Petrol or Electric? 2020 Peugeot 2008 vs Peugeot E-2008 Review
The Peugeot 2008 and its electric counterpart, the e-2008, present a daring and modern exterior design, a significant improvement in interior space ov... moreer the predecessor, and a stylish, modern cockpit, particularly in the GT trim. The reviewer highlights the sporty GT seats as a positive, offering good support. However, for taller individuals, the cockpit can feel somewhat cramped, and visibility can be an issue due to the i-Cockpit and small steering wheel. The driving experience is described as fun and agile, with both the petrol and electric versions offering enjoyable dynamics, though the e-2008 provides a silent and effortless drive. The official range for the e-2008 is stated as 320 km (200 miles), with charging up to 11kW AC and 100kW DC. The reviewer notes a price difference of around €8,000 between the top-tier petrol GT and the e-2008 GT, which can be offset by subsidies and tax benefits. Ultimately, the choice between petrol and electric depends on charging infrastructure availability and typical driving distances, with the e-2008 being ideal for shorter trips with charging access. less
The First All-Electric Mazda MX-30 - Test Drive in the EV Prototype
The Mazda MX-30 presents a unique proposition in the EV market, emphasizing sustainability and a distinctive design. The reviewer highlights the use o... moref recycled and animal-free materials throughout the interior, including cork accents referencing Mazda's heritage, as a major positive. The "freestyle doors" (suicide doors) are noted as a daring design choice, though potentially less practical for daily use compared to conventional doors. Driving dynamics are described as surprisingly normal, comfortable, and fun, with good acceleration thanks to the electric motor's instant torque and a low center of gravity, offering a more engaging experience than some combustion engine counterparts. However, the relatively small 35.5 kWh battery and a quoted range of around 200 km (125 miles) are identified as significant limitations, particularly for those undertaking longer journeys or frequent highway driving. The reviewer suggests this model is best suited for city driving with overnight charging. Overall, the MX-30 is praised for its commitment to sustainability and its comfortable, natural driving feel, but its limited range is a key consideration. less
Upcoming New Cars From Los Angeles Motor Show For 2020
The Audi e-tron Sportback is presented as a sleeker, coupe-styled alternative to the standard e-tron SUV, sharing the same platform and front-end desi... moregn. Key differences lie in its falling roofline and a more integrated rear spoiler, contributing to its sporty aesthetic. Technologically, it features optional LED digital matrix lights with advanced micro-mirror technology for precise illumination and lane marking. Powertrain options include the 50 Quattro with 310 hp and a range of 350 km, and the more powerful 55 Quattro with 360 hp (boostable to 408 hp) and a range of 400 km. While the Sportback offers a front trunk for charging cables, it sacrifices some rear trunk height compared to the standard e-tron. Interior options range from standard seats to multi-contour seats, with a focus on Alcantara inserts. However, the reviewer notes a contradiction in its sustainable electric vehicle positioning with a continued focus on animal skin upholstery, though fabric seats are available in Europe. The dual touchscreen MMI interface is functional but can be distracting while driving. less
2020 Seat Mii EV Review
The 2020 Seat Mii EV is presented as Seat's first all-electric vehicle, emphasizing value for money and a city-focused driving experience. The re... moreviewer highlights that compromises were made to keep the price point affordable, such as halogen bulbs and a less advanced infotainment system, opting for analog controls instead. Despite these, the Mii EV is praised for its surprisingly spacious interior for its size, good all-around visibility, and a peppy, crisp driving feel, especially in urban environments with its quick 0-50 km/h acceleration. The real-world range is noted to be slightly less than the WLTP-tested 260 km (162 miles), with the reviewer achieving around 14.6 kWh/100km in mixed conditions, but deemed sufficient for its intended use. Handling is described as nimble and well-balanced, with the added weight of the battery not negatively impacting the drive thanks to revised suspension. The reviewer strongly recommends the Mii EV for its affordability, fun driving dynamics compared to its combustion engine predecessors, and practical range for city dwellers, calling it an 'unbeatable package' at its price point. less
