and
starting, two-zone climate
control, heated front seats,
USB-C sockets, voice control,
10-speaker stereo, wireless
charging, 64-colour LED
ambient cabin lighting
What we would choose
The sole option aside from
colours is a Driving Assistance
Package (£1,495), which adds
adaptive cruise, speed-limit
recognition and active lane
and blind-spot assist. It’s only
available with AMG Line
Premium Plus trim.
WHILE the G70’s central
touchscreen matches the CLA’s for
size, measuring 10.25 inches across,
it doesn’t have quite the same
upmarket feel as its rival’s set-up.
The graphics will be familiar to
anybody who has driven a recent
Hyundai or Kia, but while they’re
good in isolation, they don’t
have the sharpness found with
the Mercedes display.
There’s less functionality, too,
although the essentials are in place,
and the navigation system is
straightforward. There’s smartphone
connectivity on offer for your own
apps, but the voice-control system
isn’t as advanced as the MBUX
set-up. At least there are five years of
over-the-air updates included, and
Genesis Connected Services allow
you to access the car remotely.
Standard kit included
Auto lights & wipers, keyless

climate control, powered

What we would choose
Genesis offers a Lexicon sound
system (£790), sunroof (£960)

Nappa leather is a £2,470 extra.

John McIlroy
Editor-at-large
FROM a financial point of view, this
test is a slam-dunk for the CLA. Based
on a typical three-year personal
contract plan with a £5,000 deposit,
it has lower monthly repayments by
the tune of £162 a month.
The circa £6,000 savings over
three years will be more than
enough to cover a service package
and an official Mercedes extended
warranty that will match the five
years of free servicing and warranty
cover that the Genesis comes with.
In fact, the only plus point of the
G70’s finance package is the
optional final payment if you want
to keep the car, with a total of
£17,231 being £3,319 less than
you’ll need to find for the CLA.
The CLA’s mild-hybrid tech and
lower power output help to keep
fuel costs in check, road tax is £10-
a-year cheaper, and our sample
insurance quotes offer a £1,600
saving over the G70, too.
Private buyers will be better served
by the Mercedes when it comes to
depreciation, too. A retained value of
56.7 per cent is impressive for what
many consider to be an undesirable
body shape these days, and eclipses
the 43.3 per cent figure quoted for the
Genesis. It means that while the G70
will be worth around £18,000 in
three years’ time, the Mercedes only
loses that much in the same period.

Rivals and other options

The Mercedes CLA wins our twin test but what else is out there?

SAME CLASS
BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé
A CAR that’s closer in philosophy to the Mercedes CLA than the Genesis is the 2 Series
Gran Coupé. It also shares its powertrains with a front-wheel-drive hatchback (although
like the CLA, four-wheel drive is reserved for the high-performance versions), while it
has a 430-litre boot, which is 30 litres down on the Mercedes’.
Looks are a matter of personal taste, but the CLA is a smoother design than the 2 Series
Gran Coupé, but both cars have the cabin quality and connected tech that make them
appealing from behind the wheel, while the BMW has a slight edge for driving fun.

● Agile handling ● Tight in the rear seats

● User-friendly infotainment ● Small boot
● Generous standard kit ● Awkward looks

SAME MONEY
Jaguar XF
A RECENT round of price cuts has brought Jaguar’s sporty executive within striking
distance of our two contenders here. Given that it’s a bigger car, there’s more passenger
space in the back and a larger boot, too, but the XF’s rear-wheel-drive layout means it’s
an entertaining driver’s car, while still being a handsome-looking machine, too.
For around £42,000 you can get behind the wheel of a 247bhp P250 with 2.0-litre turbo
petrol power in high-spec HSE Dynamic trim. You won’t be short-changed on tech, either,
because the XF now comes with JLR’s latest Pivi Pro infotainment system.

