NEW RANGEROVER
SPE IALISS
THE latest batch of Euro NCAP safety test results are in – and they make interesting reading for anyone who picked up on our recent five-star review of the Dacia Jogger. The novel seven-seater has been awarded just a single star, with testers basing their results on the related Sandero Stepway, but picking up on the Jogger’s lack of seatbelt sensors in the third row, and punishing the new model for its relative shortage of safety sensors. As you can read on page 20 of this issue, Euro NCAP is celebrating a quarter century of pushing for gains in safety. Standards have improved immeasurably over that time, and Euro NCAP – represented in the UK by Thatcham – deserves immense praise for its efforts. The Jogger verdict is significant, though, because it highlights one area where Euro NCAP might need to dig just a little bit deeper. Fact is, the Jogger is such a value-driven creation that a lot of its buyers won’t be comparing it with a rival new car at all. The most obvious alternative to it will be a second-hand sevenseater costing roughly the same amount. We reflected this scenario in our recent twin test of theJogger,whenwepitcheditagainsta2015KiaSorento – a car that was awarded five stars, and slightly better percentagescoresforadultandchildoccupantprotection, when it was originally tested by Euro NCAP a full eight years ago. These results have officially expired, though – and it’s currently impossible to compare them with a single-star rating based on the latest 2022 standards. The push for safety shouldn’t end; we all want to be as secure as possible. But it’d be really useful if some sort of equivalence rating were available, allowing anyone weighing up a new car against an old one to get a steer on which is actually safer. Euro NCAP has done the right thing in constantly updating its test – but it also needs to put all of its results in context to avoid confusing the millions of people who buy cars that aren’t brand new.

Avarvarii
ONE of Audi’s SUV stalwarts is due to be replaced next year, for a final time before the brand’s European sales go fully electric in 2030. It’s the new Q5 – Audi’s rivalto the BMWX3 and MercedesGLE.The mid-size SUV will enter its third generation in 2023, and it’s already been spied deep into its development programme. While the larger Q7’s introduction in 2006 fired the starting pistol on what has become the expansive and arguably niche-filled Audi SUV line-up we have today, the Q5 remains the bedrock of the brand’s success in the SUV market. Globally, there isn’t a single Audi nameplate that sells in higher volumes, with nearly 300,000 deliveries worldwide in 2021 making it not just the German manufacturer’s most popular Q-badged model, but also its biggest seller outright. It’s difficult to overstate the importance of this model, then. This is not a vehicle designed with one particular market in mind. It has to be popular in Europe, China, North America – virtually anywhere in the world that the brand operates. Perhaps that would explain why current spy shots point to an evolutionary design language for the Q5, rather than an all-out clean-sheet rethink. Our pictures of development prototypes reveal a car that’s still based around a large octagonal grille flanked by slim headlights, but its nose

appears taller and more squared off, for a tougher look. Stronger shoulders will be complemented by a rear end that features a full-width LED lighting bar instead of the current model’s split tail-lights. The next Q5 doesn’t look too different in size from the current-generation car, with a similar wheelbase plus front and rear overhangs. Our exclusive images preview the regular version of the Q5, but a coupé-shaped Sportback model would seem a likely bet, too, given that Audi introduced this body shape for the current-generation Q5 only last year. Sportback styles appear to be exempt from a reduction in complexity in the brand’s combustion-engined car portfolio, as announced in 2019. Inside, and in contrast to the evolutionary exterior, a next-generation cabin layout with brand-new infotainment and switchgear is feasible. Audi has never been a manufacturer that has stood still from generation to generation when it comes to its cabin architectures. The brand has already electrified the Q5 nameplate with the arrival of the MEBbased Q5 e-tron in China, but this model is unlikely to come to Europe. In fact, conforming to Audi’s electrification strategy in Europe, there’ll be no nextgeneration Q5 EV. Instead, the new car will remain on a combustion-engined platform, with an evolution of the brand’s current MLB architecture employed for the next model. However, we can expect substantial upgrades for the platform, because it will host one final generation of combustion-engined models for Europe, described to Auto Express by technical boss Oliver Hoffman as “the best” Audi has ever launched. At the time, Hoffman was outlining the technical basis of the next-generation A4 to us – a car also due in 2023 on the updated MLB architecture. Fundamental to the platform’s new offering will be an

● Final concept in ‘Sphere’ trio ● Designed for maximum space
WHILE Audi is readying its new Q5 SUV, it has also shown its vision of the future with this, the Urbansphere concept. The car completes the brand’s trio of ‘sphere’ concept models, after the Skysphere opentop sports car and Grandsphere luxury GT that previews the company’s nextgeneration A8. The Urbansphere shares elements of those models’ styling, too, with a fully blanked-off ‘singleframe’ grille flanked by a pair of slim headlights that suggest how Audis of the future could look. The MPV-like Urbansphere has been designed for use in megacities. It embraces
the concept of interior space – and at 5.51 metres long and 2.01 metres wide, there’s plenty of it. Counterhinged doors and no B-pillars enhance this feeling of roominess. In the rear there’s a pair of seats that recline by up to 60 degrees, while legrests extend from the chair bases for extra comfort. The pair of back seats can swivel inboard to face each other in a more social set-up, while the headrests can also be manoeuvred to provide more privacy if needed, as per the set-up in a businessclass pod aboard an airliner.

seatbacks to cater for rear passengers’ independent entertainment needs. However, if the two occupants want to watch the same thing or take part in a video conference, a large screen folds down from the headlining. In the front, digital read-outs and screens are projected on to the Urbansphere’s wooden trim inlays. Audi’s MMI touchlessresponse system also features on the car’s doors, consisting of a rotary control to flick through different menus. Users can operate this physically if the front seats are in the upright setting, while eye-tracking and

gesture recognition can be used to achieve the same result if the seats are reclined. All this is made possible thanks to the Level 4 autonomous driving capability. At the touch of a button the Urbansphere’s steering wheel will retract into the dash. The concept is based on Audi’s PPE platform, and is powered by a battery with around 120kWh of energy that delivers a projected 466-mile range. With 270kW charging, a five-to-80 per cent boost takes fewer than 25 minutes; 186 miles of range can be added in 10 minutes. The battery feeds a pair of electric motors delivering a total of 396bhp and 690Nm of torque, although Audi has not yet outlined any performance information.

AudiQ5 updated version of the Volkswagen Group’s well known EA888 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology and revised turbo systems. Mild-hybrid tech is not new on the Q5; it was introduced as part of the car’s facelift in 2020. However, the powerful SQ5 diesel aside, which uses a 48-volt system, regular MHEV versions of the current Q5 feature a less advanced 12-volt set-up. The 48-volt tech would expand the car’s engine-off coasting and electric-boost capabilities from fleeting moments to being a key part of the driving experience, improving performance and fuel economy. Diesel power remains popular in the Q5, and an updated 2.0-litre TDI option – also with a new development of the 48-volt tech offered on the current model – will almost certainly arrive as part of the offering. We can expect the SQ5 to stick around for another generation, too, also embracing 48-volt tech but allied to a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6, likely to develop more than 350bhp. Electrification will play a starring role in the next-generation car, too, but beyond the expanded mild-hybrid offering, plug-in hybrid tech is as far as the Q5 will extend. The current 50 TFSI e quattro already weighs in with a 17.9kWh battery, enabling up to 37 miles of electric running. It works with a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine and an electric-motor system for a totalpower output of 295bhp and CO2 from 35g/km. Again, we

Q6 e-tron is expected to arrive in 2024, positioned and priced similarly, but using the PPE platform for EVs. It’ll share this technical basis with the upcoming A6 e-tron saloon, as well as Porsche’s next-generation Macan. Although Audi has already talked a lot about the Q6 e-tron, the Q5 – notyettouched upon by brand execs – will come first. We understand that a reveal next year with sales also to start in 2023 is targeted, but most likely towards the end of next year. As such, the Q5 will not make its debut for around 18 months. Prices should increase slightly over the current car’s c.£46,000 starting price given the new Q5’s extra tech.

12 20April2022
MERCEDES has revealed the new EQSSUV. The German manufacturer’s newcomer is a battery-powered alternative to its existing, Range Rover-rivalling GLS, as well as a taller-riding, seven-seat stablemate for the EQS saloon. It will go on sale later this year, probably starting from around £110,000 for the rearwheel-drive EQS 450+. A pair of four-wheeldrive versions have also been confirmed, as has a luxuriously appointed Maybach model, which will be revealed at a later date. No high-performance AMG versions of the EQSSUV have yet been announced. As with the EQS saloon, the SUV makes use of the brand’s EVA2 all-electric platform, and shares its motors, battery systems and on-board tech with the limousine EV. All versions of the EQSSUV boast a 107.8kWh (usable) battery, and it’s the entry-level

● Brand’s large electric SUV will be priced from around £110,000 ● Initial line-up promises up to 536bhp and top range of 410 miles 450+ that makes the most of this large capacity. With an electric motor rated at 355bhp and 568Nm, Mercedes claims a maximum range of 410 miles. An all-wheeldrive 4MATIC version of the 450+ is also offered, with the same 355bhp output from a pair of electric motors – one on the front axle, the other on the rear – but with torque stepping up to 800Nm. Range takes a slight hit, at 380 miles on a full charge. No performance figures have been confirmed. The most potent version from launch is the EQS 580+ 4MATIC. It has a 536bhp/ 858Nm all-wheel-drive system, but as with the 450+ no performance figures have been revealed. A 0-62mph time of around 4.5 secondsispossible,however,whilemaximum range stands at a claimed 381 miles. All versions feature 200kW rapidcharging capability, meaning a 10-80

per cent recharge takes 31 minutes. The car comes equipped as standard with 11kW AC charging for three-phase units, too. All versions of the EQSSUV have Airmatic air suspension with adaptive dampers. Its settings can be toggled via the drivemode selector as on other models using the system. However, on four-wheel-drive EQSSUV models there’s an extra mode alongside the Eco, Sport, Comfort and Individual settings: Offroad, which can raise the ride height by up to 25mm. Four-wheel steering is fitted as standard, enabling the rear wheels to turn by as much as 4.5 degrees. This gives greater agility and a tighter turning circle at low speeds, and improves stability in high speed corners. One of several over-the-air upgrades that can be bought via the infotainment system enables up to 10 degrees of movement on
the rear axle. Other technology that can be installed post-purchase includes trailer assist and augmented-reality navigation. At 3,210mm, the SUV’s wheelbase is the same as the EQS saloon’s, but the body is slightly shorter, at 5,125mm. Still, the SUV is around 200mm taller, and the traditional two-boxSUV profile allows for a third row of seats, giving the EQS passenger-carrying flexibility to rival the Tesla Model X. Seven seats are optional, however, and the EQS SUV is a five-seat SUV as standard. The cabin features Mercedes’ Hyperscreen as an option, as found in the EQS saloon. It uses three large screens to transform the dashboard’s entire surface area into a touch-sensitive display. Otherwise, a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and a 12.8-inch portrait touchscreen are standard. As part of the car’s luxurious approach, rear-seat infotainment is offered as a feature of the Entertainment Plus pack, providing two 11.6-inch monitors.

