THIS is a huge week for radical new models; in this issue you can read first verdicts on the all-electric MINI and the ever-so-cute Honda e. And yet in volume terms, the biggest new car is probably the SEAT Leon (above), which we visited in a studio last week. SEAT was still something of a VW Group basket case before the third generation of the Leon arrived in 2012. It stitched together lots of the same chassis and engines as the likes of the Volkswagen Golf and the Skoda Octavia in a package which had, well, just a little bit more Latin flair than the German and Czech offerings. The result was a smash hit. Well over a million Mk3 Leons have been shifted over the past seven years. Including one that’s sitting on my driveway right now. You can read our full coverage on the new, fourthgeneration Leon on page 12 – but suffice it to say that on the face of it, SEAT’s designers and engineers have done the logical thing and addressed the key issues of the outgoing model: namely, a few dodgy materials in its cabin and fairly cramped rear-seat accommodation. Is the new model’s overall shape as rakish as that of the car it replaces? Perhaps not quite. But it now offers much the same interior space as a Golf and pretty much the same tech – in a good-looking body, with prices that will almost inevitably be slightly keener. In lots of ways, in fact, the new Leon reeks of the influence of Luca de Meo, the sales and marketing specialist whose razor-sharp focus on delivering products that customers actually want has transformed the Spanish manufacturer’s fortunes in recent years. And it makes us wonder how big a blow de Meo’s recent decision to step away from SEAT (to, it is assumed, pursue a career at the helm of Renault) will be for everyone in Barcelona. The new Leon looks set to provide further evidence of how far SEAT has come. And leave us doubly curious about what the company does next.

TOPSTORY SPECIAL
DRIVEN NewMINIElectric + Hondae Essentials
Richard Ingram
Richard_Ingram@dennis.co.uk @rsp_ingram
MINI is on the way to becoming an allelectric brand. It’ll launch a raft of EVs and plug-in hybrids in the near future – and the process that began with the Countryman PHEV continues with this, the MINI Electric. The company’s first full production EV is based on the conventional three-door hatch, switching its combustion engines for a 32.5kWh battery and an electric motor. The former is mounted under the floor within the standard car’s transmission tunnel, so there’s no impact on cabin or boot space. Let’s be clear on this, though: this is still a small car, and even kids will feel hemmed in after longer stints in the back. But time spent in any of the four seats is limited, because the MINI Electric has a WLTP-rated range of between 140 and 145 miles. By modern standards, that’s not much to shout about; the latest Renault Zoe can do 240-odd miles before you need to plug it in. But the MINI is aimed at urban dwellers for whom range is less important than looks. If your commute is fewer than 10 miles each way, MINI reasons, you could feasibly complete a five-day working week without having to top up even once. A 50kW rapid charger will boost the batteries from 0-80 per cent in just 35 minutes; an 11kW plug at home will need two and a half hours. The MINI Electric’s cabin will feel familiar to those au fait with the regular car. Every model uses the same round central display, which houses an identical touchscreen and iDrive-style infotainment system. However, directly ahead of the driver sits a new digital instrument binnacle, showing the remaining range, trip information and speed. There are three trims to choose from, labelled Level 1, 2 or 3. Every car gets satnav, Apple CarPlay (still no Android Auto), MINI Connected services, cruise control and dual-zone climate control. Step up to Level 2 (an extra £2,000) and you’ll benefit from a parking camera, part-leatherette heated seats, and extra paint and wheel options. Level 3 costs a further £4,000 (topping out at £30,400 after the plug-in grant), and adds a Harman Kardon stereo, a panoramic roof, a larger central screen with Navigation Plus, park assist and a full leather interior. Material quality is fantastic. Our test car felt impeccably screwed together and more luxurious than a supermini has any right to be. The amount of performance on offer is strong, too; the MINI zips away from traffic lights and junctions with the instant electric punch that’s synonymous with all small EVs. The claimed 0-62mph time of 7.3 seconds feels conservative, if anything. Build your speed and the MINI will sit happily at 70mph for short stints – limited only by its overall range – with very little wind or road noise. It’s remarkably refined for a supermini, electric or otherwise. There are two brake energy recuperation settings, and while the more gentle of the

PRACTICALITY There are two seats in the
back of the MINI Electric, but this is a small car and even children will find them cramped on anything other than short journeys
FIRST DRIVE
DISPLAYS Much of MINI Electric’s interior is
identical to the regular hatchback’s – including its central round screen – but driver gets a new digital display to show range and speed info two doesn’t quite allow for ‘engine-off’ coasting, it slows the car just as a petrol model might if you were to lift off the throttle and leave it in gear. The stronger mode was our preferred setting, however, proving easy to modulate and stout enough to allow one-pedal driving in town. In addition, there are a handful of drive modes designed to maximise range. Green is the best of the bunch, boosting the digital range readout by as much as 15 extra miles depending on driving style. Green+ is more economical still, dulling the car’s responses and switching off the air-con. Meanwhile, Sport and Normal do the opposite, improving acceleration and sharpening the steering. There’s no avoiding the fact that the ride errs on the stiff side of things, mind. While it never feels rough or brittle, the car has a tendency to fidget at lower speeds. The few corners we did manage to find showed the MINI Electric handled with composure and accuracy, with perhaps a degree more body roll than the conventional Cooper S, probably due to the Electric’s extra weight.

Verdict THE new MINI Electric is a curious car. For many, the fact that it looks, feels and drives much like a normal MINI – albeit with an electric motor and unique badging – will be part of the appeal. And its undeniably modest range won’t matter at all. Yet others will wonder why it lacks the flair and individuality of cars like the Honda e. Either way, it’s a solid first effort, and one we’re very much looking forward to trying properly in the UK in the coming months.

James_Batchelor@dennis.co.uk @JRRBatchelor
IF the thought of switching from petrol power to electric has crossed your mind, then 2020 could be the year to do it. Around two dozen new cars powered purely by electricity will be arriving in the next 12 months, and the cutest will be the Honda e. This funky new offering has the potential to really stand out in a sea of small EVs like the MINI Electric (see Page 6), Peugeot e-208 and Vauxhall Corsa-e. But with prices starting at £26,000 and a range of as little as 125 miles, is the Honda e an expensive piece of jewellery or a compelling small electric car? Its styling will be an advantage because in a world of bloated SUVs, the e looks refreshingly small – cool, classless and desirable in an Apple iPhone kind of way. Step inside and the interior is refreshingly different too. Wood trim stretches across the entire dashboard, and above it sit three TFT screens, giving a look not unlike a John

Lewis TV cabinet. The system operates like a smartphone, with icons for various features, pinch-and-zoom functionality and the ability to switch information between screens. Sadly, the more time you spend playing with the infotainment, the more some annoying foibles become apparent. The satnav can’t stretch across both screens, for example, and its general look and feel are a little too TomTom-like. Plus, while the ability to show an aquarium is supposed to be fun, it just shouts ‘Windows 95 screensaver’. Overall, though, the cabin is a nice place to be. The materials used are mostly of high quality, the seats are comfy and supportive, there’s some decent storage and, thanks to a flat floor, it feels roomy up front. Space in the back is a little tight but there’s more room than in an e-208, and the Honda e has five doors unlike the MINI. A desperately small boot (171 litres with the seats up) is a major downside. Prices kick off at £26,160 (£299 a month on a PCP deal) after the Government grant
for the entry-level model, which comes with 16-inch alloys and a 134bhp electric motor with a range of 137 miles. This shrinks to 125 miles if you step up to a 152bhp model with 17-inch wheels, mind. Charging is via a CCS or Type 2 port under the panel on the bonnet. Plug into a 100kW rapid charger and a zero-to-80 per cent topup takes 30 minutes, while a 7.4kW home wallbox charge takes a little over four hours. Does the Honda e drive as good as it looks? Yes. It feels most at home in built-up areas, as you’d expect, with those dinky dimensions making it very manoeuvrable. The amazingly tight turning circle (4.3 metres – smaller than a London cab’s) makes parking a doddle and, with a very healthy
“The amazingly tight turning circle is smaller than a London cab’s”
315Nm from the electric motor, racing away from traffic lights and zipping through dense traffic become a fun new game. Head into the countryside and the e still manages to acquit itself very well. The ride is plush and, on undulating roads, it isn’t lumpy or unsettled. That wheel-at-eachcorner stance makes the car feel quite stable at high speeds, and the steering has a pleasing amount of feel through it. There isn’t quite enough power for some enthusiastic driving but at least you can feel the car being pushed out of corners rather than being pulled like in the e-208. The only real niggle with the driving experience is the unusually high number of brake-regeneration modes. Paddles on the back of the steering wheel adjust four mild levels offered in Normal or Sport modes. However the driver can also choose a ‘single-pedal’ setting that opens up a further three modes. This seems like overkill to us, and we’d expect most owners to never fiddle with the settings.

Verdict A GLUT of new city cars with dinky dimensions and tiny running costs is to set arrive in 2020 and the Honda e is a worthy newcomer. It stands apart from its rivals thanks to its cute styling and comfortable cabin, while the Honda has charm by the bucket load. You do have to pay for the privilege, though, and for some the relatively small range will be hard to stomach because some of those same rivals can go further for less cash.

TOPSTORYSPECIAL EV head-to-head
MINI Electric vs Honda e
HEAD-TO-HEAD We run the rule over these two important electric superminis Price £24,400
Price £26,160
THERE are three trim levels to choose from, but MINI prides itself on the fact this electrified model is cheaper than a like-forlike, petrol-powered Cooper S. It’s less expensive than the Honda e, too, but the trade-off is a more conventional cabin that does without any of the Japanese model’s cool quirks.
TWO versions of the Honda e are available. The entry-level car costs £26,160 and gets the three large screens, and cameras for mirrors as standard. This model also gets a less powerful electric motor. The £28,660 Advance model packs more power, but the range is shorter because of its larger wheel and tyre set-up.
vs
Range 145 miles
Range 137 miles
THE MINI can’t compete with the Renault Zoe for WLTP-rated range, but on paper it beats the Honda. You can use less energy by flicking the car into one of two ‘Green’ drive modes, the most eco of which switches off the aircon and limits throttle response.
TO get the most range, you’ll have to go for the entry-level edition, which can cover a claimed 137 miles. Step up to the Advance model and there’s more power, but the range drops to 125 miles – which will probably be closer to 115 miles in winter driving.
vs
Interior and tech
Interior and tech
THE Honda has the MINI licked when it comes to interior tech. Some will like the fact that the baby Brit feels very familiar, but others will revel in the Honda’s cool cabin and multiple screens. Next to the Japanese car, the MINI feels just a little conventional.
HONDA says it has designed the e’s interior to resemble a lounge, and the dashboard looks like a wooden sideboard with TVs mounted on top. The three-screen set-up and camera mirrors are all standard kit, but the infotainment system isn’t the easiest to use.
vs
Practicality
Practicality
WITH the batteries mounted within the MINI’s transmission tunnel, there are no compromises on practicality. The back seats are small and there’s no five-door, but there are two Isofix points, and the 211-litre boot is big enough for a weekly shop.
THANKS to the electric motor mounted at the back, boot room is pretty small. Its capacity is just 171 litres, but that should be enough for small trips to the shops. The high floor means there’s no boot lip to negotiate and the rear seats can fold flat.
vs
Performance
Performance
FEW would suggest that the MINI Electric is slow. If anything, the car feels far faster than its numbers suggest – and that instant electric surge gives you confidence to nip in and out of gaps that you might otherwise question in a petrol-powered car.
THE entry-level Honda e packs 134bhp from its electric motor, while the Advance gets 152bhp. The more powerful car manages 0-62mph in a nippy 8.3 seconds (0.7 seconds quicker than the 134bhp car) and tops out at 90mph. Both cars are fitted with a 35.5kWh battery.
Familiarity is MINI’s strength
IT’S an odd position for a MINI to be the more conventional car in a pairing. But the MINI Electric definitely feels more like a derivative rivative than a bespoke creation – because that’s exactly what it is.. RICHARD INGRAM Editor, DrivingElectric

NEWS SEAT Leon “Rear cabin space is much improved and the aperture to get into and out of those back seats is wider” MARCUS KEITH
SEAT vehicle and chassis development engineer
OFFICIAL
Bigger Leon gunning for G John_McIlroy@dennis.co.uk @johnmcilroy
● More cabin space in Mk4 hatch ● PHEV has 38-mile electric range
SEAT has been scoring big sales with its SUVs recently, but the company’s revival was really kick-started by the third generation of its Leon family hatchback, first introduced in 2012. Now the fourth iteration of the VW Golf and Ford Focus rival is here, ahead of UK sales starting in late spring. The Mk3 Leon sold more than a million units and it was always known as one of the more striking offerings in the family car class. As such, SEAT’s design team hasn’t interfered too much with the Leon’s looks; the styling shift between Mk3 and Mk4 is clearly evolutionary, with a recognisable side profile. The car also uses the same platform as before: the ubiquitous MQB
architecture that underpins most of the bread-and-butter models in the VW Group. But that doesn’t mean that there are not significant differences. The new car is almost 90mm longer than before, and 50mm of that increase has been inserted into the wheelbase in a bid to improve one of the Mk3’s biggest failings: rear cabin space. That aside, the bonnet looks longer because the windscreen has been made more upright than before. The same goes for the Leon’s nose, which now has a stronger, prouder stance. The rear incorporates SEAT’s familiar tail-light motif into a fullwidth LED set-up, and higher-end versions will also get ‘welcome’ and ‘farewell’

animations displayed when the car is locked and unlocked. There’s a change of badge, too, because the old techy Leon script is replaced by a ‘signature’ that will be rolled out across all the SEAT range in the near future. This car’s bodyshell is eight per cent more aerodynamically efficient than the outgoing model’s. As with the recently announced Mk8 Golf, the new Leon gets a refreshed powertrain line-up that incorporates varying levels of electrification. The range will start with a 109bhp three-cylinder 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. Then there’s a 1.5-litre four-cylinder unit with either 128bhp or 148bhp, and a 2.0-litre with 187bhp. There are two 2.0-litre diesels, too, with either 113bhp or 148bhp. The standard transmission is a six-speed manual, but the petrol engines can all be
ordered with an automatic gearbox. Going auto also opens up the possibility of adding 48-volt mild-hybrid technology on the 1.0 and 148bhp 1.5 petrol variants, to boost efficiency. For buyers who really want to cut fuel bills, the range also includes a 1.4-litre petrol-based plug-in hybrid edition that can travel up to 38 miles on electricity alone. Inside, the dashboard is a lot cleaner and simpler than before, because the infotainment screen now sits on the front of the fascia instead of being accommodated within it. The car in our images has the topspec 10-inch system, complete with the same sliding controllers for temperature and infotainment volume that you’ll find on the latest Volkswagen Golf.

