“not done retro”

New 5 gets personal

RENAULT clearly believes the 5 has MINI-
like potential for personalisation. The
brand is promising an extended range of
accessories for the 5, including French-
centric items such as a wicker baguette
holder that clips onto the centre console.
But visual treatments can vary too,
with a selection of graphics that can be
adjusted for colour and finish, across
the car’s exterior and interior.
There are also already plans
for ‘collections’, curated

offered as limited

Reborn Renault 5 is all
ready for new adventure
John McIlroy
John_McIlroy@autovia.co.uk
@johnmcilroy
A STELLAR concept car can often be
a challenge to turn into a production
version, with real pressure to deliver
something close to the show vehicle. That’s
been precisely the case with the reborn
Renault 5, presented here in the MINI
and Fiat 500-rivalling form that you’ll
be able to buy in the UK this autumn.
The 5 is a baby EV with a choice of battery
sizes, seating for five people and a boot
capacity that’s the equal of many larger
superminis. And having been walked
around the vehicle in the studio by
Renault design chief Gilles Vidal, we can
confirm that the production 5 looks every
bit as stunning as its preview concept.
The production version sits on a fresh
architecture called AmpR Small – developed
by Renault Group’s Ampere EV division, and
www.autoexpress.co.uk
● We view production version of brand’s eagerly awaited EV hatch
● UK to get more powerful models when 5 goes on sale this autumn
renamed from its original title, CMF-BEV. The
platform has been conceived to support
pure-electric vehicles, but to help cut almost
a third from the development bill, engineers
made heavy use of the front end of the
petrol and hybrid-powered Clio and Captur.
With an overall length of just 3.92 metres,
the 5 is compact. That makes it longer than
conventional city cars such as the Hyundai
i10 or Fiat’s 500, but shorter than pretty
much any modern supermini. Renault says
the 5 is nine centimetres shorter than a Clio
overall, but that the wheelbase is only four
centimetres shorter. Unusually for such a
small vehicle, its standard wheel size is
18 inches, a key way of delivering on the
concept’s promised stance.
The biggest visual difference on the
production car comes at the front, where
Renault’s design team has played around
with the headlights. The final execution
references Manga comic characters to help
give the 5 even more of a facial expression
– something that the car builds on by
‘winking’ one of its eye-like headlights
towards the keyholder as they approach.
Renault has retained the distinctive air-
intake motif on the bonnet – another nod to
classic small Renaults of the past, such as
the 5 and the original Twingo. The modern
reinterpretation isn’t an intake at all, but
instead a display that can show charge levels
and indicate when the vehicle is plugged in.
The side features the same hidden rear
door handle as the show car, and a slightly
higher roof profile than the Clio (the 5 is six
centimetres taller), while at the rear, Renault
has dropped its usual logo (still present on
FEATURES
Boot capacity is 326 litres; bonnet ‘air
vent’ is really a charging indicator; all
trims gets a 10-inch infotainment screen
the nose) and replaced it with the company’s
name and a specific 5 badge.
Customers in continental Europe will be
able to buy the 5 with an entry-level 94bhp
motor, but UK buyers are expected to be
offered just the two more powerful options,
with 121bhp/225Nm of torque and 148bhp/
245Nm. We will get both battery options,
though – 40kWh with the 121bhp motor,
and 52kWh with the 148bhp unit. Renault
UK plans to offer both set-ups across a wide
variety of trim levels, allowing drivers to pick
a better-specced version with the shorter-
range battery, if it suits their lifestyle.
The 148bhp/52kWh combination will be
the initial launch spec; the brand says that
this set-up can take the 5, which weighs just
under 1,500kg in big-battery form, from
0-62mph in less than eight seconds, and
50-75mph in less than seven seconds. The
top speed is 93mph. Renault has yet to
issue any official range figures, beyond

saying that the small-battery edition could
manage around 186 miles (300km)
between charges if used in town, while the
52kWh version should be able to travel up
to 249 miles (400km) between charges.
The smaller battery gets 80kW DC
charging, while the larger pack can be
refilled at up to 100kW, which means a
15-80 per cent top-up can be achieved in
just under half an hour. A heat pump is
likely to be standard on all UK versions, and
the car and battery can be preconditioned
via Renault’s smartphone app.
In addition, all UK models should feature
11kW AC bidirectional charging, allowing
you to hook up to a three-phase AC wallbox
(more common at commercial premises
than at UK homes), power a device from the
Renault (vehicle to load), or use the car to
help manage power flow within the network
by feeding electricity back to the wallbox
(vehicle to grid) – a feature that some
electricity suppliers offer discounts through.
The 5 will have a ‘B’ setting for more
aggressive brake-energy recuperation, but
at launch, the car won’t be able to be driven
in a single-pedal mode. Renault engineers
say the feature could be introduced in a

future model-year update, although it would

require extra hardware.
Inside, Renault has aped elements from
the original mid-engined Renault 5 Turbo,
with an H-shaped motif on the seats.
Finishes range from a denim material made
from recycled PET bottles, to a vivid mix of
heather-yellow and grey produced from
recycled fabric. Based on the cars we spent
time with in a Paris studio, material quality
is up there with a Clio’s, with most harsher
finishes hidden away in areas that you’re
unlikely to interact with.
The entry-level version has to make do
with a seven-inch digital instrument panel,
instead of the 10-inch item fitted through
the rest of the range. But all editions get a
10-inch central infotainment system.
Inside, the cabin feels a little tight for four
taller adults, but respectable given the 5’s
compact dimensions. The boot capacity is
326 litres, around 60 litres down on a Clio’s,
although 27 litres of that is beneath the
floor, where it’s all but certain to be used
to store the car’s charging cables.
In time, the range is set to feature three
core trim levels: Evolution, Techno and
Iconic Cinq. Evolution versions will get the
10-inch infotainment screen along with
keyless entry and start, 18-inch alloys,
wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay,
and full LED headlights with auto high-beam
functionality. Step up to Techno trim and
you’ll get Google integration in the
infotainment system, a reversing camera
“Renault’s aped elements from the original mid-engined
and wireless smartphone charging, while Renault 5 Turbo, with an H-shaped motif on the seats”
Iconic Cinq brings a two-tone paint job,
heated seats and steering wheel, front
and rear parking sensors and additional
design embellishments.
Five colours will be available at launch:
white, black, dark blue and two ‘pop’
shades, the yellow of the concept and a
vivid metallic green. These finishes can
be customised with a choice of graphics
that will be offered “at the end of the
configuration process”, plus there’s a choice
of three alloy-wheel designs, all 18 inches.
The new 5 will be built in north-west
France, as part of Renault’s ‘Electricite’
manufacturing base in the region. There’s
no word yet on UK pricing, and while
Renault says the car will cost from 25,000
Euros in France, that would be for a more
basic model than those offered in the UK,
and include the country’s substantial
electric vehicle incentives.
As a result, we’d expect Renault UK to
position the 5 north of the incoming batch
of cheap EVs, led by Citroen’s e-C3, and at
a more affordable point than the latest MINI
Cooper Electric, at around the same price
as the zero-emissions Fiat 500. That could
give the model, complete with the smaller
battery and more modest motor, a starting
price of around £25,000.

Renault 5 and Alpine A290
Alpine A290 driven
James Taylor
THE Renault 5 already has a hot sister,
the Alpine A290 – and we’ve now tried a
development version of the car at the brand’s
base in the frozen north of Sweden.
While the two cars are closely related,
Alpine’s performance version is being worked
on separately. It has its own design of front
suspension, wider dimensions, more power,
different brakes and unique driving modes,
among other distinctions.
The final, production-spec Alpine A290 will
be revealed to the world in June, and the first
deliveries are expected by October.
We’re driving two different prototypes on
the frozen lake that Alpine uses to develop
the car’s powertrain, braking, low-grip
handling and stability safety systems.
Although the cars are camouflaged,
it’s possible to make out the A290’s shape
and its features, with a chunky, wheel-at-
each-corner stance – just as with the 5.
While the dashboard is clad with black
fabric to disguise its final design, the car’s
steering wheel is fully exposed. It has two
key additions for the Alpine, both inspired by
the steering wheel in its F1 cars: an ‘OV’ (for
‘Overtake’) button, which gives an extra shot
of power from the motor, and a switch to
adjust the amount of regenerative braking.
As with the Renault R5, the A290
production car is a single-motor, front-wheel-
drive car, albeit with a different, more
powerful motor. It uses torque vectoring by
braking to help put its power down to the ice.
With the drive mode set to Normal, it’s
remarkable how stable and controlled the
A290 is, no matter how clumsy you are with
the pedals or steering. In Sport, it allows a
certain amount of sliding, but remains very
safe and controlled. In true sports-car style,
it is possible to fully disable the stability-
control system, and let the A290 slide to the
point where you’re looking at out of the side
windows rather than the windscreen.
Alpine has worked hard to make the A290
feel easy and intuitive to drive, and its
steering, braking and accelerator maps are
all designed to feel very similar to those of
TOPSTORY
FIRST DRIVE
the A110 sports car. Vice-president of
engineering Robert Bonetto says the team
has deliberately avoided the shock and awe
of a very sensitive accelerator pedal.
Instead the throttle response, while
certainly smart, places more emphasis on
being smooth and progressive. If drivers do
want dramatic acceleration, that’s where
the OV button comes in. Pressing it gives
an instant bump in power, pushing you
back in the seat. Release the button and
everything returns to normal.
Likewise, Alpine hasn’t gone overboard
with the regenerative braking system, using
the Recharge switch on the wheel. In Eco
mode there is barely any braking from the
motor, which Alpine says is actually the
most efficient way of conserving energy.
Toggling the switch allows you to change
through three levels of energy recovery,
from a mild deceleration similar to the
normal engine braking that you would ICE ONE

have a relatively affordable price; however,
it is expected to be considerably more
expensive than the Renault 5.
Alpine has committed to producing
seven new EV models by 2030, under the
ambitious plans of Renault CEO Luca de
Meo. This is the only new Alpine model that
will share a platform with Renault; future
Alpines, including a new electric SUV and
an electric sports-car successor to the A110,
will be built around a brand-new structure
that will be specific to Alpine.
Verdict
THE A290 represents a significant first step in the all-electric
expansion of the Alpine road-car brand. And based on this
brief first experience, it will be a well rounded, characterful
(and fun) pure-electric hot hatchback.

