Bydaring to bestow theiconic nameon its newcar, driven for the first time onp28,Honda is encouragingdirect comparisonswith its legendaryforebear, a car that has taken on an almostmythical status.The promisingnews is that on the basis of our initial

Electric Rapidepromis e

8 AUTOCAR.CO.UK 28 OCTOBER 2015

An all-electric version oftheAstonMartinRapidehas been revealed, withinsiders hinting that in

itsmost extreme form it couldbe developedwith four-wheeldrive and up to 1000bhp.

TheRapidE, which is set togo on sale in around two years’time, has been developed byWilliamsAdvancedEngineeringinGrovewith assistance fromChinaEquity, a Shanghai-basedinvestment partner. The caris being targeted first at theChinesemarket as away ofmeeting pressing fleet-averageCO2 regulations, althoughAstonMartin eventuallyintends to offer the car forsale around theworld.

TheRapidEwas unveiled atan event staged as part of aUK-China creative summit to

coincidewith theUKvisit ofChinese president Xi Jinping.Unveiling the car, AstonCEOAndyPalmer revealed thatthe carwould potentially beavailable in two versions, thefirst ofwhichwill be a rear-drivemodel with two electricmotors and a similar poweroutput to the 550bhp petrol-enginedRapide. It should havewhatPalmer describes as a“reasonably driven” range ofabout 200miles.

However, the headline-grabberwill be a shorter-range,super-performance versionwith an electricmotor drivingeach of its fourwheels and atotal of 800 to 1000bhp. “We’regoing to need the traction ofall fourwheels to deal withthe torque,” said Palmer, whoadded that this second project

will be developed after the first,moremodest version of theelectric Rapide is launched.

Palmer revealed thatin Trackmode the carwillbe capable of lapping theNürburgring circuit “veryquickly indeed”, although hedeclined to specify a targettime and cautioned that thecar’s rangewill obviously besignificantly reducedwhendriven hard. The four-motorset-up should allow theRapidE the latest in traction-keeping torque vectoring andregenerative braking systems,all of whichwill help itsNürburgring performance.

TheRapidE’s stylingmirrorsthat of the existingV12-powered RapideS, apart fromsome special exterior graphicsand distinctive blue ‘RapidE’

badging. However, under thebonnet, theV12 is replacedbyWilliams-developed powerelectronics, while a batterypack ismounted along thecar’s central backbone.

Williams is one of theUK’sforemost developers of pure-electric vehicles, havingwonplaudits for its developmentof the batteries used in theFormula E single-seater racingcars. ChinaEquity, describedbyAndyPalmer as “a businesswe knowwell”, is already aninvestor in Invest Industrial,which is one of AstonMartin’sowners, and is believed to beputting up£50million tomaketheRapidE project a reality.

Prices for the newbatterysaloon are expected to startat around£200,000, up fromaround£150,000 for the

standardRapide, althoughthe top-spec versionwill bemore expensive. If the car iswell accepted by dealers andcustomers, Aston’s plan is tobuild about 400 cars a yearusing the existingRapidefacilities at Gaydon.

“Weare aiming to sell around100RapidEs a year in Chinaand are pretty sure therewillbe a demand for cars in thosenumbers,” said Palmer. “Wesee luxury electric vehicles asan intrinsic part of our futureproduct portfolio.”

Palmer believes Tesla’sexperience of selling around35,000battery-powered carsworldwide at roughly £100,000eachmakes his plan of selling400more upmarketmodelsappear realistic.STEVE CROPLEY

Do you believe theRapidE can carry on theperformance traditions of AstonMartin?“I certainly do.We already knowelectricpowertrains combine luxury and performanceextremelywell, something ourRapide Sachieves already.We thinkRapidEwill fit thefamily verywell.”

Do you have a running prototype?“Wedo, and its performance is extremely

impressive, even beforethe real work of refiningit begins.”

Is this a car you’ve hadto develop quickly, tomeet Chinese regulations?“There’s no questionwe’ll find it beneficial toour business in China, but it’s part of a long-termcommitment fromAstonMartin towardsdeveloping lowand zero-emissions cars.”

Do you have the capacity to build theRapidE at Gaydon?“Wewould build it in Gaydon, yes. But it’s awell-known fact thatwe’ll soon need to choosea new factory location tomake our expandingproduct range, including theDBX crossover,whichmay also have electrified versions.”

Vauxhall will launch arange-toppingSUVbefore the end of thedecade, with the new

model combining dramaticcoupé-like looks and sevenseatswithwhat insiders havedescribed as a “value-for-money price tag”.

The newSUVwill be joinedby twonewcrossovermodels,whichwill slot between the newAstra and a revamped Insignia,with the result that by 2019Vauxhall will have four SUVandcrossovermodels in its line-up,including the existingMokka.

Industry specialists saythe boom in crossover andSUV sales is not likely toslow significantly over thenext four years.Moreover,Vauxhall’s threeMPVmodels— theMeriva, Zafira andZafira

Tourer — have all sufferedsales slides as family-friendlycrossovers andSUVs displacethe traditional people-carrier.

The flagship SUVwasannounced in outline formlate last year byGMCEOMaryBarra. She revealed that£189millionwas being investedinOpel’s Russelsheim factoryto update it for the next-generation Insignia and thenewSUV.However, Autocarhas nowobtainedmore detailsabout the newvehicle and itsmarket positioning.

The largeSUVwill be basedon an updated version of theInsignia’s Epsilon 2 platform,which also underpins Cadillac,Chevrolet andBuickmodels.

This newplatform isbeing developed under thename ‘E2XX’. According to

announcements fromGM intheUS, the new structurewill get a significant 10cmwheelbase stretch (taking it upto a substantial 2.83m), withthewhole structure being asubstantial 136kg lighter thanEpsilon 2 architecture. Otherchanges are expected to bemade that allow amore radicalinterior dashboard design to beuse, while at the rear, the rearof the floorpan and structurehave been furthermodified toimprove luggage space andaccommodate a third rowofseats in theSUV.

GMsources also say the newstructure is being engineeredto further improve “real-world”ride and handling.

OVERTHEPAST twodecades or so, Vauxhall-Opel’s share of theEuropean carmarket hashalved. In the first half ofthe 1990s the sharewasjust short of 13%,with salesof 1.5million vehicles.

Last year total sales hitjust 881,000units, whichis significantly less thanthe 1mvehicles sold in2010 during the aftermathof the credit crunch. Likeothermid-market players,Vauxhall-Opel has been hitboth by the rise of brandssuch as Skoda, HyundaiandKia and the seeminglyendless expansion of thepremiumbrands.

This new strategy for the

second half of the decade isclever. Riding the crossoverwave is common sense, if atad slow off themark. Butat the top end, Vauxhallsees an opportunity tostep inwhere the premiummakers are failing. It’s notjust the showroomprice ofa premiumcar that’s high,but also the costs involvedin servicing and repairs asthe car gets older.

Offering super-slickstyling,more radicalinteriors, no-excusemodern powertrains and“value formoney prices andsensible aftermarket costs”could, say planners, openup a usefulmarket nichefor the company.

H I LTON HO L LOWAY

Will the strategywork?

Adams. Sources promise alook thatwill be “dramatic”andmuchmore coupé-likethan today’s rivalmodels fromHyundai andKia.

One company source saidAdams’s teamwas hopingto strike the same sort ofbalance between usabilityand dramatic style as thatachieved by theRangeRoverEvoque. The dashboarddesign is also expected to bea significant step forward,featuring a large central screenand a reduction in the numberofmanual controls.

All-wheel drivewill be anoption, but there’s no news onwhat the engine rangemightbe. GMEurope has announcedsignificant investment inits engine and transmissionplants, so expect a range ofnewpetrol and diesel enginesabove the 1.4 and 1.6-litre unitslaunched in the newAstra.

Manufacturing the newSUVand the new Insignia onthe sameproduction linewillalso improve the economies ofscale involved inmaking theselarge cars inGermany. By2020, the production line couldbe building nearly 200,000units a year — a figure that is

double today’s numbers.Well before the big SUV

arrives, Vauxhall-Opel will havetwonewcompact crossovermodels, whichwill be key toimproving sales in Europe.

Bothmodels arebeingco-developedwithPSAPeugeotCitroënonsharedplatforms. Thesmallercrossoverwill replace theMerivaand is expected togoonsalenext year.

TheMeriva has beensomething of a success for GMEurope, with sales of originalmodel peaking at 203,000 in2004and theMk2 at 127,000in 2011. Since then, however,sales have collapsed, slumpingto57,000 last year. Replacingthe existing conventionalMPV-stylemodel with acrossover is likely to resultin a significant sales boost.

The larger crossovermodel will in effect replacethe ancient Antara and therecently axedZafiraMPV,although the bigger andplusher Zafira Tourerwill liveon.

Le Corbusier inspires Renault coupé conceptABOLDNEWRenault conceptcar has been created tomarkthe 50th anniversary ofthe death of Le Corbusier,France’s best-known20thcentury architect.

Renault said the CoupéCorbusier concept has nodirect relevance to anyfuture project. Instead,it said “future-looking”concepts such as this allowits designers “to explore newways forward”.

The concept is a sleekcoupéwith a long bonnet,slim glasshouse, pronouncedrear aches and dramaticdihedral doors hinged at therear. Geometric shapesmake

up the front-end design.Renault has not yet disclosedits powertrain, dimensions orany other specific details.

Renault has describedthe concept as “a 21stcentury car inspired bythe architect’smodernistprinciples and theories”.

Renault added: “Theideas of simplicity, a visuallyand aesthetically pleasingstructure, geometricelegance andmastery oflight guided the designersin the creation of the CoupéCorbusier concept car.”

The concept is on displayat Villa Savoye, amodernistvilla on the outskirts of Paris.


‘I genuinely believethis car could openup a new sector’

Renault’s Coupé Corbusier has been created using “the architect’smodernist principles and theories”

Ground-breaking tech forYamaha concept is underpinned by a lightweight carbonfibre c chassis designed by Gordon Murray

The Yamaha Sports RideConcept sports carunveiled at the Tokyomotor show is underpinned

by a revolutionary newcarbonfibre chassis designedby McLaren F1 designer GordonMurray, Autocar can reveal.

While Yamaha kept theexterior design of the car asecret prior to today’s launch,Murray revealed that it sits onthe radical, all-new carbonfibrestructure called iStreamCarbon and pictured here. It’sclaimed it “sets new standardsfor chassis light weighting,rigidity and safety”.

Murray described thetechnology used to developthe system as a “step change”and said it had the potentialto fundamentally changecar making.

“Light weighting is the finalfrontier in the automotiveindustry fight to loweremissions,” he said. “Therehave been great stridesforward in engine design,electrical control systems,tyre design and transmissiontechnology. But we are nowexperiencing a plateau in theadvance of technology, wherethe law of diminishing returnscomes into play.

“A step change in vehicleweight to enable downsizingof powertrain and componentsis all we have left in the

armoury. Light weightingis important for internalcombustion-engined carsbut even more important forhybrids and electric vehicles.”

The system is derived fromGordon Murray Design’siStream manufacturingprocess but replaces theglassfibre content withcarbonfibre. It has beendeveloped in conjunctionwith Japanese firm Toray, forwhom Murray designed theTeewave sports car in 2011, andsandwiches a honeycomb papercore with two carbonfibre skins.

