Bentley Bentayga V8 2018 review

Following the launch of W12 petrol and V8 diesel engines, this is the third and perhaps the most convincing powerplant to feature in Bentley’s monumentally capable Bentayga SUV. It’s a 4.0-litre, 90-degree V8 with its two twin-scroll turbochargers sitting within the vee of the cylinders. You’ll find it also in the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and… Continue reading Bentley Bentayga V8 2018 review

Vauxhall Astra review

Strong diesel engines and punchy petrols combine well with Astra’s composed chassis Unlike many rivals, the Vauxhall Astra is not only built in the UK, it had its chassis tuned for UK roads. In fact, Auto Express was invited on an early chassis development drive to give initial feedback that the Astra was going in… Continue reading Vauxhall Astra review

Ford Focus review

With a strong range of petrol and diesel engines, the Focus is refined and relatively cheap to run, while the driving experience is top notch The Focus has clearly been designed with comfort and efficiency in mind, but Ford’s talented engineers haven’t neglected handling. It’s certainly a more exciting steer than a Kia Cee’d and it… Continue reading Ford Focus review

Ford Edge review

Diesel engines are smooth and refined but not fast, while handling errs on the side of comfort Ford makes it clear that the Edge is targeted at premium buyers, and the driving experience reflects that. It goes about its business in a relaxed and refined manner, but there’s little of the involvement you would find… Continue reading Ford Edge review

Vauxhall Mokka X review

Inert handling lets the Mokka X down, but the excellent 1.4 Turbo petrol and comfortable ride are strong points The Mokka X’s relaxed nature is most evident when cornering. While the electrically assisted steering is quick and precise, there’s very little feedback through the wheel to make you feel connected with the road. Where a… Continue reading Vauxhall Mokka X review

New Ford F-150 Raptor pick-up 2018 review

You may not have even heard of the Ford F-150, and in one sense there’s no reason why you should – it has never, and likely will never go on sale in the UK, nor even in Europe. But in the USA it has consistently topped the outright sales charts since its creation in 1948.… Continue reading New Ford F-150 Raptor pick-up 2018 review

Jaguar F-Type review

Supercharged engines and a brilliant chassis mean the F-Type delivers performance to match its looks No matter what version of the F-Type you choose, you’ll be rewarded with a superb driving experience. As it was developed as a Convertible from the outset, there’s very little twisting or vibration through the bodyshell, and body control in… Continue reading Jaguar F-Type review

Alpina D5 S 2018 review

If you like the D5 S, there’s little to rival what it offers. The kicker is that the legendary residual value of Alpina cars is far from certain, given the nature of the powertrain. Putting that to one side, the D5 S costs £62,000, to which you can add £1785 for adaptive dampers with electronically… Continue reading Alpina D5 S 2018 review

Jaguar XF review

Smooth performance and slick auto gearboxes define the range – but the 2.0 diesel is a bit noisy Thanks to its aluminium underpinnings, the XF is relatively light compared to its rivals, which helps the way it rides and handles. The suspension keeps the body tied down nicely during cornering, so there’s plenty of composure… Continue reading Jaguar XF review