than just a personalisation gimmick. So while the shades and hues will continue to be user-configurable and can match the selected driving mode (red for sport, green for efficiency), the car will also flash the interior strip light if it really needs to get your attention quickly, such as for a blindspot warning or if it senses oncoming traffic as you’re reversing out of a parking space. Based on our time with the Leon in the studio, SEAT looks set to deliver on one of the new car’s key targets: better cabin space. It’s noticeably easier than before to get into the rear seats, while leg and kneeroom are definitely more generous than in the Mk3 Leon. The boot is basically unchanged, at 380 litres, but there’s now 617 litres on offer if you choose the estate model. That bodystyle continues into the Mk4, but there’s no return for the three-door Leon SC, which was dropped from the third-generation car’s line-up almost 18 months ago. The range will start with SE, which brings keyless entry, LED headlights, 16-inch alloys and an eight-inch infotainment screen. Stepping up to SE Dynamic adds 17-inch wheels, the 10-inch infotainment set-up complete with nav, a digital instrument panel, front and rear parking sensors, plus tinted rear side windows. The sportier FR variant, as pictured

here, has revised front and rear bumpers, a different design of 17-inch alloys, lower, stiffer suspension, full LED tail-lights with animations, three-zone air-con and a wireless smartphone charging tray. SEAT will also offer FR Sport, which includes a Winter Pack (with heated front seats, steering wheel and windscreen washers), wraparound ambient lighting and 18-inch alloys. As with the Mk3 Leon, Xcellence will offer higher-end buyers a more luxury-focused option instead of FR. It has the same Winter Pack and ambient-light tech, but gets its own design of alloy wheels, plus chrome trim on the side windows and a suede cloth finish on some of the interior. Xcellence Lux takes this specification and adds leather seats and 18-inch wheels. The SEAT will be available in a choice of seven colours, with metallic paint standard across the range. The new Leon, in five-door and estate forms, is due on sale in the UK at the end of March. There’s no word on pricing yet, but the extra kit and tech should mean a small increase compared with the outgoing car, giving a starting price of around £18,750.
SEAT vehicle and chassis development engineer Marcus Keith joined us to explain more about the latest Leon.
Q When did the project for this Leon actually start? A “About four years ago. We sat down and discussed IN CONTROL
Passengers in the rear seats of FR cars will get their own air-con control, plus two USB-C ports to charge their phones
the characteristics of the Mk3 Leon, looked at how it compared with its peers and rivals, and then took on board advice from our colleagues in product marketing on trends and the areas that we needed to focus on.”
Q The car looks very similar to the previous model and
has the same boot capacity as before. So practicality wasn’t an issue for existing Leon customers?
A “Actually, the boot size is the same on the five-door,
but it’s larger on the estate. And the big thing is inserting the 50mm into the wheelbase, because that allows us to address one key area: rear cabin space. It’s much improved in the fourth-generation Leon and the aperture to get into and out of those back seats is wider.”
Q Have you enough scope to differentiate the
upcoming Cupra model from the regular SEAT?
A
“Yes, very much so. Of course, there’s a SEAT Leon FR, but we have known all along that there would be a Cupra Leon and this has been taken into account when we have been tuning across the range. You won’t have to wait long and you will see and feel it is a very distinct product.”

NEWS Mercedes E-Class
We hitch a ride in hi-tech
● Passenger ride in new executive ● New engines and tech on the way Andreas Huber
MORE than one million examples of the E-Class have been sold since 2016, so there’s a lot riding on this facelifted version from a commercial perspective. It’s a comprehensive update, too; Mercedes has revised the car’s engines, safety kit and cabin, taking a risk rather than playing it safe. Ahead of the car’s official debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, Auto Express joined the development team in a late prototype to find out what’s new. The big changes are under the bonnet. Mercedes will use the E-Class facelift to introduce a pair of new 48-volt mild-hybrid petrol engines. The lower-powered system comprises a turbocharged 2.0-litre fourcylinder engine as well as a compact integrated starter/generator, developing a combined output of 288bhp. A more powerful mild-hybrid petrol set-up will also be available, comprising a 362bhp turbocharged 3.0-litre straightsix petrol engine and an identical 20bhp 48-volt starter/generator. Performance and economy figures for the pair of engines have yet to be confirmed for the E-Class, although they both feel smooth enough from the passenger seat. Elsewhere, the shift to Mercedes’ latest MBUX infotainment system adds a host of welcome connectivity features. The MBUX set-up’s menus are more logically laid out than they were in the old E-Class, and it offers a range of input methods, including touch, gesture, trackpad and voice control. The sat-nav system is also leaps and bounds ahead of the outgoing car’s. It features augmented-reality graphics, which project an image from the car’s forward-facing camera onto the screen in real time, making it easier for the driver to find the correct junction without taking their eyes off the road. The updated E-Class has also adopted a raft of new safety kit. Highlights include Mercedes’ latest active cruise control and blind-spot monitoring systems that now warn the driver when nearby vulnerable road users, such as cyclists or bikers, are at risk from an opening door.

Mercedes offers a sneak peek of EQS electric limo SPIED
Official camo shot reveals differences between road car and concept (below) ELSEWHERE at MERCEDES, development of the all-electric EQS luxury car continues apace before it goes on sale in 2021. Official teasers show the Tesla Model S rival alongside the Vision EQS concept, and it’s obvious that some design details will be toned down for production; the wheels will shrink, while the lights more closely resemble those of the EQC SUV. However, a similarly vast, sleek body shape remains. At 5,295mm in length, the EQS’s unique all-electric platform measures 24mm longer than
a long-wheelbase S-Class. Likewise, the cabin will be toned down slightly from the concept, but Mercedes promises an environment that can be considered a “third place” alongside the home and the workplace. Should the roadgoing EQS match the stats of the concept, the electric saloon should be able to cover 435 miles on a single charge, while a 20-minute top up from a 350kW source will see 350 miles of range added in under 20 minutes. The twinmotor, four-wheel-drive powertrain will enable 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds.

THIS is our first look at Citroen’s nextgeneration C4, which will be the brand’s first car to use the PSA Group’s CMP platform, which it shares with the likes of the Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 2008 SUV. Spied here winter testing, the new vehicle will be a radical departure from both the C4 Cactus and C4 hatch, morphing into a bona-fide small SUV and one with a sloping roofline. Some elements of the old Cactus’ design will be retained, though, as hinted at by this mule’s low-mounted headlamps and narrow grille. The new car won’t be joined by a regular hatchback, with the C4 name to apply

solely to this new crossover. Petrol and diesel power is a given, but a fully electric variant is being prepared by Citroen as well. So far, all PSA electric vehicles using the CMP platform have been B-segment cars with 50kWh batteries, but it’s understood that the platform can accommodate up to 60kWh for larger, C-segment vehicles like the next C4. As such, a range of more than 200 miles should be well within reach, turning the Citroen into a proper competitor for the upcoming Volkswagen ID.4 SUV. Warning stickers on the rear of the test vehicle in our spy shots confirm that this is the all-electric version. With a distinctive shape and little body cladding, it suggests that the new model could be revealed well in advance of the Paris Motor Show in October.

Radical 4 Series ready to ● New coupé gets sportier looks ● One of six new models on way Jonathan Burn
EXCLUSIVE IMAGES
Jonathan_Burn@dennis.co.uk @Jonathan_burn
BMW has another busy year ahead, and the company is poised to reveal six new models. The most divisive of these will be the all-new 4 Series Coupé, which is due to be officially revealed in the summer, before going on sale at the end of the year. The firm’s recent design language – including ever-larger front grilles – has been a major talking point, and that is set to continue. Heavily disguised prototypes of the 4 Series are being put through the final stages of their development testing, and they’re hiding a big surprise. The 4 Series will be BMW’s first coupé to adopt an enlarged vertical grille since the E9 of the seventies. Previewed in our exclusive images, the more polarising look is designed to put greater distance between the coupé and the 3 Series saloon on which it’s based. Indeed, the BMW Concept 4 that previewed the forthcoming new model at last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show is said to be “85 per cent” the finished article. There will also be a focus on performance with the 4 Series line-up. A hot M440i xDrive version of the coupé is illustrated in our exclusive images, and marked out by its more aggressive bumper design. It will be powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged sixcylinder engine developing 369bhp, which deploys its power through an eight-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive. Above that, BMW will also engineer a flagship M4. This isn’t due until 2021, but it too will be powered by a 3.0-litre motor – one developed specifically by BMW’s M Division. This will be twin-turbocharged
and generate upwards of 500bhp. Plus for the first time in an M4, a selectable four-wheel-drive system will be used. Elsewhere at BMW, the German marque will unveil the final production version of the pure-electric iX3 SUV. This is due to be officially revealed in the coming months, and BMW has confirmed that the model will be able to cover at least 270 miles on a single charge, thanks to the use of a large 74kWh lithium-ion battery. It will also be the first BMW to use a new fifth-generation eDrive system that combines the electric motor, electronics and transmission into one central housing. The firm says the set-up is more compact and lighter than the previous system. The iX3 will develop 285bhp and 400Nm of torque, and power will be sent to the rear wheels, although an extra motor at the front could be introduced for four-wheel drive. The addition of an electric option to the X3 makes it the first BMW on offer with petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid or fully electric power. Later in the year, updated versions of the 5 Series saloon and Touring, along with the facelifted M5, will be introduced. An all-new M3 will arrive at the end of the year.

We get to grips with Nism ● Twin-motor Leaf racer driven ● Test bed for future EV tech
FIRSTDRIVE
Steve Sutcliffe
mail@autoexpress.co.uk
NISSAN has most definitely put the excitement into the letter E with its new Leaf RC, designed and built by its famed Nismo racing division. At the moment there are no plans to put the car into production, Nissan instead choosing to present it as a rolling test bed for technologies that may or may not make their way into the brand’s production EVs in the future. Either way, the twin-battery, twin-electric motor Leaf RC is a deeply impressive piece of kit, and is a seriously fast and potent machine as a result; the 0-62mph claim is 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 138mph. Each electric motor produces a maximum of 161bhp. There’s one for the front axle, and another at the rear. The combined outputs are 322bhp and a thumping 640Nm, deployed via a straight-cut single spur racing gearbox that emits enough noise on the move to make your ears hurt. It’s a pure racing car with a full carbon fibre tub at its core and carbon-fibre subframes at each end. Having said that, the RC doesn’t actually have a series in which to race. The idea behind it is simply to explore the outer edges of EV technology, some of which will end up in future electric road cars. This includes features such as the switchable four-wheel drive and power-deployment systems, and possibly parts of the braking system, too. In essence, the RC is powered by two Leaf e+ motors, hence its potency. The car’s total weight is just over 1,200kg, which isn’t bad for an EV road car, but is heavy for a pure-bred racer with a carbon tub at its centre. There are four different drive modes, each of which alters the spread of torque between the two axles, and again this is technology that may well make it into Nissan’s road EVs in the fullness of time. It was unfortunately raining rather heavily when we drove the RC around the MotoGP circuit at Valencia, Spain. As a result we were only allowed to drive it in ‘Map 4’, which is the least powerful setting. Even

“Even in the pouring rain, it was obvious just how much potential lies at the heart of the RC”
so, the RC still felt pretty rapid and was immensely responsive, despite being some 107bhp down compared with its full-beans setting of ‘Map 1’. There’s also no traction control and no anti-lock system for the brakes, so you need to be quite delicate with your inputs, especially under braking. But even in the pouring rain, it was obvious just how much potential lies at the heart

of the RC. And how unbelievably noisy its transmission is on the move. We need more time to get under the car’s skin to make a complete judgment, but even from this brief session, it’s clear that some of the RC’s new technology will make Nissan’s roadgoing EVs increasingly engaging to drive in the future. On this evidence, E really does stand for exciting.
Verdict AS a standalone product, the trackonly Nismo Leaf RC is little more than an intriguing sideshow in Nissan’s EV road car programme. But as a rolling test bed for Nissan’s future electric-car technology, it’s a lot more relevant. Some of its tech will appear on Nissan’s road cars in years to come, and if nothing else, it’s a heck of a thing to drive. In this respect, it’s hard not to be deeply impressed.