IT’S around 30 years since I joined Auto

to take for a weekend away was a Hyundai

car on the fleet back in 1994, but goodness
me, Hyundai has come a long way since.
The latest arrival on our fleet is the Kona

easy to see why it won. It arrived in December
and I’ve hardly had a chance to drive it yet,
thanks to a torrent of requests for test and

Unlike the previous generation, this
Kona was designed and engineered from

mirror those of its big brother (and another
Auto Express Car of the Year), the Ioniq 5.
The single-line ‘lightbar’ headlights look
cool and the square pixel rear lights also nod
to Hyundai’s electric range. I’m a big fan.
The interior is decent too, but with a few
slight drawbacks. Mind you, after six months
in the premium all-electric Lexus RZ, I’d
find lots of cars suffer in a comparison of
interior materials, quality and technology.
The Kona more than holds its own in
terms of tech (more on that later), but the

materials feel like a mixed bag. The steering
wheel and seats are certainly comfortable
and suitably soft to the touch, but some
of the plastics inside the cabin are hard,
scratchy and, if I’m honest, pretty cheap
for a car with a list price north of £45,000.
I’m still not totally sold on the brushed-
metal effect across the buttons and dash
surround, either. Part of me thinks they’re
retro cool and a perfect partner for those
pixel lightbars. Yet this same effect looks
cheap and nasty on the Kona’s key fob.
It is great to have buttons to press on the
dashboard, though. Even with two 12.3-inch
touchscreen displays, I can still adjust the
temperature controls with a press. Likewise,
I can select the home screen, navigation,
media or car set-up simply with the push of
a button, before messing with the screen.
It’s ideal, and safer when driving.
Our Kona is packed not only with tech
and safety gear, but also some nice luxurious
touches. Buyers have three trim levels to
choose from (Advance, N Line and Ultimate)
and we’ve gone for the range-topper, then
added a few options – namely metallic
paint, plus the Lux pack, which brings
features such as a memory seat, remote
parking assist and, of all things, a heated
charging door. As standard, our car also gets
heating on the front and rear seats, plus the
steering wheel, along with a wireless phone
charger and an upgraded Bose stereo.
All of this pushes the list price up from
£34,995 for a standard 48kWh Kona in
Advance trim to the aforementioned £45,345
for our 65.4kWh long-range Ultimate.
Our Kona is supposed to have a range of
around 319 miles between charges. But the
most that I’ve managed to get it to display so
far is 242, then 232 miles after the last two
overnight charges from my home wallbox.
I put that down to January temperatures
and expect it to rise as the weather improves.
All Kona Electrics come with a heat
pump, which aims to help warm the car
without decimating the range. It seems to
work, too; even with the heating blasting
out on colder mornings, the range falls far
less quickly than in my old Lexus.
Early impressions are that the Kona
Electric is an easy car to drive, set up for
comfort rather than performance. It doesn’t
feel heavy like some EVs, though, and it’s
quite agile, without being sporty. Plus it’s
quick enough about town – and refined.
There is an exhaustive list of safety tech
fitted, and I’ll explore that more in a future
report, but Hyundai allows the driver to
actually drive; the tech is supportive and
doesn’t impose itself with as many alerts
and beeps as in some cars. Plus there’s

always the option to further fine tune which
alerts are required among the settings.
I have no issues with practicality either.
With 466 litres of boot space, plus decent
underfloor storage, it’s more than enough
for my family. There’s plenty of room in the
rear for three adults or two large child seats.
An interesting final point is people’s
perceptions of brands. A couple of family
members have mentioned that it must be
a comedown to switch from a Lexus to
Hyundai. “Far from it”, is my reply.
I’m much more comfortable in the Kona,
which is more my level: a fair bit cheaper,
less ostentatious and still with most of the
bells and whistles (but without the beeps).
Once those same family members have had
a lift, they might see how far Hyundai has
come since the days of that Accent.

