electricity is generated from coal. Likewise, a EV battery could lose half its efficiency if temperatures reach minus seven degrees. A significant conclusion drawn by Green NCAP is that “while compact and mid-sized BEVs show slightly less life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than combustion-engined cars in the context of the European average electricity mix, big, powerful BEVs may be in the same range as most diesel or petrol vehicles”. The organisation states: “While it’s true that electric powertrains are much as possible. highly efficient and the ability to The best and worst-case recuperate kinetic energy mitigates scenarios given for each car reflect the energy losses, the impact of different driving styles, ambient mass remains obvious.

GREEN NCAP, the sustainability offshoot of Independent crash test life body Euro NCAP, has launched a new cycle assessment (LCA) programme which is designed to help consumers choose the most eco-friendly cars. A total of 61 cars have been assessed for the first phase of the LCA under Euro NCAP’s Green NCAP banner, with the electric Fiat 500 coming out as the car with the smallest whole-life CO2 footprint. However, in contrast to its crash test results, Green NCAP is not offering consumers an easy to compare star rating system. Instead it is providing a ‘best and worst case’ range for each model giving an indication of its eco performance. There are two key rating elements that make up the Green NCAP LCA results. gas One rating is for lifetime greenhouse how emissions, which is an indication of its much CO2 a new car will produce from manufacture, through a lifetime of use based on 240,000km (around 150,000 miles) of driving over 16 years, to recycling at the end of its life. The second rating is Primary Energy Demand (PED) which calculates the a total amount of energy required over usage similar cycle of manufacture, and recycling – irrespective of how that energy is derived, be it from nuclear. or fuels fossil energy, renewable Interestingly, in terms of its total demand for energy, a diesel Skoda Octavia Estate has the lowest PED rate of all the cars assessed so far. According to Green NCAP, consumers to should attach the same importance PED as they do to greenhouse gas of emissions. “PED represents the sum all primary energy extracted from nature to provide the transportation, including wind, coal, oil, natural gas, hydro energy, waste, solar and nuclear energy.

There, I’ve said it. I know there will be plenty of people who disagree – do let me know what you think – but I just can’t see this one growing on me at all. BMW has been building up to it with the over-grilled 4 Series and iX, but I’ll admit that I’m coming to terms with the former’s stunning proportions, if not its face, while the iX’s pioneering tech forgives its visual sins. Yes, the 7 Series above is the all-electric i7, too, but in my eyes the front, side and back just don’t work as a whole. However, step inside and it’s a different story; the 7 Series is gorgeous – beautifully detailed and with well integrated technology. As well as the driver display and infotainment screens, there are screens in the rear doors and a giant 31.3-inch ‘BMW Theatre Screen’ that drops down from the ceiling. It’s all supported by a 36-speaker system from British audio specialist Bowers & Wilkins. I already know I’d be happy to spend many hours in the back of the 7 Series, and will probably really enjoy the drive, too; BMW has never disappointed on that score. In some ways, the new Seven reminds me of the Ford Scorpio of the 1990s: challenging on the outside, but really nice on the inside. Of course, BMW has had other ‘interesting’ vehicles in its past – remember the E60 BMW 5 Series, created by maverick designer Chris Bangle? Its bodywork slashes and sharp angles, called ‘Flame Surfacing’, caused much consternation. But Bangle was brilliant – the car has aged superbly and almost two decades on, it still looks contemporary. Need to get over the new 7 Series? Can I recommend you turn to page 14 and take a look at Ferrari’s 296 GTS – a truly drop-dead gorgeous drop-top. Ferraris just seem to get prettier and prettier these days, and even the F1 team is back to winning ways. Things are looking seriously good for the Prancing Horse.

AS of April this year, Kia was the bestselling car brand in the UK, and its family SUVs have accounted for a significant chunk of this impressive performance so far in 2022. And later this year comes another important new SUV: the second-generation Niro, and Auto Express has already driven a pre-production prototype. As with the first Niro, the new model will be available with three powertrains: the full hybrid driven here, a plug-in variant and the fully electric Niro EV. Our hybrid car uses a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and an electric motor that’s fed by a compact 1.32kWh battery. The combined output is 139bhp, but with 43bhp and 170Nm from the electric motor alone, performance in EV mode is strong enough for easy acceleration in town driving, where the Niro’s all-electric performance is called upon most. One clever feature sees the nav system recognise low-emission zones, and the car uses this info to prioritise running only on electric power when you reach these areas. With both power sources working together, the 0-62mph sprint takes 11.1 seconds, so the Niro doesn’t feel all that rapid. It’s best not to push the powertrain too hard, either, because full-throttle acceleration sees the dual-clutch automatic transmission kick down, sending engine revs soaring and impacting refinement, as well as the all-important fuel economy. The petrol unit doesn’t sound that pleasant under hard load, droning and impacting the otherwise strong refinement the Niro delivers when you’re cruising at a more leisurely pace.

● First drive of all-new hybrid version of Korean family SUV ● Practicality boosted by longer wheelbase and cabin revamp strong as a result, so in built-up areas the Niro is a relaxing car to drive. The new platform that underpins this second-generation car is longer than the previous model’s, but the Niro still doesn’t feel too large from behind the wheel. It has brought a huge improvement when it comes to interior space, however. Kia has also reduced the depth of the front seatbacks, so there’s a lot more rear legroom than in its predecessor. The old Niro was cramped in the back, with an almost claustrophobic feel, but that’s not the case in the new car. Headroom is great, and it feels as though there’s nearly as much legroom in the rear as you’ll find in the larger Sportage. The Niro is full of clever solutions, too. The old car had an extending load cover, but the new one has a foldable parcel shelf that takes up less space when it’s not in use. One reason for this is that there’s no space to put a conventional cover now, because Kia has created more boot space for this new car. With the rear seats in place there’s

Strong points

Instead, it’s better to concentrate on the Niro’s strong points. For instance, you can make the most of the car’s brake energy recuperation settings quite easily, something that Kia has taken from its electric models such as the EV6 and applied to this new generation of hybrid. In Sport mode, the steering wheel paddles shift gears, but we’d recommend sticking with the default Eco mode. In this setting the paddles control the brake regeneration, ranging from off to ‘Level 3’ resistance, and if you hold the left-hand paddle down, the car will automatically jump to ‘Max’ regeneration. For a hybrid this is really quite strong and, as long as you predict traffic conditions and corners in advance, it’s enough to drive with one pedal most of the time. It also helps to recharge the battery as much as possible in town, maximising electric running. This is when the Niro feels most at home, because the ride is on the soft side. Quick direction changes on more open roads see the car roll, and you can easily find its limits. But the Niro isn’t a car for this type of driving, and the mostly forgiving approach to the ride means that over bumpy urban tarmac, potholes and expansion joints, the suspension smooths out a fair degree of unwanted movement. Comfort is fairly

451 litres on offer, which is more than respectable for a compact SUV that also has to package a hybrid drive system. The Niro’s design looks sharper and sportier than before, and in keeping with Kia’s now fully refreshed SUV range it feels modern, not least thanks to the personalisation potential with the sleek side blades on the car’s C-pillars. Inside, it feels more upmarket, too. Our European test car equates to the £33,245 top-spec 4 model we’ll get in the UK, and comes with a pair of 10.25-inch dashboard screens arranged in a gently curved panel that replicates the larger 12.3-inch displays in the Sportage and EV6; the clever, contextswitching digital panel used for climate or audio settings is also present. There’s also a head-up display, a three-pin plug socket, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, parking sensors, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a Harman Kardon stereo, a powered tailgate and plenty of driver-assistance systems, too. There’s also a decent degree of quality even in our pre-production model, although this top-spec version is pricey. However, there’s another benefit. Official fuel economy hasn’t been confirmed, but given the Hybrid shares its powertrain with its predecessor, predicted efficiency of up to 65.7mpg and CO2 emissions of 120g/km mean it should be affordable to run.

BMW has been one of the leading premium brands when it comes to pure-electric vehicles. This is the new ‘G70’ 7 Series, and an all-electric i7 model is part of the line-up. Seen here in official images for the first time, the i7 will lead the 7 Series launch in the UK. It will be available before the end of this year, priced from £107,000, while plug-in hybrid 7 Series with combustion engines aren’t due until next spring. The styling of the two cars is similar, with an oversized front grille that’s likely to divide opinion, and the split-headlight design seen on the recently facelifted X7. Targeting the Mercedes EQS, the i7 will first appear in xDrive60 guise. It has two electric motors, one for each axle, giving a total output of 536bhp and 745Nm of torque. At some point in 2023, an i7 M70 will join the range, with around 651bhp. The 0-62mph time for the xDrive 60 is 4.7 seconds, and the top speed is 149mph. The 101.7kWh battery pack located under the car’s floor is described as “extremely thin”, helping the i7 to retain the characteristically sleek saloon shape of the 7 Series. The

i7 xDrive 60 uses 19.6-18.4kWh of the battery’s energy for every 62 miles covered, giving a WLTP range of between 367 and 388 miles. The i7 can be charged at up to 195kW, making it possible to add just over 100 miles of range in 10 minutes. The chassis features an all-wheel steering system. It turns the rear wheels by up to 3.5 degrees in the opposite direction to the front wheels at lower speeds and in the same direction at higher speeds. There is also a 48-volt motor-based active anti-roll system and variable-ratio steering. Inside, the most notable feature is the optional, 8k, 31.3-inch ‘BMW Theatre Screen’. This drops down from the car’s ceiling, and runs on Amazon Fire tablet software, giving the option of streaming films, TV and similar content. You can also specify a 36-speaker Bowers & Wilkins

New limos sticking with BMW’s iDrive controller THE new i7 and 7 Series both mix touchscreen displays with BMW’s iDrive rotary controller, a feature that was dropped on the newest 2 Series Active Tourer MPV. When asked about the future of the dial at a preview event for the new limousines, BMW’s Stefan Frick explained to Auto Express that the controller’s inclusion will be modelspecific, depending on the driver’s proximity to the screen. “You have to think about the architecture of the car and the ergonomics. If the screen is not close enough it makes no sense [to remove the rotary controller],” Frick said. “In the 2 Series [AT] it’s a different architecture, and the screen is pretty close; it’s quite convenient to control with touch.” BMW is still expected to drop the iDrive controller when it reveals its next-generation X1, but Frick reiterated that it has a future in some models. “We still stick with the iDrive controller, especially with this model [the 7 Series].

electricity is generated from coal. Likewise, an EV battery could lose half its efficiency if temperatures reach minus seven degrees. A significant conclusion drawn by Green NCAP is that “while compact and mid-sized BEVs show slightly less life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than combustion-engined cars in the context of the European average electricity mix, big, powerful BEVs may be in the same range as most diesel or petrol vehicles”. The organisation states: “While it’s true that electric powertrains are highly efficient and the ability to recuperate kinetic energy mitigates the energy losses, the impact of mass remains obvious. The LCA analysis also highlights the increased contributions of the production of a heavier chassis, bigger high-voltage batteries and the manufacturing of more electric components, such as cables and power circuits, to the estimated greenhouse gas output.” Green NCAP’s LCA ratings are available at greenncap.com.

“The PED rating calculates the energy consumed by a car’s manufacture, usage and recycling”

AS you might expect, NCAP’s results show that a large electric vehicle needs a lot more energy than a small one, and that an electric vehicle in general may have similar or even a higher primary energy demand than a comparable conventional car. For all types of powertrain, the organisation says that the highest PED demand is during the usage phase, so it’s important to reduce the consumption of fuel – whether it’s electricity or petrol/diesel – as much as possible. The best and worst-case scenarios given for each car reflect different driving styles, ambient conditions as well as the energy mix prevalent in different countries. For example, the same battery electric vehicle (BEV) may provide low greenhouse gas scores in Sweden, where it’s likely to be charged exclusively from renewable power, but the same car could generate more greenhouse gas across its lifetime than a petrol equivalent in Poland, where most

GREEN NCAP, the sustainability offshoot of independent crash test body Euro NCAP, has launched a new life cycle assessment (LCA) programme which is designed to help consumers choose the most eco-friendly cars. A total of 61 cars have been assessed for the first phase of the LCA under Euro NCAP’s Green NCAP banner, with the electric Fiat 500 coming out as the car with the smallest whole-life CO2 footprint. However, in contrast to its crash test results, Green NCAP is not offering consumers an easy-tocompare star rating system. Instead it is providing a ‘best and worst case’ range for each model giving an indication of its eco performance. There are two key rating elements that make up the Green NCAP LCA results. One rating is for lifetime greenhouse gas emissions, which is an indication of how much CO2 a new car will produce from its manufacture, through a lifetime of use based on 240,000km (around 150,000 miles) of driving over 16 years, to recycling at the end of its life. The second rating is Primary Energy Demand (PED), which calculates the total amount of energy required over a similar cycle of manufacture, usage and recycling – irrespective of how that energy is derived, be it from renewable energy, fossil fuels or nuclear. Interestingly, in terms of its total demand for energy, a diesel Skoda Octavia Estate has the lowest PED rate of all the cars assessed so far. According to Green NCAP, consumers should attach the same importance to PED as they do to greenhouse gas emissions. “PED represents the sum of all primary energy extracted from nature to provide the transportation, including coal, oil, natural gas, hydro energy, wind, waste, solar and nuclear energy. As energy supplies are scarce and valuable, they should be utilised wisely and the efficiency of all processes in a vehicle’s life cycle maximised,” it says.