Murray confirmed thatiStream Carbon doesn’treplace the original system. Hesaid: “We are currently workingon seven vehicles using ouroriginal iStream technology.”

As well as its weight,strength and safety benefits,

it is notable for being fast andcheap to produce. Murrayclaims to have developed afully mechanised systemwith a cycle time for eachpanel of just 100 seconds.

Murray did not disclose theweight of the Yamaha SportsRide Concept, but it is believedto be significantly lighter than900kg. The cost of producing achassis is closely linked to thevolume of cars being producedand the up-front investmentrequired, but Murray saidthe system can be employedprofitably for productionvolumes of between 1000 and350,000 cars. As such, it isbelieved the Yamaha SportsRide Concept could be pricedcompetitively against the likesof the Lotus Elise.

“I genuinely believe this carcould open up a new sector,”

Murray designed Teewave for carbonfibre specialist Toray in 2011

said Murray. “If you look atthe [Mazda] MX-5, it’s greatfun and a nice roadster, butit’s not an out-and-out sportscar. The Toyota GT86 is greatbut relatively heavy. It’s not ahuge revolution. Then thereare cars like the Alfa 4C, whichis rear mid-engined but whichcosts nearly £60,000. I believewe could have somethinggenuinely rule-breaking.”

Asked whether his firstconfirmed iStream client,TVR, would be using thecarbonfibre technology,Murray said: “Because ofthe secrecy with which it hasbeen developed, the team atTVR haven’t been aware of ituntil now, so it is not part oftheir plans. But, in time, it isperfectly possible.”

Although neither Murraynor Yamaha would commenton the powertrain in theSports Ride Concept, it couldcombine Murray’s chassiswith an uprated version of the1.0-litre three-cylinder enginethat was mooted for its citycar design, the Yamaha Motiv,

which was first shown in Tokyotwo years ago.

That engine was tippedto produce 70-80bhp, butuprated beyond 100bhp in anentry-level form, that would belikely to give the car a power-to-weight ratio in excess of140bhp per tonne, which isaround that of an Elise.JIM HOLDER

Nissan has teased itsmainconcept ahead of thisweek’s Tokyomotor show—a car that’s rumoured to

preview the next generation ofthe battery-powered Leaf.

Nissan has remained tight-lipped about the concept,issuing only a single, poorlylit image so far that showswhat appears to be a sleekhatchback that features the

firm’s latest corporate grilletreatment and a distinctivekink around theC-pillar. Ashort press release describesthe unnamed car as “Nissan’sfuture vision of car intelligenceand electrification”, supportingspeculation that the conceptwill highlight autonomoustechnology andNissan’s latestgeneration of batteries andelectricmotors.

Insiders also suggest theTokyo car’s stylingwill pointto the next generation of Leaf,which is due by 2017. Nissanis considering expanding theLeaf sub-brand to includefurthermodels and bodystyles,according to the firm’sexecutive vice-president,TrevorMann, but the core ofthe range is still expected tobe a five-door hatchback.

Nissan close to ‘comfortable’ position in EuropeNISSANSALESAREboominginwestern Europe, butthe brandwon’t “forcethemarket” in pursuitof puremarket share,according to the company’sEuropean boss.

PaulWillcox, chairman ofNissan’s European region,said sales were up by 14% lastyear, giving the brand a 4%market share, and growthwasrunning at around9% for thefirst ninemonths of this year.

Achieving a Europeanmarket share of 4-5%will bea “comfortable” position forthe company, he said.

“Wewant to stay in profitin western Europe, so tryingto get to a 6-7%sharewouldjust be forcing themarket,”he said, citing the risk of

having to offer discounts andcheapPCP deals in order tohit increased sales targets.

Willcox also revealed thatthe nextMicra, previewedby the Sway concept at theGenevamotor show inMarch,would be heading upmarket,with the new-generationmodel becoming a sister carto the current Renault Clio.

“The newMicrawill be builtat the Flins plant [in France]alongside the Clio,” he said.“It will become a direct rivalfor cars such as the VauxhallCorsa and Ford Fiesta.”

Willcox pointed out thatNissan has had theMicrabrand in Europe “for 33years” and acknowledgedthat this newmodel will moveitmarkedly away from its

city car roots. The currentMicra — primarily engineeredto be affordable in developingmarkets — has not been asales hit in Europe.

Willcox said Nissan has“leadership in the crossovermarket” and expects thebrand to continue to benefitfrom the soaring demand forthis type of vehicle.

“Sales in the D-segment[Mondeo class] have collapsedand the cost of owning apremiumcar has been falling,”he added. “The versatility ofthe crossover format is whatis driving sales.”

With three closely scaledcrossovers in its line-up,Nissan is, Willcox suggested,uniquely placed to benefit.HILTON HOLLOWAY

Teaser image hintsat Nissan’s electricTokyo show concept


Mercedes-Benz’s newVision Tokyo conceptgives a glimpse at thedesign ideas, zero-

emissions powertrain andholographicmultimediatechnology it envisagesemploying on a future line-upof self-drivingmodels.

The rakish people-carrierhas been created byMercedes’global network of advanceddesign studios. TheVisionTokyo is a follow-up to theF015 Luxury inMotion, withwhich it sharesmany of itskey elements.

According toMercedes, thenew five-seater sets out to“showhow the car of the futurecan be turned into a hip livingspace in themidst ofmegacitytrafficmayhem”.

Clothed in a smoothmonobox body sporting a largetrapezoidal-shaped grille,theVision Tokyo stretches to4803mm in length, 2100mm inwidth and 1600mm in height.Thatmakes it 117mmshorter,180mmwider and75mm lowerthan the short-wheelbaseR-Class,Mercedes’mostrecent luxuryMPV.

The concept features asingle large gullwing doorthat hinges upwards from theroof. At the rear, tail-lights areintegratedwithin the outeredges of an oval rearwindow.

Various sections of theexterior, including the grilleand spokes of its 26inwheels,are illuminated in blue — acolour,Mercedes suggests,that provides clues to its

emissions-free hydrogen-fuelled powertrain. Severalsensors and the stereo cameratechnology required to enabletheVision Tokyo to drive itselfare primarily housedwithin afinmounted on the roof.

Mercedes has providedtheVision Tokyowith deepmachine learning andintelligent predictive engineprocesses, indicating its futureproduction cars could evolveduring use tomeet the needs ofcustomers. “With each journey,it becomesmore familiar withits occupants, their likes andpreferences,”Mercedes said.

Continuing the themeexplored on the F015 LuxuryinMotion concept, theVisionTokyo features a futuristicallystyled interior that is designed

to take full advantage ofhands-off autonomous drivingtechnology by providing a face-to-face cabin environment forits occupants.

Conventional seats areeschewed in favour of asemi-circular couch that canaccommodate five adults.

The sides of the cabin arelined in leather and adornedwith LED touchscreens.Togetherwith an overheadprojectormodule, they providean advancedmultimediaexperience, with variousdisplays projected as a three-dimensional hologram.

A seat facing in the directionof travel can be released fromthe front of the couch shouldtheVision Tokyo requiremanual control, allowing the

driver to operate the steeringwheel, which can also bemovedfroma standby position into aproper driving position.

Power comes fromanupdated version of thehydrogen fuel cell electricpowertrain initially showcasedby the F015 Luxury inMotion.

It is claimed to provide theVision Tokyowith an overallrange of up to609miles — 118miles courtesy of electricitystored in a battery via eitherplug-in or inductivemeansand a further 491miles on theelectricity produced on the runby the fuel cell stack.

Peugeotwants to be backin the serious hot hatchmarket again.Or, rather,Peugeot is back in the hot

hatchmarket,where itwouldlike to be taken seriously again,having rediscovered– if you’llforgive the phrase– itsmojo.

So the 308GTi is out. I like ita great deal, but this half-pageof nonsense isn’t the place fora full assessment of the car.That’ll comenextweek,whenit’ll appear alongside aFordFocus STwithMountune kit.

It’s not thePeugeot itself,then, but hot hatches in generalthat I’m interested in today.Lots of carmakers alreadyproduce hot hatches. Severalmore are thinking about it. AndI already knowwhat they’ll belike –not to drive, Imean, but inethos. Is there any other class ofcarwhose attributes canbe soeasily telegraphed? Is any otherclass so predictable?

“Wehave ahatchback andwemustmake it hot,” theysay, around abig table in a big

Is there anyother class of carwhose attributescan be so easilytelegraphed asthe hot hatch?meeting. “Whatmustwedo?”

Then the checklist comesout.Outside? It’ll want biggerbumpers, front and rear,withmore cooling area at the frontwhether it’s necessary or not.Therewill be side skirts, plusa rear spoiler to effect the ideaof downforce into themind,if not actual downforce ontothe car. The samewill go for arear diffuser,which, despite a20mmrideheight cut,will stillbe too far from the ground to doanythinguseful. Beside it therewill be big tailpipes, perhaps

asmany as oneper cylinder;perhaps twoof themwillactually emit gas. Theremightbe a red stripe at the front, andtherewill be biggerwheels,with painted brake calipers.

It goes on inside, in similarfashion. The steeringwheelwillbe smaller and chunkier – andthere’s every chance itwon’tbe round, either. Some chromeshould appear on the gearlever.Pedalsmight be aluminiumand the seatswill be supportive–probablywith awhite or greyscript on themsomewhere.Otherwise, expect lots of black–perhaps faux carbonfibre, orat least pianoblack,with blackcloth, Alcantara, occasionallyleather and always, but always,red stitching.Unless it’s yellow.

This predictability isn’tthe hot hatch’s fault.With asupercar, you can startwith ablank sheet of paper, butwith ahot hatchback, you startwith apiece of paperwith a hatchbackdrawnon it. There’s only somuch you cando, so you followa formula thatmakes it obviousthat this is no ordinary hatch.

There aremechanicalchanges, too, of course.Morepower, perhaps a limited-slipdiff and tweaked suspension.Formulaic stuff again, but thisiswhere it gets hard. Creatinga car that’s competitivewith aFordFiesta ST,RenaultsportMéganeorVolkswagenGolfGTIis rather less straightforwardthanpicking the colour range.

And another thing…

ugby players are a tough bunch. From dealing with

body-crunching tackles while fighting through the

opposition line or butting heads in a scrum, they pay a

price to take part in the game they love.

At the amateur level, life is also tough for their cars. It takes a

pretty rugged machine to house a pack of sweaty, muddy forwards

and their equipment, and transport them to and from a game in

comfort and style.

“Our team share cars to get to games all the time – and it can get

pretty cramped if you’re in the wrong car,” says James Cramp,

Teddington Rugby Football Club’s number eight. “You need a

car that can comfortably fit in four or five big lads, and a lot of team

kit and equipment.”

The new Fiat 500X is the perfect car for the job: like a good

number eight, it’s tough and packs plenty of punch, while also

being speedy and nimble. To prove it, a group of amateur

players from Teddington RFC were asked to take a road trip

in a pair of Fiat 500X cars. Their destination: to meet up

with former England international rugby player and Fiat 500X

driver Ugo Monye.

“When we saw the Fiat 500X for the first time it was a real

surprise,” admits Cramp. “It was bigger and had a lot more space

than I expected, and we all fitted in easily – and it looks stylish too.”