Electric cars and pacemak Lack of research around the potential risks of high-powered chargers leaves many heart patients in the dark Bob Murray
WITH sales soaring, the latest batteryelectric cars are increasingly proving the right answer for thousands of UK motorists. But there is one group of people for whom questions over the electric car have never gone away. They are the hundreds of thousands of people around the country fitted with a heart pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). All electrical devices – from kitchen induction hobs to electric cars – emit an electromagnetic field (EMF) which, if strong enough, can affect a pacemaker or ICD, with the potential of causing a life-threatening device malfunction. The NHS doesn’t publish specific advice about electric cars, but does say that anyone with a pacemaker or ICD should “keep at least 60cm (2ft) from an induction hob”. Does it follow that these people should steer completely clear of electric cars? With all new cars having to be battery-electric (or electrified) by 2030, that is going to be increasingly difficult, as Auto Express reader Phillip Evans found. When the ex-electrical engineer set about buying his first electric car, the lack of solid information led him to one conclusion: an electric car was not for him. Mr Evans was looking to buy a Hyundai, which is one company whose handbooks acknowledge that electromagnetic waves generated by a charger “can seriously impact” on implanted heart devices. “There is no warning not to drive the car,” a spokesperson told us, adding that the
OFFICIAL
model is “fully compliant” with all the latest regulations in this regard. A statement from VW went further: “Electric vehicles pose no danger to people with pacemakers or implanted defibrillators, as the electric field generated during operation is very well shielded.” But there is one caveat: when the vehicle is “on”, people with pacemakers should not open the bonnet. The official line from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders is that owners
“Car companies seem ignorant on the subject, going along with the consensus that it’s ‘probably’ okay to drive an EV”
should follow the advice in the manual and “if concerned, seek guidance from their cardiologist or medical device manufacturer”. However, it appears car companies in general remain ignorant on the subject, going along with the consensus that it is “probably” okay to drive or passenger inside an electric car, but that care should be taken when plugging in, particularly if using one of the latest high-power DC “fast” chargers. Hyundai makes the point that it is not responsible for its cars being charged up at third-party charging points. Such “probabilities” are based on studies, but none of them very recent (see
New TVR to hit the road in 2023
FOLLOWING a problematic period for TVR, not least due to Covid, the British maker has committed to deliver the first examples of its new Griffith sports car in late 2023. While talking to our sister title evo about the early Griffith prototype from 2017, boss Les Edgar said, “If we hadn’t taken a brave step to leapfrog a few stages you would normally go through before you produce a road-going car that you can drive around a track and take up and down the road, had we not done that, we would be in a lot more of a state in terms of timing.” TVR said that it would gain access to its factory in Wales – following a delay due to ownership issues – in the first quarter of this year. There’s no news yet on whether this has happened, but the company is still confident of deliveries beginning next year.

panel, right). Until new studies using the latest generation of electric cars, with their multiple motors, massive batteries and high-voltage inverters, reveal more, the advice for those with implanted heart devices is that an electric car is “probably” okay – but don’t open the bonnet, and get someone else to plug it in. At a time when EV registrations are exploding in the UK – up by 154 per cent this February – when the cars are getting ever more powerfuland an ageing population means more people than ever are having cardiac devices implanted, the question must be: is that advice good enough?

Special-edition Fiat 500 hits right notes
Tests in 2014/15 included Volkswagen e-Up! IN 2014/15, 108 people with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) were exposed to electromagnetic fields in the four most popular EVs of the day: the Volkswagen e-Up!, Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model S and BMW i3. The volunteers rode in the cars and then plugged them in. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich found no adverse effects and the study concluded that “driving and charging of electric cars is likely safe for patients with CIEDs”. In short, they found the electromagnetic field was too small to have a measurable effect. But it’s worth bearing in mind that a VW e-Up! ofsevenyearsago could take a DCcharge ofup to 50kW.VW’slatest, the ID.Buzz, can take a fastDC charge of more than three times that (170kW). Commenting on the 2015 survey at the time, Dr Richard Sutton of Imperial College, London, told Reuters: “It seems to be reassuring, but when we consider that millions of electric cars will be sold, it is reasonable to think that larger numbers of patients should be studied.” It seems that this research is yet to be done, especially with higher-powered chargers. Until it is, growing numbers of people with a heart pacemaker won’thave the reassurance theyseek.

Electric Honda NSX shapes up HondasportsEVs
● Two EV sports cars planned ● Could use solid-state batteries
John McIlroy
John_McIlroy@autovia.co.uk @johnmcilroy
HONDA has started taking the first steps towards full electrification – and now the company has announced that it is working on a pair of sports EVs, including a spiritual successor to the current NSX supercar. The Japanese firm’s existing flagship – the second generation of NSX – has less than a year left to run before it goes out of production. It was one of the first midengined supercars to embrace hybrid power, and Honda’s President, Toshihiro
Mibe, revealed plans for a successor during a video presentation that outlined huge investment in a wider range of electric car projects, including a new joint venture with General Motors on EVs for the US market. Speaking in front of a shadowy teaser of two low-slung vehicles, Mibe said, “We are thinking about the launch of two sports models to the global [market] – a speciality and a flagship, models that embody Honda’s universal sporting mindset and distinct characteristics.” The teasersshow two differentbodystyles, with one model – presumably the NSX’s

successor – maintaining a mid-engined supercar profile, and the other appearing to have a shape more akin to that of a GT. Mibe did not outline any details on powertrains or battery capacities – and he was careful to not predict a date when the cars may appear. Despite his use of the word ‘global’, it’s also far from certain that

either of the cars will make it to the UK; Honda is likely to focus on Chinese and American-market customers first. Given the relatively high positioning of both sports models, it seems likely that Honda could use them to introduce solidstate batteries, whose much-touted benefits include more compact packaging and the potential for even faster recharge speeds. The global announcement follows a European-focused presentation in which Honda announced plans to bring a new EV based on the e-Ny1 Prototype to market in 2023 as a rival for the Vauxhall Mokka-e.

Speeding app allows smartphone users to become DIY traffic police OFFICIAL Footage can be shared with the police, but cannot legally be used to penalise motorists Tristan Shale-Hester
tristan_shale-hester@autovia.co.uk @tristan_shale
A NEW smartphone app allows users to record passing cars with their phone cameras and determine whether drivers are breaking the speed limit. Speedcam Anywhere can be used by pedestrians to take a video of a vehicle suspected of speeding. The software will read the car’s number plate and use DVLA data to identify its make and model, then determine the length between its front and rear axles. The app then compares this data with the video images to calculate the speed at which the car was driving. The footage can then be saved by the user and a report can be generated, including the calculated speed, which can then be shared with a police force or local council. But the app’s information cannot currently be used to penalise drivers in the UK, because the Home Office hasn’t approved it as a certified speed-detection device. Google has allowed Speedcam Anywhere to be published on its Play Store, where it is available for download in the UK for Android devices. But Apple has yet to approve it for distribution on its App Store for iOS devices,
such as iPhones and iPads. The app is also being prepared for launch in the US. Whatever your thoughts about ‘citizen policing’, there are increasing provisions for members of the public to report driving they consider dangerous, such as the Nextbase National Dash Cam Safety Portal. Currently used by 38 of the UK’s 45 police forces, the portal lets drivers upload dash-cam footage of their fellow motorists’ driving habits. A total of 48,610 clips have now been uploaded to the portal – up by 23.1 per cent in the last four months – with the greatest number coming from the West Midlands, followed by Northumbria and West Mercia. Official data acquired by Auto Express back in January revealed a 16 per cent fall in road traffic police officer numbers since 2015, with forces becoming increasingly reliant on public submissions. Speedcam Anywhere was developed by a team of artificial-intelligence scientists, with backgrounds from UK universities and Silicon Valley in the US. Their identities are being kept secret, however, because they claim to have received abusive E-mails from members of the public who disagree with the purpose of the app.
DOES IT WORK? We’ve tested it... WE downloaded the Speedcam Anywhere app and tried it out for ourselves. It offers two modes: regular and pro. The former estimates a passing car’s approximate speed, whereas the latter reads the vehicle’s number plate and offers a more detailed result. A regular check costs one credit and a pro check is five credits. You get 30 credits for free when you first download Speedcam Anywhere; after that, you can buy an additional 1,000 credits for £15. We performed two runs in a car at an indicated 30mph and used the app’s pro mode to record it. The readout was 36.9mph on the first run; on the second, it was 42.9mph. These results were worryingly inaccurate, both drastically overestimating the speed of the car. After recording the video, we noticed there was a delay of around 30 seconds to a minute before the results came in. But this may be because we didn’t have great phone signal at the test location.