Wraps off MG3 as hybrid
Ellis Hyde
Ellis_Hyde@autovia.co.uk
@EllisDrives
THE all-new, Mk2 MG3 has finally been
unveiled – more than a decade after
the current model was launched – and is
aiming to disrupt the supermini class and
challenge the Renault Clio and Toyota Yaris.
Revealed at the Geneva Motor Show this
week, the MG3 looks to make several leaps
forward from the original. Chief among them
is the use of MG’s first full-hybrid powertrain,
similar to those used by the Yaris and Clio.
The ‘Hybrid Plus’ system features a 1.5-
litre four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric
motor to drive the front wheels. Combined
output is 192bhp, with up to 250Nm of
torque available from the e-motor alone.
A separate generator motor is used
to feed the MG3’s 1.83kWh battery, or
directly to the main electric motor if need
be. Meanwhile, the petrol engine is linked to
a three-speed automatic transmission that
MG claims is more responsive than a CVT.
The main benefit of the hybrid powertrain
is efficiency, with the new MG3 officially
10 28 February 2024
● Second-generation supermini has firm’s first full-hybrid powertrain
● Chinese brand claims auto-only hatchback can return up to 64mpg
capable of returning up to 64mpg, with CO2
emissions of 100g/km. This is aided by the
car’s ability to drive on EV power for short
periods, and at up to 50mph in electric mode.
But with the e-motor producing 134bhp
– more than the petrol engine, in fact – MG
says it handles much of the heavy lifting,
including accelerating, before the engine
has to lend a hand or take over.
As a result, the new MG3 can sprint from
0-62mph in eight seconds, compared with
more than nine seconds for its Clio and
Yaris rivals. The MG also needs just five
seconds to get from 50-75mph – useful
when joining the motorway, for example.
Design-wise, the MG3 is defined by a
gigantic grille that stretches across its face.
This is flanked by a set of similarly large air
intakes, with a carbon-fibre-effect splitter
below. But the rear is a simpler affair.
There are elements that are shared with
the all-electric MG4 hatchback, too, such
as swept-back lights, flowing bodywork,

driver-assistance systems, such as adaptive
cruise control and lane-keep assist. Top-
spec Trophy cars add heated leather-style
seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless

 NEWS McLaren Artura Spider

Artura Spider loses roof a

Richard Ingram ● Open-top model joins line-up

Richard_Ingram@autovia.co.uk
@rsp_ingram
AS is traditional, McLaren has taken
a hacksaw to the roof of its latest
production model to create the Artura
Spider. The maker claims performance is
“almost indistinguishable” when compared
with the coupé, thanks in part to a 19bhp
power boost that will also be made
available to existing Artura customers.
With the roof up, the Spider looks nearly
identical to the coupé. In fact, the nose is
unchanged, and only once you reach the top
of the A-pillars do you notice any visual or
aerodynamic tweaks. Here, a pair of gurney
flaps have been incorporated into the top
of the windscreen to help reduce buffeting
when the roof is lowered.
The Spider uses the coupé’s carbon-fibre
monocoque construction, and McLaren says
most of its additional weight (62kg) comes
from the retractable hard-top. Made from
carbon fibre, it operates in 11 seconds at
speeds of up to 31mph. McLaren product
director Jamie Corstorphine told us there
is “no loss of rigidity” with the top tucked
● 0-62mph takes 3.0 seconds
beneath the carbon-fibre tonneau. The roof
can be specified with electrochromic glass,
which McLaren claims will block up to 99
per cent of sunlight. Customers can lower
the rear window independently of the roof.
With the top stowed, visibility is improved
by a set of transparent glazed buttresses
unique to the Spider – a feature that
incorporates the rollover structure, as well
as aiding airflow to the back of the car.
There’s further trickery around the engine
bay, necessary due to the fact that the 3.0-
litre twin-turbo V6 is completely covered
when the roof is tucked away. The cooling
vents and ‘hot vee’ chimney are located
further back on the Spider, for example,
while there’s an additional pair of rear
deck inlets unique to the drop-top.
That aforementioned performance boost
comes courtesy of a recalibrated hybrid
powertrain, although the extra 19bhp is
provided solely by the V6 engine. Total
combined output is 690bhp, while peak
torque stands at 720Nm, with its delivery
“McLaren’s first series-production plug-in
hybrid supercar loses its roof, but none of its performance”
apparently optimised by “minor changes
to electronic mapping”. McLaren says the
Artura Spider will accelerate from 0-62mph
in 3.0 seconds and do 0-186mph in 21.6
seconds. Top speed is limited to 205mph.
The maker is using Spider’s unveiling
to introduce a new launch-control setting it
dubs its ‘Spinning Wheel Pull-Away’ feature.
This burnout function disengages the ESC
to allow for “dramatic wheelspin when
accelerating from a standstill”.
To ensure customers feel the full aural
benefit of its new open-top supercar,
McLaren has tweaked the exhaust with a
new valve system, which Corstorphine says
gives a cleaner sound to envelop the driver
and passenger. An optional sports exhaust
will also be offered; the system uses
genuine sound waves to send extra noise
from the tailpipe into the cabin.
Of course, being a plug-in hybrid, the
Artura Spider is capable of running without
its engine for short periods of time. Despite
there being no change to usable capacity,
increased efficiency means the battery now
allows for a slightly longer 21-mile EV range.
Other changes over early Artura models
include a new set of engine mounts, revised
damping, and gearbox tweaks for faster
responses. There are also new wheel
options with weight-saving Titanium bolts,
and ‘Stealth’ black badging for all models.
The McLaren Artura Spider is available to
order now, priced from £221,500 (£32,300
more than the coupé), with first customer
deliveries expected in the summer.

Dodgy reg numbers

served on a 24-plate
THE DVLA has revealed its list of new-
for-2024 number plates judged too saucy
for the streets, and there are plenty of
potential shockers on the banned list.
Twice a year, in March and September,
the DVLA issues the new combinations
of letters and numbers featuring the new
‘age identifier’. These combinations
appear on the plates of newly registered
cars, but there’s also a list of banned
plates that will never see the light of day
This time around, it’s the ‘4’ in ‘24’
that’s causing problems, due to its
similarity to the letter ‘A’. So luckily for
the prudish – or the merely polite –
number plates such as AS24 OLE, BA24
TDS, W24 NKR, SL24 GSS and SH24 GED
won’t be seen on the roads this spring.
New KGM Torres lands in the UK
THE brand formerly known as SsangYong

the KGM Torres, and it marks a significant
milestone in the company’s rebranding. CHUNKY
Torres is about
Launched under fresh ownership from
the size of a
KG Group, the Torres is a large SUV that’s Nissan X-Trail,
about the same size as the Skoda Kodiaq but is a five-
or Nissan X-Trail – but unlike those seater only
models, it’s a five seater only.
An all-electric version, badged EVX, is
also on the way, equipped with a 73.4kWh
battery and a 201bhp motor. But at launch
the Torres features a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine producing
161bhp and 280Nm of torque. It comes with a six-speed
automatic gearbox and, on the entry models, front-wheel drive;
a four-wheel-drive edition will follow later in the summer. KGM
claims a 0-62mph time of 9.8 seconds for the car.
Prices start at £34,995 for the K30, rising to £37,995 for
the K40, and £39,995 for that version with four-wheel drive.

Treasury backtracks on
pick-up truck taxation
NEW rules that would have seen company
car Benefit-in-Kind tax charges applied to
double-cab pick-ups have been scrapped
by HMRC – a week after being announced.
The U-turn follows HMRC’s decision to
update guidance on double-cab pick-up
trucks, when the Treasury announced that
from 1 July this year they would no longer be taxed as goods
vehicles. Instead they would be classed as cars for the
purposes of calculating capital allowances and Benefit-in-
Kind (BiK) liabilities for drivers, closing a perceived ‘loophole’
where company users benefit from private mileage while
avoiding thousands of pounds of company-car BiK tax.
The Government says it has “listened carefully to farmers
and the motoring industry”, and acknowledged that the
guidance would have been inconsistent with its support of
both sectors, so double-cabs will continue to be classified
as commercial vehicles for company-car purposes.

Fusilier is smaller than Grenadier, but looks just as rugged
Ineos is charging ahead
with first electric model
BEHOLD, the new Ineos Fusilier: the eagerly awaited electric
off-roader from the makers of the divisive Grenadier 4x4 and
upcoming Quartermaster pick-up truck.
The new Fusilier isn’t quite as long or tall as a Grenadier,
but the resemblance is clear, thanks to the circular LED lights,
flared wheelarches and slab-sided shape. It also features a
similar split tailgate arrangement to its bigger brother.
Given that the new car will be offered as an EV (and a PHEV),
Ineos had to find new ways to direct airflow and minimise the
drag, without taking away from the functional design. But
there’s no blanked-off front end as on some electric SUVs; the
Fusilier gets active shutters that open or close depending on
whether cooling or range-efficiency needs prioritising.
The Fusilier sits on a skateboard platform and will have
battery cells made by Samsung in Korea and then assembled
into packs in Hungary, before being shipped to the assembly
plant in Graz, Austria. Boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe previously said an
Ineos EV would do around 400km (249 miles) on a charge.
The Fusilier was always expected to be an EV, but Ratcliffe
and his team decided late last year to add a range extender
to the line-up, with a small petrol engine that tops up the
battery, rather than driving the car’s wheels directly. Both
versions of the new model are likely to arrive in 2027.
Vauxhall takes positive

THERE’S a new entry-level version of the Vauxhall Corsa
Electric in showrooms. The Yes Edition uses a 50kWh battery
for a range of up to 221 miles, and it cuts the car’s base price
by £5,500 to £26,895, which is £100 less than an MG4.
The Yes Edition has a unique look, with black wheels,
mirrors and badges, plus Record Red paint and a contrasting
roof. Inside there’s a 10-inch touchscreen, climate control
and keyless go. The new model will be available to order
exclusively online from 17 April.