NEWS Smart motorway safety
SMART MOTORWAYS: Breakdow won’t stop for vehicles in closed
OFFICIAL Technicians can only start work once lane has been closed by police or Highways England Hugo Griffiths
Hugo_Griffiths@dennis.co.uk @hugo_griffiths
RECOVERY firm technicians are not permitted to stop and help motorists whose vehicles have broken down in lanes that have been closed with ‘red X’ signs on smart motorways, a recently uncovered set of industry guidelines has revealed. Instead, operatives must wait for police officers or Highways England staff to close the lane with emergency vehicles, or tow broken-down cars to a refuge area, before they can begin helping stranded drivers. The ‘best practice guidelines’ from the SURVIVE Group – comprising the Home Office, senior police officers, Highways England and major recovery firms – says breakdown operatives should “never work in a live lane of a motorway unless the lane has been closed by a Police vehicle, HE [Highways England] Traffic Officer vehicle or Impact Protection Vehicle. When working on smart motorways you should only provide service if the casualty vehicle is situated in an SOS Area or if the lane has been closed as above. Do not rely on a red X closure sign.” While it is illegal to drive in closed ‘red X’ lanes, 180,000 motorists received warning letters in the 18 months between 2017 and summer 2018 for the offence, which is now enforced by cameras and can result in three penalty points and a £100 fine. In September last year, accident data revealed the number of fatal motorway
collisions increased by a fifth in 2018 over the previous year, while a report written for Highways England and unearthed by the AA found that breaking down in the live lane of a smart motorway during off-peak hours is 216 per cent more dangerous than doing so on a conventional motorway. Highways England’s chief executive Jim O’Sullivan previously told the Transport Select Committee that dynamic smart motorways – which open the hard shoulder to traffic during times of congestion – are “just too complicated for people to use”. Proponents of smart motorways claim the roads are a cost-effective way of increasing traffic capacity, highlight that motorways are the safest type of road in the country, and cite evidence that smart motorways are safer than conventional motorways in some ways. That hasn’t stopped Transport Secretary Grant Shapps ordering an investigation into the roads, telling MPs: “We know people are dying on smart motorways.” Rotherham MP Sarah Champion, meanwhile, recently said: “There is no evidence that shows me ALR [all-lane running] can ever be delivered safely. I strongly believe the government must stop the rollout with immediate effect.” A spokesperson for Highways England told Auto Express: “The Transport Secretary has asked the Department for Transport to carry out, at pace, an evidence stocktake to gather the facts about smart motorway safety. We are committed to safety and are supporting the Department in its work.”
ON THE RECORD: What recovery services told us... Edmund King, president of the AA, which has long campaigned against smart motorways, said: “Being stuck in a live lane is incredibly dangerous. The official advice is to keep your seat belt and hazard lights on and dial 999. “It is not safe for breakdown organisations to recover vehicles unless the lane is closed and there’s a physical presence sat behind the casualty vehicle – either the Police with blue flashing lights or Highways England Traffic Officers with red lights. “This highlights the severity of breaking down in a live lane and further emphasises our calls for double the number of Emergency Refuge Areas. Providing drivers with more places of relative safety would reduce the risk of vehicles being stuck in a lane of fast-moving traffic.”
22 29 January 2020
A spokesperson for the RAC told us:
“This highlights the severity of breaking down in a live lane and further emphasises our calls for twice as many Emergency Refuge Areas” Edmund King AA president
“The safety of our members and patrols is paramount in a breakdown situation, including those on liverunning lanes, and our patrols follow the SURVIVE principles closely. “For drivers who break down on a live-running lane of a smart motorway, the RAC can only attend once Highways England has made the scene as safe as possible through the closure of lanes with red X signs and the attendance of Highways England Traffic Officers or police officers, to provide protection for both our patrols and customers.”
Damon Jowett, head of service delivery at Green Flag, said: “Our priority is always the safety of our customers, technicians and other road users. When recovering customers on smart motorways, we will always adhere to best practice and ensure our service provider is accompanied by either the relevant authorities or, if they’re not available at the time, other resources we are able to provide to ensure as safe as possible a recovery can be undertaken. “Other road user education is also a key factor, and that is why we have been, and continue to be, supporters of the ‘slow down, move over’ campaign.”

FROM: Neville Withers I REALLY enjoyed your feature on the Rover 200 (Issue 1,607). I remember driving my 214Si down to my friend’s holiday home in southern Italy in 1993. It swallowed all our luggage and wasn’t strained by the extra weight. Plus the engine never missed a beat.
FROM: Andrew Graham THE Mustang Mach-E (Issue 1,606) name is completely wrong. If Ford wants a separate brand for SUVs, it should bring back Mercury. The Mach-E has nothing meaningful in common with a Mustang. It may have three-bar taillights, but so do all new Peugeots.
High rates are hitting sales of new models
Autonomous concepts should take back seat
FROM: Jim Hyslop I’D argue that the UK’s ever-declining new car market is entirely self-inflicted. It’s the result of the high interest rates being charged on new car deals. These rates cannot be justified, given the bank rates. Consumers are savvy to this and are rightly voting with their wallets.

BORN TOO SO We look at the pioneering cars and technology that were simply too far ahead of their time to be a success Tom Barnard
CAR makers employ some brilliant minds to come up with new ideas for cars and tech, hoping they will become the next big thing. If they take off, they make millions. If they flop, they could knock the business back for
a decade. Sometimes, though, the idea is great, but buyers just aren’t ready for it. We take a look at some pioneering cars which were simply born too early, and also some of motoring’s Betamaxes: great ideas that never caught on.
Audi A2
RELEASE DATE: 1999 A SMALL car with a lightweight bodyshell and lowemission powertrain from a premium manufacturer. It sounds like something which would sell like hot cakes if it were launched today. Unfortunately for Audi the A2 was launched in 1999, when there was rather less concern for the environment or emissions-based taxes. Just 176,000 were made, but the A2 is now considered a modern classic.

INSIDE STORY
VW Polo Formel E Lamborghini LM-002 RELEASE DATE: 1986
THE Urus isn’t Lamborghini’s first SUV; in fact the company made a big, bold 4x4 in 1986. The LM-002 was originally conceived as a desert-bashing car for the military and oil companies, but it failed to find any buyers and was reimagined as the “Rambo Lambo” with V12 Countach power. Only 328 were made.
RELEASE DATE: 1985
WHEN cars started to be taxed according to emissions, makers rushed to fit features such as automatic engine stop-start. It’s not new, though; Volkswagen introduced it in 1985 with the Polo Formel E, and tried again in 1994 with the Golf Ecomatic. Back then, few drivers cared enough to pay the extra five per cent on the cars’ basic price.
“VW introduced stop-start with the Polo Formel E in 1985, and tried again in 1994 with the Golf Ecomatic”
Nissan Pao N RELEASE DATE: 1989 REL
VOLK VOLKSWAGEN’S 1997 New Beetle and the 2001 MINI are widely credited with kicking off the trend MIN for ‘r ‘retro’-styled cars. But Nissan was at it in 1989 with the Pao (below), and later in 1991, with the Figaro. Both were only available in Japan and Figa were a sell-out success, but Nissan lost money on e every one, and so limited the numbers it built.
Rover Streetwise RELEASE DATE: 2003
IN its dying days, MG Rover had some great ideas for how to rehash its ageing products for minimal money. One of them was to take the Rover 25, raise its ride height and add some off-road styling. It worked remarkably well, but the Streetwise disappeared along with the rest of MG Rover – although a version of the car did carry on in China.

Vauxhall Internet Pricing RELEASE DATE: 1999
IN 1999, Vauxhall predicted that selling cars on the web would take off in a big way. So it created special Corsa, Astra and Vectra ‘.com’ editions, which were only sold via the firm’s website and given a hagglefree ‘Vauxhall Internet Price’ (VIP). The idea was dropped in 2002 after only 780 cars had been sold.

INSIDE STORY Motoring’s trail-blazers Automotive tech that took a wrong turn IT’S not only cars that have failed to ride the automotive zeitgeist to sales success; there have been plenty of technological developments that have come and gone, too. Some have been killed off by the progress
of technology or legislation, while others have tried to revive old ideas to tackle new problems. Here we list some of the tech that was once at the cutting edge, but which has now been mostly consigned to history.
LPG
Honda HR-V RELEASE DATE: 1999
SOME of the best-selling cars in Britain are small crossover SUVs. These models are usually based on superminis, but feature butch bodywork and have marginally more ground clearance. Before the Nissan Juke made the crossover concept a mainstream success, Honda built the HR-V. It had a loyal fan base, but was too pricey to hit the big time.
AROUND 20 years ago the government offered a grant to encourage LPG usage in cars, because it’s cleaner-burning than petrol. Ford, Vauxhall, Rover, Volvo and even Proton offered gas cars. Then the funding disappeared, and LPG cars fell off the price lists.
Two-strokes
FORD experimented with a clean two-stroke engine in the early nineties. Prototype Fiestas were built and showed promise, but they simply couldn’t be made to pass the latest emission tests, and the project was canned.
Procon-ten
AUDI spent millions developing a clever safety aid for the 1986 Audi 80, which used cables and pulleys to pull the steering wheel away from the driver in a crash. It was brilliant, but then airbags arrived, which were more cost-effective.
GM EV-1
RELEASE DATE: 1996 GENERAL Motors launched an electric car with a 105mile range in 1996, 14 years before Nissan started selling the Leaf. It was a response to impending emissions rules in California, and 1,117 EV-1s were leased to customers. They loved them, but the legislation never became law, so GM demanded all of the EV-1s back and scrapped them.
HAVING doors that slide open makes a lot of sense as cars get wider and car park spaces seemingly shrink. But it also restricts the shape you can make the body, so odd lookers like the Peugeot 1007 city car flopped.
Xenon headlights
XENONS were essential kit for any posh car from the late nineties. The whiter light they produced was brighter and looked good, too. But now LEDs can do a better job for less money and energy, while also taking up a smaller space.
THE Mercedes SLK caused a flurry of other makers to introduce folding g metal roofs, which were supposed to bring the benefits of a coupé to
RELEASE DATE: 1995
AN SUV-Coupé might seem desirable now (see the Porsche Cayenne Coupé tested on Page 44), but in 1996 it was a crazy concept. That didn’t stop Suzuki from replacing the Vitara’s sensible boxy body with a rounded two-seat targa shell, and calling the new car the X90. It was a massive flop, and production lasted for only two years.

WITH strict emissions regulations coming into force in 2020, cars like the Peugeot 508 Hybrid are soon going to become much more common. And it’s as much for the manufacturers’ benefit as the buyers’; any car brands that fail to hit the CO2 targets will be subject to some eye-watering fines. Peugeot has certainly managed to nail the low-emission brief with the 508; officially it emits just 29g/km of CO2. But before we go into the details of how those emissions are possible, let’s recap on the 508. The Skoda Superb rival does things a little differently from others in the class, prioritising style while most competitors maximise space and practicality. At least the addition of the hybrid powertrain hasn’t affected the boot capacity, which still stands at 487 litres. The 508 is fun to drive, too, and this Hybrid doesn’t feel drastically different from the rest of the range. Grip is decent, the car stays flat through the corners, and once up to speed it feels stress-free at a cruise. Inside and out, there’s not much to separate the Hybrid from the conventional petrol and diesel. The body has a couple of subtle Hybrid badges stuck to the front wings, and there’s an extra flap on the nearside three-quarter panel, which covers the charging port. Step inside, and the dashboard still has the wow factor of a

concept car, only now there’s some revised graphics for the digital dials to show the energy use of both battery and combustion parts of the powertrain. The infotainment system – which is still irritating to use, not least because the heating functions are controlled for the most part by the touchscreen – gets a couple of extra menus. Press the piano key switch with a lightning motif on it to access the first menu, a page displaying some hybrid-specific functions. These include a real-time graphic of the hybrid system’s energy flow – how the power mix varies between electric and petrol during driving – plus a setting which allows you to hold charge in the battery for any lowemissions zones later in a journey. It’s a mode in which you’ll be able to do roughly 33 miles, at speeds of up to 84mph. Prod the starter button, and the 508 silently moves off, with the 108bhp motor perfectly adequate for keeping up in urban traffic. Should you need a little extra shove, the 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine chimes in. This makes an extra 178bhp on its own, but with both petrol and electrical pieces of the hybrid puzzle working at their best at different times, the total is 222bhp. That’s the same as in the most powerful petrol

508, but with this car carrying a couple of hundred kilos’ worth of battery pack, outright performance is blunted slightly. The 508’s Hybrid set-up isn’t quite as slick as some competitors’. Ask for more power and it takes a little while for the petrol engine to wake up and then make its own contribution. Of course, you can nudge the drive select switch into Sport, keeping the petrol engine ready at all times, but this, of course, uses more fuel. And saving fuel is what the 508 Hybrid has the potential to do exceptionally well. Officially, it manages 217mpg, but that’s completely dependent on the sort of journeys you do, and how good you are at keeping the battery topped up. If you have a readily available charging point, say at home or at a workplace, and only a modest commute, it’s entirely

possible that you’ll barely need to use the Peugeot’s petrol engine at all. The 508 Hybrid isn’t available in the most basic Active trim level, but it’s offered in the other three. The Allure has all the equipment you’d really need: 17-inch alloys, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in sat-nav and a reversing camera. Prices for the Hybrid start from £34,875 in Allure trim and climb to £40,630 for the GT. That’s a lot of money for a private buyer to stomach, and given that petrol or diesel versions cost several thousand pounds less, you’d need to cover serious mileages (or live in a low-emission zone) before you start to recoup the cost. However, for company car users, it makes a lot of sense, because new Benefit-in-Kind tax bands very much favour fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. It means that, for a 508 Hybrid in Allure trim, users in the 40 per cent tax bracket will be paying £1,395 per year. By contrast, even the least polluting diesel, the 1.5 BlueHDi making the best part of 100bhp less, will cost £2,415.
www.autoexpress.co.uk
Verdict COMPANY car users who are looking for a handsome and comfortable model – that isn’t an SUV – should certainly consider the Peugeot 508 Hybrid. The latest Benefit In Kind rules mean that this will be by far the cheapest 508 in the range to run and, specifically, to tax. Anyone with easy access to charging will be able to benefit from potentially tiny running costs, too. But for private buyers this top-spec GT trim is pricey.

NEWCARS Bentley Continental GT V8
Bentley Continental GT V8 FIRST UK DRIVE New eight-cylinder model is arguably a better choice than the W12 Jonathan Burn
Jonathan_Burn@dennis.co.uk @Jonathan_burn
PRICE is unlikely to be of huge concern for potential Bentley customers. But the arrival of the Continental GT V8 in the UK brings with it a substantial £10,000 saving over the flagship W12 model. At £151,800, it’s still far from cheap, but it becomes the entry point to the Continental line-up. In place of Bentley’s whopping 626bhp 6.0-litre W12, you’ll find a 542bhp 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 under the bonnet. It’s an engine we’ve become quite familiar with, because it powers other VW Group products such as the Porsche Panamera Turbo, Lamborghini Urus and Audi RS 6. Here it’s paired to an eight-speed automatic gearbox and an adaptive four-wheel-drive system. Despite the smaller capacity and lower cylinder count, the new GT V8 is still an outrageously quick car. Bentley claims that it will do 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds – only 0.2 second behinds the W12 model. And

with a 90-litre fuel tank, you can, in theory, cover 470 miles between fill ups. Climb in and first impressions are of a car that places luxury and opulence right at the top of its priorities. Every surface has been covered in quilted leather, brushed aluminium or polished wood veneer. Power might come from the junior V8, but there’s still the same attention to detail and class in here that you’ll find in the W12. If there’s a criticism – and quite a mild one at that – it’s the rather cluttered and buttonheavy centre console. That aside, few other cars cocoon occupants in such lavish luxury. Once fired up, the V8 engine settles into a bassy idle. The engine remains a distant hum in all but Sport mode, barely rising beyond 2,000rpm as the eight-speed auto slurs its way through the gears. Refinement at low speed is first class, the GT V8 gliding over minor road imperfections and smoothing out larger bumps and potholes.

unexpected sense of athleticism to be found in this big, bruising GT. The V8 is down on power over the W12, but only on paper. In the real world, it feels monstrously quick. A surge of torque arrives at 1,900rpm and doesn’t begin to tail off until just shy of 5,000rpm, so there’s
always vast reserves of power at any speed. And despite having four-fewer cylinders than the W12, the V8 sounds much better, emitting a deep, bassy bellow. Pops and bangs would be far too antisocial for a Bentley; instead thundering burbles erupt from the exhaust when you lift off the throttle.
FEW cars, if any, manage to combine performance, luxury and comfort as well as the Bentley Continental GT V8. Its broad set of abilities appears to come without compromise, and for that reason it earns the full five stars. Not only is it the best Continental yet, and a fantastic entry-point into the range, it’s also simply one of the greatest modern Bentleys.