That classic Italian style doesn’t come at the expense of

practicality. The Fiat 500X is available in front- and all-wheel-drive,

with a range of turbo petrol and diesel engines that produce up to

170bhp. That’s enough power to ensure the Fiat 500X has plenty of

zip, even when weighed down with a rugby pack – and the car’s

245-litre luggage compartment can house their kit with ease.

The Fiat 500X also has plenty of features to make spending time

inside it a pleasure. Features including automatic climate control

and a versatile UconnectTM Radio Live system, with a 6.5-inch touch

screen, ensure total comfort for both driver and passenger.

Optional extras available include heated seats and useful driver

assist systems such as brake control, blind spot and lane assist.

And if you think comfort isn’t important to a group of tough,

hardy rugby players, think again. As Cramp says: “After you’ve been

beaten up playing rugby in the cold and wet for 80 minutes you’re

aching all over, and you want something that’s very comfortable to

drive home in – and the Fiat 500X really fits the bill.”

SCRUM IN STYLEThe rugged new Fiat 500X can comfortably fit a pack of rugbyplayers and their kit – without sacrificing on style or comfort

Beyond the small glovebox, there’svery limited storage space andnoobvious parking spot for yourmobilephone. The central infotainmentscreen is straight fromHonda’s partsbin and the instrument cluster isequally conventional,with a largecentral rev counter and varioushybrid-related gauges flashed on aTFT screenbut flankedby analoguefuel and temperature dials.The engineersworkedhard to

keep theA-pillars slim, but the goodvisibility still doesn’t quitematchthat of the originalNSX.On thenewNSX, a 12mm-thick slab of glass, thethickest of anyHondaproduction car,separates the cockpit from the enginecompartment. It’s amove designedto allow the piped-in enginenoise toprevail. The sounds youhear are onesof cadenced technical proficiency,plus the sighing of the compressors.However, they are not thrilling.With thenewNSX, all the tools are

there for a historic supercar, save forthe drama thatwe expect fromsuchvehicles. Future versions, includinga rumoured roadster andTypeR, arelikely to change that.Meanwhile,Honda,welcomeback to the fight.LESLIE HOUBOLT

Cadillac ATS V Coupé

Perceived quality of thewell-equipped interiormay put you off, but the sound and pace from the twin-turboV6 soonwin you over

Had you attended theEuropeanATS-Vpress conference, youmight have observed somewrysmileswhenCadillac revealed

what it regards as its newcoupé’srivals. There, alongside theATS-V, sattheBMWM4andLexusRCF.However, cynics had their doubts

dispelled as the conference ran on.As the development processeswereexplained, the upgrades detailed andthenumbers presented, theATS-Vreally began to appear a viable andserious alternative to anM4.It’s virtually the same size, for

starters. Similarly,motive powercomes fromsix force-fed cylinders.Power is sent to an electronicallycontrolled limited-slip differentialat the rear, albeit via an eight-speedautomatic gearbox only. Alas, there’snomanual ’box forEuropeanmodels.TheCadillac evenpacksmore

firepower. Its twin-turbo 3.6-litreV6deals out 464bhp and445lb ft,eclipsing theBMW’s 425bhp and406lb ft. Despiteweighing 1768kg,some81kgmore than theM4, it’s alsoclaimed to be quicker. TheATS-V is

said to sprint fromzero to 62mph in3.9sec, beating theM4by0.2sec.Sure, the interior can’t compete

withEuropean rivals. It’s quiet,comfortable andwell equippedinside, but thin-feelingmaterials,dated instruments and finicky touch-sensitive controls let it down. Thebootmaybe big, but the rear seatsare cramped and side and rearwardvisibility isn’t too hot, either.However, this all fades into relative

insignificance themoment yougive the throttle a prod. It soundsremarkably like amore refinedNissanGT-R. Itwarbles along atpart-throttle, but pin the throttleand a sonorous howl fills the cabinas theATS-V surges forward, enginerushing towards its 6500rpm limiter.Putting the power down is easy,

thanks to the limited-slip diff, finelyengineered suspension and an easilymodulated throttle.Unfortunately,the eight-speed auto ’box is theweak link in the chain. It’s usuallyfinewhen left to its owndevicesbut responds too slowlywhen youmanually command shifts.

Youdiscover another demeritwhen youbrake. TheATS-Vmayhavestaggered six-piston calipers andsubstantial discs up front, but there’slittle feel to the hard, short-travelbrake pedal. It’s difficult to correctlymeter out braking effort as a result.But theATS-V claws back your

admiration in corners. A lightning-quick variable-ratio, electricallyassistedZF rack transmits inputprecisely to the frontwheels andserves up adequate feedback andgratifyingheft. Grip levels are highandbody roll almost nil, allowingyou to blow through corners at a vastrate of knots. Alternatively, disengagethe traction control and revel ineasily controlled power oversteer.Standard-fitMagneRide adaptivesuspension offers a firmbut fine ride,bolstering the appeal.Those seeking road-based

fun rather than outright trackperformancewill findmuch to like.The charismatic ATS-V feels lesstreacherous than the highly strungM4andoffersmore engagementand theatre at lower speeds.

Ultimately, though, theM4 is thesuperior driver’s car – and let’s notforget itsmore upmarket interior. Youcould overlook theCadillac’s foibles ifitwere substantially cheaper than itsrivals, but it isn’t. Even so, if youmadespace for anATS-Von your drive, I’dboth envy and applaud you.Youwon’t have to go to the trouble

of importing one yourself, either.There’s a solitaryUKdealership inSurrey, and you’ll be able to order anATS-V early next year. Therewill benumerousGM-associated servicecentres to keep themon the road, too.You’ll have towait several years

for a right-hand-drive one, though,because that’s onlymooted to arrivewith the second-generationATS.Here’s hoping amanual gearboxmakes it over at the same time.LEWIS KINGSTON

Screen for iDrive can be controlled by touch aswell as a rotary dial; air suspension gives a better balance of control and comfort

With its new7Series, BMWislooking tomuscle in on thesizeablemarket share of theimpressiveMercedes-Benz

S-Class.More than that, the 7 Seriesseems to be out to steal someof thelimelight the S-Class enjoys as abenchmark for technology and safety.BMWhas really gone to town.Not

only has it used carbonfibre in the7 Series’ construction but it has alsoincluded as standard awirelesslychargeable keywith a 2.2in screenthat acts as a remote for variousfunctions, including, eventually,remote driving of the car from theoutside. Butmaybe the biggest hintthat it’s out to ruffle the S-Class’sfeathers is theExecutiveDrive Prooption,which acts likeMercedes’MagicBodyControl by studyingthe road ahead and slackeningthe suspension to glide over largerbumps.UnlikeMercedes’ system,theBMWset-up canbe fitted to bothdiesel andpetrolmodels andworksin the dark and rain.Here,we’re samplingwhat’s likely

to be the best-selling 30ddiesel, in

what should be the similarly popularlong-wheelbase form. It’s closelypriced to the equivalent S-Class but isquicker, cleaner andmore frugal.To sit in anddrive, the new7Series

is a noticeably better prospect thanits predecessor on cabin quality, ridecomfort and technology. The engineis revised from the old 30dunit anda smoothpunchof torque is just aflex of the foot away. Speed buildsextremely quickly and linearly,withthe eight-speed automatic gearboxexploiting the torque band superbly.Theprevious 7Serieswas always as

concernedwith agility as itwaswithride comfort, hence a greater front-endurgency and firmer ride thanits biggest rivals.However, BMWhas fitted adjustable air suspensionfront and rear as standard to thenewcar. The result is certainly amore comfortable prospect. Theway the 7 Series sponges awaysleepingpolicemenand cushionsundulating roads inComfortmodeis an improvement.Unfortunately,though, as the roads on our routeback to theUKchanged fromFrench

toEnglish, therewas still a fidget tothe secondary ride at low speeds.Dial it to Sport and there’s fun to be

had. The steering is a little artificiallyweighted and just a touch vague offcentre, but there’s enoughprecision,grip andwillingness from the chassisfor theBMWto feel light on its feet.The front seats offer a huge range

of adjustment and enough room toliterally stretch out, and itwas almostimpossible to be uncomfortable –or bored– in our long-wheelbasemodel’s executive seating, completewith heated,massaging seats, twinscreens and (optional) snap-in tabletcomputer. BMW’s iDrive has beendialled up anotch, too. Its screen cannowbe controlled by both the rotarydial and touch, and its sharp 10.3indisplay looks fantastic. For a further£160, it’s evenpossible to controlsome functionswith handgestures.Cabin quality is also a stepup fromBMW’s previous attempt,with thestandard leather upgraded andmoreadvanced interior lighting options.There’s plenty of opportunity to

spend serious cash onoptions, but

the standard kit list is long. Even onthe entry-level short-wheelbase 730d,youget heated leather seats front andrear, that SmartDisplay key, four-zone climate control, BMW’s highestlevel of iDrivewithBluetooth,DABand sat-nav, keyless entry/start andadaptive cruise control.The 7 Series is amuchbetter car

than itwas and still one of the betterluxury saloons to drive spiritedly,while cabin quality has beenboostedto a farmore competitive level. Thereare still questionmarks over its low-speed ride, though. For those buyingthe 7 Series asmuch to drive as to bedriven in, it’ll be a trade-offworthputtingupwith, but for luxury carbuyers in search of themost pillowyprogress, an S-Class stillmanagesto keep its nose in front.RORYWHITE

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV GX4hs

Simplified fascia gives amore upmarket feel to the spacious cabin; initial acceleration, ride quality and looks have been improved

Mitsubishi’sOutlander plug-inhybrid has become such ahitin theUK that it currentlyaccounts for a staggering 50%

of sales in theEVandPHEVsector. Ithas broughtMitsubishi a prominencenot seen for decades, and the desireto keep thiswhile underscoring itsposition as a producer of greenSUVsare drivers for comprehensiveupdatesto both looks andperformance.The secret of thePHEV’s success is

that it is currently themarket’s onlyplug-in hybrid SUV,whichmeansit qualifies for the government’s£5000 subsidy to buyers of electriccarswhile being sold for the sameprice as the regularOutlander diesel.Best of all, the PHEV’s fuel economyandCO2 figuresmean it attracts abenefit-in-kind rate of just 5%.Even for a 40% tax payer, the tax

bill can be as lowas£685 a year.Onthemove, there’s a further saving,because an owner can charge thebatteries overnight or at a fastcharger, adding a real-world 25milesof cheapelectric travel to each journey.For this facelift, there’s a new

‘Dynamic Shield’ frontal treatmentthat’s said to foreshadowa similarlook on futureMitsubishi SUVs. ItbringsLEDdaytime running lights, a3Dgrille, newbumpers and amildlydifferent tail treatment. The bumpersalso add40mmto the overall length,making the newOutlander looklower and sleeker thanbefore.Major fascia revisionsmake the

cabin look simpler and classier. Thereare no changes to interior space,which is generous but not quite class-leading. The seats are comfortableand the fixtures and fittings have apleasant durability about them.Evenon themost basicGX3h

