Insiders and former staff members say he was one of the main reasons so many talented and long-serving employees had already left the business; his management style is, apparently, rather blunt. Sure, the numbers weren’t quite as healthy as shareholders might have wanted and that, no doubt, hastened his departure. But Aston chairman Lawrence Stroll has proved again he’s not afraid of a tough decision. But is he capable of a right decision? In comes 76-yearold former Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa as the new boss. Is that an appointment for the long term? Speaking to investors at Aston Martin’s first-quarter earnings call, Stroll said: “Amedeo is with us for the foreseeable future. “I don’t think I’ve met a more energetic gentleman in my life. He is up for this task. No-one else has seen the movie and written the script like Amedeo has done at Ferrari for what we’re trying to accomplish.” So clearly, Stroll has Ferrari in his sights. And joining Felisa is Roberto Fedeli, a former Ferrari chief technical officer, who’s taking the same role at Aston Martin. Further senior appointments are expected in the coming weeks. I wonder how many will have Ferrari on their CVs? Let’s hope that these changes bring some stability to one of Britain’s greatest brands, after two years of turbulence. What they won’t bring back is some of the talent that has left the business during that period, so are we looking at another reinvention of Aston? And should it be chasing Ferrari? That’s a tough ask for any car maker with deeper pockets than Aston – and in my view Aston should be finding its own path. It currently has a line-up of good, if not great, GTs, an excellent SUV and a talented workforce. What it desperately needs now is a clear direction for its future from its new bosses. We wish them the best of luck.

DRIVEN New compact SUV has premium riv
● On the road in the compact SUV that’s aiming to put Alfa back on the map ● Petrol hybrid models offered at launch, plug-in model coming at a later date James Brodie
James_Brodie@autovia.co.uk @JPBrods
BETTER late than never? That’s certainly an adage that Alfa Romeo is pinning its hopes on with the Tonale. It’s the brand’s first entry in the compact SUV sector, rivalling the likes of the BMW X1, Mercedes GLA, Volvo XC40 and Audi Q3. Presented in concept form more than three years ago at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, the production version you see here has been developed during a change of ownership for Alfa, bringing with it a new boss with a grand plan to turn the marque fully electric by 2027. As a result, the car has had a few trips back to the drawing board – hence the delayed launch. One hangover from the Tonale’s development (it was started during Alfa Romeo’s time as part of Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles, before the merger into Stellantis) is that the car uses the FCA Small Wide 4x4 platform shared with the Jeep Compass, rather than the EMP2 set-up used by the likes of the Peugeot 3008. However, big changes under the skin include new MacPherson strut suspension front and rear, plus there’s the provision for electrification in every version of the Tonale. A 271bhp plug-in hybrid will arrive later, but from launch there are two hybrid models. These combine a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with a small battery and an electric motor attached to the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The 158bhp version is where the British line-up starts, with two trim levels: Ti and Veloce, with a price of around £36,000 for the latter likely. The Tonale’s mild-hybrid system is apparent as soon as you set off,
8 11 May 2022
but only if you’re paying close attention. It’s all very much hidden beneath the surface, save for a couple of information displays that you can summon on the digital instrument panel. With only a small 0.8kWh battery, the Tonale can creep forward on electric power, and if your throttle inputs are soft enough you can coax the car up to around 20mph for short bursts, emissions free. There’s a good level of urgency to the electrically assisted take off that makes it eager and nippy to drive around town. However, the petrol engine and auto box aren’t the sharpest. An 8.8-second sprint from 0-62mph is respectable, but in practice, the hesitant transmission means the hit of performance isn’t as readily available as you’d hope, unless you engage Dynamic mode on the drive mode selector. The engine isn’t a hugely entertaining performer. Drone is well suppressed at low revs and on the motorway, where wind noise – and particularly road noise on our car’s optional 20-inch wheels – take over. The disappointing powerplant is a shame, because the work that’s gone into the chassis’s development is commendable. The steering feels positive and the Tonale inspires confidence; when you turn in, the nose feels light and placeable. Combined with well balanced weight distribution and a reluctance to roll, the Alfa is strong dynamically, if you can look past the engine’s flaws. It doesn’t offer Porsche Macan levels of involvement, but it doesn’t cost Macan money, either. Our Veloce test car came equipped with two-stage adaptive dampers, and at low speed around town the ride felt firm – but it did smother potholes and scars

highlight and features configurable displays. Central 10.25-inch infotainment screen is shared with the electric Fiat 500, so it’s responsive and the sharp graphics look smart
just enough. Dynamic mode firms things up further still, but a ‘Soft’ setting restores the suspension to its default setting while keeping maximum engine performance and additional steering weight. On the Ti model, frequency-selective dampers are standard. These change their level of rebound based on inputs from the road surface. The system’s set-up feels firmer than that of the adjustable dampers you’ll find on the Veloce. Appearances matter in this style-driven segment, and although it’s a subjective matter, the translation of the Tonale concept into the finished item three years on is impressive. At 4,528mm long, it’s one of the largest cars in its segment, but a roof height of just 1,601mm gives it a sportier stance than some more upright rivals. The UK’s entry-level trim will be Ti, offering 18-inch wheels as standard, plus a gloss-black bodykit and full-LED lights front and rear. Veloce will be the bigger seller, though, on 19-inch wheels and with touches such as dual chrome exhaust tips, further black exterior detailing and a bodykit with matte-black detailing. Red brake calipers complete the look, while on the inside, UK buyers will get Alcantara trim, aluminium pedals and shift paddles. Here, though, in our not-quite full production first taste, the seats are finished in vegan-friendly man-made leather. We’re told that although the fit will be improved by the time customer deliveries begin in September, the materials are more or less representative. And that’s a concern. Put simply, premium-brand rivals will have the Alfa comfortably covered when it comes to interior quality. Soft-touch plastics are used on the dashboard’s top level, but the rest of the materials on show are harder and not as expensive, including the back doors, where tough plastics are used top to bottom. Some items in the cabin feel outdated, such as the circular side vents, and there’s a slight flimsiness
to them too. The centre console is made of light and thin plastic, although some tightening up on quality has been promised. Space is good up front, and forward visibility is strong, too, but the rear bench is a little hampered by a wide and sloping transmission tunnel, even if it should easily accommodate two adults. The flared shape of the C-pillars combined with the total lack of colour in the cabin means that it feels a little dark inside, though. At the back, there’s a 500-litre boot with a wide opening and an adjustable floor that offers a setting that sits flush with the rear bumper. However, many rivals come with more outright carrying capacity. As for on-board technology, the 10.25inch infotainment set-up is the same as the highest-spec unit in the electric Fiat 500, and that’s not a bad thing at all. It’s bright, pin-sharp and fast to react to inputs, with logically laid-out menus and widgets. Tech fans will find the Tonale’s standard Amazon Alexa integration a welcome feature, too. A strip of piano key-style switches for the climate controls runs beneath the screen, but some items – such as the heated seats – are controlled via interacting with the screen.

Alfa Romeo Tonale
TOPSTORY
RIVALS What it needs to beat AUDI Q3
From: £31,625
THE starting price of the Audi reflects the broader range of models the German brand offers – in reality, the upper-mid spec £37,585 35 TFSI quattro S line is the Tonale’s real rival. Those seeking fun from behind the wheel will look past the Audi in favour of the Alfa, but the Q3 beats the Italian model on quality and is offered with four-wheel drive. It’s ageing a little now though, but a mid-life facelift is coming soon to fix that.
HYUNDAI TUCSON
From: £29,140
OUR reining champion in this segment, the latest Tucson has seen the Korean brand shoot for the stars with impressive results. An expansive line-up includes pure petrol, mild-hybrid, full-hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. As with the Audi, the Hyundai probably can’t match the Alfa on a twisty road, but it does beat it for two things family SUV buyers really value: practicality and value for money.
MERCEDES GLA
Verdict WE love the Alfa Romeo Tonale’s style and the way it handles on a twisty road. But there are some elements that clearly hold it back from being a real threat to the best premium compact SUVs on the market. A powertrain that shows promise around town can’t live up to the expectations generated by the chassis on open roads, and we have concerns about how premium SUV buyers will feel about the interior quality. For these reasons, the Tonale sits in the chasing pack, just behind the outright class leaders.
www.autoexpress.co.uk
From: £33,040
IT’S smaller than many of its rivals, including the Alfa, but the GLA appeals to those who value interior quality and comfort above all else. The compact dimensions don’t have too much of an effect on passenger space, but the GLA lacks a little SUV versatility. However, a strong spread of engine and trim options gives buyers plenty of choice, and there’s an impressive, if expensive, plug-in hybrid option with up to 39 miles of electric range.

Steve Fowler
Steve_Fowler@autovia.co.uk @stevefowler
WHERE a new Range Rover leads, a new Range Rover Sport will surely follow, and only a matter of weeks after our five-star verdict on Land Rover’s new range-topper, along comes its bigger-selling, slightly smaller brother. It’s on sale soon and set to be in showrooms this September. Like its sibling, the Range Rover Sport features familiar styling cues, but with a new sense of minimalism and modernity – so it’s no surprise that Jaguar Land Rover creative director Gerry McGovern says the new model follows his modernist design philosophy: “It blends Range Rover luxury and capability with sporting character. It’s a redefinition of sporting luxury.” At first glance, the new car is clearly still a Range Rover Sport, both in proportion and detail. But park the outgoing car next to it, and the differences are marked. The new Sport is larger than the old car, especially inside, with a 75mm increase in wheelbase, yet it hides its bulk well due to a short front overhang and a slightly longer overhang at the back – all supposedly to enhance a sense of movement. The design team talks about the car having three key lines: the roofline slopes downwards towards a larger rear spoiler over the back window; the waistline is more angled – they call it an architectural horizon – with seamless, flush-fitting glass and no window finishers; then there’s the lower line that sweeps upwards, with all three converging at the back of the vehicle. Flush-fitting door handles help to clean up the sides, while at the front, the slimmest

As with the Range Rover, the rear of the Sport is where the big differences lie, taking its lead from the Velar and Evoque. The number plate has been moved lower down to give a greater expanse of sheet metal at the back, intersected by another central visor-like strip featuring bold lettering, flanked by new, flush LED rear lights. Dynamic models get more prominent front and rear bumpers, and body-coloured side skirts with bigger alloys – up to 23 inches (which are lighter than the old 22s), while the standard wheel size is 20 inches. It all looks very premium, apart from a couple of minor details: the rear camera hanging down just above the number plate

The interior, according to McGovern, is “closer than ever to the Range Rover in terms of luxury” – and it looks it.

Thankfully, rather than being operated via a touchscreen, there are separate controls for the heating, ventilation and drive modes, with plenty of storage spaces – some hidden, others more obvious. Of course, there’s a 13.7-inch digital dash, too, sitting behind a smaller-diameter steering wheel.

These shots of a camouflaged car taken in Germany by Instagram user ro.casp show the new Range Rover Sport SVR will get plenty of visual tweaks, including a new roof spoiler, quad exhausts and a unique diffuser. A more aggressive front grille will also be added to help cool the SVR’s more powerful engine. It will use the same basic 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 as found in the regular line-up, which will also be shared with the BMW X5 M Competition, and the unit could be tuned to produce as much that car, at 616bhp. We can also expect the new SVR to use the same eight-speed automatic transmission found in the X5 M. To contain this extra power the SVR will feature a bespoke chassis, using trick active roll control and possibly tech such as four-wheel steering.

AMERICAN EV firm Fisker has lifted the lid on its forthcoming Ronin highperformance flagship, an all-electric fourseat, four-door convertible. The new car’s unique layout will put it in a class of one when it arrives in 2024 to sit alongside the brand’s Ocean electric SUV. Initially teased as what looked like a fourdoor coupé earlier this year, a new image shows the Fisker is actually a convertible. There’s no word on a power output yet, but the company has revealed the car will have
three motors and be capable of sprinting from 0-62mph in less than two seconds. Designed by the brand’s CEO, Henrik Fisker, and set to be engineered at its UK-based ‘Magic Works’ facility, the Ronin’s sleek bodywork has been previewed with the roof up in our exclusive main image. Adding to the car’s appeal will be what Fisker calls “unique doors for better ingress and egress”, hinting at rear-hinged items. The interior will feature vegan materials. One of the big challenges for the team will be engineering the structure, because the lack of B-pillars will mean a heavily strengthened floor to meet safety
requirements. It’s likely the Ronin will use plenty of carbon fibre in its construction. Fisker says he is targeting a range of 660 miles, thanks to a battery pack integrated into the Ronin’s body structure: “The aim is to achieve the world’s longest range for a production EV,” he said, “combined with extremely high levels of performance. Project Ronin will be a showcase for our engineering, powertrain and software capabilities”. Fisker also outlined that the eventual production car will be priced from “just under $200,000” (a little less than £160,000) when it goes into production in the second half of 2024.