Crash-test body Euro NCAP celebrates 25 years of helping improve car safety standards
Bob Murray
A ROUND yellow-and-black logo and a simple starratings system – and our cars were changed for ever. Euro NCAP, the crash-test organisation, is 25 years old this year. But with thousands of lives saved and our cars now more able than ever to survive a crash – and more importantly, avoid it in the first place – do we still need Euro NCAP? That question is being answered this week via a big expansion of Euro NCAP’s work in the field of whole-life greenhouse-gas emissions for vehicles, reflecting the desire to offer consumers information in an area that’s becoming arguably even more pressing than safety. But that doesn’t

mean Euro NCAP is stepping away from its primary safety role, in spite of the advance of electronic driver aids that are taking an ever-more important position. “There will always be a need for an independent consumer rating to push the manufacturers,” says Matthew Avery who, as chief research strategy officer with Thatcham Research, is the driving force behind Euro NCAP testing in the UK. “Cars are all much safer now, and that is absolutely because of Euro NCAP – but there are still improvements we can make,” he continues. “Every few years we raise the hurdle and make it harder and harder for new models to achieve a five-star rating. What it takes to gain those
five stars is far in advance of legislative requirements – and that will always be the case.” Euro NCAP has been ‘raising the hurdle’ ever since 1997, when it crashed its first car. The challenge then was to get the manufacturers to fit features such as curtain airbags and seatbelt reminders. Today the challenge is to ensure that the assisted and autonomous-driving technologies, being introduced ostensibly to keep us safer, don’t backfire and harm us instead – especially at the point where legislation allows the cars to drive themselves. “Not all automated-driving systems will be made equal,” says Avery, who is also a Euro NCAP board member and part

CRASH TEST Methods have been honed over 25 years – but the dummy has always been crucial
What’sinvolved intoday’st
SINCE a shake-up in 2020, main test is the MPDB (mo progressive deformable barrier). As with the other tests, it is far ahead of anything required by law. The car is shot at 31mph into a deformable barrier, which represents a mid-si family car that is also trave 31mph. A 50 per cent-offset, not head-on, crash, it’s the severest test yet of crumple-zone efficacy. Apart from their graphics and testing kit, the cars used are straight from the showroom. Two adult dummies sit in the front seats and child dummies are in the rear. The side-impact test involves a deformable barrier travelling at 37mph smashing into a stationary car at right angles. Meanwhile, the pole test sees the car being propelled at 20mph against a narrow pole, simulating hitting a tree. And the far-side test assesses how occupants fare when sitting on the opposite side of the car to the impact. For the whiplash test only a seat is used, mounted to a sled and accelerated rapidly to 15mph to assess the head restraint’s qualities in a rear-end collision. Yet more investigations are made into car’s ability to protect pedestrians and cyclists, and increasingly how good a vehicle is for preventing a collision in the first place thanks to hi-tech driver aids.
AEB has been a huge crash reducer. It is now fitted as standard on a Clio or Fiesta. I am sure they’ve done that because of Euro NCAP MATTHEW AVERY Chief research strategy officer Thatcham Research
of a group developing a new consumer-rating scheme for automated driving features, such as automatic lanekeeping. Said to be a world first, this is expected to be the next big step forward for Euro NCAP’s testing regime.
How it began
Getting to this point has been a long and often bumpy road for Euro NCAP. The New Car Assessment Program had its roots in the US in 1979, but was quickly championed in the UK by the late Max Mosley, president of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA). At that time, as now, the auto makers had to build cars that complied with all the
20April2022 21
INSIDESTORY 25yearsofEuroNCAP
ON THE FACE OF IT Matthew Avery explains how the front of a car can be made more pedestrian-friendly regulatory safety standards, with some such as Volvo doing more than others. But there was no independent validation. So a fledgling Euro NCAP acquired the latest popular models, attached them to a high-speed sled and catapulted them into a sturdy stationary object. High-speed cameras recorded every deformed structure, bent panel, anklebreaking pedal box and ineffective airbag in extreme detail, all to be subjected to later analysis. The testing was far tougher than anything required for normal Type Approval, and for good reason: 25 years ago there were huge differences in cars’ passive safety – how they behaved when they crashed. Euro NCAP’s mission was to highlight the discrepancies in the most transparent and public-friendly way it could. The first model tested in 1997 was a Volkswagen Polo, which was awarded three stars for adult safety. The second car tested was a Rover 100 – and that didn’t go so well. The diminutive Rover (really a rehashed Metro) was famously given only one star – the first of an infamous few vehicles over the years to fall foul of the testing and be publicly shamed. Euro NCAP has never wavered from shouting its results from the rooftops – bad, as well as good. The substandard Rover was killed off soon after. Unsurprisingly the auto makers reacted against Euro NCAP. The consensus at the time was that it was sufficient for cars to comply with the regulatory safety standards, and some critics even maintained that it was impossible to make a vehicle that scored maximum stars. Volvo proved that notion wrong when its S40 saloon gained four stars (the maximum at the time), and then in 2001 the Renault Laguna II became the first car to score the newly introduced five stars – in large part because it featured curtain airbags. That same year the equally new Mercedes C-Class scored a mere two stars, and for many the established order of things was turned upside down. Thanks to growing public awareness, suddenly safety sold cars – proving wrong what many in the industry had long believed. The car-buying public had a new metric in helping them decide which model to choose. What began as a measure of injury potential to driver and front passenger now embraces rear passengers and children as well, in simulated crashes from both the front and the side, as well as the protection a car affords pedestrians and cyclists. Today more vehicles are tested, more often and in more ways than ever before, backed by assessment of burgeoning ‘safety-assist’ features. And things are about to get a whole lot tougher.
The truth behind the stars
Since 2020 and the introduction of new, more realworld crash tests involving a moving barrier for the first time – the combined impact speed is now 62mph – larger cars such as SUVs have been assessed for the damage they could cause to smaller cars. Yes, your big and strong

Whoareyoucallingabigdummy? THERE’S been a silent and long-suffering partner in all NCAP tests for the past 25 years – the crashtest dummy. As the tests have got tougher, so have the ‘victims’. The latest anthropometrically correct representation of a car occupant is called Thor, and each one costs £600,000 to build. Constructed from plastics, rubber and metal with precision

Thor is not only a man; there’s a Mrs Thor and also junior Thors aged six and 10. The information the Thor family provides is vital for understanding how effective a car’s deformation zones are in protecting occupants.
SUV might just be too big and strong. ‘Compatibility’ testing is now an important component of Euro NCAP. Matthew Avery explains: “A Ford Fiesta might have five stars and a Range Rover might have the same rating – but you will only get a five-star crash performance if they hit something the same size. If the Fiesta hits the Range Rover in the real world, it won’t look as good for the Ford. It’s an unequal fight. That’s physics.” Avery explains that making big and heavy cars such as the now ubiquitous SUVs “softer and less aggressive” would equal up the fight – and SUVs that don’t comply could potentially lose one of their stars. From belt reminders and pretensioners, extra airbags and Isofix mountings to innovative systems such asautonomouslane-keeping,EuroNCAPhaspushed the latest ideas and tech for all cars, not just premium ones. Often this presages legislative changes. Over the years, tech the organisation has championed has found its way into the regulations – such as ESP (electronic stability programme) and ESC (electronic stability control) – while others like AEB (automatic emergency braking) have been adopted by the mass market after Euro NCAP proved their efficacy. “AEB has proven to be a huge crash reducer,” says Avery. “Five years ago you would not have readily been able to buy

Whatothershaveto sayaboutEuroNCAP RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention

It has now become the norm that drivers expect their vehicle to be safe for them and other road users. “Although vehicle standards are much improved and road fatalities have reduced significantly in the past 25 years, we are now seeing a plateau in the reduction in casualties, meaning there is still room for improvement.” PACTS (Parliamentary Advisory Council forTransport Safety) “Euro NCAP has raised vehicle-safety standards considerably and keeps pushing the boundaries. PACTS is pleased that it is now focusing on the safety of other road users, and not just those in the vehicle. We would like to see NCAP integrated with environmental standards, because vehicles need to be both safe and environmentally friendly.”
Sowhat’snext forcrashtesting?
A ‘25 years revamp’ is due to be announced in September when the testing becomes more robust, meaning it will be tougher for cars to get five stars. Compatibility testing (where large models hit small cars) could see big SUVs downgraded. There will be more focus on assisted and autonomous driving features, including the likely adoption of a new Government-funded ratings system for technologies such as automatic lanekeeping being developed by autonomous driving specialist Zenzic along with Thatcham Research. Meanwhile, a new dummy replicating a small female, with sophisticated instruments to better measure the changing pattern of injuries (less head and chest, more pelvic) is due to join the Thor family. All part of a new safety roadmap to 2030, the September changes will also see trucks included for the first time. By the autumn, organisations such as Thatcham and RoSPA are hoping that the UK will have signed up to the EU’s new General Safety Regulations (GSR) which, as Matthew Avery says, “basically put into law what Euro NCAP has been doing for the past 20 years”. He sees future advances as being centred on more active safety, with cognitive systems that would automatically steer the car away from any head-on collisions, along with more drivermonitoring systems that he says will be “the next seatbelt – and a real game-changer”.
a (mass-market) car with it, but now it is fitted as standard on a Renault Clio or a Fiesta. I am absolutely sure they have done that because of Euro NCAP.” Such is the power of a five-star safety rating in the marketplace today, new cars are designed to pass the tests from day one. And the vast majority do, with flying colours. Many company fleets, including the Government’s own, now have rules outlawing buying anything without five stars. Five-star shoppers have plenty of choice; out of 35 tests last year, 24 of them resulted in the top overall rating.
From hero to zero
There are still poor results, however. In 2021 the electric Renault Zoe became only the third car ever (after long-sincereplaced Fiat Pandas and Puntos) to be awarded zero stars – ironic given Renault’s early success and the fact that the previous model of Zoe received five stars in a 2013 test. Exactly how could a car go from hero to zero so quickly? The answer lies in how the testing regime is regularly updated and expanded (which is one reason why comparing results from different eras can be misleading). Euro NCAP’s point is that enhancing the testing in this way provides an ongoing incentive for the automotive manufacturers to improve. Explaining the Zoe’s fall from

grace, a Renault spokesperson told us last year: “Since 2013 the Euro NCAP protocol has undergone five changes. With the same equipment, a model can lose up to two stars in each protocol change.” Whether this made the Zoe less safe – and Renault says it doesn’t – or just less marketable is a moot point. The manufacturer was an early supporter of Euro NCAP, but over the years other brands have held that such testing makes cars more complicated and expensive than they would otherwise be. “The manufacturers do push back and say
OUCH! Crumple zones are put through their paces, showing where improvements can be implemented it is costing them money,” explains Avery. “Their view appears to be ‘we have to sell cars; we can’t put very expensive technology into every model’. It’s like saying that a Mercedes A-Class can’t have what a Mercedes S-Class has. But eventually it will...” As for criticism from drivers that features such as assisted lane-keeping are more annoying than helpful, Avery’s message is: “Drivers might say they don’t need these things, but statistics say, sorry, you do. We still have 1,800 fatalities on UK roads every year.”