(GX3h+,GX4handGX4hsmodelsare also available), standardequipment is impressive,withclimate control and cruise controlavailable across the range. TheGX4hgets leather seats, a heatedsteeringwheel, DAB radio, self-levellingLEDheadlights and a360deg camera,while theGX4hsadds front and rear parking sensorsand additional safety features.TheOutlander PHEV’s powertrain

may sound exotic – a 2.0-litre petrolengineworkingwith twobattery-driven electricmotors, one frontandone rear –but driving the car iseasy. Formaximumperformance, allthree power sourceswork together,and for 2016 thePHEV’s step-off – aprevious point of criticism–has beenimproved.The0-25mphtimehasbeencut by a full two seconds, instantlyrecognisable in a feeling of liveliness.TheECUdecides howand

when the electricmotors shouldcontribute to your progress orconvert themselves into generatorsto replenish the batterywhen the caris braking or battery charge is low.You candecide, via console switches,when to recharge the batteries,whento use electric drive only andwhento ensure all fourwheels are driven.At a cruise on themotorway,most ofthe propulsion comes from thepetrolengine,which clutches itself into thedrive system instead of being ameregenerator, as it is atmost other times.The suspensionhas beengiven

a comprehensive rethink,withstrengthening added to the front and

rear subframes,while the spring anddamper rates have been recalibrated.The result is a flatter, slightly tauterride thanbefore, although the car isstill rather noisy over sharp bumpsin away that its best rivals aren’t.However, the steering is excellent –wellweighted and communicative –and the chassis gripswell in corners,with little body roll.TheOutlander PHEV looks a good

proposition, although it’s arguablethat a diesel could equal andpossiblybeat its range and fuel consumption.However, the ownership factors areparticularly impressive,Mitsubishishave a good reputation for reliabilityand the tax advantages, especiallyfor company car drivers, are hard tooverlook.Given that it’s also a decentdrive, it looks like awise buy.STEVE CROPLEY

Things seem tobe goingquitewell for Jaguar all of a sudden,don’t they?Well enoughthatwemight even risk ahostage to fortune: a hopefor the future.Here’smine.

That in five, 10 or even25 years’time–once themodel catalogue ismore fully fleshed out, the balancesheet is handsomely repayingTata’sinvestment and this great Britishbrand is finally selling enough carsthat any talk of its dreaded ‘untappedpotential’ becomes a thing of the past– someone in long trousers has thegood sense to say: “Enough.

It servesthe interests of keendrivers lookingfor handsome, desirable, real-worlddriver’s cars tuned a bit differentlyfrom theBavarian bunch. It does not,andneednot, serve those looking

Now to thisweek’s goodnews:evidence that Jaguar understandsall of the above, coming in the shapeof the newXF.It’s ameasure of the historic

significance of 2015 for Jaguar thatit can roll out a replacement for thecar that effectively turned around itsfortunes eight years ago and almostno one seems tonotice. The reasonis because theXF represents Jaguardoing something it has hardlyneeded to do at all over the pastdecade: consolidate.Under the skin, theXF is all new.

Inheriting the aluminium-richmodular platform, Integral Link rearsuspension, Ingenium four-cylinderdiesel enginesandelectromechanicalpower steering of the smallerXE, thecar is longer ofwheelbase and cabinbut shorter overall than itsmostlysteel predecessor. Significantlylighter,more aerodynamicallyefficient andmore economical, it hasthemakings of amuch-altered car.And yet it isn’t: not to drive, and◊

These two are equallymatched for real-

∆not in somany otherways, either,all ofwhichwe’ll come to. Jaguarhas had the confidence to usetransformative technology in adiscreet andnon-transformativewaywith this car. To say: “We like thenichewe’ve carved out for ourselveshere, andwehope youdo, too. Sowe’re stickingwith it.”That impression becomes

unmistakablewhen you line upthenewXFagainst one of its keycompetitors and, bit by bit, weighupwhat it doeswell against the not sowell. Our first opportunity to do thathas come in the contrasting shapesof the Jaguar in headline diesel 3.0dS formand theBMW530d, the long-timepreferred choice of the upwardlymobile business setwilling to pay forextra performance andprestige.There is clear substance to Jaguar’s

claim tohave brought theXF rightonto the pace for performance, fueleconomyand all-importantCO2emissions. Themost frugal four-cylinder diesel versions of the carundercut their rivals fromAudi,BMWandMercedes-Benz onCO2.Andwhereas themore powerfuldiesel versions of theXFused to be acountrymile off the standard set byother six-cylindermodels, this oneis different. The 3.0dSmatches our


Twin-turbo straight six diesel engine gives the 530d 398lb ft at 1500rpm and 255bhp

XF’s V6 diesel is also a twin-turbo3.0, but it puts out 516lb ft at 2000rpmand296bhp

TheXF feels stronger at times,but the 530d’s engine andgearbox aremore responsive

NewXF outpoints the5 Series for handling

adeptness and finesse

530dMSport precisely onpaper forclaimed fuel economy,CO2 and the0-62mph sprint. These are thingsclear-thinkingbusiness types arelikely to consider before gettinganywhere near a showroom.As is price, an areawhere theBMW

has ahuge advantage.More than£5000 separates the list prices of ourcars. That differencemaynarrowabit for plenty of customerswhen theyconsider that the Jaguar is slightlybetter equipped than theBMW,but residual valueswill donothingtomitigate for the Jaguar via theimprovement ofmonthly lease costs.Our sources at CAPexpect both carsto retain 48%of their list price overthree years and30,000miles.In themetal, there is better news

for Jaguar. Superior packaginghasaddressed one of the oldXF’smajorfailings, because although the carused to be almost the longest saloonin its class, it also used to be about theleast spacious. Thenewone is at onceshorter andmore roomy, althoughit is still not a car likely to sell on itsaccommodation levels.The 530d, although shorter still, is

evenbigger inside. TheBMW’s cabin– less rich and enticing than theJaguar’s, but stillmore solid-feeling–iswider and longer andoffers a◊


∆ littlemore head room inboth rows.TheBMW’s seats are broader,moreadjustable andmore supportive. Sothe 5 Series is a better ‘big saloon’ inall respects, if big iswhat youwant.And I’mnot sureXFdrivers do.In theXF, the driver trades

outright space for a sense of cradledcloseness at thewheel. Althoughthe cars’ drivingpositions are verysimilar, the Jaguar’s door console,centre tunnel and roof feel closer toyour extremities. The back seats arenowno embarrassment and roomyenough for twobig adults,mainlythanks to a recess carved out of theroof panelling. But theBMW’s backseats are notably bigger still and itsboot is both longer anddeeper.Anew fuel injection system

andnew turbochargers conjuresignificant power and torqueimprovements from the Jaguar’s V6diesel andwill doubtless convince

some that the six-potXF is a closerrival for the 535d than themodelwe’ve pitched it against here.However, on the road, the 530d’sengine is easily amatch for theXF’s.Onmechanical refinement and

flexibility, it’s honours even. TheJaguarV6 is better isolated at idle andlow revs but alsomarginallymorecrotchety and less free-revving thantheBMWstraight six at high revs.Although the Jaguar feels strongerat times because of its greatermid-range torque, theBMW’s engineandgearbox aremore responsive, sothere’s nothingbetween the cars interms of real-world pace, either.Overall – albeit by only a nose–

theBMW’s powertrain shades thecontest, despite givingup somuchonpeakpower and torque. Expecta 535d, then, to feel like a hot rod incomparisonwith theXF– just as itdoes next to every rival bar, perhaps,

Rear passengerswill enjoymore head roomand leg space in the better-packagedBMW

NewXF is roomier in the back than before and two adults can sit here in comfort now

Jaguar’sXF feels likeanaturalathlete andmakes theBMW5Series feel likea journeyman

There’s 520 litres of carrying capacity available in the 530d’s boot and access is good XF’s load bay stretches to 540 litres, aided by the car being slightly wider and longer

Audi’s 3.0-litreBiTDiA6 andA7.Does thismake the 5 Series the

default driver’s choice that it alwaysused to be, at the richer endof thediesel executive saloon spectrum?Perhaps for some itwill. But frankly,even if youhave only a passing,matter-of-fact regard for dynamicsophistication anddriver appeal,I think you’d recognise that one ofthese cars is outstanding to drive andthe other one only very good.TheXFhas the 5 Series totally

beaten for ride andhandling. It’smore supple, compliant andquiet

riding, both on themotorway and atB-road speeds,more progressivelyanddeftly controlled in its verticaland lateral bodymovements,moreagile and responsive throughcorners andmuchmore tactile andcommunicative through its steeringwheel. That the Jaguar comeswithadaptive damping as standard andtheBMWdoesn’t (our test car didwithout it) helps to explain howsuch a striking advantage shouldbe conjured for theXFonbreadth ofdynamic ability. But it can’t excuse it.Whereas the 530d’s steering feels

But the Jaguar’s betterdamping andmore dexterouswheelcontrolmake for amore consistentgrip level and allowyou to adjustits linemoreminutely. TheXF feelslike a natural athlete, suffusing evenits everydaymotorway gaitwith aflavour of its softly sprung, effortlessbrilliance, and itmakes the 5 Seriesfeel like a journeyman–agiftedamateur, perhaps–with a practisedbut not nearly so polished routine.Which brings us neatly back to

wherewe started. Although it hasbeen through ahuge technicalchange, theXFhasn’t really changedmuch at all. It clearlywasn’tmeantto– and that’swelcomenews. Theprevious version spentmost of its life

at the top of ourmid-size executiveclass rankings, thanks to a blend ofnatural, communicative, involvinghandling and a suppleness of ridethat always served itwell onUKroads– and that, for keendrivers,ultimatelymade its relativelyinefficient engines and second-ratecabin spaceworth tolerating.ThenewXFhas yet to be fully

exposed to theAutocar road test, butwhen it is, I fully expect it to returnto its old perch at the top of ourexecutive pile, thanks to evenmoredistinguishing ride andhandling,muchmore competitive engines andbetter practicality.I’m not sure I can see how it

could do anythingbut –not inthismagazine, at least.Nor,moreimportant, can I think of a singlething that Jaguar should have donedifferentlywith this car, rather thanjust done better. There’s still roomfor improvement here and there,in the details: the somewhat fiddlytouchscreen infotainment system,thematerial quality and elsewhere.But Jaguar canperfect details overtime, knowing that it has nailedthe underlyingpositioning andbroader-brush execution of theXFmore sweetly than ever.Here’s to the power of

And cute. It’snot as dinky as you’d think for a carfrom1983. It soldwell in theUSandthey don’t do tiny cars, so at nearly4.3metres long it’s a touch longer eventhan today’s ToyotaGT86.