2020 Toyota C-HR Hybrid Review - What Have They Improved?
The 2020 Toyota C-HR Hybrid receives a significant facelift, enhancing its distinctive exterior styling with bolder lines and updated lighting signatu... moreres. Inside, the cabin benefits from improved soft-touch materials and a more premium feel, though the infotainment software itself is criticized as "rubbish." However, the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto significantly mitigates this issue, as these will likely be the primary interfaces used. The reviewer highlights three key upgrades: improved noise insulation, a more natural and connected steering feel, and a significantly more comfortable suspension, particularly on the 2.0-liter hybrid model. While the trunk space remains a limitation, especially for larger luggage, the C-HR's compact size is advantageous for city driving. The hybrid system, especially the new 2.0-liter variant with 180 horsepower, offers a compelling blend of performance and excellent fuel economy (around 5.5 liters/100km or over 40 mpg). Overall, the facelift is considered one of the best seen recently, making the C-HR a strong contender, particularly the 2.0 Hybrid, due to its refined driving dynamics and efficiency. less
New BMW X5 Plugin-Hybrid Review 2020 X5 45e
The BMW X5 xDrive45e Plug-in Hybrid (2020) offers a refined driving experience, blending the capabilities of a traditional X5 with the benefits of ele... morectric propulsion. The reviewer highlights the smooth, quiet operation, especially in electric mode, which significantly enhances comfort in city driving. The transition between electric and combustion power is seamless, and the inline-six engine provides ample performance, comparable to the petrol-only 40i model. Key advantages include a substantial electric range of approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles) and the standard air suspension contributing to a comfortable ride. Criticisms are minor, focusing on the relatively slow 3.7 kW AC charging speed and a slight reduction in boot space (500-1700 liters) compared to non-hybrid X5 models. The reviewer also notes the potential for accidental closure of the split tailgate. Overall, the X5 45e is praised for its sophisticated driving dynamics, quiet interior, and the financial and environmental benefits it offers, particularly when frequently recharged with renewable energy. less
Volvo XC90 vs XC60 vs XC40 Comparison Review
This comprehensive comparison review pits the Volvo XC90, XC60, and XC40 against each other, evaluating their exterior design, interior appointments, ... moreand driving dynamics across various engine options. The XC90 stands out for its seven-seater capability and spaciousness, offering a comfortable, albeit less feedback-driven, ride thanks to its optional air suspension. The XC60, particularly the hybrid variant, impresses with its nimble handling, responsive performance, and a luxurious feel, though some interior finishes are noted as inconsistent with its price point. The XC40, despite its more basic interior materials and a manual gearbox option for cost-saving, is highlighted as the surprise success of the group. It delivers exceptional driving fun and value, with the reviewer praising its ability to pack a significant driving experience into a smaller, more affordable package, making it the personal favorite for its sheer enjoyment factor. less
2020 Peugeot 208 vs Peugeot E-208 - Is the New EV Better Than Petrol and Diesel?
The 2020 Peugeot 208 and its electric counterpart, the e-208, are reviewed, highlighting significant design advancements over the predecessor. The rev... moreiewer praises the striking, modern styling and improved driving position, though notes the infotainment system may require some adjustment. While the petrol and diesel variants offer competent performance, particularly the 100hp petrol as a compromise, they are described as evolutionary rather than revolutionary. The electric e-208, however, is presented as the "full realization" of the platform, with its added weight enhancing the driving dynamics and making the car feel more cohesive. Real-world range for the e-208 is estimated to exceed 200 miles even under hard driving. Despite the higher cost, the e-208 is the reviewer's definitive pick for its modern, forward-thinking approach and superior driving experience, though all variants are recommended for a test drive. less
2020 Audi A7 PHEV Review - Electric Performance With Quattro Ultra?
This review of the 2020 Audi A7 PHEV, specifically the 55 TFSI e variant, highlights its striking exterior design and sporty aesthetics, even in the P... moreHEV configuration. The interior is praised for its high build quality and premium materials, though the reviewer notes a continued reliance on animal skin which may change in future models. The infotainment system, with its dual touchscreens, is functional, and the virtual cockpit is lauded as one of the best on the market. Driving dynamics are a strong point, with the reviewer appreciating the light yet agile steering and the car's neutral and balanced acceleration, even on wet surfaces thanks to the Quattro Ultra system.