Learners face a ‘lottery’ when
booking test, says Marmalade
● Never-ending backlog predicted as 5m learner
drivers fight for 1.8m driving test slots in 2024
Chris Rosamond
Chris_rosamond@autovia.co.uk
FRUSTRATED learner drivers looking to
take driving tests will be dismayed to
learn that demand in 2024 could exceed
capacity by a staggering 177 per cent.
The claim follows crunching of official
data by young driver insurance specialist
Marmalade, which has estimated that
5,004,282 learners will be fighting for
just 1,808,148 test slots this year.
Marmalade claims the data also reveals
that the Driver and Vehicle Standards
Agency’s (DVSA) capacity to conduct
driving tests is a third lower than
required, and that the service will
again be overwhelmed, leading
to a “huge rollover” of tests into
2025. The firm has warned that
“the backlog might never end if
capacity doesn’t increase”.
Breaking down the figures shows
that demand for driving tests every
month in the UK runs to 195,982, but
the average monthly DVSA capacity
is only 144,429 test slots. In January,
527,722 test slots were booked for the
first half of the year, as instructors push
candidates to book tests as soon as
possible. And according to the insurer,
the backlog will be compounded every
month as demand overtakes the DVSA’s
efforts to reduce wait times for tests.
The DVSA system is overseen by chief
executive Loveday Ryder, who says, “We
strongly urge learner drivers only to book
their driving tests when they are ready to
pass”. Ryder claims the agency is “taking
all measures it can to reduce waiting
times”, and says it has already generated
over 40,000 extra tests per month.
The advice is seemingly falling on
deaf ears, as instructors continue to
advise their candidates to grab test
dates as soon as they can – potentially
Toyota sets £37k price for new Prius

alloys, a 12.3-inch central touchscreen and dual-
zone climate control. Range-topping Excel spec
(£39,995) adds 19-inch wheels, heated and cooled
front seats, and a digital rear-view mirror.
www.autoexpress.co.uk
L-PLATE LOSERS
According to Marmalade, test
capacity is a third too low
rescheduling their slots if the test day
arrives and they’re not yet ready to pass.
“My advice to learners is, if you’ve done
your theory, get your test booked now,
but only take it if you’re confident and
ready to pass, based on the advice of your
instructor. And be prepared to reschedule
it if you’re not fully ready,” said instructor
Mark Steeples, who can’t foresee a return
to pre-Covid test availability.
“Learner drivers are being impacted
by this backlog and a disparity between
the capacity for testing and this high
demand,” says Marmalade’s head of
insure relations, Chris Lawson. “Until
capacity can increase, we don’t believe
that the backlog will ever end. It will only
get worse and learners will continue to
face a lottery when securing a test.
“This backlog and the pent-up demand
opens up learners to a risk of exploitation
as third parties take advantage of that
desperation, which we’ve seen recently.”

Juke injected further interest into higher-riding cars, but
in a cheaper, more compact package. By using the ‘B’
platform shared with the likes of the Micra and Note, the
firm could carry over a range of tried and tested small
engines, plus keep the weight down, and the price low.
Today, almost every supermini has a lifted, compact-
SUV equivalent built on the same architecture and
sharing an identical set of engines. But back then, this
was a revolutionary idea, and one that was clearly worth
pursuing, with the Juke clocking up 136,000 European
deliveries in its first year on sale. Nissan’s competitors
took note, and imitators soon followed.
The Juke’s popularity came despite its Marmite looks.
These shouldn’t have come as a surprise when the car
was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010; the
Qazana concept that previewed it at the Swiss event the
previous year was as mad as a box of frogs. Inevitably, it
had to be toned down, but not by much. It still tapered in
the middle in the old-fashioned ‘Coke bottle’ style with
cartoonish wheelarch bulges at either end, and it kept
the weird split-light design with 370Z-like upper sections
that housed the indicators and daytime running lights,
rather than the headlights.
It was inevitable that not everyone would be fond of
the looks. The Juke has been a staple of ‘ugliest cars’
articles ever since, if not appearing quite as frequently as
the likes of the Pontiac Aztec and the SsangYong Rodius.
It certainly stood out at the time, but nearly a decade and
a half on, there are so many of these about that they now
blend into the background.
And so, when approaching the 2012 example lent to
us from Nissan UK’s heritage fleet, there are no feelings
of shock or revulsion, merely cool indifference; it’s just
such a familiar sight. Things get more interesting on the

this being a range-topping Tekna model. Heated
seats, cruise control and climate control are
among the highlights. The latter feature works
out of a neat-looking digital screen towards the
bottom of the central stack, and wouldn’t look
out of place in something much more modern.
Further up is a small infotainment system with
a colour touchscreen and sat-nav. Despite its
age, the system is actually pretty useable.
The vast majority of Jukes sold in the UK were
front-wheel drive, but this is one of the rare 4x4
examples. Unfortunately, opting for four-wheel
drive meant being lumbered with a continuously
variable transmission (CVT). Front-driven Jukes all
used either five or six-speed manual gearboxes.
CVTs have improved in recent years, but in
2012 they weren’t brilliant. As such, there’s that
usual feeling of disconnect between throttle
inputs and how the car responds, with the engine
speed proving erratic when you put your foot down.
You can live with it, though, and the 1.6-litre
‘DIG-T’ turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine
is reasonably refined. It’s powerful, too, offering
187bhp. Were this a manual Juke, it could hit

tidying up the aesthetics a touch), this is a
debate that still rages for this segment.
Buyers clearly don’t care, though. Demand for

THE Juke is the newest car we’ve
looked at in this series so far. As such,
supply is plentiful, and you shouldn’t
need to worry too much about issues
relating to rust or reliability. That is
so long as you stick with a manual
car, because there are reports of the
CVT misbehaving. It’s expensive to
put right when it goes wrong.
With there being so much choice,
it’s worth avoiding the base-spec Visia
trim level, which doesn’t come with
much in the way of equipment, and
opting for the mid-grade Acenta or the
range-topping Tekna. N-Tec was later
added to slot between those two trims.
If your budget allows, you might
want to opt for the 2014-on facelifted
model, which came with improved
equipment and tweaked looks. There’s
also the sportier Nismo and the later
Nismo RS to consider, but neither of
these is particularly thrilling to drive.

THE future is electric for the Volkswagen

Tiguan. At last year’s Munich Motor
Show, CEO Thomas Schäfer said Tiguan
(alongside the Golf and GTI nameplates) is
a badge that will live on into the EV age. So
does that shift in focus mean Volkswagen
has taken its foot off the gas for this all-new,
combustion-engined, Mk3 model?
Certainly, the latest car doesn’t push the
envelope in terms of looks; at first glance
you might even mistake it for the outgoing
model. But playing it safe with the styling
makes more sense when you consider that
the Tiguan is Volkswagen’s global best seller.
Jump inside and the first thing that
strikes you is that the interior is almost a
carbon copy of the new Passat’s. In our
test car’s case, that’s mainly thanks to the
massive 15-inch infotainment screen in the

middle of the dashboard, which is a £1,100
option on Life models and up. As standard,
all cars get a 12.9-inch screen and a 10.25-
inch ‘Digital Cockpit Pro’ driver’s display.
We know Volkswagen is reverting back
to more physical controls in its cabins after
heavy criticism of its touch-sensitive sliders.
Unfortunately, the new Tiguan has arrived
too soon to benefit from this change of
heart. But the buttons beneath the screen
are at least backlit, and the revised set-up
allows you to skip to a certain volume or
temperature just by using two fingers on
the panel. We approve of the fact there are
physical buttons on the steering wheel, too.
Back to that massive screen, and as we
found out with the ID.7 recently, the new
infotainment system doesn’t have the
most intuitive menu layouts. We’d like the
shortcut toggles to be more prominent, but
the screen is perfectly responsive, with a
brilliantly clear resolution. Volkswagen
seems to be back on form when it comes
to interior quality, as well – and the all-
new Tiguan is certainly testament to this.
Our car was the middling Elegance
model, sitting below the range-topping
R-Line. Beneath these versions you’ll find
the entry-level edition, referred to simply
as ‘Tiguan’, followed by Life and Match.
While the basic trim level does look a
little dull, it should feature the same solid
feeling we found in the Elegance. However,
Volkswagen Tiguan
FIRST DRIVE Evolution is the name of the game in third-gen SUV
it misses out on our car’s lashings of
chrome and leather, plus useful technical
touches such as three-zone climate control,
heated and massaging front seats, adaptive
cruise control and a 360-degree camera.
The new Tiguan is longer, wider and
taller than the old model and feels it inside.
Even tall adults should have no problem
getting comfortable in the rear seats, and
Volkswagen has done a good job of making
the cabin feel airy, with decent visibility all
round. Boot capacity stands at 652 litres,
which is more than you get in the Toyota
RAV4, Ford Kuga or Renault Austral, and 37
litres more than in the outgoing Tiguan.
Our car featured the 2.0-litre TDI diesel
engine with 148bhp and 360Nm of torque,
a unit we’ve become quite familiar with over
the past few years. It’s still a great option
in the Tiguan; maximum torque arrives at
1,600rpm and from then you’ll find there’s
a smooth delivery of power. Mated to the
seven-speed DSG gearbox (again, a unit
that we’re well acquainted with), the focus
is very much on offering a remarkably
composed and refined drivetrain.
The Tiguan sits on the latest iteration of
VW’s MQB evo platform, and there is some
room for adjustability with its dynamics.
Shift from Comfort to Sport mode and the
Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) system
firms up the dampers, adds weight to the
steering, and holds onto its gears for longer.
The DCC is the same set-up you’ll find in
the new ID.7 and comes with 15 levels of
damping. You have to manually change it
using the screen if you want the maximum
stiffness – although we wouldn’t bother,
because it doesn’t increase engagement
all that much, yet it does have a noticeably
detrimental effect on the ride. That’s true of
the steering and gearbox calibration, too.
Should you fancy chucking the Tiguan
around a bit, you’ll find it a surprisingly
stable vehicle in bends. There’s not much
communication from the steering, however,
and the diesel engine in our front-wheel-
drive car lacked the responsiveness or grunt
to really get the pulse racing. That said,
along with four-wheel-drive petrol offerings,
some more powerful plug-in hybrids will join
the range later this year, with either 201bhp
or 268bhp. Thanks to a larger 19.7kWh
battery, their impressive all-electric range of
62 miles is double what the old car offered.
Despite the claimed gains for the PHEVs,
efficiency for the 2.0-litre TDI has dropped.
This Tiguan is a little heavier than before,
so the car we tested emits 3g/km more CO2
(149g/km), while fuel economy takes a hit,
with the combined figure now 43.2mpg.
That is at least a reasonably realistic figure;
during our test we saw close to 40mpg.
Alloy-wheel sizes range from 17 inches
on the base car to 20 inches on the R-Line.
Our Elegance model came on 19-inch rims
and we found the Tiguan to be pretty refined
overall, with road and wind noise mostly
kept at bay. But then, we only drove it on
relatively smooth roads in the south of
France; the true test will come when we
try the car in the UK in the spring.

