The recent ‘Banning the sale announcement of the cleanest that sales of new hybrids from 2035 petrol and diesel cars will be is the wrong call’ banned in the UK from 2035 understandably attracted a lot of headlines. However, a related but still hugely significant policy change received less attention: the removal of the exemption for the cleanest hybrids. The original statement was ambiguous about their fate, and when What Car? rang to get clarification, the government representative we spoke to couldn’t provide any answers. It was only several hours later that they confirmed hybrids would no longer be part of the solution. I can’t help thinking that this suggests minimal thought was put into the decision. And having recently driven two of the latest plug-in hybrids (see p62), I’m convinced that it’s the wrong call, because they still allow many journeys to be carried out with zero emissions and fit into the lives of people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to go electric.

FIRST LOOK
Audi A3 Sportback
Our long-time favourite premium family hatchback get sharper looks and a ‘digitised’ interior for its fourth iteration On sale May Price from £23,000 (est) Will Nightingale Will.Nightingale@haymarket.com TALK ABOUT TOUGH acts to follow. The outgoing Audi A3 was the motoring equivalent of Floyd Mayweather, winning our overall Car of the Year award back in 2013 and remaining the undisputed king of premium hatchbacks throughout its entire seven years on sale. In fact, if you twisted our arm and asked us to name the greatest car from the past decade, we’d have to give it to the A3. That might seem like a slightly pragmatic choice in a period that saw the launch of real game-changers such as the fully electric Tesla Model 3 and the ultra-trendy Volvo XC40. But when you consider fitness for purpose and all-round brilliance, the A3 was as close to perfect as cars get, making even the mighty Volkswagen Golf of the era seem ordinary.

With that in mind, it’s hardly a surprise to discover that Audi hasn’t thrown the proverbial baby out with the bathwater in designing its replacement. This new model, which is available to order now, with first deliveries expected in May, is actually based on the same underpinnings as the outgoing model. Codenamed ‘MQB’ in the world of the VW Group, it’s the same basic structure that also underpins the new, Mk8 Golf and fourthgeneration Seat Leon. Likewise, the styling is evolutionary, with the silhouette of the new A3 not being drastically different from that of the car it replaces. However, there are some clear differences, including the ‘concave flanks’ that haven’t been seen on an Audi before. In plain English, that means each side of the car bows inwards dramatically between the shoulder line and sill, emphasising the bulge of the wheel
arches. Apparently, the inspiration came from an unlikely source: the wacky Lamborghini Countach supercar from the 1980s. The shoulder line is also higher than the previous car’s and tapers up towards the rear RIVALS

2 Interior quality is perfectly reasonable, if a step down from that of the outgoing A3
3 Adjusting volume involves circling your finger on a touchpad by the gearlever
4 Like all recent Audis, infotainment is controlled by a touchscreen rather than a rotary dial
Based on the same underpinnings as before, the new A3 Sportback is very similar in dimensions to the car it replaces for a sportier posture. There’s also a new front grille with a honeycomb effect rather than horizontal slats. The daytime running lights are housed behind the main headlight lenses, but in dropdown portions where 15 individual LEDs create one of three distinct patterns that vary depending on which trim level you choose. One of the best things about the old A3 was its interior. It was so good that it genuinely wouldn’t have looked out of place in a car costing twice as much money and left you wondering how on earth Audi could offer such quality in one of its cheapest models. Perhaps Audi’s bean counters have been pondering the same question, because there’s no doubt that the new A3’s interior doesn’t feel as classy as its predecessor’s. You’ll find hard plastics where previously there were denser, softer materials, and some of the switches and buttons feel more in line with the car’s price.
If we’re sounding a little disappointed, that’s only because of the impeccably high standards Audi has set itself in the past, and it’s certainly fair to say that the new A3’s interior still stacks up reasonably well for overall quality against many rivals, including the MercedesBenz A-Class. The BMW 1 Series is now the class benchmark, though, even though it’s the most conservative looking of the trio. Audi says the new A3 has been ‘digitised’, which in essence means that some of the physical buttons and knobs have been removed from the interior and housed in a 10.1in touchscreen that sits in the middle of the dashboard, angled slightly towards the driver. Note ‘touchscreen’, because the previous A3 didn’t have one of those; instead, you controlled the infotainment system by twisting and pressing a rotary dial and a selection of buttons between the front seats.
Now, touchscreens might work well on a phone or tablet, and they’re a good solution in cars when you’re parked up. But on the move, they demand more of your attention than is ideal, so we actually reckon Audi’s older solution (which is similar to that in the 1 Series) was less distracting. There’s certainly more computing power in the new system, though (around 10 times as much), and as touchscreens go, the menu structure is well thought out. There’s also a natural speech voice control system which, during our brief test, seemed to work pretty well. For the first time on an A3, you can also download an app to your phone and communicate with your car remotely. Do this and you’ll be able to transfer navigation routes to the infotainment system to save time, lock or unlock the doors from the other side of the world, locate your car if you’ve forgotten whatcar.com

where you parked it, or even preheat (or cool) the interior so it’s ‘just so’ when you jump in. If you’re wondering about interior space, there’s very little difference compared with the outgoing model; Audi says there’s fractionally more shoulder room, but you’d have to get your tape measure out to realise. That means the A3 can carry four tall adults (or five at a push) reasonably comfortably – certainly more so than a 1 Series. The boot remains an almost identical size, too, so expect to be able to carry the equivalent of five carry-on suitcases below the parcel shelf – the same as you would in a Golf. Given the similarities between the new A3 and its predecessor under the skin, it

probably won’t surprise you to hear that many of the engines have also been carried over. Initially, the only petrol option will be a 148bhp turbocharged 1.5-litre unit, while 2.0-litre diesels (with 114bhp or 148bhp outputs) will also be offered. A short while later, an entry-level 1.0-litre petrol model with 109bhp will join the line-up, along with a mild hybrid version of the 1.5. The latter has a hefty 48-volt battery that can power the A3’s steering and braking systems, allowing the petrol engine to be switched off when decelerating for periods of up to 40 seconds. The purpose? To save fuel, of course, and there’s also a small electric motor that can deploy any remaining battery power to help propel the car along at low speeds. Further engines and four-wheel drive (quattro) models will join the range at a later date, as will a plug-in hybrid model and a sporty S3. We’ll be getting behind the wheel of the regular A3 on 30 March, so set yourself a reminder and head to whatcar.com then for our first review. However, we have managed to sneak a quick drive in a heavily disguised prototype of the new S3 hot hatch, and you can read about that in the accompanying story (see right).

THE NEW AUDI S3 will go on sale in early summer and will be powered by the same 306bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged engine as the outgoing version. With that kind of firepower, and four-wheel drive as standard, 0-62mph should take around 4.7sec – and it certainly feels that rapid. On our greasy mountain road test route around the Azores, the S3 also felt incredibly secure and planted through corners. Audi’s Progressive Steering comes as standard; that means the speed of the steering increases the more you turn the wheel – mainly to save you a lot of arm twirling at low speeds and when parking. In some cars, this type of variable-ratio steering can make it tricky to judge exactly how much lock to apply in faster driving. But the
technology has been refined over the years, so this isn’t an issue in the new S3. Its steering is actually really precise, making it easy to position the car exactly where you want it. True, you don’t don’t get the same assault on your senses that you would from rivals such as the Honda Civic Type R and Renault Mégane RS, but then the S3 is a more rounded car in other respects. In fact, Audi has tried to make the new S3 even easier to live with than its predecessor, and one of the ways it’s done this is by fitting a new type of adaptive suspension. The big advantage is that you can now choose from a wider range of settings and, if you pick the most comfortable of these, the S3 rides really quite smoothly by class standards.
THE HYUNDAI i20 small hatchback has been reinvented. Much like the transformations that have changed the fortunes of Peugeot and Volvo in recent years, Hyundai has treated the i20 to much more than a simple nip and tuck for its third generation. Instead, the i20 has been to the gym, seen a plastic surgeon and finally visited a trendy fashion house for a new wardrobe. In short, it has gone funky. First up, the new i20 is a mild hybrid, meaning the sole 99bhp 1.0-litre petrol engine on offer in the UK has a small electric motor that can help the car to coast when the engine isn’t needed, leading to fuel and CO2 emissions savings of up to 4%. Despite having a wider and longer body than the outgoing car, the new i20 is up to 4% lighter. As well as giving the car sportier looks, those stretched dimensions mean there’s now more space in the boot – more than you’ll find in rivals such as the Volkswagen Polo and Ford Fiesta, in fact. Inside, the new i20’s ultra-modern look continues with two digital displays, measuring up to 10.25in each. The first takes the place of traditional analogue instrument dials, while the second is given over to infotainment. The new system offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, while elsewhere there are features you’d normally expect to find in more expensive models, including wireless charging, LED ambient lighting, a Bose sound system and an additional USB port for rear passengers to charge devices.
New i120 is longer and wider than its predecessor The car’s suite of safety equipment has been upgraded, too; it now includes automatic emergency braking that can detect pedestrians and cyclists, plus a blindspot monitoring system. Prices are expected to start at around £16,000, making the i20 more expensive than the equivalent Polo and Fiesta. However, the i20 is expected to come with higher levels of standard kit. whatcar.com

IT’S FAIR TO say that Volvo has been one of the driving forces behind the plug-in hybrid. Not only was its diesel-electric V60 one of the first of its breed to be sold in Europe, but the introduction of this XC40 Recharge T5 also means the Swedish brand is the first to offer a plug-in version of every model in its line-up.

no impetus to carry on driving quickly. You’re much better off slowing down and enjoying the XC40’s mostly comfortable ride. Impressively, the boot is the same size as any other XC40’s, with space under the floor for your cables. That means it’ll swallow far more luggage than the Grandland X Hybrid4, although you can’t get the handy boot divider that we like so much in regular XC40s. Passenger space is also unchanged, so the XC40 is among the best for rear leg room. Interior quality and comfort remain XC40 strong points. You get plenty of kit, too, but that’s mainly because you can’t get a Recharge in anything less than sporty R-Design trim. So, while cheaper conventionally powered XC40s still make more sense for private buyers, the Recharge T5 should be at the top of your shortlist if you’re looking for a low-emissions family SUV, especially for company car drivers.

Pricey to buy, but comfortable, classy and seriously cheap to run for company car users
WHETHER YOU’RE PICKING up a new car or looking to watch an Oscar-winning movie, now is a good time to go Korean. One of the country’s latest exports is the new Kia Sorento, and if the e-Niro electric SUV and Picanto city car before it are any indication, it’ll be a strong contender for leadership in the large SUV market. As well as having strikingly refreshed looks, the Sorento is based on all-new underpinnings, so it should be better to drive than before. The new model is just 3.5cm longer than its predecessor, but interior space promises to be significantly increased, notably in the second row of seats, where knee room grows by up to 9cm. As with the outgoing model, UK cars will come with seven seats as standard and middle-row seats that slide and recline. With the rearmost seats folded away and the middle row pushed all the way forwards, 910 litres of space is available in the boot – vastly more than what you’ll find in rivals. At launch, the Sorento will be available with either a 199bhp 2.2-litre diesel or a 227bhp petrol-electric hybrid option, which mates a 1.6-litre petrol engine to a 59bhp electric motor and a tiny, 1.5kWh battery. A plug-in hybrid option will follow shortly afterwards, with a combined 261bhp on offer from the petrol engine and electric motor. A 16.6kWh battery should give an electric-only range of 35-40 miles. The plug-in hybrid is four-wheel drive only, while other versions offer a choice of front or four-wheel drive, although it isn’t yet clear whether both options will be available in the UK. Inside, the Sorento now features a 10.25in infotainment touchscreen, linked to a digital instrument panel. Among the upgraded
Swish interior features a fully digital instrument panel driver aids on offer in the Sorento are an advanced adaptive cruise control system, a remote parking function using the key fob, parking sensors that can automatically brake the car before it hits something, and blindspot monitors that use cameras to project images of what’s alongside the car onto the dashboard. Kia is also fitting an innovative front central airbag that can cut down on injuries in a side-on collision. Prices are expected to rise by around 10% compared with those of the existing Sorento, suggesting a starting price of £33,000.

Volkwagen Golf GTI
Latest version of Volkswagen’s iconic hot hatch brings more power and tech On sale Autumn Price from £32,000 (est) Steve Huntingford Steve.Huntingford@haymarket.com
JUST AS YOU wouldn’t wear trainers to a business meeting or brogues at the gym, cars tend to feel most at home in a particular role. However, the Volkswagen Golf GTI is a better multitasker than most – probably because it has traditionally combined its agile handling and lively performance with looks that are almost as understated as any other Golf’s. So, is it the same story with this new, Mk8 version? Well, it pushes things a little farther than usual by adding a gaping front bumper vent to the twin exhausts and red front grille piping that we’ve come to expect. But overall its appearance is still more Russell & Bromley than Reebok. In fact, in some areas it looks more subtle than ever, with a wheel design reminiscent of that used on Skoda’s Kamiq SUV. As recently as late 2018, Volkswagen planned to use mild hybrid technology to RIVALS

boost the GTI’s acceleration and efficiency, but ultimately it decided in the interests of more overtly sporty road manners to update the existing turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine instead. This now produces an extra 13bhp in standard form, meaning it matches the 241bhp of the outgoing GTI Performance model. Meanwhile, the successor to that car – which is likely to be called the Clubsport – packs 296bhp. As with the Mk7, you’ll be able to specify a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox (which can be controlled manually via paddles mounted on the steering wheel). Although Volkswagen is still to release performance figures, a 0-62mph time of around 5.5sec seems realistic with a dualclutch gearbox fitted to the standard GTI. The decision to continue to offer a manual gearbox, when so many rivals are abandoning them, was apparently to appeal to enthusiasts. For the same reason, a limited-slip differential is now standard to boost traction out of corners. However, for the first time, there will be no three-door GTI model, mimicking the decision to drop this slow-selling bodystyle elsewhere in the Golf range. Similarly, the interior closely follows the formula of lesser Mk8 Golfs, so you get twin digital screens (one for instrumentation, the other for infotainment) and a voice control system that recognises natural speech instead of requiring you to remember specific commands. There are bespoke sporty touches, too, including red on-screen graphics, a flat-bottomed steering wheel and the traditional tartan-trimmed seats. Other standard equipment includes keyless entry and start, lane-keeping assistance,
automatic emergency braking, climate control and ambient interior lighting that lets you choose from 30 colours. Meanwhile, the list of options includes 19in alloy wheels (in place of the standard 18s) and the Akrapovic sports exhaust system that so dramatically improves the sound made by Volkswagen’s sporty T-Roc R SUV. In addition to the GTI, Volkswagen is readying successors to other hot Mk7 Golfs, with the 197bhp diesel GTD and 241bhp plug-in hybrid GTE both due before the end of this year. A new version of the four-wheeldrive Golf R, which hikes power from today’s 296bhp to 329bhp, will follow in 2021. There are even plans to introduce an R Plus, with around 350bhp. It seems likely that this flagship model would cost around £45,000, undercutting other mega-hatches such as the Mercedes-AMG A45. Meanwhile, the price of the standard Golf GTI is likely to rise to about £32,000 to reflect its extra power and equipment compared with the previous version.