Latest custom-built Ferrari supercar unveiled FERRARI has uncovered its newest one-off supercar: the SP48 Unica. Based on the F8 Tributo, and using that car’s platform and engine, the SP48 has been given an entirely bespoke body and an optimised aero package, alongside unique interior finishes. The new car is destined for one of Ferrari’s “long-standing clients”. The SP48’s specs haven’t been revealed, but given that it uses the same 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 engine as the F8, it’s likely to produce 710bhp and 770Nm of torque. The series-production car uses a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox and an aluminium platform, too. The new body was penned by Ferrari’s chief designer Flavio Manzoni, and the SP48 incorporates cues from the firm’s

latest model, the 296 GTB. The front end is dominated by a pair of vents and perforated grilles, with a set of redesigned headlights. At the rear, the SP48 uses four thin taillight strips and a spoiler to control airflow. For added downforce, there’s a large rear diffuser package with twin-exit exhausts. Ferrari hasn’t shown the car’s interior, but it claims the architecture is shared with the F8 Tributo, while the seats are trimmed in perforated black Alcantara upholstery, with orange accents to mirror the paintwork.

New Bentley Bentayga ready for the long haul A LONG-wheelbase version of the Bentley Bentayga has been revealed. The Bentayga Extended Wheelbase (EWB) has an extra 180mm over the regular model, with all of that length being added between the axles to make more space in the back seats. The overall length is 5,322mm, making this Bentayga almost 300mm longer than the latest Range Rover. Four-wheel steering is fitted to reduce the feel of the extra length in tight spots. The EWB drops the regular Bentayga’s seven-seat option in favour of three possible layouts – four or five seats and the standard ‘4+1’ configuration. This features two distinct outer rear seats and what the firm calls an “occasional middle seat”. New optional Airline Seats offer 22-way adjustment with automatic heating and ventilation, plus air-powered postural adjustment. Power comes from a 542bhp 4.0-litre turbo V8 and depending on spec, the price could exceed £300,000 when it goes on sale later this year.

Number plate survey reveals alarming drop in insect numbers SCIENTISTS have analysed bug splatters on car number plates to measure a fall in the numbers of insects essential to the UK’s biodiversity. The latest Bugs Matter research shows numbers have dropped by 59 per cent since 2004. England’s flying bug population has suffered the most, with a 65 per cent drop, while Wales has 55 per cent fewer flying insects, and Scotland’s count is down by 28 per cent. The project leader, Kent Wildlife Trust and Buglife, points out the trend has dire implications. “The results from the study should shock and concern us all,” says Paul Hadaway, director of conservation at Kent Wildlife Trust. “We are seeing declines in insects, which reflect the enormous threats and loss of wildlife across the country.” Anyone who wants to participate in the survey from 1 June-31 August can download the Bugs Matter app. On registering, they will be sent a printable grid to cut out and use to count bugs on their number plate.

NEWS Fuel prices SHOCK The increase
in petrol and diesel prices has hit drivers in the pocket, and the RAC is warning there could be further increases on the way
Fuel price agony continues for drivers despite Sunak’s tax cut
OFFICIAL RAC estimates claim an increase in retailers’ margins has soaked up most of the savings Chris Rosamond
Chris_Rosamond@autovia.co.uk
FUEL price data for April offered no relief for drivers struggling with the cost of filling up, while it’s claimed retailers have pocketed nearly all the cash earmarked for drivers in the spring budget statement. In March the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a tax reduction on petrol and diesel. At the time, the Government said: “Unveiling a Tax Plan to give families further help with the cost of living, Rishi Sunak reduces fuel duty on petrol and diesel by 5p per litre for the next year.” But RAC Fuelwatch estimates suggest April saw filling station bosses boost their margins by 4p per litre, in effect soaking up most of the cash earmarked for motorists. The latest retailer margin estimates add weight to criticisms of Sunak’s approach, because the chancellor had ignored pleas from motoring groups to reduce VAT on fuel instead of targeting fuel duty. This would have ensured the intended help reached

its proper destination, instead of potentially lining the pockets of filling station owners. RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: “Had the Chancellor temporarily cut VAT rather than fuel duty on fuel, as we asked him to do, the impact on pump prices would have been immediate, with drivers benefitting straight away. Cutting VAT would also have gone some way towards shielding drivers from future increases, something a cut in duty just can’t do.” The average price of petrol fell by just 0.5p to £162.75 a litre in April, while the average diesel price remained at 177p a litre. That’s just a few pennies less than the record highs recorded in March. “The price of oil has cooled considerably, but there’s still lots of market uncertainty, which is leading to prices jumping around,” Williams added. “This, coupled with the exchange rate worsening and news that the EU is planning to phase out Russian oil, is likely to cause the barrel price to rise.” Current prices mean it costs around £90 to fill a typical 55-litre car with petrol, and
EV owners can’t avoid price rises either IT’S not just petrol and diesel car drivers facing the squeeze. We’ve reported on the high cost of charging on a motorway (Issue 1,724) and the energy price cap rise caused home EV charging costs to increase by as much as £192 per year. There could be more bad news on the way, with energy consultancy Cornwall Insights estimating that the next Ofgem review in October could see the price
cap increase by a further 32 per cent. Some electric vehicle charging firms have been putting their prices up, too. One such company is Ubitricity, which is owned by Shell and is one of the biggest EV charging operators in London. The firm has raised its rate from 24p per kWh to 32p per kWh, adding a few quid to the bill of each EV driver who uses one of its chargers to top up. £97 with diesel. With a typical consumption of 40mpg, running a petrol car uses 18.5p of fuel per mile and a diesel 20p a mile. A Government spokesperson said: “The public rightly expects petrol retailers and others in the supply chain to pass on this historic fuel duty cut on forecourts, and both the chancellor and the business secretary have written to the industry urging them to do so. It’s vital that these savings are delivered to consumers.”

JEFF Koons’ interpretation of the BMW 8 Series (right) has taken the art world by storm. But the 8 X JEFF KOONS isn’t the first BMW he’s used as a canvas. In 2010, he painted an M3 GT2 for the Le Mans 24 Hours race, when it was the latest in BMW’s ‘Art Car’ series, which dates back to 1975. All 19 cars have been unique, but the 8 X JEFF KOONS is the first BMW Art Car to be offered for sale. Each of the limited run of 99 cars has Koons’ signature on its cup-holder and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The original is about to set off on a world tour, including a fleeting appearance at this year’s Goodwood Festival Of Speed. But, if you’ve caught the art bug, then come and join us for our own private view of both celebrated and lesser-known rolling artworks down the years.
ART CARS
Artists have been using cars as canvases for many years. Here we look back at some of our favourite creations
Sir Peter Blake Bentley Continental GT Britain’s Pop art legend applied his mind to a Bentley Continental GT V8 S Convertible in 2016 and relished working with the craftsmen at the Mulliner division. His signature was not just on the dashboard, but also on the headrests, which were clad in different-coloured leather. Externally there were echoes of Blake’s own iconic painted metal panels in the red St James heart across the yellow bonnet, the prevailing St Luke’s blue (created to honour a hospice in Cheshire), the British Racing green lower panels and a fuchsia-pink radiator shell.
Andy Warhol BMW M1 The high priest of the New York New Wave movement, Warhol was responsible for the fourth BMW Art Car when, in 1979, he loaded a lightweight M1 racing car with 6kg of paint, apparently applied in a 28-minute burst that many artists would regard as barely enough for a rough sketch. “I attempted to show speed as a visual image,” he said. “When an automobile is really traveling fast, all the lines and colours are transformed into a blur.”
David Hockney BMW 850 CSi BMW was desperate to get Hockney to join its Art Car canon, but had to wait until 1995. This was number 14 in the series and the 850 CSi GT was used as a base. Hockney wanted people to see through the metal, so the car’s body was covered in a depiction of its internal energies. The car was unveiled at the Royal Academy and was central to the Art Cars’ appearance as a pop-up exhibition in a London multi-storey car park in 2012.

Gabriel Orozco Citroen DS
This piece by Mexican artist Orozco is called La DS. He created it originally in 1993 with a bluetinged silver finish, producing a near-duplicate 20 years later in metallic red, titled Cormaline. It’s easy to see it as a radically narrowed Citroen DS with a single seat and central driving position, and the way Orozco drew the shark-like contours into a frontal point almost hurts the eyes. There’s no engine and the ‘car’ doesn’t work, but the artist deformed the car for a “distorted perspective”

INSIDE STORY Art cars that looks normal from the side, but is visually amiss head-on, forcing the onlooker to confront the useless ‘impotence’ of an illusory status symbol.
Romero Britto Volvo V50 Brazilian Britto bestowed his Pop-art style of cubism to the new Volvo estate in 2004 for a children’s charity, using bold, vivid colours and heavy outlines to echo Volvo’s ‘For Life’ slogan. A little later, he also painted an Audi RS 4 quattro.
Louise Dear Alfa Romeo MiTo Alfa Romeo commissioned Dear to paint a MiTo in 2011, and she didn’t need to look far for inspiration for the piece, Because I Can, and its explosive flamboyance – her 17-yearold daughter provided all the rebelliousness she needed. The paint was layered on to combine the floral theme – including Alfa’s cloverleaf – with “positive attitude” colours.
Josh Stika Vauxhall Adam British graffiti artist Stika used a wall on Sclater Street in London’s edgy Shoreditch district to set his interpretation of the Vauxhall Adam Rocks Air against in 2015. The optical illusion of Every One’s An Original merged car and brickwork. “[In] East London,” he said, “the walls are covered with fascinating works by amazing artists from all over the globe. I love the healthy competition this has created.”
BEV Buick Electra The 1960s London collective of artists Douglas Binder, Dudley Edwards and their mentor-manager David Vaughan – known as BEV – never thought they could persuade a client to paint their car in the psychedelic style they used for buildings and furniture. So they bought a 1960 Buick Electra and turned it into the most eyecatching convertible in town.
AlexanderCalderBMW 3.0 CSL The ‘Batmobile’ is the first of BMW’s Art Cars and is based on the 3.0 CSL campaigned at Le Mans by racing driver and art connoisseur Hervé Poulain. Teaming up with BMW Motorsport founder Jochen Neerpasch, they asked the American Alexander Calder to run riot all over it, starting a BMW tradition that lasts to this day.
Steve Weaver Rolls-Royce Phantom V EXACTLY where John Lennon sought inspiration for the artistic transformation of his Rolls may never be entirely clear. He bought the car brand new in a traditional black in 1965 and had the interior gutted to accommodate a double bed, TV, fridge, telephone and custom-built hi-fi. But then in 1967 he became consumed with changing the car’s image, and found a company near his Surrey mansion to do the work. Either this firm or Lennon then engaged local artist Steve Weaver to decorate the car. The predominant yellow colour seemed to chime with the release of the Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album and Weaver’s decoration, often wrongly described as psychedelic, was inspired by traditional Romany caravans and fairgrounds, with the owner’s Libra star sign on the roof.
LOUISE DEAR
Geoff Francis Mini Cooper Francis was a very specific kind of artist, a painstaking expert in heraldic liveries often called upon to paint family or royal crests on the doors of limousines built by London coachbuilder Hooper & Co. In 1962 his steady hand was called for when Hooper created an ultra-luxurious Mini Cooper for film star Peter Sellers, on which Francis painted a pattern to suggest wickerwork panels.
BEV
Ant Farm Cadillac In 1974 a San Francisco collective of artists called Ant Farm created an open-air sculptural tribute to Detroit’s finest. In the Texas wilderness, they half-buried a row of 10 Cadillacs bonnet-first, ranging chronologically from 1949 to 1963. The installation is still there, but it has changed as visitors have smashed windows, added graffiti, and stolen anything that could be removed.
Dave Richards Porsche 356 Richards was a roadie for rock goddess Janis Joplin, and when she found out he was an artist, she gave him free rein and $500 (£400) to use her 1964 Porsche 356 SC as a blank canvas. He named his piece The History Of The Universe and in 2016 it sold for $1.75million (£1.4m) at auction.