 OUR CARS Living with a Vauxhall Astra GSe
Vauxhall Astra GSE PHEV
FIRST REPORT British brand’s new plug-in hybrid hatch joins our fleet
Kim Adams
products@autoexpress.co.uk
THE return of a car with a plug to the
Adams’ drive required a few spiders
to be made homeless before I could take
advantage of our Astra’s PHEV tech.
The Wallbox charger had been dormant
for almost a year when the Astra arrived and
had become clogged with webs, leaves and
other debris. A quick wipe and the charger
was ready, but there was no chance to use
it before the Astra was parked up for more
than a week through no fault of its own.
A country lane at night, low-profile tyres
and a pothole added up to a three-hour wait
for recovery and another hour to get home
in our ill-fated first trip in the GSe. There’s
no spare in the Astra thanks to its batteries,
(which also squeeze boot space), and no
sealant can fix a pothole pinch puncture in
the sidewall a couple of centimetres long.
Then, Vauxhall’s tyre partner ATS hardly
covered itself in glory getting the Astra
back on the road. Thanks to a missed

from wallbox
appointment, it was a week later before
we could tackle our second trip in the car.
After running a series of pick-ups and
SUVs, the hatchback’s low-profile tyres,
combined with the state of the roads where
I live, have left me feeling a touch vulnerable
to another tyre failure, particularly at night.
The ride has also taken some getting
used to. Compared with my previous cars,
the Astra is on the firm side, particularly on
uneven surfaces at low speed. And despite
the nod to previous Vauxhall performance
models in its name, the GSe doesn’t seem all
that sporty, with the steering lacking feel.
The problematic start to life and a long
break abroad over Christmas mean I’ve done
few miles in the car so far. Without battery
assistance, the Astra showed fuel economy
of 38mpg, but that jumped to 48 after we
began to plug-in each time we were at home.
Charging from the Wallbox takes around
four hours, thanks to the optional 7.4kW
charger (£500). Each full charge saw 11kWh
or so being used, not far off the battery’s 12.4
capacity. Despite this, we’ve yet to see an
“The GSe doesn’t beg to be driven hard, but
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by its power”
electric range of more than 20 miles, while
the WLTP figure is 40. No doubt this is due to
the colder temperatures, and it will rise when
the weather improves. The Astra works well
in electric mode, but while the regenerative
mode does add some charge to the battery,
it makes driving smoothly with the
already-sharp brakes even more tricky.
While the GSe doesn’t beg to be driven
hard, we’ve been pleasantly surprised
by the power on full throttle once the
slow gearbox has dropped a few ratios.
It’s one of several elements we already
like. The head-up display is an asset, too, and
works well with the steering wheel controls,
while the infotainment is clear and links
with Apple CarPlay wirelessly, although a few
of the menus take some fathoming out. One
we know well is turning off the lane assist to
remove the intrusive tugging on the wheel
when moving from the centre of the lane.
The cold weather may have hit the electric
range, but there’s plenty to keep the driver
warm, including heating for the front seats
and steering wheel; the latter works very well
and has been welcome
during the cold snap.
The electrically heated windscreen has
also been appreciated, clearing the screen in
a few minutes, and saving on the de-icer and
frozen fingers on frosty mornings. Another
bonus is the wipers with built-in washers,
which have been working overtime, thanks
to the filthy winter roads. They clean very
effectively, with no missed spots, although
the momentary loss of vision as they start
to pump takes a little getting used to.
It’s also been a while since I’ve run a white
car and the grimy roads have left their mark.
Normally I’d deal with it myself, but with
temperatures close to freezing, I’m reluctant
to turn my drive in to a skating rink. Until it
warms up, I’ll leave it to the local car wash.

Nissan Ariya
IT’S time to extend a warm welcome to the Nissan Ariya as it joins our
test fleet. The car, complete with optional (£745) Ceramic Grey paintwork,
arrived with under 8,000 miles on the clock and is in Evolve trim. Its list
price is just under £55,000, but the Sport Pack (20-inch alloys and blue
Nappa leather inside) and battleship paint job take the price to £57,580.
Over the course of our test we’ll see how well the Ariya justifies that
figure when compared with other pure-electric SUVs. Our first impressions
are that it’s definitely a comfort-focused family SUV rather than one with
sporty pretensions. The cabin is roomy and the big screen spanning the
dash is impressive, although not as high-resolution as in some rivals.
There’s a heat pump on our car, but even with that taking the strain
off the 87kWh battery in the cold weather, the first few charges are only
giving an indicated range of around 210 miles, against an official figure
of 285. Efficiency is hovering around two miles per kWh, but we’re hoping
for some improvement on that as the test continues.