Citroën C3 Stylish small hatchback gets a fresh look, upgraded driver assistance systems and more personalisation options On sale June Price from £16,500 (est) Darren Moss Darren.Moss@haymarket.com IF YOU’RE THE kind of person who values large armchairs, fluffy cushions and leather slippers over archery or rambling, the Citroën C3 has been designed with you in mind. This is a small hatchback that prioritises comfort over agility. Its suspension, for example, is softer than what you’ll find elsewhere in this class, with the aim of allowing it to glide over imperfections in the road. For this facelifted version, Citroën has given the C3 a new face inspired by 2016’s Cxperience concept car, with a different front grille and tweaked lights. Buyers now have more ways to personalise their C3, too, with new paint colours and new 17in alloy wheel designs. Inside, Citroën’s Advanced Comfort seats are designed to make long journeys easier by offering more padding than rivals’ and incorporating adjustable lumbar support. We like these seats in the C5 Aircross large SUV, and they should be a big improvement over the outgoing C3’s, which offer precious little support. A central armrest is also offered for the first time, but it’s a shame that Citroën hasn’t upgraded the touchscreen infotainment system, beyond giving it a glossier appearance, because the existing setup has sluggish software and a confusing menu layout. The C3’s range of driver assistance systems has been upgraded, with front parking sensors now available as an option. They join a driver attention monitor, automatic emergency braking and a lane departure warning system. The engine line-up is unchanged, meaning our recommended 108bhp 1.2-litre petrol-engined model (badged Puretech 110) is likely to remain the best option for most buyers. Other choices include a lesser petrol (Puretech 83) and a 1.5-litre diesel (BlueHDi 100). Prices are expected to increase slightly compared with those of today’s C3, with the range starting from around £16,500.

The suspension has been tweaked with the aim of making the handling sharper and more responsive. The brakes have also been upgraded, improving stopping performance while reducing weight. Inside, Honda has addressed one of our main criticisms of the existing Type R by fitting physical shortcut buttons and dials to control its infotainment system; this should make it easier to use on the move than the purely touch-sensitive setup of the existing car. The steering wheel is now wrapped in Alcantara and there’s a new retro-look gearknob.
The car’s engine sound – which we’ve said could do with a little more volume previously – is now enhanced through the stereo, becoming louder when you’re driving in either Sport or +R driving mode and quieter in the Comfort setting. Buyers who want to delve into the detail of their driving performance can now do so via a new LogR smartphone app, which shows data collected through the car’s on-board systems and can even offer tips to make driving smoother. It also includes an on-board lap timer – a service that might be especially useful for track day enthusiasts. No changes have been made to the Type R’s engine, which means the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine produces the same 316bhp that it does today – well up on the outputs of rivals such as the Ford Focus ST and Renault Mégane RS. Prices won’t be announced until closer to the on-sale date this summer, but expect the new Type R to start at around £33,000 – a mild increase on today’s car.

Reader Test Team Renault Zoe Revamped electric small hatchback has an improved range and a classier interior Kris Culmer Kris.Culmer@haymarket.com
THE ZOE HAS been the best-selling electric car in Europe since it launched eight years ago and is a serial winner of What Car? awards, so it makes sense that Renault has effected a number of headline-grabbing updates for this new model, rather than reinventing it. The most notable change is a jump in official range, from 186 to 245 miles, thanks to a larger battery. What’s more, there’s now the option of CCS rapid charging at a rate of up to 50kW, so you can get a full recharge in 70 minutes. The interior has been redesigned as well, gaining a much more premium look, thanks to a reshaped dashboard, a larger infotainment touchscreen – now with smartphone mirroring – and seat fabric made from recycled plastics. Can this keep the Zoe ahead of a plethora of new rivals from Honda, Mini, Peugeot, Vauxhall and more? We asked our readers to deliver their verdict.

Under its refreshed skin, the Zoe has a bigger battery that gives an official range of 245 miles – well up on most rivals
GEORGE FORREST
Age 22 Job Technical director Drives Renault Zoe “The Zoe has definitely been improved in all the key areas. The design is much more stylish than before, especially at the front, plus there are now foglights and ‘scrolling’ LED indicators. “The infotainment is much better as well. The digital instrument display is bigger, at 10.0in, and lets you see the sat-nav map. I also prefer the portrait orientation of the new 9.3in central touchscreen to the old 7.0in landscape screen. It’s very responsive, easy to use and fully customisable, like a
tablet computer. There’s a 4G data connection as well, so the car can receive wireless software updates, and the upgraded Bose stereo sounds great. “The interior is surprisingly spacious and its design is completely new. I also like the introduction of recycled plastic material for the seats; it works well in combination with leather on the high-spec GT-Line model. The material feels much softer than that used in the BMW i3. “I’m excited to hear that there’s a more powerful model with 134bhp. There’s also talk of a Zoe RS hot hatch, which would widen the appeal of electric cars.”
‘I’m excited to hear there’s a more powerful model with 134bhp’
Portrait-orientated 10.0in touchscreen gets the thumbs-up from all of our readers LYN PRANGLE
Age 35 Job CAA officer Drives Renault Zoe “I chose the original Zoe as my first electric car because it was easily the best value for money to buy. There’s also the styling; I like the fact that it looks like a ‘normal’ car. That’s why I’m pleased it hasn’t been changed drastically; it’s mainly just some extra sculpting and LED lights. “The new interior is excellent – not least because it now has two full-size cupholders. Having four USB ports, rather than one, is also good for keeping the kids happy in the back. The Zoe is easily practical enough for a family with two children. The new
infotainment is also an important step forward, especially because it now comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. “I didn’t actually need more range, but I’m sure the 245 miles that the new, bigger battery provides will take the fear out of electric cars for many people. It helps that it can now charge much quicker, too, even if I rarely use public rapid chargers; I can’t charge at home, but I can at work. “I don’t mind that Renault has removed the option to lease the battery, rather than buying it outright, because my car’s battery still had all of its original capacity after three years of ownership.” New model is practical enough for a family with two kids, according to Zoe owner Lyn

The technology is ahead of BMW’s in some areas, particularly the sat-nav, which shows you the best chargers to use en route. “The fact that you can now get the Zoe with a CCS charging port for DC rapid charging is a major step forward. Previously, you had to rely on slower AC charging. “A worry-free range of well over 200 miles is plenty for me, and probably for most people. It makes the i3 and new Mini Electric look poor in comparison. “The Zoe would be an ideal first electric car for anyone, but personally, I want something sportier. A Zoe RS, perhaps?”
“I mostly do short journeys around London, so I’m looking to swap my diesel 5008 for an electric car; they’re easier to drive and infinitely better for local air quality. “I find the new Zoe very appealing. It has the kind of chic interior design that French brands do really well. It feels upmarket, too; the materials all feel good. Even the soft sound of the doors closing impresses. It’s leagues ahead of rivals such as the pricier Nissan Leaf for quality. The Zoe’s infotainment
system is much slicker and more intuitive to use, too. “Although there’s good space for the driver and front passenger, at six feet tall, I felt claustrophobic in the back. It might be a stretch to use a Zoe as my primary family car. “Although Renault boasts that the Zoe can now optionally rapid charge at 50kW, that’s not a game-changer for me, because I’d usually be slow charging the car at home. The ‘real-world’ range that Renault quotes is an impressive 233 miles, but the fact that it will drop to around 150 miles in cold weather is keeping me in two minds about EVs.”

Reliability Survey In association with
Older used cars rated for reliability
How dependable are cars as they get older? Here’s what the owners of cars between six and 15 years of age have told us Buying a new car is usually a reasonably safe prospect; if anything goes wrong, the chances are the cost of getting it fixed will be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Step outside of the new car market, though, and the risks are higher. The majority of warranties last for only three years, and most owners stop paying out for franchised dealer servicing once cars are four or five years old. So, if you don’t choose carefully, you could buy a car that hasn’t been well maintained and might suffer a costly fault.

However, you can significantly reduce the chances of buying a money-pit used car by choosing a reliable make and model. The best older cars suffer almost no faults at all, even when they’re up to 15 years old, and in some cases issues are resolved for free, even though the cars are out of warranty. In contrast, faults occur in more than half of the least dependable models, with many repair bills exceeding £1500, according to the annual What Car? Reliability Survey. On an older car, those costs could even exceed the car’s value. Our survey covers the ownership experiences of 18,119 motorists over a 12-month period, spanning 31 makes and 218 models. Here, we’re focusing on cars aged six to 15 years old. Many are the type of car you might be thinking of buying as a second family car or a first car for a new driver, so their dependability is a prime concern. We asked car owners to tell us what went wrong with their car, grouping the faults into 14 different areas: air conditioning, battery, bodywork, brakes, engine, engine electrics, exhaust, fuel system, gearbox, interior trim, non-engine electrics, sat-nav, steering and suspension. To come up with our unique reliability ratings, which are expressed as a percentage, the two main areas we looked at were how long each faulty car took to be fixed and how much owners had to pay out for repair bills.

Peugeot 107 (2005-2014) What went wrong? Bodywork 6% Brakes 6%
AGE IS NO barrier to being dependable, as Peugeot’s 107 demonstrates; it dates back to 2005 and went off sale six years ago, yet it has a superb reliability record. Only 12% of cars had a problem, and the only areas concerned were the bodywork and brakes. All cars were fixed the same day, with no bills exceeding £100.

Fiat Panda (2012 on) Reliability rating 96.0% The latest Panda is proving pretty sturdy so far, with only 8% of cars suffering a fault. Repair bills ranged from £100 to £200 and the battery was the only afflicted area. The same can’t be said for the previous-generation model (see below). Skoda Citigo (2012 on) Reliability rating 92.8% This Skoda city car fares better than its stablemate, the Volkswagen Up, for reliability, although the Up isn’t far behind, in fourth place with 90%. Owners told us that 16% of Citigos had an issue, with suspension being the most common problem, followed by the gearbox/clutch and non-engine electrics. All cars remained driveable and half were fixed under warranty, but some took more than a week to fix and cost up to £750. LEAST RELIABLE

Honda Jazz (2008-2015) Reliability rating 94.3% The Jazz is not only practical, thanks to its clever double-folding ‘magic’ rear seats, but also highly dependable. Brakes were the most frequently cited issue, with a small percentage of owners also reporting problems with the air-con, battery, bodywork and steering. Most cars could still be driven and cost £100 or less to repair. Toyota Yaris (2011 on) Reliability rating 93.9% The Yaris may not be as roomy inside as the Honda Jazz, but it’s almost as sturdy. Only 14% of cars suffered a fault, with issues split evenly between the battery, bodywork and gearbox. Although two-thirds of the stricken cars couldn’t be driven, the majority of them were back on the road the same day, while repair bills ranged from free to £1000. LEAST RELIABLE

Peugeot 3008 (2009-2017) Reliability rating 56.1% A hefty 45% of 3008s suffered problems, encompassing seven of our fault categories. The most common area of concern was engine electrics, followed by air-con and the fuel system. Most cars could still be driven and were fixed in less than a week; two-thirds of them cost less than £500 to fix, but a small percentage cost £1000 or more.
BMW Z4 (2003-2009) Reliability rating 65.8% The older Z4 isn’t as dependable as its newer sibling; 54% of cars went wrong, with suspension issues being by far the most common complaint. There were also reports of engine and exhaust system faults. Most cars were fixed in less than a day, and while most repair bills didn’t exceed £500, some were more than £1500.
Renault Scenic/Grand Scenic (2009-2012) Reliability rating 58.1% A disappointing 54% of Scenics suffered a fault. Non-engine electrical issues were the most common problem, followed by air-con, brakes, engine electrics and suspension. About a third of the cars were rendered undriveable, and although some were fixed for free, most repairs cost £101-£200, with some as high as £1500.
Mercedes-Benz SLK (2011-2016) Reliability rating 74.9% The SLK wasn’t plagued by lots of problem; 26% of cars had a fault, with brakes and suspension the most commonly cited areas of concern, followed by the engine and gearbox. It lost marks for reliability because more than half of cars languished in the garage for more than a week; most of them cost up to £500 to fix and a small percentage were more than £1500. whatcar.com

Used car reliability
Reliability league table by brand (cars six to 15 years old) Reliability Survey In association with
What Car? says With exceptionally strong performances by the hybrid CT family hatchback and RX luxury SUV, Lexus claims the top spot as the most dependable used car brand. Suzuki and Honda aren’t far behind, buoyed by the durability of the Swift, Jazz and Civic. When we looked at the reliability of newer cars (up to five years old), Mitsubishi lingered just outside the top 10 in 13th place, but it fares better as its models mature, with owners of models such as the ASX family SUV reporting few issues. Another brand that scores better for its older cars is Nissan. It was in 28th place for the reliability of its newer cars, but those between six and 15 years old appear to be more durable. The Leaf and Juke both have a reliability rating above 90%. The last surprise entrant to the top 10 is Alfa Romeo, which was partly given a boost by the Giulietta’s relatively strong reliability rating of 83.7%. At the other end of the spectrum, the durability of the Range Rover Sport – it scored 94.4%, making it the third-best large and luxury SUV – isn’t enough to compensate for the brand’s other problem-prone models, so Land Rover lies in last place. The high proportion of faults suffered by a number of its models ensures Renault is relegated to the bottom of the league, too. Peugeot fared reasonably well in our newer car reliability table, lying in 18th place with a score of 93.4%, but the high fault rates of the 207 and old 3008 dragged it down here. The 107 bucks this trend, though; it’s our most dependable city car, with a score of 97.8%. Subaru also plummets down the table for older cars; no single model stands out, but owners reported high levels of faults across the range.

How to spec your Volkswagen T-Roc R 2
There’s no better way of saying this: the Volkswagen T-Roc R is an absolute hoot to drive. Its 296bhp petrol engine provides hot hatch pace and, in combination with the T-Roc’s thrilling handling, makes for a truly engaging package; that’s why it’s our favourite sports SUV for less than £40,000. You get plenty of equipment as standard, but here’s our guide to adding more luxuries without breaking the bank. BEST BUY Volkswagen T-Roc R 2.0 TSI 4Motion DSG List price £38,450 Target Price £36,236 Options we’d add Akraprovic titanium sports exhaust system (£3000), Dynamic Chassis Control (£695), Driver Assistance Pack (£205), rear-view camera (£185), matt decorative inserts (£115) Cost of options £4200

To get the most out of the T-Roc R, you’ll want to upgrade to Dynamic Chassis Control (£695), which allows you to switch the car’s suspension between three settings: Sport, Comfort and Normal. In Sport, the T-Roc R has less body lean than rivals, making it even more engaging to thread along country roads.