It’s a way of working that appealed to Damien Hirst, and in 2010 he used the method to produce an extraordinary outer coating for an Audi A1. You can only marvel at the size of turntable called for in Hirst’s Gloucestershire studio as the car was paint-bombed by the one-time

enfant terrible of the ‘Young British Artists’ movement, as well as the painstaking masking that preceded his work. The contrast with the sober greys, silvers and whites normally associated with Audi was shocking. The work was created for Sir Elton’s John’s White Tie & Tiara Ball, where it headed the charity auction. It sold for £350,000, which included a matching, 6ft-diameter Hirst canvas.

Volkswagen ID.5
Even on optional 21-inch wheels, ID.5 is a quiet and comfortable car
FIRST DRIVE Sleeker version of ID.4 sits at top of VW EV range Matt Robinson
COUPE-SUVs are a niche finding their feet thanks to electrification, and Volkswagen is the latest to enter the fray with this: the ID.5. The sleeker shape nudges the official range up by three miles over the ID.4 on which it’s based, to 313 miles on a charge. Compared with the ID.4, the ID.5 gets a coupé makeover from the B-pillar back. The cabin has been carried over, albeit with an improvement in trim quality to reflect the ID.5’s position at the top of VW’s EV line-up. It’s noticeably nicer when you take a seat, but there are some cheaper-feeling parts, which is all the more disappointing given that the related Skoda Enyaq and Enyaq Coupé both arguably feel more premium. Further differentiating itself from the ID.4, the ID.5 is only available with the largest battery pack for cars using the VW Group’s MEB platform. A 77kWh unit is used in the rear-wheel-drive Pro and Pro Performance models, and the car we’re driving is the latter, with 201bhp, which makes for an 8.4second 0-62mph dash and a top speed of
99mph. For those who want to go quicker, there’s a GTX model with 295bhp. Driven in the German equivalent of the highly equipped Max trim level we’ll get in Britain, this grade will offer 20-inch wheels, adaptive dampers, and ‘Top-Sport Plus’ seats. Our car had 21-inch wheels, which will be optional, but even on the larger rims, the ID.5 rides comfortably, isolating the cabin well from imperfections in the road. It’s a quiet, comfortable car to drive. At well over two tonnes, the ID.5 is hardly a flyweight. But as often with electric cars, a low centre of gravity afforded by a low-slung battery pack means it doesn’t always feel so heavy. Up to a point, at least. Although it changes direction keenly, push the ID.5 hard in a corner and its mass will be more apparent. Body roll is fairly well contained, however, and there’s plenty of traction. The steering is heavier than a lot of recent VW products and is quick to recentre. Sport mode firms up the suspension to reduce body roll, but not significantly (we suspect the difference will be more distinct on UK

roads), and sharpens the throttle. With all its torque available almost instantaneously, the Pro Performance feels fairly brisk during initial acceleration, gathering speed nicely thereafter. We reckon around 250 miles of real-world range can be extracted from the battery. And 135kW charging means it can be topped up to 80 per cent in half an hour. All derivatives get the 3.0 version of VW’s latest software. In our first experience, it was stable and crash-free, but we found the voice command system a little easy to trigger. The car’s central touchscreen is quite responsive, but it’s still fiddly when altering climate control settings. This is far from the only faux pas the ID.5 has inherited from the 4 – you still get the haptic-feedback steering wheel button pads with touch-sensitive sliders that are all-too easy to knock accidentally. Even worse, it also inherits the fiddly driver’s side window controls. Two rocker switches work both the front and rear windows, and which windows they operate is adjusted by pressing a nearby button. We’d argue it’s a needless faff. There’s a £3,000 premium for the Pro Performance Max version of the ID.5 over the equivalent ID.4, dropping to £1,370 for the GTX Max model. That should mean a small increase in monthly payments, but for most buyers, the choice will be down to which car they prefer the look of, rather than finances.

THE new Volkswagen ID.5 coupé-SUV inherits both the ID.4’s many good and fewer not-so-good aspects, which results in a fairly well rounded electric SUV that isn’t too badly compromised by its sportier silhouette; there’s still plenty of space in the back seats. However, one potential drawback is that it’s certainly not a cheap option in a sector of the market that’s becoming more affordable and fielding greater consumer choice by the month.

NEWCARS Aston Martin V12 Vantage
Aston Martin V12 Vantage FIRST DRIVE Last hurrah as Aston’s 12-cylinder coupé goes out with a bang Steve Sutcliffe
mail@autoexpress.co.uk
ACCORDING to Aston Martin’s nowoutgoing boss, Tobias Moers, this is “the fastest, most powerful and most dynamically capable V12 Vantage ever”. It’s also “an embodiment of Aston Martin’s intensifying focus on driving dynamics, which ensures it will go out on the highest of highs”. The 690bhp, £265,000, twin-turbo V12 Vantage is one heck of a last hurrah for Aston Martin’s most cherished 12-cylinder sports car. Beneath its lightweight carbon-composite skin, the V12 Vantage has embarked upon a serious exercise regime to help preen its kerbweight to “just” 1,795kg. Its bodyshell also boasts new strut braces front and rear that help stiffen it by almost 10 per cent compared with the V8 Vantage, while its suspension is some 50 per cent stiffer at the back and 40 per cent firmer at the front. There are monstrous 21-inch cast-alloy wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes, and
26 11 May 2022
optional carbon-fibre wings, skirts and spoilers that help generate 205kg of downforce above 150mph. As you’d expect, the performance is chestthumpingly impressive, with Aston Martin claiming 0-62mph in just 3.5 seconds, 0-100mph in less than seven seconds and a top speed of exactly 200mph. Rivals? Think Ferrari 812 Superfast at one end of the scale, or Porsche 911 GT3 at the other, as well as cars like the MercedesAMG GT R and BMW’s M8 Competition. However, on paper, the V12 Vantage has few genuine competitors, because it should offer a broader repertoire than any rival: it’s a full-blown GT car on the one hand, and a focused track monster on the other. In reality, though, it doesn’t quite turn out that way. It’s undeniably lovely to look at and rippling with potential, but in practice the V12 Vantage isn’t quite the rule-bender we expected it to be. It’s extremely quick in a straight line, the 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 delivering a huge hit of all-but lag-free
acceleration with more than 2,500rpm showing on the rev counter. It gets stronger at the top, too, and although its mid-range isn’t as bombastic as you might expect with 690bhp and 753Nm under your right foot, no one is ever going to complain about the way this car goes. It’s the other stuff that’s less impressive and will cause of a fair amount of confusion. Such as the way it rides, steers, sounds and changes gear, all of which are memorable, but not necessarily for the right reasons. The ride comfort is especially baffling, because although there are three different settings for the drivetrain and dampers – Sport, Sport+ and Track – the V12 Vantage never feels calm or comfortable. Instead, it’s either very firm, downright hard or – on the public road at least – almost unbearably stiff. It also generates a ludicrous amount of tyre noise, plus its steering is heavier and less delicate than we’ve come to expect from the best Astons. The sound is also a touch disappointing, all things considered. For a

But the brakes are superb, the V12 Vantage stopping as powerfully and with as much feel as any rival. As for the cabin, it’s largely the same as any other Vantage, except for a V12 badge at the base of the centre console and a pair of optional lightweight carbon-fibre seats. These were fitted to our test car, cost a small fortune and are probably best avoided unless you’re going to spend a lot of time on track. Where, by the way, the V12 Vantage feels more at home than it does on the road, because its stiff ride isn’t as much of an issue. In some ways the V12 Vantage is an incredible car that will, inevitably, hit the spot with its intended audience. But we can’t help thinking that Aston has gone too far with the ride and suspension, and the car’s overall appeal has suffered as a result.
www.autoexpress.co.uk
Verdict THE final incarnation of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage looks amazing, has huge power and the kind of driving performance to match its imposing appearance. However, a more focused personality doesn’t entirely suit it overall and the ride is simply too stiff for the public road, even if the V12 Vantage does suit its set-up when you get to the track. We’ll still miss it desperately when it’s gone, though.

NEWCARS Genesis GV60
Richard Ingram
Richard_Ingram@autovia.co.uk @rsp_ingram
THE Genesis story started in Europe less than 12 months ago. It’s a new brand here, and already the line-up consists of five models. Up to now, though, every Genesis in the UK has been petrol or dieselengined, but that changes with this GV60. While the car itself is new, the platform that underpins it is a bit more familiar. The GV60 sits on parent company Hyundai’s E-GMP architecture, including the same 800-volt charging that allows for a 10-80 per cent top-up in as little as 18 minutes. This is our first chance to try the more affordable rear-wheel-drive Premium model, which will be the cheapest (and longestrange) version available in the UK. Choosing your GV60 is pretty simple. You pick a trim – Premium, Sport or Sport Plus – and with that you get a standardised kit list plus a set motor combination. Premium cars are rear-wheel drive, and have LED lights, 19-inch alloys, twin 12.3-inch screens, a powered tailgate and a reversing camera. Premium offers a claimed 321 miles of range and we managed closer to 290 miles in normal driving, not disrupted hugely by faster motorway speeds. While it may not have the punch offered by top-spec models, the Premium’s 226bhp and 320Nm of torque feels enough in a car like this. The

FIRST DRIVE Behind the wheel of new brand’s first EV for the UK instant torque makes it seem much quicker than the numbers might suggest, too. In fact, on the roads around Frankfurt this GV60 felt right at home. The chassis and suspension offer enough compliance and control, and make it feel engaging to drive, although it’s true the smaller wheels on our Premium test car seemed to offer a smoother ride, compared with the top-spec car’s complex camera-linked adaptive damping. Refinement is another strong point, or at least it was in our test car, which featured the optional (£990) Bang & Olufsen sound system with trick active noise cancelling. The quietness was only really disrupted above 80mph; below these speeds the GV60 is an impressively hushed car. If you spend the majority of your time in town, it makes sense to lean heavily on the
car’s fantastic regenerative brakes. The four settings are controlled via a pair of paddles on the back of the steering wheel; it’s a mystery why more brands don’t use such an intuitive system. We found the adaptive arrangement the most effective, slowing the GV60 to a complete stop just before the car in front. It means you can do 90 per cent of your driving using just one pedal. While the interior design – much like the exterior – may not be to all tastes, you can’t argue with the build quality. Genesis harps on about luxury, and the GV60 certainly feels worthy of its lofty price when you’re sat inside. The chunky steering wheel is coated in plush, soft leather; contrasting stitching and piping covers the seats and dashboard. The infotainment system is responsive, easy enough to use and full of the latest

technology, but many owners will still bypass this with the standard-fit Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Space and practicality are a mixed bag. The electric platform has let Genesis free up plenty of room for rear-seat passengers, and overall there’s more space in the back than you might expect for a car of this type. Boot capacity isn’t as generous, at 432 litres, but there is 53 litres of storage in the nose, too. The GV60’s styling could win as many fans as it loses, while its practicality and packaging mean it will function just fine as a family car. One area in which Genesis hopes to truly separate itself from rivals is with its customer journey, setting “a new standard in the future of luxury mobility,” according to European CEO, Dominique Boesch. You get an allocated personal assistant to guide you through the order process and beyond. Buy a car and you’ll get the maker’s Five-Year Care Plan, including warranty, servicing and roadside assistance, plus mapping and over-the-air updates, too.