INTERVIEW ALEKSANDAR DAMYANOV

Green NCAP Technical Manager

WHILE the UK government is committing billions to incentivise a rapid switch to electric cars, Green NCAP’s Technical Manager Aleksandar Damyanov suggests the results of his organisation’s life cycle assessments show EVs are not a panacea for the climate crisis. We asked Damyanov whether, given the relative parity between EV and ICE for lifetime greenhouse emissions, it was right for policymakers to focus so much attention – and cash – on incentivising EVs. “I’m not sure I can state that,” he says. “If the target is reducing CO2, we have options. There is justification for electric if I’m driving only a few kilometres every day, if I don’t need a big car, and if I can charge with a good renewable energy mix. If I’m using an electricity mix that is dirty, and the calculations are not better than a conventional vehicle, I would say something different.” Illustrating the point, Damyanov highlights the energy consumed by the all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E (below) during its life cycle: “A 2.2-tonne electric vehicle with around 300 kilowatts (400bhp) of power is a different story,” he says. “Of course you can charge it with 100 per cent renewable electricity and this will be better, but in reality who is doing that?” Damyanov maintains EVs tend to be compared in best-case scenarios, driven by renewable electricity or nuclear electricity, which makes their carbon footprint look advantageous. “This is the political climate that we have now,” he says. “The European commission [as with the UK] provides no benefits or incentives for renewable eFuel, so it distorts the balance in favour of EVs. The optimal solution means leaving all possibilities open, so the target should not be to put electric vehicles on the market, but to reduce CO2. If a vehicle is emitting nothing in England, but is produced with dirty energy in Asia, how does that help?” According to Damyanov, the future should hold much greater focus on eFuels synthesised from renewable energy. “The internal combustion engine has a very bad image, but it’s not the engine, it’s the fuel that we put in it. If we fill it with dinosaurs, that is our problem. It will burn what it has to burn.” Damyanov is under no illusions that his work will draw criticism. “There are people who see only black and white, and there are EV freaks and petrolheads,” he says. “The only thing we can do is serve consumers, who are the biggest stakeholder that we have. “If you see a commercial for a big electric SUV, and it says ‘save the planet’, is it really doing that? The manufacturer will say, yes, of course, and others will provide arguments from the other side. Our role is to inform as best we can, in a neutral manner.”

“Of course you can charge [an EV] with 100 per cent renewable electricity... but in reality who is doing that?”

THE Ferrari 296 GTB has gone topless with a new convertible version of the hybrid supercar, called the 296 GTS . Just like the 812 GTS, SF90 Spider and F8 Tributo Spider, the new 296 GTS features a retractable hard-top, which stows away in front of the car’s turbocharged V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain. Ferrari says the roof takes 14 seconds to go down or up and can be operated at speeds of up to 28mph. Powering the 296 GTS is the same 3.0litre twin-turbocharged V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain as the GTB, producing 819bhp at 8,000rpm and 740Nm of torque. That power is sent through an eightspeed dual-clutch transmission to the rear wheels only – unlike Ferrari’s other hybrid supercar, the four-wheel-drive SF90. But the GTS’s 0-62mph time remains unchanged over the coupé’s at 2.9 seconds – despite a 70kg increase in kerbweight. The top speed is also the same, at over 205mph, and Ferrari claims the 296 GTS is good for 15 miles of running in its EV mode, thanks to a 7.45kWh battery pack. Ferrari offers the GTS with an Assetto Fiorano package, which includes lightweight features and aero modifications such as a redesigned front lip spoiler capable of producing 10kg of downforce. Aside from the addition of aerodynamic flaps integrated into the rear trim structure to reduce buffeting, the cabin is the same as in the GTB. So that means updated infotainment from the SF90 and Roma,

plus an extra passenger-side display featuring information such as engine revs, speed and the current gear. There’s no word on pricing yet, but a close rival to the 296 GTS is the McLaren 765LT Spider, which starts from over £300,000. Expect to pay similar for the Ferrari when it goes on sale later this year.

NEWS Jeep Magento 2.0

Electric Wrangler heads f Juergen Zoellter

THE man in charge of designing Jeeps, Mark Allen, describes his work on the electric version of the Wrangler as his biggest challenge. Last year, the iconic US brand unveiled the Magneto concept, and now it has launched the Magneto 2.0, which brings tweaks on the outside and significant gains under the skin. Plus, it’s drivable. It’s also enormous, with the steering wheel at eye level as you approach it, although the Magneto 2.0 is reassuringly familiar once you climb aboard. The instruments, airconditioning controls, the toggle lever for locking the differentials, the stubby, lowratio gearbox selector and the longer one for the six-speed transmission are all present, just as they would be in a combustionengined Wrangler. And yes, that means the Magneto 2.0 is an EV featuring a six-speed manual transmission with clutch. Effectively the concept is a stretched twodoor Wrangler, with the extra space making room for four lithium-ion battery packs, as well as improving rear passenger kneeroom. Battery capacity is 70kWh, but current range is only 200km (124 miles), in deference to the electric motor’s enormous 625bhp. There’s a slight whine from the drive system at start-up, but as soon as we move off, the crunching of the huge tyres on gravel sets the tone. Oddly, driving electrically feels the same in every gear; only the level of energy recuperation varies. Even so, acceleration is powerful in any gear, thanks to peak torque of 1,152Nm. The maximum current of the drive system can reach 600 amps for up to 10 seconds, and Jeep promises the car can crack 0-62mph on asphalt in two seconds. We dive into the rock formations that give Utah’s Canyonlands its name. The “Rock

The enormous ground clearance and electronically controlled traction-management system help the Jeep to climb seemingly impassable rocks. There’s no loud increase in engine speed under high load. Only the rubbing of the tyres on smooth rock and the tensioning of the car’s springs and dampers punctuate the automotive scramble. During this, you can modulate the power with just slight movements of the right foot, only rarely needing to switch to the brake pedal. Downhill speed is mainly governed by recuperation – proof that a “one-pedal” technique off paved roads leads to a new quality of off-road driving.

INSIDESTORY Tackling the motoring issues that matter

Tristan Young

NO-haggle car sales are coming to a host of manufacturers within the next two years. Alfa Romeo and DS have already set a timeline for their introduction in mid-2023, and Volkswagen, Mercedes, Audi and Volvo are also looking to make the switch next year to a new way of selling their models. Why the change? It’s because a slew of brands are switching from the traditional franchised dealership model to one called an agency agreement, which will in effect ensure there’s a single, fixed price across all dealers, whether they are showroom-based or online. Buying a new car should be a simple task, but in reality it’s often very far from that once you get beyond the shortlist. Finding out how much a car will cost you is the first big hurdle. Yes, there are manufacturer recommended list prices, but almost every private newcar buyer uses one sort of finance scheme or another and thinks more about the monthly payment than the headline cost of the car. After all, what does it matter if a vehicle’s list price is £29,999, when all you really need to know is that you can afford the £299 a month repayment to keep it on your driveway? Of course, that £299 figure will depend on a few factors, too. For instance, how much is your trade-in worth? And do you have additional funds for a deposit? And that’s all before considering any haggling or discount that’s on offer when you get to the dealership which, ultimately, is the company selling you the car. It’s a complicated process as things currently stand. Yet, in the UK, almost every private car is sold this way, through franchised dealers. It also means that even though you may be buying a Ford or Vauxhall or BMW, your contract is with the dealer and if anything goes wrong, it’s the dealer that’s, legally, on the hook.

Simpler selling After more than 100 years of new cars being sold via franchised dealers, there is a sea-change in the offing as manufacturers consider a new way of selling. Haggling doesn’t translate well to the web, and that’s partly why manufacturers are looking at a system that will mean a single, fixed price is shown online to customers. But to do this, car makers must abandon the franchised system they’ve used ever since Henry Ford started mass-producing the Model T. That’s because in UK law, a manufacturer can’t control the price at which a dealer sells the car. So if the brand wants control, it can’t use the franchise model, and instead must look at a system where the company not only fixes the price of the car, but also makes a contract of sale directly between the consumer and itself.

DEATH OF THE SALESMAN?

ALL CHANGE The traditional salesperson (above) could be replaced by something like the Nissan Virtual showroom (right), which might be the shape of new agency retailers to come

The future of new-car dealers

INSIDE STORY

Franchised vs agency, the key differences Under a franchise agreement:

Under an agency agreement:

● The retail price of the vehicle is set by the dealer, so haggling is possible ● Sale contract is between dealer and customer ● Stock is owned by the dealer ● Dealers can pre-register cars to hit a target ● Specific costs associated with the brand, such as signage, are borne by the dealer ● Dealers can discount cars by ‘giving away’ some of their margin

● The retail price of the vehicle is set by the manufacturer, so there is no haggling ● Sale contract is between the brand and buyer ● Stock is owned by the manufacturer ● Dealers can’t pre-register cars ● Specific costs, such as signage, associated with the brand are borne by the car maker ● Dealers cannot discount models by ‘giving away’ the manufacturer’s margin

Agency model Called an agency model, or agency agreement, the new system for selling cars at a fixed price could still use dealers and showrooms. However, you won’t be able to negotiate over what you’ll pay for the car, and these showrooms may be virtual rather than physical. Everyone will pay the same price for a particular make and model of new car and you won’t have to worry if you got the best deal. If you don’t like haggling with a salesperson, that’s great news. However, the process is not quite that simple. There are still a few questions that need to be answered, such as what happens with your part-exchange, and indeed, your trade-in may be one area where you still have some leverage over the deal. That said, under the new agency model a car maker will probably have its own online valuation tool, which makes it easy both to switch cars, and also to compare with other online valuations.

INSIDE STORY The future of new-car dealers COST-CUTTING Alfa Romeo CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato admits the agency car showroom will reduce costs, which is critical to offset the higher prices of electric models

“Do not imagine for one second that the current [franchised dealer] model will be stable in the coming years.” JEAN-PHILIPPE IMPARATO CEO of Alfa Romeo

Keeping prices down While the move to a no-haggle system may just be seen by many people as part of the wider march of the internet and improved customer service, the switchover is happening now for two other reasons. Firstly, some car makers believe that changing to a no-haggle system can help cushion both them, and the customer, from the rising cost of car production as the world moves to battery-electric cars laden with tech. Alfa Romeo is likely to be one of the first manufacturers to move to the new no-haggle model to sell its products, along with fellow Stellantis brand DS. Alfa openly admits that savings will come from reduced distribution costs, in other words from the dealer network. Jean-Philippe Imparato, CEO of Alfa Romeo, explained the switchover. “Do not imagine for one second that the current [franchised dealer] model will be stable in the coming years,” he said. “Take a B-segment car; five years ago it cost £10,000, today that’s £15,000. If you put the connectivity, the safety and the EV in, it will cost £30,000. Do you think that customers will double their wages, too? No.” He added: “I can’t say the cost we’ll take out, but it will be significant. If you add in the EV costs, safety, connectivity, that’s 10,000 Euros per car, more or less, so you have an idea of what we have to do.”

Chip shortage The second reason the move to an agency model is happening now is that the Covid pandemic has meant that car production has reduced, thanks mainly to chip shortages, and demand is outstripping supply. The result of these shortages is that new-car discounting is currently rarer than it has ever been, which makes the switch to a no-haggle system easier for manufacturers to manage. Alfa Romeo and DS have been the most vocal about the new no-haggle sales system, but other brands are known to be working on an agency plan for new-car sales, too. These include Volvo, Mercedes and Volkswagen in the UK. However, other car makers have already implemented this system in other countries, most notably Toyota in New Zealand, BMW in South Africa, and Honda in Australia. Honda Australia is now more than six months into the new way of selling and has recently claimed that “89 per cent of customers strongly agree that buying a Honda was exceptionally easy, while 87 per cent gave the new sales experience a top rating of nine or 10 out of 10”.

NEW MODEL Alfa Romeo is looking to move to a no-haggle system of selling cars next year, and many other manufacturers are considering following suit

Nissan is currently demonstrating that it is possible for a manufacturer to use the latest technology to sell cars online and still have traditional dealers. Using a studio as a showroom and an actor as a guide, visitors to the firm’s website can take a live Zoom or Teamsstyle tour of a Qashqai, Leaf or the firm’s new Ariya allelectric SUV. The guide can then walk around the car, answer any specific questions from the customer and if the visitor wishes to buy the car, they are put in contact with their nearest dealer to negotiate the sale. John Parslow, Nissan’s head of digital, said: “The Live Showroom has only been live for a few weeks, however we’ve had really positive feedback from our customers. They love that it’s a really personalised experience, offers a service geared around their needs, and means they can enjoy the excitement of choosing their next new car from the comfort of their own home. “Depending on the enquiry, we will normally progress more than 60 per cent to a quotation, but the core measurement for us is about customer satisfaction and simplifying their buying journey, and for this we have 95 per cent-plus satisfaction levels.” Parslow also revealed that existing Nissan owners as well as prospective buyers are using the system. “We do get customers who will use the Live Showroom after purchasing a Nissan,” he said. “In some cases, if they’ve forgotten how something works, they’ve been taking advantage of the on-hand product experts that they can contact from home.” The multitude of different ways of selling a car either in use now, being considered, or being tested, shows there’s clearly a need to simplify the way vehicles are sold, both online and in the showroom. And while haggling may become a thing of the past for some brands, for as long as it works for other car makers, it’s here to stay.

