Autocar magazine 7 September 2022: on sale now

The all new Kia Niro EV stars in the Autocar road test this week, as we put it to the test to see whether it’s a new class-leader or a sophomore slump.

Features

Meanwhile, road test editor Matt Saunders pops out for a pint of milk in the extreme BAC Mono R to test whether it’s as usable as its maker claims.

Mike Duff drives two internet-breaking Hyundai concept cars – the N Vision 74 and RN22e – and James Attwood meets the team of former Williams Advanced Engineering and JLR engineers aiming to convert even the most evangelistic haters of e-scooters.

Opinions

Matt Prior discusses the recent sale of Princess Diana’s Ford Escort RS Turbo at Silverstone Auctions – plus the ludicrous amount someone paid for it – and has his head turned by a Ford Model T camper van thought to be the world’s oldest.

Elsewhere, Steve Cropley looks back on his week, including a lovely gathering of metal at senior contributing editor Richard Bremner’s house – and a not-so-lovely encounter with a VW Golf Zipcar.

Used cars

Mark Pearson takes the reins of our used cars section this week, recommending the Jaguar F-Type as a shrewd nearly-new buy. The Smart Roadster features as our cult hero.