THE humble family hatchback has fallen out of favour with buyers craving an SUV, but all the major brands still have something to offer in the segment – not least because hatchbacks still sell in reasonable numbers. Which is why Peugeot has introduced a new 308. We’re driving the 1.2-litre PureTech here, which is likely to be the best-selling model. We won’t dwell on the car’s looks for too long, although Peugeot has worked hard to give the 308 a distinctive style that makes some of its competitors look a tad dull. The firm’s trademark ‘fang’ daytime running lights sit astride pinched LED headlights that flow into the grille, and there are plenty of creases and slashes in the bodywork heading to the rear, which features ‘three-claw’ rear lights. It all looks very premium, and this feel continues inside, with our GT Premium-spec car boasting a classy mix of fabric, pianoblack plastic and man-made leather. There are plenty of storage bins dotted around, too, although you’ll lose a tiny bit of room underneath the armrest in the hybrid models. Boot space also shrinks should you choose the hybrid, from a decent 412 litres to just 361 litres. The latest 308 is based on the same EMP2 platform as the previous-generation car, plus many other models in the Stellantis

group. However, while the platform offers some flexibility in layout, rear legroom in the 308 is cramped if you’re sitting behind someone tall. Thick C-pillars make it feel a bit claustrophobic in the back, too. GT Premium models offer heated and electrically adjustable seats as standard. You also get Peugeot’s Drive Assist Pack Plus with lane positioning and adaptive cruise control, along with a 360-degree parking camera, lane assist and heated front seats with massaging function. There’s a 10-inch digital dash and a 10.1-inch touchscreen, below which are Peugeot’s ‘i-Toggles’ that act as shortcuts to certain menus. They’re big and easy to use on the move, but sometimes you can accidentally press them if you rest your hand to use the main screen. It all works relatively well, with decent graphics and responses, plus lots of features. But the i-Cockpit set-up means you have to sit quite high up so you can see the full driver’s display, otherwise some information will be completely blocked off by the flat-topped steering wheel. On the move, the standard auto box delivers smooth shifts. The 128bhp 1.2 PureTech petrol engine isn’t especially pokey

meaning a 0-62mph time of 9.7 seconds, so performance is best described as adequate, feeling lethargic at times. However it’s relatively quiet both around town and at motorway speeds. The small steering wheel does give the 308 a sporty feel, but while the rack itself is quick and direct, there’s not a tremendous amount of feedback. Peugeot has managed to mix sportiness with a comfortable ride, too. There’s plenty of grip and not much body roll, while even on the largest 18-inch wheels it glides relatively well over rough roads. The 308 range starts from £24,635, but you’ll want to move to at least Allure Premium, which starts at £27,385, to really make the most of the Peugeot’s classy interior. Granted, most will be looking for a finance deal, and the Peugeot 308 looks even better on this front. Based on an annual limit of 10,000 miles, an Allure Premium model will cost £285 per month over 48 months with a £5,000 deposit – a similarly specced Golf will cost £300. Step up to this highspec GT Premium version, and you’ll be looking at £358, which still looks like reasonably good value.

YOU might think you’ve been in your job a long time, but chances are you haven’t been as long-serving or loyal as Bryan Webb. That’s because last year, the 90-yearold retired after 75 continuous years of employment at Gloucester’s Vauxhall dealership. Bryan, who’d spent the past 34 years as the dealer’s warranty administrator, was given a big send-off and lots of gifts, including a ceremonial spanner. But just before he said his final farewells, we sat down with him to hear about his time with Vauxhall and the changes he’d seen. “It was 1946 when I started,” Bryan said. “I was still in school and looking for a job in town; someone suggested I try the garages. I was offered two jobs, one of which was with Hough & Whitmore, which was the Vauxhall agent in those days.” The other job was at the city’s Morris dealer, but Bryan said it was “a dingy old place”, so he went for the more modern Vauxhall showroom. “I went in on a so-called apprenticeship, which wasn’t what it is now,” he added. “The technical college hadn’t started back up after the war. I began doing mechanical work and then in 1949 I had to go away for two years in the Navy on conscription, although I never went to sea! “They had to keep our jobs open, so I came back. I was still an apprentice and the technical college had reopened. I spent some time at college during the week, learned how to do different jobs under supervision and then did them on my own; you basically taught yourself.”
Command
Bryan then worked his way up the chain of command. Hough & Whitmore started to sell Jaguars in addition to Vauxhalls, so he familiarised himself with a bigger range of cars. Bryan got married in 1952 and then, in the midsixties, he reached the rank of underforeman and later became foreman, making sure everything on the mechanical side of the garage ran smoothly. In 1970, Hough & Whitmore was bought by Thomas Ward. The new owners presented Bryan with a Rotary watch in recognition of what had then been more than 20 years of service. Five years later, the dealer changed hands again. The new owners, Skipper, moved the garage from its original London Road location to a new site in Cole Avenue in the eighties. Finally, in 1994, Skipper was taken over by the Baylis Group. Today, the dealership is still Baylis Vauxhall Gloucester. We asked Bryan why, when many people retire at the age of 65, he kept working to the age of 90. “When my dad, an accountant, got to 65, he had to retire,” Bryan said. “Within six months, he was dead. I thought: ‘I’m not going to be like that; if I keep going, I’ll live longer’.” Even though no one can deny Bryan’s retirement is well deserved, he’s already missing his work. “You tend to get lazy,” he explained. “When I had the odd week off before, there was always stuff that needed doing at home, so I would be productive during that week. Now, I find myself putting things off until the following week.” Bryan would ideally have kept working even longer, he reckons, but Covid played a part in his decision to stop. “They furloughed me,” he explained. “If not for that, I think I’d still be working. It just took me out of that way of life and into the way of life I’ve got now.” One thing that changed hugely over his career is the cars. “I would say the modern cars are better,” Bryan said. “They call mechanics technicians now; you have to be a technician because there are so many computers.” Finally, we asked Bryan what the best Vauxhall he had driven in his 75 years of service was. He didn’t hesitate before answering that it was the Vectra B of 1995.

All the
small things Compact premium electric SUVs from Mercedes and Lexus go head-to-head
THERE’S a relentless wave of large electric SUVs joining the top end of the new-car market, but it’s the offerings on a smaller scale that, for most buyers, will be more relevant. Compact EVs that suit urban areas – places where zero tailpipe emissions are most beneficial – are the type of battery-powered cars a bigger group of new-car buyers will be arguably more excited about. That’s not to say that they should be limited purely to inner-city duties, though. These cars also need to have both the range and the usability to provide few headaches for those who need to embark on the occasional long motorway slog, too. On paper, the two compact SUVs we’re testing here should be able to do exactly that. With its first batteryonly model, Lexus appears to have the right idea. The UX 300e is the smallest SUV the brand offers – related to the hybrid-powered UX 250h. From the outside, it seems to have ideal proportions for a family-sized EV. Mercedes has a much larger range of fully electric vehicles, and the EQA is its most modest offering, but it follows a very similar formula to the Lexus. So which of these premium crossovers is best?

Testers’ notes
“Lexus has often taken its own hybrid path with regards to powertrain technology, but with this UX, and the recently revealed RZ 450e, the brand is now very much on the same page as the competition when it comes to electrification.”

FIRST impressions of the UX 300e on the road are very encouraging. The well weighted steering is immediately obvious; not only does it make the UX easy to place around town, but on the road it also allows you to make the most of the car’s agile chassis. It’s an exaggeration to suggest that it’s fun to drive, but by small electric SUV standards, it does a better job than most, including the EQA. Agile handling sometimes comes at the expense of ride comfort, but that isn’t the case here. The UX 300e is pretty impressive at ironing out bumps, and the 17-inch wheels fitted with tyres that have a decent amount of sidewall manage to filter out broken tarmac well. The Lexus is more comfortable than the Mercedes, especially at low speeds. Its electric motor is the punchier of the pair, too. The UX sprints off the line with real enthusiasm, and its 300Nm of torque is more than enough to overcome the front tyres’ grip if you’re not careful; the traction control will rather clumsily cut the power to keep things in check. Acceleration still remains fairly keen at motorway speeds, too. If there’s one area where the Lexus needs some improvement, it’s under braking.

THERE’S not much to set the all-electric UX 300e apart from the hybrid UX 250h on the outside. The keenest of eyes will spot a gently tweaked grille, which sits within a sleeker front bumper with smaller air intakes. Otherwise, it’s only the badges and wheels that provide much in the way of differentiation. Under the skin, however, the adaptation to a zero-emissions powertrain has been extensive. Moving to electric drive means more weight has been added, and to compensate, the electric UX gets extra chassis bracing and a retuned suspension set-up when compared with its hybrid counterpart. The extra engineering doesn’t stop there. It gets more soundproofing material, too, which is to reduce the effects of wind and tyre noise, both of which, Lexus says, become more noticeable once the combustion engine is taken out of the equation. The UX 300e’s 54.3kWh lithium-ion battery feeds an electric motor on the front axle. The drivetrain develops 201bhp and 300Nm of torque, which is enough for a 0-62mph time of 7.5 seconds, while top speed is 100mph. Official WLTP testing figures state that the UX 300e will cover 186 miles on a charge. Inside, the all-electric UX 300e is the same as the hybrid model, with the exception of a new automatic gear selector and some EV-specific displays for the SUV’s digital instruments and infotainment system. The driving environment feels a little more snug than it does in the Mercedes, but the level of fit and finish is excellent.

THE hybrid version of the UX is let down by a small boot, but this electric version fares better. At 367 litres, its volume is fine; indeed it beats the 340 litres in the Mercedes. Space in the electric EQA isn’t as strong as in its combustion-engined siblings. The UX’s boot is reasonably well thought-out, with features such as a dedicated cubby beneath the boot floor that swallows the charging cable. The EQA has some underfloor storage too, but the space is too shallow for fitting any cables. The back of the UX is very cramped. In order to accommodate their battery packs, both of these cars have a raised cabin floor. While it’s not ideal in the EQA, the level is so high in the UX that anyone above average height will find that their feet are pushed right up, meaning that the seat bases provide no under-thigh support. It’s not much better in other aspects either – knee and foot room are poor and headroom isn’t great, either.

ONE area where Lexus consistently excels is the ownership experience that it provides for its customers. The plaudits go to the dealers in our latest Driver Power satisfaction survey; the network finished second only to Porsche out of 21 manufacturers covered. As a brand, it took 10th overall out of 29 – still an above-average score. Reliability proved to be a strong point, too, with fewer than 10 per cent of owners reporting any faults across the entire Lexus range – one of the lowest figures of any manufacturer. Mercedes was just above average in both categories; its dealers were ranked ninth overall, and as a brand it finished just behind Lexus in 13th.

FOR the 2022 financial year, the Benefit-in-Kind rate for electric vehicles rises from one to two per cent – effectively doubling the cost. However, they’re still incredibly cheap relative to petrol or diesel SUVs of a similar price. A higher-rate income taxpayer will face annual deductions of £368 for the Lexus and £392 for the Mercedes – that slightly larger number is a result of the EQA’s greater P11D value, but both cars cost thousands less than equivalent combustion vehicles. For private buyers, both of these cars depreciate at a very similar rate. The Mercedes just edges ahead, holding 53 per cent of its value over three years, whereas its rival’s figure is 52.1 per cent.

BUYERS are offered a choice of three trim levels for the UX 300e. The standard model is simply named UX 300e, and comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, a seven-inch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, front and rear parking sensors, LED headlights and eight-way electrically adjustable front seats. Based on a three-year lease deal with a 10,000-mile annual limit and a six-month payment up front, the best price we found was £529 per month. Step up to the Premium Plus model here, and you gain keyless entry, heated and ventilated front seats, tinted rear windows and heated rear seats. The most competitive figure we found for this trim came to £579 per month. The top-spec Takumi trim gains larger wheels and a bigger infotainment screen, plus a Mark Levinson hi-fi, a head-up display, a powered tailgate and a blindspot monitoring system. These extras bring the total cost to £689 per month.

WEIGHING in at just over two tonnes, the EQA is no lightweight – something that becomes clear out on the road. It’s slower and more lethargic than the Lexus, both in terms of the way it turns into corners, and also in its keenness to move away from a standstill. Engaging Sport mode does make it feel more alert, but the difference in claimed 0-62mph times – 7.5 seconds for the Lexus and 8.9 for the Mercedes – feels entirely believable. On top of that, the Lexus is also the more refined car. The main difference is road noise – something that Lexus’s engineers have worked hard to iron out, and something which is quite pronounced in the Mercedes. The EQA’s ride can be a little bouncy, too. There are other areas where the Mercedes feels more accomplished, though. While it lacks the UX’s agility, the trade-off is that at motorway speeds, stability is excellent; where the Lexus requires regular corrections, the Mercedes holds a solid course. There’s plenty of grip too, so while it isn’t particularly fun, it is safe and predictable. While the EQA’s acceleration doesn’t feel as keen, the throttle is much easier to modulate here

MUCH like the Lexus, the EQA doesn’t use a bespoke electric-vehicle platform. Instead, its architecture is adapted from existing combustion technology – in this case Mercedes’ small SUV, the GLA. Unlike the Lexus, however, Mercedes offers the EQA with three powertrain options, each with different performance and ranges. The EQA 250 here is the entry point; its single-motor set-up offers 187bhp – 14bhp less than the Lexus. However, maximum torque of 375Nm is 75Nm up on its rival. Above this model sit the EQA 300 and 350. These add an extra motor to the rear axle, so they provide four-wheel drive, with the EQA 300 making 225bhp and the EQA 350 offering 288bhp and 520Nm of torque – enough for a 0-62mph time of six seconds. Both of these models have the same 66.5kWh battery pack as the EQA 250, although the pair’s extra shove has done little to harm their range: the EQA 250 offers the most from a full charge, however, at 262 miles. That battery is split in three, with one part beneath the back seats where the fuel tank sits in the GLA, while the other two are either side of the central tunnel beneath the cabin. The interior will be largely familiar to GLA drivers, with a near-identical dashboard design. The only clear difference comes on the digital driver’s display, which shows an energy readout instead of a rev counter. The design itself looks a little more extravagant than the Lexus’s; you might have a preference, but both offer quality that’s worth their respective asking prices.