Renault Clio E-Tech Hybrid
FIRST DRIVE Petrol-electric drive system with F1 technology appears in latest supermini Vicky Parrott
Vicky_Parrott@dennis.co.uk @VickyParrott
THE Renault Clio Hybrid is a vehicular Rubik’s Cube. It seems straightforward at first; it’s a small five-door hatchback that’s now offered with a full hybrid powertrain, consisting of an auto gearbox, 1.6-litre petrol engine and an electric motor to help keep emissions down and performance up. Or, to be a little more precise, CO2 of less than 90g/km (precise efficiency figures have yet to be confirmed) and power of 138bhp. And that’s all you really need to know. You don’t need to know that it has a ‘clutchless’ dog gearbox derived from Formula One tech. Nor that it has two electric motors – one driving the car, a second that functions as a brake-regeneration module, starter motor and occasional power booster. You might not even want to know that it has two gears for the primary electric motor and four for the engine, plus no fewer than 15 operating combinations – including an EV mode that can power the car at up to 40mph. Renault claims it’ll even propel the Clio up to 80 per cent of the time in town traffic. You don’t need to know all this, because trying to fathom the engineering wizardry is as baffling as that aforementioned plastic toy. But it is useful to be aware of how multi-faceted the powertrain is, because it’s a busy-feeling system in practice. With the set-up in the default ‘My Sense’ hybrid mode, we could feel the petrol engine and electric motor shuffling responsibilities in our pre-production car, occasionally thumping down a gear as you lift off the throttle and the brake regeneration kicks in. Speaking of which, there are two levels of energy recovery. In standard mode it’s very
32 29 January 2020
mild, while nudging the gearlever into ‘B’ mode makes it so strong that you can almost drive it using the throttle pedal alone in town. Although this is a slightly restless powertrain, it is always impressively quiet. Even at full throttle the revs don’t spike wildly as you find in most full hybrids, and it delivers a decent mid-range burst of power, too. Stick it in electric mode and, of course, it feels seamless, calm and usefully nippy at town speeds. While we didn’t drive it for long enough to vouch for Renault’s claims regarding the urban pure-electric potential, nor to get an idea of real-world economy, it bodes well that the Clio E-Tech spends a useful amount of time in electric mode – more than the outgoing Toyota Yaris Hybrid. Otherwise, the Clio steers and handles sweetly, albeit with a slightly firm ride. The interior is spacious, well finished and a very comfortable place to spend time in, which is why we already rate the standard Clio very highly. Will the hybrid version be worth what’s likely to be some £18,500 to £22,000, depending on which of the three trims you go for? We’ll have to wait for final pricing and efficiency figures, not to mention a chance to test real-world economy, before we can deliver a final judgement. PAGE 36: Clio vs 208 supermini clash

THE SUV boom is so far-reaching and such a successful moneyspinner that brands are now injecting more ‘lifestyle’ into conventional cars to boost profit-making potential. Take Audi and the A1 Citycarver. Essentially it’s a standard A1 Sportback supermini with around 4cm more ground clearance and a ‘robust off-road look’, according to Audi. So some psuedo-SUV black plastic wheelarch cladding, then. It is in effect a trim level of the A1 range, and is available with the 35 TFSI engine, or this 30 TFSI unit we’re testing here. That denotes Audi’s 114bhp 1.0litre three-cylinder turbo petrol, which comes with a six-speed manual gearbox. The powertrain is as good here as it is in a regular A1 – smooth, torquey and refined, with a nice, slick gearshift. The 0-62mph sprint takes 9.5 seconds, which is quick enough, while the cabin offers enough space; combined with the
335-litre boot, it’s practical. What is different to the regular A1 is the ride. With that extra suspension travel to soak up bumps, the Citycarver feels softer and more settled. There’s no loss of steering precision, grip or poise, just a more forgiving edge to the damping, which is as much a bonus on B-roads and motorways as it is in the car’s intended environment: around town. Citycarvers feature LED lights, different trim on the grille, sports seats, an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system coupled with a 10.25-inch digital dash, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, cruise control, parking sensors and – a must for any city car – autonomous braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, so they’re pretty well equipped. But then you’d hope so for the price. The Citycarver costs £1,400 more than an A1 Sport, which comes with a similar level of kit. It’s on this basis that it’s difficult to recommend the Citycarver over the standard car, especially given the fact that some interior materials feel less than premium given the A1 Citycarver’s price, even if it’s clear the tech offering is the best in this class.
NEED TO KNOW
Verdict ON this evidence at least, the new Clio promises to be by far the best small hybrid car on offer. Its supremely clever, but slightly busy-feeling powertrain makes the supermini refined and punchy. If the official fuel economy and emissions figures can live up to Renault’s high expectations, and the car is sold at an attractive price, then the firm could have a real winner on its hands.

NEWCARS Smart EQ ForFour Alex Ingram
Alex_Ingram@dennis.co.uk @AxleIngram
THIS is the Smart EQ ForFour. After the government’s £3,500 plug-in car grant has been taken into account, it’s priced from £17,285, placing the new car right into the same ballpark as the VW Group electric city car trio of the Skoda Citigo-e iV, the SEAT Mii Electric and the Volkswagen e-up!. It’s an update to the Smart range (the smaller ForTwo Coupé and Cabriolet also get similar revisions) following two big changes for the company: first, the move to drop combustion engines completely in order to operate as a fully electric manufacturer; and second, since Chinese giant Geely took a 50 per cent stake in the company to form a joint venture with Mercedes. The latter should see some interesting developments over the coming years. The first result of the collaboration will be shown in 2022, when an all-new Smart makes its debut, and the firm has confirmed that it will be expanding into the larger supermini segment, too. While the name of the EQ ForFour is new, the updates to the car are mostly cosmetic. From the outside, the hatch gets a sleeker bonnet, larger air dam and some refreshed tail-lights, while new wheel designs and colours also feature. The cabin feels a step up in quality over most city car rivals, and for 2020 there are a couple of extra cupholders and a smartphone tray. What hasn’t changed, however, is the infotainment system: a rather clunky, slow Renault-derived set-up which lacks Apple CarPlay. Happily, a larger screen with full smartphone compatibility will be offered within a couple of months. Access to the cabin is reasonably easy, thanks to doors that open extremely wide, but there’s only so much that can be done to provide space for passengers inside a car that is less than 3.5 metres long. The boot is a rather minuscule 185 litres, too, due to the location of the electric motor. Under the skin, the EQ ForFour carries on with the same rear-mounted 80bhp motor driving the back wheels. A 12.7-second 0-62mph time is 0.2 seconds down on the VW Group cars’. But that’s not much on paper, and at town speeds, the ForTwo feels lively. Its peak torque of 160Nm is instantly available, and it helps the Smart dart around with a puppy-like enthusiasm. It’s really manoeuvrable, too. The car’s tiny turning circle and narrow body make fighting through crowded streets a cinch, and only a hum that’s generated to act as a warning to pedestrians disturbs the peace at low speed. However the ride comfort isn’t quite as good as a Hyundai i10’s. With the battery pack mounted low in the chassis, the EQ feels more stable through corners than the now-discontinued petrol version of the ForFour, but the likes of the i10 and the up! still handle more sweetly. For some buyers, though, the biggest issue with the Smart EQ will be its range. A 17kWh battery means that, based on the official WLTP testing figures, it’ll cover around 81 miles between charging. That number is almost precisely half that of the Skoda Citigo-e IV – fine for a commuter

Top models have LED headlights, while the ride comfort doesn’t match a Hyundai i10’s car but impractical for anyone who might want to venture beyond the city limits. Still, a 22kW on-board charger is fitted as standard, so topping up the battery from 10 to 80 per cent takes as little as 40 minutes. The ForFour comes in a choice of three trim levels, and the entry-level Passion Advanced has pretty much all the kit that any city car buyer really needs; 15-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, climate control, and
parking sensors are all fitted as standard. If you wish to venture higher up the range, however, the extra £1,150 for the Pulse Premium brings 16-inch alloys, a pair of sunroofs and a reversing camera. Top-spec Prime Exclusive adds LED head and tail-lights, foglights with a cornering function, rain-sensing wipers and ambient interior lighting. Including the government grant, this flagship costs £19,585.

Verdict WHILE previous Smarts were often criticised for high prices, the EQ ForFour is competitive with electric city car rivals from the Volkswagen Group. It feels more charming yet substantial inside, too, and is more manoeuvrable, but its range won’t be enough for some. Still, if you assess the car purely as an urban runaround, its low running costs mean that it’s worth a look.

Testers’ notes
“Peugeot has stuck with its i-Cockpit interior design. The first iteration of this didn’t work too well but we’ve seen how the second-generation set-up is better ergonomically in cars such as the 3008. Let’s hope it’s as easy to live with in the 208.”

OVER the past few months a flurry of new superminis has hit the market, with new versions of cars that are massively important to UK buyers, such as the Renault Clio and Vauxhall Corsa, going on sale. The latest to arrive is the Peugeot 208. An all-new platform and vastly different styling to its predecessor mean the 208 is angling for top honours, but to take them it’ll have to beat our current class favourite: the Renault Clio. It has seen off the challenge from the Ford Fiesta, SEAT Ibiza, Vauxhall Corsa and Volkswagen Polo in quick succession already, so we know it has what it takes in a tightly fought supermini market. It also has price on its side compared with the Peugeot, which costs more than the Clio here. But is the 208 better value? That’s what we’re aiming to find out in this test by putting both cars through our full road test. The winner will have to impress in every area, though, so comfort and refinement, decent driving dynamics, strong efficiency and plenty of technology will all have to be present in the supermini that succeeds here, and the pace of progress in this sector means with every new car that arrives these qualities are moving on rapidly.

just shy of the Renault) as well as a little more handling agility on twistier roads. Neither model’s gearbox is brilliant, but the 208’s shift action feels better than the transmission in other Peugeots we’ve tested, which is a positive. Both cars are close from behind the wheel, then. The 208 shades it for performance and handling, while the Clio is just a little comfier.
PEUGEOT is pinning its hopes on its all-new 208 supermini stealing sales off rivals in one of the tightest sectors of the new car market, so it has its work cut out. One of those is the new Renault Clio, so we’re testing Peugeot’s 208 in 1.2 PureTech Allure trim (£18,850) to see whether it can succeed.
Design & engineering

IT’S the Peugeot’s styling that really catches your eye first. While there’s plenty of clever new tech underpinning this supermini, it’s the angular lines, solid surfaces and tusk-like LED running lights that set the 208’s style. It looks every inch the modern supermini, while there’s technology to back it up underneath. That’s because the 208 is based on Peugeot’s CMP platform, something it shares with the new Vauxhall Corsa following Peugeot/Citroen’s buyout of Opel/Vauxhall. There are similar strengths and similar weaknesses, as we’ll see, while it also shares engine tech. The 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo PureTech 100 unit has a little more capacity compared with the Clio’s, so it’s no surprise it makes more torque, at 205Nm compared with the 160Nm Renault. There’s 100bhp on tap, too, while the 1,090kg Peugeot is 88kg lighter than the Renault, so it should have the measure of the Clio for performance. But superminis are about so much more than straight-line ability. They have to offer practicality, low running costs and decent equipment, too. We’ll come to the two former points shortly, but where kit is concerned the Peugeot gives best to the Renault. Not only is it £2,355 more expensive, but it also lacks satnav (£650) and LED lights (£800). The Clio gets these. At least Allure trim gets climate and cruise control as standard, plus autonomous braking, lane-keep assist, wireless charging, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving you nav through your connected device. The Peugeot’s interior design is modern, but the materials aren’t quite as nice as those in the Clio, even if the design feels a bit fresher. The i-cockpit set-up is still rather problematic, too.

THE extra torque from the 208’s engine is very noticeable on the move. Against the watch it showed in our in-gear acceleration tests, where the Peugeot took 11.5 seconds to go from 50 to 70mph in top gear; the Clio needed 15.7 seconds. While the 208 has an extra ratio to further improve the motor’s flexibility, there’s no denying it’s the punchier, feistier unit. The Renault’s performance is adequate, the 208’s more impressive. The 0-60mph sprint proves this, at 9.8 seconds compared with 11.2 seconds, while the engine is almost as refined. You hear a little more percussion from under the bonnet than in the Clio, but not much, and it’s a small price to pay for the extra performance. Yet performance is likely to matter less to most buyers, as long as it meets a minimum standard. Comfort could well be more important. Both cars are evenly matched when it comes to the ride. The Peugeot’s body control is just a little better and it feels slightly firmer, but the damping absorbs bumps well and it remains settled most of the time, delivering enough comfort on the motorway (but

THE CMP architecture clearly isn’t as well packaged as the Clio’s new platform, because the 208 feels more cramped in the rear; there’s not as much legroom while access isn’t as easy as in the Renault. But it also loses out on boot space, because there’s only 311 litres of luggage room in the Peugeot, compared with 391 litres in the Renault. This is a big gulf and a potential issue for those journeys where you might be carrying four people and their suitcases. Parking sensors are included, which is handy because rearward visibility isn’t the greatest, yet this is also a problem the Clio suffers with. But you can’t add a reversing camera on Allure trim, which you can for £400 on the Clio Iconic.

SOMEWHAT surprisingly for a modern, all-new supermini, the Peugeot only scored four stars out of five in its Euro NCAP crash test. However, it does get autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection and lane-keep assist, but there’s no extra safety tech available on the options list. You’ll have to upgrade to GT Line spec to get the full suite of safety tech. Ownership prospects are still respectable, though, because Peugeot finished 12th in our most recent Driver Power owner satisfaction survey last year. This was seven places ahead of Renault.