Dash layout is familiar, with updated car featuring a new two-spoke steering wheel from Octavia
1.0-litre TSI we’re driving here is the entrylevel unit, and while there are versions that climb to 187bhp (but still no sporty vRS model, unlike with its Kodiaq big brother), this 108bhp engine should be adequate for most people’s needs. It’s a quiet unit – even under hard acceleration – and is fairly smooth for a three-cylinder, too. The six-speed manual gearbox it’s paired with is light and fairly precise, and it contributes to a car that generally feels very easy to drive. Of course, with a claimed 0-62mph time of 11.2 seconds you’d hardly call it fast, but the tiny turbocharger helps deliver a torque output of 200Nm. This is enough to keep the Karoq making good mid-speed progress at sensible revs so as not to disrupt the 1.0 TSI unit’s relatively strong refinement. Around town there’s enough flexibility to stop you constantly changing gears, so those on a tight budget won’t be shortchanged by this entry-level unit. In fact, with the way fuel costs are going up, you might be quids in; Skoda claims efficiency of up to 48.7mpg (with CO2 emissions of 132g/km), and we achieved relatively close to this first figure on test. This indicates that the Karoq should be relatively affordable to run. While top-spec models are now available with adaptive dampers and progressive
steering, the Skoda’s ride-and-handling balance remains much the same as it was before. In other words, it strikes a good compromise between safe and secure cornering, and a smoothness over bumps that is towards the top of its class. The ride is particularly soft on testing Tarmac, but it remains well controlled across harsh surfaces, while knocks from the suspension are well isolated. Wind and road noise is well suppressed, too, although the Skoda is slightly behind the Tucson in this area. The Karoq is a little more agile than the Hyundai, however – even though that’s not exactly a deal-breaker for most buyers – but overall it’s a very relaxing place in which to cover long distances. Equipment levels have been given a boost thanks to the introduction of kit such as an electrically adjustable driver’s seat and three-zone climate control. SE Drive trim doesn’t get those features – nor a digital dash – but it has more than enough standard kit, including 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system (which is similar to its predecessor, because the tech hasn’t moved on all that much), cruise control plus front and rear parking sensors.

Verdict expect from Skoda, including an ice-scraper, and an umbrella under the passenger seat. Place a £3,000 deposit on a three-year PCP, and based on a representative finance example from Skoda you’ll pay £362 per month. That undercuts the entry-level Vauxhall Grandland – a car that does give a little more power from its 1.2-litre turbo engine – by £67 per month.

DESPITESkoda’s updates to its Karoq SUV, the Peugeot 3008 still offers more design flair both inside and out, which it mixes with practicality, a smart interior and punchy powertrains. However, it’s also pricier than the Karoq, with the range starting from just over £29,000. You do get a good level of standard equipment, though.
IF you already own a Karoq don’t worry, because the changes for this round of updates to Skoda’s family SUV are minor and we wouldn’t feel compelled to chop in the previous version for this new model in a hurry. However, the brand’s latest entry into the competitive family-crossover sector continuesto rank among the very best when it comes to practicality, comfort and value for money. And this 1.0 TSI model adds the potential for low running costs into the mix, which will be important for many prospective buyers at the moment.

STYLE sells, which is why Volkswagen has concentrated its efforts onSUVs in recentyears. Itsellsno fewer than five models now the Taigo has joined the line-up, with this new car offering an even more stylefocused approach in the compactSUV class. The Taigo shares its mechanical make-up with the T-Cross crossover, so is based on the MQB A0 architecture that underpins cars such as the Polo supermini. We’re testing it in what will be big-selling 1.0 TSI 110 guise, with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and in high-spec Style trim. Priced from £28,255 in this specification, it’s the slightly less sporty route compared with the R-Line model that’s available alongside it; both sit above the entry-level Life trim level and come well equipped. Volkswagen’s 1.0-litre three-cylinder TSI turbocharged petrol engine pushes out 108bhp and 200Nm of torque, which in a car weighing 1,260kg is more than adequate for the type of driving most Taigo owners will undertake. It’s helped by the DSG gearbox, which shifts swiftly and smoothly enough; with an extra ratio compared with the manual, the intermediate gears feel shorter, too, helping performance without hurting refinement. The 0-62mph sprint takes 10.9 seconds, which doesn’t sound all that fast, but
28 20April2022
there’s enough oomph for pretty much every situation. Rarely will you find the Taigo feeling all that breathless or lacking in grunt during everyday driving. Under heavy acceleration the engine note is noticeable. But otherwise, in normal conditions cruising around relatively gently, the noise melts away into the background as a dull and distant thrum. This is where the Taigo is best, cruising at a leisurely pace. While the steering is the right weight for this car but surprisingly light, it means sometimes in quicker corners there’s a little more body roll than you might expect, but it’s more than competent enough and this focus on comfort and ride quality is welcome. Only occasionally does it seem really unsettled. Otherwise, it doesn’t feel too flustered and filters out the worst of what the road surface can test the suspension with. Sometimes you feel the wheels bobbling around beneath you, but rarely does this really unsettled the body. Inside, the Taigo is familiar in the front at least, sharing its design with the T-Cross. That means softer plastics where they are more visible, but some harder materials lower down. A 10.25-inch digital dash is
standard and is joined by a snappycentral touchscreen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Wireless phone charging is also standard, along with built-in sat-nav, dual-zone climate control, auto highbeam matrix LED headlights, and a host of driver-assistance tech, including adaptive cruise control with lane assist, traffic-sign recognition and autonomous emergency braking. This is why we think you don’t need anything more than Style trim, unless you’re desperate for the mildly sportier-looking R-Line model, but you’ll pay an extra £900 for the privilege. In the rear the sloping roofline doesn’t adversely affect headroom, while there’s enough legroom for most. The 440-litre boot is adequate, too, offering enough space for an SUV of this size. The large
“The 0-62mph sprint takes 10.9 seconds,but that’s enough forprettymuch everysituation”
tailgate reveals a flat load floor to the rear bumper, so it’s also easy to load up. And of course, returning to the point of style, by manipulating the T-Cross’s roofline, lowering and elongating the car’s profile for the Taigo, VW has created a coupé-SUV look that not so long ago you’d have had to pay at least twice as much as this for. The fullwidth light bar across the tailgate and black styling add-ons for the mirrors create some contrast and a sleek look. Despite this more premium appearance, the 1.0 TSI unit is quite frugal, so while the Taigo might appear rather more exclusive than the T-Cross, it shouldn’t cost much more to run, with claimed figures of 47.9mpg and 134g/km of CO2 emissions. We got fairly close to Volkswagen’s official numbers on our test, too, without any attempt at particularly eco-conscious driving. The Taigo broadens buyers’ choices when it comes to a small SUV, which is a good thing when combined with a solid dynamic experience, strong tech and enough space. Consumers have never had it so good.

BentleyBentaygaV8S Richard Ingram
Richard_Ingram@autovia.co.uk @rsp_ingram
ONCE a contradiction in terms, the idea of a ‘driver-focused SUV’ isn’t the paradox it used to be. On the contrary, some of the most entertaining and exploitable cars we’ve driven over the past 12 months have features a raised ride height and chunky body cladding. Bentley is no stranger to sharp ‘softroaders’. The Bentayga has been around since 2016 and is widely considered to be one of the finest-handling cars in its class. The lighter V8 model has always struck a chord with those who prefer to drive, rather than be driven – and now Bentley has further enhanced its SUV for this even sportier S. The Bentayga V8 S boasts a set of very subtle styling tweaks to mark out its position as a hotter version. Its 22-inch wheels, extended rear spoiler and more athletic-looking bumpers hint at the marked changes under the skin. The most important of those is the three-chamber air suspension, which is up to 15 per cent stiffer. Take it easy and the S feels much the same as its ‘regular’ stablemate, but switch to Sport mode and the ride firms up, with this setting also bringing a more playful approach from the ESC system. The Bentayga S certainly isn’t lacking personality. The freer-flowing sports exhaust gives it an even more boisterous character and sounds great, constantly goading you to step on the throttle. However, while the volume has been turned up to 11, performance is unchanged. That’s because Bentley has left the 4.0litre turbocharged engine well alone. The 0-62mph sprint is completed in an identical 4.5 seconds, while top speed stands at 180mph – the same as for the standard Bentayga V8. Regardless, it feels luxuriously rapid from a standstill, the rear squatting and finding great traction. The stiffer set-up
is noticeable – the ride is generally quite firm – but the clever damping means that while body control steps up a notch, it still shrugs off rough surfaces and potholes. The S feels hunkered down through fast bends, belying its height and considerable kerbweight. The single weak point to the otherwise incredibly accomplished driving experience is the light steering. It makes the Bentayga surprisingly manoeuvrable for a car of this size, but it lacks feedback. The gearbox shifts cleanly, apart from the occasional slight snatch in Sport mode – all accompanied by an aggressive blare from the exhaust, of course. But leave it in the regular ‘Bentley’ mode, as most owners will, and the Bentayga V8 S settles into its stride, tones down the exhaust (although not completely) and doubles as a remarkably relaxed cruiser. The two-tone Alcantara sports seats offer just the right balance of support and comfort, while the commanding view out brings an unquestionable feeling of superiority over other road users – like it or not. Far from being an amalgamation of the Volkswagen Group parts bin, the Bentayga continues to feel like a bespoke, beautifully crafted place in which to spend time. The infotainment system is responsive and packed with functionality, while the chunky climate-control switches are a cut above – not least because they’re not hidden away within the touchscreen. Personalisation is key to any Bentley specification, and while every V8 S gets Blackline trim additions as standard, there are plenty of ways to customise your car’s appearance. There are more than 100 paint options, for instance, including a staggering 19 shades of blue alone. Available with four, five or seven seats, the V8 S is as practical as any Bentayga; the cabin is spacious, if not quite class leading. Beware, however, that while the four-seat spec is obviously opulent, the seats don’t fold down to free up space in the boot.