While the EQA’s mass can be felt during heavy braking, the overall feel is a little more consistent than the Lexus.

ALTHOUGH the Mercedes isn’t quite as generous as the Lexus for boot space, it’s much more pleasant for rear-seat passengers. While the UX feels no more accommodating than many superminis, the EQA is far more spacious – especially in terms of knee and headroom. Even though the floor is a little high, there’s still just about enough space for feet beneath the front seat – something that isn’t possible in the Lexus. Rear-seat passengers can charge a mobile device thanks to a single USB-C port, while the rear armrest has a couple of pop-out cup-holders, too. The front door bins are larger than the UX’s, and even though the EQA’s rear bins are oddly shaped, there’s still just enough room for a small bottle.

BOTH the EQA and UX were tested by Euro NCAP in 2019, and both bagged five-star ratings. The EQA just pipped the UX for adult and child occupant safety scores, while the Lexus was slightly better in the vulnerable road users and safety assist categories. It’s worth noting that the UX tested was the hybrid model rather than the EV, but the pair are fundamentally identical. When it comes to warranty cover, Lexus is one of the best around. As long as you stick to the service schedules and go to a main dealer to get the work done, the UX is covered for up to 10 years. The EQA’s cover lasts for only three, but the mileage is unlimited over that period.

DURING our time on the road, the Mercedes proved to be the more efficient of the two cars. We averaged 3.6 miles per kWh, which beat the Lexus and its figure of 3.3mi/kWh. Based on home charging at a rate of 28p per kilowatt hour, that translates to a cost of £1,556 over 20,000 miles for the Mercedes and £1,697 for the Lexus. It’s worth noting that those energy consumption figures were achieved in fairly cool temperatures; we’d expect both to be better in the summer. Our returns translate into real-world ranges of 239 miles for the Mercedes and 179 miles for the Lexus.

AS with the Lexus, there are three trim levels to choose from with the EQA 250. Sport spec isn’t short of kit; 18-inch alloys, LED headlights, aluminium roof rails, a powered tailgate and lane-keep assist are all included. Match the three-year lease terms to the UX 300e, and the range kicks off at a slightly pricier £622 per month. It’s only a small jump in cost to the next model up. The AMG Line weighs in at £635 per month, and adds sportier styling inside and out, including a bodykit, more purposeful-looking 18-inch wheels, a flatbottomed steering wheel, illuminated door sills and AMG-branded floor mats. It’s the AMG Line Premium that piles on the fancy features.

Tech
Using a bespoke EV platform boosts Q4 e-tron’s efficiency and interior space, and it’s better to drive than rivals here
AUDI’S sharply styled SUV uses the VW Group’s MEB underpinnings, so in several ways the Q4 e-tron holds an edge over its rivals here. It comes with a potent 201bhp electric motor, and an 82kWh battery good enough for an official range that, in some trims, exceeds 300 miles. Rapid charging of up to 150kW is offered, too. The key benefit to the Q4 e-tron, however, is space. The back seats are roomy, and the rear bench is taller, so it feels much more comfortable. There’s more elbow room, too, while the boot has a capacity of 520 litres. Audi has tuned its EV to deliver a relaxing drive. The ride is softer than in either the Lexus or Mercedes, and combined with excellent refinement (and that range) it’s a great long-distance cruiser. There’s not much in the way of feedback through the steering, but the wheel itself looks like it could have been lifted from a concept car, lending the Q4 a futuristic feel that its rivals here can’t match.

Kia EV6
MODEL: GT Line PRICE: £45,595 POWERTRAIN: 1x e-motor, 77.4kWh battery, 226bhp WHILE the smaller Soul EV is better suited to an urban environment, Kia’s best electric tech is reserved for the EV6. Mechanically it’s very similar to the Ioniq 5; the basic E-GMP architecture is the same. The powertrain options differ slightly, though. There’s a single rear-motor variant with 226bhp, or a twin-motor model with 321bhp and 605Nm of torque, which is enough to return a hot hatch-bothering 0-62mph time of 5.2 seconds. There are other differences under the skin, too. A long 2.9-metre wheelbase contributes to a stable gait that makes the EV6 a great motorway companion, but the Kia’s suspension is stiffer than the Ioniq 5’s, too. While passengers will notice some extra firmness, the driver will enjoy a slightly sharper feel on twisty roads. For many, the choice between EV6 and Ioniq 5 will come down to design. Both look like they’ve been beamed in from the future, but in place of the Ioniq 5’s 8-bit lights and sharp creases, the Kia is sleek and smooth. Inside, both are incredibly roomy, but the EV6’s environment feels a little more sporty.

IF you can spare a little extra space on your driveway, then the Hyundai Ioniq 5 should be on any EV buyer’s shortlist. It’s 202mm longer and 41mm wider than the EQA, but step inside and it’s clear that Hyundai has made brilliant use of that extra footprint. The packaging is fantastic, and you’ll struggle to find more legroom in anything this side of a BMW 7 Series. The boot is quite shallow, but at 527 litres it’s well beyond either the Mercedes or Lexus. That accommodation is just one benefit of the Ioniq 5’s EV-specific platform. It also features an 800-volt electrical system, so it’s possible to charge from 10 to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes. On the performance side, the Ioniq 5 is available with two powertrains – a 168bhp model with a 58kWh battery, or a 214bhp version with a 73kWh unit. The latter can cover up to 298 miles between top-ups, yet accelerates from 0-62mph in 7.4 seconds. Refinement and comfort are both strong points, as is standard kit.

The XC40 plays up to Volvo’s history of styling boxy cars, and backs it up with a decent range and good performance
THE XC40 is one of the biggest sellers in the premium SUV segment, and there’s no doubt that it has benefitted from the option of a fully electric model. In many ways the battery-only model is the pick of the range; it’s the quietest version on the move, while the linear torque delivery makes it far smoother than the petrol models to drive around town. This funkily styled SUV benefits from Volvo’s brilliant safety record, too, while eco-conscious buyers can choose the option of recycled and non-leather fabrics inside. To top it all off, there’s a responsive Google-based infotainment system, too. It’s not just the touchscreen that is rapid, either. In twin-motor specification, it gets 402bhp and a 4.9-second 0-62mph time, earning the XC40 genuine Q-car status. In reality, it’s more performance than anyone needs from a car like this, though, so we’d recommend the single-motor model. It’s cheaper, but even though it has a smaller, lighter battery, it’s able to cover a very similar distance on a single charge – 261 miles based on WLTP data. With 227bhp on tap, it’s still no slouch, either.

Key features: Trackpad, 7.0-inch display
RECENTLY we’ve tried Lexus’s attempts at improving its infotainment tech, from the brilliant new system in the NX to the mildly patched system in the ES. Improvements for the UX can’t come soon enough because the system that’s installed here is well below the standards of premium rivals – and many mainstream options, too. A seven-inch display is largely taken for granted on a mid-spec supermini these days, and the majority of those cars will have screens with a higher resolution than this, too. The rear-view camera, for example, has a poor resolution, so in anything other than perfect weather conditions it’s hard to pick out much detail when backing up. The hardware woes don’t end there, because the odd touchpad with haptic feedback is frustrating to use. In short, it’s simply not good enough for a £46,000 car with a premium badge on the nose.

The home screen shows three large icons, with further functions accessed by swiping left and right, just like a smartphone. The screen responds quickly to touches and the sat-nav loads quickly when planning a route; a fairly straightforward process thanks to large on-screen keys.

WITH its first EV, Lexus has produced a mixed bag. In some areas, it’s brilliant; the cabin quality is at least a match for the Mercedes, and it’s more fun to drive while being quieter and every bit as comfortable. However, it’s compromised in other areas. The rear seats are cramped and the infotainment is poor. It can’t match either the range or charging speed of its rival, either.
MAY 2022
WHILE the overwhelming number of EVs on the market use CCS charging connectors, some Japanese manufacturers instead use the less common (in the UK at least) CHAdeMO connection, and that’s the case for the UX. On the one hand, it means you’ll be less likely to find yourself fighting other users for connection to a chargepoint, but on the other hand, they’re harder to find than the more common CCS connectors used by the Mercedes. Beyond CHAdeMO’s relative scarcity, the main disadvantage here is slower charging rates. The UX peaks at 50kW, so a 10-80 per cent charge takes 30 minutes. The EQA is compatible with chargers at twice that speed, but a 10-80 per cent charge at 100kW also takes 30 minutes. However, since it has a bigger battery, you’re adding more range, too. Combined with superior efficiency, it means the Mercedes will spend much less time plugged in.

I’M not the type that’s prone to grand displays of affection. Just ask my girlfriend. But I’ll make an exception for the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio I’ve started running on our fleet, because I’ve already entered into a whirlwind romance with this Italian sports saloon. It’s fantastic. There are some things that the Alfa Romeo doesn’t do well, but I’ve been able to see past these points for now, because the Giulia is so good when it comes to what I like in a car, I don’t mind. When the world goes all-electric, we’ll miss engines like the Alfa’s 503bhp 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6. It blares and barks and is revhungry for a turbo motor. It gives the car character, and this is what I’ve fallen for. And on that subject, even if you covered the badge, I think I’d know this was an Italian car. There’s that age-old cliché of passion and soul when it comes to Italian vehicles, and it’s partly true here. I won’t go into great detail as to how the Giulia Quadrifoglio drives, because that’s a known quantity, and we love it here at Auto Express. It genuinely cuts it with BMW M, Mercedes-AMG and Audi RS models on merit, and that’s not always been the case with even the most focused Alfa Romeos. The fast steering, that engine and the
50 11 May 2022
detailing are all brilliant. OK, so you’d have to cover the nice Italian flag insignia in the carbon-fibre centre console, too, but the green-and-white stitching, glossy carbon fibre, cool aluminium shift paddles and subtle badging inside make the Giulia feel special and highlight to me that it’s something a little exceptional. For £73,999 you’d expect so as well, which does serve to highlight some minor flaws, such as the infotainment. Even though it’s been updated over the original car with this facelifted model, it still isn’t a rival for the best in the business. But it works, I can get Radio 4 and my phone connects quickly every time I get in the car, so it meets a minimum standard for me. I’ve already pushed its practicality with a trip to the Lake District over the Easter bank holiday, and while my passengers felt there could have been a little more room in the rear, the 480-litre boot took lots of luggage, even if the boot lid does clang shut with a vibration when you slam it. These drawbacks disappear once you get moving, though. That soundtrack reels you in and on some superb and surprisingly quiet Lakeland roads I really discovered what I love about the Giulia Quadrifoglio. The motor, steering and chassis are all perfectly suited to each other. It’s a great road car, balancing just the right amount of control when it comes to the ride in
“On some superb and surprisingly quiet Lakeland roads I really discovered what I love about the Alfa”
Dynamic or Race mode, and offering a level of forgiveness with the active suspension in its softest setting that made the long journey north from Buckinghamshire feel like a simple, short hop. This is where the Alfa Romeo bucks the traditional national stereotype. In the past you might have had to make compromises dynamically for either the styling (I think it looks brilliant, by the way – especially in this spec, with Misano Blue paint, grey wheels and yellow brake calipers), or one element of the package might have overshadowed the others, but that’s not so here. It offers something different to German rivals, which are very competent technically, but maybe not quite as full of personality; and the Giulia in all forms has always felt different to the very British Jaguar XE. I never get tired of jumping into it, the sunlight glinting off the bare carbon fibre of the bonnet’s construction, just visible from the driver’s seat. After just over 1,400 miles in the car, I keep discovering these little points, which I’m really enjoying. Less so the average fuel economy, which at 24.9mpg is not so great when I’ve covered many constant-speed long journeys, but that is to be expected given the performance on offer. I expect that fuel economy figure to drop quite considerably once I get the Giulia on track, which I’m hoping to do this summer, to really explore its true colours.

Second opinion
“Technology and quality will be a real test for the Alfa over the next six months or so. How easy the car is to live with and how much you can depend on those systems when you really need them, not to mention build quality and reliability. But so far the Giulia is proving promising, so let’s hope this continues.”