IT’S GOOD TO TALK Nissan’s Live Showroom allows buyers to chat online to a guide, who can show them around a car and answer their questions

Pro-haggle It’s clear, not all manufacturers will move to this new system, with many in the UK already coming out to say they will be sticking with the traditional franchise model. These include Suzuki, Mazda and Kia. Kia’s UK president Paul Philpott argues that franchised dealers are still the best way to maintain high levels of customer care. “Obviously we’re watching what’s going on in the marketplace, but right now we have no intention of moving toward an agency agreement,” he explained. “I continue to believe that the value a franchise dealer can bring to the customer is very significant indeed. “Most customers, firstly, want to try a model before they buy and, secondly, (particularly around new technology) want access to someone they trust who they can talk them through the options.” Commenting on how to tackle a single online list price in a franchised model, Philpott said this wasn’t as important as communicating a monthly price to the customer. “No one goes out and spends £20,000 on their car, they spend £400 a month,” the Kia boss said. “What really matters to the consumer is ‘what can I get on my monthly budget?’ and that depends on residual values. It depends on the acquisition price. It depends on any discount the manufacturer is putting in, and any discount that the dealer is putting in. And that’s a complex calculation,” Philpott added.

All in favour? Not quite...

SUE Robinson, chief executive of the UK’s National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA), suggests buyers risk losing out, because greater control by brands will eradicate the competition aspect of the car-buying process. “An agency model will have a detrimental impact on customers’ choice,” she said. “Essentially, OEMs [car makers] will own the stock and set fixed prices.”

www.autoexpress.co.uk

“Most customers, firstly, want to try before they buy and, secondly, (particularly around new technology) want access to someone they trust who they can talk through the options.” PAUL PHILPOTT Kia UK president

“Ultimately, with the introduction of uniform pricing, it will mark the end of intra-brand competition. It is crucial that market regulators take steps to mitigate any adverse impact the agency model can have on consumer choice, as well as dealer employment and investment.” 27 April 2022 21

ANYONE at Skoda who was wondering whether the Czech brand’s values could be successfully applied to a pureelectric vehicle will surely have been reassured by the sales performance of the Enyaq iV. Over 50,000 examples of the car have been delivered to date and the current order bank is probably a little larger than even Skoda itself would like, numbering more than 115,000. So it’s perhaps not surprising that the range is being bolstered by a new Enyaq Coupé iV, a model designed to appeal to those who want the higher ride height – in this case accompanied by a zero-emissions powertrain – and who don’t need quite so much practicality. It’s a tried-and-tested formula for SUV makers, and even Skoda has some previous here; the firm created a Kodiaq Coupé for the Chinese market a few years back, and would gladly have sold it to European customers had it not been for a shortage of capacity at its factories. The profile of the new Enyaq Coupé is certainly very distinct from its more conventionally shaped sibling. The two models are the same up to the B-pillar, but from there, the Coupé’s roof tapers more noticeably towards the tailgate. It’s actually more aerodynamically efficient than the regular model, we’re told.

UK line-up

UK customers are being offered the Enyaq Coupé with a very simple range of just two variants, starting with the iV 80 we’re driving here, which is powered by the same 201bhp/310Nm rear-mounted motor as the regular Enyaq with the same designation. It can reach 62mph in 8.8 seconds and a top speed of 99mph, and its 82kWh battery (77kWh usable) promises a WLTP range of more than 335 miles. That’s a few miles up on an Enyaq SUV 80 – a result, you’d assume, of the more slippery shape. At the other end of the spectrum, this sportier bodystyle heralds the arrival of the Enyaq Coupé iV vRS – the first time Skoda’s performance sub-brand has featured on a pure-electric vehicle. This model draws heavily on the more potent powertrain of the VW ID.4 GTX, bringing front and rear electric motors with a combined output of 295bhp and 460Nm. The raw performance certainly lives up to the vRS branding, with a 0-62mph time of 6.5 seconds. The battery remains the same, though, so range does take a hit, to around 309 miles – and as we discovered when we tested this variant (Issue 1,720), it’s a bit too heavy to deliver real driving involvement. Skoda’s positioning of even the conventional Enyaq Coupés is interesting, because it’s pitching the car above the regular Enyaq. Pricing has yet to be confirmed, but we’d expect it to carry a premium of around £1,800 when it reaches showrooms in the autumn. Standard kit on regular Enyaq Coupés includes body-

In the vRS performance model, that drops to 309 miles coloured side skirts, 19-inch alloy wheels, a huge panoramic tinted-glass roof, Skoda’s 13-inch infotainment system (still the largest display on offer in any EV from the VW Group), full LED headlights and a 5.3inch digital instrument panel. As with the regular Enyaq, there’s a choice of five interior trim themes – Loft, Lodge, Lounge, Suite and EcoSuite. And of course, you can add options like larger wheels and Skoda’s adaptive dampers, called Dynamic Chassis Control. For those who want a sportier look for their Enyaq Coupé, but who don’t want the

price or pace of the vRS, a SportLine trim level is available. It steps up the wheel size to 20 inches (with 21s as an option) and gets the same drop in ride height – 15mm at the front, 10mm at the rear – as the vRS, plus DCC. Other SportLine features include acoustic glass, different interior materials and, not for shrinking violets, the ‘Crystal Face’ illuminated grille, featuring 131 LEDs. It probably won’t surprise you to hear that the Enyaq Coupé feels remarkably similar to its SUV stablemate on the road. The centre of gravity is slightly lower, of course, but not by enough to transform the dynamics; this has never been a car happy to be driven on the edge, and the same applies here. It’s at its best at a relaxed cruise, and is up for making it a swift one if you so desire. The relatively modest power output is easily

overshadowed by typical electric-motor instant torque, which brings enough immediate shove to make a car the size of the Enyaq feel plenty brisk enough. The control weights should be reasonably familiar to Skoda regulars, with front-end bite and steering response that feel similar to a Kodiaq. In this respect, you can always tell that the MEB platform came from the same firm that made the combustionengined MQB architecture. The Enyaq’s brake modulation takes a little acclimatisation – it’s that awkward transition between energy recuperation and

actual physical discs and pads – but before long you’ll be used to the step-off when you lift the throttle and find yourself able to stroke the Enyaq Coupé around town with only occasional dabs of the left-hand pedal. Our car was fitted with the optional adaptive dampers, but we’d question the merit of ticking that box, since firming things up in Sport mode does little to improve the body control, and alerts the occupants to more of the imperfections on the road below. This is not car designed to be hustled. Leave things in Normal mode, though, and the DCC-equipped Enyaq Coupé has

a relaxing long-distance gait and surprising compliance at low speeds around town; it remains one of the most comfortable EVs of its size. We’ll have to see if this setting is indeed on a par with the non-adjustable suspension configuration. The Coupé’s cabin has the same topnotch finish as the regular Enyaq, with high-quality materials in more of the key areas than you’ll find in a VW. Skoda’s infotainment solution isn’t perfect, but at least the interface makes use of the larger display to give you one-touch access to features like temperature and heated seat controls. Again, in this area the Czech firm has avoided the worst offences of its sister brands VW and Cupra. There’s room in the rear, too, for a couple of fully grown adults, thanks to a heat-

RIVALS What it needs to beat FORD MUSTANG MACH-E

From: £47,530

FORD’S first attempt at a bespoke electric vehicle successfully embodies the brand’s reputation for keen driving dynamics – even if purists will find it hard to forgive it for carrying the Mustang badge. The Mach-E’s chassis is more up for involvement than the Enyaq’s, and even the single-motor edition has quite a bit more torque than the Skoda. But a price rise earlier this month means a starting figure north of £47k.

KIA EV6

From: £41,695

THE EV6 could arguably be one of the Enyaq Coupé’s biggest rivals. Its price starts at a similar figure and its styling favours a swoopy roofline at the expense of a little rear headroom – certainly when compared with its sister car, the Hyundai Ioniq 5. Where the Kia could score over the Enyaq Coupé is its 800V electrics, which deliver charging speeds well over 200kW for faster fill-ups.

VOLKSWAGEN ID.5 reflective panoramic glass roof that saves headroom by negating the need to fit a blind. Six-footers should be comfortable enough, although the coating on the glass does such a good job of blocking out the sunlight that you might end up being a little disappointed by how much natural brightness makes it into the cabin. Perhaps the biggest potential banana skin with this new Enyaq Coupé is any compromise on practicality in the name of style – not something Skoda is known for. And yes, you do sacrifice a little boot capacity for the sake of that more aggressive roofline. But at 570 litres, the Enyaq Coupé’s outright capacity is only 15 litres or so down on the regular SUV version’s. That still makes this car one of the most practical offerings in the class.

www.autoexpress.co.uk

Verdict ASSUMING you’re avoiding the vRS editions, the Enyaq Coupé successfully wraps up the qualities that make the regular model so appealing – comfort, refinement, range and even practicality – in a more visually striking package. It’s not for us to point you in the direction of a particular bodystyle, but if the Coupé does strike a chord with you, the expected price premium and slightly smaller boot shouldn’t really put you off. It’s a fine addition to the Enyaq line-up, and one that is only likely to add to the already-considerable waiting list.

From: £50,550

VW is filling out its ID range of EVs nicely now, and the ID.5 is the coupé version of the ID.4 SUV – so a very close match for the Enyaq Coupé. Both cars use the MEB platform, of course, but the ID.5 range starts with a more modest variant than the entry-level Skoda, packing just 171bhp. Prices are higher for the VW, too; try to match the 201bhp powertrain in the Enyaq Coupé and you’ll be looking at a premium of around £10k.

NEWCARS Dacia Duster Extreme SE Essentials

Matt Robinson

Matt_Robinson@autovia.co.uk

IN terms of pure value for money, the Dacia Duster is unbeatable among the SUV ranks. However, you do have to make some compromises to make the low price possible, one notable area being style. Renault sister brand Dacia has sought to address this, however, with the new Duster Extreme SE. Using the previously rangetopping Prestige-trimmed Duster as a base, it builds on that car’s strong standard spec list with various cosmetic tweaks. First off, there’s the new and exclusive Urban Grey paintwork on the options list. There are new orange accents on the mirrors, grille and the ‘Duster’ lettering above the rear number plate, plus glossblack wheels. The theme continues inside, where the Extreme SE has been treated to gloss-black door cards, satin chrome air vent surrounds and a whole lot more orange – on the heater vents, door pulls, and the stitching on the part-artificial leather seats. This treatment doesn’t look drastic on paper, but the changes work nicely, giving the Duster a noticeable uplift in kerb appeal. Inside, meanwhile, the Dacia’s cabin feels far less staid, with those splashes of orange lightening the mood. Given that the Extreme SE makeover doesn’t have any mechanical upgrades, our TCe 130 4x2 version drives like any other Duster with that engine. The 128bhp 1.3litre in-line four-cylinder – an engine shared with the Mercedes A-Class – can sound coarse, particularly at higher revs, but as a unit that’s happy to pull strongly in the mid-range, this isn’t so much of an issue. It makes most of its power at 4,000rpm (peaking at 5,000rpm), while a generous 240Nm of torque arrives at just 1,600rpm.

Respectable

Fuel economy is respectable, with an official combined figure of 49.6mpg. Our test, which featured a lot of motorway driving, yielded an average figure of 38mpg. Getting consumption to start with a 4 shouldn’t take too much effort. The 1.3 is probably the pick of the bunch, because the 88bhp 1.0-litre triple isn’t much more economical, but can feel gutless. There’s also a more economical 1.5-litre diesel engine (the only choice if you want four-wheel drive), but it’s not as powerful as the 130 and is more expensive to buy. The Duster has MacPherson struts up front and an independent multi-link rear set-up. The ride can get quite busy on less smooth roads, struggling to settle, but it rarely crashes over bigger imperfections. Two factors make it surprisingly fun to drive along a twisty road, despite this not being a necessary part of the repertoire of a car like this. Firstly, there’s a satisfying manual gearshift. And secondly, the Dacia tips the scales at less than 1,300kg. So it’s quite an easy and enjoyable car to hustle around, even if the steering is a touch light and doesn’t offer much in the way of feedback. Grip levels are acceptable, but there is quite a bit of body roll. Despite sitting on what is quite an old platform now, the Dacia continues to score

well on practicality. The livened-up cabin feels spacious, with a high roof and adequate legroom in the back. The boot space of 445 litres (1,623 with the rear seats folded) is commendable given the car’s compact size. A lot of the plastics – particularly those used for the main part of the dash and the door cards – feel cheap, but this is made up for by the infotainment, which is impressive considering the Duster’s low price. In the Extreme SE, plus the Comfort and Prestigetrimmed cars, it is a reasonably responsive eight-inch touchscreen and includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Each version of the Extreme SE comes in at a £300 premium over its Prestige equivalent, which seems like an acceptable hike for what you’re getting in return, and once the PCP deals are out, the difference on a monthly payment is likely to be negligible. It’s worth pointing out that Urban Grey paint is £695; the only ‘free’ finish is Glacier White, although the same can be said for all Duster trim levels.

NEWCARS

Verdict THE Extreme SE derivative adds a welcome dash of style to the Duster Prestige for a modest premium, helping to distract from its cheaperfeeling elements. The mid-range Comfort trim level remains our pick of the range – it’s just an all-round better bet on value for money – but if you want a practical crossover with more kerb appeal while keeping to a tight budget, then the Duster Extreme SE is a good option.