The £205 Driver Assistance Pack adds kit such as lane-keeping and traffic jam assistance, as well as electrically heated door mirrors and automatic wipers. You might not bother with each item individually, but collectively they’ll make the T-Roc R more relaxing on longer trips, and the pack doesn’t cost much.
Front and rear parking sensors come as standard on the T-Roc R, but to make sure you don’t inadvertently reverse into the neighbour’s wall, you’ll want to get a rear-view camera for £185. It gives you extra reassurance, and could prevent a ‘watch me park’ moment from ending with an embarrassing phone call.
You might wince at spending £3000 on what is, essentially, a purely soundtrack-enhancing upgrade, but the truth is that the T-Roc R’s standard exhaust is a little, well, tame. With this one from specialist Akraprovic fitted instead, there’ll be no mistaking your arrival for anything other than in a thoroughbred sports SUV.
5
We think that for a car with the T-Roc R’s brief, the standard interior is actually very drab. That’s why we recommend upgrading it with inserts for the dashboard and centre console which match the exterior colour of your car. These are plastic, but they lift the T-Roc R’s ambience and, at £115, don’t cost a lot.

WHAT THE UK’S TOUGH NEW EMISSIONS TARGET MEANS FOR YOU As the ban on the sale of all new petrol, diesel and hybrid cars is brought forward by five years, to 2035, we look at how it will affect you and how you can prepare
BRITISH CAR AND van buyers will be able to buy only pure electric vehicles (EVs) from 2035, with the sale of new petrol, diesel, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models being banned. Last month’s government announcement brought forward a previously declared date of 2040 for a ban on conventional fossil-fuelled vehicles. It also altered the earlier intention to allow new hybrids to continue to be sold. Under the new plan, hybrids and plug-in hybrids, which are powered by a combination of a petrol or diesel engine and an electric motor and can do shorter trips (of up to about 30 miles, in most cases) on electric power alone, will also be phased out. Pulling the date forward five years poses a challenge for car makers to provide enough EVs to meet demand, with battery shortages currently delaying the supply of some models, such as the Kia e-Niro – a former overall What Car? Car of the Year. Infrastructure providers will also be under pressure to deliver enough charging points when sales ramp up from today’s 1.6% of all new car sales to 100% in 15 years’ time. The Government has brought
50 April 2020
whatcar.com
the date forward because it says 2040 will be too late if the UK wants to achieve its target of emitting virtually zero carbon by 2050. In a speech at a UN summit on climate change, prime minister Boris Johnson said: “As we set out our plans to hit our ambitious 2050 net zero target, so we shall urge others to join us in pledging net zero emissions. There can be no greater responsibility than protecting our planet, and no mission that a global Britain is prouder to serve.” The proposed ban can only be approved following a public consultation, but if it is, the only new cars and vans you’ll be able to buy from 2035 will be powered by electricity, either by charging from a power point or created from hydrogen.
What has the reaction been?
AA president Edmund King cautioned that a shortage of batteries could test the industry’s ability to provide enough cars. “Drivers support measures to clean up air quality and reduce CO2 emissions, but these stretched targets are incredibly challenging,” he said.
The RAC’s head of policy, Nicholas Lyes, said: “We aren’t surprised by the Government’s plans to bring forward the date to ban the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles to 2035, because there is an indisputable need to tackle climate change. “A more ambitious target should be the catalyst for faster change, but there are clearly many hurdles to cross. Manufacturers face a great challenge in switching their production from conventional engines to cleaner electric technology. “More EVs will also require a great deal of investment in charging infrastructure – particularly for those who rely on on-street parking outside their homes.” Friends of the Earth’s Mike Childs said: “A new 2035 target will still leave the UK in the slow lane of the electric car revolution and in the meantime allow more greenhouse gases to spew into the atmosphere.” Meanwhile, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) called the move “extremely concerning”. The trade body said: “Manufacturers are fully
SAYS Our advice is to work out the costs for your particular situation. You’ll need to take into account your mileage, the cost of the fuel, any charges you might face and the risk of diesel models dropping further in value. For the highest-mileage drivers, diesel will still make the most sense. But if you don’t do enough miles to justify the extra cost those new charges might add to your outgoings, putting your money into a petrol or electrified car might be a safer bet.
invested in a zero-emissions future, with some 60 plug-in models now on the market and 34 more coming in 2020. However, with current demand for this still-expensive technology still just a fraction of sales, it’s clear that accelerating an already very challenging ambition will take more than industry investment.” The SMMT also described the current state of the UK’s charging infrastructure as “woefully inadequate”.
What does this mean for drivers?
The clock is ticking for petrol, diesel and hybrid cars, with 15 years at the very most left for buyers to purchase these vehicles new. In the short term, don’t expect much to change, because most of us will change cars at least once more in that time. However, as we get closer to the ban, expect to see larger discounts on any remaining new cars and vans with combustion engines and more incentives designed to get you into a fully electric model instead. As is already happening today, you’ll see
more and more EVs go on sale, to make sure that buyers have as much choice as possible and get used to the idea of going electric. Also expect to see continuing investment in the UK’s charging infrastructure, with more charging points popping up in your area.
How many electric cars are sold today?
Last year, 37,850 new fully electric cars were sold in the UK – an increase of 144% compared with the previous year but still representing just 1.6% of the overall new car market. Meanwhile, sales of plug-in hybrids were down by almost 18% compared with 2018, with 34,734 sold. The decline in plug-in hybrids has been put down to supply issues relating to the introduction of the WLTP emissions tests in late 2018 and the removal of the government grant for such cars.
How will this affect used car values?
The headline announcement about the ban on the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid cars
from 2035 probably won’t affect values in the short term. However, it’s part of a larger air quality strategy from the Government, which elsewhere expresses support for levying fees on older vehicles, especially diesels. It’s likely that this will have an effect on the values of older diesels as more towns and cities introduce such charges, in the vein of London’s Ultra Low-Emission Zone (ULEZ), which charges drivers of older, more polluting cars £12.50 a day to enter. Diesel car values are slipping relative to their petrol counterparts in some areas of the market, and this trend is likely to continue as more and more owners realise that choosing a diesel car might lead to significant extra charges if they use them to commute. The values of used petrol cars could rise, particularly in semi-rural locations where they won’t be subject to the same additional fees as diesels. Buying a petrol-powered used car instead is likely to be the most logical option. But they’re vastly fewer in number in some classes, such as executive saloons and large SUVs. whatcar.com

Do I have the right to reject a faulty new car?
Does my new tow car need to be a diesel? I am looking to buy a nearly new car in the
next few months, and I’m also planning on buying a caravan. The choice of caravan isn’t yet fixed, but I do know it will be between 1400kg and 1500kg maximum technically permissible laden mass (MTPLM, or the entire weight of the caravan and all its contents). I would like a Skoda Karoq, and I assume that to tow a caravan of the weight mentioned, a diesel would be the way to go. Should I go for a 2.0-litre diesel model, or would a 1.6 be up to the job? My other option is a 2.0-litre diesel Volkswagen Tiguan, which I know is more than gutsy enough for the task. Given that diesel engines are now being seen as the scourge of the Earth, do either Skoda or Volkswagen do a petrol model that would make a good tow car?
Nigel Grimwood
WHAT CAR? SAYS… Our tow car expert, David Motton, says: “It’s complicated, because there are two sets of figures for cars and caravans: the legal maximum towing capacity and what the Camping and Caravanning Club would consider to be best practice. It recommends that a caravan should tip the scales at no more than 85% of the tow car’s kerb weight, especially if the driver is new to towing. “The legal towing limit is often much heavier than the kerb weight of the tow car, but it is based on the car’s ability to tow a certain weight of trailer up a slope repeatedly. It’s a measure of the strength of the engine and gearbox rather than an indication of a safe and sensible weight to tow at 60mph on the motorway.
52 April 2020
whatcar.com
“Most of the cars you’re considering can legally tow a caravan with an MTPLM of 14001500kg, but to do so won’t necessarily be what’s recommended for stable, stress-free towing. “Abiding by the 85% guideline, the minimum kerb weight of a car for towing a caravan with an MTPLM of 1400kg is 1647kg, or 1765kg if you’re towing a 1500kg caravan. “In addition, car companies quote a range of kerb weights for each model, because there can be big differences in weight depending on the trim level and amount of standard equipment. Based on the lowest kerb weight for each model you’re considering, the Skoda Karoq 2.0 TDI 4x4 DSG can tow 1366kg, the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 4Motion DSG can tow 1422kg and the higher-powered Tiguan 2.0 TDI 190 4Motion can tow 1465kg. “I wouldn’t recommend the 1.6-litre diesel or 1.5-litre petrol versions of the Karoq or Tiguan for towing; they would struggle. The 2.0-litre petrol Tiguan would manage better, but still not as well as the equivalent diesel, and fuel economy will be poor when towing. “So, although the Karoq is a good tow car, we’d opt for either of the 2.0-litre diesel Tiguans, because they’re both better for towing a fairly heavy caravan.”
‘A caravan should tip the scales at no more than 85% of the tow car’s kerb weight’
I recently ordered a new car on a personal contract purchase deal, part-exchanging my previous car and paying a £500 deposit on a credit card to start the deal off. I collected the car on 31 December 2019, and after just one week the engine malfunction light appeared. So I phoned the garage and was advised to wait and see if it happened again. A week later it did, so I took the car to the garage and the light came on during an extended test drive by the service team. I have since been told that the car requires a replacement turbocharger. I’m no expert, but this sounds like a significant fault to me, suggesting that the car is not fit for purpose. I am within my 30-day limit for rejecting the car under the Consumer Rights Act. The garage has had my car for eight days now while diagnosing the fault, but the finance company says I am not eligible to reject the vehicle, because their contract agreement states I had only 14 days from signing the agreement to change my mind. Do I really have no rights regarding a brand new car that has a serious fault? Do I just have to allow the garage to fix it rather than reject it? Sarah Law
WHAT CAR? SAYS… You do have the right under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 to reject any product within 30 days and get a full refund if it’s not of satisfactory quality or fit for purpose. And this sounds like the case with your car. It seems like the finance company is confusing your Consumer Rights Act rights with the 14-day cooling-off period you have to change your mind after buying goods at a distance or online. We’d advise you to formally reject the car in writing to the finance company and dealership, hand back any paperwork and spare keys, and let them know you require a full refund within 14 days. Don’t accept any offer of repair; you don’t have to do this within the first 30 days.
Which electric SUV will suit us? We’re a family of four: two adults and two children. We currently drive a Land Rover Discovery Sport, which in terms of practicality is perfect for us. The seven seats often come in handy and the boot is just big enough to allow us to do our regular trip from the UK to Italy, because we camp along the way and need it to accommodate a large tent. However, the time is right to change to an electric car, but we don’t know which will suit us best. The most important thing is that there is no compromise on space; we’d also like a real-world range of 250 miles, because this would match our weekly use. We’ve driven the Kia e-Niro and liked it a lot, although it doesn’t feel as solid or luxurious as the Discovery Sport and its boot is small. We’ve also considered the Jaguar I-Pace, which isn’t very practical and feels a bit too opulent for a family vehicle. Are there other EVs we should be considering?
WHAT CAR? SAYS… There aren’t many fully electric SUVs with a real-world range of more than 250 miles; the only ones to have exceeded that in our Real Range tests are the Hyundai Kona Electric, Jaguar I-Pace and Kia e-Niro.

USEFUL CONTACTS WHO CAN HELP
I feel that this makes your review misleading. Do you agree?
Clive Borg
WHAT CAR? SAYS… Our reviews editor, Will Nightingale, responded to this question by saying: “Our overall star ratings aren’t based on the mean average of the 16 individual areas we appraise. That approach would leave us with no five-star cars at all and very probably no two-star cars either. “The necessary compromises when designing and building a car mean that improving one aspect, such as performance, usually has a negative impact elsewhere – in the i10’s case, fuel economy and CO2 emissions.
Trading Standards
That’s why cars rarely score five stars in more than five or six areas. “We have a rule that a car needs to score five stars in at least three key areas to be considered for a five-star rating overall. In many cases, the cars with the highest number of total stars in any given class will be awarded five stars, and those with the fewest one or two stars. “However, we do weight qualities differently depending on the type of car we’re assessing. So, for example, a sports car that scored highly for performance and handling is likely to be rated above one that scored well for rear space or boot space – even if the latter racked up a greater number of stars overall.”

THE PROBLEM WITH being at the top of your game is that there’s always someone trying to topple you. Take the Ford Puma. Despite winning our overall Car of the Year gong in January, there’s already a brand new Renault Captur gunning for it. The original Captur was a smash hit, thanks to funky looks, a clever interior and keen pricing, and this second-generation version promises all of those attributes but with a bit more polish. We’ve got our hands on an entry-level TCe 100 in mid-rung Iconic trim, which costs well under £20,000. Because of the Captur’s bargain price, we’ve lined up a Puma in
FORD PUMA BEST HANDLING

entry-level Titanium trim with the least powerful engine in the line-up: a 123bhp 1.0-litre petrol. With an asking price of just over £20,000, is it worth the extra? Our final contender is the Skoda Kamiq, which has impressed us in match-ups against the Volkswagen T-Cross and Kia Stonic. For the first time, it’s appearing here in 1.0 TSI 115 SE form, which could be the sweet spot of the range. DRIVING Performance, ride, handling, refinement
Although it doesn’t have much less power on paper, the Captur
is well off the pace here. Whereas the Kamiq and Puma can cover 0-60mph and 30-70mph in about 9.5sec, the Captur takes a full two seconds longer. That’s not good on a short motorway slip road with a car full of people. The Captur also has flat spots in its power delivery, where acceleration seems to tail off, only to increase again as engine revs rise further. Special mention should go to the Puma’s mild hybrid technology. It can’t drive the car on electricity alone, but a small electric motor attached to the engine boosts low-rev urgency and improves fuel economy. That means the Puma pulls from as little as 1000rpm –
500rpm earlier than the Kamiq and nearly 1000rpm sooner than the Captur, so you have adequate acceleration from lower engine speeds. Changing gears is a joy in the Puma, too, while the Kamiq’s gearshift is also slick, but the Captur’s is long and a bit vague. The Captur’s engine can’t match the Kamiq’s and Puma’s for refinement, either. The only downside to the Puma’s engine is that it sounds boomy when it’s asked to pull hard from low revs in a high gear, something the Kamiq avoids. Around town, the Puma’s automatic stop-start system works almost imperceptibly, thanks to the hybrid tech. The Kamiq fires
up again smartly, too, but the Captur takes ages to wake up and is frustratingly easy to stall. Overall, the Puma is the quietest at 70mph, with the least wind and road noise. You’ll notice more gustiness in the Kamiq, along with some slight engine noise, but the Captur suffers most from wind noise and there’s a bit of whine from the gearbox. As for ride quality, the Kamiq is the most comfortable of our contenders on all types of roads. Its suspension is soft without being wallowy, and only particularly vicious ruts and bumps can be felt through your backside. The Captur somehow manages to feel >> whatcar.com

COMPARISON firmer than the Kamiq, fidgeting more over imperfect asphalt, even though it lollops around far more over undulating road surfaces. As a result, the Puma gets the silver medal for comfort, even though it has the firmest suspension here. That’s because it quickly recovers its composure after negotiating a bump, whereas the Captur wobbles around for a second or two after. The Puma is also the best through corners, with plenty of grip balanced evenly front to rear, not much body lean and a real feeling of agility. Impresively, the firmer ST-Line models handle even more sharply with little impact on ride comfort. The Kamiq leans a little more than the Puma but has plenty of grip and good balance, so it handles tidily. While the Puma’s steering gives you a slightly better sense of connection to the front tyres, the Kamiq’s is far better than the Captur’s, which is overly light and vague. The Captur also has the least front-end grip and the most lean, discouraging you from trying to drive it quickly.