THE 208’s price works against it when it comes to company car tax. Although it emits marginally less CO2 than the Clio, at 97g/km, both models sit in the same 23 per cent Benefit-in-Kind tax bracket. It means lower-rate earners will pay £109 more per year to run the 208, at £859 in company car tax. If you’re a private buyer it’ll also hold on to less cash. Our experts predict the Peugeot will retain 38.7 per cent of its list price compared with 44 per cent for the Clio, which works out to depreciation of £11,549 and just £9,232 respectively. The Peugeot will therefore be worth £7,301 and the Renault £7,263.

The range starts with Active, which gets air-con, Peugeot’s i-Cockpit with a seveninch touchscreen plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus autonomous emergency braking. With a £2,000 deposit, this trim costs £252 a month on a three-year deal limited to 10,000 miles per annum, helped by an £850 deposit contribution. It costs £28 more a month but we’d go for Allure, because it adds wireless charging, climate control and Peugeot’s 3D i-Cockpit, plus different wheels and interior trim. GT Line trim is £309 a month. It features front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, 17-inch wheels and full LED lights, but it’s not worth the extra in our opinion.

set-up means it fidgets just a little more on the road, whether that’s around patchwork urban streets, crowned country lanes and even smoother motorways. It’s not by much, but the Clio feels softer, more forgiving, and more comfortable as a result. There’s more weight to the Renault’s steering, although it’s obviously the slightly less dynamic car, due to its focus on comfort. It doesn’t change direction or handle with quite the same precision as the Peugeot, but it’s not by much and it offers more in other areas as a trade-off.
STRAIGHT away, the Renault shows its value for money. In Iconic trim it gets more equipment than the Peugeot yet costs less, priced from £16,495 with the TCe 100 engine. The Renault has already notched up two road test wins in just a few months on sale, but it’ll need to offer more than just value to rack up the hat-trick, so let’s see if it has what it takes.
Design & engineering
4.0
LIKE the Peugeot, this new fifth-generation Clio is based on an all-new platform for the model, with Renault’s supermini adopting the CMF-B architecture. It uses the same suspension design as the Peugeot and the Clio’s predecessor, but the new platform has allowed its designers to manipulate the packaging so that the car’s dimensions are actually smaller than the fourthgeneration car’s, yet there’s more space inside. At 1,178kg, the Clio is heavier than the 208, but not enough that the 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged TCe 100 engine can’t cope, as we’ll see. It kicks out 99bhp and 160Nm of torque – this latter figure is some way down on the larger-engined 208’s output – while the Renault is fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox compared with the six-speed unit in the Peugeot. We’ll see if this makes much of a difference to performance and cruising refinement. One area where the Renault does have the Peugeot beaten is kit. Despite costing £2,355 less, it gets sat-nav, CarPlay, Android Auto and connected services as part of its seven-inch touchscreen, which works well enough (see Infotainment on P42 for more details). It also features a good level of safety tech, parking sensors and LED headlights, while there’s potential to add options, such as a reversing camera (£400), that are not available on the 208. However, on the Peugeot you can opt for more luxurious items that are unavailable on the Clio, such as heated leather seats as part of a £1,400 pack. The Renault’s interior might not look quite as slick or premium as the Peugeot’s, but the Clio beats the 208 for quality because there are just a few places where the materials are softer and more tactile. But, the build quality is about equal in both cars. First blood to the Renault, then, when it comes to cost, kit and quality, because they’re all square when it comes to the engineering that underpins them. But do they feel any different on the road?

THE answer is yes. The Clio feels like a larger, more mature car, thanks to its softer ride and relatively impressive refinement for an affordable supermini. Its TCe engine is quiet, unless you really rev it hard, and is a little less vocal than the Peugeot’s 1.2-litre unit, but it doesn’t have the legs to stay with its French rival. It took 11.2 seconds to accelerate from 0-60mph, 11 seconds to go from 30 to 70mph through the gears and 15.7 seconds to go from 50 to 70mph in top gear (fifth). This compares with 9.8, 9.6 and 11.5 seconds respectively in the Peugeot; that latter figure (in sixth) showing how the 208 makes swifter and sometimes easier progress than the Clio. Neither car has a particularly precise or involving gearchange and, although it’s good, the 208’s firmer

THE work Renault’s engineers put into the Clio’s packaging really shows. Access to the rear seats is slightly easier than in the 208 and there’s a little more room back there, too, particularly legroom. But it doesn’t sacrifice boot space either, because there are an extra 80 litres with the back seats up, for a total of 391 litres. That’s more than the new Volkswagen Golf, so while it’s not quite as roomy as some family cars in the rear, there’s enough luggage room for four people’s bags, meaning the Renault can operate as a family car more convincingly than the 208. The interior has enough storage, and the Clio pegs it here, because despite the Peugeot’s extremely modern design, with a big central bin, cupholders, a tray in front of the gearlever and good-sized door bins, practicality is good.

WE’VE already seen Renault trailed Peugeot in our Driver Power 2019 satisfaction study, and the brand’s dealers weren’t as convincing as Peugeot’s, either, with Renault’s official network finishing 26th out of 31 manufacturers. Peugeot’s garages took 16th spot. Renault does offer three years’ roadside assistance to Peugeot’s 12 months, though, while servicing costs are good at £449 for three years’ routine maintenance. The 208’s servicing prices have yet to be finalised. Safety technology is also strong, because the Clio matches the 208’s tally, with autonomous braking and lane-keep assist as standard, but the Renault scored a full five-star result in Euro NCAP tests.

ANY supermini has to be efficient and these two downsized turbo hatches live up to that billing. The Renault returned 44mpg on test, which means you’ll spend £1,587 per year in fuel. The Peugeot returned just a little less at 43.3mpg, which equates to a annual spend of £1,613 on petrol. There’s very little between them.

Iconic trim is our pick because it adds a seven-inch touchscreen with nav and parking sensors for £234 a month. S Edition adds climate control, auto lights and wipers, a seven-inch driver display to go with the larger 9.3-inch central touchscreen, front parking sensors and a rear-view camera, but at £254 a month, it doesn’t seem as good value as Iconic.

Key features: Nav, bigger 10-inch screen ALLURE trim has a seven-inch touchscreen as standard. Sat-nav isn’t built in, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, so navigation is available through your smartphone. These programmes both work well. Our car featured the upgraded 10-inch screen, Connected and 3D Navigation (£650 pack), but even this improved set-up could respond to inputs quicker. The slight lag makes the climate controls integrated into the screen all the more frustrating. The bigger screen has temperature shortcuts at the side, but with the standard unit, you have to come out of one menu and go into another to do something simple like change the fan speed or temperature. At least the touch-sensitive shortcut keys are a nice touch and make this task easier. The graphics are strong enough and the system matches the Clio’s for ease of operation. Wireless charging is standard.

Key features: 7” screen, connectivity ICONIC trim features Renault’s Easy Link seven-inch touchscreen set-up that features nav as standard. It therefore matches the 208’s display size and also gets CarPlay and Android Auto. It works well enough in the Renault, however, as in the 208, the screen and system could respond quicker to your inputs. There are also fiddly functions you have to use the screen for, such as adjusting audio volume. At least you can use the steering wheel stalk to do this, but it’s frustrating that simple functions are complicated to carry out. The screen resolution can’t quite match the brighter and sharper 208’s, while the Peugeot’s standard digital dash gives its cabin a more hi-tech feel compared with the Clio’s, although you can upgrade the Renault’s 4.2-inch digital display. You can’t add options such as wireless charging, which is a nice touch in the 208, but there are lots of USB charging points in the Clio.

NOT only is the Clio cheaper, but our experts predict it will also retain quite a bit more value than the 208. That’s better for cash and PCP buyers. BIGGEST BOOT
PART of the Clio’s advantage in practicality comes from its bigger boot. Both cars are easy to load and offer enough space for most users’ needs most of the time. SAFETY
TO offer a top supermini, brands have to provide decent safety kit. Both Clio and 208 feature AEB and lane-keep assist as standard.

THERE’S little to split the two cars when it comes to kit, but the Renault has a slight advantage. Wireless charging would be nice.
1st
IT'S hard to look past the price difference here, whether you’re buying with cash or finance. The Clio is cheaper by some margin, but you don’t really lose out when it comes to kit. It’s refined and comfortable, if not quite as fun to drive as the 208, but offers more practicality, affordable running costs, decent tech and just enough performance. It’s still our top pick in the class.

PRICE
WHILE it’s a great supermini, compared with the Clio the 208 looks just a little pricey; this also affects monthly PCP payments.
ENGINE
IT’S obvious from the figures that the 208’s torquier 1.2 is the gutsier unit. It feels it on the road too, with more oomph in gear.
head STYLING BOTH these nameplates have come a long way and now sit right towards the top of the class. Along with the engineering that’s brought them bang up to date, their styling has had a big impact on this. While it’s subjective, along with the tech that’s trickled down from more expensive models, the designs are sharp, helped by clever use of LED running lights, for example.
ECONOMY
BOTH machines were well matched when it came to fuel economy. These efficient hatches should be costeffective to run.
2nd
THE 208 runs the Clio closer than any car before it. Its interior is nice, with advanced infotainment, the engine is sweeter than the Renault’s and offers more performance, and the car handles better. But the Peugeot looks pricey by comparison and isn’t as practical. Its good points aren’t quite enough to offset the deficiencies in these areas, but it's still a solid, more dynamic choice.
VERSATILITY BOTH of these cars are much more practical than their predecessors, to the point where they can both operate occasionally as family transport. But it’s the Clio that’s roomier in the rear, offers better access to the back and has more boot space, so it’s the more flexible machine in this respect. If you have a growing family or kids that need ferrying around, the Clio just shades the 208 when it comes to usability.

THE new Porsche Cayenne Coupé has been designed to capitalise on growing interest from buyers of high-end, sporty SUVs who really want exclusive style from their new car. It’s very closely related to the standard Cayenne, but a sloping roofline at the rear end gives it a sportier look, while the model retains the high-up driving position that fans of SUVs

love. Another model that really influenced the SUV style stakes was the Range Rover Sport. Of course we’ve tested this model before, but serial updates have kept it fresh, and it’s now available with a new engine that brings it close to the Cayenne for specification. The P400 we’re testing has a 3.0-litre straight-six petrol motor under the bonnet, which means
it’s a rival for the entry-level version of the Cayenne Coupé, which has a 3.0-litre V6. We’ll find out which of these high-end models is the best to drive and which has the best engine, but every other area will also go under the microscope. The winner will need to satisfy in the other core areas that SUV buyers are looking for: hi-tech kit, comfort, luxury and quality.

ROAD TESTS Porsche Cayenne Coupé vs Range Rover Sport MODEL TESTED: Porsche Cayenne Coupé
PRICE: £63,464 ENGINE: 3.0-litre V6, 335bhp THE Porsche Cayenne Coupé is available with a range of engines, and here we’re looking at the entry-level version with a 3.0-litre turbo V6 petrol. It costs from £63,464, which is around £5,000 more than the equivalent Cayenne SUV in the same spec.
Design & engineering
4.0
THE Cayenne Coupé uses Porsche’s MLB Evo platform, so it shares parts with the Audi Q7/Q8, Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus and VW Touareg. This advanced platform uses multi-link suspension all round, and Porsche has tuned it to deliver sharp handling, as buyers would expect of the brand. Adaptive air suspension is available for £1,511, and this adds self-levelling that continuously varies the damping to suit conditions. There’s also Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), which costs £2,315 and uses active stabilisation to further reduce roll. As with some other MLB Evo models, you can add rear-wheel steering (£1,448) too. This set-up turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the fronts at low speed, tightening the turning circle, and the same way as the fronts at higher speed to boost stability. The Cayenne Coupé uses a 3.0-litre V6 turbo, which is different to the 2.9-litre V6 in the S version, and it has 335bhp and 450Nm of torque. This trails the new P400 engine in the Range Rover Sport, which has 395bhp and 550Nm. Both use eight-speed automatic gearboxes driving all four wheels. The Porsche’s cabin is more driver-focused than the Range Rover Sport’s, and it has a great driving position that’s reminiscent of the brand’s sports cars without losing the high-up feel you get from an SUV. Material quality is very good, and the Cayenne feels better built than its rival as well. Standard kit includes 19-inch wheels, leather seats, a powered tailgate and a widescreen infotainment system with connected services and Apple CarPlay.

WE already know that the Cayenne is at the top of its class when it comes to handling and driver enjoyment, and the Coupé is no different. It retains some Porsche handling magic even with its high, heavy body. The steering is precise and well weighted, the suspension controls body roll very well and there’s lots of grip. The powertrain is down on power next to its rival here, but performance is still excellent. The Porsche was faster than its rival from 0-60mph by nearly a second: it took 5.2 seconds in our tests, while the British car took 6.1 seconds. The Cayenne was also quicker from 30-70mph through the gears, taking 4.8 seconds (the Range Rover Sport took 5.2). This is partly because the Porsche is 255kg lighter, and partly because the gearbox is excellent – it shifts very quickly in manual mode, yet isn’t jerky, while in auto mode it’s smooth and relaxed. The V6 engine is fit for purpose, too, because it has a sporty-sounding exhaust note when you rev it hard, yet it’s quiet and smooth enough to feel luxurious in everyday driving. It’s a more urgent and responsive engine than the straight six in the Range Rover Sport, which feels muted and relaxed in comparison. It means the Cayenne Coupé seems

more alert and lively from behind the wheel, its eager motor matching the sharp handling. The Cayenne Coupé is comfortable, too. Sophisticated damping means it gets smoother the faster you go, soaking up bumps on the motorway easily. Its heavy kerbweight is noticeable when you go over big bumps around town, though, and at low speed the Cayenne doesn’t deal with poor road surfaces as well as we’d like. Neither does the Range Rover Sport – these cars’ large wheels prevent them from settling down until higher speeds get the dampers working harder. This means both are much more at home on the motorway than around town – probably a blessing given their size and limited visibility. Wind and road noise is minimal in the Cayenne Coupé, and the strong performance means overtaking is easy.

