2015 BMW X6M review
Niche within niches is a peculiarly German phenomenon, as the BMW X6M hammerhead proves. Now in its second-gen guise, the SUV flagship offers more power yet greater efficiency. But the point of it isn’t any clearer
2015 BMW X5M review
BMW’s bahn-storming X5M returns for another stab at the super-est SUV title, bringing boosts in power, efficiency and features, for a faster yet more frugal proposition. But cheap it’s not.
2015 VW Polo GTI review
Remember the manual gearbox? One drive of the new Polo GTI and you won’t forget the joy of this manual hot-hatch as Volkswagen goes back to the future with its new baby
2015 Ferrari California T review
The $409,000 Ferrari California T is at the vanguard of a brave new world for Maranello. With a turbocharged 3.9-litre V8 under the bonnet, it sets the template for Ferrari’s coming generation of road cars
2015 Hyundai i30 review
The three-year-old Hyundai i30 C-segment hatch (and Touring wagon) is subtly modified with a more elegant nose, improved diesel efficiency and performance (courtesy of a new dual-clutch auto), and minor spec improvements.
2015 Mercedes-AMG GT S review
Mercedes-Benz’s unofficial replacement for the gullwing-doored SLS is not only a more focused and well-rounded sports car, it’s both prettier and cheaper
2015 Ford Mondeo review
Ford turns up the heat on its medium-size rivals with the generously equipped, impressively refined and dynamically excellent 2015 Mondeo.
2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport review
Land Rover’s replacement for the popular Freelander proves it is better in almost every department, but can’t wait for new diesel engines
2030 Mercedes-Benz F015 review
Forget KITT and the Doc’s time machine DeLorean, the Mercedes F015 concept takes futuristic travel to the next (scary) hands-off level
2015 Subaru Liberty 2.5 review
Better to drive as well as to behold, the sixth-gen, sedan-only Liberty’s massive price drop makes it a must-have on anybody’s medium-car shortlist – but is that enough to reverse a long term decline?
2015 Formula 4 racing car review
We hit the track in the latest junior formula racing car designed to unearth our next F1 champion
Mercedes-Benz C350e plug-in hybrid review
More than just a fuel miser, Mercedes-Benz’s rechargeable C-Class throws extra performance into the hybrid mix
2015 Suzuki Celerio review
Suzuki is attempting to crack the Micro segment with a new-generation sub-B hatch called Celerio. Dreary design and daft badge aside, the five-door runabout represents a real leap forward from the patchy Alto it replaces, and is cheap to boot.
2015 Audi A6 and A7 Sportback review
Design- and tech-savvy Audi A6 sedan and Audi A7 Sportback gain a sportier look, upgraded infotainment, revised powertrains and greater value for money
2015 Fiat 500X review
Part Jeep but with healthy lashings of Italian style, the 500X is Fiat’s retro-infused take on the booming small-SUV segment
2015 Abarth 695 Biposto review
You’ve never seen a 500 like this: a wild and exclusive race-bred Italian pocket rocket that takes the cutesy Fiat 500 base and turns the wick up to extreme
2015 Subaru Forester 2.0D review
Subaru finally plugs a glaring gap in its successful medium SUV range with an automatic version of the Forester 2.0D turbo-diesel
2015 Peugeot 508 review
The updated Peugeot 508 arrives with price increases accompanied by extra features, an uprated entry-level engine, and styling tweaks showing the French brand’s new face
2015 Mazda CX-3 review
Mazda’s fifth new-generation ‘SkyActiv’ model – the pint-sized CX-3 SUV – prepares to shake up its class with a vast model range that kicks off at just $19,990
2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake review
The latest addition to Mercedes-Benz’s small car range steps up in practicality in the form of the CLA Shooting Brake. The wagon version of the CLA brings more boot space and a new rear design, creating the fifth body style off the front-drive architecture
2015 Kia Carnival review
Kia’s 2015 Carnival people-mover features fresh styling, upgraded mechanicals, improved safety and convenience features, along with significant improvements to refinement and quality
Mercedes-AMG SL 63 review
Believing that more is hardly enough, Mercedes-Benz has upped the power and torque of its twin-turbo V8 two-seat luxury SL 63 AMG two-door roadster while still managing a very reasonable 9.9L/100km
2015 Peugeot 308 GT review
The Peugeot 308 GT is the warm – definitely not hot, according to the French brand – version of its return-to-form small hatchback
Mercedes-AMG C63 S review
The latest Mercedes-AMG C63 S is a major update for Benz’s most popular performance sedan and wagon. And it’s bloody good