FEW things in life will make you feel quite as special as sitting in the rear seats of an Audi A8 L 60 TFSI e. From the back of this £90,000, 2.4-tonne luxury limousine, you can adjust the fourzone climate control on the dedicated central touchscreen, which ejects out of the huge central armrest to operate as a remote control. Adjustable leather armchairs (now available in brown, if you prefer) can recline to near-business class flight levels of horizontal, while electric blinds can close to hide the outside world. Opt for the Relaxation seat, and it gets better still. A warmed and massaging footrest folds out from the back of the front passenger chair, while the seat itself has 18 pneumatic cushions to relax muscles in your back you weren’t even aware were there.

for-2022 10.1-inch HD displays mounted on the back of each of the front seats. The new screens are just part of a range of updates to an A8 line-up that has received a mid-life facelift to increase its appeal from the original version launched in 2017. From the outside, the most notable changes are at the front. The trademark singleframe grille is wider at its base and there are new chrome inserts replacing the old horizontal bars. The side intakes have been reprofiled, too. The headlights have also received a design tweak, but more significant is the technology inside them. The LED matrix units each feature roughly 1.3 million micromirrors that can aim and adjust the light beam incredibly accurately, to the point of highlighting a driver’s lane on a motorway. In practice, they’re fantastic; you can see the beam pattern constantly adjusting as you move along the road, in order to give the maximum level of coverage without blinding other road users. The rear lighting graphics are incredible, though; the

OLED technology plays animations as the car powers on or off. The A8’s mechanical set-up is similar to before, with aluminium backed up by a mix of high-strength steel, magnesium and carbon fibre-reinforced polymer for the construction. The body is held up by air springs, while optional four-wheel steering makes this 5.3-metre long limousine as easy to turn in the road as an A4. But while the cabin comfort feels exceptional, against its competitors the driving dynamics are merely okay. The ride comfort is very good overall, if not exceptional. At high speed it’s superb, but around town some shorter, sharper bumps can make it feel a little harsh. A BMW 7 Series has an edge here. Likewise wind and road noise are, in isolation, very well suppressed, but the Audi’s rivals are more peaceful still. There are four engines to choose from, including two 3.0-litre V6 units (one

Here we’ve got the likely choice of the exec who doesn’t want to waste their salary on excessive Benefit-in-Kind deductions; the 60 TFSI e is a plug-in hybrid that boasts official CO2 emissions of just 43g/km. The battery has grown compared with its predecessor’s, to 17.9kWh (14.4kWh of which is usable), which offers a much greater electric range. We found that a fully charged battery on a 14-degree Celsius day promised an EV-only distance of 35 miles. Charging can be completed at a rate of up to 7.4kW. Audi’s electric drivetrain is almost completely silent, although there’s a subtle shunt as the car shifts through the next of the eight ratios in the automatic gearbox. Performance from the 134bhp motor is adequate around town, but accessing the

model’s full 456bhp takes help from the 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 engine. Performance feels strong with electric and petrol elements working together; there’s no drama, just a smooth but constant surge that shoves the A8 forward at a hot-hatchback rate. The noise of the V6 is quite tuneful without being intrusive. With many trips covered in town, there’s the potential for that petrol unit to only be used sparingly. Officially, the 60 TFSI e achieves 148.7mpg, a figure that can vary wildly based on individual use, but one that isn’t impossible with a high proportion of short or urban journeys covered. The only real compromise that PHEV tech brings is boot space. With the battery pack located towards the back, the volume drops from 505 litres in non-hybrid versions to 390 litres.

Verdict THE revised Audi A8 remains as sumptuous as ever, and an understated way to move around in comfort. A larger battery makes the PHEV version more appealing than ever, too, but the A8’s main issue remains: most rivals manage to feel more cosseting and even more special. And with prices that can easily go north of £100,000, perfection isn’t unreasonable to demand.

FANS of fast Fords are among the most loyal petrolheads in the world. They love the cars and Ford knows this, which is how the brand’s Puma ST Gold came to exist. The new model was born out of an online “experiment in human-centred design”, in which Ford allowed enthusiasts to choose the spec of a special-edition Puma ST. There were a number of different details that punters could pick from, with more than 275,000 casting their vote on social media. These included the ST Gold’s paint colour which, contrary to the name, is black; 56 per cent chose this colour, while three quarters went for red brake calipers sitting behind a set of 19-inch matt-gold alloys. Grey seatbelt stitching and exterior graphics proved most popular, too, and they do give the Puma ST Gold a subtle lift inside and out when compared with the regular model. The contrasting black paint and gold alloys really do set the look off. At £32,595, it’s a pricey machine that some won’t see as good value compared with the standard £29,260 Puma ST. However, for those looking for exclusivity, this limited-run car offers just that. Otherwise, it’s broadly identical to the Puma ST, so it’s powered by the same 1.5litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine with 197bhp and 320Nm of torque for a 0-62mph time of 6.7 seconds. It feels rapid, with the turbo’s boost building quickly from low revs and sometimes overwhelming the front tyres in tricky conditions. However, the Performance pack comes as standard (it’s a £950 option on the standard ST) and the included limitedslip differential means traction is still good. The engine’s torque hits hard to make the most of this and the ST delivers punchy

Its also sounds a little strained higher up, but where the engine does its best work at lower revs (and how you’ll likely drive it most) the deep but characterful soundtrack it delivers, exhaust burbling, dispels any ideas that a three-cylinder engine means a thrummy, boring and budget note. Select Track mode and the engine sound enhancer delivers an even deeper noise. As with all modern hot Fords, the ST Gold’s steering is very fast and direct, to the point where it may catch you out given it’s an SUV. Sometimes, a higher-riding car with fast steering can see the chassis struggle to keep up, but that’s not the case with the Puma ST. The support the suspension offers is brilliant, but it still allows weight transfer so that a little lift of the accelerator in a corner tightens the car’s line. More importantly, it delivers a great connection to the car and plenty of fun in a package that’s more practical than the Fiesta ST. It does mean that the ST Gold is on the firm side, but this suits the car’s character – and

It’s also all the more interesting for having been created with the help of those enthusiasts in the first place.

Family-friendly seven-seat SUVs from Kia and Volkswagen show off their versatility

WHILE the popularity of SUVs continues unabated, in a lot of cases these taller, more imposing vehicles offer little in the way of extra practicality when compared with a conventional hatchback or a large estate. Many people like the raised driving position and better access that an SUV-style body provides, but another key benefit is the ability to squeeze in an extra pair of seats. Sevenseat SUVs are a distinct class in themselves, something that is hugely desirable – and often necessary – for big families. One of the most popular examples has been the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace. It’s

just been treated to a mid-life facelift, which has brought with it both styling and tech upgrades. To find out just how far-reaching those updates really are, we’ve lined up the VW against one of the cars it must beat if it wants to compete for class honours. The Kia Sorento is reasonably new on the block, too, with this fourth-generation model having made its debut in 2020. But which comes out on top? Are those extra seats really worthwhile, and does the additional space come at the expense of manoeuvrability in these cars’ usual tight urban habitats?

WE’RE testing the revised Tiguan Allspace here in mid-spec Elegance trim. Before options, this 2.0 TDI 4MOTION model costs £43,113, although the extras ﬁtted to this car, which include a tow bar, a trailer assist system that helps with parking while towing, tyre-pressure monitors and ‘Kings Red’ metallic paint, bump that number to £45,170.

THE mid-life updates to the Tiguan are subtle, and while all of them were no doubt intended to improve the car, some updates have worked better than others. The changes start at the front, where a new face features slimmer, sharper headlights that, on this Elegance trim, feature advanced LED matrix technology. Those lights neatly integrate into the wide front grille, but elsewhere, the look remains the same. While buyers will no doubt welcome the brighter lights, which are smart enough to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic, we reckon some of the changes inside have been less successful. The introductions of USB-C connections and wireless smartphone charging are great, but the move towards touchsensitive keys isn’t so pleasing. The ones on the redesigned steering wheel work fine, but those for the climate controls are far more fiddly to use than the round dials and proper buttons they’ve replaced. It’s a step backwards. Otherwise, the Tiguan’s cabin is largely similar to before. The overall design looks a little plain beside the Kia, although some might be fine with that and consider the Sorento’s cabin borderline chintzy. There’s little to separate the two in terms of perceived build quality; both are above average in this part of the market in that regard. The Tiguan Allspace is offered with a choice of two petrol and two diesel engines. The 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre TSI petrol units produce 148bhp and 187bhp respectively, but the torquey diesel units are better suited to this type of car. The range is topped by a 197bhp 2.0-litre TDI with 400Nm of torque, but here we’re driving the less potent version with 148bhp and 360Nm. This is only available with a sevenspeed dual-clutch gearbox, but with a choice of front or four-wheel drive (we’re testing the latter here, which caries a £2,000 premium over the frontdriven version). The Kia is four-wheel drive only.

BASED on our experience of this 148bhp diesel, we doubt that many people would get much benefit from opting for the more powerful TDI unit. This version hauls the Allspace along just fine; performance is decent and the engine is refined for the most part. It’s let down somewhat by the automatic gearbox, though; the transmission is slow to react when moving away from a standstill or very low speeds, which means that there’s a risk of being left floundering when pulling out of a junction in a hurry. Officially, the VW weighs 120kg less than the Kia, and that’s quite noticeable through the corners. The Tiguan turns in more keenly, and feels a little more compact on the road.

VERY few seven-seaters offer much boot space when all the chairs are occupied, but with 230 litres, the Tiguan Allspace beats the Sorento’s 187 litres. Fold the back seats (a quick and easy process, once the headrests are dropped down) and that space grows to 700 litres. Again, that’s more than the Kia’s 616-litre capacity. However, while the Sorento’s boot has a square shape and a flat floor that makes loading easy, the Tiguan’s features a slightly awkward step at its entrance, and little humps where the seats fold down. The VW’s loading floor itself is quite high, too. The central row slides back and forth, so you can choose between kneeroom or boot space in five-seat mode, or give extra room to fit an extra pair of people in the back. With the middle row all the way forward, however, it makes things very tight – something that doesn’t seem like a worthwhile compromise for anyone when the third-row seats still feel cramped for both head and kneeroom.

EURO NCAP hasn’t tested the seven-seat Tiguan Allspace, but the five-seat model’s five-star rating, which it earned in 2016, applies here. This includes an impressive 96 per cent score in the adult occupant protection category. The Sorento was tested to more recent 2020 standards, and it also scored five stars. Thanks to a long list of standard safety kit that includes driver attention warning, a forward collision avoidance assist that recognises pedestrians and cyclists, lane-follow assist, and a trailer stability system (a feature that’s optional on the VW), the Sorento scored 87 per cent in the safety assist category.

AT the pumps, the VW proved to be the cheaper to run of this pairing. During our time, we achieved 41.9mpg, not far off VW’s official WLTP-certified 42.8mpg rating, and 7mpg better than we achieved in the Sorento. Over the course of 20,000 miles, that’s the difference between paying £3,852 to fill the VW compared with £4,624 to fill the Kia. Both of these cars sit in the highest 37 per cent Benefit-in-Kind tax band, and both prove to be very expensive for company car users a result. A higherrate income tax earner should expect to front up a whopping £6,236 per year to run the Tiguan Allspace, or a nominal £17 less for the Sorento.

STYLING is subjective, but what does seem clear is that the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace is likely to appeal to those who prefer a more understated appearance, while the Kia Sorento takes a bolder approach. The Korean company has been more adventurous with its detailing – take the imposing grille up front and twin vertical strip tail-lights as examples – but the overall shape also looks more imposing and chunky beside the Tiguan, which almost looks sleek in comparison. The same goes for the cabin, where Kia’s designers have made a much more prominent feature out of the air vents, while the high and wide centre console makes you feel like you’re sitting in a much larger SUV than the VW, even though there isn’t a vast difference between them in terms of exterior dimensions. Overall there’s not much to separate these two for build or material quality. But it’s the little things, such as VW’s decision to line the door pockets with a felt-like material to stop items rattling about, that show where the German brand has paid a little more attention to detail. However, the Kia’s ergonomics are better, especially for the air-conditioning controls. While there are some touch-sensitive keys for the fan speed and direction, they’re both much larger and placed higher on the dashboard than the Tiguan’s arrangement. The temperature for both driver and passenger sides are physical rocker keys, too, so as long as you leave the system in Auto mode, a simple nudge of these switches can keep you comfy without needing to divert your gaze from the road. While electriﬁcation now forms the bulk of the Sorento range, there’s still a regular diesel workhorse to be found in the line-up, too. The 2.2-litre unit is a development of the CRDi powerplant used in the previous-generation Sorento. With 199bhp and 440Nm, it has 51bhp and 80Nm more than the Tiguan Allspace’s 2.0 TDI, but the Sorento is also 110kg heavier, so it needs the extra power.

WHILE the Sorento’s diesel is a larger-capacity unit than the Tiguan’s, it also feels less sophisticated. At idle it sounds clattery, and more vibrations reach the cabin – although admittedly it’s not a huge difference.

On paper, the Kia covers the 0-62mph benchmark in 9.1 seconds, which is 0.6 seconds quicker than the Tiguan. But the gap feels closer than that driving out in the real world.

WE’VE established that the Tiguan is marginally the better option in terms of boot space, but the Sorento is definitely the more accommodating of the two for people. That’s certainly the case in the third row, and it’s something you notice even when climbing in. The Kia’s door openings are larger and the middle row moves further forward, so it’s much easier to get into the rearmost row. Once there, the seats feel more like permanent fixtures; there’s more space than in the child-sized temporary seats found in the VW. To offer decent kneeroom in the Tiguan, you need to slide the middle row forwards to the point that the people sitting there will also start to feel squashed. Left in five-seat mode, the Sorento is more comfortable, too. Head and kneeroom are better than in its rival, and where the Tiguan has a large central hump in the floor, which forces the middleseat occupant to fight for foot space with the outer passengers, the Kia’s floor is much flatter and lower. Both of these cars are great candidates for those who want to tow a caravan or a trailer. Officially, both boast a 2.5-tonne braked trailer limit, although thanks to its extra torque, we’d recommend the Kia if you’ll frequently be hauling heavy loads.