Ford Ranger
FIFTH REPORT Pick-up truck is put through its paces on trip to Hockenheim for track day Kim Adams
products@autoexpress.co.uk
THERE’S nothing like a road trip to reveal the best and worst aspects of a car. Hours and hundreds of miles behind the wheel exaggerate those plusses and minuses that can be tolerated or missed on a short commute or supermarket shop. We’ve already completed several lengthy trips in our Ford Ranger, including a week’s holiday in Wales. But none has been as long or as intense as the haul to the German GP venue at Hockenheim for a track day in my Honda-engined Elise. The trip started at Donington Park, where I was competing in the Lotus Cup UK Speed Championship, before heading to Folkestone, near the Channel Tunnel terminal, overnight. Despite a 7am start, the terminal was rammed, with the queue for passport control looping around the car park, thanks to the start of the Easter holidays and the absence
52 11 May 2022
of P&O ferries. One of the few advantages of towing a trailer was being pulled out of the queue and into the large vehicle/caravan area, then fed directly back into the waiting line. It was my first trip abroad towing a car since Brexit and I was relieved that there were no problems, despite reading online fears about carnets and bonds. Once in France, the 400-mile slog south began. On smooth Continental motorways the Ford excelled, with its firm but compliant suspension further damped by a trailer and load bay packed with wheels, tyres, tools and spares. At around the legal limit, the punchy 213bhp engine was spinning at less than 2,000rpm and was barely audible, making for relaxed progress. The adaptive cruise control came in to its own again by regulating the speed as the long line of traffic slowed and accelerated in front. This was particularly handy on lengthy stretches of two-lane German autobahn, where trucks and cars towing
trailers are prohibited from overtaking. While frustrating to be stuck at the speed of the slowest truck, at least the cruise control took the strain out of keeping up with the train. It did reveal yet again the clunky shifts of the 10-speed automatic gearbox, though, and the noticeable thud as it downshifts at speed starts to grate after a while. Signage of the overtaking restriction was generally good, but there was also a useful reminder on the Ranger’s dashboard, thanks to the pick-up’s traffic-sign recognition. The long trip meant a couple of stops for fuel and comfort breaks, where finding places to stop with the trailer in service areas packed with trucks prohibited from driving on a Sunday was a challenge. At least it meant a decent walk to stretch the legs while getting to the restaurant and facilities. Although the Ford’s seats are comfortable, despite the higher-than-usual foot position, the low centre-console armrest eventually takes its toll on the arms. Long distances at
the wheel would be more tolerable if it could be adjusted fore and aft, and for height. At Hockenheim, the Ford proved again that there are few better vehicles to take on a track day. There are no whiffs of superunleaded fuel or tyre rubber to spoil a meal eaten inside the cabin and, when the sun shines, the tailgate is a comfortable spot to dine al fresco, without the need to pack folding chairs. Not that the load bed lacks for space, because it easily swallows our track kit; the back seats take the overnight bags. Door to door, including collecting the Elise en route to Donington, we covered just over 1,200 miles in four days. Fuel consumption with the trailer behind dropped from its usual average of around 28mpg to 22, which was to be expected from prolonged running at the legal limits. Not perfect, but the Ranger established itself as a great travel companion for this kind of trip and to prove it I’m heading to the Isle of Man with the Elise.

Dawn’s fears that the two-metre sheets of plywood wouldn’t fit inside the Lexus were unfounded
Lexus UX 300e OUR Lexus electric SUV has been working hard during its time on the fleet. The UX 300e’s custodian, picture editor Dawn Grant, has already shown how much can be piled into the car’s cabin during a trip to a recycling centre (Issue 1,719), but on a recent visit to her local B&Q DIY store she became nervous that she may have pushed things a little too far. Dawn’s husband Dave was making a new bath panel to help with a bathroom refurbishment, and the two sheets of two-metre-long plywood didn’t look like they were going to fit into the baby SUV. However, with a slight adjustment to the position of the Lexus’s front passenger seat, our resident DIY experts were able to load the wood without any warping. Fortunately, Dave is used to driving vans, so he wasn’t too bothered by the badly compromised rear visibility that resulted. We doubt many examples of the UX 300e are being used like this, but for anyone considering buying into the concept of an urban EV as a single vehicle, it’s good to know that it can cope with large and awkward loads.

Second opinion
OUR Polestar 2 generally flies discreetly under the radar, but it does have a few sparkly, shiny trinkets. And after leaving the Polestar in a retail park for an hour recently, executive editor Stuart Milne noticed someone had unscrewed the 2’s chunky, gold-coloured valve caps. It’s frustrating to have them removed in a well lit car park. But they’re unlikely to look pristine on the new ‘owner’s’ car: the thieves will hopefully by now have noticed that the ‘Swedish gold’ paint finish was flaking off, either as a result of road debris or the slightly corrosive properties of brake dust. If commenters on one Polestar forum are right, the thieves may find any corrosion could fuse the caps to the valves, which would represent some pleasing divine justice, Stuart reckons. In the meantime he’ll be heading to a spares shop to purchase four cheap plastic dust caps.
the tools and kit needed for the track day, while the overnight bags fitted in the rear seats. The tailgate made a handy seat, too
WE DON’T Recent hikes in the price of diesel have taken the fill-up bill north of £100, which hurts. The centre armrest isn’t in a great position for long journeys
“Kim is right to highlight the Ranger’s driving position. The dash has plenty of mod cons from Ford’s passenger cars, but the shortage of adjustment is a tell-tale pick-up compromise.”
Alex Ingram Chief reviewer
www.autoexpress.co.uk
Verdict PICK-UPS are probably better known for carrying heavy loads directly, but our Ranger has shown its strengths beyond this. The Ford is a fantastic long-distance towing vehicle that’s absolutely perfect for track days.

VALETPRO AIMS FOR EASIER CERAMIC COAT

NEW PRODUCT ValetPRO 24Plus ceramic coating
Price: £48 Contact: valetpro.global
MANY car care producers focus on ceramic coatings, attracted by their durability. They aren’t always the easiest for DIYers to apply, but a new product hopes to overcome this. ValetPRO’s 24Plus aims for a good blend of durability and ease of application, which are usually conflicting demands. The most durable ceramic coatings need professional application, extensive preparation and sometimes specialist equipment, while the spray-and-wipe alternative’s life can be measured in months rather than weeks. ValetPRO’s first ceramic coating has been developed with extended flash times to allow users to ensure there are no high spots. A 30ml bottle of 24Plus costs £48 and it comes with an applicator pad and suede cloths, so all you need are your own gloves and a suitable face mask. To apply, just invert the bottle twice then put a few drops on the cloth wrapped round the applicator. Cover a section 40x40cm each time, buffing the coating as it flashes before moving to the next section. Once applied, the car needs to be kept indoors for at least 12 hours before driving.
Q
Can I make cleaning easier?
A
REACHING the lower parts of the car is usually the problem. Professionals often lift the car a foot or so with something like a QuickJack, but you can expect to pay around a £1,000 for one. A cheaper option is a mechanic’s seat, which eliminates most of the need to bend down, while giving access to sills, wheels and the like. Our test winner is the Hilka Pro-Craft Mechanic’s Seat (above), which costs around £50.
Q

A
IT certainly needs investigating and it sounds as if there’s not enough oil in the engine. The dipstick may have been swapped over the years, so drain the oil then fill with the correct amount and check the reading. If the problem persists, the pick-up may have become blocked. Drop the sump and clean the filter if you can, or use a flushing oil to try and shift any blockage.

The tech stiffens tread blocks to cut rolling resistance, while the mixing of the compound has been improved to strengthen the chemical bond, plus there’s more silica included, which is claimed to improve economy and wear, and give better wet-road handling. There’s also a new tread pattern and construction, which provide a better contact area. This minimises wear on the outer edges of the tyre, which also improves braking on wet roads. Handling in the dry has been sharpened thanks to revised tread blocks, plus engineers have reduced noise by increasing the number from 70 in the Prime 3 to 80 in the newcomer. There are 67 sizes in the new range, covering 16-20-inch rims and including versions specifically designed for SUVs.

NEW PRODUCT Pioneer VREC-130RS
Price: £69.99 (plus SD card) Rating: Resolution: 1080p Contact: pioneer-car.eu/uk
THERE’S a lot to like about Pioneer’s cheapest dash cam. It looks decent value – and smart too, with a compact shape and a two-inch screen. The suction cup mount is small, so the package will fit behind a rear-view mirror, or you can easily swap it between vehicles. There are compromises, though. The footage is reasonable, but it lacks the detail to pick out registrations unless the cars are close and slow-moving. A bigger omission is the lack of a GPS sensor to give speed and location data. And there’s no WiFi connection, either, so you can only download files direct from the memory card.
Low-cost Pioneer cam sets sights on Ring champion Tom Barnard
BUYING a dash cam doesn’t need to be a serious investment. It is possible to spend hundreds, but improvements in technology mean that impressive devices with decent-quality footage can be bought for two-figure sums. That’s far from nothing, but it will seem like a good investment if it saves you time when you’re making an insurance claim. Our favourite dash cam currently is the impressive Ring RSDC3000, but
there is a new challenger from Pioneer in the form of its compact VREC-130RS. Besides looking smart, it is a fair bit cheaper, at £69.99. For both this and the Ring, though, you will need to factor a suitable SD card into the budget. The Pioneer is certainly good value, but we consider GPS location and a speed sensor are essential for a dash cam. That, and better-quality footage, mean we think the Ring is worth the extra money and so it retains its crown.
BEST BUY Ring RSDC3000 Price: £89.95 (plus SD card) Rating: Resolution: 1296p Contact: ringautomotive.com
LIKE the Pioneer, the RSDC3000 is small enough to be hidden behind your rear-view mirror, yet it has a bigger three-inch screen. The Ring also has the advantage of a WiFi connection, which means you can connect to Ring’s app on your smartphone to view and download footage without having to remove the camera or the memory card. The 12V plug used to power the Ring also has a built-in USB port, so you can still charge a phone or other device while using the camera. The RSDC3000’s footage is notably better than the Pioneer’s in all light conditions, too, thanks to its 1296p resolution. The video files also have a stamp that includes GPS location and speed data, which could prove crucial if the video is to be used as evidence after an incident.

WINDSCREEN wiper blades are vital to safety and comfort, yet we tend to neglect and ignore them until they fall apart or an MoT tester condemns them. These thin strips of rubber are expected to keep your car’s windscreen clean in conditions ranging from subzero winter frosts to the baking sun in the height of summer. They degrade slowly, so you may not notice as they gradually start to smear, squeak and shudder. For less than the price of three gallons of fuel, you could upgrade to new blades, which will make driving in rain far more pleasant, and safer. We tested eight pairs of wipers on a Nissan Qashqai, which uses a 26-inch blade on the driver’s side and a 17-inch one for the passenger’s half of the screen. The larger blade is more likely to show up weaknesses. Some Qashqais use old-fashioned blades with a flexible hinged metal superstructure, but we chose the modern, flat aero-type retrofit, because these are more popular than the older versions.
58 11 May 2022
How we tested them TO test our blades to the extremes of temperature, we placed them in a freezer overnight and fitted them to the car early in the morning while the temperature was still in single figures. We tried them across a dry screen, then with the washer jets to see how they cleared the screen. We then simulated different rates of rainfall using a hose on all three wiper speeds. We were looking for noises, juddering and smearing. We also considered how easy they were to fit, appearance and value for money. Prices are for a pair of blades, taken from online sources at the time of writing.

IT’S yet another win for the Bosch Aerotwin wipers, which have yet to be beaten in our tests. They offer quiet, smear-free wiping in all conditions, and after having used them for two years since the previous test, we can vouch that they are long-lasting, too. The fixing to the arm features an extra lip to hold them securely and this seems to make a difference in holding the blades firmly, keeping the pressure even across the screen. There is a small chink in their armour, though, because we did get the larger blade to judder slightly when it was fresh out of the freezer, but that movement soon disappeared.

RUMOUR has it that Valeo is the company that supplies the factory-fit wiper blades to Nissan (and many other car companies). But it’s far cheaper to buy the Valeo’s blades online than to let your local dealer fit them at service time. That’s not to say they’re cheap, though, and £23.99 is at the pricier end of the spectrum in this test, but their quality is good, with a solid-feeling connection. They live up to their name, too, being remarkably quiet, with no judder or ‘clack’ when changing direction. Only some minor smearing and a few pence price difference separate the Silcencios from the winning Bosch pair.