Thewhole thing,though, is starting to feel like a‘classic’. At least,most of it is. But howabout that engine?Throwopen the bonnet and you

get a good viewof it.Mazda set it

back behind the front axle, to givenigh on a 50/50weight distribution,and it’s a two-rotor unit that runson a carburettor rather thanbeingfuel injected. Each chamber isdiddy, at 573cc. That technicallygives a capacity of 1146cc, butbecausea rotary completes an entirecombustion cycle per revolution–whereas a reciprocating enginewants two revs per cycle – it hasthe equivalent of 2292cc.Back in the day, thatwas good

want to use it to exploit the engineto its fullest. It’s tractable enough atlow revs, but this is a unit that likesto spin. Throttle response is crispand it has a lovely, sonorous soundthat is impossibly smooth. There’sno increase in harshness as revs riseand it gets no angrier andnomorevibratey. It just hums,wasp-like,with a delicate, hollow rasp to theexhaust.Whilemuchof theRX-7feels like a classic experience, theengine doesn’t.

ismore of its time. The steering isunassisted, so anythingbetween3.5 and four turns lock to lock,depending onhowheftily you’re

prepared to challenge its soft limits.And although, later in life, theRX-7was– still is – popularwithdrifters, given thenumber of turnsbetween locks, that’s something I’mdisinclined to trywith this one.Instead, theRX is best enjoyed

in the classic coupé style. It rides on185/70R13 tyres andhas a loping,docile ride quality thatmakes itan easy companion, and it steersnaturally and rolls up to amodestcornering limit. It’ll hold amotorwaycruisewith ease and, as classics go,it’s remarkably usable and, fromless than£5000, not expensive – ifyou can find one.Do so and you’ll have a car that

Ariel Nomad vsGroupN rally car | Shootout


I’d like to claim the idea formyself,but it came fromanaside in aconversation about somethingelse entirelywithAriel bossSimonSaunders.Hementionedin passing thatwhile theywere

testing theirNomad, someonehadcasually timed its progress over astage and thought its pace similar tothat of aGroupN rally car.Had I not knownSaunders for

many years, I’d have dismissed it aspuff, the kind of commentwehearquite a lot: a big, improbable claimcouched in termsbroad enough tooffer plausible deniability shouldanyone ever put it to the test,whichof course they neverwould. Exceptthat’s not his style.But could a rear-wheel-drive

road carwith anormally aspirated2.4-litreHondamotor really keeppacewith a purpose-built four-wheel-drive turbocharged rallycar completewith anti-lag, an

skeleton bob racerAmyWilliams.And it’s true that theEvodoes

have a lot of tricks under its standardskin but so, too, does itweigh almost1400kg–not far off double theweightof theNomad, evenwith theArielin full off-road configuration. Andbecause of theGroupN regulations,theEvo’s engine is not a 400bhpflame-thrower, but a standard roadmotor (save, I believe, toughenedbig-endbolts) breathing through a33mmrestrictor, limitingpower toaround240bhp, far less than a bog-standard showroomEvo IXand apaltry 5bhpmore than theNomad.Would a power-to-weight ratio barelyhalf that of its opponent not prove

electronically programmable centrediff and the kind of suspension thatcouldmake the surface of themoonfeel like theM4motorway?At times like this, it helps to look

at it from the other perspective, andweneeded aGroupNcar to do it. Tothe rescue:well-knownmotorsportpundit Tony Jardine,whohas beena rally driver for 40 years andwillin twoweeks’ time take part in his20thRallyGB,whenhewill bedriving aRallyHireGroupN2007Mitsubishi Evo IX. This is the samecar inwhich, two years ago, aged61,Jardinewonhis class inWalesRallyGB, navigatednot by some seasonedpro butOlympic goldmedal-winning

an impediment too great even for aproper rally car to overcome?The truth is,we didn’t know, so

weheaded to the Sweet LambRallyComplex inmid-Wales to find out.Youmaynever have heard of this

place, but as a venue to go andgiggleyourself senseless driving fast, itbeats the oldNürburgringhandsdown. It has 25miles of gravel stages,including every kind of hump, jump,kink, corner, twist and turn themostfertile imagination could conjure.And if you’re not sideways in everyone of them, you’re not doing it right.The contest was simple: each team

would field its owndriver, Jardine intheEvo andSimonClark behind thewheel of theNomad.Clark, 38, hasdone all the developmentwork on theNomad, knowsSweet Lamb like theroad outside his house and is surelyone of rallying’s great unknowntalents, as the on-board footagewillably illustrate once posted onour

Anti-lag popping, Jardine flungthe Evo at the scenery

Like the Nomad, the Evo’s tyres are road-legal but purpose-built for gravel; 2.0-litreturbo engine is restricted to 240bhp; despite its rally add-ons, the cabin feels familiar

website.We chose a fast two-milestage and invited the drivers to dotheir best. Both carswore purpose-built but road-legal gravel tyres andcould do asmany laps as they chose.I’dman the stopwatch.TheNomadwent first, twitching

and snorting itswayup the hill,Clark firing gear after gear at it,searching for some traction. As thecar disappeared over the brow,wecould hear its staccato voice echoingaroundSweet Lambwith every stabof the throttle. Thenhewas backwithus, running fast downhill, clearlyairborne inmanyplaces, beforeslitheringpast, inside frontwheelwaving in the air, and rocketing awayagain. Itwas an awesome spectacleandproduced a 1min35.9sec lap,whichhe reduced to 1:33.4 two lapslater.Howclosewould Jardine get?It didn’t take long to find out.

Driving like he had a rear-drive FordMk2Escort under his feet ratherthanmodern four-wheel-drive◊

THERALLYCARoffers by far themore familiardriving environment. You have a standard dashboard,conventional driving position and even the originalelectricwindows. It feels pleasantly rapid off the line andaccelerates uphill on gravel as if it were on dry asphalt.

“Let the car do thework” is TonyJardine’s advice, sowhen the tail slideswide on entry, I don’t fight it but usethe steering just enough to keep pacewith it, applyingthe power tomaintain the slide. Like this, the amountof grip it can conjure on this surface is simply absurd.And yes, driven like this in fourth gear on the loose, it isevery bit asmuch fun as it sounds. Even at quite dramaticangles, it never feels frightening, never feels like itmightget away fromyou. Fromstart to finish, it’s on your side,your flexible friend accommodating your every request,however outrageous itmayme. Above all, it inspiresconfidence, because that’s whatmakes rally cars go fast.

I don’t trust theNomad at all on the first lap. In fact,it appears to be trying to kill me, with asmuch violentundersteer followed by snap oversteer as I can quiteuncomfortably copewith. But on lap two, it feels likea different car. It hadn’t occurred tome that the tyres

would need time to get up to temperature on the loose,but I have no better explanation. Thereafter, the ride iswild but no longer suicidal. Despite itsweight advantage,it’s harder to get into the apex than the Evo, butwhenthe nose does bite and the back breaks loose, there’s asmuch fun to be had as you can handle.

So theNomadasks a lotmore of its driver, but for thatreason it provides a greater sense of achievementwhenyoubring it back in the right number of pieces. Formyself,I think I’d rather spend a day at Sweet Lamb in the Evo,because itwouldbe farmore likely tohaveahappyending.But onemore lap? It would have to be in theNomad.AF

∆GroupNcar, Jardine flung theEvoat the scenery, anti-lag popping likesalvoes ofmachine gun fire. It lookedslower, but itwasn’t.He took just twolaps to blitz theNomad’s time and,on the third, did 1:30.4, fully threeseconds faster thanClark.Wherewas theNomadgoing to

find that kind of time?While theEvohad aminor electrical issue fixed, theAriel boyswent to look for it. Theycameback, having slackened offthe rear dampers anddropped thetyre pressures.WhereuponAriel’sHenry Siebert-Saunders,whose babytheNomad is, toldClark to set asidehis understandable concerns aboutdamaging the car, “get back in anddrive faster”.Whichhe duly did.Much,much faster, in fact.His firstflying lapwas the first of the day togounder 1min30sec, and two lapslater he did a barely believable 1:28.4,phlegmatically explaining that he’dfound somemore traction andgotsome heat into the tyres. But to those

Clark admitted that he left hisbrain behind onhis last lap

of us looking on, he seemednot somuchon the edge as having aproperpeek over the other side.On receipt of this news, Jardine

simplymurmured, “Got someworkto do”, strappedhimself back into theEvo anddrove it, to use hiswords,“as fast as I jollywell can”. Except hedidn’t say ‘jolly’.Finding reserves in himself and

the car I didn’t knowexisted, Jardinetookhalf a secondout of theNomadonhis second flying lap and abitmore even than that on thenext.He endedupwith a 1:27.3 lap,1.1sec faster than anAriel beingdriven as fast as apparently possibleon the facility uponwhich itwasdevelopedby the blokewhodid all

the developing. Surely thatwas it,and to come so close to a proper rallycarwas a triumph in its own right.Then, understandably unwilling

to expose it to furtherwear and riskso close toWalesRallyGB, Jardineclosed theEvo’s account. Ariel,however, hadno such constraintsand sentClark out again. Those lastthree lapswill live inmymind for avery long time.His firstwas 1:27.8,his second 1:27.4, one scant tenth offtheEvo. It is fair to say that now therewere a fewpeople hanging aroundon that hillsidewith concernedexpressions on their face, nonebecause theywere anymoreworriedaboutwho’d comeout on top.And then one last lap– the one on

whichClark later admitted to leavinghis brain behind. It seems silly to sithereandwrite this, but the car seemedto be going visibly quicker,morepunctuated than ever by periodswhen you’d hear the revs go off theclock simply because the carwasno longer connected to the ground.Our heartswere pumpinghard justwatching, soGodknowswhat itmusthave been like inside. Andwhen Ilooked at the stopwatch, I thoughtImust have pressed the button atthewrong time. It said 1:25.8. So Iconsulted the twoothers also timingthe run, both part of theRallyHireteam.Theirwatches said the same.So theNomadbeat theEvo IXby

1.5sec.Would Jardinehavegone fasterstill hadhedone the samenumber oflaps? It is impossible to knowbut, tome, it’s also hardly the point:wewentto Sweet Lamb simply to find out if aNomad really could staywith thepace of a purpose-built rally car. Andthe answer is that it can.L

Sharedwith theFiat500X, its roots trace all thewayback to theFiat Punto of 2005butit has long since beendeveloped toaccommodate differingwheelbases,bodywidths and suspensions. Itconfers on theRenegade a transverse,front-mounted engine layout andpredominantly front-wheel drive.From there on, theRenegade◊

Wrangler is Jeep’s styling touchstone

ON THE INSIDE


●Rotary knob locks the4WD in a50/50 split orcycles through terrainmodes. Butwhy put hilldescent and traction control buttons elsewhere?

●Door pockets are small, permitting smallerbottles but little else. Itmeans you end up fillingthe cupholderswith things other than cups.

●Youknow it’s a proper 4x4when there’s a grabhandle like this. Role here is asmuch stylistic asfunctional, hence the integration of the air vent.

MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMThe Limited trim level of our testcar brings two key upgrades to theRenegade’s infotainment set-up:Jeep’s 6.5inUconnect centralmultimedia systemwith DAB radioand sat-nav, and its 7.0in colourpremium instrument cluster screen.The latter is quite useful, relayingroute directions and trip computerinformation at a good, clear size.

But Uconnect lacks the graphicalsophistication and easy navigabilityof the best newmultimedia set-ups,andwhile it offers some app-basedfunctionality, it doesn’t integrate themore obvious socialmedia channels.

Jeep is clever enough to includebutton shortcuts for the featuresyoumost commonly need to switchbetween, and the scroll knob on thebottom right corner of the unitmeansthosewho find it easier not to use thetouchscreen interface on themovedon’t have to. But processes such asswitching the navigation to ‘north up’and disabling auto-zoomaren’t assimple as they ought to be, and themapping lacks detail.