PERSONALITY Bentayga V8 S’s exhaust note is louder in Sport mode. The engine emits a deep rumble, which gives the car a sportier character and plenty of personality. It sounds great
Verdict
THE Bentley Bentayga has long been considered one of the besthandling SUVs on sale, and the V8 S ups this ability even further. It takes the standard car’s poise and precision, and builds on them, with a well sorted chassis and a howling sports exhaust. Yes, it’s expensive, and a little ostentatious. But cars such as this aren’t long for the world – and it feels like we should celebrate them while we can.

John_McIlroy@autovia.co.uk @johnmcilroy
CITROEN’S new big car, the C5 X, is being launched with a relatively simple line-up of just three powertrains. We’ve already been impressed by the plug-in hybrid (Issue 1,720), while acknowledging that its high price probably restricts its appeal to user-choosers looking for an efficient, tax-busting company car. Now it’s time to determine whether the entry-level petrol model has enough of the rangetopper’s qualities to attract private buyers. There are, in fact, two pure-petrol versions of the C5 X sitting beside the PHEV. The mid-range model has a 1.6-litre fourcylinder motor with 178bhp and 250Nm of torque. But the entry point in this large hatchback-crossover is a 1.2-litre threecylinder unit, producing 128bhp and 230Nm, mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Those outputs seem relatively modest for a vehicle large enough to have cars like the Skoda Superb on its list of rivals. And sure enough, the performance figures don’t look particularly stellar on paper; 0-62mph takes 8.1 seconds, and the top speed is 130mph. On the road, the smaller engine and lack of a big battery make the C5 X feel noticeably lighter on its feet than the hybrid. Pure-petrol cars do without the trick active suspension of the plug-in, but they do get Citroen’s Progressive Hydraulic Cushions
32 20April2022
(in effect, fluid-filled bump stops). And if anything, there’s a slightly more predictable, consistent level of composure here. Indeed, there’s a sweetness to the way the C5 X turns into corners. Although its steering remains sadly short on feel, the body control is perfectly respectable. It strikes us as a solid compromise between low-speed comfort, motorway waftability and sensible B-road progress, albeit one that offers next to no involvement. In a way, though, this character is a decent match for the engine, because for all the pure-petrol model’s lightness compared with the hybrid, the three-cylinder unit is still acutely aware that it’s hauling around a big family hatchback. Thrash it to the point where the eight-speed automatic gearbox starts delivering kickdowns and you’ll certainly hear some three-pot rumble. But as long as you’re not in a desperate rush, it’s fine – and the transmission is smooth. Rolling refinement isn’t a match for the hybrid’s, but without the acoustic glass that you get on top-spec versions, you’re more likely to hear a bit of wind rush than you are any drone from under the bonnet. Citroen has done a good job of making even this entry point a solid, relaxed cruiser – and

The cabin certainly feels plusher than those of many recent Citroens, with highgrade fabrics and finishes in direct sight, and any cheaper materials tucked away.

our experience, their showroom appeal isn’t matched by their ability to resist scratches. Citroen’s infotainment system represents another marked improvement for the brand, with a crisp display that reacts sharply to touch inputs. However, the built-in TomTom satellite navigation is pitiful compared with what you get by hooking up your Android or Apple phone. Fortunately, this connectivity is standard on all versions of the C5 X. The Citroen’s credentials improve further when you look at its costs – and the finance deals that are likely to draw in private customers. Citroen has been working hard here to beef up predicted residual values and, as a result, reduce the monthly rates. It appears to have worked. With a deposit of just under £4,500 on a four-year, 40,000mile PCP deal, even this mid-spec 1.2-litre model will cost you £329 per month. On an identical deal, Skoda’s admittedly more powerful SE LSuperb DSG will set you back £70 per month more – costing more than £3,300 extra over four years.

The extras fitted to this test car include the Comfort Pack (adding electric front seats with lumbar support and a heated steering wheel, for £500), the M240i Pro Pack (gloss-black exterior trim and a Harman Kardon sound system, for £1,700), the Tech Pack (head-up display, WiFi hotspot, wireless smartphone charging and BMW’s Parking Assistant, for £1,250) and Brooklyn Grey metallic paint for £595. Other options include a 360-degree parking camera. Standard kit is fairly generous anyway; all M240i models get 19-inch alloys, LED headlights, three-zone air-conditioning, leather upholstery, and the twin-digital display. Place a three-month initialpayment on a three-year lease with a 10,000-mile annual limit, and we found a best deal for this BMW model of £576 per month.

AS with the BMW, there’s only one trim level for the 718 Cayman line-up, which can then be bolstered with a huge range of optional extras – both performance and cosmetic. Kit levels aren’t particularly great by the very latest standards – there are only two airbags, and the headlights are xenon as standard, not LED – so if you delve into the options list, it is possible to see costs increase quite quickly. The standard sports seats are trimmed in a mix of Alcantara and leather, and the wheels measure 18 inches as standard, with 19 and 20-inch rims also available. Personalisation is great, though; buyers can select from a range of standard colours or have a shade mixed to sample, while everything from the door handles to the side air intakes can be finished in black. Lease deals for the base 718 Cayman are hard to come by, but we found one that matched the BMW’s for term length and up-front payment, at £756 per month.

ROADTESTS THROUGHTHE RANGE THE TT RS is available in three trim levels. The standard model in these images gets 19-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery and that fabulous 12.3-inch Digital Cockpit infotainment set-up. That higher purchase price harms the lease figures, though; even with more deals to choose from than the Porsche, the best we found was still more expensive at £767 per month. Next in the line-up is the Sport Edition. This adds mainly cosmetic upgrades that include 20-inch wheels, a black exterior styling pack and carbon inlays in the cabin. It also gains the RS sports exhaust system. These extras raise the monthly lease costs to £829. The Vorsprung is the most expensive of all, at £943 per month, but it’s also the best equipped. Here, there’s a different style of 20-inch wheel, plus matrix LED headlights, a range of driver-assist systems and a more sophisticated magnetic-ride damper system.

NONE of these models feels cumbersome, but the BMW’s turning circle is the largest here.
WIRELESS CHARGING
BMW lets you have wireless charging only as part of a £1,250 package.
1st
has produced a brilliant mini-GT car. It’s sharp enough in the bends to thrill, but comfortable enough on long journeys, too. It’s the most spacious and practical car here, its tech is also the best, and it has plenty of equipment. The Porsche might ultimately be a better driver’s car, and the BMW is a little on the thirsty side, but as a complete allrounder, it is very hard to beat.

PORSCHE IF you’re aiming for the
CAYMAN and TT RS are similarly compact from the outside; they feel the perfect size for a sports car on the road.
RANGE
ALL three cars have virtually identical fueltank sizes, but the Porsche’s range can be boosted by an optional 64-litre tank.
TECHNOLOGY
BASIC Cayman platform is showing its age when it comes to in-car tech; Android Auto would be useful.
2nd
purest, most engaging driving experience, then lookno further than the 718 Cayman. Its chassis remains utterly brilliant, and the steering, brakes and gearbox are all fantastic. Strong residuals along with decent economy even make it fairly cheap to run, too. With a more characterful engine it could pip the BMW to victory – but as things stand, it takes a close second place.

wrong with any of this trio, but one car must bring up the rear, and this time it’s the TT RS. For many buyers, the wonderful fivecylinder engine alone will be reason enough to head straight to the nearest Audi dealer, and the cabin still feels truly special. However, both the Porsche and the BMW are superior driver’s cars, and the TT’s residual values are by far the worst here.

Styling Sean reckons
WE LIKE We think the bodykit
the PSE’s design is a match for premium German rivals, with the Selenium Grey paint looking very modern
and aggressive stance look great. We prefer the PSE as an estate, too, even if its sleek style sacrifices some practicality
WE DON’T Premium feel is
let down by lack of attention to detail in places such as the location of the phone charging tray. It’s so difficult to access
Verdict
Second opinion
“I’m with Sean on the 508’s infotainment. The basic tech is there, but it needs to be more polished in its responses. In the modern market this is something that marks a car out as premium, and as we move towards full-electric driving this will be an increasingly important area of development for Peugeot to push upmarket.”
hn McIlroy Deputy editor
THE PSE is a great example of a car that makes more sense with time, as I’ve been preaching to my friends and family. They almost unanimously like everything but the price. But times are changing, and so is Peugeot. The more I live with it, the more I’m convinced that the PSE is the right product for the firm at the right time.