1 This is a great gearbox, but we’d prefer the lever to be mounted a little higher for swift changes
2 You can control a lot from the steering wheel, but there are too many small buttons
3 Titanium doesn’t get digital instruments, but the analogue ones with an info screen are clear
INFOTAINMENT
RENAULT CAPTUR
Although you get a 9.3in screen on top-spec Capturs, Iconic trim makes do with a relatively small, 7.0in one. The graphics aren’t particularly sharp and it can be sluggish to respond to commands. Sat-nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are all standard, but there are no physical shortcut buttons, so jumping between functions is tricky on the move, not helped by some small icons.

BEHIND THE WHEEL Driving position, visibility, build quality
The Kamiq feels rather vertically challenged from behind the wheel, with the seat placing you barely any higher off the ground than you’d be in a regular hatchback. Jump into the Puma and you certainly sit higher, even with the seat in its lowest position, but it’s the Captur that feels the loftiest. All of our contenders have steering wheels that adjust up and down as well as in and out, plus height-adjustable driver’s seats. Although the Puma and Kamiq come with adjustable lumbar support, this isn’t available at all in the Captur. All said, the Puma edges the Kamiq for the best driving position, with the Captur a distant third. The Kamiq’s huge windows give it by far the best visibility. Factor in standard rear parking sensors and bright LED headlights (matched by the Captur) and it’s a clear winner here. The Puma and Captur suffer from windows that narrow towards the rear of the car and a much smaller rear screen. At least both have rear parking sensors as standard, while all three have the option of front sensors and a reversing camera. In terms of quality, the Kamiq comes out on top, with lots of squishy plastics and a few attractive trims. Its interior is by no means flashy, but it’s solidly built and very grown-up. The Captur looks far glitzier

1 Gearknob is too bulky, plus it feels a bit cheap, with its faux leather and metal trim
2 Dials look like they’re from the 1990s and the central information screen is rather small

Standard 8.0in touchscreen is the best of the bunch when it comes to usability, with big, clear icons, clear graphics and logical menus. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard – handy, because sat-nav isn’t, unless you upgrade to a 9.2in screen (£1230, combined with a digital instrument panel). Physical shortcut and volume buttons would be better than the touchsensitive ones, though. BEST SYSTEM
1 Leather on handbrake, gearknob and steering wheel feels the highest quality here by far

initially, especially with our test car’s optional orange interior pack (£350). Everything that’s orange and the top of the dashboard are squishy, but you’ll find plenty of hard plastics and a particularly floppy gearlever surround. It feels the cheapest interior here. The Puma has just as many hard, scratchy plastics as the Captur, but Ford has been more cunning with their deployment. Only the top of the dashboard is soft-touch, but the expanse of padded cloth on the doors is perfectly placed for your arm to rest on and looks better than black plastic.
The Captur feels the tightest up front. That’s because it has the least head and leg room and a high-mounted gearlever bisecting the interior. Even so, a six-footer will fit fine. The Puma has a little more head room and matches the Kamiq for maximum front leg room, but the Skoda has by far the most head room and feels airiest. Move to the rear seats and the Kamiq is in a class of its own. It has enough leg and head room to shame some SUVs in the class above and it’s the best for accommodating three rear passengers. Our only slight gripe is that it has a tall, thin hump in the floor that can make climbing in and out awkward. The Captur offers a little more rear leg room than the Puma, but even so, the Puma is the more comfortable of the two for those in the back, because even though the Captur has more head room on paper, the sides of the car curve in to meet the roof, so you’re more likely to bump the side of your head. That’s especially true if you try to squeeze three in the rear. Add in the Captur’s larger central floor hump and the Puma squeaks ahead in this area. All three get regular 60/40 splitfolding rear seatbacks, although the Captur’s bench also slides fore and aft as one piece. Handily, this can be done from the boot or the rear seat area. The Kamiq is the only one without a standard height-adjustable boot floor, but at least it’s only £155 as an option. What the Kamiq does have is a huge boot, which can swallow seven carry-on suitcases to the Captur’s six. The Kamiq also has handy hooks and cubbies to stop shopping and smaller objects from rolling around your boot. However, it’s the Puma that comes out on top, swallowing eight cases thanks to something Ford calls the MegaBox. This sizeable >> whatcar.com

If you’re taking out a PCP finance deal, the Captur is your cheapest option. Put down £2500 and, thanks in part to a £1000 deposit contribution from Renault at the time of writing, you’ll pay £218 per month over three years with a 10,000-mile annual cap. Skoda offers a £2000 contribution, but you’ll still pay £242 per month. Ford has no special deals on the in-demand Puma, so it’s the priciest, at £274 per month. If you’re buying outright, you’ll find hefty discounts on the Kamiq, allowing it to undercut the Puma and Captur. Look at all your running costs over three years and the Kamiq works out cheapest, with the Puma costing an extra £1600 and the Captur slightly more again. For company car drivers in the 40% tax bracket, just £4 separates the monthly benefit-in-kind cost of all three. As for real-world economy, the Puma managed 43.5mpg during our test, the Kamiq 41.6mpg and the Captur a disappointing 39.0mpg. When it comes to equipment, the Kamiq is adequate rather than generous. It’s the only car here without climate control and sat-nav, for example. The Captur is the most stingily equipped and there aren’t a great deal of options you can add. That leaves the Puma with the most generous roster of kit, which includes a heated windscreen, massaging front seats and wireless phone charging. All get automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance to stop you from straying over white lines. Each received five stars in Euro NCAP safety tests, although the Puma isn’t quite as good at protecting adults in an impact. The Puma and Kamiq get three-year/60,000mile warranties, the Captur five years/100,000 miles. All three cars are too new to be featured in our latest reliability survey, but Skoda as a brand came ninth out of 31, Ford 14th and Renault a lowly 30th. >>

Ford Puma vs Renault Captur vs Skoda Kamiq
SAYS Although Renault has more experience with small SUVs than Ford and Skoda, the Captur finishes a distant third in this test. There’s no doubt it’s better than its predecessor, and the sliding rear bench could be rather handy, but the anaemic engine, limited interior space and mediocre driving manners count against it. With that decision made, it’s time to pick a winner. After totting up the scores, we face a quandary: the Puma and Kamiq are on exactly the same total. There’s no doubt the Kamiq is a sensible choice, impressing with its tidy handling, comfortable ride and spacious, well-assembled interior. However, we suspect that those seeking a small SUV won’t have rear seat space as a major consideration. More appealing will be a cleverly thought out and huge boot, decent levels of standard equipment and great fuel economy – all things the Puma nails. When you consider that it’s also the most enjoyable car here to drive no matter where you are, the Puma squeaks the victory.

FROM APRIL, COMPANY car tax will become cheaper. Don’t worry, we’re not trying to fool you; we’re just pointing out that changes in benefit-in-kind (BIK) taxation mean that if you pick your car carefully, your bank balance will look a whole lot healthier. That’s because while the majority of regular petrol and diesel models will be hit with a rise in tax rates, the costs for electric cars and many plug-in hybrids will drop significantly. But low CO2 emissions aren’t the be-all and end-all any more. That’s because hybrids that produce just
1-50g/km are now also judged on the number of miles they can cover on battery power alone. That being the case, the new BMW X5 xDrive45e finds itself in a very sweet position right about now. With a CO2 output of 39g/km and an official electric-only range of up to 54 miles, it enjoys a BIK rate of just 6% after 6 April. To put it another way, it means your monthly tax bill will be less than if you’d gone for a sub-£25,000 1.0-litre Ford Puma small SUV. But what does all this mean for the What Car? award-winning Volvo XC90 T8? With a CO2 output

of 66g/km and an official electriconly range of up to 29 miles, it sits in a much higher BIK tax bracket (18%), but that doesn’t mean we should count it out. After all, it’s the only plug-in hybrid SUV with seven seats, and it has plenty of other talents to shout about, too. DRIVING Performance, ride, handling, refinement
Despite their green credentials, these big, heavy cars are seriously quick. The XC90 pairs a 299bhp supercharged and turbocharged
2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine (driving the front wheels) with an 86bhp electric motor that drives the rears. The X5 does things a bit differently, positioning its 111bhp electric motor between a 282bhp 3.0-litre turbocharged straight six petrol engine and an eight-speed automatic gearbox and apportioning drive continuously to all four wheels. With the X5’s more even spread of power, it accelerates off the line far more authoritatively, sprinting from a standstill to 60mph in just 5.1sec. The XC90 is far from sluggish, taking 5.7sec
to cover the 0-60mph dash, but it always feels less punchy, largely because its smaller petrol engine needs to be revved hard before it produces its best. Both cars can get to the motorway speed limit on battery power alone if necessary. As for their electric-only ranges, the X5 returned an impressive 32.5 miles on our set test route, which replicates a range of real-world driving environments, whereas the XC90 managed just 18.7 miles. The X5’s engine is smoother and quieter when it fires into life and sounds more tuneful when you
rev it hard. And although its tyres make more of a slapping noise over bumps around town, the X5 is a more relaxing cruiser, suffering less from wind and tyre noise on the motorway. Its suspension is quieter at all speeds, too. But a hushed interior is no good if your luxury SUV has a backbreaking ride. Despite the fact that our X5 test car was wearing large, optional 21in wheels (part of the £1900 M Sport Plus package), it has an ace up its sleeve in the shape of standard adaptive air suspension. Although particularly vicious potholes and ridges still whatcar.com

COMPARISON thump through to your backside, the X5 positively floats over most imperfections, proving especially supple when cruising on the motorway. We suspect it’d be even better on the 20in wheels that are standard with M Sport trim. R-Design XC90s come with 20in wheels and regular suspension that’s noticeably stiffer. The upside is that the XC90 controls its body movements pretty well, without too much pitching and heaving along uneven roads. The downside is that the car fidgets more than the X5 over surface imperfections at all speeds and deals with sharp bumps far more abruptly. You wouldn’t quite call it uncomfortable, but it certainly isn’t as cosseting as the X5. Adaptive air suspension is a £2150 option on the XC90, but it doesn’t improve matters enough to warrant spending the extra money. We’d certainly avoid the optional 21in or 22in wheels, because these make the ride even worse. The combination of the XC90’s stiffer suspension and lower weight means it feels more agile in corners than the X5. It not only leans over less but also changes direction in a snappier fashion. Even if you flick the X5 into its Sport mode, which firms up the suspension and lowers the body closer to the ground, it still sways around more. Mind you, the X5 has more naturally weighted steering that gets heavier as cornering forces and speed increase – just as it should. It’s also very precise. The XC90’s steering feels like the front wheels are half-buried in mud when you first turn the wheel, then there isn’t enough weight build-up to give you confidence during cornering.
BMW X5
INFOTAINMENT We’ve long said that BMW’s infotainment system is the best in the business, and the X5 doesn’t change our mind one bit. It’s controlled by a rotary dial between the seats or via the 12.3in touchscreen and comes with sat-nav, DAB and wireless Apple CarPlay smartphone mirroring, but not Android Auto. The menus are easy to navigate, the graphics are crisp and it responds promptly to inputs.

INFOTAINMENT At 9.0in, the XC90’s touchscreen is much smaller than the X5’s and nowhere near as responsive to commands. In addition, some of the icons are quite small, making them tricky to hit on the move, while the menus can be confusing. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are packaged as a £300 option, but they’re displayed only on the bottom half of the screen, so they aren’t all that easy to see at a glance.