NEW PRODUCT
Thinkware F70 PRO dash cam
Price: £119 Contact: thinkwaredashcam.eu
IF keeping screen clutter to a minimum is a
priority, the latest dash cam from Thinkware
could be just the thing for you.
Developed from the F70, this PRO version
adds built-in WiFi and a time-lapse mode when
the car is parked, while the maximum capacity
of its MicroSD card doubles to 128GB.
The new version uses a 140-degree wide-
angle lens and a 2.1MP CMOS sensor to capture
footage at 30 frames a second in 1080P full HD.
Thanks to its Advanced Video Clear technology,
the unit will provide sharp images, it’s claimed.
It also has motion and impact detection
while the car is parked, and drivers can opt
www.autoexpress.co.uk
for continuous recording of time-lapse footage
at two frames per second.
As an option, you can get a £20 GPS antenna,
to add the date, time, position and speed stamp
to footage, as well as activating safety camera
alerts. Meanwhile, a cable that connects to the
OBD port and starts the parking mode is £29.99.
Bluetooth and WiFi are also built in to pair
with Android or iOS devices for access to, and
retrieval of, footage. The F70 PRO has anti-file-
corruption technology to protect recordings, too.
The cam also features thermal protection of
the supercapacitor in high temperatures, moving
it to low-power mode to prolong its lifespan.

FAQ
Why do car batteries
struggle in winter?
WE all know we are much more likely Smart
to struggle or even fail to start our car CTEK’s CS
when the temperatures drop, but the One tailors
reasons for that are less well known. the charge
On the mechanical side, the cold oil is to the state
thicker, which makes the engine harder of the battery
to spin, but at the root of the problem
is the battery, which delivers less
power in cold temperatures than
when the weather is warm or hot.
We asked charger specialist CTEK
to explain the reasons why, and it’s
all down to chemistry. Electrical energy
is produced by chemical reactions and
these slow down when it’s cold because of the reduced
mobility of ions in the battery’s electrolyte. As a result,
not only is the battery’s ability to deliver current reduced,
but its capacity to accept a charge also drops.
The increased resistance in the battery makes it harder
for it to deliver the power to turn a motor. At 25 degrees C,
a fully charged battery has all its power available, but at
9 C that drops to 66 per cent, and 40 per cent at -20 C.
Long periods at low temperatures can lead to the
electrolyte freezing, and this has the potential to damage
internal components, meaning they require replacement.
The problem is compounded if the battery is not fully
charged. At full capacity, electrolyte will only freeze at
-33 C, but at 40 per cent charge, that rises to -8 C.
All is not lost, though, and one upside of low
temperatures is that they slow the sulphation that
leads to permanent damage and reduced battery
capacity. That’s the case when up to capacity, but
if it’s partially charged, the risk increases again.
That’s why it pays to regularly charge a battery during
winter rather than waiting for the dreaded ignition click
as the engine fails to spin and start. For the most efficient
way of topping it up, look for a charger with a winter
mode, which matches the current to the conditions.
Some smart chargers like CTEK’s CS One analyse the
battery and automatically tailor the input to its state
and the ambient temperature.

RECOMMENDED AS ever
from a Ryobi tool, this is high
in quality, feeling seriously
solid, albeit a bit heavy, at
1.45kg (with a 2Ah battery).
We really like the
ability to turn the head
through 360 degrees,
selecting a suitable 90-
degree interval simply
by lifting a locking collar.
This makes it possible to
reach many fasteners that
would otherwise be more
difficult, especially given
the position of the battery
in the base of the tool.
The 18V motor made
short work of all our torque
tests. As usual from Ryobi,
the wrench is sold as a
bare unit, so the prices of
a battery and charger also
have to be factored in if you
don’t have them already.