OURCARS Dark star Black paint is a mixed blessing. It looks great, but is very hard to keep clean
Citroen e-Dispatch
AFTER spending six months with a Ford Transit Custom plug-in hybrid last year, senior test editor and van correspondent Dean Gibson has now gone fully electric following the arrival of a Citroen e-Dispatch on our fleet. The French van is a sister model to the Vauxhall Vivaro-e, which was voted Electric Van of the Year in our 2021 New Car Awards, and we’re looking forward to seeing how it performs during our time with us. It looks great in high-spec Enterprise trim, with diamond-cut alloys and shiny black paint (which is already proving to be a pain to keep clean), and the kit on board is decent, too. Having signed up to the MyCitroen app, Dean can adjust the cabin temperature remotely while the van is on charge. Speaking of charging, with Gridserve’s Electric Forecourt in Braintree, Essex, only 20 minutes away from home, Dean is making use of its fastcharge facilities (above) to keep the 75kWh battery topped up. Charging costs are reasonable, while clean facilities, free WiFi, and Costa, M&S and WHSmith outlets mean it’s a handy place to stop, work and do a food shop.

Second opinion
“ItmayfrustrateStuartthatpeople callhisPolestar a Volvo, but the 2 is still a transitional vehicle for the brand. We’ll have to wait a few years before we really see its own design language take effect.”
hn McIlroy Deputy editor
www.autoexpress.co.uk
WE DON’T The ‘froot’ is great, but is fiddly to open, just like a regular bonnet. With the charge port at the back, it’s just easier to throw the cable in the boot.
Verdict SO what is it, then?The Polestar 2 is a Tesla Model 3 shorn of all the gimmicks, with a luxurious feel and great build quality. I love the understated design and the brilliant way the car’s tech is integrated.

ELECTRIC DREAMS FOR NEW HANKOOK RANGE NEW PRODUCT Hankook iON EV tyres
THISWEEK’S
HOTKIT
www.autoexpress.co.uk
products@autoexpress.co.uk
clean Q Spotlessly wheels – how?
Price: TBC Contact: hankooktire.com
KOREAN maker Hankook has taken the wraps off a new range of tyres specifically designed for electric vehicles. While the firm has EV versions of existing products, this is its first family of tyres produced solely for electric cars. There will be three designs in the iON range, Subhead with a Ventus Copy in spaceiONherS summer version arriving next month andina Winter i*cept iON available please Copy inspace September. There will also be an all-season her please Ventus A pattern Copy iON in space her for the US market. The range covers 18-22-inch rims and please Hankook says it has used experience gained from optimising existing tyres for EVs, plus supplying electric motorsport series, in the new tyres’ development. The iON range has been designed to counter the greater weight of electric vehicles caused by their hefty batteries. Hankook has also used aramid fibres to counteract the large deformation forces created by high-torque EV motors. The compound has been adapted to reduce rolling resistance and is claimed to extend a vehicle’s range. It uses a high proportion of natural oils, which boosts fuel economy and extends the tyre’s life. The tyres are also fitted with Hankook’s sound-absorber technology, which has a polyurethane foam inlay applied to the inside of the casing to keep noise to a minimum – a key factor in near-silent EVs.
Gotaquery?
Charging ahead
New iON tyres have been designed to cope with greater weight of EVs, as well to have lower rolling resistance, which will help to boost the cars’ range
A
I’VE got a problem cleaning my wheels. I use a wheel cleaner then a mitt after rinsing, but there are still spots remaining even after using a pressure washer. Am I doing something wrong? Les Brown
IT sounds like you’re using the cleaner correctly. Tar can be left by some cleaners – use something like Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover to shift it. Also consider using a clay bar for other stubborn marks.
Q Will covered light fail MoT?
A
I FOUND the passenger airbag ‘on’ light in my Mk3 Ford Kuga distracting, so I bought a gel badge to cover it. Will this be an MOT failure? Nick Bennett WE’RE not quite sure which light you’re referring to, but the MoT rules are clear – if the SRS malfunction indicator lamp is on, it is a fail. The tester will look for this, even if it’s hidden. It sounds like a problem you should investigate, but the solution doesn’t have to be expensive, because the light could be triggered by sensors or seatbelts, not necessarily the airbag itself.
Q Must I stick with XL tyres?
A
I’VE bought a car fitted with extra load (XL) tyres. I’ve had these on other cars and they made a lot more noise than standard ones. When I change the tyres, can I replace them with non-XL versions? Charles Whyte EXTRA load tyres can create more noise because they have a stiffer sidewall construction to cope with extra weight. Before you change tyres, you need to check the specification your car should have. If it needs XL tyres, you should stick with them. If not, you can go for a lower rating. When it comes to tyre speed and load ratings, it is okay to go higher, but not lower.

Price:From £12 Contact: halfords.com
IF you prefer to do your buying in store rather than online, you’ll be pleased to learn that Halfords has just added to its shop line-up. Joining the chain’s car-care offering are two products from detailing favourite Autobrite Direct. To help keep swirls and scratches in paintwork to a minimum there is Parma Violets Superfoam, which delivers a super-thick purple blanket. And, as you’d expect, it has a Parma Violet perfume. On the performance side the product is claimed to give top cleaning, and it is pH neutral so it shouldn’t affect any wax or sealant already on the car. A litre costs £15. Once the car has been cleaned, the paintwork gloss can be restored with Autobrite Cherry Glaze Polish. This aims to remove oxidation and can mask light scratches. It is also packed with T1
NEWPRODUCT Roadflash Hazard Awareness Wrap Price: £29.99 Contact: roadflash.co.uk

The brainchild of Roadflash, the single-use self-adhesive wrap is designed to be stuck on the rear of the broken-down car. Once attached, reflective chevrons alert drivers to your presence and direct them away from the car. Roadflash says the graphics can be seen from 300 metres away. Hazard Awareness Wrap uses a paint-friendly adhesive and measures 600 x 1200mm, and it comes rolled up in its packaging for easy storage in the boot. Roadflash says it’s suitable for use in all weathers.

NEWPRODUCT Travel Bear Baby Car Mirror
MG Y Type Sports Saloon
Price: £12.99 Size: 20 x 15cm Rating: Contact: travelbearkids.com
Neil Cairns (Amberley Publishing, amberley-books.com) Price: £15.99 Rating:
WE have previously been impressed by Travel Bear’s innovative tablet holder for kids, which uses an elasticated fabric hood that stretches over the headrest. Using the same concept, this new product replaces the pouch with a 20 x 15cm shatterproof mirror. The advantage is that it takes seconds to fit or remove, which might be crucial if you carry the baby at the weekend but have to make the car fit for work during the week. Despite the rectangular hood the elasticated material grips well on most headrests, but you’ll need to get creative if they don’t point in the right direction to give the best view. Stuffing a cloth inside the hood was effective for us. It then worked welland was less prone to vibrations – but the mirror is smaller than its rival here, and was easily scratched.
DESPITE its old-school looks the Y-Type was reasonably advanced for its time, which means there’s enough to write about to fill these 96 pages. The book is interesting throughout and authored by a long-time owner, who also gives advice on buying and maintaining one.
Reflect on a good idea with a baby car mirror Tom Barnard
IF you’ve got a new baby, there is a long list of things you’ll need to buy in order to keep them happy and safe. If you plan to take them in a car, the list will be even longer. First up is a seat – and to give the best protection, it’s recommended that you put babies in rear-facing chairs in the back of the car. The trouble is that you won’t be able to keep an eye on them from the driver’s seat, and they can’t see
you, either. The way to solve this is with an extra mirror mounted on the back headrest, which is angled so you can glance atyour baby in the rear-view mirror. These have been used for decades, but now Travel Bear reckons it has reinvented the concept with a slip-on elasticated hood. We tried it, along with the best-selling Venture Mirror. Although the Venture took longer to fit and wasn’t quite as stable on bumpy roads, it offered a better view and so takes the win here.
BESTBUY Venture Baby Car Mirror Price: £13.49 Size: 24.5 x 17.5cm Rating: Contact: amazon.co.uk
THE Venture comes ready assembled but still takes a few minutes to fit securely, using straps and clips that cross around and underneath the headrest. The mirror can then be adjusted on a ball joint. It’s not as easy to fit as the Travel Bear, but once it’s done it offers a solid fixing that worked well, even on our Audi’s odd-shaped headrest. The mirror itself is usefully bigger than the Travel Bear’s, too, and its convex surface gives a wider view – useful if you want to see where a teddy has been dropped. The ball joint also means it can also be twisted around to offer a portrait view of the whole seat. On soft-foamed headrests the Venture does move around when driving over bumps, but this should rarely be a problem.

This is a single-finger game – press to go, lift to brake – but you have to do it at specific points on the track, which takes any skill or fun out of the game.

CORDLESS DRILLS Turn to the best to take strain out of motoring DIY Dave Pollard
WHEN it comesto poweredversatility, the jack-of-all-garage-trades has to be the cordless drill. With modern batteries and increasingly powerful motors, they offer all the benefits of a mains tool without the need for cables or a socket. As well as for drilling, they can be used as a power screwdriver, thread tapper, wire brush, and even a buffer for paintwork. So, which one should you invest in? We charged eight to find out.