THE Tiguan has smaller fuel bills, but the Kia recovers ground elsewhere. A key point is depreciation. After three years, the Sorento is expected to hold on to 56.2 per cent of its original value, an impressive number beside the Tiguan Allspace’s 52.9 per cent ﬁgure. In terms of cash, that’s the difference between losing £18,838 if you buy the Kia compared with £20,325 for the VW. The Kia is also slightly cheaper to service, too. Even though VW’s plan only covers two years of maintenance to the Kia’s three, it’s the latter that proves to be cheaper, by £4 each month.

KIA is keen to emphasise the importance of its electrified models, so the workhorse diesel is only offered in one trim. The midrange 3 that the diesel is paired with would be the one we’d recommend anyway, so that isn’t a problem. Standard kit is excellent. The lengthy list includes 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and indicators, leather upholstery with electrically adjustable front seats, a powered tailgate, ambient interior lighting, plus a 10.25-inch touchscreen and the digital driver’s display. Safety kit includes blind-spot warning, a semi-autonomous adaptive cruise control system, and rear selflevelling suspension – ideal for towing. Match the three-year PCP figures to the VW, and the Sorento weighs in at £660 a month – including a £750 deposit contribution from Kia. However, Kia is also currently offering the chance to finance a Sorento without any deposit at all.

Tech

Cabin quality feels fabulous, the in-car tech is among the best around, while a digital rear-view display adds to the premium feel

THE prestige of a Land Rover badge on the nose might make you think that the Discovery Sport would be beyond the reaches of buyers in the market for a VW Tiguan Allspace or a Kia Sorento. However, that’s not the case; at £42,125, the Urban Edition is right on the money Even the engine is a close match; the 201bhp 2.0-litre diesel delivers a 0-62mph time of 8.9 seconds, so it’s close to the Sorento. It even gets mild-hybrid tech to keep CO2 emissions in check, at 180g/km. In the real world, the Discovery Sport is a more reﬁned car. The engine is more muted and fewer vibrations are felt in the cabin. Combine that with a soothing ride and impressive body control, and it’s the Land Rover we’d pick for a long-distance cruise. The one caveat to that is that its third-row seats are more like the temporary solutions in the VW than the spacious chairs that you’ll ﬁnd in the Kia.

Rivals: Four alternative seven-

SEAT Tarraco MODEL: 2.0 TDI DSG 4Drive FR Sport PRICE: £44,185 ENGINE: 2.0-litre 4cyl POWER: 197bhp/400Nm

THE Tarraco is our reigning Large SUV of the Year, and its appeal lies in many areas. Mechanically, it’s quite similar to the Tiguan Allspace, so the same pros and cons apply: it gets a frugal diesel, reﬁnement is great, but the third-row seats are a little more cramped than those in the Kia. The interior feels fresher than the Tiguan’s, and the infotainment screen’s dashtop position is easier to use. Likewise with the physical climate controls, which are near-identical to the bits that VW has replaced with touch-sensitive keys. The Tarraco is sharp to drive – certainly among the more engaging options in this segment – yet isn’t uncomfortable. The key to why we rate the Tarraco so highly, though, is value for money. On a three-year PCP deal matching the one we quoted for the Tiguan Allspace Elegance we tested, it’s barely £2 per month more to get a top-spec Tarraco FR Sport with the more powerful 197bhp 2.0-litre diesel. Go for the more modest SE Tech with a 148bhp diesel and front-wheel drive, and it’s only £483 per month.

VW Tiguan Allspace vs Kia Sorento

Skoda Kodiaq MODEL: 2.0 TDI SE L Executive 4x4 PRICE: £40,935 ENGINE: 2.0-litre 4cyl POWER: 148bhp/360Nm SKODA recently treated its seven-seat SUV to a range of mid-life updates. The changes were subtle – tweaked styling, revised tech and improved safety kit – but they added a little more appeal to a car that already challenged for class honours. The Kodiaq is another contender from the VW Group stable, and as a result, it’s similar under the skin to the Tiguan and Tarraco. While the SEAT stands out with its sharp looks and drive, the Kodiaq focuses on comfort. The suspension is soft and forgiving, but the trade-off is a slightly more ﬂoaty sensation through the corners. If you want a seven-seater with a bit of pep, then the Kodiaq vRS is powered by a 242bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol. However, value for money starts to wane at this end of the line-up so we’d stick to the more affordable engines and trims. Being a Skoda, the Kodiaq is loaded with practical touches. There’s an umbrella hidden in a driver’s door recess and an ice scraper that doubles as a tyre-tread depth gauge, plus the cabin is littered with clever cubby spaces.

With the demise of the MPV, these seven-seat SUVs offer big-family space with a stylish appearance Equipment

Highlander has a generous kit list, including 20-inch wheels and leather, but it’s expensive when compared with its rivals

AT 4.9 metres, the Highlander is longer than the Sorento, so even the back row is a decent place for adults to sit. Unlike some rivals , their use only requires the slightest of compromises from those on the middle bench, which slides fore and aft by up to 180mm. If you’re carrying seven, there’s a decent 332-litre boot, too. The Highlander shares its platform with the RAV4, but its softer suspension set-up promotes a calm, sedate driving style. There’s no diesel option here, instead the Highlander uses Toyota’s well developed hybrid powertrain tech. The combination of a 2.5-litre petrol engine and an electric motor gives superior on-paper performance, but peak torque is high in the rev range and the car’s two-tonne towing capacity falls short of its rivals’. Another downside is that the Highlander is pricey; the range kicks off at just over £50,000. However, it’s the only car on this list that we’d expect to at least match the Kia for reliability, which will be reason enough for some to shortlist it.

4.1

EACH of these cars’ infotainment systems has distinct strengths and weaknesses. In the case of the Tiguan, it scores points for its loading times. The process of typing in a postcode via the on-screen keyboard and the system loading the ﬁrst route instruction took a rapid 12 seconds for the VW – half the time it took for the same process to be completed in the Kia. However, the VW’s set-up isn’t all so rapid. The screen itself, for example, is more laggy than the Kia’s in terms of touch response. While the Discover Media system isn’t the most up-to-date VW software (systems used by the latest Golf and the ID.3 are newer), in many ways this set-up is superior. The shortcut keys that ﬂank the screen help the system feel more intuitive to use, and the menu layouts are more basic – but that makes them easier to understand.

FROM 3 trim and up, the Sorento beneﬁts from a large 10-inch touchscreen display that features built-in satellite navigation. As we’ve established with the Tiguan, the Kia’s loading times are a little leisurely, but there’s no faulting the simplicity of the interface. The main screen offers shortcuts to all of the major functions, with the most important pages – mapping, radio and set-up among them – always available via touch-sensitive keys on either side of the screen. Both of these models come with a digital driver’s display. The Sorento’s is the better of the pair; not only is the 12.3-inch screen larger (although the Tiguan’s 10.25-inch display is hardly small) but its resolution also looks much sharper. As a result, it looks like a higher-quality unit; for something that you’ll spend so much time interacting with, it holds quite an inﬂuence over the overall feel of each of these cars.

IT’S not just those up front who can get warm bums; the outer passengers in the middle row get heated seats, too.

THE Sorento scores a victory, but it’s not a resounding one. Its success comes from its ability to offer space and comfort features for all three rows of occupants, while its diesel is better suited to towing than the VW’s. The interior tech and ergonomics are better than the Tiguan’s, while build quality is of a similar level. Factor in Kia’s ownership prospects, and there’s much to recommend.

LEATHER

WHILE Sorento owners get leather as standard, it’s a hefty added cost for Tiguan Allspace buyers.

2nd

IN a class where practicality is key, the VW’s more cramped rear quarters hold it back from victory. If you only intend to use those back seats very occasionally, then the VW’s better fuel economy and more agile handling mean it still deserves consideration, though. It’s not as well equipped as the Kia, but strong PCP offers mean it’s temptingly affordable right now.

SEATS THESE cars will frequently be bought by larger families, so flexibility will be very important. For those with small children, the Kia scores points over its rival because it has two extra Isofixcompatible chairs. Both third-row seats and the outer pair in the middle row use this type of fixing; in the VW, it’s only the two outer seats in the middle row that benefit. The Kia’s larger rear doors make those seats easier to install and remove, too.

Mazda CX-5

FIRST REPORT Updated family SUV makes a good ﬁrst impression as it joins our ﬂeet Pete Gibson

Pete_Gibson@autovia.co.uk

DIESEL is dead – or so we’re constantly being told. The VW Dieselgate scandal inflicted a brutal blow on this fuel’s popularity, and then the relentless push towards electrification has done the rest. With new pure-electric models arriving every day, and petrol plug-in hybrids becoming the default choice for companycar choosers trying to minimise their Benefit-in-Kind tax, is there even a place for diesel models in the market any more? It’s time to find out, because Mazda is one brand keeping the faith. The Japanese company’s forthcoming CX-60 flagship will have a brand-new, state-of-the-art diesel engine in its line-up when it arrives later this year. And in the meantime, the recently updated CX-5 family SUV range features a choice of diesel powertrains. It must be said that as Auto Express’ highest-mileage driver, I’m probably the ideal person to run a diesel vehicle. I rack up at least two or three long journeys per week, travelling across the country to photoshoots of new models or the fleet cars of my colleagues. Switching to an EV would mean hours of my week being lost

to en-route charging, and PHEVs would be pushed far beyond the comfort zone of their pure-electric range. Their real-world economy would struggle as a result. So it was with some eagerness that I rocked up at Mazda’s UK headquarters in Kent to collect the newly updated CX-5. James Crouch, the company’s senior marketing manager, was present to hand over the keys and explain some of the improvements introduced on what is a key vehicle for the company (the CX-5 accounts for more than one in four Mazdas sold in this country). The most obvious change is evident from the moment I catch a glimpse of our car: it’s the new metallic paint ﬁnish, called Zircon Sand. In reality it’s more of a light green with a bit of brown thrown in, but most people seem to like it. I’m less convinced that it’ll catch on as much as Mazda’s stunning Soul Red, which looks awesome on everything from a 2 to the 6, but at least it’s different from black and silver. Other alterations include a new front grille and revised headlight clusters, while inside there’s an updated dashboard that incorporates a larger 10.25-inch

infotainment screen. The core packaging of the car hasn’t really changed, but that’s fine, because the CX-5 has always been a proper family-sized model. There’s enough space for me and my clan at the weekends, and a boot that’s capable of swallowing my photography gear on work trips. This is not the first Mazda to have graced the Gibson driveway for a longer stint – I’ve had the 6 and, most recently, the current 3 – so even accounting for the evolution inside, there’s a pleasingly familiar feel to the CX-5’s cabin. I have noticed improvements in perceived quality, though, where the Japanese company has fitted top-notch leather on the upholstery, dialled the grade of plastics up a notch or two, and installed a solid 10-speaker Bose sound system. Mazdas are often more impressive on the road than they are in the showroom, I’d argue, and the CX-5 is already living up to that billing. I was a bit worried that after

enjoying the company’s excellent manual gearbox in those previous fleet cars, the new arrival’s six-speed automatic transmission would feel like a something of a backward step. But in fact, it seems a very good match for the diesel, with intelligent kickdowns and smooth shifts in general. It’s still too early to be thinking about economy, but this car has a claimed average fuel consumption of 46mpg and so far I’m managing just under 40mpg. I’m optimistic that as the number of longer journeys racks up, I’ll get ever closer to the official figure – and perhaps even surpass it. But if I’m to do that, I’ll need to behave myself on the B-roads – and that’s trickier than you might expect, because a well sorted, slightly firm suspension set-up gives the CX-5 much better body control than most of its rivals. Throw in strong torque and you end up with an SUV that provides a surprising amount of entertainment.

Hyundai Ioniq 5

FINAL REPORT Stylish EV shows just why it was our 2021 Car of the Year John McIlroy

John_McIlroy@autovia.co.uk @johnmcilroy

WHETHER you appreciate its styling or not, there’s no doubt that the Hyundai Ioniq 5 has a distinctive look. Gifted with a platform designed solely for electric cars, without the compromises that come with engines, Hyundai’s designers had a ﬁeld day, referencing some of the company’s earliest models and mixing cutting-edge technology with an 8-bit pixel theme. And as our reigning Car of the Year leaves us, I can’t say I’ve fallen out of love with its styling. Our example’s grey paintwork wore winter grime well, and right up to its last day with us, I still blipped the key early when approaching the vehicle at night, just to get a glimpse of the intricate ultra-thin lights that brighten the whole front bumper. It’s time to come clean, though – or perhaps, not clean – and point out the single biggest compromise that I detected during six months with the Ioniq 5: the lack of a rear wash/wipe. Our example turned up in November and even in spring, it only took a short journey on a damp road to render the rear-view mirror next to useless. Half an hour’s grime plus sunlight equals opaque glass, it seems. A rear-view camera helped

with parking, of course, but I have to admit that I yearned for a clearer view behind on the motorway, just to complete my all-round visibility when performing lane changes. As a result, we took to keeping a cloth or kitchen roll near the front door, along with a heavily used bottle of window cleaner – and the Ioniq 5 got a regular spray before trips. The design team, which presumably argued for the removal of such an ugly appendage on the rear screen, would no doubt argue that I’m nitpicking here. But I note with interest that the updated Ioniq 5, announced recently, has the option of a full-time camera whose image is displayed on a digital rear-view mirror. It looks like a cast-iron reaction to customer feedback. At least the Ioniq 5’s cabin made up for the grimy rear glass. The aforementioned bespoke EV underpinnings mean that there’s no central tunnel to worry about – so you can sweep a vacuum right across the width of the ﬂoor in the front and rear. And this helped the Hyundai to stand up to the worst abuses that family life can throw at it. Earlier this year I picked up something called a Eufy H30 – a handheld cleaner that,

I must admit, hasn’t yet featured in our product tests, but which looked handily priced on Amazon – and it gave enough suction and runtime for me to clean up dirt, small stones and the ﬂaky explosion that appeared every time my wife fed our eight-year-old a mid-journey croissant. I’d be lying if I said the whole process clawed back the amount of time I spent wiping down the rear window over the Ioniq 5’s six-month tour of duty – but it still felt like a win to do it on a single charge, and without 10 minutes of swearing at small crevices at the base of the front seats. There can be no clearer demonstration of the Hyundai’s all-round strengths than the fact that these ﬁne details are what stand out – positively and negatively – as the car leaves us. It has displayed all of the qualities that bagged it our top award last summer: comfort, space and beautifully integrated technology. And while its overall range did

take a hit in the cold winter months, the recent warmer weather has allowed the Ioniq 5 to show its prowess as a longdistance cruiser, with charging north of 220kW thrown in for rapid reﬁlls. The design, meanwhile, is still attracting looks – even though I’ve seen several Ioniq 5s on the road near my Berkshire home recently. It’s so distinctive, in fact, that while there are elements, like some of the interior ﬁnish and the aforementioned tailgate glass, that have some potential for improvement, the overall stance and look of the Ioniq 5 will prove very hard to facelift. It’s become something of a modern classic already.