SIMILAR in basic design to the Sealey

AC Delco tool is about 50 per cent
heavier, at 1.25kg.
Like our Durofix winner, it comes
with seven chrome sockets, along with
the charger and two batteries, making
it ideal for longer jobs, as well as good
value. With a quoted maximum torque
of 61Nm, it performed well but stalled
a couple of times during the test, due
to its lower rpm figure.
We quibble with
having no on/off
switch, which means
the motor can be used
accidentally. Plus the
speed control doesn’t
offer much variance,
because it’s very
much on or off.

FORD is a company that makes cars
accessible, thanks to its wide model ranges
and large production volumes. For those
buying used, these factors have always
made the firm’s wares even more tempting,
courtesy of keen prices, and that’s certainly
the case where the Kuga is concerned.
Compact SUVs started to become popular
in the early noughties, and while some of
Ford’s efforts around that time weren’t all
that accomplished (think Maverick and
Explorer), by 2008 the Mk1 Kuga had been
launched. It was just what buyers wanted:
a road-biased SUV that was good to drive,
looked smart and offered decent value.
The sequel provided more of the same,
while the third take was even better when it
was unveiled at the end of 2019. We ranked
it top of the class at the time, in fact.

History
THE Kuga Mk3 hit the UK in January 2020.
Just one petrol engine was available – a 1.5-
litre EcoBoost unit with 119bhp or 148bhp.
Diesel fans could choose between 1.5
and 2.0 EcoBlue engines. The former came
only in 119bhp form, while the latter was
offered with mild-hybrid (MHEV) tech in
148bhp guise, or there was a non-hybrid
187bhp option. There was also Ford’s first
ever plug-in hybrid (PHEV), a 222bhp car
with a 2.5-litre petrol engine.
A year later, a full hybrid was introduced,
with a 2.5-litre petrol engine. Sold as the

BUYER’SGUIDE: Ford

A 19TH place (out of 75 entries) in the 2021 Driver Power

there’s no shortage of highlights, including 13th for safety
features, eighth for infotainment, 12th for visibility and 10th
for the brakes. A 19th spot for value is also very encouraging.

PETER Crowle from Huddersfield, Yorkshire, owns a 2020
Kuga 1.5 EcoBlue. He commented: “What swung it for me
were the driving experience and value, along with the clear

there’s lots of equipment. I’ll keep it for now, but I might

Which one?
THE diesels have decent muscle (entry-level
models aside) and are frugal, while petrol
models cost more to buy and the fuel bills
will be higher. The plug-in hybrids make
sense if you can charge at home and don’t
do mainly long-distance motorway trips.
All Kugas are well equipped, with the
entry-level Zetec having 17-inch alloy
wheels, a heated windscreen, an eight-inch
touchscreen, cruise control, plus front and
rear parking sensors. Titanium models
have 18-inch wheels, a powered tailgate,
keyless entry, dual-zone climate control,
digital instrumentation, a 10-speaker hi-fi
and a rear parking camera.
Vignale adds a heated steering wheel,
leather trim, heated rear seats and 19-inch
rims. The ST-Line Edition has a bodykit, and
the ST-Line X gets heated front and rear
seats and steering wheel, plus a glass roof.

the Toyota RAV4 promises reliability and a

but leads its class as a superb all-rounder,
so it’s worth a look if the Kuga is too big.

FORD has recalled the Kuga eight times so far, with three

be damaged, the second time because the battery pack
could overheat, while the third recall was because of
short circuits within the battery pack.
Just one Kuga diesel was recalled in September 2020,
because of a faulty auxiliary heater, then in May 2021,
100 Kugas were recalled because of eCall software
glitches. This led to another recall in July 2022, just days

 BUYING CARS Safe superminis

£12,000 to buy a safe supermini for someone downsizing

THE PRACTICAL CHOICE

Honda Jazz
FOR: Astonishingly reliable, versatile, roomy, frugal
AGAINST: Limited engine choice, disappointing CVT auto

ON sale from 2015 until 2020, the Jazz Mk3

is popular with older drivers thanks to its
excellent all-round visibility, ease of driving
and user-friendly ergonomics. When it was
launched, there was only a 101bhp 1.3 petrol
engine, with manual or CVT auto gearboxes,
but in February 2018 a 128bhp 1.5-litre unit
arrived, to coincide with a facelift.
These later cars are within budget and
whichever engine you go for, there are lots of
autos and manuals available, many with low
mileage, often in the hands of one doting owner.