RECOMMENDED IF your MoT test is looming and your bank balance is looking unhealthy, then it’s tempting to take a risk on these unbranded blades from eBay. The packaging is certainly no-nonsense; the blades arrived in a plastic bag and tatty cardboard sleeve that had no branding or instructions at all. They were a little awkward to fit and noticeably thinner than the others here, but they did a surprisingly decent job of wiping. There was some minor smearing at the top of the largest blade, while the bottom showed a slight judder when cold, but you can’t argue with the price. 11 May 2022 59

WE have no complaints about the Trico blades’ performance. They were among the easiest to fit and the wiping was smear-free even after a night in the freezer. If we were nit-picking, we’d say that they had a little more ‘thump’ noise when changing direction than their Bosch rivals, but it was never enough to become irritating. There’s only one factor keeping them from challenging for top spot: the price. At £31.99, they’re the most expensive here by some margin.
Michelin Stealth Hybrid Price: £22 Rating: Contact: wiperblades.co.uk
MICHELIN does things differently, so instead of its test rivals’ singlepiece ‘aero’ blades, it’s combined with a metal superstructure. To make sure they don’t whistle at high speeds like old fashioned designs, the framework is enclosed in a rubbery casing. The result is chunky and heavier than other blades, but the water-clearing performance was good, with only a hint of smearing. They were quiet and judder-free in use, too.
Lucas AIRFLEX Price: £17.69 Rating: Contact: wiperblades.co.uk
THESE Lucas blades seem reasonable value for money for a known brand and are the easiest to fit. They simply slide on to the arms with no clips involved. We were worried this might mean they are less secure, but we couldn’t shake them out of place during our testing. The wiping performance was acceptable, but fell short of the best here, with some smearing in light rain and an audible ‘thump’ when the blades changed direction. We’d spend the extra on the Bosch.
Halfords Wiper Blades Price: £29 Rating: Contact: halfords.com
HALFORDS’ website recommended the R65 and R41 combination for our Qashqai. The passenger-side blade was an inch shorter than the others here, but It seemed to make little difference to visibility. The pair were quiet, too, but the larger blade left some minor smearing at the top of the screen. The price is the main downside, though, and we’d expect own-brand blades to be much better value.
Verdict “Test returnee Valeo came very close to matching the Aerotwins, but couldn’t quite topple the champ” 60 11 May 2022
THE Bosch Aerotwins retain their Best Buy crown for another 12 months. They have risen in price this year, but still offer decent value, the best screen-clearing performance and are quiet, too. Test returnee Valeo came very close to matching the Aerotwins, but couldn’t quite topple the champ. Third place was a real surprise, because the budget eBay blades did a perfectly acceptable job at a quarter of the cost of some wipers in the test. 1. Bosch Aerotwin 2. Valeo Silencio 3.

What’s my best bet to get failed clutch sorted out? THE clutch failed on my three-year-old, 33,000-mile car and the dealer wants me to pay for the repair. The manufacturer’s customer services told me a clutch’s life expectancy is 60,000 miles. What can I do? JC, E-mail

UNFORTUNATELY, manufacturers tend to class clutches as wear-and-tear items and, as such, don’t replace them under warranty. The only exception is when it can be proven the clutch failure was the result of a manufacturing defect, which is easier said than done. Because your car is out of warranty anyway, your only real option is to shop around for a cheaper replacement quote from an independent.

“I EXPECTED better fuel economy from my X5. It’s currently averaging 30mpg in real-world driving.”
“Once you work out how to input a destination into the sat-nav, it works really well.”
“Servicing is much too expensive at a franchised BMW dealership.”
“Interior build quality is highly impressive; it feels as though it will stand the test of time.”
“The front seat is extremely uncomfortable; the padding is far too firm for me.”
“Excellent performance from the engine. Gearchanges are imperceptible.”
“The proximity sensors and other driver aids can be far too sensitive at times.”
“Autonomous emergency braking worked well on the one occasion I needed it.”
“I like my X5, but I paid a lot for it. I’m not sure it represents excellent value for money.”

IF there were no signs detailing parking restrictions in place while using the charger, you could take photos to evidence this if possible. The firm may be a member of the British Parking Association or similar organisation, in which case it will have to follow a code of conduct. In any case, you could send off an appeal with the evidence attached and hope the charge is overturned.
Q
Can son get extra time to complete his theory test? MY 17-year-old son has an extra-time concession in school exams because of his learning needs. When he takes his driving theory test, will he be able to receive a similar concession, or is there no facility for this? Name withheld, E-mail
A
YES, you should contact the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency to get the ball rolling, but those with specific learning needs can be afforded concessions, such as extra time in their theory tests. If necessary, staff can be provided to read the questions for your son and input his answers. You’ll need to supply written communication, such as a letter or E-mail, from a teacher or doctor for this.

EVER since it was founded at the end of the 19th Century, Renault hasn’t been afraid to be bold with its cars. In some cases it has reaped rewards, but on other occasions the losses have mounted because customers weren’t interested. The original Koleos SUV is a good example of where things went wrong, because even though it was a mainstream model in a growing segment, it was something of a sales disaster in the UK for Renault. That didn’t stop the company bringing the second-generation Koleos here though, and while this also failed to make its mark, it wasn’t a bad car as such; it was simply up against some more accomplished rivals, many of which offered seven seats compared with the Renault’s five.

NEED TO KNOW THE pick of the bunch is a facelifted GT Line, because it came with extra kit over the previous range-topping Signature Nav, but cost less when new thanks to Renault rejigging the range.
History
THE Koleos arrived in the UK in August 2017 with a choice of 128bhp 1.6 (dCi 130) and 173bhp 2.0 (dCi 175) diesel powerplants, with the smaller engine offered only with a six-speed manual gearbox. The bigger engine came with either the manual or a seven-speed automatic, the latter marketed as X-Tronic. Initially, there were two trim levels (Dynamique S, Signature Nav) but in March 2018 a range-topping Initiale Paris grade was added. In November 2018 the range was simplified to Iconic and GT Line, and the dCi 130 engine was dropped. Another range revamp in September 2019 saw a 1.7-litre dCi 150 engine introduced, while the 2.0litre unit was upgraded to 187bhp (dCi 190). A mild restyle brought LED headlights, self parking and upgraded interior trim. STYLING Koleos looks like an enlarged Kadjar, because that’s exactly what it is. This does create lots of extra cabin space, though

Spare wheel The Koleos came with a repair kit rather than a spare tyre, but you can buy a space saver from a dealer for £120.
Towing The dCi 130, dCi 175 4WD and Blue dCi 190 X-Tronic can tow 2,000kg; the Blue dCi 150 1,500kg, and the dCi 175 4WD X-Tronic 1,650kg.
Drivetrain The 1.6 dCi 130 and 1.7 dCi 150 came only with frontwheel drive; the 2.0 dCi 175 and dCi 190 were four-wheel drive only.

Renault Koleos
BUYING CARS
ORIGINS This is the second-generation Koleos, which was based on the same platform as the slightly smaller Renault Kadjar, and the Qashqai and X-Trail built by sister firm Nissan
ult Koleos Economy The biggest gripe on owner forums is fuel consumption. The 2.0-litre engine seems to give up to 40mpg, dropping to 26-28mpg in town.
www.autoexpress.co.uk/driver-power
OUR VIEW THE Koleos didn’t sell in big enough numbers to make it into our new or used Driver Power surveys. Plenty of other Renaults have featured, but they’ve invariably been in the lower half of the tables, which is rather disappointing. In our 2021 Driver Power Brands survey, Renault came 20th out of 29 entries, with top-10 scores for low running costs, userfriendly navigation systems and decent refinement.
YOUR VIEW JAMIE Smart from Leicester owns a 2018 Koleos dCi 175. He comments: “I didn’t need seven seats, and the Koleos has extra room for my teenage kids, but the boot is still a good size. My Koleos is well equipped and a great cruiser, but I don’t like the automatic transmission much. Running costs have been low and reliability good, so while popular wisdom suggests that the Koleos is outclassed, for me it’s ideal.”
www.autoexpress.co.uk
FROM £13,500 Renault’s biggest-ever SUV offers premium quality at a great-value used price Expert’s verdict Tristan Shale-Hester Deputy consumer ed. THE Renault Koleos has plenty going for it as a used buy. It’s roomy for passengers, all trim levels have plenty of standard kit and it feels fairly premium. The ride isn’t great around town, however, and there might not be as much boot space as you want, plus some buyers will be put off by the lack of a seven-seat option. In a crowded sector of the market, it’s advisable to test drive a range of used models before committing to the Renault.
EQUIPMENT All versions of the Koleos come with generous equipment, while boot capacity is decent for a five-seat SUV. There’s 565 litres on offer, or 1,795 litres with the seats folded
Common faults
NO Koleos owners have reported faults to us and the second-generation model we’re looking at here was never recalled. Renault finished 20th in our 2021 Driver Power Brands survey – 16.38 per cent of owners experienced a fault with their car.

YOU need at least £17,000 for a good Koleos, although there are examples for less. The cheapest we found was £14,999; this was a 67-plate 45,000-mile Dynamique S Nav with the weaker dCi 130 engine. For £17,000 you can buy an 18-plate 45,000-mile dCi 175 Dynamique S Nav; 4WD with the X-Tronic auto adds about £1,500 more. Signature Nav is the most common trim followed by Dynamique S Nav and then GT Line; Iconic and Initiale Paris editions are very rare. Two-thirds of the cars for sale are automatics, most of which also feature fourwheel drive. The most expensive cars are on dealer forecourts at around £25,000, for which you can buy a 69-plate 15,000-mile 2.0 dCi GT Line X-Tronic.

REGARDLESS of which engine is fitted, the Koleos needs to be serviced every 12 months or 18,000 miles. Services alternate between Minor and Major, which are effectively an inspection and then an oil and filter change. The two services are priced at £124 and £199-£244, and they can be combined for £304, but by the time a Koleos has had its third birthday it’s eligible for cut-price maintenance. From this point on, more comprehensive services are offered, billed as Essential (£169) and Full (£219). The former is effectively an oil and filter change with an inspection; the latter includes a few extra replacement parts. Every three years or 72,000 miles the brake fluid has to be renewed (at £108, or £69 using the Essential programme), and the coolant needs to be replaced every five years or 90,000 miles, at £229.

Recalls Interior
APART from the fact that there’s no seven-seat option, it’s pretty much all good news in here. The materials used are generally high-quality, there’s lots of space front and rear, and the dashboard is well designed so it’s easy to use – if lacking in flair. Posher models have a bigger display and leather trim, which makes things feel even more special. Boot capacity is good (but not class-leading) at 565 litres with the back seats up, or 1,795 litres with them folded down. A seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system was standard fit on the Koleos, while some models had a larger 8.7-inch display.
Which one?
WE’D choose a 2.0-litre engine because it’s usefully more muscular than the 1.6 and 1.7-litre units, but the X-Tronic transmission is frustrating to use, which is why we’d opt for a manual gearbox if possible. Standard kit is generous, with even the entry-level Koleos having cruise control, auto lights and wipers, traffic-sign recognition, privacy glass and a rear camera, plus front and rear parking sensors. It also gets 18-inch alloys, an opening panoramic glass roof, electrically folding door mirrors, dual-zone climate control, a seven-inch touchscreen, DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Signature Nav features LED headlights, leather trim, heated front seats with electric adjustment for the driver, and 19-inch wheels plus a powered tailgate. Paris Initiale add heating to the rear seats, steering wheel and windscreen, Nappa leather trim, and a 13-speaker Bose hi-fi.
Alternatives
THE Koleos is up against some very talented opposition, most of which offer seven seats. The Koleos shares a lot with the Nissan X-Trail which has seven seats as an option,
www.autoexpress.co.uk
PROSPECTIVE buyers will be pleased to learn that Renault hasn’t recalled this version of the Koleos, although the original model was recalled on one occasion, because some cars left the factory with a faulty steering column. Since the Koleos arrived in late summer 2017, Renault has issued just 23 recalls across all of its car model ranges; the company’s commercial vehicles are logged separately. That might sound like a lot, but it actually shows the huge strides that Renault has made in improving its quality control. However, those recalls were all issued because of potential safety glitches that included faulty seatbelts, gearboxes, airbags and cracked hubs. Other things that could go wrong included problematic catalytic converters, chafing wiring, glass roofs detaching and fuel leaks.
PRACTICALITY There’s decent space for three in the back of the Koleos, but most of its rivals are seven-seaters while a roomy cabin and a smart exterior design make up for the dated tech inside. The Kia Sorento and related Hyundai Santa Fe are well equipped, good to drive and well made, plus they come with long warranties. The Skoda Kodiaq and SEAT Tarraco look good, drive well, and are plentiful and well made, like the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, which is also related. The Citroen C5 Aircross offers great value but just five seats, while the seven-seat Peugeot 5008 looks great inside and out.
Verdict
THERE’S a lot to like about the Koleos, but it’s also easy to see why it didn’t sell in big numbers. When the Koleos arrived, we tested it against the SsangYong Rexton and Mitsubishi Outlander. The Renault won, thanks to its modern cabin, better driving experience and greater comfort. However, we ran a Koleos dCi 175 Dynamique S on our fleet and it wasn’t an easy car to bond with, thanks to its
thirst (we averaged 36mpg), and an engine that lacked refinement because of the way the automatic transmission works. For some people the Koleos will be the perfect large SUV, but there are more rounded alternatives out there, which is why we’d suggest comparing the Renault with a few alternatives before committing.