Audi Q4 e-tron EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Steve Fowler couldn’t resist taking a cheeky snap of his all-electric Q4 e-tron sitting on the forecourt of a disused petrol station recently. Might this be a sign of things to come? The snap was taken following a trip to Atherstone, north of Birmingham – just over a 220-mile round-trip from Steve’s home. But with the weather improving and the range growing on the Q4, Steve managed to do the whole journey without the need to resort to the public charging network – although he did resort to the Audi’s Eco mode on the way home. In fact, with the summer sun occasionally shining, a full charge has been showing a potential 277-mile range on the Audi’s digital display – pretty much in line with Audi’s official claim. And how quickly that range shrinks depends on where Steve drives: on the motorway it will go down pretty quickly, but around town he’s seen the estimated range figure actually grow slightly – for a short while, at least. Either way, Steve’s happy with the Audi’s efficiency and the way it drives.

Steve Fowler Editor in chief

www.autoexpress.co.uk

Verdict HYUNDAI really has stolen a march on mainstream rivals with the Ioniq 5. It’s more spacious than many and has better tech than most. Over six months it has more than proven itself a worthy Car of the Year.

THERE’S a new addition to the Auto Express fleet, but apart from the colour, it might look familiar. That’s because our Nissan Qashqai has been swapped for… another Nissan Qashqai. The reason? Having struggled with the fuel economy and ride quality on our top-spec Tekna+ model, web producer Pete Baiden was keen to test a more modest manual version to see if it’s an improvement. So Nissan sent over a replacement for him to try for a month. Despite the swap, Pete hasn’t noticed much difference with the fuel economy and is still averaging around 35mpg. And while the smaller 19-inch wheels have improved the ride, making town driving more enjoyable, even small bumps still send a shudder through the cabin. Pete feels the manual gearbox is the better option (and it’s cheaper), but his wife prefers the CVT auto, because it’s easier in traffic.

HOT KIT “A set of tyres uses yarn created from around 40 recycled PET bottles”

Tyres with the new ContiRe.Tex tech stand out thanks to a special marking on the sidewall

products@autoexpress.co.uk

CONTI HITS THE BOTTLE FOR ALL-NEW TYRE TECH

NEW PRODUCT Continental ContiRe.Tex Prices: N/A Contact: continental.co.uk

IN what it believes is a first, Continental has started production of tyres using recycled polyester yarn from used PET bottles. The ContiRe.Tex tech was revealed last year, and it features in 10 sizes of the popular PremiumContact 6 and EcoContact 6 ranges. The material replaces conventional polyester in the carcass, and a set of tyres uses yarn created by around 40 bottles. The bottles come from regions without a closed recycling loop and the material is created without any intermediate chemical treatment. Used PETs are mechanically cleaned, have their tops removed and then are shredded and turned in to granules. The final step is to spin them into polyester yarn. The technology is already being used in the tyres Continental supplies for the Extreme E all-electric race series and is available now in its road offerings. Five popular sizes in the EcoContact 6 range can be bought with the technology, covering 15 and 16-inch rims plus one 18-inch version. The PremiumContact 6 range also has five sizes with Conti Re.Tex in big-selling options for 17 to 19-inch rims. Both lineups include an XL version for heavier cars. Tyres with the new material have a Contains Recycled Material marking.

I LET the rear wiper on my car get so old that it failed and now there are scratches where it has been working. I tried removing them with a glass polish, but it has made little difference. Is there a solution or do I just have to live with them? Mark Jones, E-mail IF you find hand polishing is not having much of an effect, then a pad on a drill or polisher is the next step. A powered tool speeds up progress, whether on paint or glass, and can make a big difference on the latter, which is much harder. There are kits with all you need apart from the drill. Professional fixes are also available.

Specific wax for black car?

WE haven’t done specific tests of conventional and dark waxes, and their effect on black cars, but the paint should always be properly prepared before applying a wax or sealant. With a good finish, any decent wax will seal it in. If you want to deepen the colour, a black wax may help, but for protection a universal blend should be fine.

Advice on tyre choice SEVERAL of my neighbours have switched to allseason tyres and are trying to persuade me to do the same. I understand the benefits in snow, but is there no downside to swapping to them? Paul Langham, E-mail ALL-season tyres are a compromise – to get snow grip you give up performance elsewhere, primarily the dry. Michelin’s CrossClimate has cut the loss in dry grip while staying good on snow, but there’s still a loss. Our tests show summer tyres to be about 10 per cent better in dry braking than an all-season equivalent. They also have an edge in wet braking at typical UK temperatures.

Mascot collection at Beaulieu is a glass act THE National Motor Museum has bought a collection of 28 Lalique glass car mascots, becoming the first publicly owned collection and the only one viewable in a museum outside of Japan. It was accumulated over six years, starting with a glass perch fish and including everything from a delicate dragonfly to a falcon mascot. They were purchased with grants from the Art Fund, the National Heritage Memorial Fund and Arts Council England. The collection will be on display in Beaulieu’s Luxury of Motoring gallery, with examples of the Spirit of Ecstasy and the Montagu mascot, The Whisper.

Goodwood Revival’s race line-up revealed

Price: £5.95 Contact: diamondbrite.co.uk

WHEN you’ve got places to go and people to see but your car needs cleaning, a rinse aid can speed up the process. There’s now a new contender from Diamondbrite, called Rinse & Shine, which aims to reduce the time needed to dry the car after it has been washed and rinsed. Just spray Rinse & Shine on wet panels and it will bead the water, helping droplets to run off the paintwork. The remaining drops can be quickly removed with a microfibre drying towel. The formula, which was developed at Diamondbrite’s Loughborough laboratory, also aims to leave a shine and a hydrophobic coating to keep your car cleaner for longer. A 500ml bottle costs £5.95, while five litres are £19.95.

Nilfisk’s Core 150-10 has a wheeled trolley, with storage for its tools

Price: From £263.98 Contact: nilfisk.com

MULTIPLE test winner Nilfisk has added two new pressure washers to its line-up that are aimed at the upper end of the market. The starter Core range has been extended at the top with the 150-10 model, which retains the series’ compact design and built-in reel for the 10-metre non-kink hose. Its 2,000W motor delivers a maximum 150Bar pressure (115Bar working) and has three power levels, offering 100, 80 and 60 per cent options, to suit the job in hand and to prevent damage to delicate surfaces. The 150-10 is supplied with two clickand-connect nozzles, plus a lance-mounted detergent bottle. These are stored on the wheeled unit, helped by a quick-release coupling for the lance and hose. There’s also a fold-down handle if storage space is restricted. The 150-10 costs £243.98. If you demand a lot from a pressure washer, Nilfisk has added to its Premium range with the 200-15 model, which costs £484.49. This comes fully assembled and has a 2,900W brushless induction motor and an aluminium pump that delivers a maximum 200Bar pressure. The level of pressure can be adjusted to suit the task and it is delivered through a 15-metre steel-armed hose, which is stored on the built-in reel. Two nozzles and a Super Foamer detergent bottle are included, and these are stored on the unit, which has a telescopic handle and large wheels.

NEW PRODUCT Ring MAGflex Headtorch 250 RIL6400

Lola GT John Starkey (Veloce Publishing, veloce.co.uk) Price: £135 Rating:

Price: £34.99 Power: Li-Poly 1.5Ah Rating: Contact: 0113 213 2000, ringautomotive.com

THE chunky Ring features modes of 140 and 250 lumen, with both suitably bright, white and very wide. They were perfect indoors, but less so outside, where the beam was all out at around 10m. We liked the large on/off button and the hands-free operation, which works from 10cm to avoid accidental triggers. It can be used with both light levels. Impact protection and moisture resistance are good, with IK07 and IP54 ratings. The very useful six-hour run time is in part due to the lower output plus the larger battery. With a USB-C cable it took only 3.5 hours to charge. We’d have liked a zoom and, for outdoor use, a more powerful beam, but it did very well against a star performer.

THE Lola GT isn’t as well known as the Ford GT40 it inspired, but this is a really interesting read. It describes the car’s genesis, focusing on one of just three Lola Mk VIs built. Packed with photos, including some never before seen from Ford’s archives, it’s well worth a read for anybody into racing history.

Find It! On a car journey

Ring aims to set shining example to its rivals Dave Pollard

FOR garage work or nighttime repairs, a head torch is one of the most useful tools, shining where you’re looking and leaving both hands free. Now there’s a new option – the MAGflex 250, which is part of Ring ’s new line-up of workshop lights. Does it move the game on? To find out, we put it up against the winner of our last test, the Nightsearcher ZOOM 580R. We tested them under the bonnet and around the garage as well as outside,

assessing distance performance, ease of use and versatility, along with functions such as zoom, light modes and vertical adjustment. Given that they would often be under attack from the elements, a certification against the ingress of dust and moisture is a definite plus. The new Ring was well specified with two power modes and good protection, but with two battery options, four beam settings and a zoom function, the Nightsearcher stays at the top.

BEST BUY Nightsearcher ZOOM 580R Rechargeable Spot-to-Flood Head Torch Price: £37.99 Power: Li-poly 0.8Ah Rating: Contact: 02392 389774, nightsearcher.com

REVISITING our champion reminded us how accomplished it is. Light, comfortable and with an overhead strap, it offered four beams delivering 580, 270,and 30 lumen plus a 10-lumen warm white for reading. We liked the zoom function, which covered all bases from really wide flood to narrow spot. The 2.5-hour runtime on full power was impressive and 5.3 hours for the 270-lumen beam compared very well with the Ring. And if the Li-poly battery goes flat, AAA batteries can be used. IP64 rated against moisture and dust, its five-year warranty and a very competitive price helped it retain its title.

A PERFECT addition to your car journeys to keep kids busy. It’s a combined i-Spy/activity book – once the kids have spotted something, they’ll find an activity and some facts about it. With charming illustrations, it’s long enough for two short journeys or one long slog, and cheap enough that you won’t mind it being ruined with pens. Highly recommended.

THERE’S an interesting selection of cars here that we’ve never seen in a racing title before – the novelty of racing a Paykan, Iran’s national car, isn’t to be missed. Otherwise the game’s very similar to a Need For Speed title, with car customisation and various challenges. It’s not sophisticated, but the racing can be pretty good and the models are well detailed.

PRODUCTS Dash cams Tom Barnard

SOCIAL media channels are flooded with uploaded dash-cam videos, showing everything from meteor storms to cats on pedestrian crossings. But they have a serious role to play in the event of an accident or crime, often saving hours of wrangling with insurance companies and paying for themselves many times over. In the event of an incident, then, any camera will be better than none at all,

but there is a huge choice facing the firsttime buyer. The quality of the footage captured also varies massively from model to model, while the specifications and features offered can be confusing. Do you need filters, hardwires, Alexa and WiFi? Although there are cameras that cost as little as £15 and as much as £1,000, we have gathered the eight best options in the most popular price range, from £60 to £300, to see what works and what matters.

2022

BEST BUY IF your priority above all else with a dash cam is to have the very best-quality footage, the Ring isn’t going to provide it. But for a package that costs less than £100, it offers an unbeatable combination of features and value. The compact RSDC3000 has a resolution of 1296 pixels, giving it a useful step up in quality from the 1080p resolution of most cameras in this price range. It dealt well with changing light conditions, too. It also has GPS tracking data to log speed and location, and a two-inch screen to make navigating menus easier. It will connect to Ring’s app using a WiFi connection to view and download files.

Dash cams

PRODUCTS

How we tested them

THE most important feature of any dash camera is to capture clear footage in a wide variety of weather and light conditions. To test this, we drove a route in bright sunlight and at night. Most cameras have an app for viewing footage, so this was used, along with a check for clarity on a larger computer screen. The greatest importance was placed on being able to read registration numbers clearly in all conditions. Finally, we took value for money and additional useful features into account. Bear in mind that some cameras have an SD card included in the package. If they don’t, then don’t forget to budget between £10 and £20 for something suitable to store footage on.