THE SMART CHOICE

Toyota Yaris
FOR: Well equipped, efficient engines, hybrid option
AGAINST: Disappointing interior quality, cramped cabin

EVER since the original Yaris appeared 25

years ago, Toyota’s supermini has been an
easy car to live with, thanks to its excellent
reliability, light controls and compact size.
The Mk4 was launched in 2020, but a £12k
budget won’t secure one of these, so you’ll
have to settle for a late Mk3, which appeared in
2011. This makes it the oldest design here, but
that’s no hardship, because you’re still getting
a car with a five-star Euro NCAP rating (just like
all of these cars), and Toyota kept the Yaris
fresh with facelifts in 2014 and 2017.

THE POSH CHOICE

Volkswagen Polo
FOR: Roomy and high-quality cabin, safety kit
AGAINST: Inert handling, relatively costly

NEXT year will mark half a century since the

Polo made its debut; the Mk6 went on sale
in the UK in October 2017, with the first cars
delivered the following January. Whereas the
original Polo was very compact, the latest
edition is much the same size as the original
Golf, which means the cabin is surprisingly
roomy for what’s still a relatively small car.
In typical VW fashion, the Polo isn’t the
best-value option, but there’s a wide model
range, availability is excellent, and this is
also a very safe car, with plenty of standard
kit, including auto emergency braking.

72 7 February 2024 www.autoexpress.co.uk


BUYING a supermini used to mean having
to settle for the absolute minimum in terms
of creature comforts, safety kit and performance,
but some recent small cars are as luxurious as
family models were just a few years ago.
The very best of the breed boast impressive
infotainment systems, luxury items such as
heated steering wheels and seats, plus lashings
of safety kit. As a result, you no longer have to

Maria didn’t mention an automatic gearbox, Maria Simpson, Via E-mail

emphasis on safety, usability and comfort, all
while costing relatively little to buy and run.

THE larger of the Jazz’s two engines is usefully more
sprightly, but it came only with range-topping Sport
spec, whereas the 1.3 engine was offered with a
wider range of trims. We’d recommend a high-spec
1.3 EX, which adds a rear parking camera and climate
control to the SE’s standard-fit front and rear parking
sensors, automatic lights and wipers, plus
powered windows all round.
Jazz prices vary wildly, and £12k gets a 25,000-mile
manual 1.3 EX, or an auto with 40,000 miles, both
from 2018. Shop around, and you could find a 25,000-
mile 1.5 Sport on an 18-plate for the same money.

BUY a facelifted Mk3 and the engines were a 71bhp
1.0-litre or a 1.5-litre petrol unit in 110bhp or 99bhp
hybrid forms. The latter was sold only with an auto
box, but the former came in manual or auto forms.
For someone who will be doing a low mileage
and mainly local journeys, the hybrid model makes
sense. And with a £12,000 budget, a 30,000-mile
Icon Tech edition on an 18-plate is within reach.
Hybrid editions feature more standard equipment
than other cars, and on this model that includes
Road Sign Assist, a speed limiter, a reversing
camera, parking sensors and climate control.

WITH a £12,000 budget there are a lot more Mk5s
within reach than Mk6s, but while the later car looks
much like its predecessor, there were some major
advances in terms of space efficiency and safety, so
it’s worth picking one of the newer cars, if possible.
That £12k budget is enough to buy a mid-range
2018 1.0 TSI SE manual with 25,000 miles on the
clock; or how about a 40,000-mile 18-plate 1.0 TSI
SE with an automatic gearbox?
The Polo (like the Yaris) did come in three-door
form, but only the Mk5 edition; the Mk6 came with
solely five doors. The VW was also offered with a
diesel engine, but the great majority of Polos for
sale have five doors and a petrol engine.