Our test car also camewith FCA’s‘Beats byDr Dre’ nine-speakeraudio system. It soundedmore thanadequate but probably not goodenough to beworth a£590premium.

∆departs fromcrossover conventionwith the freedom-loving glee of itsAmerican roots. Although shorterthan aMazdaCX-3, the Jeep is alsowider than theMazda andmore than160mmtaller in topTrailhawk spec–taller, even, than aBMWX3.This isa boxy, square-jawed, high-rise Jeepin the traditionalWillysmould. Youmay either see that as a refreshingdeparture from thenormorsomething of a visual anachronism,but don’t be surprised if the car’svisual charmputs you in the formercampwhen you see it in themetal.Suspension is all-independent,

while all engines have four cylinders,with all but the entry-level petrolunit being turbocharged. Petroloptions range from108 to 168bhp,diesels from118 to 168bhp, in eachcase giving theRenegademore heartthan the average small crossover – ifyou’rewilling to pay for it.A Jeep’s driveline is equally

important, and theRenegade’sprovides genuine off-road capability– but again, as long as you’rewillingto pay for it. Four-wheel drive isdelivered via an electronicallyactuated clutch– the sameGKN‘rear-axle disconnect’ systemusedon theRangeRoverEvoque–butonly onhigh-end trim levels. All of

the petrolmodels, excluding theflagship 168bhpMultiair turbo, areexclusively front-wheel drive.The cheapest four-wheel-driver

is a 138bhp2.0-litre diesel inmid-spec Longitude trim, priced at justover £23k. It’s a carwhose 190mmof ground clearance is approachedby that of a SkodaYetiOutdoor andbeaten by a SubaruXV. So it’s prettyclear that theRenegadedoesn’t offerdistinguishing off-road ability acrossthe full breadth of itsmodel range–which stands to disappoint a goodportion of its owners.Splash out in excess of £28kon a

top-of-the-range 168bhp turbodieselTrailhawkmodel and you’ll get210mmof ground clearance, frontand rear bumpers tweaked forapproach anddeparture angles inexcess of 30deg, underbody skidplates and anine-speed automaticgearboxwith proper torquemultiplication and a crawler ratio –more of the kind of stuff onwhichJeephas built its reputation, in otherwords. Butmost peoplewill surelylook for a happiermediumof priceand capability – as didwewith our138bhp2.0-litreMultijet diesel testcar, fittedwith six-speedmanualgearbox and active four-wheel drive,in Limited specification.◊

INTERIOR

AAABC

There are predictable shortcomingsand limitations here, among themonlymoderately comfortable frontseats, decidedlymixedmaterialquality levels and anunintuitive,under-provisioned and averagelyrendered infotainment system.But,by the skin of its teeth, theRenegadehas the charm, equipment levelandpracticality to cover for thosefailings, so you can continue to feelas good about the car having climbedin as youmayhave begun towhensurveying its plucky exterior –assuming you’re so inclined.Thedrivingposition is broadly

sound,with plenty of head andleg room.Taller drivers could dowithmore steering column reachadjustment butwill be pleasedwiththe quantity of vertical base heightadjustment – once they’ve dicedwith

the flimsy, sharp-edged adjusterlever. The seat cushions are a bit flatandunyielding, though, and thesquabs are short for taller drivers.The quality of the cabinmouldings

varies from respectable (roll-topdash) to disappointing (interior doorcards, centre console), but there’senough imagination to the detailingto distract you from theworst bits.TheWrangler-derived grille is usedquite endearingly as a recurringmotif on the speakers and seatbacks,while the chunky, geometric forms ofthe infotainment surround, air vents,air-con controls and cupholders areappealing anddifferent.Second-row space is passable. It’s

not as good as you’ll find elsewherein the crossovermarket but just aboutgood enough for bulky child seatsandgrowing teenagers. Boot spaceis adequate but not brilliant; the holdis tall but not particularlywide orlong. A false floor does at leastmakeloading easier and saves some spacefor smaller itemsunderneath.

A60/40 split-folding rear benchis standard, divided convenientlyto givemaximumthrough-loadingspace in right-hand-drive cars. Forthosewhoneed tomakemore of theirRenegade’s carrying flexibility, a40/20/40 split back seat and a foldingfront seatback are both options.Awell-equippedRenegade couldtherefore probably bemade into avery practical second car. Primaryfamily transportationwould stretchit, though,which is an accusationthat can’t be levelled at plenty of othercrossover hatchbacks at this price.

The2.0-litre diesel engine createsa regrettably agricultural vibe as itsettles to its vocal idle.Wheremostmodern cars produce about eightdecibels less, theRenegade allows54dBof enginenoise into its cabin atidle, rising to 70dBat a 70mph cruise.

It’s certainly not the start you’d hopefor froma car that’s claimed to offer“the goodmanners of a passengercar”, andwider test experiencesuggests itmaybe a bigger problemin right-hand-drive examples than inEuropean-spec left-hookers.It’s a shamebecause, beyond

refinement, theRenegade’smid-rangediesel engine has the right sortof character, beingpunchy at lowandmediumrevs, quite strong in overallterms and alwayswilling towork.Dippingunder the 11.0sec barrier

for the 0-60mph sprint puts the caron a roughly level footingwithmostof its diesel rivals –most of themlighter but less powerful. But beingable to accelerate from30-70mphin fourth in about the same time asthose rivalsmakes theRenegadefeel that little bitmore flexible andforceful from low revs thanmost ofthe direct opposition. The engine isdecently responsive, too, andwhileits clatter becomes all themorenoticeable as itworks, it spins fairly

BRAKING 60-0mph: 3.47sec

TRACK NOTESIt’s one of the last cars of its kind thatyou’d choose for a cross-country blast,but the Jeep copes reasonablywell withthe demands ofMillbrook’sHill Route.

Grip levels aremoderate butrespectable and don’t deterioratewith the pronounced but ultimatelycontrolled body roll exhibited throughtighter, harder-charged bends. Up tothe point that you start testing theeffectiveness of the four-wheel driveand torque vectoring systems toshuffle power between the rearwheels,the cornering balance is decent and theauthority of its steering likewise.

Off road, theRenegade’s four-wheeldrive system finds strong traction andconserves forwardmomentumwell.With both the torque vectoring and hilldescent control systems relying on thebrakes towork, tougher tracks can seta test that the brakes can’t live up toindefinitely. Still, the carwill go fartherand harder into the rough thanmanywould believe— andmost owners areever likely to require.

●Car resists understeer fairly wellthrough faster corners such as T3if taken on a balanced throttle,but chase through the apexwith power and it’ll runwide.

● Initial rate of roll isquite high,making theRenegade lurch throughdirection changessuch as the one on theapproach to T2.

cleanly to higher revs, losing its verveonly above 4000rpm.The accelerator pedal is linear

and easy tomanage, but the samecan’t be said of theRenegade’s clutchpedal andgearlever, both ofwhichfeel rubbery and lack reassuringpositivitywhen you’re engagingdrive. The gearlever doesn’t like to behurried through the gate,with thirdgear in particular suffering fromalack ofmechanical definition.Brake pedal feel is respectable,

allowing you to bring the carsmoothly to a stopwithoutmaking itpitch untidily. In something this tall,that’swelcome–and speaks of goodoff-road controllability. Outrightstoppingpower isn’t brilliant but isacceptable enough, given the car’smid-range 17inwheels and the dampconditions of our test.

RIDE AND HANDLING

AAACC

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles canconsider theRenegade a success herein asmuch as the sophistication of itsride andhandling are in the ballparkfor the class. That doesn’tmean this

is a particularlywieldy, comfortableor keen-handling car – or even that ithas any of the virtueswe’re inclinedto praise in a high-rise family hatchin 2015. But it’s competent, beingadequately responsive, grippy, stableand easy to drive,while also feelingalternative – like a Jeep.Whichmayhave beenprecisely the compromisethatwas aimed at.Jeep or not, the car could certainly

steermuchbetter. Perhaps inevitably,theRenegadehas inherited theslightly sticky, pendulous, over-assisted steeringwe’ve encounteredonother carswith the sameplatformin recent years, such as thePuntoEvoand500L.Rarely can youguide thecarwith the fluency andprecisionthat a keenerdriverwould appreciate,andneverwith anymeaningfulfeedback from the frontwheels.If the car’s occasionally jostling,

bumbling, firmly damped rideoffends, it’ll probably be becauseyou’ve got no affinity for theheavy-duty, old-school SUVs theRenegade seeks to reference in justabout everything it does – and if so,you’d be unlikely to find yourselfexperiencing it for long anyway.For anyonewith even the remotest

fondness forwhatmight be called a‘proper’ off-roader,meanwhile, theRenegade’s ride is actually part ofits appeal. The chassis is civilisedenough to keep your passengerscomfy and secure,while gentlyreminding you that it’s readywhenyou are for a sortie downamuddytrack. Bodymovements aremorepronounced than those ofmostcrossovers and aren’t dealtwithsubtly, but they’re reined inwellenough to keep the car on line andunder control, evenwhenpushing on.

BUYING AND OWNING

AABCC

This iswhere the case for theRenegade begins to unravel. Itfeels verymuch like a car originallyintended to take Jeep intowhatmarketeers call theB-SUVsegment,alongside theYeti andCaptur. But it’sas if those samemarketeers realisedthat, in order to adequately representthe Jeep brand, theRenegadewouldneedmore power,moremechanicalspecification andmore 4x4 capabilitythan that segment routinely offers –and all of that inflates the car’s price.

And so to all but those in lovewiththe idea of a downsized Jeep orwho’llmake regular use of its off-roadtalents, theRenegade ends up simplylooking like a curious alternative to afull-size crossover such as theNissanQashqai,MazdaCX-5 or Peugeot3008: characterful and capable,sure, but also downmarket,with itssupermini-levelmaterial qualitylevels, and lacking in space.Jeepuses the high equipment

levels of the car to justify its price,pointing out that a like-for-likeMiniCountrymanCooperDwill cost you£1750more than aRenegade 1.6Multijet Limited, considering thatsat-nav, climate control, 18in alloysand leather are all standard on theJeep and costly options on theMini.But it’s an argument thatwon’t holdwater for a greatmanybecause, firstand foremost, itmakes theRenegadelook expensive onpaper.Credit to Jeep, however, for offering

the varied and flexible finance dealson the car that it’ll need to attract theyounger buyers atwhom it’s aiming,and for creating an environment forthose deals to flourish by deliveringbetter residual values thanwe’veseen from Jeep in a long time.◊

SPEC ADVICEFront-wheel drive ismissing the point, so optfor the cheapest 4x4model: the 2.0Multijet140Longitude. Add 17inwheels, the Function 1pack (£370) and oneor two of your favouriteMopar accessories.

JOBS FORTHE FACELIFTl Start from scratchwith the power steering.Better feedback andconsistency and a bitmoreweight, please.lRetune the ride formore initial body control.lWork on themechanical refinement.l Take£2000out ofthe list price. At least.