BEHIND THE WHEEL Driving position, visibility, build quality
Both contenders have lofty seating positions with fine visibility all round, courtesy of big windows. With a great range of electric adjustment in their driver’s seats and lots of height and reach adjustment for their steering wheels, finding an ideal driving position is a doddle in both. Our X5 test car came with ‘Comfort’ front seats that are part of a £2350 Comfort Package. This also brings heated rear seats, rear sunblinds, keyless entry and even heated and cooled cupholders, which are very effective. Both driver’s seats are exceedingly comfortable even after hours in the saddle, although we prefer the X5’s slightly squidgier seat base. Handily, both cars have a memory function for the driver’s seats and door mirrors, so sharing the car with a partner who’s a different height from you needn’t cause any grumbling. Front and rear parking sensors are standard on both, as are reversing cameras. Both SUVs look flash inside, thanks to faux-leather-wrapped dashboards and door panels, real leather seats, digital instrument panels and dense plastics. However, the X5’s materials are that bit richer, its switches and knobs work slightly more pleasingly and its digital displays are noticeably crisper. The X5’s digital dials are also more sophisticated than the XC90’s rather limited display, which can only show a map or music information in the gap between the ‘dials’. That said, the X5’s instruments feel a little like a case of style over substance; they aren’t as legible as we’d like. SPACE AND PRACTICALITY Front space, rear space, seating flexibility, boot
‘The XC90’s engine is coarser and has to be worked hard for it to give its best’
This is where the XC90 really comes into its own. For a start, as we’ve said, it’s the only plug-in hybrid that’s available with seven seats, whereas in the X5 there’s no option to add a third row like you can with other versions. The XC90 also comes with a much more flexible middle-row seat layout, giving it a clear advantage when it comes to practicality. The XC90’s three individual middle-row seats – split fairly evenly in a 35/30/35 arrangement – not only slide fore and aft, allowing you to prioritise boot space or rear leg room, but also recline. As for the X5, its rear seats are fixed, but the 40/20/40 rear seatback split is still convenient. whatcar.com

XC90 is more agile and leans less in corners, while X5 has a more comfortable ride
66 April 2020
whatcar.com
When it comes to interior space, both of our contenders are well endowed; even taller folk will be able to stretch out in comfort in the front. Behind them, the XC90 has more leg room when its middle-row seats are slid all the way back, while the X5 offers more head room. But whichever car you pick, a six-footer will be able to fit behind another and still remain perfectly comfortable. Middle-seat passengers will prefer the X5, due to its almost flat rear floor; there’s a hump to straddle in the XC90. While the X5 rules itself out as a seven-seater, there’s plenty of room for kids in the XC90’s third row; even normal-sized adults will be fine on shorter journeys. Our only grumble is that access to the third row is a little tight. The XC90’s boot is barely compromised in hybrid form, either, with the T8 losing only 40 litres of space compared with regular versions – roughly equivalent to a carry-on suitcase. The hybrid X5 is hit harder, losing 150 litres of space compared with other versions, with a higher boot floor and less underfloor storage space. The result is that while the X5 can swallow a still-decent nine carry-on cases, the XC90 can hold an even more impressive 10. For convenience, the X5’s rear seatbacks can be folded down via levers inside the boot. The XC90 only has release levers on the tops of the seatbacks, requiring you to go around to the side doors to operate them, unless you’re exceptionally tall. BUYING AND OWNING Costs, equipment, reliability, safety and security
If you’re a company car driver, both of these cars promise to drastically reduce ownership costs compared with their conventional petrol and diesel equivalents, thanks to their favourable BIK rates. But the X5’s much lower tax band means it doesn’t just beat the XC90 on BIK; it annihilates it. You’ll pay less than half what you’d have to sacrifice each month with the XC90, saving you nearly £8000 over three years. If you’re contemplating a PCP finance deal, the XC90 is £89 per month cheaper on the same 36-month term with a limit of 10,000 miles per year and a £6700 deposit, while leasing it will cost you £79 per month less. Things are tighter if you’re planning on buying one privately with cash; in fact, there’s barely anything in it for up-front costs. The X5 is predicted to hold onto its value better and is cheaper to
‘You’ll save nearly £8000 in company car tax over three years if you opt for the X5’ service, though, and its excellent electric-only range means you’ll save around £1300 in combined petrol and electricity costs over three years, assuming both cars’ batteries are topped up regularly and most of your journeys are around 40 miles long. When the batteries are fully depleted, the X5’s petrol engine is a bit thirstier (25mpg on our Test MPG circuit, versus the XC90’s 27.5mpg), but even so, the X5 will cost private buyers about £2300 less to run over three years when all the costs you’re likely to face are factored in. However, it’s worth bearing in mind that most private buyers, who don’t benefit from choosing a plug-in hybrid anywhere as much as business drivers, will be better off with a regular diesel version of either car, simply because they’re cheaper to buy in the first place. Both SUVs are well equipped, although the XC90 edges ahead thanks to climate control that allows occupants of both front seats and the outer rears to set their own temperature (the X5 has just two zones), plus keyless entry rather than just keyless start and a tailgate that opens if you wave your foot under the rear bumper instead of one that requires a button prod. The XC90 also proves safer than the X5, doing a better job of protecting both adults and children in an impact. As for reliability, the XC90 finished just above mid-table in the luxury SUV class, while this generation of X5 was too new to appear. Volvo ranked 11th in the manufacturers’ table (out of 31), well ahead of BMW in 21st spot. Sadly, neither car comes with a Type 2 cable that allows faster charging – just one you plug into a three-pin plug socket. That means you’ll be waiting five hours for the XC90 to charge fully from flat and 10.6 hours for the X5, due to its larger battery. At their maximum 3.7kW charging rate via a dedicated home wallbox, the XC90 still takes three hours and the X5 nearly seven, so we’d definitely take the optional Type 2 cable that you’d need to use one. Volvo charges only £50 for this and BMW £165.

SAYS Although the XC90’s seven-seat capability will make it the only option for some, that isn’t enough to see off the new plug-in hybrid X5. Yes, the XC90 is a little bit more agile and slightly better equipped and potentially safer in a crash, but we just can’t ignore the small matter of money. For company car drivers in particular, the X5 won’t just be cheap to run for a luxury SUV; it’ll be cheap to run full stop. It’s still very good to drive and its more comfortable ride will matter more than agility to many. We wish it had more flexible rear seats, but there’s plenty of space for both luggage and people, regardless. Factor in the X5’s much better electric-only range and its smooth, powerful engine and it’s the clear winner.

UPWARD MOBILITY. IT’S not an uncommon or unworthy quest in life, and it’s something Peugeot has been working tirelessly to achieve. A decade ago, most of its models struggled to compete with mainstream rivals; now many of them have the premium-badged competition in their sights. But with that steady progress has come an equally steady rise in prices. Indeed, Peugeot’s latest small hatch, the 208, costs a fair bit more to buy than an equivalent Volkswagen Polo; that’s one of the main reasons why it lost out to that car in a previous match-up. In fact, in range-topping GT Line trim, the 208’s price creeps well

into the posh end of the small car market, cornered by the Audi A1 and Mini. Can the 208 really compete in such company? DRIVING Performance, ride, handling, refinement
You’re probably expecting to hear that the Mini is the sporty choice, and when it comes to straight-line performance, it certainly is. With a larger, more powerful engine than its rivals here, it’s the only one you could genuinely describe as nippy, and it can easily beat the other two away from a set of traffic lights. The A1 comes second in the
0-60mph dash, despite having the smallest engine of our trio, with the 208 bringing up the rear. However, thanks in part to its shorter gearing, the 208 actually picks up speed quickest when you accelerate from low revs in a high gear, something that’s handy on A-roads and motorways. It’s also easier to drive than the Mini; the latter has a notchy gearbox and an unnecessarily heavy clutch pedal. Mind you, the 208’s gearshift is a bit woolly compared with the A1’s, so it doesn’t snick from one gear to another as satisfyingly. The A1 also has the most positive and feelsome clutch pedal, which
New 208 is more about comfort and hushed cruising manners than driving thrills
helps when you’re trying to keep things smooth at low speeds. There’s more bad news for the Mini when it comes to cornering. The British brand may trade on the ‘go-kart feel’ of its cars, but that isn’t always the case in reality. The steering feels artificial and overly heavy, and although it’s certainly very quick (only a tiny movement of the wheel is needed to get the car to change direction), this only serves to make the Mini feel nervous at higher speeds. The A1 not only has more naturally weighted steering but also feels far more composed during quick changes of direction, plus it has more grip when you
need it. As a result, it’s a more enjoyable car to drive at all speeds. So, where does that leave the 208? Well, although it feels the least eager to change direction and leans the most through bends, we still prefer its more composed, predictable cornering manners to the Mini’s disjointedness. It can’t hold a candle to the A1, though. The Mini also disappoints for ride comfort – despite our test car coming with optional adaptive suspension (£600). Even in its most relaxed setting, you’re jostled around too much along scarred urban streets; things don’t even completely settle down on the motorway. whatcar.com

COMPARISON The A1 is far more easygoing, dealing with all manner of bumps more smoothly and effectively. However, the 208’s softer suspension means it’s the most comfortable of our trio for much of the time, floating over ripples and undulations and only gently swaying from side to side as it does so. It’s only over a series of sharp-edged impacts that you feel shockwaves through the car. But surely the 208 can’t compete with its premium-badged peers when it comes to isolating you from the outside world? In fact, it can; it’s actually the quietest at a steady 70mph, with the least tyre noise filtering into the interior. The Mini may have the smoothest and quietest engine, but it’s by far the worst for wind and road noise. BEHIND THE WHEEL Driving position, visibility, build quality
As with bigger Peugeot models, the 208’s driving position is controversial. You’re supposed to view its digital instruments by looking over, rather than through, the steering wheel – something Peugeot has tried to make easier by shrinking the steering wheel to the size of a dinner plate. And if you happen to be long in the body, or you sit close to the steering wheel with the seat jacked up, you’ll probably think the whole arrangement is great. But just as many will find that the wheel completely blocks their view of the instruments and will have to resort to moving the wheel or seat to an unnatural position just so they know what speed they’re doing. We’d strongly advise taking a test drive before buying. The 208’s ‘3D’ instruments are also a case of style over substance, being trickier to read at a glance than their equivalents in the A1. The A1’s conventional driving position works for a greater range of shapes and sizes. While its seat doesn’t hold you in place quite as well around corners, the fact that it has adjustable lumbar support (available only as part of a £1400 leather upgrade on the 208) makes it comfier on longer journeys. The Mini is the only car here with leather seats as standard, plus there’s adjustable lumbar support to stop you from slouching. And although you get old-school analogue dials, they’re actually pretty easy to read. Our only minor complaint is that the pedals are offset to the right of the steering wheel, forcing you to sit at a slightly skewed angle. You can’t fault the Mini’s interior quality, though. It feels a cut above its rivals, with materials

1 Driving position is tough to fault, thanks to plenty of adjustment and a comfy, supportive seat
2 You get digital instruments as standard, but this full-colour Virtual Cockpit setup costs extra
INFOTAINMENT The optional 10.1in touchscreen (pictured) comes as part of the (£1695) Technology Pack. However, the standard 8.8in version is all you really need and still gets you Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring. Being a touchscreen, it’s inevitably more distracting to use than we’d like, but at least the screen responds promptly when you prod it. Sound quality is decent rather than exceptional.
3 There aren’t as many soft-touch materials in the A1 as you might expect in an Audi

MINI 5DR
The Mini’s standard infotainment system (pictured) isn’t all that great; we’d definitely recommend upgrading. The Navigation Plus Pack (£2000) gets you a classleading system that’s packed with technology and is really easy to use. But for considerably less cash (£900), the regular Navigation Pack brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smarphone mirroring, as well as a built-in and connected sat-nav.

PEUGEOT 208
Pay an extra £650 and you’ll get this 10.0in touchscreen with in-built TomTom navigation and live traffic updates for three years. Frankly, we’d save the money, because you can mirror any number of free navigation apps on your phone to the 208’s (admittedly quite small) standard 7.0in touchscreen. The fact that you need to use the screen to adjust the air-con is both annoying and distracting, though.

that look upmarket and feel the part when you prod them. The A1 feels equally well screwed together, but there are far fewer soft-touch materials, while areas you touch regularly, such as the door tops, feel less than premium. Perhaps surprisingly, the 208’s interior cuts the mustard in this company. Its dashboard feels squidgy, the leather on the steering wheel is suitably finegrained and there are fewer hard plastics than in the A1. That said, there are some fairly large interior panel gaps in places and the front centre armrest feels wobbly compared with the equivalents in the A1 and Mini as specified here.
These are small cars, but even by class standards they aren’t all that roomy in the back. If you regularly need to carry around more than one other lofty adult, you’d do well to consider a Polo or Seat Ibiza. The Mini has the most head room to allow six-footers to sit up straight, but its narrow rear seat area makes squeezing three adults in the back an almost comical experience. It’s also the hardest to get in and out of, due to its tiny rear door apertures. The A1 and 208 are better for those rare occasions when you need to carry four passengers, but head room is less plentiful; tall people will need to cower to fit. Adding the optional panoramic glass roof (£500) to the 208 drops the height of the ceiling even lower, but avoid that and the 208 is fractionally the most accommodating in the back. Its boot is the biggest, too, accepting five carry-on suitcases – the same as the A1 – but with more space left over. The Mini can hold only four cases, although the optional Comfort Pack added to our test car includes a heightadjustable boot floor, something you also get with the A1 but which isn’t available on the 208. BUYING AND OWNING Costs, equipment, reliability, safety and security
We’ve specified our contenders in such a way as to keep prices and standard kit broadly on a par, adding an optional Plus Pack to the A1 and the Comfort Pack we’ve just mentioned to the Mini to match the top-spec 208. That means all of our trio come with things like automatic air conditioning and rear parking sensors. However, the 208 is the only one to get front parking sensors whatcar.com

Up to 239 miles of electric range
It lends a helping hand
More power; more confidence
It’s a smartphone on wheels
A high-performance battery that boasts 55% more capacity means the 62kWh battery in the Nissan LEAF e+ delivers a range of up to 239 miles (WLTP combined)(1). That’s enough to get you from London to Leeds, or to cover a week and a half of commuting(2).
Advanced Nissan ProPILOT(3) driving aids help with braking, steering and accelerating to help keep you safe, on-track and in control when it really counts. Equally, Intelligent Around View Monitor and automated ProPILOT Park take the stress out of parking.
The Nissan LEAF e+ has 217PS with 340Nm of instantly available electric torque for confident acceleration. With a 0-62mph time 13% quicker than previous LEAF models, it’s now even simpler and safer to pass slow vehicles and offers a more enjoyable ride.
The new NissanConnect Services(4) app syncs navigation from your smartphone to your Nissan LEAF (and vice versa), with true Door-to-Door Navigation. You can also remotely pre-heat or pre-cool your LEAF while it’s recharging, so it’s the appropriate temperature for your trip without losing any range.

It’s fast to recharge
It makes financial sense
It re-energises your commute
You’re part of a growing family
The Nissan LEAF e+ recharges from 20% to 80% in around 90 minutes with a rapid 50kW CHAdeMO public charger – the perfect fit for an afternoon of shopping or a trip to the cinema. At home, it takes 11h30min to recharge from 0% to 100% on a 7kW wallbox – ideal for those who have low-cost overnight recharging.
While a lot of new electric cars have a premium price tag, the Nissan LEAF range starts at £26,345 (MRRP), including the special-edition N-TEC range, available from £32,795 (MRRP). Low-cost overnight charging keeps day-to-day running costs low, while new 0% BIK tax rules introduced in April 2020 make the LEAF great for company car drivers(5).
e-Pedal makes tackling traffic easier by letting you start, accelerate, decelerate and stop using only the accelerator pedal. e-Pedal also regenerates energy back into the Nissan LEAF’s battery.
Since its launch in 2010, over 450,000 drivers around the world have chosen the Nissan LEAF, making it the first all-electric car to hit this benchmark. The Nissan LEAF has also been sold over 33,000 times in the UK. So, why not join the gang?

as well, plus a reversing camera. Meanwhile, the Mini is the only one with heated front seats, but also the only one without an autodimming rear-view mirror and power-folding door mirrors. The 208 is predicted to depreciate the fastest, with the A1 holding onto its value the best. That largely explains why, if you’re planning to buy with cash, the A1 will cost you the least to own over a three-year period. The fact that the Mini costs the most to begin with, and is by far the thirstiest in real-world driving, makes it the priciest choice in the long term. If, on the other hand, you’re planning to sign up to a PCP finance deal, the 208 will cost you the least in monthly repayments. Put down a £2500 deposit on a three-year deal and you’ll pay £294 per month, compared with £304 for the A1 and £335 for the Mini. The 208 is also the cheapest to run as a company car, whereas the Mini will cost you the most. When it comes to safety, the Mini is the weakest performer. Euro NCAP didn’t rate it all that highly even when it was introduced way back in 2014, and the testing standards have got a lot more stringent since then. The fact that you don’t even get automatic emergency braking (AEB) as standard (it’s an £800 option) is a serious shortcoming. The 208 didn’t fare brilliantly in its safety appraisal late last year, either, although it does come with AEB and lane-keeping assistance. The A1 gets a similarly sophisticated AEB system that can recognise pedestrians and cyclists as well as cars, but it makes do with lane departure warning (which alerts you if you stray out of your lane, rather than actively steering you back into it). It scored higher marks than the 208 for keeping adult occupants safe in an accident, while the 208 was found to be fractionally better at protecting child occupants. The A1 and 208 were too new to appear in the 2019 What Car? Reliability Survey. However, Peugeot finished slightly higher up the manufacturer league table than Audi. Mini, as a brand, fared better than both, even if its hatchback came only mid-table in the small car class.