The combined power output delivers a significant performance boost, making it a genuinely fun and sporty car. However, the trunk space is compromised due to battery placement, and rear passenger space, while decent, is not class-leading due to the car's sporty fastback styling. less
New Audi Q7 PHEV Review With 450 HP - Better Than SQ7?
The Audi Q7 Facelift, specifically the 60 TFSI e plug-in hybrid model, is reviewed as a strong contender, offering a blend of performance and efficien... morecy. The reviewer highlights the updated exterior styling, noting its more robust and modern appearance, especially with the S line package. Inside, the build quality remains exceptional, with a clean, modern dashboard featuring updated infotainment systems that are now consistent with the Q8. The ride comfort is praised, with the vehicle feeling agile despite its considerable weight, further enhanced by the silent electric drivetrain. Performance is a key highlight, with the 450 horsepower system output delivering impressive acceleration, comparable to the SQ7. The electric range is stated as approximately 40-50 kilometers (around 30 miles), which the reviewer deems realistic for daily commuting, especially when frequently recharged. However, limitations include the absence of a 7-seater option and a lower cargo floor due to the battery and charger storage. The reviewer suggests that while the hybrid system is efficient, the combustion engine is more economical on the motorway. Overall, the Q7 PHEV is recommended for those with a commuting profile that benefits from electric driving during the week and longer trips on weekends, offering a refined and powerful driving experience. less
All-Electric Porsche Taycan First Driving Review
The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is presented as a groundbreaking electric sports sedan, blending raw power with sophisticated design and technology. The re... moreviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, noting that 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds is exhilarating even for experienced drivers. The advanced 800-volt system, dual motors, and a two-speed rear gearbox contribute to exceptional traction and performance that rivals internal combustion engines. A key technological marvel is the regenerative braking, which handles 90% of deceleration, preserving the physical brakes and aiding battery recharge. The interior is described as "digital," dominated by screens, though the reviewer points out a potential issue with the driver's display visibility due to steering wheel placement. The optional passenger display is noted as a significant technological leap. Practicality is addressed with decent boot space and a front storage compartment, and the vegan interior option is praised for sustainability. While acknowledging it may not be the absolute best in range or power compared to all competitors, the reviewer concludes the Taycan Turbo S is a "whole package" that delivers on expectations, representing a significant step forward for electric performance vehicles. The high price is justified when compared to a well-equipped Panamera. less
2020 Volvo S60 T8 Twin Engine Review
The 2020 Volvo S60 T8 Twin Engine is presented as a compelling alternative to established German luxury sedans, offering a blend of sophisticated desi... moregn, advanced technology, and potent performance. The reviewer highlights the car's instantly recognizable Volvo styling, comfortable and luxurious interior with high-quality materials, and ample rear-seat space thanks to its extended wheelbase. The T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain delivers an impressive combined 390 horsepower, providing strong acceleration and the flexibility of electric-only driving for city commutes, with a claimed electric range of up to 58 kilometers. While the car excels in comfort and technology, the review notes that it falls short of being a truly sporty sedan, with some body roll and a less engaging driving experience compared to rivals like the BMW 3-Series. The reviewer also points out the lack of paddle shifters and a crystal shift lever that isn't particularly fun to use. Despite a high price for the tested inscription trim, the availability of subscription-based leasing is mentioned as a potential value proposition, making it an interesting, albeit not overtly sporty, choice in the mid-size executive sedan segment. less

The PHEV with the High EV Range in the Mercedes GLE 350 de Review