THE Cayenne Coupé’s sloping roofline means that there’s less glass in the back windows, so it’s a bit dark in the rear seats. There’s loads of legroom, but headroom is tight in the back, and there are only two seats. This means the Porsche loses out in a big way in this respect. With 625 litres of space in the boot, it’s still pretty practical, despite the low roofline. This figure isn’t as impressive as the Range Rover Sport’s 780 litres, though, and the British model also has plenty of room in the rear, where there’s a full bench rather than the two individual seats in the back of the Porsche. There’s even a seven-seat option, adding two extra seats in the boot that are suitable for kids. The Range Rover Sport is the more practical choice.

The Range Rover Sport with its new six-cylinder engine returned 23.0mpg, which works out at £3,024 a year. Both models sit in the top 37 per cent bracket for company car tax, but the Porsche’s lower list price means it’s cheaper as a company vehicle.

THROUGH THE RANGE Which trim level might suit you? PORSCHE doesn’t offer a range of specifications with the Cayenne Coupé, because you choose the engine and then add the options you want. On a finance deal using a £7,000 deposit covering 36 months and 10,000 miles a year, it costs £773 a month. As standard, the car comes with 20-inch alloys, two-zone climate control, eight-way electric sports seats, a powered tailgate, LED headlights, sat-nav, Apple CarPlay and a 10-speaker stereo system. Popular options include adaptive air suspension (£1,511), rear-wheel steering (£1,448), heated seats (£308) and a sports exhaust (£2,012). We’d keep a careful eye on those prices, though, because they can quickly add up. We reckon air suspension is well worth adding, though.

THIS is the first time we’ve tested the Range Rover Sport with the 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine, although like the rest of the range, it still comes with an eight-speed automatic gearbox that sends power to all four wheels. It’s a powerful motor, with 395bhp and 550Nm of torque beating the Porsche’s figures of 335bhp and 450Nm. However, the Range Rover’s kerbweight of 2,285kg holds it back. This engine features mild-hybrid tech, with a bigger battery designed to boost efficiency. There’s a lot of suspension and chassis technology included on the Range Rover Sport. Air suspension is standard, with adjustable height settings for ease of access or extra ground clearance where required. For off-roading, there’s an electronic centre differential and Land Rover’s Terrain Response system, which has different modes to choose from: Comfort, Grass/ Gravel/Snow, Mud and Ruts, Sand, and Eco. For £930 you can buy the Off Road Pack, which adds a transfer box to switch between high and low ratios, and Terrain Response 2, adding extra tech including a rockcrawling mode. The P400 comes with driving modes as standard, so you can adjust its on-road manners. If you’re buying an SUV with the intention of taking it off-road, the Range Rover Sport is among the best options around – the electronics make light work of tough conditions and the chassis is built with this in mind, in contrast to the Cayenne Coupé, which is focused on being good to drive on-road. There’s more equipment included than on the Cayenne Coupé. The Range Rover Sport comes with 20-inch wheels, matrix LED headlights, heated leather seats, keyless entry, climate control, a reversing camera, digital instruments and two central touchscreen displays for the infotainment, including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

THE Range Rover Sport isn’t as sharp to drive as its rival, but it’s still excellent when you consider how heavy it is. Well weighted steering and a good level of grip mean it’s still relatively engaging for an SUV, and with plenty of performance, it doesn’t lag behind its sportier rival. It wasn’t as quick from 0-60mph, but the Range Rover’s extra torque meant it was faster in all of our in-gear tests. For example, it took 2.5 seconds to go from 30-50mph in third, while the Porsche took 2.8 seconds, and it took 6.5 seconds to go from 50-70mph in sixth gear, where the Cayenne took 7.3 seconds. The Range Rover feels more focused on keeping things relaxed, because the engine isn’t as big a part of the driving experience as the V6 in the Porsche. While the straight six is smooth, it’s not quite as refined as those used by BMW, and the gearbox is slower to shift than the Cayenne’s. It’s not as good at selecting the right gear for the conditions, and on occasion it stays in a high gear too long before changing down, or it holds on to a lower gear for longer than needed

when accelerating. The mild-hybrid technology is barely noticeable, the most obvious sign being the stop-start function firing up quickly. Standard air suspension means you can adjust how stiff the Range Rover Sport is on the fly, using the various driving modes. In the softest setting it’s comfortable, but it loses its composure when dipping into potholes, although this is typical of a two-and-a-half tonne car on 20-inch wheels. As you go faster, the ride settles, and motorways are dealt with very well, with the Range Rover staying smooth even over expansion joints. In its stiffer setting, there’s still body roll when cornering quickly, but it’s not as forgiving or as settled. The car feels more at home being driven sedately.

WITH its vast 780-litre boot, the Range Rover Sport is the practical choice here. This space opens out to 1,686 litres with all the seats folded, which is 146 litres more than the Cayenne Coupé offers in this configuration. A flush loading lip makes loading and unloading easier, too. Another key factor is that the Sport is available with seven seats, which will suit those needing to carry extra passengers. Rear-seat space is good, although there could be more room for adults. We’d like a bit more legroom, but headroom is fine. Both cars here have a braked towing capacity of 3,500kg, which is good news for those looking to hitch a trailer or caravan. Their powerful engines should make pulling heavy loads easy enough.

It’s a little cluttered, but once you get used to the layout it’s useful. The bottom screen incorporates two physical rotary dials that can be used to change the air-con and heated-seat settings. This helps to alleviate the lack of physical buttons, but the screens themselves can be a little unresponsive at times. A Meridian stereo is standard on the HSE model, but upgraded versions are available – you can spend up to £5,285 on the best surround-sound set-up.

1st
THE Cayenne Coupé is the better choice if you’re after a sporty SUV. It’s more engaging to drive than the Range Rover Sport, while also being more comfortable. It’s less expensive too, allowing you to add more key options at the same budget. This base model makes the most sense in the range, but we’d still recommend the more practical standard Cayenne over this Coupé.
★★★★★
R ROVER
BOOT
THE Range Rover Sport is the practical choice. If you have a family or even just a dog, this is the model to have.
BOTH of these cars focus on style as a selling point. The Cayenne Coupé’s sloping roofline at the rear distinguishes it from the standard SUV, and adds a sportier look. There’s also a roof spoiler, and our car was painted bright orange to make it stand out. The Range Rover Sport uses large alloy wheels and eye-catching exterior trim to appeal to buyers.
DRIVER POWER
LAND Rover disappointed its owners in 2019, so the ownership experience doesn’t seem too promising.
HEFTY CO2
HIGH emissions and poor fuel economy mean neither of these models is cheap to run in the slightest.
2nd
THE Range Rover Sport isn’t as agile as its rival, nor as comfortable, but it does have one significant advantage. There’s much more room inside, particularly in terms of boot space, and there’s the option of seven seats as well. This means it’s a better choice for more people as an overall model – yet this thirsty P400 model isn’t our pick, despite its smooth engine and long list of standard kit.
BRAKES THESE large SUVs need beefy brakes to help them stop effectively, but the Range Rover Sport’s brakes leave a bit to be desired. The pedal is soft and requires a lot of leg movement to depress fully. Use them hard, and the brakes fade quickly since they struggle to contain the car’s weight. The Porsche’s brakes aren’t perfect because pedal feel could be better, but the brakes are more powerful than in its rival and don’t fade as easily.

THE Stelvio Quadrifoglio is smaller than our rivals here, yet it has a big boot and as much passenger space as the Cayenne Coupé. It’s also brilliant to drive. Used models cost from £55,000, but you can find nearly-new cars for less than £70,000.

Skoda Scala
SECOND REPORT Our Czech hatch – mostly – hits the right notes Otis Clay
Otis_Clay@dennis.co.uk
PLENTY of things come to mind when I read the word ‘Scala’ on the back of the Auto Express Skoda. The Chemical Brothers, Coldplay, The Killers, Deftones, Gorillaz, and Iggy and the Stooges all pop into my head, because of the legendary cinema-turnedmusic-venue in London’s King’s Cross. With so much pedigree and history behind it, the Scala venue rarely disappoints, and I am finding that its namesake manages to hit pretty much all the right notes as well. It’s close to delivering a truly memorable performance – although it might just be a bit too dull to stay in my regular playlist. As with any decent band or artist, looks, presence and style are always key parts of the package when selling yourself to the masses, and I feel Skoda has done a great job here. Even with the brand’s humble roots, the design DNA from the rest of the current range comes across nicely, thanks to the sharp creases and shapes on the body. The large rear window is one of my favourite details; I think that it helps to create a nice stance, especially when on the move. The interior design is a continuation of the outside, because it makes very good use

of materials despite being built to a budget. The overall feel is minimal yet functional; it’s simple, but clever, as Skoda might say. That’s the first part of the audition passed, then, but what about the drive? Like nearly every car on the MQB platform that I’ve tried, the Scala is well sorted in this respect. It rides nicely and is engaging enough for me on a twisty road, but sadly, the Skoda hits a bit of a bum note with its DSG gearbox. It’s not responsive enough and doesn’t change down quickly when you need a burst of speed. Yet when it does, you often have more throttle applied than you need, adding a jerkiness to the Scala’s driving experience. This is exacerbated by the stop-start system, which is also slow to react. This makes pulling away from junctions and roundabouts a bit laboured – which is frustrating at times, especially on a long commute. You can use the manual mode to alleviate the problem a bit, but if I’m changing gear myself, I’d rather have a manual gearbox (which is cheaper, too). One thing I have been loving so far is the infotainment. It has a nice simple interface; everything is easy to find and navigate
through, Apple CarPlay loads up quickly and the screen itself is responsive and sharp. It occasionally lags on inputs, but Skoda is issuing a software update soon; we’ll see if this improves with the new version. The speakers in the Scala are decent, but nothing more – they definitely don’t remind me of the music venue’s set-up, but they’re not bad for a small, affordable car like this. Passenger space is a strong point in the Skoda. I’ve found that there’s enough room for four adults to travel comfortably on a long journey; at least, my friends didn’t complain about anything. The panoramic sunroof really helps too, because it creates a more airy feel for anyone on the rear bench. This is an unusual feature in a car like this, so it seems quite classy. There’s enough space in the cabin for essential travel items, and the boot is one of the top selling points for me. At 467 litres, it beats the Volkswagen Golf’s 380 litres and
the Ford Focus’ 375 litres. Those rivals are more expensive like for like, too. This big luggage area has been great for carrying work gear – my cameras, lights and tripods – but also over the Christmas holiday it was ideal for transporting various bits between family and friends. I’ve mainly been using the Scala to travel to and from photoshoots for Auto Express, so I often find myself alone in the car. However, it’s always great to know that if I need to carry extra passengers, there won’t be an issue with space. Yet despite all of the Scala’s positives, I’m not bonding with it quite as much as you might think. There’s no doubt that this is a very competent car in every key area, but it’s just a little bit too anonymous – maybe even dull – to truly win me over. So does it give a memorable performance? Well, it’s not quite there, especially in DSG form. A brighter paint colour would help, too.

OUR CARS Living with a Volkswagen T-Cross
Volkswagen T-Cross FIRST REPORT Newly arrived SUV impresses as it replaces family hatch Andy Pringle
andy_pringle@dennis.co.uk @andymoshpringle
ALL my life I’ve taken great pride in doing things a little bit differently, so it came as something of a shock to find myself doing what countless others have done before me: downsizing. I’m moving from a five-door family hatchback into a smaller, supermini-based SUV. On its way out is the SEAT Leon that has served my family for two years, and in comes our new Volkswagen T-Cross. It’s not hard to see why we chose VW’s smallest SUV. It was commended in the 2019 Auto Express Awards, looks very smart, and comes with enough safety kit – and a five-star rating from Euro NCAP – to bring a smile to any parent’s face. Our car is in what is expected to be the most popular spec in the UK, combining SE trim with the 113bhp 1.0-litre petrol engine. So, we have air-conditioning, all-round electric windows and adaptive cruise control, as well as a decent infotainment system with Apple CarPlay connectivity. Beyond that standard equipment, our car also has a few options, of which the most obvious are the Energetic Orange metallic paint and Design Pack. This gives us orange

alloys and door mirror housings, as well as unique upholstery on the front sports seats, a special inlay on the dash, and tinted rear windows. Plus we uprated the infotainment package to the Discover Navigation system. This isn’t the first time our family has run an SUV, but we were a little anxious before taking delivery. The T-Cross would be not just the smallest SUV we’ve ever had, it would be the smallest car we’ve had since our daughter was born six years ago. And it would have a baptism of fire – or the Christmas holiday, as it’s more commonly known. That meant lots of running around before the big day – including a last-minute dash to the supermarket, of course – and a short stay at my parents’ house in Sussex. Happily, first impressions were all good. The T-Cross’s small size and high driving position made it perfect for getting around South West London. It’s a nice and simple car to manoeuvre and it slips easily through the traffic, while the Energetic Orange paint stood out in the supermarket car park. The T-Cross made easy work of the schlep down to Sussex, too, riding comfortably on the near-two-hour trip to the coast. Even more importantly, it was nice and refined – quieter than we’d expected of such a small

car, in fact – so our daughter slept the whole way on our late-evening return journey. Admittedly, the T-Cross isn’t the most exciting car to drive. But, in the dreadful weather that accompanied our trip, I was more than happy to trade some engagement for a feeling of safety and security. And what did the people inside think? Well, my wife and I were very comfortable in the front – the driving position is

Fleetwatch Shoe in
Dropping the rear seats meant Dawn could get into the boot and stay dry
MINI Clubman PICTURE editor Dawn Grant discovered a useful feature of her MINI Clubman this week. It happened after a weekend away in the New Forest, when Dawn had loaded up the MINI with walking gear. The drive down was great, she says – the Clubman’s automatic gearbox meant a bit of traffic was no issue and the comfortable ride kept her and her husband Dave calm and relaxed. Unfortunately, a torrential downpour meant that, when the couple stopped in Winchester on the way back to London, they had second thoughts about going for one last stroll. Dave realised he needed to change his shoes to drive home, but was stumped because it was raining, the boot was packed, and the parking spot didn’t let him get in via the ‘barn doors’, which need to be fully opened to get access. Dawn realised that she could fold down the split rear seats and get into the boot that way, keeping both her and Dave dry, and meaning they didn’t have to find another parking spot. It wasn’t ideal, but it showed that the MINI is more versatile than Dawn had initially thought.

particularly good – while I really appreciated the easy-to-access Isofix mounts in the rear. However, one issue we may have as our daughter grows is legroom in the back. We’ve already pushed the VW’s sliding rear seat as far back as it will go, but there are tell-tale muddy footprints all over the back of the front passenger seat. Similarly, the boot has been big enough for our needs – so far. We didn’t have much luggage for just one night away, and that left more than enough room for all the presents; plus, we’ve found the one angle at which our daughter’s bike will fit in without having to fold down a rear seat. But when we go away for a bit longer, or if we need to upgrade to a bigger bike, the T-Cross could struggle. For now, though, we’re very happy to be downsizing. And, I may have to admit that following the herd is the right thing to do.