“Most cameras have an app for viewing footage, so this was used, along with a check for clarity on a larger computer screen” Kenwood DRV A601W Price: £199.95 (including 64GB memory card) Rating: Footage quality: 4K Contact: kenwood-electronics.co.uk

Nextbase 622GW Price: £249 (plus memory card) Rating: Footage quality: 4K Contact: nextbase.com

RECOMMENDED

2022

IN terms of footage quality, the Nextbase 622GW is still the benchmark for dash cams. It has the clearest images in all conditions, even compared with rivals we’ve tried costing twice as much. The 622GW also has some interesting – if gimmicky – extra features included, such as What3Words location data and Alexa voice activation, which work better in theory than they do in practice. But we can’t ignore that the Nextbase’s price has risen by £30 since it won our last test, so adding extras such as an SD card and a rear camera will take the total price to £319. It’s still the best cam, but you pay for it.

www.autoexpress.co.uk

2022

KENWOOD’S range-topping 4K camera almost matched the Nextbase 622GW for footage quality, but can’t quite repeat the image stabilisation in darker conditions, especially on rougher roads. It also has to make do without the Nextbase’s Alexa and What3Words features, but in exchange it costs less than £200, and that includes a 64GB memory card. You can also buy the Kenwood as part of a bundle that includes a hardwire kit, an SD card and a rear camera for the same price as the basic Nextbase 622.

PRODUCTS Dash cams Kenwood DRV A501W Price: £139.95 (including 16GB memory card) Rating: Footage quality: 1440p Contact: kenwood-electronics.co.uk

IF you don’t need the full 4K resolution quality, but want a step up from 1080p, Kenwood’s A501W offers all of the useful functionality and features of the company’s A601W camera (see page 59), at a usefully lower price. The £139.95 cost includes a 16GB SD memory card, too, but what lifts the Kenwood above similarly priced rivals is the inclusion of a polarising filter as standard. This works like sunglasses in bright conditions and noticeably reduces the glare on footage. Factor in the camera’s WiFi, GPS and magnetic mount and it makes the A501W a decent package.

Ring RSDC4000 Price: £99.99 (plus SD card) Rating: Resolution: 1440p Contact: ringautomotive.com

RING’S range-topping DC4000 lacks a screen, which is a feature we always appreciate on a dash cam, because it makes the device far easier to set up and to check footage. But we can almost forgive it, because connecting the camera to the Ring app is simple and means the RSDC4000 is tiny. This could be a real bonus if you have a shallow windscreen and want to hide the cam behind the mirror. The footage can’t challenge the 4K cameras and lacks the detail of the Kenwood’s 1440P A501W, too, but the Ring is good value, even taking into account the lack of an SD card.

VANTRUE X4S Price: £169.99 (plus SD card) Rating: Resolution: 4K Contact: amazon.co.uk/vantrue

THE VANTRUE is the cheapest way we could find to get full 4K dashcam footage, and the X4S also has a three-inch rear screen to view it on. As you’d expect from a dash cam at this price level, there’s a WiFi connection and a simple app to download and manage your video. But there are a few surprising omissions, too, the biggest being a lack of GPS location and speed stamps. To add these features, you must buy a module that costs an extra £23.99. That, plus an SD card, will take the total price to the same as the superior Kenwood 601.

Garmin Dash Cam 57 Price: £129.99 (including 16GB memory card) Rating: Resolution: 1440p Contact: garmin.com

THIS compact Garmin 57 has the usual GPS, a neat screen and app, but it also has a couple of innovative gadgets that we really liked the sound of. The first of these functions is the option to use voice activation to save clips, and the second is the ability to connect to a WiFi hotspot and view the camera’s feed even when you are away from the car. Unfortunately, neither of these features worked smoothly in our tests, making it difficult to justify the extra cost over other the 1440p cameras here.

Mio C312 Price: £59 (plus SD card) Rating: Footage quality: 1080p Contact: halfords.com

THE Mio has two big points in its favour: the price and the size. The downside is that the C312 lacks features, too, with no GPS, smartphone link or other useful gadgets. It does have a two-inch screen, however, which makes it easy to navigate menus and check the camera is pointing the right way. But that screen is also a hindrance because it is permanently on, which can prove distracting, especially at night. The footage also suffers in the dark. While the Mio will capture acceptable detail during daylight hours, its tiny lens struggles at night.

“It does have a two-inch screen, however, which makes it easy to navigate menus and check the camera is pointing the right way”

Verdict WHILE the Nextbase 622GW still sets the benchmark in terms of the quality of its footage, a price rise means it is starting to look expensive, especially when rival Kenwood is dialling up the value. It’s enough to see the Nextbase knocked off the top spot by a newcomer in the form of the Ring RSDC3000. It will cost less than £100 even with the additional expense of an SD card, yet it has all of the features we think are essential in a camera. The RSDC3000 also takes surprisingly good-quality footage, too. 1. Ring RSDC3000 2. Nextbase 622GW 3. Kenwood A601W

I can’t gloss over the paint problems with my new car WE collected our brand-new car, only to find it had paint defects and a scratch.

YOU TELL US Big-selling supermini is cheap to run and safe, but the Ford isn’t without its faults

IF the dealer is being helpful, then you may wish to ask your salesperson what their next course of action is going to be. It might be that they can identify another car for you. If the damage to the specific car you ordered is only cosmetic, perhaps this could be repaired with a respray and/or some machine polishing. A written complaint to the manufacturer and the Motor Ombudsman may be another option.

DEPENDING on how confident you are tackling the issue yourself and how big the damage is, a home dent-pulling kit might be the cheapest option.

Quick question about speed limits when using a roofbox I AM considering adding a roofbox to my estate car, which is already fitted with roof rails. Are there any other considerations I need to make? Specifically, I’m wondering if it will affect what speed I can drive at. Paul Richmond, Telephone

FITTING a roofbox to your car doesn’t affect legal speed limits. When you purchase the box, however, check what the manufacturer’s recommendations are. It may be that they don’t advise travelling faster than 80mph, for example, which may present an issue if you drive in a country with a motorway speed limit higher than that of the UK. As a general rule in this country, however, you should be all right.

ALFA Romeo’s history spans more than a century, and during that time it has built a sporting reputation, despite the fact that it hasn’t actually made that many dedicated sports cars. The vehicles which established its credentials have largely been hatchbacks, saloons or estates with a sporting edge. What you previously couldn’t find in Alfa’s back catalogue was a mass-produced mid-engined sports car, a situation rectified by the arrival of the 4C in 2013. Tipping the scales at just over 900kg, the 4C is fast, agile and frugal, despite packing a mere 1,742cc four-cylinder engine. Now, three years after 4C production ended, it’s already a bona-fide classic.

History

THE 4C concept was shown in 2011, while deliveries of the production car began in 2014. The first 1,000 4Cs were Launch Editions, with 400 allocated for Europe, Africa and the Middle East, 500 for North America and 100 for everywhere else. In summer 2015, the 4C Spider arrived with faired-in xenon lights (from then optional on the coupé), an upgraded hi-fi and an optional transmission air intake for improved cooling, designed for track days. At the same time, the coupé was updated with revised front dampers and strengthened panels on either side of the engine bay. In 2016 the £67,505 50th Anniversary Spider went on sale, limited to 50 examples. Offered in red, yellow or white and with no mechanical upgrades, there was a carbon-fibre surround for the instruments, 10-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels and a numbered plaque on the dash.

Driveshafts The spider joints can fail on high-mileage cars. Shafts can be replaced individually, but budget around £350 per side for repairs.

Paint The thin plastic panels flex, damaging the paintwork. The paint also chips very easily, so a layer of special protection film is recommended.

Alfa Romeo 4C

GEARBOX Push-button selector is augmented by steering wheel paddles for manual shifts. DNA rocker switch adjusts 4C’s responses, although early cars were unruly in all settings

Romeo 4C Visibility All-round visibility isn’t good, and the earliest 4Cs weren’t fitted with rear parking sensors. From the end of 2015, this became a no-cost option.

www.autoexpress.co.uk/driver-power WITH only a handful of cars sold each year, there was no way that the 4C was ever going to make it into our Driver Power surveys. Indeed, you could be forgiven for thinking niche maker Alfa Romeo would never feature, but the Giulietta hatchback came 17th (out of 75) in our 2017 used survey, eighth the next year and 76th in ’19. Meanwhile, the Giulia saloon came third in our 2018 and 2019 new-car surveys, and the Alfa brand came ninth out of 30 in 2020.

YOUR VIEW ADAM Hoult from Lincoln bought his 2016 4C Spider in 2019. He says: “It’s a toy that does 2,000 miles each year, which is normal in 4C circles. They aren’t comfortable or practical enough for everyday use, but they’re great on quiet roads. An independent specialist maintains my car, which keeps running costs sensible. It has fitted a few small upgrades, but even in standard form the 4C is phenomenal.”

FROM £30,000 Stunning looks mark mid-engined sports car out, while aftermarket tweaks boost car’s handling Expert’s verdict Tristan Shale-Hester Deputy consumer ed WE weren’t massive fans of the 4C when we first reviewed it. While we approved of its stunning exterior design, fantastic exhaust note and steering feedback, it didn’t handle as well as we expected, the interior build quality didn’t impress us and we felt the lack of a manual gearbox was a mistake. If you do have your heart set on a 4C, our advice would be to drive key rivals from the likes of Lotus and Porsche before putting your hand in your pocket.

DETAILS Lightweight alloy wheels were an inch larger on the rear, while the carbon-fibre wing mirror housings and those distinctive headlights made for talking points

Common faults

WE don’t have any Driver Power data for the 4C, and no owners have reported issues to us. The fact this sports car has never been recalled is a good sign, but it is still advisable to check any example you look at for signs it has been well cared for.

VALUES of 4Cs dropped to their lowest in about 2018, when you could pick up an early car for as little as £25,000 if it had covered a high mileage (30,000 miles). Very few 4Cs have been driven that much, though; many have yet to reach 10,000 miles. The cheapest car we found was a 15,000-mile 16-plate Spider with the Race package for £45,000. Two-thirds of the cars we found for sale were opentopped. Most of the 4Cs that we found were priced between £45,000 and £50,000, but the most expensive one had an asking price of £61,995. This was a 4C Spider on a 19-plate, finished in pearlescent white and with only 500 miles on the clock.

ALL 4Cs registered from 1 April 2017 cost £165 a year to tax, except in years two to six when they’re £520 a year.

THE Alfa Romeo 4C needs to be serviced every 12 months or 12,000 miles, with a five-year or 60,000-mile cycle in place for maintenance. The first service is pegged at £210; this is effectively just an oil and filter change and an inspection. Services two and four are priced at £528, while the third service costs £950; the big one is the fifth service which is a hefty £1,257. This high cost is down to the fact that the midmounted engine is fitted with a cambelt, which has to be replaced every five years or 60,000 miles; on its own this job is priced at £627. The brake fluid needs to be replaced every other year, but this cost is taken care of in services two and four. There are lots of independent Alfa Romeo specialists who can help to shave the maintenance costs. The Alfa Workshop in Royston, Herts, is one such example that can help you get the most from the 4C.

Interior

THE 4C’s intent is clear as soon as you climb inside. The stripped-out cabin shows how important light weight was to the 4C’s designers, but while things are basic, the seats are very supportive and the dash is easy to navigate. Getting in and out is awkward because of the wide sills and there are some cheap-looking materials in evidence, too, but the 4C’s cabin still feels special. It’s strictly a two-seater, practicality is at a premium, and so is boot space, with just 110 litres at your disposal. Even the stereo is a no-cost option, so make sure look out for this if you want your Alfa to feel a little less spartan.

Recalls ALFA Romeo has never recalled the 4C officially, but when the first cars arrived in the UK it was clear that there were some dynamic shortcomings with this model, such as fidgety suspension and tramlining on bumpy UK roads. As a result, official dealers made some tweaks to early cars to make sure that they handled as well as possible under the circumstances. This entailed adjusting the suspension geometry, strengthening the rear wings with aluminium straps, fitting a larger battery and updating the software for both the engine and transmission. Since none of these fixes were for anything safety-related, there was no formal recall notice, but franchised dealers were expected to make these tweaks in a bid to make the 4C deliver on Alfa Romeo’s promise of a sensational driving experience.

Which one?

YOUR budget will possibly dictate which 4C you buy; it’s not as though there’s a large number of them for sale. There’s no reason to favour the coupé over the Spider, and all 4Cs are essentially the same mechanically. Standard equipment was focused on performance instead of luxury, so although Alfa Romeo included electric windows and mirrors, air-con was initially a no-cost option; it soon became standard-fit. Some cars came with a Racing Pack, which adds recalibrated suspension, a sports exhaust, stickier tyres on 18 and 19-inch wheels front and rear, replacing the standard 17 and 18-inch alloys. While this pack is desirable, a few mods by independent specialist The Alfa Workshop will transform the 4C’s dynamics: an engine remap, some suspension geometry revisions and revised brake pads all help.

Alternatives

THE most obvious rivals to the 4C are the Lotus Elise and Exige, which share the same formula of lightweight construction and a mid-engined four-cylinder engine. Earlier Elises were budget sports cars, but these

www.autoexpress.co.uk

COMFORT While the seats are good, a lack of sound deadening in the cabin and firm suspension mean the 4C is best suited to short trips

PRACTICALITY Two-seater cockpit is a struggle to get in and out of, but figurehugging sports seats hold you in place British two-seaters got steadily more expensive and sophisticated over time. In theory the Porsche Boxster and Cayman are rivals, but they’re much more civilised and nothing like as hardcore. However, they’re similar money, sensational to drive, well built and are much more usable. Another hardcore driver’s car that focuses on driver engagement over practicality is the Caterham Seven, but this is arguably even less usable than the Alfa Romeo.