As a portent ofwhat to expect fromFiat Chrysler Automobiles, theRenegade offers somereassurance. It’s proof that the groupunderstands the Jeep brand andhas ambitions for it.It also shows that Jeep’s dual-purpose remit continues tomake it difficult for the car tomatch the dynamic sophistication of the best European crossovers, andperhaps that FCA’s

engineering can still only take its cars so far.This is a likeable car and a reasonably effective one. That it doesn’t ride or handle as neatly as

someof its opponents and isn’t as polished to drive on the road is at least partly because it aims for– anddelivers –more off-road capability than those cars.Which is, after all, what a Jeep is for.And yet on refinement, steering, ride tuning and cabin finish, theRenegade could be improved

without changing its nature,while its value has been erodedby over-engineering andquestionablemarket positioning to the pointwhere, formainstreambuyers, it’ll be a hard purchase to justify.

HOW DOES MITSUBISHI’S PHEV WORK?As long as the battery is charged, the PHEV’s

twin electric motors work at up to 75mph for

up to 32 miles. You can charge it in 3-4 hours

by plugging it into a home charger or, if you

know you’re going somewhere where the ability

to run on EV power would be useful, you can

charge the batteries to 80% capacity in up

to 30 minutes at a public rapid-charge station.

The refined 2-litre petrol engine acts as

a generator and will kick in to recharge the

battery or supplement the electric motors

by delivering direct power to the wheels.

The Outlander PHEV automatically chooses

the most efficient mode. Generally, that will

be EV at low speed, and engine-supported

motoring at higher speeds.

E L E C TR I C SHOCK

lectric motoring without constant range

anxiety – in a luxurious SUV – sounds too

good to be true.Well, until the Mitsubishi

Outlander PHEV came along, it was. But Mitsubishi’s

plush ride – now revamped for 2016 – gives drivers

the space and utility of a full-size SUV with running

costs so low that they show up even the tiniest city

cars. There’s really no wonder it’s the UK’s best selling

plug-in hybrid.

SPECIFICATION OVERDRIVE

The Outlander PHEV is the most opulent Mitsubishi

ever. The entry-level GX3h has an automatic gearbox,

keyless entry, cruise control, an auto-dimming rear-view

mirror and dual-zone climate control for the ultimate

in driver comfort. A leather steering wheel and comfy

C-Tec seats to keep you warm in winter and cool in

summer round things off.

The new GX3h+ adds smartphone control, an electric

pre-heater and heated front seats, while the top-end

GX4h specification introduces premium leather seats and a

heated steering wheel, plus an upgraded satnav/DAB audio

system and 360-degree ‘birds eye’ rear camera system.

BEHIND THE WHEEL

The executive quality experience continues behind the

wheel. It’s quiet, for a start: so quiet that the Acoustic Vehicle

Alerting System chimes under 22mph to warn pedestrians

that it’s gliding by. Otherwise, the Outlander drives like a

normal SUV, albeit a comfortable, powerful, five-star

safety-rated SUV. From 0-60mph it’s quicker than the already

impressive 2.2 diesel automatic Outlander, and the instant

torque of electric power is only ever a toe-twitch away.

Low-speed performance and drive-ability have been

improved for 2016, as has fuel consumption (up from

148mpg to 156mpg), and CO2 emissions (down from

44g/km to 42g/km).

With the Mitsubishi badge comes the real off-road

ability we’ve come to expect. The Outlander PHEV has a

Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) permanent 4WD system,

and a lock mode for the slushy stuff. It can tow 1,500kg and

a new UMS (Unintended Acceleration Mitigation) system

teams up with the adaptive cruise and collision mitigation

systems already fitted to GX4hs models.

Mitsubishi’s five-year/62,500 mile warranty gives you

peace of mind, and the separate warranty for the traction

battery has been increased to eight years or 100,000 miles.

You don’t need an PHEV specialist to service it either – any

Mitsubishi dealer will do.

STARTLING BENEFITS

For any driver, Outlander PHEV running costs can be radically

low. The official EU fuel consumption figure is 156mpg, but if

your daily journey is less than 32 miles it could be

considerably more. Longer journeys, such as a motorway trip,

can reduce this but still return impressive figures.

With huge reductions in company car costs – see the table

below – and no worries about range, Mitsubishi’s

remarkable Outlander PHEV has become the default

company car option, irrespective of class.

EMISSION OMISSIONBobBull has got nearer to the truefacts of Volkswagen’s current, direposition thanmany (Your Views, 14October), namely, how concerned areVW’s customers about the emissionsproduced by the cars they own?

Certainly environmentalists,politicians,manufacturers, journalistsand, of course, lawyers are, but is theend user?Based on the experience of30 years in themotor trade, emissionsfigures are the last thing on themind ofa prospective purchaser, except fromapecuniary perspective.

The everyday behaviour ofmanymotorists only supports this observation:unnecessary hard acceleration andbraking, leaving engines runningwhenthey should be switched off, driving onmotorwayswithwindows open, etc.Jeff LoomesHartley, Kent

COMMONNONSENSESo, “common sense should prevail” inthematter of theVolkswagen emissionsscandal, according to JamesRuppert(Deals, 14October).There is a differencebetweenmaking amistake and havingto recall cars, or tuning your engine sothat it legitimately doeswell in tests, andwilfully lying (over a period of years).

I am in themarket for a new carnext year and had been thinking of the

JAGUARNAME GAMEIt has keptmeawake for awhile, but inthe early hours of last Sunday it all fellinto place. I refer to Jaguar’s puzzlingmodel prefix policy — F-Pace being thelatest — but now I have the answer.

TheXF saloonwill be one of a range

of three under the F heading, consistingof the existing F-Type and soon to bejoined by the F-Pace.

TheXE saloonwould therefore, undermy theory, be eventually joined by anE-Pace compact crossover and, tocomplete the range, a compact E-Type.

TheXJwould be joined by a largeJ-Pace crossover and hopefully an XJS-sized replacement, named theJ-Type.

It always feels like you’re damningwithfaint praise to say that a particular caris the best one yet produced by anymanufacturer. It stands to reason that

simply using that phrase implies thatthe car in question remains a vehiclethat falls short of the class best.

Yet you can really be trying toconvey huge improvements in lots of

areas — and that’s exactly the casewithHyundai’s i20. It has just left theAutocar car park aftermore than sixmonths of dutiful service, but it’smorelikely to bemildlymissed thanmourned.

The small Hyundai’s petrol line-upstartswith a 1.2 in a couple of guises,butwe eschewed both the74bhp and83bhp versions andwent for the 1.4,

which comeswith 99bhp, a six-speedmanual gearbox and at least thepotential for use beyond30mph speedlimits. The car’s designated custodian,AaronSmith, who planned to take thecar back to his home townof Bristolmostweekends, was encouraged atour choice ofmotor.

The trim level afforded hima few

toys, too; you can buy an i20without airconditioning (in entry-level S spec), butour pick —SE—has plenty of standardequipment, with 16in alloywheels, air-con, electricwindows all round, electricheated sidemirrors, Bluetooth and rearparking sensors.We added someboldMandarinOrange paint, but the total forour carwas a still-respectable £13,820

—or quite a bit less than£200amonthif you turn upwith a decent deposit forthePCP finance deal.

Those earlymiles, whichwere spentmainly commuting around London,were pleasing enough. The i20 has justabout enough interior space for fourgrown-ups to travel together, and bootspace is reasonable for the class — upon that of a Ford Fiesta, in fact. Thei20 felt at homearound town,withlight steering thatmade it easy topark, a reasonably compliant ride, acomfortable driver’s seat and decentall-round visibility. The enginewassmooth and refined at low speeds, too.

As themiles started to pile on,however, and the journeys becamelonger, there’s no denying that thesheen started to rub off a bit. True,the 1.4-litre enginewas comfortableenough once it was up to speed on a

motorway, but getting up to that pacewas a bit of a chore, accompanied by asmooth but audible bit of engine roar asyou piled on the necessary revs. Nor, itmust be said, did anyone ever considerdriving the i20 just for fun; it fellsquarely into that bracket of ‘appliance’rather than something that couldengender real affection.

The i20’s infotainment systemalsocame in for some stick. It was simpleenough to use and probably amatch forthe Fiesta’s slightly clunky set-up, butwhen rivals such as theMazda 2 offera slick touchscreen system integratedinto the top of the fascia, Hyundai needsto domore than a two-tone display

The i20 felt at home in town,with lightsteering anda reasonably compliant ride

that could have come from the 1990s.The smartphonemount on top of thedashboard looks like an afterthought.

At least it was hard to complainabout build quality. Our i20 never gotthe faintestwhiff of a trip to the dealer,and it seemed to resist lots of four-uptrips on urban roads quitewell, with noserious rattles or creaks to speak ofafter nearly 10,000miles.

It was partial to a drop of fuel, though.Wehadn’t expected to get close to theofficial combined fuel economy figureof 51.4mpg, but Aaron’s hope that hisearly figure of just north of 40mpgwould nudge upwardswith highermileagewould ultimately be denied.

Even so, we can see plenty of reasonswhy lots of peoplewill buy an i20.It’s keenly priced and gets a decentstandard kit list, plus you’ve got theback-up of a five-yearwarranty behindyou.

Mileage 5675A fewweeks ago I reacquaintedmyselfwith theBMWM135i, a car I ran as along-termer in 2013 and gelledwithverywell. I still love its brawny six-potengine, but I was a little disappointedwith it in comparisonwith theGolf R.TheBMWdidn’t steer or handle as

well as I recalled, and its cabin seemedcramped next to that of theVW.

Up front, head and leg roomare nobetter in theGolf than in the 1 Series;in both cases, there’s awide range ofadjustment for the driving position.However, theGolf’s cabin hasmoreelbow room,wider footwells and a

less prominent dashboard, creating theimpression that it is roomier andmorecomfortable by somemargin. In the rearseats,meanwhile, it’s no contest.

Someof that perception of airinessis due to ourGolf’s two-tone nappaleather, but the carbonfibre-patternedhide on the sides of the seats and doorsisn’t to all tastes. For something sopricey (£2615), it looks disappointinglylow rent. In hindsight, I wish I’d stuckwith the standardAlcantara/cloth trim,which looks and feels quite decent, orgone for plain (but classy) black leather.

While I’mpicking holes, I’mno fan ofthe piano black trimon the dash andsteeringwheel. It’s not good at hidingreflections, dust or fingerprints.

There are other niggles in the cabin,themost baffling ofwhich is the ‘CheckSAFELOCK!Owner’smanual!’messagethat pops up on the instrument clusterdisplaywhen you switch off the ignition.Quite apart frombeing offended by theexcessive use of exclamationmarks, I’velooked at themanual and I’mnone thewiser as to the purpose of themessage.

Apparently Safelock disengages thedoor opening leverswhen the car islocked tomake itmore tamper-proof.It can temporarily be deactivated,if necessary, alongwith the interiorsensors, but I don’t seewhat thereis to check as you exit the car.WhatI reallywant to do is deactivate thatdamnedmessage…[email protected]

What’s the perfectweekend car?It’s a difficult question to answerand nearly everyonewill havetheir own answer. But after a

number ofweekends away andwithalmost 4000miles on the clock, theMX-5 ismaking a good case for itself.

That’s not to say that it isn’t a verygood car the rest of the time. In fact,theMazda is a pleasure to commute in,but it’s just that theMX-5 really shineswhen theworkingweek is done and youcan head out of town.

Sowhatmakes a good, or great,weekend car? Forme, it needs to befun, good to drive, capable of handlinga couple ofweekend bags and alsorefined. TheMazda offers all of these.