@AxleIngram
THERE are plenty of examples of new
cars with prices that cause us to double
take, and it’s usually for the wrong reasons.
But when a premium brand such as Volvo
announces that the entry-level version of its
new, all-electric small SUV will kick off from
£33,795, it’s a surprise of the pleasant kind.
Here is a well established premium brand
releasing a new car for a price that isn’t just
undercutting the cheapest version of one of
our favourite EVs, the Hyundai Kona Electric,
it’s also giving a host of newcomers from
the Far East a run for their money.
Although the entry-level model is the
one grabbing headlines with its price, we’re
driving the top-spec model here: the EX30
Twin Motor Extended Range Ultra. It takes as
long to say that name as it does for the car
to sprint from 0-62mph: a faintly ludicrous
3.6 seconds. For reference, that’s the same
as a Bentley Continental GT.
But let’s look at the EX30 range more
generally first, because it sits in compact car
territory that the brand hasn’t really explored
since the C30 from almost two decades ago.
The EX30 is almost identical in length to its
ancestor, but as fashion dictates, it now
takes the shape of a small crossover rather
than a three-door hatchback-cum-coupé.
Its price point pitches it against a long list
of rivals, too; that means anything from the

EQUIPMENT Front seats are as comfortable

feature electric adjustment, and cheaper Plus
models still get heaters for the seat and wheel
Jeep Avenger to the Volkswagen ID.3, plus
the aforementioned Kona. But among those
rivals, plus a host of Chinese disruptors,
the EX30 is the only one that’s from an
established premium brand, which for many
buyers will put it on a strong footing. Then
there are the specs; £34k gets you a single-
motor model with 268bhp, plus a sizeable
69kWh (64kWh usable) battery.
There have been cost-cutting measures
to achieve this price, but at first glance,
Volvo has done well to disguise them. There
are four interior themes, known as ‘lounges’
in Volvo speak, which finish the dashboard
and seats with woven fabrics and recycled
materials – including one that’s made
from upcycled denim, and another from
old PVC window frames. The overall effect
not only looks unique, but also makes the
cabin feel more expensive and special than
in any other car at this price point.
Typically for Volvo, the dashboard design
leans heavily on a minimalist aesthetic, but
in some areas, we feel it’s gone too far.
Almost every function is controlled via the
touchscreen; in some areas, such as the

John McIlroy While there’s no denying the
John_McIlroy@autovia.co.uk eDrive30’s performance punch,
@johnmcilroy the ride quality lets the iX2 down
FOR the second generation of X2, BMW
has treated its oddball crossover to a
total rethink. It’s available as an EV for the
first time, and is also switching bodystyles.
In simple terms, the X2 moves from
being a car that was neither a proper SUV
nor a realistic five-door hatchback, to a true
coupé-SUV sister to the X1. You can buy the
newcomer with a choice of petrol engines,
but it’s also being offered as an electric iX2.
The EV range starts with the iX2 eDrive20,
which has a single front-mounted motor
with 201bhp and 250Nm of torque, and a
64.8kWh (net) battery that’s good, BMW
claims, for a range of between 272 and
283 miles. Rapid recharges are possible
at up to 130kW, so a 10 to 80 per cent
top-up should take around half an hour.
This model costs from £51,615.
For those who want their electric coupé-

BMW iX2
SUV to deliver the straight-line speed to
match the looks, there’s the iX2 xDrive30
that we’re driving here. It has dual motors –
one on each axle – producing 309bhp and
494Nm of torque, making this a car with
real shove (0-62mph takes 5.6 seconds).
The battery capacity remains the same FIRST DRIVE Second take on
as in the eDrive20, though, so you pay a
price in range, which drops to between 259 X2 formula gets big rethink
and 267 miles. And the price increases to
£57,445 car, which seems a lot of money.

Sports
At least both iX2s come only in M Sport
trim, which brings a fair amount of standard
kit. You get 19-inch alloy wheels, Alcantara
upholstery, heated front sports seats,
a powered tailgate, climate control, a
10.25-inch digital instrument panel and
high-gloss exterior trim elements.
Also included is BMW’s latest OS9
infotainment system, based on a 10.7-inch
central display – but as with the latest X1,
without any sort of rotary iDrive controller.
It’s touchscreen prods or nothing here.
Inside, the first thing that strikes you is
that this X2’s cabin finish is on a completely
different level from the first car’s. There are
perhaps a few too many textures visible on
the dashboard, but there’s no faulting the
materials or the quality of the switches. It
feels every bit a £50k car – just as it should.
Flick the simple toggle gear selector into
D to pull away and you’ll be impressed by
the smooth power delivery and excellent
electric-motor refinement. There’s a firm
edge to the suspension at lower speeds –
an early reminder that the chassis has been
set to cope with a 2.1-tonne vehicle.
That impression of mass is something
that the iX2 struggles to shake, sadly. There’s
instant punch all right – enough for the car to
feel properly rapid when joining a motorway
or squirting between corners – but equally,
it never quite feels like a model with more
than 300bhp and almost 500Nm of torque.
The ride never quite settles either, with
what seems to have been an overriding
focus on keeping the body flat at a fast
cruise (tip: think autobahns), resulting
in a stiff primary set-up that no amount
of softened-off rebound damping can

Front-wheel-drive eDrive20 versions of
the iX2 have a single electric motor, while

overcome. Indeed, chuck the iX2 around
on a genuinely bumpy road and you’ll find
that it struggles to get out of its own way,
as the car fights to settle between changes
of direction. The steering is consistently
weighty but devoid of feedback, too.
The weird thing is that the iX2 is never
genuinely uncomfortable; it’s tied down in
most scenarios. Yet we can’t help feeling
that a little more compliance would have
allowed a bit more body roll, but delivered
a more composed performance overall.
Elsewhere, the in-car tech would be
better without such heavy reliance on the
touchscreen, but there are sensibly placed,
permanent shortcuts on display for the

BMW X2 M35i
FIRST DRIVE Is performance X2 a winner?
John McIlroy
John_McIlroy@autovia.co.uk
@johnmcilroy
BMW hasn’t forgotten about petrol
power with its reborn, rethought X2.
There’s understandable focus on the
electric versions, but you can also get
the car with three-cylinder power and,
if you want a lot more performance, as
this X2 M35i xDrive.
This variant packs four-wheel drive and
a 2.0-litre four-cylinder motor pumping
out 296bhp and 400Nm of torque. It’s
good for 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds, but
comes in just under £50,000 – slightly
less than where the iX2 starts, in fact.
The M35i gets a bespoke chassis
tune, complete with adaptive (frequency-
selective) dampers and a 15mm lower
ride height. But we should probably cut
to the chase at this point and say that
these modifications are not enough to
deliver an entertaining drive.
The powertrain plays a big part in
this feeling of mild anticlimax; the four-
cylinder motor is a solid performer rather
than a spectacular one. It doesn’t sound
particularly characterful and the dual-
clutch gearbox isn’t as slick as the eight-
speed torque-converter auto that you’ll
find in beefier, full-blown M cars.
But it’s the handling that disappoints
most. While the X2 M35i is keen enough
to hang on through long, faster corners,
it’s reluctant to be thrown about on twisty
roads, where it responds with either
understeer or a generally unsettled feel as
it shifts its taller body around. The ride
is, for the most part, pretty compliant,

 NEWCARS Skoda Kamiq
Ellis Hyde
Ellis_Hyde@autovia.co.uk
@EllisDrives
SKODA has become known to many for
its SUVs in recent years, whether that
be the boxy and beloved Yeti, all-electric
Enyaq or seven-seat Kodiaq. But right now,
its best-selling SUV globally is also its
smallest; the Skoda Kamiq arrived in 2019,
and remains a rival to big-hitters such as the
Ford Puma, Renault Captur and VW T-Cross.
Being in one of the most hotly contested
segments of the new-car market means
competition is fierce, and there are fresh
or facelifted models arriving on nearly a
bi-monthly basis. So Skoda decided it was
high time that the Kamiq was given its own
mid-life spruce-up, including styling
refinements and new technology.
The aim with the design updates was to
give the Kamiq a more robust look. Up front,
the grille is bigger and stands more upright,
while the bumper has been tweaked to
emphasise the car’s width and incorporate
a new silver three-slot diffuser that Skoda
claims provides underbody protection. It’s
probably not rated for rock crawling, but it
does help the car to look a little tougher.
The Kamiq’s distinctive daytime running
lights still feature, but are much thinner than
before. The main light units are chunkier
and available for the first time with matrix-
LED tech – standard on top-spec models, or
as an optional extra lower down the range.
Infotainment
Every Kamiq has dual displays, plus wireless
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Entry-level
SE cars get an eight-inch digital instrument
panel and an 8.25-inch infotainment
touchscreen, but our European-spec test car
featured the upgraded 9.2-inch display that
UK SE L models will also get. This is crisp
and very quick to respond. The car also had
the equally sharp 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit
screen that will be fitted to SE L Kamiqs in
the UK. There are various layouts to choose
from, including full-screen mapping.
Also new are the USB-C charging ports
that can deliver up to 45 Watts of power,
which is enough juice to charge a laptop.
Meanwhile, the wireless charging pad is
three times more powerful (up to 15 Watts),
and has a cooling function to prevent your
smartphone from getting too hot.
Skoda knows it’s the little touches such
as these that buyers appreciate. Plus the
brand has not added fiddly touch-sensitive
climate controls as part of this update,
instead sticking with good old-fashioned
physical dials and buttons – just on a more
modern control panel.
Overall, the Kamiq’s interior has a mature
and high-quality feel to it. We particularly
like the addition of the fabric dashboard to
help create more of a living-room aesthetic.
Hard scratchy black plastic is used for the
door panels and other less frequently
prodded areas, but the same goes for
almost every small SUV in this segment.
The Kamiq is very spacious inside. Rear
passengers have loads of room, particularly
headroom, plus space under the front seats
for their feet. Two adults would be very
comfortable in the back, and while the boot

out in front of you and the raised-up seating
creates the illusion that you’re at the helm
of a much larger car.
The other big takeaway from our drive
was the supple ride, because the soft
suspension rounds off impacts from
potholes and bumps very nicely. We did
notice a fair amount of road noise coming
through on the German autobahn, although
a good deal of that will be the result of the
larger wheels and winter tyres our car was
riding on. However, the relatively small
door mirrors and slim rear window don’t
do much for visibility.
Our test car featured the range-topping
powertrain: a 148bhp 1.5-litre four-cylinder
petrol engine and seven-speed DSG
automatic. The engine is smooth and
delivers plenty of power for effortless
acceleration, while gearchanges are almost
seamless. The gearbox didn’t miss a step as
we weaved through quaint German towns,
and the stop-start system was quick to wake
the engine when we wanted to move off.
The only gripe we had with this particular
set-up was the surge in revs when we made
sudden requests for power, such as when
overtaking, needing to accelerate quickly
away from a roundabout or when joining the
motorway. But once you lift off the throttle,
the gearbox seems to require a few seconds

Max Verstappen will be
aiming for his fourth
consecutive drivers’ crown,
while Red Bull will be
looking for a seventh

Can Dutch master Max Verstappen’s stranglehold on

the podium be ended, or will it be business as usual?