Audi A1 Sportback vs Mini 5dr vs Peugeot 208
SAYS One thing’s for sure: the Mini finishes last. It still has some real merits – namely the quality of its interior and the excellent infotainment systems you can add as optional extras – but with every year that passes, its uncomfortable ride, poky boot and poor safety provisions become harder to overlook. It’s also the costliest option no matter how you’re buying. And don’t be hoodwinked by the advertising campaigns; if you’re looking for something fun to drive, you’d actually be better off with the Audi A1. That car is a demonstrably better all-rounder with few real weaknesses, and its slow depreciation makes it the cheapest long-term option for those buying outright. The 208 just edges the win, though. It’s cheaper than the A1 if you’re signing up to a finance agreement or you’re a company car driver, comes better equipped and, at least in terms of the quality of the materials, has the more upmarket interior. Just make sure the driving position works for you before buying.

The regular A110 is currently our favourite sports car, but is this faster S version even better?
Porsche has raided the Cayman options list, with the aim of delivering greater thrills.
IF YOU GRIND your teeth in annoyance whenever you hear a footballer talk about giving 110%, the arrival of the new Alpine A110 S may well have your dentist on alert. After all, exceeding 100% isn’t possible, so how can the S be worth 10% more than the regular A110 when that’s already our Sports Car of the Year and therefore as close to perfect as such cars get? It’s not even as if Alpine has addressed the few flaws the A110
does have: the fact that it allows you to bring less luggage than a budget airline and comes with an infotainment system that makes a ZX Spectrum feel sophisticated. Instead, its engineers focused on changing the driving experience, which was already sensational. However, according to Alpine, the S’s firmer suspension and extra 39bhp weren’t necessarily to make it a better car, but one that appeals to a different buyer: someone who

enjoys track days or just wants something a little more focused. Something like the new Porsche 718 Cayman T, in fact. While the T uses the same 2.0-litre engine as the entry-level Cayman, it has active engine mounts to enhance stability, a 20mm lower ride height and torque vectoring to improve agility, and a limited-slip diff for better traction out of corners. DRIVING Performance, ride, handling, refinement
In addition to producing slightly more power than the Cayman, the A110 is 236kg lighter. That’s the equivalent of unloading a baby elephant, so it’s hardly surprising that the A110 accelerates faster; 0-60mph takes 4.7sec, compared with 5.4sec in the Cayman. It’s not just at traffic lights that the A110 has the advantage, either; put your foot down on the move and it will also pull away from its German rival. However, it’s
worth noting that if you specify your Cayman with the optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox instead of the six-speed manual that our car came with, the difference in performance shrinks. The manual has different strengths, most notably one of the sweetest shift actions in any car. And this is enhanced by the T’s stubby, shortened gearlever. As for the A110, it has a sevenspeed dual-clutch auto ’box as standard, with no manual available. But while some might bemoan this, there’s a lot to like; it’s as smooth as a conventional auto in its most relaxed setting, holds on to lower gears for longer if you switch to Sport mode, and defaults to manual mode (you pull paddles behind the steering wheel) to deliver properly quick shifts when it’s in its Track setting. As good as the A110 is in a straight line, though, it’s even better through corners. This S version grips a little harder than the regular A110 and leans less,

Like lesser A110s, the S comes with a 7.0in touchscreen incorporating a DAB radio and sat-nav. Unfortunately, the system is slow to respond and many of its icons are too small. To make matters worse, you can’t bypass Alpine’s own software by using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto; instead, you have to download a fiddly app if you want to control certain phone functions through your car. You do get a punchy Focal sound system as standard, though.

However, you can opt to have the 7.0in touchscreen from other Caymans included as a no-cost option. We would, because it’s much quicker than the A110’s system, with more user-friendly menus, while sat-nav, a DAB radio and Apple CarPlay are included.

yet it still feels playful, allowing you to adjust your line with the accelerator. The only slight disappointment is that Alpine has made the steering heavier than the regular car’s when you’re in Sport or Track, but in a way that robs you of a little feedback. This isn’t a problem in the Cayman; its steering is wonderfully precise, plus the car’s body movements are tightly controlled and there’s incredible grip. As hugely capable as the Cayman is, though, it just isn’t as much fun as its rival, feeling less eager to change direction initially and making you feel like you’re not really pushing it until you’re travelling at silly speeds.

Noise is another area where the A110 has the advantage, because there’s an appealing rasp to its engine note when you accelerate, followed by theatrical crackling from the exhaust as you lift off. By contrast, the Cayman produces a monotonous drone. It’s also the noisier cruiser, mainly because it suffers from a lot of road roar. On the other hand, the Cayman is surprisingly comfortable when its adaptive suspension is in its softest setting. And it’s great that there’s an Individual mode that lets you customise the car; for example, you can choose to have razor-sharp accelerator responses at the same time as the supple ride. This isn’t possible in the A110. Indeed, you can’t adjust its suspension at all. But while the new S model jostles you around more over scruffy roads than both the Cayman and the regular A110, it remains brilliant at dealing with speed bumps and big undulations. BEHIND THE WHEEL Driving position, visibility, build quality
The interior of the A110 looks pretty special at first glance, with the S getting a faux-suede roof lining and orange stitching to go with the bits of body-coloured metal trim which all A110s have. Start using the Renault-sourced switches, though, and they feel less substantial than the bespoke ones in the Cayman. Plus, the Cayman’s materials feel classier. You’ll have no trouble finding a driving position that works in the Cayman, either, thanks to plenty of adjustment, whereas the A110’s backrest is fixed, so the angle will either suit you or it won’t. And while the Cayman’s seat can be cranked up and down using a ratchet lever, changing the height of the A110’s requires a spanner; that’s likely to lead to arguments if you and your partner both drive the car and are different heights. At least the A110’s seat holds you tightly in place through bends – better than the Cayman’s, actually.
Visibility is another issue in the A110, because its more steeply angled windscreen pillars can obscure your view at junctions, and it has a tiny rear screen. However, you get front and rear parking sensors as standard, whereas Porsche charges £623. SPACE AND PRACTICALITY Front space, seating flexibility, boot
While these cars are strict twoseaters, both have enough head and leg room to keep 6ft-plus occupants happy. In every other respect, though, the Cayman is the more practical choice, not least because it has door bins and a glovebox – exotic features that are missing from the A110. True, there is some storage space beneath the A110’s centre console. But the solitary cupholder is so shallow that your drink will probably fall over the first time you turn the steering wheel, whereas the Cayman has two cupholders that can be adjusted to ensure your chosen beverage doesn’t end up in your lap. Because they’re mid-engined, both of these cars actually have two boots – one at each end – but the Cayman’s are much larger. BUYING AND OWNING Costs, equipment, safety
The A110 is priced £3215 higher than the Cayman. However, the tables are turned when you factor in all ownership costs over three years; the A110 is almost £6000 cheaper, thanks to superior resale values and fuel economy. Those resale values also help to make it cheaper on PCP finance: £665 per month, compared with £687 for the Cayman on a threeyear deal with an annual limit of 10,000 miles and a £5000 deposit. Finally, Alpine gives you more luxuries, including climate control, cruise control and leather upholstery. It’s just disappointing that neither car has automatic emergency braking, given how important this safety feature is.

By the standards of two-seat sports cars, the Cayman has always been very easy to live with, and this new T variant doesn’t sacrifice that. In fact, it could do with feeling a little more focused to help justify its £7k premium over the entry-level Cayman. The A110 demands more from you, but it also delivers more thrills, and that’s obviously significant with cars likes this. Add in the fact that it will cost you quite a bit less in the long run and it has to win the test. If it were our money, though, we’d go for the standard A110 rather than the S. It’s cheaper, looks almost identical and has sweeter steering and a more settled ride.

MY VOLKSWAGEN GOLF has gone and I’m feeling a little bereft. You see, although we get to drive a lot of cars in this profession, from the decidedly humdrum to the spine-tinglingly exotic, it’s rare to find one that’s such a competent all-rounder, so pleasant to ride in and so easy on the pocket that you begin to wonder how you ever lived without it. That, though, is exactly how I came to feel about this smart family hatchback.

miles on the clock and a £3000 saving on what it would have cost new. It left four months and 3000 trouble-free miles later with a negligible further drop in its value. Why was it so impressive? For starters, the driving position was first class and the interior simple, straightforward and neatly finished, with logically placed controls. Indeed, I prefer my Golf’s infotainment setup, with its combination of touchscreen and nice oldfashioned rotary dials for the air-con, to the new Mk8 Golf’s touch-only affair. Visibility was excellent, too, and all who travelled in it, with the exception of the very tallest rear seat passengers, were comfortable. The 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine was smooth and refined, albeit slightly asthmatic at low revs, and the six-speed manual gearbox was a delight to use. The car steered nicely, handled well and rode wonderfully on all but the most broken back roads. My Match edition was decently equipped, too, and the car I chose came with a healthy list of options, including heated front seats (which worked with a pleasing rapidity), a rear-view camera (for which I gave daily thanks) and keyless entry and start, which was
XCeed made a fine camera car, thanks to its settled ride
An average of 47.1mpg kept fuel stops to a minimum
‘The Golf dealt very competently with everything I could throw at it in daily use’ a boon beyond measure, because it dispensed with that manic fumbling for keys in various pockets as I approached the car at the end of a busy day. In short, the Golf had all I could need and most of what I would want. Top of the Golf’s list of desirable features, though, was its impressive fuel economy. The official average WLTP figure is 50.4mpg, and my overall 47.1mpg got tantalisingly close to this. I regularly saw 50mpg on the digital readout on long runs, and even on my daily commute – a journey that has blighted many a diesel-engined car’s economy hopes in the past – I saw figures in the low 40s. The Golf may not show off or shine brightly in any one particular area, then, but it dealt very competently with everything I could throw at it in daily use. For example, no other car I can recall has had such a deft and almost unnoticeable operation of its hill start assist function, which holds the car stationary until the moment you let out the clutch to get it rolling, or needed such a light touch on the door handle to initiate that keyless unlocking of the door, or had such an unobtrusive engine stop-start system. It’s equally rare to find a car whose weights for its primary controls – steering, accelerator, brake pedal, clutch and gearshift – and its minor switches and dials were all in such perfect harmony, subconsciously making for an enormous sense of well-being in the driver. So, now it’s gone and I’m sad, but I shall move on. In the meantime, if you desire a used family car for a good price, I know one I can recommend most highly.

THERE’S NOTHING LIKE a really good run to better get to know a car, and the Kia XCeed has been putting in some lengthy shifts recently. One of these journeys in particular really brought to light its spread of talents, when it was called upon to assist on a big photo shoot for our sister magazine, Classic & Sports Car. A very early start and a long motorway slog is never a great combination, but the XCeed is a remarkably relaxing companion for such trips. The seats are excellent – comfortable yet firm and supportive – and for me the driving position is easy to set in a way that avoids any long-distance aches and pains. Refinement isn’t a strong suit; there’s a fair bit of engine noise at low speeds, although this fades into the background on the motorway, when it’s overtaken by road roar. But the sophisticated rear suspension helps to give a comfy ride, no doubt aided by the small (16in) wheels with relatively tall tyre sidewalls that come as standard with entry-level 2 trim. All of which meant that I arrived at the Staffordshire test track location feeling pretty fresh. During the day, the XCeed demonstrated another of its qualities: it’s just so very useful. When shuttling guests to a nearby café for lunch, it proved spacious enough for four adults to be comfy, and its boot – which is larger than the regular Ceed hatchback’s – was ideal for throwing in the accumulated detritus of a photo shoot, as well as providing a smooth, stable base for a photographer to hang out of for those dramatic action shots. Once we’d wrapped for the day, I couldn’t resist taking the XCeed for a few laps of Curborough Sprint Course to see how it would fare. Now, it’s clear that this is no performance car, and it shouldn’t be judged as such, but Kia
does say that it wants the XCeed to entertain its drivers, and indeed it does. The three-cylinder petrol engine loves to be revved and sounds suitably sporty when extended, while the slick gearbox and lively steering contribute to an overall sense of agility, even if traction is limited when powering out of corners. That latter point, and the fact that there’s very little in the way of feedback through the steering, ultimately limit the XCeed’s appeal as a driver’s car, but it’s energetic enough to encourage you to enjoy a spirited drive on a favourite road. At the end of the day, I found myself feeling a new respect for the XCeed. It’s a flexible and practical car that also looks pretty sharp – and those longer drives also mean that fuel economy is nudging up to a respectable 38.4mpg average.
XCeed might have the edge on fuel economy, at least…