First off, it ismost certainly fun; ifnothing else, the fantastic soft-topensures that. The ability to drop the roofwhile stopped at a set of traffic lightsand quickly raise it again should theheavens openmeans being able to takefull advantage of any goodweather.

The fun continues, because theMX-5is one of the best cars to drive on theroad at themoment. It was tested to itslimits at our £30k driver’s cars event(26August), where it impressed eachone of our testers. It reallywas putthrough its paces and it returned to

Londonwith awell-deserved victory.Its next challenge comes in the formofBritain’s Best Driver’s Car, sowatch thisspace to see how it gets on.

Great handling and driving thrillsare all well and good, but practicality isalso amust and there has to be enoughspace to copewith a bit of luggage. Aweekend car doesn’t need to be able tohandle flat-pack furniture —well, notforme, at least, although I’m sure for

The final criteria for anexcellentweekend car isrefinement. ExpectingMercedes S-Class-stylemotorway cruising ability

is perhaps asking a bitmuch, but it’sgreat to comeback fromaweekend atthewheel and not be utterly exhausted.TheMX-5 is remarkably quietwith theroof down and thewindows up, and it’seasy to have a conversationwith yourpassenger.With the roof up, it is noisierthan somethingwith ametal foldingroof, but it’s still impressively hushed.Four hours on amotorway oneweekendproved that.

As I’mno longer 17 or in need of amarginalmotor, I really shouldn’tbother looking for £100 cars.However, someone askedme

nicely, so I thought I’d have a go.The trouble is, buying a car for nowt

is very difficult these days. Some callit the ‘WeBuyAnyCar’ factor, whichmeans any carwith a bit of life left in it —anMOT, in otherwords — is alwaysworth£150 to£200-plus. But nevermind, I’lltake a carwith damage, a shortMOT,minormechanical issues and all sorts ofmajor cosmetic ones. So fourwheels,ideally, an engine and, er, that’s it.

The first rule of buying a cheapieis not to travel far. There’s no pointtearing around the country looking atrubbish. It costs time andmoney and

causes all sorts of hasslewhen it comesto collection, whether it’s train fares orthe other halfmoaning.Marginal carscan often havemarginal reliability,so the potential for spending a Fridaynightwaiting for the rescue servicesismassively increased. If it’s local, youmight at least be able to take it back tothe seller and have an argument.

What about free cars?People arealways tellingme they got a car for freeand actually I’ve given a fewaway, butyou do need to be in the right place atthe right time. I went on the Freecyclewebsite and at thatmoment no hippieswere givingCitroën 2CVs to each other.

Car dealers aren’t the best source ofcheapies, either. After all, they’re in it tomakemoney, but sometimes the hassle

£75 to£95 category.My local garagelaughed at the thought of a £100 carand said they’d callme if the£200Saab9-5 theywere looking atwas any cop.The phone hasn’t rung yet.

You need to realise that everythingis nowapotential classic. The auctionwebsites aremisleading. So I watchedas the bidding rocketed beyond£800for a rattly AustinMetro, a ratty 1994Mercedes-Benz 230TE and amucked-about-with 1980sMini.

In the end,my teenager turned up a£100Renault Clio through socialmedia.It even had anMOTuntil next spring.Therewas a catch, of course: a headgasket puffing away like Stephenson’sRocket. Do I need the hassle of sortingout a car atmy time of life?Pass.

READER’S CAR: PEUGEOT 306 RALLYEDionPrice’s brother had aPeugeot 306GTi-6when theywere new. Dion loved that car, so the prospect of a stripped-out version of an already light car led to him find aRallye.

“I bought it for £1750 about two and a half years ago,”he says. “It tookme awhile to find as they are (a) rare and(b) usually pretty rough.

“Valueswere sub-£2000, but given the limited run ofonly 500 cars —200 red, 200 black, 100white — I knowpriceswill be heading back up again soon enough.”

WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE THIS WEEK

Buying a used car online really does discourage the

buyer frommeeting the seller — and that’s a very bad

thing. Sadly, that situation isn’t going to change.

USED CAR DILEMMA: RENAULT LAGUNA COUPEYes, therewas one. Never seen the coupé?You’vemissed out on a handsomemotor that looks a bit like ascaled-downVantage— anAstonMartin Swan, perhaps.Therewas a3.5V6petrol, but the diesels are great.

If you’re lucky, youcould come across aRenault Clio for £100


A SwissArmy garagefor £6000

Withwinter just around the corner,you need some4x4 capability in yourline-up. The original Cherokee is one ofthe toughest and arguably best-valueoff-roaders out there. Despitewhat youmight think, it offers surprisingly goodreliabilitywhen looked after; Cherokeescan top 200,000mileswith ease.

The4.0-litre straight six is the bestengine to go for, offering both longevityand a surprising turn of speed. It’sthirsty, butmany have been convertedto LPG. Diesels are painfully slow.Keep an eye out for rust, while exhaustmanifolds and rear leaf springs cancrack. Prices start at just under £1000.

Jeep Cherokee (1993 2001)

Everymulti-car garage needs a sportylittle number, and theCelica fits thebill nicely.Most have a reasonable140bhp, but speed demonswill bemoreinterested in the 190andT-Sportmodels.Their high-revving 189bhp 1.8-litreengine needsworking hard, but they’recapable of 0-60mph in 7.4sec. Handling

is fun, while equipment levels are high.Although theCelicahas rear seats,

theyareonly really suitable for children.At least the large liftback reveals adecentboot for a coupé.Celicas cansuffer fromsuspension issues, sokeepanearout for clonksand rattleson the testdrive. Expect topayas little as£700.

Toyota Celica (1999 2006)

Whyhave one car on your drivewaywhenyou can get half a dozen that can fulfil everyneed?Alan Taylor-Jones picks six verydifferent cars for less than£1000 a pop

There are countless superminis outthere for considerably less than£1000, butwe’ve picked onewitha little poke. Fittedwith a 1.6-litreengine, itmay only have 101bhp,but it’s enough for a 0-60mph timeof less than 10 seconds. Althoughoutright speed is not this car’sforte, uprated suspensionmakesit a blast through corners, while

the looks benefit fromalloywheelsand a racy bodykit.

Being a Fiesta of this vintage, rustcan always be aworry. Corrosionat the rear archeswill be easy tospot, but you’ll need to check sills,floorplans and battery trays. Listenout for bottom-end knocks in theengine, too. Prices for a roadworthyexample start at around£600.

If there’s one car that has always been atthe cutting edge, it’s theS-Class. Cleveras itmay be, however, it isn’t immunefromdepreciation. It’s for this reasonthat you can pick up a 1990s or early2000s example so cheaply.

Youwon’t get aminter for thismoney,nor somethingwith lowmiles. Instead,focus on condition andwhat servicehistory the carmight have.While youwillbe able to find plenty of cars in budget,bear inmind that repairs can be costly.

TheZafirawas a revelationwhen it firstcameout. Offering seven seats in apackage the length of anAstra, itmeantfamilies could avoid bigger, thirstierMPVs. They don’t handle badly, either.

Early diesels are slow and unrefined,but even the later DTi will seemprettydated bymodern standards. A 1.8 petrolwould be a good bet if you’re not doingmega-miles. Condition and servicehistory are farmore important thanmileage, and you can afford to be picky.

You can easily grab something forsome fun in the sun for less than£1000.For thatmoney, theMk3/Mk4GolfCabriolet is a good bet, with plenty ofchoice out there. Don’t expect this to bea sports car, though.

Theremaybe the option of a 2.0-litre

petrol engine, but even that has just115bhp, while handling ismore squidgythan sporty. Keep an eye out for rustywheelarches and damaged hoods. The2.0maynot be fast, but it is reliable,assuming the cambelt has been changed.Just £500will get you onewith anMOT.

No one produces as thorough a judgement on a newcar as Autocar. As well as acceleration, braking, fueleconomy and noise tests, we carry out benchmarklimit-handling tests, setting lap times if appropriate.But we don’t just drive at the track, essential as it isfor finding the limits of performance; we also driveon awide range of roads. We aim to produce themostcomplete, objective verdict in the business, so you canbe sure how good a car is. Where we have testedmorethan onemodel in a range, the rating is for the rangeoverall; where amodel within the rangemeets ourcoveted five-star standard, it is highlighted in yellow.

Akeen interest in fuel economy isn’ta recent phenomenon. Back in the1960s,manydriverswere just asobsessedwith teasing asmuch as

possible fromevery drop of fuel.“A greatmanypeople,willingly or

unwillingly, are feeding their carswithmuchmore petrol than they reallyrequire to do theworkdemandedofthem,” saidAutocar, before going onto offer someadvice on frugal driving,which “neednot be boring”.

“It is hoped that theymay save afewpounds a year,without lesseningthe enjoyment they obtain from theirmotoring, for reasonable fuel economygoes hand inhandwith an efficientlymaintained andwell-driven car.”

Tip onewas decent upkeep of yourcar: “Excessive consumptionmaybeattributed towear or neglect; in suchcases, no amount of economical drivingwill helpmuch. Any resistance to freemotionwill increase consumption, asthe need to overcome itwill requirethatmuchmore power (and, therefore,petrol) for a givenperformance.

“Lack of lubrication andbindingbrakes are obvious examples.Under-inflated tyres, too, give a decidedincrease in rolling resistance.”

Next therewere the common-sensedriving tips: anticipate the road

‘Incidentally, verylittle fuel is usedwhen ticking over,so it is scarcelyworth switching offin such conditions’

conditions and traffic ahead, avoidheavy acceleration,maintain a suitablecruising speed and take advantage ofgradients onundulating roads.

“On long journeys there is atremendous scope for fuel economy,and there needbe little, if any, reductionin average speed. Theprinciple is toremember that every time youuse thebrakes you arewastingpetrol – bydestroyingmomentumwhichhas beenachieved by burning fuel andwhichmust be restored by burning somemore.

“It is a case for smoothness, gentlenessand anticipation in everymovement, asteady, delicate right foot and as little useof the brakes as possible.”

Autocar practisedwhat it preached:“Byusing thesemethods to a reasonableextent on a tunedSunbeamRapier, and

keeping overdrive engaged throughout a300-mile journey to theWestCountry, afigure of 35mpgwas recorded, togetherwith an overall average speed of 35mph.

“Onanother occasion,making anearly start anddrivinghard on traffic-free roads, the same car recorded as littleas 20mpg for an average of 50mph.

“In terms of time andmoney, usingtop-grade fuels at 5s per gallon, thismeant that the journey cost £22s 6d atan average speed of 35mphand£3 15sat 50mph, so it cost £1 12s 6d (plus a fairamount of nervous energy) to save twoand ahalf hours.”

Getting the engine up to temperaturequicklywas vital for saving fuel.

“Where a car is beingused almostexclusively for short runs, a radiatorblind canhelp in getting the engineto its running temperature quickly,but once this is achieved, be ready toreturn the blind to the ‘furled’ position,aswrapped-up engines are liable tooverheat very rapidly in traffic jams.

“Incidentally, very little fuel is usedwhen ticking over, so it is scarcelyworthswitching off in such conditions.”

Obviously no onehad consideredautomatic stop-start systemsback then.In any case, queues of trafficwouldhavebeen infrequent enough that stop-startwouldn’t have beendeemednecessary.