Suzuki Swift Sport OUR Suzuki Jimny is out of action for a bit, so we’ve borrowed a Swift Sport to keep us mobile in the interim. We ran one a year ago and grew to love its charms, so it’s good to have another go. Our man Greg Dowswell, who produces videos for the Auto Express YouTube channel, took it this week to attend a drone training session. This computer-controlled flying camera helps him make our videos even more exciting to watch. The Swift Sport was a good match, because Greg found it was exciting to drive, too. The turbocharged 1.4-litre petrol engine felt very potent, and the Swift’s relatively light weight and agile handling made the most of that performance, according to Greg. The car’s boot isn’t ideal for carrying cameras and drones, but our man made it work, and he didn’t have to fold the seats down to get the equipment packed away.

“Exige Sport 410 will be used on Gold and Platinum licence courses”
LOTUS IS ON TRACK FOR MORE COURSES IN 2020 NEW PRODUCT Lotus Driving Academy 2020 programme
Prices: From £149 Contact: www.lotusdrivingacademy.com
THE Lotus Driving Academy, which is based at the marque’s home in Hethel, Norfolk, has revealed its expanded range of courses and experiences for 2020, as well as the addition of the new Exige Sport 410 to its track fleet. This can do the 0-60mph sprint in 3.3 seconds and go on to more than
170mph. It will be used on the Exige Experience Days and the Gold and Platinum Licence courses. The academy has also added three Carbon Edition courses to its popular driver-training ladder. This takes drivers through bronze, silver, gold and platinum levels, across four successive days at the Hethel test track. We tried the gold course (Issue 1,561), and on top of this the platinum adds understanding datalogging and how to use it to improve your driving. The four-day course, which is supported by experienced
instructors including ex-Formula One racer Martin Donnelly, costs £2,799, including time in the Exige Sport 410. The licence begins with the bronze level, priced at £399. Experience days start with the half-day Scare Yourself Sensible (£149), while the Exige Experience Days are priced from £399. All Academy participants get a tour of the Lotus factory, and there is an expanded programme of visits to the nearby Classic Team Lotus base, where cars from the marque’s Formula One heyday are restored and prepared for racing.
Q
I’VE had problems clearing condensation from the windscreen in the recent cold weather. A colleague said I should use the air-conditioning but that makes no sense to me. Is he right? John Kennedy, E-mail
A
CONDENSATION is caused by damp air in the car, which you heat with your body and breath, increasing how much moisture it can hold; when it touches the cold screen, it cools and mists. The heater will clear mist and raise the temperature of the glass, but the air-con will help dry the air.
Q
Why is clutch wearing?
A
IT could be the way your daughter drives or the kind of trips she makes. Frequent journeys in stop-start city traffic will accelerate wear, but we’d expect a clutch to last longer than a year. Also look for your daughter ‘riding’ the clutch – not taking her foot off the pedal after changing gear – and holding the car on it when making hill starts. Jerky gearchanges can also increase wear.

I’M on my third year with the same set of winter tyres. I wonder whether I should put them back in the tyre hotel when it’s time to change, or bin them and buy new ones next autumn. When’s the best time to change winter tyres? Fred Leggett, E-mail OUR advice for summer tyres applies to winters as well: swap at 3mm because the drop-off in performance to the legal minimum in the wet is too great. This is for the kind of conditions found in most UK winters; if you drive on snow or plan a ski trip, grip drops away quickly below 4mm.

IF you don’t use your smartphone for satellite navigation but still want to charge the handset up while driving, Halfords has added two quick solutions to its range. The most convenient is the £29 Connects2 Universal In-Car Charging Pad, which uses QI connectivity to top up compatible smartphones. The unit is powered via the car’s USB socket or a suitable 12V adaptor, plus it can also be used in the home or office. It measures 86x55mm and is 3mm thick. Just place your phone on the 10W pad and it will begin to charge. For something more secure there is the £79 Universal In-Car Charging Pocket, which is designed to be fitted upright in the glovebox, armrest or on any flat surface. Simply slide your handset into the unit and the 10W three-coil charger begins to work. There’s a spring-loaded mechanism that holds the phone securely while you are on the move, plus there are two LED lights to show the phone’s charge status. The unit measure 128x115x43mm and can accommodate smartphones up to 84mm wide and 11mm thick. It also has two 1.5A USB charging outlets, so other devices can be charged at the same time as your handset. The Charging Pocket comes complete with a mounting bracket and is powered off a 12V cigar lighter socket.
Take a Jaguar seat and trick your brain Solutions Halfords’ new charging pad (above) or charging pocket (below) will keep your smartphone topped up when on the move
JAGUAR has developed a new ‘morphable’ car seat that aims to reduce the health risks caused by sitting for long periods. Motors in the seat foam adjust the seat to trick the brain into thinking that it’s walking rather than sitting down by oscillating the pelvis. By stimulating the leg, gluteal and hip muscles the seat can help mitigate the risks of sitting for too long. Jag has also reminded passengers of the importance of a correctly adjusted seat.

SEVERAL of the UK’s Ferrari dealers are holding open days to show off the opportunities for apprenticeship positions within the company. Each dealer will invite students from schools in their area to learn about the brand and potential job opportunities, and then possibly apply for one of three apprenticeship positions. The open days take place between 1-8 February, and applications for the September 2020 apprenticeship intake are open now. Find out more at www.ferrariapprenticeship.co.uk. Know an event coming soon?

NEW PRODUCT Mountain Warehouse Travel Mug with Car Adaptor
Autopia
Price: £7.99 Rating: ★★★★★ Contact: www.mountainwarehouse.com
Jon Bentley (Atlantic Books, www.atlantic-books.co.uk) Price: £14.99 Rating: ★★★★★
THERE’S no denying this cup is excellent value. The list price is £15.99, but Mountain Warehouse’s pricing policy means it’s often half price or less, either in-store or online. Even without the heating element, that would make it a cheap travel mug. It performed well in the heat test, recording a temperature of 94 degrees Celsius after an hour. The stepped sides mean it should fit most cup-holders and, at 160mm tall, it’s 30mm shorter than the Taylor & Brown mug. That could be crucial if it needs to sit under a dashboard or clear switches and controls. But it’s not as easy to clean as its rival because the stainless surface shows marks, while the leaky lid dribbled when we sipped.
THE future of the car is an interesting subject, and here it’s written about by Gadget Show presenter Jon Bentley. It’s an interesting read without being too self-aggrandising, and thorough enough to delight even those who consider themselves to be on the ball with industry developments.
Exceptional Cars: Ferrari 250 GT SWB
Competition is heating up for in-car mugs Tom Barnard
BUYING hot drinks on the go can be an expensive business, with a cuppa costing anything from £2 upwards. Make one at home to take with you, and the savings will soon stack up. But even insulated mugs won’t keep a drink piping hot for long. The answer could be a heated mug, which keeps drinks warm by using the 12-volt socket in your car. Prices for these cups are
OUR CHOICE Taylor & Brown Heated Travel Mug
Price: £8.99 Rating: ★★★★★ Contact: www.amazon.co.uk
IT’S a pound more than the Mountain Warehouse newcomer, but Amazon’s bestseller has a few features that make it worth the extra. First, it can be powered by a 12-volt socket or USB port, so you could even use it at your desk when you get to the office. A rubber cap fits over the power inlet when you remove the lead, so it’s safer to clean. We’d not recommend dishwashing, but it’s easier to wash under a tap without soaking the electrical connection. Finally, it has a much better-quality lid, which was far less prone to leaks while drinking. It performed well in our heat test too. The cup was filled with freshly boiled water and plugged in using the 12-volt adaptor. After an hour it was still at an impressive 94.6 C.

pretty hot, too; while you can spend more than £100 on one, Mountain Warehouse has launched a £7.99 mug. Can it be any good at that price? We tried it against Amazon’s best-seller from Taylor & Brown. We looked at what you get and how well they performed, plus factored in price. The well thought-out Taylor & Brown is our pick because, while the newcomer worked well, a few niggles cost it the win here.

Richard Heseltine (Porter Press, www.porterpress.co.uk) Price: £30 Rating: ★★★★★
FEW cars are as evocative as the Ferrari 250 series, and this book charts the rise of the GT SWB racer as well as the story of one particular example. We love the photography throughout, a mixture of period shots and a wonderful studio shoot. It’s a good read, too.
Hot Wheels Race Off Available for: iOS, Android Price: Free Rating: ★★★★★
THIS particular genre of side-scrolling racer is pretty common these days, and this game isn’t much better or worse than others. But it crashed a few times while we were playing, so it’s somewhat less stable. The use of actual Hot Wheels parts – such as the loop-the-loop and the launchers – is charming and bound to arouse some nostalgia for those who had the tracks as kids.
App of the week BPMe
Available for: iOS, Android Price: Free Rating: ★★★★★
ONCE you’re past BP’s several (somewhat reassuring) levels of security, you can use this app to locate stations and even pay for fuel. It works well, but we’re not sure it’s any quicker than using the existing pay-at-pump facilities.

NO matter how well lit your workshop is, or how bright the day, at some point you will need more light when you’re working on cars. Fortunately getting light where you want it has never been easier, because advances in LED and battery technology have seen the output of inspection lamps increase, and run times lengthen. Cordless is the way to go, with the best lasting well over two hours, and no leads trailing across the floor or drive to trip over. Makers have also exploited the new tech to come up with innovative designs that make it easier than ever to put light where it’s needed. So which of the latest designs is the shining star? We charged eight to find out.

RECOMMENDED THERE’S no doubt this is
our last multi-test two years ago and now Sealey has boosted the power and output of the SlimFlex design, with the 12 SMD (surface mount device) LEDs punching out 500 lumens – up from 400. Yet it wasn’t quite enough to hang on to the crown. Its beam had the edge on the Ring’s, and the light had the same easily directed twistand-fold blade. But it shut down after two and half hours in the run-time test, and had neither a battery-state indicator nor, crucially, a mains adaptor for the USB charging lead.

aimed more at the pro than the DIY market, but it’s still within the reach of amateurs. It dwarfs our top two with a more conventional design that has a hinged bottom section combined with powerful magnets in the back and base, as on the Sealey and Ring (left). The Philips’ LEDs deliver 500 lumens, but in a relatively narrow spread. Although the light’s output can be adjusted by holding the power button, even at maximum it lasted more than three hours. A great, but not cheap, package.

How we tested them
PRODUCTS Verdict
AS designs have improved and converged, we have refined our test to find a worthy winner. We measured light output and beam spread, as well as assessing torches and the run time at maximum power. We also looked for power-saving modes, plus battery-charge and state indicators before heading under a wheelarch and bonnet for practical tests to see how easy it is to get light where it’s needed. The final factor was the price, which we obtained from online sources.
RING’S MAGflex Slim narrowly beats the Sealey SlimFlex at its own game with a small yet versatile blade light. Philips’ more conventional design ticks a lot of boxes to complete the top three. 1. Ring MAGflex RIL3900HP 2. Sealey LED1801 3. Philips RCH25

RECOMMENDED PICK this for
DRAPER’S folding-blade light is almost twice the length of the Ring when closed, and nearly three times as heavy. It also has a rotary dimmer for the 7W LEDs, which is useful because their 700 lumens will flatten the battery in two hours on full power. Less good is the inability to fold completely with the LEDs on the outside, and the lack of magnets in the back.
THERE’S lots to like about this. It’s similar to the Draper and Philips, but adds a hinged base that also rotates. It’s smaller, too, at 18cm tall with a 260-lumen output. The light is okay in small spaces but relatively narrow. It has a basic charge indicator but the options include a dock, UK and European mains USB adaptors and one for in-car charging. It’s decent, but others have an edge.
maximum light. The COB LEDs punch out 1,000 lumens – the most powerful we tested, and delivered across a decent width. The battery ducked out after 90 minutes but would last a lot longer on the 500-lumen setting. There are charge and battery-state LEDs and a hinged base, but it lacks the Philips’ handy charging dock. Power at a decent price.

THE Tri-Spector has a tough job here, up against pure worklights while delivering a fair bit more. As a worklight it compares well with a 600-lumens and has a useful two hours-plus run time. Where it differs is the battery also powers a decent flexible light and effective spot-to-flood torch. If you can use these, then this is well worth investigating.

THERE’S something very oldschool about this light. It has a bank of 55 LEDs, with 33 giving a white work light and the rest a red emergency or flashing light. Output was nowhere near the latest designs’, nor was the run time. There’s also just one magnet on the back, and while there is a charging dock plus an adaptor for in-car charging, these are not enough to rescue this light.

I’M interested in buying a car at auction, but am unfamiliar with the format and don’t know what my rights are if something goes wrong. Am I well protected by law? David Turner, E-mail
A
YOU have far fewer rights when buying at auction than when buying from a dealership. The Sales of Goods Act, rather than the more comprehensive Consumer Rights Act, applies, and if a car is auctioned ‘as seen’ you may have little recourse if it develops a fault. There are bargains, but go in with your eyes open.

A
MY car is still under manufacturer warranty, and during its MoT the tester noted it had a leaking shock absorber. My dealer says it will look at this, but may not replace the shock because the car passed its test. Is this fair? Christine Wood, E-mail ASK the dealer to put in writing why the leaky shock doesn’t need replacing, if it is judged so. A light misting of oil may be deemed acceptable, but asking for this to be said officially may provoke action in a marginal case. Bear in mind shock absorbers should be replaced in pairs.

Q
I’M moving into a flat in London that’s on a red route. Is there any way I can stop on the street to unload my belongings, or do the double red lines prevent me from doing so?
A
SOME red routes have loading bays marked out where you can stop for a limited period of time. If there are no loading bays near your flat, you can apply for a red route dispensation. You’ll need to give 10 working days’ notice and pay a fee of £48.