EVEN IN A car built for hooning, as the Ford Focus ST is, my preference would usually be to leave it set in its default Normal driving mode most of the time, because it gives a more comfortable ride than the more aggressive Sport and Track modes – although ‘comfortable’ is a relative term here. However, so far I’m quite underwhelmed by the way the car behaves in that mode as you build up speed out of town, mainly due to the steering’s strong self-centring tendency. The effect is that the car always feels as though it’s trying to straighten itself up in corners, rather than darting eagerly towards apexes. Switch to Sport mode, though, and the ST is transformed. Although the steering weights up even more, the front end is far more eager to arrow into corners – quite aggressively, in fact – thanks to some torque vectoring trickery across the front axle. That sort of behaviour is much more what I was expecting of a car like this.
Button marked ‘S’ takes you straight into Sport mode
82 April 2020
whatcar.com
The whole car feels more alert and on its toes, too, with sharper engine response, slicker gearshifts (thanks to the excellent rev-matching feature that comes into play in Sport and Track modes) and a louder warble from the engine when you press the accelerator. You still have to put up with the steering tensing up and tugging on the wheel a little under hard acceleration, especially on the way out of corners, but this ST is nowhere near as unruly as some previous front-wheeldrive fast Fords, in part thanks to the tractionenhancing benefits of having an electronic limited-slip differential. The ST feels so much more agile and fun to drive in Sport mode that I’ve been making an effort to select it more often, as I’m sure most owners will do. Happily, there’s a shortcut button on the steering wheel that takes the car directly into this mode, rather than you having to scroll through all four modes via the other selector button on the same side of the wheel. The inevitable downside is that the ride – which is firm and fairly jiggly even in Normal mode – becomes even more inclined to jostle you around in your seat over bumps. If I could wish for one thing for the ST, it would be a ‘bumpy road’ button for the suspension, allowing me to leave the main driving mode in Sport, with all the benefits that brings, but soften off the suspension to give a properly comfortable ride when required. It’s something that the likes of Alfa Romeo and Ferrari offer on many of their models, and it works brilliantly. Given that the ST has adaptive suspension anyway, how hard could it be to include such a switch? As it stands, the ST’s ride isn’t as compliant in Normal mode as that of the rival Honda Civic Type R in its Comfort setting. It’s acceptable, but I do find it tiresome at times, as do any passengers, especially those sitting in the rear seats.
Can a couple of USB ports really make the difference between buying or not buying a car? I know I could be accused of wonky priorities, but I think it can. Even in my relatively lowly spec, the Tarraco has two USBs up front and – more importantly, in my view – one in the back. As a result, the kids are happy, because they can plug a device in and play to their hearts’ content. Or at least the extent of their mother’s patience. I know leaving them to stare at a screen isn’t the greatest bit of parenting, but on a long motorway trip, it’s more stimulating for them than staring out of the window. Given how much we judge cars on how comfy or quiet they are, I think it’s fair to laud these humble ports for making life better. JH
Lexus ES 300h Takumi
Mileage 11,574 List price £45,665 Target Price £44,435 Price as tested £45,650 Test economy 49.9mpg A good luxury saloon needs to be quiet, and my Takumi-spec ES, with 18in alloy wheels, indeed lets hardly any wind or road noise disturb its occupants – something I was grateful for on a recent mercy mission to adopt two kittens and their young mum. Leaving the car in Comfort mode helped prevent shudders from all but the most brutal of potholes from penetrating inside, too. That meant the kittens calmed down and had a nap on the way to their new home. Another feature that’s proving useful for getting the ES onto my drive – and avoiding any pets that have come outside to greet me – is the rear-view camera. This displays both live footage of the space I’m backing into and a bird’s-eye view of the car and its surroundings on the infotainment screen. CE

Jaguar XE
2.0 D180 SE R-Dynamic AWD auto Handling remains an XE strong point; interior looks much smarter than before
FIRST REPORT
Refreshed executive saloon is out to prove that it can now compete with rivals on all fronts Steve Huntingford Steve.Huntingford@haymarket.com
WHEN A CAR has been on sale for a few years, it’s normal for its maker to freshen things up by tweaking its exterior design and enhancing equipment; think of it as the automotive equivalent of getting a haircut or buying a new pair of glasses. But, to my eyes at least, the recent changes to the Jaguar XE make a bigger difference than most of these mid-life updates. For starters, slimmer, LED headlights and reshaped air intakes in the front bumper give it a much more aggressive appearance than before, as well as one that’s more distinct from the looks of Jaguar’s other saloons. Meanwhile, the rear lights have been moved on by about half a century, because they now take their inspiration from the I-Pace electric car rather than the 1960s E-Type. The infotainment system is another feature that’s been upgraded, with a 10.0in touchscreen replacing the 8.0in setup – complete with Fisher Price-plastic shortcut buttons – that used to come as standard. In fact, quality in general feels much improved. Don’t get me wrong; the XE was never a bad car. I ran one for a year when it first came out and loved the way it managed to combine a
forgiving ride with taut handling. It’s just that you had to make allowances for it in quite a few areas – something those standout driving manners made easy enough to do at the time but which I’d find harder today, given how much stronger the competition is. For the next few months, then, I’ll be running an XE to see if it continues to impress once the novelty of its new looks and flashier interior have worn off. Specifically, I’ve gone for a 178bhp 2.0-litre diesel (the biggest seller in the UK) in mid-level SE trim and with the R-Dynamic pack, which brings 18in wheels, leather seats with contrast stitching, sports suspension and an even sportier appearance. I’ve also added the £350 Exterior Black Pack, which replaces the usual chrome detailing with gloss black, and the £1470 Technology Pack, which incorporates some particularly desirable pieces of kit – namely, a head-up display, digital instruments, wireless phone charging and a second touchscreen. This extra screen replaces most of the conventional air-con controls and definitely ups the wow factor. But unlike the similar setup in the rival Audi A4, it doesn’t compromise ease of use, because its icons are all big and easy to hit, and they’re complemented by two physical dials that change function depending on the menu selected. One thing that obviously hasn’t changed about the XE is the amount of space you get; it’s a lot tighter in the back than the A4 or the BMW 3 Series. Then again, my wife can still sit behind me (and alongside our two-year-old daughter) without her knees touching my seat. And
while the boot is far from class-leading, our daughter’s buggy goes in with space to spare. I’m also pleased to say that the XE is as good to drive as I remember, darting into bends, staying flat and composed through all manner of twists and turns and taking the sting out of potholes even on its firmed-up suspension. The only thing that lets the side down is the engine, which can sound rattly, particularly when cold. Is this problem bad enough to make me regret running an XE? Absolutely not. But as the miles pile on, it will be interesting to see if more niggles follow or if Jaguar’s most affordable model is now as good at the mundane stuff as the fun.

Like the rival Audi A6 Allroad, the Cross Country is a car that offers all the practicality of a regular big estate while adding a smidge of off-road ability. Comfort is one of the Cross Country’s biggest strengths; I can say without question that its seats are the most cosseting I’ve ever sat in. In addition to providing support in all the right places, the driver’s seat can be set nice and low, keeping my knackered knees happy. What’s more, the steering wheel offers loads of reach adjustment, so I never once emerged from the Cross Country with even a trace of an ache. The fact that the car’s ride is mostly flat and forgiving adds to its relaxed character. However, it should be noted that my car was fitted with self-levelling rear air suspension, which isn’t especially cheap at £950 but is well worth adding for the extra control it brings.

The optional panoramic glass sunroof (part of the Xenium Pack) came in handy, because it allowed me to shoot from up high when using the Cross Country as a camera car. But those of you who aren’t photographers will probably be more interested to hear that the roof lets in lots of fresh air when open, while keeping passengers sheltered from buffeting. As a bonus, the glass extends back far enough that my young son was able to look out of the roof and find plenty to distract him, while the standard side window blinds were handy for keeping him shaded from the sun. We recently pitted this very V90 Cross Country against an A6 Allroad, and (spoiler alert) the result went in the Audi’s favour. However, I’d still urge you to try the Volvo as well before buying, because the margins were so tight that you’ll probably prefer whichever one more closely matches your sense of style. The A6 Allroad felt incredibly well built, as Audis generally do. But the V90 Cross Country is filled with equally plush materials and its ambience feels altogether warmer, especially if you follow my example and go for the Blond leather and matching rooflining. I’ll admit, I was initially a little worried that the light-coloured seats would struggle to cope with the rigours of daily life. But there’s no hint of staining from denim jeans and the interior looks as good now as it did on the first day. The engine I opted for was the D5 diesel with the Polestar Optimisation upgrade, because you get 45bhp more than you do in the entrylevel D4 and official fuel economy is only 1mpg worse. I averaged 37mpg, but that figure was
climbing noticeably by the end of my time with the car. With more miles under its belt, I reckon you’d see 40mpg or more. The only thing I found annoying about the Cross Country was the positioning of the door mirrors; they’re sited higher than they are on the regular V90, apparently to improve visibility when towing or on off-road jaunts. Unfortunately, they get in the way at junctions and roundabouts, forcing you to crane your neck to see around them. That aside, this is a car I’d thoroughly recommend. It’s even surprisingly capable off road, thanks to its arsenal of electronic tricks. It’s also packed with details that make life easier, including a three-pin socket that allowed me to charge my camera batteries or laptop on the move. Whether I was dashing across the country to a shoot or ferrying the family around, it suited my needs perfectly.

I’m hoping that doesn’t make me the dumb one. But whose opinion would you most value regarding the ride quality of a car? Really? Wow. Okay, fine, I’ll tell you what Ben thinks about my Skoda Scala. When I went to pick him up from the station recently, it took only a few minutes for him to start complimenting his Czech counterparts’ work.“The ride is smooth as butter and bumps are hardly noticeable,” he said.“It’s hands down the comfiest and most relaxing low-cost car I’ve been in.” I’d better not tell you who he works for, then. For what it’s worth, I agree with Ben. Ride and refinement are probably the areas that have sold me most on the Scala; it strikes a remarkably fine balance between suppleness and control. What’s more, the calibration
of the manual gearbox is so well judged that driving without lurching is a subconscious task – the polar opposite of its more expensive Citroën C4 Cactus rival, which I ran last year. The clutch pedal feels natural and linear, with a clearly defined biting point; without this, you often have to resort to over-revving the engine for fear of stalling, despite it being rather uncouth and not conducive to good fuel economy. Best of all, though, is how quiet each journey is.“Tyre noise is almost non-existent,” Ben said. Indeed, the Scala generated a relatively impressive reading of 69.0dB at 70mph in a recent test. My previous car, a Dacia Duster, really used to do my head in during my two-hour morning commute; it recorded a reading of 69.8dB. These differences seem small, but given that decibels are a logarithmic rather than linear scale, a difference of just 6dB can mean it’s twice as loud. To put it in simpler terms, Ben has to shout from the rear seat of his dad’s 2007 Skoda Octavia to be heard on the motorway. Progress has clearly been made.
Consensus is that the Scala is outstanding in terms of ride comfort and quietness

USED CARS Skoda Superb BUYING GUIDE Remarkably roomy, practical and comfortable, Skoda’s executive car is better value for money than ever when it’s used In production 2016-present Price from £8000 Our favourite 1.5 TSI 150 SE Technology Mark Pearson Mark.Pearson@haymarket.com
FOR SOME, AN EXECUTIVE car is all about an impressive premium badge, but there are those for whom space and value for money are more important factors, and in both of those departments, nothing can hold a candle to the Skoda Superb. It’s certainly huge inside – in the front seats, the back seats and the boot. And the good news is that the Superb delivers in most other areas as well. It sits on a stretched version of the Volkswagen Golf’s underpinnings and comes with a broad range of excellent engines, with a choice of six-speed manual and DSG automatic gearboxes. Initially, smooth 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engines producing 123bhp or 148bhp propped up the range, but in 2018 they were replaced by a more efficient 148bhp 1.5-litre unit. There are also a couple of versions of the 2.0-litre petrol (with 217bhp or 276bhp) and, from 2019 onwards, a 1.4-litre plug-in hybrid.

Even entry-level S models are well equipped, with air-con, Bluetooth, a DAB radio and, initially, a 6.5in touchscreen. SE adds 17in alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors and adaptive cruise, while businessorientated SE Technology adds sat-nav, front parking sensors and an electric driver’s seat with memory function. SE L Executive and Laurin & Klement models add plush leather seats and even more gadgets. Sportline and Sportline Plus trims joined the range later, offering larger alloys and sporty carbonfibre interior and exterior styling details. The Superb was facelifted last year, with new bumpers, a different front grille and the addition of LED headlights, while inside, the standard touchscreen grew to 8.0in, with a 9.2in screen and a digital instrument panel becoming available on higher trims.

WHAT’S IT LIKE?
All of the engines are gutsy enough to give the Superb a reasonable turn of speed, while fuel economy is impressive for such a big, capacious car. The Superb rides and handles well, too, if not with quite the panache of some premium rivals. That said, it’s a refined motorway cruiser, especially in petrol form. Inside, the driving position is good; the dashboard and major instruments and controls are all laid out in a clear and logical way, and the quality of the materials used is high. As mentioned, there’s plenty of interior space front and rear. The boot is long and deep and holds significantly more than those of the Superb’s main rivals, and it’s easily accessed via a hatchback tailgate.

FOR BUYERS IN search of a used luxury car, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class seems to have become our default recommendation. In fact, it has won our Used Luxury Car of the Year award for the past two years. In the process, it has beaten such esteemed competition as the BMW 5 Series and Porsche Panamera in the process, thanks to its opulent and spacious interior, composed handling and general air of indomitability – not to mention the fact that it represents exceptional value for money. Buying an S-Class second-hand is a truly tempting prospect, because it means you can put your bottom where only millionaires usually sit for less than half the price of a new one. However, its reign is under threat like never before. The latest Audi A8 is packed with technology designed to allow it to beat its
Mercedes rival at its own game. And if you buy one of these at a similar age, the A8 represents just as much of a bargain as the S-Class. Here, we’re pitching a 3.0-litre diesel A8 in extended-wheelbase guise against our favourite 3.0-litre diesel long-wheelbase S-Class to find out which one makes the best used luxury limo. Can the four rings better the three-pointed star? DRIVING
Both cars’ engines pump out 282bhp and produce the same maximum pulling power at identical points in the rev range. It’s hardly surprising, then, that they accelerate similarly briskly, although Audi’s standard quattro fourwheel drive helped the A8 to get off the mark more effectively on our damp test track.