@AxleIngram
THE 2024 Formula One season is nearly
upon us, and there’s only one question
on everyone’s lips: can anyone beat Max
Verstappen? The Dutchman is on the verge of
becoming an all-time F1 great, but there is a
range of talented youngsters and two hugely
experienced multiple world champions who
want to end his and Red Bull’s dominance.
Who’s most likely to challenge for the crown,
and what changes for 2024 will influence how
the season pans out? Our eight-page preview
highlights the main things to look out for.
MORE RACES
THAN EVER
EXPECT to see lots of exhausted faces in the
paddock in 2024, with the F1 circus set to travel
to 24 different destinations this year; that’s two
more than in 2023 and more than any other
season in F1 history. While the first race starts
this weekend in Bahrain, the season won’t
close until F1 returns to the Middle East for the
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on 8 December.
The two additions to this year’s calendar
are both returning races; the Emilia Romagna
Grand Prix is back in the calendar after severe
flooding around Imola forced the race to be
cancelled last year, while the Chinese Grand
Prix takes place in April in Shanghai after a
four-year Covid-enforced hiatus.
Two weeks ahead of the Chinese round will
be the Japanese Grand Prix, which moves from
its typical slot towards the end of the season
to round four in the calendar. The Azerbaijan
Grand Prix moves in the other direction, and
will take place on 15 September.
SPRINT WEEKEND
OVERHAUL
OF those 24, the rounds in China, Miami,
Austria, United States (Circuit of the
Americas), Sao Paulo and Qatar will all host
sprint weekends. The sprint format has been
tweaked for this year; previously, drivers
would dive into Friday qualifying for the
main race following just one on-track
practice session, with Saturday dedicated
solely to the sprint race.
This year, however, the first day will host
one free practice and sprint qualifying, with
the sprint race taking place the following
morning, ahead of qualifying for the main
race. It’s worth noting some subtle calendar
tweaks elsewhere, too. Traditionally, full races
take place on a Sunday, but this year those
held in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Las Vegas
are all Saturday races. As before, the sprint

winner takes eight points, counting down to

SMALL
REGULATION
TWEAKS
AS with the teams and drivers, many of
the regulations have remained fairly stable
moving from 2023 to 2024, but there are
one or two minor changes to look out for.
The one which will likely have the most
potential to influence the spectacle comes
with the DRS regulations. Previously, drivers
would have to wait for two laps following a
race start or restart before they could open
the flap in their rear wing to increase top
speed and close in for an overtake. This has
now been reduced to a single lap.
At certain races this year, the most eagle-
eyed fans might spot an extra vent or two pop
up around the driver’s cockpit. This change
enables more cooling for the driver – an
allowance made following the sweltering
Qatar Grand Prix last year. A longer calendar
means more power units; each driver has an
allocation of four, up from three previously.
NEW TEAM
BOSSES
WHILE the driver market is remaining very
stable, the team principal line-up is almost
unrecognisable from as recent as 18 months
ago. Ferrari, Williams and Sauber all
appointed new bosses ahead of 2023, and
2024 will see just as many changes.
The news that Bruno Famin, who took on
the role of Alpine team principal in July, will
continue full-time was confirmed back in
February, while Ayao Komatsu replaces the
departing Guenther Steiner at Haas. Ferrari’s
former racing director, Laurent Mekies, moves
60 miles down the road from Maranello to
Faenza as he heads up the newly rebranded
Visa Cash App RB squad.

ALPINE
INTERVIEW
AT the launch of Alpine’s A524 car we
got up close with the team’s drivers,
French compatriots Esteban Ocon
and Pierre Gasly. Both agreed that
last year didn’t go as planned, with
the team finishing sixth in the
constructors’ championship and
Ocon and Gasly finishing 12th
and 11th respectively in the drivers’
championship, despite securing a
podium position each.
At the firm’s Enstone factory in
Oxfordshire, Gasly told us: “The
whole car is different, from front
wing to suspension to chassis,
power unit integration, side pods,
floor. You don’t expect one specific
piece to make a huge improvement,
but it’s a whole package, which
should bring more potential.”
The 28-year-old, who joinedAlpine
in 2023, added: “We know it’s going
to be tricky at the start of the season.
We’ll have a lot of workto do in the
first half of the year to develop and
find the potential this car has. I want
to be at the top and fight, and I really
hope that the car is able to deliver.”
Ocon, who has been at Alpine
since 2020 (when it was still under
the Renault name) said: “It’s been
a very exciting project. It almost
doesn’t matter where we start
because this new concept needs
improvement. In the simulator we’ve
been going in the right direction, but
we need it to workin reality.”

history, every driver who
finished the previous season will
return in the same seat for the next.
That stability in the driver market
might suggest a similar end result in
2024, but stability in the technical
regulations will give a chance for
the chasing pack to close in on the
dominant Red Bull team. Here are
this year’s runners and racers.

Only a rare off-colour performance in Singapore prevented the
team from winning every single race in 2023, and such a

Milton Keynes-based squad plenty of time to focus on its latest
challenger, while rival constructors are still trying to close the
gap. Will Verstappen and Red Bull reign supreme in 2024? It
would be a bold call to bet against it.

 Updates to the Mercedes GLA include a longer range for the plug-in
hybrid version – does that put it ahead of the Alfa Romeo Tonale?
Pictures: Otis Clay

PREMIUM plug-in hybrid SUVs come in all
shapes and sizes, with car makers tapping
into demand from buyers who want to reduce
their fuel bills and emissions, but don’t
want to go all the way and drive an EV.
At the compact end of the market, the Mercedes
GLA has evolved from what was little more than a
high-riding hatchback into a more family-friendly
machine, and the second-generation model was
boosted by the addition of the GLE 250 e PHEV.
An update to the line-up in 2023 saw the GLA
benefit from the same range of tech additions as
seen in the A-Class hatch, while the 250 e version
was given a bigger battery, a more powerful
electric motor and more charging options.
Does that help the GLA remain as one of our
favourite small premium SUVs? To find out,
we’ve lined it up against the Alfa Romeo Tonale.
The Italian SUV also comes with an efficient
plug-in powertrain, but offers a sportier edge
than the Mercedes. Is that enough for it to
take victory over its German rival?

B-Class, CLA and GLB – all of which are based on
the company’s MFA2 platform. Blink and you’ll
miss the reprofiled nose, while the MBUX
updates will only be obvious to existing GLA
owners. It’s a similar story for the plug-in
powertrain, where small upgrades have been
made to improve overall efficiency.
The system’s combined power output remains
unchanged at 215bhp, but the electric motor
now has 107bhp (an increase of 7bhp), while
the battery’s efficiency has been boosted, so
more of its 16kWh capacity can be used to
deliver a WLTP-tested range of up to 48 miles.
There are faster charging options available,
too. As well as the standard 3.7kW rate that’s
been carried over from the pre-facelift model,
the GLA now offers 11kW three-phase AC
capability, so the battery can be fully recharged
in an hour and a quarter.
The GLA 250 e comes with an eight-speed
twin-clutch automatic gearbox, while drive
is sent to the front wheels only.
SAFETY: A five-star Euro NCAP rating was awarded
to the GLA when it arrived in 2019, with scores in
the 90 per cent range for adult and child occupant
protection. Standard safety kit is generous for all
models, although only AMG Line Premium and
Plus models feature blind-spot detection – it’s not
even offered as an option on the rest of the range.

On road
OVERALL the GLA is a more comfortable car
than its Tonale rival, with a smooth ride and
good refinement at all speeds.
AROUND TOWN: Mercedes has boosted the electric
range of the plug-in GLA, so if you do lots of short,
local journeys, you might not even have to rely on
the petrol engine. The car’s performance around
town is refined and responsive in electric mode,
and when the engine does fire up, it does so
smoothly and without much noise.
Less impressive is the car’s behaviour under
braking. Mercedes’ mild-hybrid models can be a
little unsettled when transferring between energy
recovery and the physical discs and pads, making
it difficult to be smooth on the pedal, and this is
accentuated in the plug-in model.
At least the low-speed ride is comfortable on
the whole. True, the ride is on the firm side, but the
damping doesn’t crash when you hit bumps in
the road, a characteristic that will be helped by the
relatively high profile of the tyre sidewalls.
“The ride is on the firm
side, but the damping

either, because the car’s electronics manage energy
flow between the engine, motor and wheels once
the charge falls below a certain level. The engine
cuts in smoothly, so the cabin remains settled.
The GLA isn’t much fun to drive, courtesy of a
lack of steering feel and a relatively high centre of
gravity that discourages enthusiastic driving. Grip
is good, though, so it’s stable and sure-footed.
MOTORWAY: The GLA can drive in EV mode at the