Verdict

THE 4C is a fabulous-looking car, although a few subtle tweaks are needed to significantly improve its dynamic ability, especially where early models are concerned. It was never a bargain, but has proved to be one of those rare cars that became an instant classic as soon as it was revealed. It was always going to be a low-volume halo model, and sure enough, since the last 4C was sold in 2019, values have started to creep up. Most owners will admit that their cars are

best suited to only occasional use, just from a comfort and practicality point of view. But the 4C is a car that will take track use in its stride, and it’s also inherently strong. There is plenty to like about these sensational-looking machines, but if you’re tempted, be sure to invest in a professional inspection to make sure you buy a good one.

Mild-hybrid diesel or full-hybrid petrol power? We weigh up two options

AS the car industry hurtles towards an all-electric age, there are some tricky decisions to be made for those not yet willing to commit to a full EV. In the interim, there’s a baffling array of electrified options out there. Do you go diesel or petrol? Mild hybrid or full hybrid? Or maybe you should plump for a plug-in model? The Volvo XC60 and Lexus NX represent two very different approaches to electrification, and both should be on your shortlist if you’re after a used premium mid-sized SUV. The Volvo offers diesel mild-hybrid technology and a practical, stylish body. It’s a relaxing car on the move,

www.autoexpress.co.uk

but the full-hybrid, petrol-powered NX could have it beaten in this regard. Electric power plays a bigger role in the full-hybrid Lexus than in the Volvo, and the NX cuts a bold, angular stance on the road. It’s very well built, too, but the question is whether it has the tools required to topple the XC60. The Japanese manufacturer would certainly hope so, having been using hybrid technology in its models for the best part of two decades. However, the fresher Volvo certainly has a lot going for it across the board,

making this used-car twin test a close-run competition. When we put these two upmarket competitors against each other as new-car propositions, we decided the faster and more efficient Volvo was the better bet, but there are different questions to ask when considering them as second-hand options. Read on for our assessment of which used model is best.

Stylish Swedish SUV is the more rounded package for family-car buyers

B4 (D) AWD

FOR

Comfortable ride over most surfaces, practical boot capacity, efficient mildhybrid engine

AGAINST

Clunky infotainment, unpleasantly gruff engine noise at higher revs damages refinement

WITH its crisp Scandinavian lines and ‘Thor’s hammer’ headlights, the XC60 makes a good first impression. It made its debut in 2017, and time has been kind to Volvo’s baby XC90. It’s still among the smartest SUVs around, and one of the most chilled out on the road. The steering is light and the suspension is supple, flowing over bumps more delicately than the Lexus. It’s not very direct or engaging, but the soft set-up suits the mild-hybrid powertrain. While Volvo’s diesel motor gives better performance than the Lexus, the gearbox can sometimes hold on to ratios for too long, allowing a diesel grumble into the cabin. The engine is assisted by a 48V starter/ generator, which allowed the Volvo to sip less fuel than the Lexus in our hands. It achieved 41.2mpg, compared with the Lexus’s 34.5mpg figure. The extra boost from the electrical set-up isn’t particularly noticeable under acceleration, though. The XC60’s cabin is attractive, with lots of leather trim and high-quality plastics. The touchscreen is slicker than the Lexus’s system, but it still feels dated and can be unresponsive to the touch.

Verdict

Volvo XC60 MILD-hybrid tech lifts the already appealing 4x4 XC60. It’s stylish and versatile enough for family duties, with stronger efficiency than the Lexus making it the better used buy.

Lexus NX

300h AWD

Niggles mean well built and distinctive model takes second place to the XC60

THE Lexus NX 300h hit showrooms eight years ago. It looked radical then, and still does. Where the Volvo adopts a suave, sophisticated style, you’d struggle to find a soft curve anywhere along the Lexus’s bodywork. It’s certainly striking, particularly with its gaping spindle grille and razor-like running lights. Due to its age, the hybrid powertrain isn’t cutting edge. It combines a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for 195bhp, and while it provides lots of performance, it’s slower and thirstier than the Volvo. The CVT automatic gearbox can cause revs to soar under acceleration, which can spoil refinement, so it’s best to make smooth progress. Do that and the NX is perfectly pleasant, although it can’t quite match the XC60 for comfort. It counters with the potential for electric running around town for very short periods. Neither car excites in corners, but the Lexus is particularly susceptible to roll and isn’t as settled as the Volvo. Cabin quality is a match for the XC60’s, with a leather-trimmed dash and decent plastics. But the ergonomics are confusing in some areas and the infotainment system can be baffling.

Verdict

Lexus NX THE NX is a step closer to full-electrification than the Volvo, but its older powertrain tech falls short in performance and efficiency. It’s still a distinctive, well built SUV, though.

ROAD TAX: When a car is first registered, its first year’s road tax is included in the price. This is emissions-based, and adds anything from zero on electric cars to £2,365 for vehicles emitting over 255g/km of CO2. After 12 months, it’s the owner’s responsibility to tax their vehicle, and the rate depends on the fuel used:

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.

PERFORMANCE: This is the manufacturer’s claimed acceleration time for a car, and is measured from 0-60mph or 0-62mph (0-100kph), in seconds. ECONOMY/EMISSIONS/RANGE: Combined WLTP economy in miles per gallon, emissions in grams per kilometre of CO2 and maximum claimed range for EVs. Figures are achieved in the latest WLTP tests, but will vary according to equipment and are unlikely to be representative of everyday efficiency.

FORMULA E moves onto familiar territory for round six of the season, returning to the streets of Monte Carlo for the fifth time in the sport’s brief history. The 2020/21 event saw the all-electric racers fight it out around the full 2.07-mile circuit used by Formula One for the first time. In previous seasons, a truncated version was used, which missed out the climb towards Casino Square, plus the iconic Grand Hotel Hairpin and tunnel. Formula E’s return to the principality comes at a time when this season’s championship battle is really hotting up. Just four points separate the first three in the driver’s standings, and drivers from six different teams make up the top six. The top three are proving that consistency is key in the 2021/22 title fight. Current series leader and double Formula E champ Jean-Eric Vergne, second-placed Robin Frijns of Envision Racing, and Mercedes driver

80 27 April 2022

Stoffel Vandoorne, in third, are all yet to win a race this year, but regular strong points finishes have seen them rise to the top. Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans will be heading into Monaco with sky-high confidence after winning both rounds of the double-header round in Rome last time out. The Kiwi came into the Italian leg of the championship with just one point to his name, but at the scene of both his own – and Jaguar’s – first Formula E win, he put in two phenomenal performances. He dominated the first Rome round, winning the race by almost six seconds after fighting through from ninth on the grid. Dutchman Frijns finished in second, with ex-McLaren F1 star Vandoorne in third. Round five was a much more tense affair. A pair of safety cars, first caused by a spin from Mahindra’s Alexander Sims, and a second for a clash between Sam Bird and Nick Cassidy, resulted in the latter’s race ending in the wall. Evans made use of a late

Attack Mode power boost to work his way into the lead, and just hold off the hardcharging Vergne to the finish line. The two wins propelled Evans right back into the title fight, and he now sits in fourth place. The victories jumped him ahead of the previous title leader; Rockit Venturi Racing’s Eduardo Mortara had a disastrous Rome E-Prix, scoring just six points in the first race and crashing out of the second. “We haven’t had a good start to the season,” said Evans, following the first of his wins. “We didn’t have the speed, but the team has worked so hard and changed tack. The car was perfect, I could hardly believe it, but it’s great we had the pace again. I love this track and the city; it suits my driving style really well and with the car like it was, it makes life much easier. It felt amazing.” Vergne, meanwhile, was left a little frustrated by strategic calls by his team that he labelled “confusing”. The Frenchman took pole position in round five, proving

“Evans dominated the first Rome round, winning by almost six seconds after fighting through from ninth on the grid”

that one-lap pace is there, but timings of his Attack Mode activation saw him lose the lead. He’s keen for his team to push the car further ahead for Monaco, realising that he did not have the long-distance speed to keep with Evans and Jaguar. “I think we’re happy with [second place], but it’s not good enough,” Vergne said. “We need to find more pace in the car if we want to win races. We’re going to be pushing hard for Monaco, to be the fastest car for once.” Three of this year’s leading quartet – Vergne, Frijns and Evans – also finished in the top four in Monaco last year. The 2020/21 winner was Vergne’s DS Techeetah team mate, Antonio Felix Da Costa, who finds himself a lowly 12th in the overall standings after an inconsistent start to his current Formula E campaign. However, with 11 rounds still to go this season, including double-header races in Berlin, New York, London and Seoul, the title is still completely wide open. The same applies in the team standings, too. Currently, 2020/21 champions Mercedes lead the way with 94 points, but hold a slim nine-point lead over Porsche, with Techeetah close behind, on 80 points.

Indy 500 test is rosy for leader Newgarden THE Indycar circus got its first taste of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2022 during a two-day test ahead of the flagship Indy 500 on 29 May.

Pedrosa is eying up four-wheel switch DANI Pedrosa is weighing up a switch to four-wheeled racing. The ex-MotoGP star, who won three World Championship titles across 125cc and 250cc classes, is again competing in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe series this year. The Spaniard says his final decision will come down to how much of his time will be dedicated to his role as a test rider for the factory KTM outfit. He last competed in MotoGP as a wildcard for the Austrian team last year at the Styrian GP, where he finished 10th.

Spa revving up as dress rehearsal for Le Mans ROUND two of the 2022 World Endurance Championship takes place at the stunning Spa-Francorchamps circuit on 7 May. The six-hour event is a great dress rehearsal for the flagship Le Mans 24 Hours event; the high average speeds and long straights are an ideal place from which to work out who’s likely to be fighting for honours on 22 June. The scene of the first round was very different, held at the bumpy, twisty Sebring International Raceway in Florida. The race was won comfortably by the number 36 Alpine A480-Gibson driven by Nicolas Lapierre, Matthieu Vaxivière and André Negrão. Running to the grandfathered LMP1 regulations, their car was rarely challenged throughout, and eventually took victory as the race was red flagged early due to thunderstorms in the area.

Porsche resulted in a collision for José María López in the number seven car. After getting back on track he carried too much speed in his damaged GR010 Hybrid and careered into the tyre wall in a huge shunt that brought out the red flags. The race went better for teammates Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa. While a second-place finish looked respectable on paper,

the trio rarely showed the race pace to challenge for victory. The battle for LMP2 honours is set to continue into Spa. United Autosports took first blood in Sebring; Paul di Resta,

Oliver Jarvis and Josh Pierson ran as high as second overall in the early stages, but eventually took fourth and a class win ahead of the WRT entry driven by Robin Frijns, Sean Gelael and René Rast.

I KNOW a bit about languishing in traffic jams. For starters, there are my miserable memories of being trapped in one all day and night – thanks to striking French workers who set fire to a wall of tyres blocking the main, and only, road out of town. Then there was the international incident I got caught up in while competing in the Paris-Beijing Rally and attempting to drive out of Kazakhstan into China… as you do! I and other drivers in the bonkers event weren’t allowed to cross the remote border until we acquired our ‘legally necessary’ Chinese number plates. We waited for so long to submit our paperwork and receive our local plates that our queuing cars doubled as our makeshift hotel rooms. But it gets worse. In mid-April and back on home soil, I can honestly say that I got caught up in some of Motoring’s most outspoken the worst traffic jams I’ve ever witnessed anywhere and opinionated columnist sounds off on this planet – and I’ve driven almost a million miles across 70-plus countries on six continents. Despite travelling outside the rush hours on the In terms of new-car day before the inevitably busy Good Friday, my quality, we’ve never planned drive from southern to northern England was sabotaged. How so? Anti-roads/anti-oil had it so good. But in protestors in and around London, reported queues terms of fit-for-purpose of almost 40 miles on routes to and from a Dover roads, we’ve never area crippled (for a month or more) by P&O, plus a closed tunnel at the gridlocked, hell-on-Earth had it so bad Dartford Crossing. I achieved average speeds of circa 100 metres an hour. The congestion was so bad, unacceptable and hopeless that I saw and photographed some car occupants abandoning their cars and continuing on foot. Me? After half a day of burning fuel while going nowhere as I idled in jams of biblical proportions, I gave up and headed back home. Not even the French industrial action or Chinese red tape left me feeling as hopeless, frustrated, and unwilling and unable to proceed. It’s time to tell it like it really is. In terms of the quality of new cars, we’ve never had it so good. But in terms of fit-forpurpose roads we’ve never had it so bad – at least not in the four decades I’ve been driving. The tipping point has been reached. We’ve hit an all-time low. Queues tens of miles long, paralysed roads, gridlock, and politicians who don’t give a damn are all the new norm. Britain’s network is at best operating at or beyond maximum capacity, and at worst worthy of an ‘unfit for purpose’ notice being slapped upon it. Transport Secretary Shapps needs to stop making embarrassing videos promoting his daft self and his even dafter hoodie and sunglasses. Instead, he has to re-introduce apparently taboo (to him) words such as ‘motorists’, ‘cars’ and ‘car-users’ into his vocabulary. Then he has to sort the roads. And if he can’t do that, it’s time for him to pass the job to somebody who can. The likes of Shapps, Grayling, Byers and Prescott have proved that career politicians tend to be lousy transport secretaries or ministers. Maybe it needs a non-politician (a Branson or a Musk-type, perhaps) to run our roads, which have been bought and paid for several times over by some of the most heavily taxed motorists in the world. We deserve better.