BUYER’SGUIDE: Audi A8 Mk3
FROM £10,000 Third-generation limo offers all-weather luxury, if you can afford to run one Richard Dredge
CONSIDERING Audi is one of the world’s more successful premium brands, it seems incredible that it wasn’t until 1988 that it launched its first luxury car, the V8. By that time Audi’s rivals had been selling luxury saloons for many years, whereas Audi had offered only executive cars. The Audi V8 didn’t make much of an impact and the car arguably deserved a better fate, so when Audi created its successor, the A8, it came up with something altogether more special – an aluminium-bodied saloon packed with tech and standard four-wheel drive. That was in 1994, and since then Audi has raised the bar ever-further with each new generation of A8. Here we look at the third take on the formula.
NEED TO KNOW A8 hybrid is a rare beast. It’s not a plug-in so can officially manage just 1.86 miles in EV mode, with a 2.0-litre petrol engine providing most drive
History
THE A8 Mk3 arrived in UK showrooms in spring 2010, priced from £54,760. Buyers were able to choose between 4.2 FSI petrol or 3.0 TDI and 4.2 TDI diesel engines, all with an eight-speed automatic transmission; a 3.0 TFSI petrol engine was added soon after. By February 2011 the long-wheelbase A8 L was available, stretched by 130mm but with the same engines, as well as a 6.3-litre W12 petrol option. An A8 hybrid arrived in autumn 2012, then soon after the 513bhp S8 appeared with a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8. A refresh in January 2014 brought extra standard kit, including LED headlights, as well as Euro 6 emission compliance and extra driver-assistance systems. A further facelift in June 2014 added a Sport trim level and more efficient 3.0 TDI diesel.
Which one?
MOST A8s were sold with the 3.0 TDI engine which is just as well, since it’s the powerplant that offers the best blend of performance and economy. It’s all you need thanks to the relatively light aluminium body, which brings ultimate luxury in long-wheelbase form. At 5,265mm, the A8 L is a lengthy car; but even the standard A8 isn’t tight in the back. Equipment is predictably generous, with the entry-level SE getting 18-inch alloys, adaptive air suspension, leather, electrically adjustable front seats, a highspec multimedia system with navigation, plus xenon lights. SE Executive adds a rear parking camera, 19-inch wheels and a powered boot lid, while L versions have heated rear seats, four-zone climate control and an electric tilt-and-slide sunroof.
Alternatives
THE hi-tech Mercedes S-Class is a formidable rival with peerless build quality, brilliant engines and a superb cabin. It’s the most popular car in its segment, so there are also plenty to choose from on the used market; no wonder it’s the chauffeur’s car of choice. The BMW 7 Series is rarer, but shares the most important S-Class traits, while Jaguar’s XJ (2010-2019) has excellent petrol and

Generations The original
A8 was codenamed D2 by Audi, while its successor was called the D3. Following the trend, this model is known as the D4.

diesel engines and a choice of standard or long wheelbases. The radical looks don’t suit everyone but as the only other aluminium-bodied luxury car contender, fuel economy is a bit more palatable. The Lexus LS (2012-2017) came in 4.6 V8 (LS 460) or 5.0-litre hybrid (LS 600h) forms. Both are incredibly refined, reliable and well equipped, but the Lexus is very rare.
Verdict
THE bigger they are the further they fall; that’s certainly the case for the A8, which cost plenty when new but can now be had for less than £10,000. Don’t be fooled into thinking you can run one for peanuts, though; these can be expensive cars to own when it comes to insurance and maintenance. If you can afford the running costs there’s no reason not to buy an A8 other than brand loyalty; each contender in this segment is quite different in terms of design and driving experience. We’d say both of these are strong for the Audi, though, so if you’re in the market for a luxury saloon, put the A8 somewhere near the top of your list.
Interior
THE A8 is Audi’s flagship saloon, and its cabin is awash with premium materials and gadgets. As a result it’s safe, luxurious, spacious and a wonderful place to spend time. The back seats offer more than enough head and legroom; opt for the A8 L and there’s a ridiculous amount of space. The boot is very good, at 510 litres, but the rear seat backs don’t fold, so you can’t carry longer loads very easily.

NEARLY all A8s are diesels, and 90 per cent of those use the 3.0 TDI. Prices start at just under £10,000 for an early A8 with 150k miles. Cap the mileage at 70k and you can get a 62-plate 3.0 TDI SE Executive for £13,000. You’ll pay at least £12,000 for a 4.2 TDI; most V8 TDIs are A8 Ls. We found two hybrids, at £12,995 (88k miles) and £19,995 (12,700 miles), both 62-plates. Petrol A8s are also rare. We found one 3.0 TFSI (12-plate, 55k miles, £14,995), four 4.0 TFSIs (13-15-plate, 28-72k miles, £18,500-£28,000) and three W12 A8 Ls (11-15-plate, 9-53k miles, £21,475-£33,800).

www.autoexpress.co.uk/driverpower
OUR VIEW THE A8 hasn’t appeared in any Driver Power surveys, and just eight owners have left reviews on the Carbuyer website – all bar one gave the Audi at least four stars out of five. While that one owner suffered catastrophic gearbox failure (and a £12,000 bill) on a 55,000-mile car, most owners enjoy the A8’s refinement, luxury, value and economy, with excellent winter-weather ability.
from trade insider Quentin Willson WHILE many original owners will have sat in the back of an A8 rather than the front, it’s a luxurious car no matter where you are. And although potential A8 buyers will look at the more comfortable Mercedes S-Class and the more engaging BMW 7 Series, if you prefer the A8’s cabin and looks, there’s no reason not to go for one – as long as you’re prepared for the running costs implicit with this class of car.
Common faults
WARRANTYWISE has seen repair requests mainly for the clutch, suspension and turbo. These issues typically cost anywhere between £650 and £5,000 to put right.
YOUR VIEW PAUL Hansom from Leicester owns a 2014 A8 3.0 TDI. He told us: “I bought it three years ago with 27,000 miles on the clock, and it’s now done 68,000 miles. I owned a Mk2 A8 and, like that car, this one has been reliable, and relatively cheap to run as it’s serviced independently. It’s well equipped, comfy, refined and the cabin is wonderfully roomy – as is the boot. I love it”.

Recalls THIS A8 has been recalled seven times, first in October 2013 because the sunroof of 140 cars could shatter. Fuel leaks on the 3.0 TFSI led to a recall in April 2015; a third came in February 2017 for airbags and seatbelt tensioners. Head restraints led to the fourth in April 2018, while 2019 saw a recall for shock absorbers, fuel leaks, and front passenger seat mountings on two cars.

THE Mk3 Renault Twingo is an unconventional city car that features a rear-engine, rearwheel-drive layout and a tall profile. Like the Suzuki Ignis, the Twingo has a colourful cabin, but there’s less standard equipment fitted. Also, the pop-out back windows feel low-rent in comparison, and won’t find favour with rear-seat occupants. Lifeless steering and a slightly vague fivespeed gearbox mean it’s not as good to drive as the Ignis, but the forgiving suspension makes it more comfortable over rough roads.

Twingo’s rear-engined, RWD layout is uncommon in the city car class
Ignis is available with a 4x4 system to match its trendy SUV-like styling
Verdict
1 2
Suzuki Ignis ★★★★★
IT’S pricier, but good looks and stronger performance make the Ignis worth the expense.
Renault Twingo ★★★★★
THE Twingo is pretty good in town, but it’s outclassed by the Ignis on the open road.
THE Ignis is a funky SUV-inspired city car with an attractive interior, good fuel economy and a fair offering of standard kit; all versions come with air-con and electric mirrors, while midspec models add sat-nav and cruise control. Plus the Suzuki is great fun to drive. With its characterful engine, snappy manual gearbox and dainty 855kg kerbweight, the Japanese model can sprint from 0-60mph in just 9.3 seconds. It handles well, too, although its firm suspension can make the Ignis a little uncomfortable around town.

WARRANTY: Next to each manufacturer’s name is the basic warranty period in months and miles for the mechanicals, corrosion and paintwork.

0-60mph
PERFORMANCE: This is the manufacturer’s claimed acceleration time for a car, and is measured from 0-60mph or 0-62mph (0-100kph), in seconds. ECONOMY AND EMISSIONS: The combined economy and emissions figures in miles per gallon and grams per kilometre of CO2. Figures are the best ones achieved in the latest WLTP tests, but are unlikely to be representative of actual efficiency in everyday driving.
ROAD TAX: When a car is first registered, its first year’s road tax is included in the price. This is emissions-based, and adds anything from zero on electric cars to £2,070 for vehicles emitting over 255g/km of CO2. After 12 months, it’s the owner’s responsibility to tax their vehicle, and the rate depends on the fuel used:

All the action from the world of motorsport

AN ALL-star line-up of cars and drivers has been confirmed for this weekend’s Bathurst 12 Hours in Australia, the opening round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge series for GT3-class production-based cars. Last year’s winning squad Earl Bamber Motorsport is back to defend its crown. Its Porsche 911 entry is driven by Bamber himself, with his fellow Porsche works ace Laurens Vanthoor and the triple Australian Supercars champion Craig Lowndes. Audi has also secured a local star for the race, with 2007 Supercars champion Garth Tander joining works drivers Chris Mies and Mirko Bortolotti in the #22 Team Valvoline R8; two more cars are entered under the same banner with full works line-ups. BMW’s Walkenhorst Motorsport M6 will be driven by Chas Mostert, Nicky Catsburg and Augusto Farfus, while Mercedes has three very strong line-ups in its Black Falcon, Gruppe-M and Triple Eight cars, including two more Supercars stars in the shape of Shane van Gisbergen and Jamie Whincup. Bentley’s assault includes an all-British line-up of Alex Buncombe, Oliver Jarvis and Seb Morris in the #8, while McLaren and Aston Martin are on the grid, too – the former with a 59Racing 720S driven by Tom Blomqvist, Ben Barnicoat and Alvaro Parente. The R-Motorsport Vantages both have young British talent on board, with Oliver Caldwell in the #62 and Jake Dennis

Nissan is represented by the Hong Kongbased KCMG team, while Ferrari’s Hub Auto Corsa entry sees Brazilians Daniel Serra and Marcos Gomes joining Tim Slade in the #27. Elsewhere, there are works entries from Honda (an NSX for Dane Cameron, Renger van der Zande and Mario Farnbacher) and Lamborghini (with Andrea Caldarelli, Marco Mapelli and Dennis Lind at the wheel). The action kicks off at 5:45am Australian time on Sunday, which is 6:45pm Saturday UK time. The race can be streamed live in full on the bathurst12hour.com.au website.
Chinese race events under threat
F1 holds auction for Australia fires
UPCOMING international motorsport events in China could be under threat, as authorities continue to monitor the outbreak of coronavirus in Wuhan. Formula E is currently scheduled to race in the southern coastal city of Sanya on 21 March, and the Chinese Grand Prix is set for Shanghai on 19 April. While both venues are a considerable distance from Wuhan, travel restrictions put in place as a result of the outbreak could make getting equipment and personnel in place difficult. A domestic Chinese rally championship event scheduled for February has been cancelled as a result of the outbreak, but while the FIA – along with Formula E and Formula 1 management – is monitoring the situation closely, at the time of going to press both the Formula E and Formula 1 events were set to go ahead as scheduled.
FORMULA 1 is auctioning memorabilia and experience packages to raise money for those affected by the bushfires in Australia. Among the lots are race-worn gloves and boots from Daniel Ricciardo (below), Kevin Magnussen’s Australian GP helmet and race suits from Red Bull and Haas. Meet-and-greets with drivers, a safetycar hot lap and F1 factory tours are also on offer; bidding is at www.f1authentics.com.

WINTER is loosening its grip, our commuting hours are becoming lighter and safer, and the Geneva Motor Show, which signifies the start of Spring, is barely a month away. Therefore life is good. Also, since I’ve decreed that 2020 is the year of the road trip, the time for planning and booking is now – while there are hot deals for hotels, dining, ferry crossings, car purchases/rentals and free fuel (honest). Early bird offers are increasingly popular, so exploit ’em. Example: this week (29 Jan-4 Feb) the organisers of August’s British Motor Show in Farnborough, Hants, are exclusively offering Auto Express readers 10 per cent off admission prices. Book before 31 Jan, and there are also bargains to be had when taking road trips to mainland Europe later in 2020. P&O has been selling Dover-Calais-Dover Motoring’s most outspoken car+passenger ‘Saver’ tickets at an all-inclusive starting and opinionated columnist sounds off price of £25. Additionally, £30 fuel vouchers can be claimed by some customers booking P&O crossings; just search for ‘P&O early booking deal’ online. The decision to cut That said, over the next few days I’d avoid taking a ties with the European car to the Continent by ferry or through the Chunnel. Why? Because Britain’s supposed to ‘leave’ (what ever Union means travel that means, exactly) the European Union on the final will be different, day of January. Brits motoring into Europe up until but this shouldn’t the 31st will do so as EU citizens, but from 1 Feb they’ll apparently drive in with non-EU status. stop you going Scaremonger? Moi? Never. But seriously, I’d rather be over than under-cautious when it comes to moving valuable vehicles and precious family members across international frontiers at a time when some border posts may be subject to transition, upheaval, political pressures, teething troubles and delays. If you can’t wait for the dust to settle, at least check with all interested parties that you, your occupants and your car are fully insured. If you’re the user rather than the owner of a vehicle, and really cautious, get written permission that you have the legal right to take it to the EU. Apart from the obvious practice of carrying your passport and UK driving licence in your pocket (not the glovebox), it can do no harm to also carry registration, MoT and other vehicle documents on you, plus an International Driving Permit (IDP). No photocopies, please, originals only. Also, do buy that GB sticker you haven’t bothered with for years, and follow the drink-drive, speeding, parking and kit laws (spare bulbs, hi-vis vests, etc), while remembering that the Continent’s cops can’t be as sympathetic as ours. And keep reminding yourself that after 31 Jan, Britain will remain a European country; holders of British passports will remain Brits and Europeans. True, the decision to cut ties with the EU means travel will be different, but this shouldn’t stop you going – with or without your car. In the future, as in the past, this true Brit-cum-European will certainly be visiting and enjoying the far less congested roads and other joys of the Continent.