 TESTED Mercedes GLA vs Alfa Romeo Tonale
Alfa Romeo Tonale
MODEL TESTED: Tonale 1.3 PHEV Q4 Veloce
PRICE: £48,495 POWERTRAIN: 1.3-litre 4cyl, 276bhp
THE Tonale is currently Alfa Romeo’s
smallest model, and is designed to open
up the marque to a new market. The top-spec
Veloce model in plug-in hybrid form costs
£48,495, although the options fitted to our
test car bump the price up to £52,945.
Tech highlights
WHILE the Tonale is a relatively new car for Alfa
Romeo, its underpinnings can be traced back to
the company’s pre-Stellantis years. In fact, its roots
go as far back as the Fiat Grande Punto, but it has
evolved a great deal over the years, so much so that
the Tonale’s platform has grown to make space on
board for a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Like the Mercedes, the Alfa uses a 1.3-litre
four-cylinder turbocharged unit, but it’s more
powerful at 178bhp. The electric motor’s output
is higher, too, at 121bhp, while a combined total of
276bhp is 61bhp ahead of the GLA’s. What’s more,
the Tonale’s system is four-wheel drive, because
electric power is sent to both axles. A six-speed
twin-clutch automatic gearbox features.
Modern Alfas come with a DNA switch,
which is just the company’s branding for its drive
mode selector. Here the different settings are
named Dynamic, Natural and Advanced Efficiency,
with the latter being the Tonale’s all-electric
driving mode. Unlike the Mercedes – which
has Eco, Comfort, Sport and Individual modes –
there’s no function in the Alfa that allows you
to personalise the settings to your own liking.
SAFETY: As with the Mercedes, the Alfa Romeo
earned a five-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating,
but its results were published in 2022, so its
lower percentage scores (bar an 85 per cent
rating for its assistance systems) aren’t
necessarily comparable with the GLA’s.
42 28 February 2024
On road
ALFA set out to give the Tonale a sporty edge, and
it certainly feels livelier than the Mercedes here.
AROUND TOWN: There’s a firm edge to the
Tonale’s ride, because while this top-spec Veloce
model is fitted with 19-inch alloys like the
Mercedes, they’re wrapped in lower-profile
tyres. It’s not uncomfortable, though, and helps
accentuate the Alfa’s sporty feel.
The hybrid system is eager to switch to electric
running to boost cabin comfort, which is good,
because when the engine does cut in, there’s a bit
of a drone from it while cruising at lower speeds in
high gears. The Alfa’s braking system is smoother
than the GLA’s in Natural mode, with none of the
jerkiness experienced in its German rival, but it
can become grabby when Dynamic is selected.
A & B-ROADS: The sharp braking is in keeping
with the Tonale’s sporty character, so is less of an
issue at higher speeds, while throttle response is
quick in Dynamic mode. Some might find it a bit
too snatchy, but switching back to the Natural
setting makes the car feel sluggish in comparison.
A fast steering rack offers quick changes of
direction, while Veloce models feature adaptive
dampers that help the Tonale to feel as agile
as the lighter Mercedes in corners.
MOTORWAY: It’s at the national limit where
differences lie between these two cars. The Alfa’s
engine is running for most of the time on the
motorway, and because it only has a six-speed
gearbox as opposed to the Mercedes’ eight-speed
unit, it carries higher revs at 70mph, which
has an obvious impact on fuel economy. Thanks
to its lower-profile tyres, the Tonale suffers
from more road noise than the GLA, too. WHEELS

WHAT TO BUY?
Which version we’d choose

POWERTRAINS As with the Mercedes,

there’s just a single plug-in hybrid drive
system offered with the Tonale. It’s one
of two powertrains on offer, the other
being a 1.5-litre mild hybrid that comes
with 148bhp and front-wheel drive.

TRIM Unlike the GLA, the Tonale’s

plug-in powertrain is available across
the range, a line-up that comprises
three trims in total. Sprint is the entry
point to the range, from £35,995, while
this Veloce is currently the mid-spec
version for £5,000 extra. The current
range-topper is the Tributo, which
costs another £3,500 on top of that.

This Veloce trim suits the Tonale’s
sporty nature and is well specced.

John McIlroy
Editor-at-large
OUR finance calculations are based
around a representative example
provided by Alfa Romeo that covers
a 47-month term. Stump up £10,299
up front and Alfa will throw in a
£500 deposit contribution, so the
Tonale costs £499 a month. On the
same terms, the GLA costs £526 a
month, while a final payment of
£22,850 means you can keep
the car. The Alfa’s final optional
payment is £500 cheaper.
Insurance costs are similar
between these two, but if you buy
a Tonale on finance, it’s eligible
for three years of free servicing,
which offers a £1,260 saving over
Mercedes’ maintenance plan.
Our estimated fuel costs are based
on using the petrol engine once the
hybrid system’s battery has been
depleted, and the Mercedes is more
efficient than the Alfa to the tune of
nearly £600 over three years of use.
Of course, the idea is that the
battery is kept topped up to take
the strain off the engine, and
Mercedes offers home chargers or
the Mercedes Me Charge package to
help keep the GLA topped up. This
offers three levels of service, with
discounted rates available at BP
Pulse and Ionity chargers. While Alfa
Romeo offers recommended home
charger providers, it doesn’t have
access to discounted public tariffs.

 TESTED Mercedes GLA vs Alfa Romeo Tonale

Rivals and other options

The Alfa Romeo Tonale wins our twin test, but what else is out there?

SAME CLASS
BMW X1
AS this test has revealed, even the strongest options in this class are not without their
flaws. And that applies to our current favourite in this segment, the X1. Its issue comes
with ride comfort; we strongly recommend avoiding the M Sport models, because the
bounciness becomes borderline unacceptable. In softer X Line trim and on smaller wheels
things improve, which allows you to appreciate an otherwise superb car. Its PHEV system
is the best in this segment by some margin in terms of EV range and performance, and it’s
the most fun to drive. Its roomy cabin also has a mix of the most modern tech and design.

● Superb performance ● Hard ride

● Sharp handling ● No iDrive clickwheel
● Spacious cabin and boot ● Pricey option packs

SAME MONEY
Range Rover Evoque
THE Evoque is one of the older contenders in this segment, but it still has plenty to
recommend it. Ride and refinement are better than what you’ll find in the Alfa, BMW or
Mercedes, so it’s an impressively relaxing vehicle to live with every day. A 2024 model year
update introduced the latest version of JLR’s infotainment set-up; it’s one of the best to
use in its class, but losing the previously excellent physical climate controls is a shame.
There’s plenty of power from the plug-in hybrid system, but once the battery is down to
its minimum, the fuel efficiency from the three-cylinder petrol engine is appalling.

● Comfort and refinement ● Awful petrol-only economy

● Stylish cabin ● Tight rear legroom
● Slick infotainment tech ● No physical air-con controls

Cayenne
WITH a new Cayenne hitting the roads
recently, prices for the previous-gen

and there are plenty of three and four-
year-old examples on the market for
around the 50-grand mark. That gets
you a plug-in hybrid model which
sources its petrol energy from a lusty

strong performance on the road.
Despite its size, it handles brilliantly,
and interior quality is fabulous.

Lexus
NX 450h+
OUR current favourite PHEV SUV,
the NX 450h+ combines all the usual
Lexus strengths of interior space and
soothing refinement with a brilliant
PHEV system. Key to its success is the
performance of its electric motors in
particular – this lets it run in EV mode
more than most rivals – but even with
an empty battery, the slick hybrid tech
means we still averaged almost 50mpg
on longer runs. Nearly new examples
start from around £43,000.
● Superb efficiency
● Impressive refinement
● Pricey higher trim levels
● Cabin a little bland
FEW cars in this class can compete with the Tonale
when it comes to style, but that could change once
the Cupra Terramar arrives later this year. The
sporty offshoot of SEAT boasts a range of striking
designs, and its SUV challenger is set to straddle the
line between mainstream models like the Hyundai
Tucson and the posher alternatives in this contest.
The Terramar will use the Volkswagen Group’s
MQB platform, giving it access to the latest PHEV
tech; expect a range of up to 62 miles in fully
electric mode, comfortably out-punching the
competition here. As much as 268bhp comes from
a mix of e-motor and 1.5-litre petrol turbo engine.

Dawn Grant Steve Fowler Alex Ingram

Picture editor Editor-in-chief Chief reviewer

“I RAN the Tonale in this test
on a long-term basis, and was
impressed by the matrix lighting
during the dark winter months.
Not only do the light units look
sharp, but they deliver a bright
beam where you need it, which
is especially useful when you’re
negotiating dark country lanes.”
“THE GLA offers much more space
than the previous-generation
model, but if you need even more
room, then there’s the GLB. It
doesn’t come as a PHEV, but
there are efficient diesels
available, while an optional third
row of seats adds another level
of practicality to the mix.”
“THE Tonale is the latest in a
long line of Alfa Romeos that
is great to look at, and better
than most of the competition to
drive, yet is let down by a few
key flaws. There are still more
talented options available, but
it’s the one I actually want more
than the alternatives.”

 OUR CARS Living with a Jeep Avenger
Jeep Avenger
SECOND REPORT For a ‘European’ car, our Jeep has a very American feel
John McIlroy
John_McIlroy@autovia.co.uk
@johnmcilroy
AT its launch, the Jeep Avenger was
described as a “car designed in Europe,
and built in Europe, for Europe”. But as we
reach the halfway point in our time with
the baby SUV, we’ve been surprised by how
much of an American accent it has.
Fact is, Jeep’s global design teams were
responsible for the car – with the whole
project overseen by Ralph Gilles from HQ
in Detroit, US. And as our weeks with the car
roll by, I’m increasingly convinced that the
Avenger’s styling is a bit of a masterclass in
how to take common components – in this
case, the Stellantis Group’s CMP platform
– and turn them into something distinctive.
From the seven-bar front grille, to those
squared-off wheelarches and incredibly
short overhangs, the Avenger has a properly
chunky stance that is 100 per cent Jeep.
There’s no great pretence of real off-road
ability here, yet the Avenger certainly
stands out from the crowd in a way its
siblings, the Peugeot 2008, Vauxhall
Mokka and DS 3, can’t quite manage.
There’s greater familiarity inside, with
a few buttons, such as the electric window