There’s a bigger difference in engine noise; the A8’s diesel sounds more gravelly at idle and makes itself heard more when accelerating, although it’s still far from fractious. Both cars are wonderfully hushed at motorway speeds, although the A8 is best at isolating its occupants from the outside world. The S-Class is the more enjoyable car to drive, though. Its steering is more naturally weighted and the willingness with which it turns in to corners and controls body movements is impressive for such a large car. Although the

A8 has better traction on wet surfaces, its steering is numb and its big body wallows through bends on its standard air suspension. However, the A8’s softer setup gives it a crucial edge when it comes to comfort. Despite riding on optional 20in alloy wheels (like the S-Class), the A8 smooths out ruts and potholes better around town and remains more settled on the motorway. It simply glides along any stretch of road in a way the S-Class can’t match. AUDI A8
Finding an ideal driving position in the two cars is a cinch. Both get electric front seats as standard, including four-way electrically adjustable lumbar support, so comfort is almost guaranteed. However, Audi’s decision to use two large touchscreens (10.1in and 8.6in) for all of the infotainment and climate control functions isn’t so impressive, because operating them on the move can be rather distracting and awkward, even though they offer haptic feedback to help you gauge when you’ve pressed an icon. They’re actually fiddlier to use than the previous A8’s setup, with its physical buttons and knobs and a dial for controlling its infotainment. The S-Class has user-friendly physical buttons for the climate control, as well as a 12.3in infotainment screen that’s accessed via a rotary controller. The system isn’t the most logical or responsive of its type (the best still remains BMW’s one in the likes of the
7 Series), but it’s certainly easier to find and select what you need while driving than it is in the A8. As with the A8, the S-Class comes with built-in sat-nav, Bluetooth, wireless phone charging and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring. These cars’ vast length and width can make them feel a bit cumbersome to drive in town, but at least they have decent-sized side windows and thin windscreen pillars to give good visibility at roundabouts and T-junctions. It’s a good thing that both of our contenders come with front and rear parking sensors, as well as crisp and clear reversing cameras to help judge tight parking spaces. Unsurprisingly, the interior quality on show from both manufacturers is some of the finest you’ll find anywhere. There are swathes of leather covering both cars’ dashboards and doors, plus slick, well-damped switches and metal trim highlights. However, the A8 just has the edge, with its plastics and gloss black trims feeling a tad more solidly bolted together. SPACE AND PRACTICALITY

BEHIND THE WHEEL
whatcar.com
Room in the front of both cars is pleasingly generous. Both provide deep door bins, a decent-sized cubby beneath the central armrest and a couple of cupholders. The S-Class also gets a useful cubby at the base of its dashboard – a space that is taken up by the lower of the two touchscreens in the A8. But it’s really these cars’ rear quarters that need to provide seriously luxurious space. Make no mistake: Audi and Mercedes have ensured that space in the back is fit for giants, but ultimately the A8 has more rear leg and head room, even if its rear seat area is very slightly narrower. Official boot capacity figures show there are just five litres between the two cars in their standard guises. However, our S-Class test car was fitted with an Individual Rear Seat Package (a £5000 option from new and worth BEST seeking out on a used example) that, while HANDLING enabling electric movement of the rear seats, as well as heating and cooling, reduces boot space by 30 litres. As a result, we managed to fit eight carry-on suitcases in the A8 versus seven in the S-Class – although it’s likely that the S-Class would be able to swallow an extra case in standard form. However, the A8’s rear seatbacks

This much space and quality requires a big budget, and both of these cars would have set you back more than £70,000 new. Bought at a couple of years old, as here, though, the savings are huge. You’ll save nearly £38,000 on the price of an A8, for starters,
and more than £40,000 on the S-Class. The A8 will actually cost you a little more to buy now, due to its better residual values, while the S-Class is pricier to service, although that will be offset to a certain extent by the fact that it’ll use a bit less fuel. While the A8 didn’t feature in the most recent What Car? Reliability Survey, the S-Class did – and it didn’t fare too well, coming second from bottom in the luxury car class,
with some owners reporting issues with non-engine electrical problems. Mercedes as a brand ranked a disappointing 24th out of 31 manufacturers, while Audi was 20th. Both cars have standard equipment lists befitting the luxury class, but the fact that the A8 includes heated rear seats and adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assistance as standard, while the S-Class doesn’t, scores it extra points.

The S-Class wasn’t going down without a fight; it’s still as good a used luxury car as it has ever been, thanks to its strong yet smooth diesel engine, more agile handling and better infotainment system. It very much deserves its five-star rating. It was always going to take something extraordinary to beat the S-Class, but the A8 is just that. Not only is it even sturdier inside, quieter, more cosseting and better equipped, but it’s also a solid used buy, with stronger residual values than the S-Class. That seals the deal for us.

Kia Picanto
Our pick 1.25 3 List price £13,500 Target Price £12,834 MPG 49.6 CO2 128g/km For Decent standard kit, handles well, good driving position and a long warranty. Against Lots of engine, wind and road noise at speed, plus an unsettled ride in town. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Hyundai i10 THE i10 WINS our value proposition because, essentially, it makes you think you’re driving something more expensive. Some larger, pricier cars can’t match its calm ride and quiet cruising manners, and rear seat space is impressive for a car of this size; it’ll seat four 6ft-tall adults in relative comfort. The i10 can seem expensive as a cash buy, but strong residual values make monthly PCP finance highly competitive.

BE ST BUY
Volkswagen Polo THE POLO HAS been the best small car around for three years now. It leads the class in just about every area, with superb interior quality, good space inside and the sort of ride you’d expect from an executive car. Its specification is far from stingy in our preferred SE spec, while the 1.0-litre turbo engine is punchy from low revs yet remarkably economical. To cap it all, pricing is sensible and resale values are strong.
Our pick 1.0 TSI 95 SE List price £16,980 Target Price £15,810 MPG 50.2 CO2 127g/km For Smart interior, good refinement, tempting as a company car and has a supple ride. Against Auto wipers and cruise control cost extra, not as much fun as a Ford Fiesta. WHAT CAR? SAYS

BE ST BUY
Skoda Scala DESPITE ITS KEEN price, the Scala excels in areas where many of its rivals are complacent, particularly interior space and comfort, with amazing rear seat room and a vast boot. It handles in a tidy manner and its ride, on standard suspension, is among the most cosseting in this class. The interior looks a bit cheap in places, but overall the Scala is a remarkably complete car for the money.
Our pick 1.0 TSI 115 SE List price £18,930 Target Price £16,525 MPG 51.4 CO2 125g/km For Spacious rear seats and a big boot; comfortable ride; cheap to buy and run. Against Interior feels a little cheap; not as good to drive as a Ford Focus. WHAT CAR? SAYS

Ford Puma THE PUMA IS a joy to drive; it’s super-nimble for a small SUV, while the steering gives you a real sense of connection with the front wheels. These are things you’ll appreciate no matter where you’re driving. Although rear seat space is only so-so, the Puma is also surprisingly practical, thanks to a big boot with a heightadjustable floor. It’s also well equipped, strong on safety and decent on quality.

Range Rover Evoque WITH A DESIGN that stays faithful to the original, but with flourishes taken from other glamorous Range Rovers such as the Velar, the Evoque looks better than ever. So does the interior, which is a match for anything else in the class. On the road, the Evoque provides a good mix of abilities, delivering a quiet, comfortable ride along with assured handling.

Our pick 40 TFSI Sport List price £35,060 Target Price £31,390 MPG 42.8 CO2 150g/km For High-end interior; handles well; it’s more practical than you might expect. Against Steering could be more involving; avoid the optional firmer suspension. WHAT CAR? SAYS
BE ST BUY
Audi TT THE TT HAS dominated this class for years, and this latest version is no different. For starters, it’s beautifully put together and thoroughly contemporary inside. The TT is also quick and great to drive, as well as relatively practical, thanks to an easy-to-access boot, even if its rear seats are cramped. When you consider how well priced it is and how well it’ll hold its value, the TT is an absolute bargain.
Our pick 45 TFSI Sport List price £33,870 Target Price £31,152 MPG 39.8 CO2 161g/km For Fabulous interior design and quality; crisp handling; easy to live with. Against The rear seats are seriously cramped, and you’ll want to add a few options. WHAT CAR? SAYS

Audi A5 Sportback
Our pick 40 TFSI Sport List price £35,060 Target Price £31,561 MPG 42.2 CO2 152g/km For Effortless pace, a practical boot and a classy interior. Against Offset pedals slightly spoil the driving position. WHAT CAR? SAYS

Our pick V8 List price £149,770 Target Price £149,770 MPG 26.3 CO2 230g/km (NEDC) For Lighter than the DB11 V12, resulting in sharper handling and a sportier drive. Against Rear room and boot space are tight compared with rivals. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupé
Our pick S560 Grand Edition List price £124,975 Target Price £105,609 MPG 27.2 CO2 235g/km For Performance and handling are better than you would imagine for such a big car. Against The view out is a little restricted, while the running costs are high. WHAT CAR? SAYS

Mazda MX-5
Our pick 1.5 Skyactiv-G 132 SE-L List price £23,795 Target Price £23,442 MPG 44.8 CO2 142g/km For Great to drive, with a wonderful chassis, a slick gearbox and just enough power. Against It doesn’t have the classiest interior, nor much space for people or luggage. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Toyota GT86
Our pick GT86 List price £27,830 Target Price £26,026 MPG 33.2 CO2 191g/km For Light weight and classic sports car layout make the GT86 fun. It gets decent kit, too. Against The engine is gutless and noisy; the interior feels cheap and its design is dated. WHAT CAR? SAYS

Porsche 718 Cayman
Our pick 2.0 List price £45,700 Target Price £45,700 MPG 32.8 CO2 186g/km (NEDC) For Balletic handling, sublime steering and gearshift, as well as strong pace. Against Standard equipment is stingy and the engine sounds dull. WHAT CAR? SAYS
BE ST BUY
Alpine A110 THE A110 IS one of the most entertaining sports cars you can buy. By focusing on engagement over outright pace, it involves its driver at sensible speeds – and just gets better the more you push it. Despite its relatively small engine, its low weight ensures that performance won’t disappoint, while at the same time it feels even more nimble and composed than a Porsche 718 Cayman.
Our pick Pure List price £49,300 Target Price £49,300 MPG 44.8 CO2 144g/km (NEDC) For Its grin-inducing handling is unmatched at this price, and it’s surprisingly cheap to run. Against Limited luggage space and an average infotainment setup. WHAT CAR? SAYS
BMW M2
Our pick Competition List price £51,425 Target Price £50,207 MPG 28.5 CO2 226g/km For Has seriously impressive acceleration and good handling, with a playful side. Against Sharp though its handling is, the Cayman’s is sharper; offset driving position. WHAT CAR? SAYS

whatcar.com/new-car-deals
McLaren 570S
Our pick Coupé List price £150,870 Target Price £150,870 MPG 23.1 CO2 249g/km (NEDC) For Easy to drive and gets better the faster you go; has fantastic handling. Against There’s no need to spend this much to get a great sports car. WHAT CAR? SAYS
McLaren 720S
Our pick Coupé List price £216,870 Target Price £216,870 MPG 23.2 CO2 249g/km (NEDC) For Staggeringly fast with class-leading handling, yet it has a comfortable ride. Against The touchscreen’s location is a little distracting; it’s incredibly expensive. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Performance cars LESS THAN £60,000
BE ST BUY
Mercedes-AMG A-Class Saloon
Our pick A35 4Matic Executive List price £38,615 Target Price £36,471 MPG 36.7 CO2 173g/km For Incredible performance, plush interior, and sublime handling. Against Shame the engine doesn’t sound more tuneful; ride could be more compliant. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Mercedes-AMG C-Class Coupé
Our pick C43 4Matic List price £53,455 Target Price £50,886 MPG 29.4 CO2 218g/km For Smooth, powerful V6 engine, responsive nine-speed gearbox and masses of grip. Against Road and wind noise at speed; not the most entertaining handling. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Kia Stinger
Our pick 3.3 T-GDi GT S List price £40,575 Target Price £40,575 MPG 27.7 CO2 233g/km For Nicely balanced handling, with strong pace from purposeful-sounding V6 engine. Against Tight in the back for tall adults; not quite as classy inside as its German rivals. WHAT CAR? SAYS
£60,000-£80,000
CAR OF THE YEAR 2020
Performance car
Mercedes-AMG C-Class
Our pick C63 S List price £76,868 Target Price £69,170 MPG 25.9 CO2 247g/km For Awesome fun to drive, even more potent than the standard C63 and sounds epic, yet just as easy to drive as any C-Class. Against Pricey to buy and run. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio THE QUADRIFOGLIO VERSION of Alfa’s Giulia has been our favourite performance car for three years in a row, and with very good reason. A 503bhp twin-turbo V6 engine ensures that it’s almost as fast as much pricier rivals, while it’s hugely entertaining to drive, thanks to ultrasharp steering and sweet handling. The Giulia can easily be used for family or business duties, too, making it the perfect performance car.
BE ST BUY
Our pick 2.9 V6 Bi-Turbo 510 List price £64,900 Target Price £61,439 MPG 27.2 CO2 206g/km (NEDC) For Quick and hugely entertaining to drive, with a great engine and wonderful handling. Against Can’t match the material quality or infotainment systems of its rivals. WHAT CAR? SAYS

BE ST BUY
Mercedes-AMG E-Class Estate
Our pick E63 S 4Matic+ Premium Plus List price £100,050 Target Price £89,704 MPG 23.3 CO2 208g/km For It’s the very best of both worlds: amazingly fast and supremely practical. Against Costly to buy and run and infotainment isn’t quite as slick as BMW’s. WHAT CAR? SAYS
BMW M5
Our pick Competition List price £98,100 Target Price £98,100 MPG 25.7 CO2 251g/km For Four-wheel drive helps you use all of the M5’s prodigious power with no drama. Against There are too many settings to fiddle with; the AMG E63 S is a bit more exciting. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Porsche Panamera
Our pick Turbo List price £119,788 Target Price £119,788 MPG 23.0 CO2 238g/km (NEDC) For Comfortable, luxurious and superb to drive, with 542bhp from the Turbo model. Against Expensive to buy and not quite as enjoyable to drive as its rivals. WHAT CAR? SAYS

TRUE MPG
What Car?’s True MPG figures show the fuel True economy you can MPG really expect. The test is done in a laboratory to ensure repeatability within 1% but is based on a real-world route that takes in urban, rural and motorway driving. It’s tightly controlled: climate control is set to 21deg C and cars due to be tested are stored overnight at 23deg C so that each starts with the same engine temperature.
True MPG figures reflect what’s achievable if you drive gently and stick to speed limits but don’t resort to unrealistically slow acceleration or special ‘hypermiling’ techniques.
REAL RANGE
What Car?’s Real Range test shows how far an electric car Real can really drive on a Range single charge. The car is driven at our test centre until its battery is flat, then we fully charge it (measuring the energy required to do so) and soak it overnight to 18deg C. Then, with the lights and air conditioning on, two people inside and the outside air between 10 and 15deg C, we drive our 19.4-mile route, which simulates a mix of urban, rural and motorway driving. It’s driven twice for cars that require more than 60kWh to charge and three times for those that require more than 100kWh.
VERDICT
Our road test reviews are the standard by which the car industry judges new cars.

PERFORMANCE FIGURES
The quoted power, torque, top speed and 0-62mph figures are official manufacturer numbers.
Quoted MPG figures are maximum combined values derived from the official WLTP tests. The official range figures quoted for electric cars are also based on WLTP tests.

VEHICLE EXCISE DUTY
Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), or road tax, is calculated on a scale according to CO2 output for the first year and operates on a flat rate thereafter. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids get a £10 discount on both the first-year rate and the flat rate. Electric cars pay no VED, but all cars costing more than £40,000 (list price, including options, and regardless of dealers’ discounts) pay an extra £320 tax annually for five years from the second year.