RECOMMENDED FROM Draper’s non-Expert
range, the D20 features just one 4Ah battery, but does come in a tough, plastic case with a large auxiliary handle, ideal for applying extra pressure. There are an impressive 24 easily selectable torque settings, but less good is the drill’s weight at 2kg. It was one of the heftiest on test, which made the handle more of a necessity than an bonus. The top speed of 1,800rpm was plenty to get through the tests, after which it still showed three out of four LEDs on the battery. The Draper is limited in some respects, but its price and twoyear warranty make it well worth a look.
2022
Howwe testedthem
OUR testing started with five minutes of no-load running at the fastest speed and then another five of hard work, using a wire brush to remove thick rust from a steel plate. We drove large screws into wood to assess the tools’ torque, and drilled into various metals. Comfort and the balance of weight and size are very important, especially when tools are being used for longer periods. The practical tests were combined with an assessment of the drill’s features to produce an overall result. We looked for a protective case or bag, multiple bigcapacity batteries, an LED to light the work area, plus extras such as drill and screwdriver bits, battery-state indicator and preset torque settings. Finally, we added in the best price we could find and the manufacturer’s warranty.

WE really like the build and finish of the two-speed, 24-torque-setting Ryobi, and it performed well in our tests. The bare unit is a well priced drill, just as long as you already have a ONE+ battery and charger, which are sold separately.
THE startling 135Nm of torque was very useful on tests like the wire brushing, and it is controlled with 24 settings. This drill is from Draper’s Professional range and has a three-year warranty, but the price is high as a result, especially with just one 4Ah battery.

its efficient 18V motor spinning nicely to cruise through our tests. At 1.6kg, it’s exactly the same as the lightweight Panasonic and at 185mm long, it’s easy to handle even on the longer tests. The two 3Ah batteries would be enough for most users and as well as the charger, the kit also comes with a strong, stackable case. There are a useful 22 torque settings plus 70Nm of torque and a basemounted light. It would be good to have more than two battery-state LEDs, but it’s a small niggle in an otherwise great package.

RECOMMENDED DESPITE weighing 1.95kg, the Sealey always
felt small and light and, unusually, comes with different-spec batteries – 6Ah spread across 2Ah and 4Ah. It’s a good idea, offering options for large and small jobs. The canvas bag isn’t bad, but we’d still prefer a hard plastic case. The second-highest speed of 2,000rpm meant it did well in the brushing test and its 65Nm of torque easily got down to the metal. Driving is good with 21 settings. We liked the three-year warranty, but its price – around £40 more than the HiKoki – hurt its chances.

I’M no hi-fi geek and am not concerned by my car’s lack of Apple CarPlay connectivity, but I do wish it had DAB radio. I assumed I could simply purchase a new head unit to rectify this, but I’m told it’s a more involved process than that. Is this true? Ken Marshal, E-mail THE issue you face is that digital radios use a different type of aerial to analogue radios. The DAB aerial typically sticks to the inside of the windscreen and wires into the back of the unit. If you’re mechanically confident, you may wish to attempt this yourself. If you’re less certain, it may be wise to consult a professional and get a quote for having the full upgrade done. The cost will depend on your model of car.

ALTHOUGH you may be able to bag a bargain used car at an auction, bear in mind that only around one in 10 of the cars sold in this format goes to private buyers; the rest tend to end up on dealer forecourts. The key issue to be aware of is any purchase at auction is covered by the Sale of Goods Act, which is far less comprehensive than the Consumer Rights Act. As such, an extra degree of caution is needed.

THE Volkswagen Golf has become an institution since it first appeared in 1974. Almost half a century on, this perennially popular family car is still in production, in Mk8 form, and is as desirable as ever. It’s been offered as a hatchback, estate and a convertible over the years, and VW introduced a high-roof mini-MPV version in 2005, called the Golf Plus. Although this offered more practicality than the regular Golf hatch, sales figures were modest, but that didn’t stop the brand from introducing a sequel in the form of the Golf SV (Sports Van), which also didn’t sell in big numbers. Don’t be put off by this, though, because in many ways the Golf SV is every bit as good as the regular Golf, and more so if you need extra usability and versatility.
History
PICKING up where the Golf Plus left off, the Golf SV arrived in July 2014 as a five-door hatchback with five seats; anyone wanting to accommodate seven people had to buy a VW Touran instead. Golf SV buyers could choose between two petrol engines: a 1.2 TSI with either 84bhp or 109bhp, or a 1.4 TSI unit with 124bhp or 148bhp. Diesel fans could opt for a 1.6 TDI engine with 89bhp or 109bhp; at the top of the range was a 148bhp 2.0 TDI unit. Things ticked over for the next three years, but then in autumn 2017 Volkswagen announced a facelifted Golf SV, with revised styling, new colours and extra driver-assistance systems, such as trailer assist and traffic jam assist. By this point the 1.2 TSI petrol engine had been replaced by a 1.0 TSI unit that offered either 84bhp or 109bhp.

Deputyconsumereditor
www.autoexpress.co.uk/driver-power THE GolfSVhasn’t appeared in any Driver Power survey, because it never sold in big enough numbers, but the Mk7 Golf on which it was based has.The last time was in the 2019 new (41st out of 75) and used car polls (34th out of 100). In the latter survey, owners liked the fuel economy, driving experience, visibility, practicality and ergonomics.Servicing costs, ventilation and seat comfort weren’t praised, however.
YOUR VIEW
MARIA Kemp from Guildford, Surrey, has a 2016 Golf SV 1.6 TDI.She said: “I boughttheSVwhen itwasthreeyearsold, to replace my 2007 Golf. The SV is great because it has lots of room, feels incredibly safe, the dash is easy to understand and it’s been very reliable. The engine pulls well, but is quiet and economical, too. I love it, but I don’t know that the SV offers enough over a Golf hatch to seek one out specially.”
www.autoexpress.co.uk
LET’S be frank, the Golf SV isn’t an exciting car, and certainly not the sort of thing you would buy for the way it looks or handles. However, if you’re in need of a practical, reliable, well packaged and well built small MPV, you really can’t go far wrong with one of these. That’s subject to two conditions, though: the first being that you mustn’t pay over the odds for one, while the second piece of advice is to avoid the entry-level petrol engines.
LOAD CAPACITY Golf SV’s 590-litre boot is 210 litres larger than the Golf hatchback’s. Flip the rear seats down and there’s 1,520 litres available. GT models get rear parking sensors
Common faults
WE haven’t heard of any faults specifically affecting the Golf SV, but many Mk7 Golf owners swap the car’s standard halogen headlight bulbs for different options. Other drivers have trouble pairing their smartphones to the infotainment system.

GOLF SV owners can choose between fixed-interval or flexible (variable) servicing. The former requires checkups every 12 months or 9,300 miles, while the latter allows up to 18,600 miles or two years between garage visits, depending on how the car is driven. Once a Golf SV reaches its third birthday (and up to the point that it’s 15 years old) it’s eligible for cut-price maintenance, with a minor service pegged at £184, while a major is £364. Many newer cars will come with a transferable service plan, to cut maintenance costs. Brake fluid should be renewed after three years, then every two years, at £69. All engines have a cambelt that needs replacing every five years (£669, including a new water pump). Diesels have a 130,000-mile limit between cambelt changes, but there’s no cap for the petrol engines.

WE found just 200 SVs for sale, with prices starting at £7,500 for a 100,000-mile 1.6 TDI 110 S. Few SVs are available for less than £10,000, and you can still pay up to £25,000 for a 2020 1.5 TSI GT with delivery mileage. SE trim accounts for almost half of the available cars; GT makes up a quarter, with S the rarest version. Twothirds of SVs on the used market have petrol engines and half are automatic; prices start at £9,000 for an early 80,000-mile 1.6 TDI S. A £13,000 budget secures a 45,000-mile 1.4 TSI SE on a 16-plate, while £18,000 buys an 18-plate 1.5 TSI SE with 15,000 miles.
Interior
THESV is based on the Golf Mk7, so the dash looks very familiar; it’s carried over virtually unchanged. As such it’s very clearly designed, while the fit and finish are exemplary. In SV form the Golf is ultrapractical, with extra headroom for everyone, more rear-seat legroom (the back seat slides back and forth), and extra carrying capacity in the boot. With the back seats in place, the boot can stow up to 590 litres, or 1,520 litres with the seats folded (compared with 380 and 1,270 litres for the Golf Mk7 hatch). The eight-inch infotainment touchscreen is lifted straight from the Golf Mk7. A 9.2-inch touchscreen was an optional extra.

Recalls THERE have been three safety-related recalls for the
GolfSV, the first of which was issued in January 2017, because of faulty exterior lighting. The second action came two months later, because of airbags and seatbelt pretensioners that could fail to activate correctly in the event of a collision. Almost 4,000 cars across multiple Volkswagen models were affected by this campaign. Another recall was launched in February 2018, due to faulty airbags. Just a handful of early cars were affected. As well as these three safety-related campaigns, the GolfSV was also caught up in Volkswagen’s diesel emissions recall, which entailed software updates. Known as the EA189 service action, any GolfSV affected should have been updated by now. You can find out more about the programme at tinyurl.com/2uerva8w.
Which one?
WE’D avoid any Golf SV with an entry-level engine (84bhp 1.2 TSI, 89bhp 1.6 TDI), because you’ll want more muscle than this. Other than that, it’s a question of choosing what fits best with your budget. The DSG automatic transmission works brilliantly but increases fuel consumption, and manual gearboxes tend to be more reliable. Kit levels varied, so we’ll focus on the summer 2017 specification because this was mid-way through production. At this point, the entry-level S trim has a 6.5-inch touchscreen, DAB radio, Bluetooth, electric windows all round, plus electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors. The SE adds 16-inch alloys, automatic headlights and wipers, plus adaptive cruise control. The GT has sports seats, sat-nav, front and rear parking sensors and 17-inch rims.
Alternatives
THE Golf SV’s closest rival is the VW Touran. This is an even more practical seven-seater hatch, with the same engines, gearboxes, build quality and ergonomics as the Golf. More readily available is the Ford C-Max (and seven-seat Grand C-Max), which is
www.autoexpress.co.uk
PRACTICALITY There’s more legroom in the back of the SV than the Golf hatch. Handy airplane-style trays fold down great to drive and excellent value, while the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer is also plentiful and offers a lot of car for the money. The Renault Scenic and (seven-seater) Grand Scenic are stylish, well equipped and good value, as are the Citroen C4 Picasso/C4 SpaceTourer and seven-seat Grand C4 Picasso/SpaceTourer. We’d also take a look at the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, which is well made and spacious, too. It comes with a range of impressive engines and transmissions.
Verdict
IN theory the Golf SV is more desirable than the hatch that sired it, but this mini-MPV never captured the imagination of buyers. Perhaps it’s because the SV (Sports Van) name was perceived as being derived from a commercial vehicle rather than one of the world’s best family cars. But don’t let that put you off. As with the Golf hatchback, the SV comes with some great engines and transmissions, tough build quality and decent equipment levels,
especially if you buy an SE or above. While the Golf SV won’t set your heart racing, it should be painless to own in terms of reliability as well as running costs. But finding your perfect example might be harder than you think, because there aren’t large numbers of Golf SVs to choose from on the second-hand market.