Premium SUVs are great all-rounders, but which is the best used buy?
A LARGE, luxurious 4x4 can still be a rewarding car to drive. Of course, switchback mountain roads aren’t their natural stomping ground, but modern, sporty SUVs are more than capable of combining taut control and cruising comfort surprisingly well. The best feel a lot smaller from behind the wheel than they actually are. And, with four-wheel drive and roomy interiors, they’re among the most versatile cars on sale. The Porsche Cayenne Coupé, however, cuts a different shape to most of its rivals,
www.autoexpress.co.uk
as well as the standard Cayenne it’s based on. As its name suggests, the brand’s flagship SUV has a sportier silhouette, and it shares parts with even more exotic 4x4s, such as the Bentley Bentayga and Lamborghini Urus. Although the Cayenne name isn’t new anymore and the Coupé has a lot to boast about, Land Rover arguably invented the luxury SUV. With its brutish, squared-off stance, the Range Rover Sport is a more conventional proposition than the Porsche. An all-new model has been revealed (see
P12), but the current offering remains strong. Shorter, sharper and more wieldy than its fullsize sibling, the Sport aims to add a touch of dynamism to the Range Rover’s repertoire. When we compared these rivals as new cars, the Cayenne Coupé came out on top. However, the Range Rover Sport is a popular and impressive car, and buying second-hand is a very different game. Is the Porsche still top dog, or should you spend your cash on a used Range Rover? Read on to find out which gets our vote.

FOR
Slick powertrain, extremely strong build quality, particularly in the cabin, feels dynamic and sporty to drive
AGAINST
Roofline restricts rear headroom, unsettled ride at lower speeds, boot space also compromised by coupé styling
THE Cayenne is one of the most rewarding SUVs to drive, and that didn’t change with the switch to this new bodystyle. The bolder look won’t be to all tastes, but the Porsche has the muscle to back it up. The entry-level version uses a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine, sending 335bhp to all four wheels – 65bhp shy of the Range Rover’s figure, but still enough for a faster 5.2-second 0-60mph time in our tests. Weighing 255kg less than its rival, the Cayenne also delivers in the bends. The controls are well weighted and body movement is nicely contained, encouraging you to tap into its performance. The gearbox gives snappy shifts, too, but while the Cayenne is settled and cosseting at motorway speeds, it doesn’t smother poor road surfaces quite so well in town. The interior is well isolated from noise, though, and the driving position is suitably sporty. Material quality is excellent – better than in the Range Rover – and the design is clean and modern. The widescreen infotainment system is slick, too, but the boot is 188 litres smaller than the Range Rover’s, and headroom in the rear is tighter thanks to the cut-down roofline.

British SUV is more practical than Porsche, but less comfortable and engaging WHILE the Range Rover Sport looks more traditional, its key fundamentals aren’t far from the Porsche’s. Both SUVs have a similar footprint, and use 3.0-litre six-cylinder engines and eight-speed automatic gearboxes. The Range Rover is heavier, though, and doesn’t have the precise, tied-down feel of the Porsche. Even so, the German car is also marginally the more comfortable of the two. The P400 model, with a straight-six mild-hybrid petrol engine, is the closest match for the V6 Porsche. With 395bhp and 550Nm of torque, it’s more powerful than the Cayenne, but the Range Rover’s extra weight blunts its initial acceleration. It’s a shade faster when up to speed, but its gearbox isn’t as slick. The Range Rover does win back points inside though, thanks to a classy cabin with heated leather seats, a reversing camera, digital instruments and a dual-screen infotainment system featuring Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Quality isn’t up to the level of the Cayenne’s, but the cabin is stylish and roomy, with enough rear legroom and more headroom than its rival. The 780-litre boot is much bigger, too.

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 battle hots up ● Vandoorne leads for Mercedes ● ABT team to return next year Stephen Errity

MERCEDES’ Stoffel Vandoorne leads the FIA Formula E drivers’ championship standings as the series heads to his team’s home track in Berlin for a double-header. Vandoorne secured victory last time out in Monaco to lead on 81 points, with his fellow podium finishers in that race, JeanEric Vergne (DS Techeetah) and Mitch Evans (Jaguar), second and third on 75 and 72. Envision Racing’s Robin Frijns completes a tightly packed top four with his tally of 71 points, while Mercedes EQ, DS Techeetah and Jaguar TCS Racing are also first, second and third in the team points post-Monaco. “It has not been an easy start to the season, but it shows the consistency we have; I am extremely happy,” the Belgian ex-F1 ace Vandoorne said after the event. Last year, Berlin served as the venue for Mercedes’ championship triumph, when it played host to season seven’s doubleheader finale. Race wins that weekend

went the way of current ROKiT Venturi man Lucas di Grassi and Norman Nato – who is now Jaguar’s test and reserve pilot. Ahead of this year’s visit to the German capital, Formula E has announced a new five-year deal to race in the Brazilian city of São Paulo, with the first event potentially happening next season. The city’s tourism CEO Gustavo Pires inked the deal over the Monaco e-Prix weekend, and the move was warmly welcomed by Brazilian driver di Grassi. “Not only does this milestone signify the return of the pinnacle of electric motorsport to South America, but it’s an important step towards the electrification of the Brazilian automotive market,” he said. “On a personal note, there is nothing like the pride and energy of the Brazilian racing fan; it’ll be a dream come true for me to race in this series for a home crowd.” São Paulo mayor Ricardo Nunes added: “Hosting an E-Prix is completely lined up
with the city’s objectives: to attract events that promote São Paulo’s image to the whole world, to move the economy and create jobs with events tourism and to encourage sustainable development.” Elsewhere, Formula E bosses have yet to decide whether they’ll replace this season’s planned Vancouver round in Canada, which had to be postponed with just weeks to go. Following Berlin, there’s currently a three-week gap in the schedule before the next round in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 4 June. There has also been news of another team joining the grid for season nine: ABT Sportsline, which contested every Formula E season until last year as the Audi works partner, has confirmed that it’ll return as an independent for the allnew ‘Gen3’ era, starting in early 2023. The team won the series’ first-ever race, held in Beijing, China, back in 2014, and clinched the drivers’

title with di Grassi over the course of the championship’s third season in 2016-17. “Formula E has always had a big place in our hearts and we have never made a secret of the fact that we want to be back,” said Hans-Jürgen Abt, managing partner. “We are now talking to our current and potential commercial partners. The goal is to bring a strong team to the championship, both on and off track.” ABT has secured an as-yet-unconfirmed powertrain supplier for 2023 and is looking at options for its driver line-up right now. “We have very clear ideas,” said the team’s CEO Thomas Biermaier. “We will probably be the underdogs, unlike the last time when we were a factory team. “That’s why it’s important that we have quick and clever drivers in the cockpit, who fit in well with us. The first talks are exciting and very positive, so I’m sure we’ll have our team together soon.” Formula E’s chief championship officer Alberto Longo added: “I am delighted to welcome ABT back where it belongs. The team is a proven success story, with recordsetting points and podium finishes, so its return is positive for fans and the sport.”

Director of vehicle attributes Gavan Kershaw drove the car, which has already sold out its initial production run, taking VIP guests for some passenger laps. Testing of the car was also carried out at Portimão in Portugal; there’s no word yet on which team or teams will give the Emira its first official race appearance.

New two-car team for World Rallycross A SIXTH team has been announced for the electric-only 2022 FIA World Rallycross Championship, which will kick off at the Nürburgring on 31 July. The Construction Equipment Dealer Team (CE Dealer Team) will field a pair of unbranded rallycross supercars built on the series’ standard Kreisel Electric chassis, run by powerhouse Swedish touring-car outfit PWR. A driver lineup will be revealed in due course.
Ingram out front as BTCC pack races to Brands Hatch HYUNDAI i30 N driver Tom Ingram leads the British Touring Car Championship drivers’ points standings heading into this weekend’s triple-header at Brands Hatch in Kent – the second event of the series’ new-for-2022 hybrid era. Ingram, Halfords Honda man Gordon Shedden and ROKiT BMW driver Jake Hill were the three race victors at the Donington Park season opener, although consistency from reigning champion Ash Sutton has seen him slot into third in the standings behind Ingram and Shedden heading into Brands Hatch. Speaking post-Donington, Ingram said: “Becoming the first person ever to win in a hybrid touring car was awesome, and quite a cool thing to be able to say. “I’ve got to say, not needing to keep adjusting the set-up to adapt to [success ballast] makes a massive difference. Now you can just make small tweaks rather

than having to reinvent the wheel, and I like being more in control of my destiny. “I feel in a very good place with the Hyundai at the moment. I’m going to Brands pumped up to qualify on pole.” Other BTCC figures echoed Ingram’s positive view on the hybrid system, with series director Alan Gow commenting: “The racing was fantastic, and the drivers have unanimously confirmed that hybrid has added to and improved the overall dynamic. There’s lots of hard work ahead, but I have no doubt the introduction of hybrid in the BTCC will be a success.”

YOU’VE seen and felt it all in recent months – prices going through the roof, the life-altering pain of Britain’s cost of living crisis, a dramatic drop in your disposable income. And although there’s no point in beating yourself up over out-of-control inflation, you at least need to be better tuned into the financial realities of motoring life in 2022. For those keen to buy a factory-fresh vehicle for the first time, the new car at less than £10,000 is now toast. Dacia’s bog-standard Sandero recently became an £11,495 car, while Ford says its cheapest Fiesta is £17,905 and Volkswagen has decided its most basic Polo is worth almost £19,000. Such price tags are simply too high for entry-level superminis largely driven by youngsters in modestly paid jobs or earning even less on apprenticeships. Why can’t Motoring’s most outspoken we have more stripped-out, low-powered, L-spec and opinionated columnist sounds off models for first-time new car buyers and, come to that, newly retired pensioners on tight budgets? As for today’s 20 to 40-somethings with young kids, For those keen to the pure-electric family hatchback is supposed to be buy a factory-fresh for them. But can it be? Often at £40,000-£50,000, mid-sized EVs are way beyond the financial reach of vehicle for the first the majority of mums and dads. And the car industry time, the new car needs to face this unpalatable fact. at less than £10,000 The murkiness of the energy business resulted in the arrival of the £10 gallon at some BP pumps, while retail is now toast prices of over £20 an hour for recharging an EV at many, if not most, public chargepoints were the icing on the cake. Meanwhile, BP’s profits more than doubled to £4.1billion in the first three months of 2022. Shell – another firm not noted for its low prices – almost tripled its profits to £7.3billion during the same quarter. Interest rates have just risen to their highest level since 2009. And within months the headline inflation rate is predicted to top 10 per cent – its highest level for 40 years. APR rates, monthly leasing charges, you name it, inevitably they’ll rise. Also, there’s increasing and worrying evidence of rip-off renewal quotes from insurance companies. Real-world examples: in recent days, Auto Express Editor-in-chief Steve Fowler has publicly called out LV= for raising the price of one of his policies by over 50 per cent, despite no claims or changes in the last year. Separately, the same company is trying to slap an increase of 60 per cent on one of my policies, despite the fact that, again, no changes or claims have been made. Shouldn’t there be a law against this sort of thing? But enough of the sometimes understandable, but too often wholly unjustifiable price increases in 2022. Instead, let’s identify the genuine car-related bargains that can still be enjoyed. For starters, the seven-seat Dacia Jogger for less money than a Fiesta or Polo is a no-brainer. Or how about an official reduction of up to £8,770 on some Peugeot EVs? And I’m delighted to announce that the sub-£10,000 new car is about to make a welcome return. OK, the Citroen Ami is technically a quadricycle, but it’s a fine little runabout. And at circa £7,000 it’s the showroom bargain of the year, or possibly the decade. Whether you’re a cash-strapped youngster or pensioner, it might offer you your only chance to buy new.