had a problem with DC
charging, but hope that
a software update has
sorted things out
switches and mirror controls, clearly
snaffled from the Stellantis parts bin. And
yet the single coloured bar that runs across
the Avenger’s dash is another masterstroke,
referencing as it does the pared-back,
bare-metal environments so often found on
the likes of the iconic Wrangler. No, I don’t
feel ready to go mud-plugging in the Avenger
– but I do feel like I’m sitting in something
created with input from the American
brand, not just by a bunch of engineers in
Italy (the European base for the company).
The miles are piling on and the Avenger
continues to acquit itself well in daily use.
It’s a perfect size for the school run, able to
nip in and out of traffic, as well as being
genuinely compact – handy for the sort of
parking half-spaces you find in clogged back
streets. There’s no denying that the Jeep’s
pint-sized dimensions (and the fact that its
boot is a respectable size) mean that rear
cabin space is at a bit of a premium, but
we’ve just about worked out a layout
whereby my wife and I can be comfortable
in the front and still leave enough space
for our fast-growing son in one of the back
seats. He’s only grumbled once, anyhow.
Like most EVs, the Avenger is happiest on
country roads and around town, where the
stop-start, accelerate/brake nature of the
route allows it to recoup some energy that
would otherwise be lost under braking.
The constant drain of motorway mileage
is not the Jeep’s friend – but even with
single-digit temperatures, this baby SUV
is good for just over 200 miles of faster
running, and I don’t think that’s too bad,
under the circumstances.
There has been just one snag related to
this, but it is a potentially major one: DC
charging. The Avenger seems to have a
dislike for quick fill-ups, because I’ve tried in a recent triple test (in which it finished
several different locations, including a few first, ahead of the VW ID.3 and Kia Niro),
from my preferred public network, and chief reviewer Alex Ingram managed
InstaVolt. And on every occasion, the car to hook it up to a wide variety of terminals
simply reported ‘charging is completed’ and during its time with him. On every

the pretence of off-road ability,
but the Avenger does feel a little
softer than many of its Stellantis
stablemates. That makes it
comfortable around town
THE south of England has enjoyed some unseasonably warm weather in
recent weeks, and we’ve seen a boost to the range of our Car of the Year.
The Kona has clear kWh displays, which show consumption for the
current journey, or readings since the last top-up (or last reset), and
recent overnight home wallbox charges have resulted in a predicted range
of around 256 miles. That’s still well short of the official claimed figure of
300 miles, but up from a disappointing 230 miles in colder weather.
However, creative director Darren Wilson suspects these figures are
conservative estimates. A recent run down to Littlehampton on the south
coast provided a decent mix of motorway, country and urban routes, and
with some considered driving, Darren averaged an encouraging 3.4mi/kWh
on the 110-mile round trip. Yet the Kona still had well in excess of 150
miles of range left after arriving home – plenty for the rest of the week.

NEW PRODUCT
Volt Lite folding ebike
Price: from £2,899
Contact: voltbikes.co.uk
THERE’S a new option for drivers looking
to save time and, possibly, cash on the
daily commute, with the arrival of the Lite
folding ebike from UK producer Volt.
The Lite joins Volt’s existing ebike range,
including the two Metro folding models.
But, as the name suggests, the new design
is easier to carry, because it’s some 4kg
lighter. With the battery, it weighs 18kg,
thanks to a lightweight 6061 T6 aluminium
frame, making it one of the lightest folding
ebikes on the market, according to Volt.
When folded, the frame is held together
by a magnet, so it’s easy to carry and lift
in and out of a car boot.
The bike is powered by a 250W motor,
which uses sensors to match its delivery
to the force on the pedals, and develops
up to 75Nm of torque. That is delivered
through a Gates CDX carbon belt drive and
a Shiman0 Nexus three-speed hub up to
a top speed of the 15.5mph legal limit. A
10.5Ah Panasonic lithium-ion 36V battery
provides a range of up to 60 miles on a
Sticking point
Folded frame is held
together by a magnet,
making it easier to lift
single charge, although a smaller 7Ah
version is in the pipeline. Current
charge time is up to three hours.
Battery-powered LED lights are
included, while a GPS tracker for
added security is an optional extra.
THIS is a common question at this time of year, when you
look at your car covered in grime and can’t wait to shift it.
A pressure washer doesn’t just save time and energy, it
can also be good for your car because it can blast away
the grime without harming paintwork before you even
think about tackling it with a soapy mitt. It also opens the
door to using a snow foam, which helps loosen that dirt
before rinsing and grabbing the sponge. Many machines
come with a snow foam dispenser, but market-leading
brands can also work with specialist lances.
Every two years or so, we test the current best sellers
and come up with our pick of the crop. That choice will
suit most users and budgets, but it may not be right for
you and the way you plan to use one. So below are a few
factors to consider before you press ‘buy’ online.
The first question is how the washer will be used. Car
cleaning requires little power, and you need to take care
with high-pressure machines because too much grunt and
a needle-jet lance can damage paint or tyres. But if you
also plan to use the washer on decking, patios and so on,
you may need a machine with more power. You’ll also find
packages with patio-cleaning attachments more appealing.
If you have a lot of cars to clean, or one you like to
tackle every week or so, look for good-quality fittings –
often metal of some sort – that can withstand frequent
connection and putting away. And talking of putting away,
a reel to wind in a dirty hose is a distinct advantage,
although you usually need to pay more for one.
Also pay attention to the hose. This needs to be
around six metres or more long if you regularly clean
vans or large SUVs, because you’ll soon get fed up of
moving the washer around when cleaning and rinsing.
Our current pick is Hawksmoor’s High Pressure Washer,
but if you want more than the occasional car-cleaning
session, it’s worth taking the factors above into account.

Small sets could turn
out to be a big help
Dave Pollard
A MULTI-BIT screwdriver set is
a great way of being able to deal
with most fasteners without having
to buy or store loads of screwdrivers.
But when you just want a glovebox
companion or something to carry
around for an emergency, you don’t
need all that choice, and half a
dozen or so bits is quite enough.
Laser’s eight-bit kit has just hit
the market, so we tested it against
stubby bit-and-driver kits from
Sealey and Stanley. We looked for
what we think are the most useful
bits for car use: slotted, crosshead,
hex and Torx. Pozidrivs can be
handy in the garage, but there are
few on a car. Bits should always be
marked for size and type, and it’s
a bonus if they’re colour coded. A
ratchet always makes life easier
and it’s practical to have a way to
keep the bits and driver together.
Although more expensive, the
Laser strolled to a win thanks to its
build quality, practicality, superb
ratchet and great selection of bits.

 PRODUCTS Rechargeable torches
Dave Pollard
WHETHER it’s for emergencies at
the roadside, checking the engine bay
or overnight camping, it’s wise to keep
a torch in your car. But it’s no good if the
battery’s flat. One way to avoid this is to
use a rechargeable version, especially if
there’s a suitable socket in your car.
It’s also far greener using rechargeable
batteries. Our test units are all LED based,
producing more light for less input, while
staying cooler. All these torches come
with a USB cable and so can be charged
from a computer, mains or car with a
suitable socket or adaptors.
How we
tested them
EACH torch was run on its highest setting
for an hour, and we then tried them under
the bonnet, in the garage and outside to
test distance performance. A good warranty
shows confidence in a product, while an
official rating against dust/moisture (IP)
or shock (IK), means it should cope well
with being used outdoors.
We logged the various modes and output
options, and looked for a good balance
between weight, length, practicality and
battery capacity. A spot-to-flood zoom
is always useful, as are extras such as a
lanyard, pouch, magnetic base or second
battery option. Price was the final factor.

NightSearcher 1000-R LED
Rechargeable Flashlight
Price: £47.99
Contact: nightsearcher.com
Rating:
BEST BUY THE 18650-type 2.6Ah battery plays
a big role in this success, because it is powerful
and keeps the weight down to just 169g – only
the Nitecore is lighter. Light performance is
excellent, with the torch offering 1,000, 500,
200 and 50-lumen options, plus a beacon.
The focus goes from really wide to small spot
using the easy-to-operate sliding collar. It’s
dust/moisture proof to IP66 and IK07 shockproof,
so should stand up to some serious misuse. The
1000-R is impressive in all areas, and with its good
price and five-year warranty, is hard to resist.

Batteries Rating:

RECOMMENDED ALTHOUGH it’s the lightest

AN 18650 battery or 1865 cell is
a cylindrical lithium-ion battery
common in electronic devices.
The batteries measure 18mm
(0.71 inch) in diameter by 65mm
(2.56 inches) in length, giving
them the name 18650.
Panasonic first developed
the 18650 battery in 1994 when
there was a growing need for
ever smaller and lighter storage
batteries that could be used for
ever longer periods of time.
In essence, it means lots of
Ah from a small battery, which
makes the torches using them
lighter and more compact.
torch we tried, at 140g, the Nitecore boasts
5Ah thanks to its efficient battery. And at just
117mm long, it is easy to use and store.
Its moisture/dust protection of IP68 is
close to the best possible and it has a good
spread of beams (2,000, 350, 50 and five
lumens), with beacon and SOS. That capable
battery, with three status LEDs, charges in
around 1.5 hours and can be used to top up
mobile phones at 18W. While it’s not cheap
and we’d like to see a focus option and a
magnetic end, with its two-year warranty,
the Nitecore is an accomplished device.

Coast HP7R
Rechargeable LED Torch Kit
Price: £89.95
Contact: coastportland.com
Rating:

RECOMMENDED THE Coast is pricey, but includes two

2.6Ah rechargeable batteries and an alkaline pack, offering
lots of run time and versatility. The IP54 accreditation for
dust/moisture is good, although not the best on test.
We like the aluminium construction, while the wall-
mounting bracket, 360-degree belt clip, pouch and lanyard
are all welcome accessories. We still niggle at the large gap
between the two light modes offered (300-30 lumens),
although the Coast’s full-power performance is mighty, as
is the five-year warranty that comes as standard.

Draper SMD LED Wireless/USB

Rechargeable Hand Torch 65690
Price: £35.98
Contact: drapertools.com
Rating:

THE Draper’s body-mounted button toggles through 30, 100,

400 and 1,000-lumen modes, and its 216g weight gives it a
solid feel. A variable-focus option would be good, but we like
the strong nylon-and-aluminium case, which has lots of grippy
rubber sections and a magnetic end.
Impressively at the price, the Draper has an IK07 rating for
shock and is virtually impregnable from dust and moisture, with
an IP68 accreditation. A neat feature is the ability to charge
wirelessly using an optional pad (Draper part number 65789,
around £21), which will also revive a smartphone.