Despite this, the A6 still tends to thump over large imperfections – especially S line models with their sportier suspension – so it’s not as comfortable as we’d like. The STronic auto is smooth, however, and the 2.0 TDI diesel is very refined, with over 60mpg possible, says Audi. A 50,000-mile, 2015 example costs £15,000.
THE RELAXING CHOICE
BMW 5 Series
FOR: Efficientengines,finechassis,spaciousinterior AGAINST:Bland styling, a common sight on the road
NEXT to the clean-cut Audi, the BMW’s rounded edges and rippled surfacing mean it doesn’t look as modern. It’s a sharper drive than its German rival, though – the 5 Series’ rear-wheeldrive chassis is engaging and agile in bends, yetSE spec’s smaller wheels also give a supple, comfortable ride. The BMW is a refined cruiser, too, keeping wind and road noise ata minimum. The popular 520d model is powerful enough, and can return over 60mpg – deeply impressive for a big saloon. A 2016 model with 62,000 miles on the clock dips within budget.
THE DRIVER’S CHOICE
Jaguar XF
FOR: Greattodrive,upmarketlooks,roomycabin AGAINST:Patchy interior quality, rivals more refined
THE XF Mk2 is one of the classier options in the segment. It’s not an overly adventurous design, but the Jag has a flair that its German rivals lack, and it’s equally impressive on the move. The XF is alert and expertly set up, feeling tied down over undulations and smooth over bumps. There’s a poise here that not even the BMW 5 Series can match, although the XF’s motorway refinement isn’t the best in its class. The 2.0litre diesel motor isn’t as punchy as its rivals in 161bhp guise, either, but it has enough poke for most situations. A 2016 XF with 52,000 miles on the clock comes in at £15,000.

Bestbuys DIESEL is sinking further out of fashion, but some executive cars are at their best with diesel power. With effortless torque and longer stints between fills, they still make a lot of sense, and the bestmodelsfrom justa fewyearsago have dropped below £15,000 on the used market. The BMW 5 Series is the quintessential big saloon. For well honed dynamics, plenty of space and strong efficiency, it’s tough to beat, but the
www.autoexpress.co.uk
Audi A6 might have the tools to do so. Its neat, understated styling is arguably slicker than the BMW’s, and the interior is first rate. Plus, while it’s not so agile, it is refined and economical. The Jaguar XF might be a left-field choice, but the Mk2’s chassis flows very well over tricky surfaces, feeling plush without sacrificing sharp handling. It looks smart, too, and the roomy cabin has a few classy design touches of its own.
BUYINGCARS
DearYousuf, I want a large premium saloon car to cover lots of miles in. A diesel engine is preferable for economy. What do you think? AndrewCarpenter, E-mail

WITHOUT doubt, the interior is the highlight of the A6 package. This Audi is beautifully built inside, with a fine blend of leather, metal trims and high-quality plastics, and from behind the wheel it feels every inch the premium executive express you would expect. Touches such as knurled metal climate
control dials and a nifty fold-away sat-nav screen really elevate the cabin’s ambience, even though Audi’s MMI infotainment set-up isn’t quite as slick as BMW’s. There’s plenty of room in the back seats, though, even for taller adults, and the boot capacity is a shade larger than the 5 Series’ at 530 litres.
THE 5 Series’ cabin has aged more gracefully than its exterior, with a rather attractive dashboard design, high-quality switchgear and a slick infotainment system. BMW’s iDrive software is among the easiest set-ups to use from this period, with Bluetooth as standard and optional tech that includes a bigger
infotainment display and a surround-view parking camera. Like its rivals, the 5 Series offers plenty of scope to adjust the driving position, allowing for a sporty posture behind the wheel if you want it. The 5 Series can also easily carry four adults in comfort, while the 520-litre boot is a respectable size.
ON the face of it, the Jaguar XF’s interior is just as sophisticated as its exterior in terms of design and build quality – there are aluminium details, plus soft leather and wood trim that swoops around the base of the windscreen, but the quality isn’t entirely up to the standards of its rivals here. Shiny, cheap-feeling piano black plastic trim is one aspect that lets things
down in this company, and while the overall fit and finish are good, the German alternatives feel more tightly screwed together. The Jaguar’s infotainment system is clunkier than its rivals’, too, although the boot is the biggest of the trio at an impressive 540 litres. Rear-seat passengers will have no complaints about a lack of leg or headroom, either.

Pick-up trucks: The models listed here pay a flat rate of road tax, at £295 per year. EURO NCAP RATING: At the start of each model is its Euro NCAP crash test safety rating (if available). The maximum score is five stars, although the test has been made tougher over the years, so ratings aren’t comparable between vehicles.
WILL IT FIT? Is your garage big enough? Our measurements show the length and width of each model, but remember estate and performance variants may be bigger. DRIVER POWER POSITION: Auto Express’s survey canvasses results from tens of thousands of motorists. Models are rated by drivers, then ranked against others on sale in the UK. The lower the number, the higher the score a model achieved.
INSURANCE: Group rating as quoted by the Association of British Insurers. WARRANTY: Next to each manufacturer’s name is the basic warranty period in months and miles for the mechanicals, corrosion and paintwork. EVs and hybrids will have dedicated battery cover. LIST PRICE: This is the on-the-road figure and includes VAT, delivery to dealer, 12 months’ road tax, number plates and first registration. EVs do not include the Plug-in Car Grant.

Hamilton and Jack Goff, plus an Infiniti Q50 for former British GT champion Rick Parfitt. The 2022 season will be the first with fan attendance throughout since 2019, after disruption during 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. TV coverage has ramped up, too, with a deal to show two events live on ITV1, in addition to the regular showing of every round, plus the support races, on ITV4. Speaking ahead of the season, BTCC boss Alan Gow said: “When we announced in 2018 that we’d be integrating hybrid, nobody knew the headwinds that would confront us. The pandemic, ongoing global supply chain issues (particularly with

microchips and electronics), disruptions as a result of the terrible invasion of Ukraine and the significant price increases of just about everything across the board have all provided huge challenges to the project. “So it’s important that I acknowledge and thank the outstanding work that Cosworth, the teams, our suppliers and my technical team have put in to get where we are today. The great effort that everyone has made against all those obstacles is something that we should all be incredibly proud of. “While hybrid is the headline news for this year, we also have the introduction of a completely new engine by M-Sport, which will be used by half the grid, the new 20 per cent sustainable fuel and allnew Cosworth ECUs and electronics. “Being the first touring-car championship in the world to go hybrid meant there were no learnings we could take from others, but I’m delighted that we’ve achieved this milestone in the history of the BTCC.” Following the Donington curtain-raiser this weekend, the BTCC will make customary visits to Brands Hatch, Thruxton, Oulton Park, Croft, Knockhill, Snetterton and Silverstone over the course of the year.

“The 15-second additional hybrid boost can be used to either attack or defend strategically during the races”
ks off at Donington
FERRARI factory drivers Alessandro Pier Guidi and Andrea Bertolini gave the brand’s new 296 GT3 customer racing machine its first shakedown run on the Fiorano track in Italy last week. Antonello Coletta, the head of Ferrari GT racing activities, said: “The new car has an intense testing program ahead of it, but we have already had some good feedback from this session.”
Jenson Button set for Nitro Rallycross
BRITAIN’S Jenson Button is to fulfil a long-held ambition of emulating his father John’s rallycross exploits, after signing up for a full season in the US Nitro Rallycross series, which will visit Lydden Hill in the UK in June. The 2009 Formula 1 world champion will pilot one of the series’ new-for2022 FC1-X fully electric supercars for the Xite Energy Racing team, driving alongside fellow Brit Oliver Bennett.
Leclerc out front as Formula 1 heads to Imola FORMULA 1’s European leg kicks off this weekend with the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at the Imola Circuit – the former home of the San Marino Grand Prix. With Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc leading the driver’s championship comfortably, having taken two wins from the opening three races, a strong turnout from the team’s fanatical Tifosi fanbase is assured. “I can imagine [the excitement], but I don’t want to think about it too much because it’s still very early in the season,” the Monagesque driver said ahead of the weekend. “I think it’s extremely important not to put extra pressure on ourselves and not try to overdo things.” Britain’s George Russell is currently a distant second in the drivers’ standings, while his Mercedes team is in the same spot in the constructors’ championship. That’s despite a tough start to the season for the Brackley squad, which has struggled to get a handle on the

‘porpoising’ aerodynamic effect that hit every team to some degree in testing. Elsewhere, Imola is the first of three Formula 1 weekends this year to feature ‘sprint qualifying’ on Saturday, and for this reason Ferrari is holding off deploying any major car upgrades, with limited testing time to evaluate any additions before qualifying kicks off on Friday. Red Bull, meanwhile, is looking to shave weight off its 2022 car, said to be one of the heaviest on the grid, and to get to the bottom of the engine issues that have seen MaxVerstappen retire twice in the opening three rounds.