NightSearcher Zoom 600R Heavy Duty
Spot-to-FloodBeam LED Flashlight
Price: £43.79
Contact: nightsearcher.com
Rating:

WE like the aluminium casing’s matt-silver effect, its grippy knurling and
magnetic base. It uses the same 2.6Ah battery as the 1000-R, but produces less
light, with 600, 280 and 60-lumen modes. The magnetic induction system
makes charging easy with a simple slot-in cradle, which can be wall-mounted.
While the torch is rated IK07 for shock, curiously, it has no IP rating despite
its similarity to the larger NightSearcher. Its performance is good and we like
the variable focus, but its price looks high against the 1000-R.

Ryobi Cordless Pivoting

Head Light RLP4-120G
Price: £54.99
Contact: uk.ryobitools.eu
Rating:

RYOBI’S stylish torch uses the company’s new 2Ah removable battery
system, which works with various tools in the range. The head pivots
through 180 degrees, which is useful for bench work, especially when
using the magnetic base, or outdoors when clipped to a jacket.
The three light modes toggle through 640, 240 and 80 lumens, and
there’s also a red laser pointer. Despite having no variable focus, it
performed well through our tests, but has no IP accreditation and being
new, we couldn’t find it cheaper. One bonus is the three-year warranty.

Ledlenser P6R Core QC Rechargeable Torch

Price: £69.59
Contact: ledlenser.co.uk
Rating:

THIS torch is aimed at the outdoorsy type, the QC nomenclature standing for quattro
colour, referring to the four light colours available by turning a collar. Red reduces
glare, green is for game hunting, and blue for tracking. It uses a 2.5Ah battery and
has 15, 120 and 270-lumen modes, and with its smooth focus operation, produces
impressive results. We like the transport lock, which prevents accidental operation,
IP54 accreditation and seven-year warranty, but it is a little heavy and is not cheap.

Richard Dredge
THE literal translation of Volkswagen
is ‘people’s car’, which conjures up images
of economical family vehicles available to
all – much like the original VW, the Beetle.
An image that the term doesn’t match
quite so neatly with, is that of a very costly
full-sized SUV, but the arrival of the Touareg
shows just how elastic the VW brand is. An
attempt to go upmarket with the Phaeton
wasn’t successful, but just as that luxury
saloon was launched, so was the
company’s first SUV, the Mk1 Touareg.
This proved to be rather more of a hit
than the Phaeton and sure enough, the
Touareg Mk2 from 2010 was even more
accomplished, with the third-generation
model building on its success.

History
THE Touareg Mk3 arrived in June 2018 and
at first there was just one engine available,
a 282bhp 3.0 V6 TDI diesel, although a
228bhp version of this motor was added
soon after. Both variants only came with an
eight-speed automatic transmission and
4MOTION all-wheel drive. A petrol-engined
Touareg arrived in March 2019, in the form
of the 335bhp 3.0 V6 TSI, but few were sold.
At first only SE L, R-Line and R-Line Tech
trims were offered, but from September
2019 a new entry-level SE specification was
added to the line-up, along with SEL Tech
and Black Edition, further up the range.
The 455bhp Touareg R plug-in-hybrid

appeared in March 2021. Then in July 2023

WHILE some of Volkswagen’s smaller SUVs have made it
into our Driver Power surveys (the Tiguan came 58th, the
T-Roc 28th and the T-Cross 21st out of 75 entries in our 2023
New Car poll), the Touareg doesn’t sell in large enough
quantities to make an appearance. There are just four

and, worryingly, two that award just a single star.
CASE STUDY
PAUL Krieve from Nuneaton, Warks, owns a 2019 Touareg
3.0 TDI. He says: “The VW is streets ahead of the Jeep Grand
Cherokee that I owned before. It’s refined, reasonably
economical, quick and luxurious. The cabin feels special
and there’s no shortage of space for people or luggage. So
far my Touareg has been reliable, and the running costs
have been reasonable for what is a large luxury car.”

OF course, no car of this size is going to
be cheap to run, but as insurance costs
skyrocket and with most Touaregs sitting
in high groups, you’ll pay plenty for your
annual premiums, alongside fuel,
maintenance and road tax. So it’s worth

Recalls
Interior
AS VW’s flagship vehicle, the Touareg has a cabin
that’s as special as you’d expect. Leather trim
isn’t standard on entry-level cars, but all versions
have plenty of premium interior materials, the fit
and finish is excellent, and despite there being
large amounts of standard equipment, the
dashboard is user-friendly, if a little busy.
Predictably, cabin space front and rear is
superb (there’s no seven-seat option) and so is
the available boot capacity. For added versatility
the rear seat slides back and forth by 160mm. The
load volume ranges from 810 litres with the seats
up, to 1,800 litres with them folded.
THE third-generation Touareg has been recalled on five
occasions so far. The first time was in November 2018,
because 110 cars left the factory with faulty rear seatbelt
buckles. Poorly made shock absorbers were the reason
behind the second action, in February 2019, which
affected 10 Touaregs manufactured in December 2018.
A third campaign was launched in March 2020,
aimed at 22 Touaregs produced between April 2018 and
January 2019, some of which had loose bolts in the
steering mechanism. In May 2020, 255 Touaregs made
between September and November 2019 were recalled
because of potential gearbox oil leaks.
Volkswagen’s most recent campaign was launched
in December 2023, because of airbag glitches in up to
89 Touaregs built between August and October 2023.

Which one? TRANSMISSION Every Touareg has an

YOU won’t be disappointed with any
Touareg; even the least powerful diesel
offers performance, economy and ready
availability, although running costs are high
for petrol editions. All Touaregs are well
equipped, with the entry-level SE featuring
19-inch alloy wheels, LED head and tail-
lights, heated front seats, a 9.2-inch
touchscreen with navigation and DAB,
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone
climate control, adaptive cruise control,
plus front and rear parking sensors.
The SE L trim adds leather seats, privacy
glass, a powered tailgate and a 15-inch
touchscreen display. The R-Line has sports
seats, 20-inch wheels, four-zone climate
control and a rear-view camera. The Black
Edition has a panoramic sunroof and air
suspension with adjustable chassis control.
Alternatives
IN terms of price or size, the Touareg is up
against a raft of impressive premium SUVs.
The most dynamically accomplished is the
Porsche Cayenne, or there’s the same brand’s
slightly smaller Macan. Both are five-seaters
that are superb to drive, but costly to buy
eight-speed automatic gearbox and
VW’s 4MOTION all-wheel drive system

Sport and Velar, which are also strong when

that shares some of its oily bits with the
Touareg. Other large SUVs include the BMW

FOR many people, a car is merely an
appliance that gets them from A to B.
Then at the other end of the scale are the
cars that cater for the hardcore enthusiast.
These are models developed for those
buyers who will spend whatever it takes
to secure the most rewarding and exciting
drive. They want to turn every journey into
an occasion, and that’s exactly what this
pair of high performers will do. While the
idea of pitching a Porsche Cayman against a
Renault Megane might seem like madness,
the GT4 and RS Trophy-R we’re testing here
represent landmarks in the development
of the scalpel-sharp enthusiast’s car.
Incredible to drive and available in very
limited numbers, the thing about both of
these models is that they were rarely
bought to be used as intended. Instead
many examples were purchased by
collectors, who have kept them in as-new
condition. That’s great for people buying
used – except the Porsche now commands
a premium over its original price, whereas
the much rarer Renault does not.
So does that make the French model
the best used buy? Let’s find out.

Renault Megane RS Trophy-R £44,000
RS300 Trophy-R
2020, 13k miles
Rare hot hatch packs a performance punch, but can’t outshine the Porsche
THE idea of a near-£75k Renault Megane might blow
your mind, but once you get behind the wheel of the
Trophy-R you’ll discover just how exciting a hot hatch
ONE WE FOUND
can be. Renault threw everything it had at this model;
the back seats were removed to save weight, the
aerodynamics and suspension were honed, and so
were the brakes. The result was a car that gave the
Cayman a genuinely hard time. But can a front-wheel-
drive hatch really beat a rear-wheel-drive coupé that
packs a third more power? In short, no.
For those who baulk at the £72,140 new price, that
was with options, including a set of £12,000 carbon-
fibre wheels; in standard form the hot Megane was a
slightly more palatable £51,440. But that’s still a lot
for a car wearing a Renault badge, so as you’d expect, Fitting a seven-inch touchscreen was part of the weight
there’s a massive gulf in terms of availability between
the Megane and the Cayman, because you’ll have to
saving in the Trophy R, as was removing the rear seats USED DEAL
search hard to find a second-hand Trophy-R. Not to
be confused with the Trophy, which costs little more
RENAULT MEGANE
than half as much (but which is equally unusual), the RS300 Trophy-R,
Trophy-R is extremely rare. We found just a couple of 2021, 11,500 miles
used models for sale, both priced at £45,000 or so.
PRICE £44,995
Verdict
FINDING a Megane RS300 Trophy-R will be hard

2 nd Renault Megane
THE Renault is now £30k cheaper than the
enough, but you’re highly unlikely to find a Nürburgring
Edition like the one we tested four years ago, because
just 34 examples were sold in the UK.
Porsche and it’s hard to ignore that saving.
But at this end of the market it’s not about
cost; it’s the image and the sharpest drive. SOURCED FROM AUTO TRADER

THEY’RE undoubtedly good – and getting better

– at designing and building cars. But most of the TESTED
world’s manufacturers aren’t great at talking about
themselves or answering to their buying public.
True, when it comes to telling current or potential
customers what models they’re marketing at the
minute and why consumers should be buying or
leasing them, they do an excellent job. But what other
significant efforts do manufacturers make to ensure

Not that BYD, Dacia, MG and Renault are going with this global motor industry flow.
The effective boycott of Geneva by manufacturers big and small is something these four FEATURE
dare-to-be-different car firms refuse to go along with.
Right up until the pandemic caused the cancellation of the 2020 event, Geneva was (and
could again become) the greatest motor show on earth. More importantly, the Geneva
Four, as I like to dub these forward-thinking companies, have much to say and plenty of
hugely significant, sensibly priced products to display on their respective stands.
Glamorous they’re not. But long-established Renault, back-from-the-dead MG, onwards-
and-upwards Dacia and new kid BYD can consider themselves to be among the most
impressive and in-touch brands of the world. Right now, the Geneva Four are out there

new EVs, launch brand-new sister brands, celebrate massive hikes in sales and more.