The Mercedes GLE 350 de Plug-in Hybrid Diesel is reviewed as a modern, comfortable SUV with a significant electric range, making it suitable for daily... more commutes without local emissions. The reviewer highlights the spacious interior, impressive dual-screen infotainment system, and the availability of sustainable interior materials. A key advantage is the large battery capacity, enabling substantial electric-only driving. However, the reviewer notes a compromise in trunk space compared to non-hybrid variants. The driving experience is described as comfortable, with effective, albeit not overly aggressive, regenerative braking. A point of criticism is the vehicle's lane departure warning system, which relies on brake intervention rather than steering, deemed potentially harsh. Overall, the GLE 350 de is presented as a compelling option for those seeking a luxurious, long-range PHEV, especially if governmental tax benefits are applicable. less
Reviews of the Cars That Will Be Important in 2020
The Honda e is presented as a charming and bold urban EV, drawing comparisons to the classic Golf Mk1 with its friendly, round headlamps and clean des... moreign. While it misses out on an illuminated Honda logo due to European regulations, its practical features like the front camera and accessible charging ports (AC/DC up to 50kW) are highlighted. The compact dimensions (3.9 meters length) and tight turning circle (9.2 meters) make it ideal for city driving, further enhanced by standard camera mirrors. Inside, the "living room furniture" aesthetic, featuring high-class fabrics and Scandinavian-inspired design, is praised for its quality and reduction of black plastics. However, the reviewer notes a design flaw where seat heating controls can be accidentally activated by the knee. The dual 12.3-inch screens and 6-inch mirror monitors are integrated well, though the reviewer questions if it's "screen overkill." The rear seats offer reasonable space for short drives, and the trunk is described as "very limited." Despite a price point around €34,000 (entry) to €40,000+ (higher trims), which is higher than competitors like the Opel Corsa-e or VW ID.3, the Honda e is deemed a successful, modern car for city dwellers, potentially becoming a bestseller in its segment due to its iconic design and well-thought-out interior concept. less

All-New BMW 3-Series PHEV Review Xtraboost & Electric With the 330e
The reviewer provides a comprehensive look at the BMW 330e, highlighting its seamless integration of electric and combustion power, particularly prais... moreing the smooth transition and the "XtraBoost" feature. The electric-only range is noted as realistic at around 50 km, with the ability to drive up to 140 km/h purely on electric power being a significant plus. Interior quality is deemed segment-leading, with excellent build quality and a user-friendly infotainment system, though the lack of Android Auto is a drawback. The reviewer found the trunk space somewhat limited due to battery placement but manageable for certain loads. The adaptive suspension is highly recommended for its superb comfort and sporty balance. However, the primary concern is the high price, which can easily exceed 70,000 Euros in Germany, making government subsidies and tax benefits crucial for its value proposition. less
2020 Corsa Review With Interior Opel Vauxhall Corsa-e vs Corsa GS-Line - Autogefuel
The 2020 Opel/Vauxhall Corsa marks a significant evolution, particularly with its all-electric Corsa-e variant, offering an affordable entry into the ... moreEV market. The new generation boasts a sleeker, more modern design, lower roofline, and improved aerodynamics, though this does slightly impact headroom for taller individuals. The interior features a clean design with a digital instrument cluster, but the reviewer notes some cheap-feeling materials and build quality concerns, attributing them partly to the prototype nature of the test vehicles. The GS-Line trim offers a sportier aesthetic with supportive, albeit stiffer, seats compared to the standard variants. Practicality is enhanced with increased trunk space and a wider loading aperture. The electric Corsa-e features a 50 kWh battery promising around 330 km of range and supports 11 kW AC and 100 kW DC charging. The combustion engine variants offer a range of petrol and diesel options. Overall, the Corsa presents a compelling package for its price point, balancing modern design, electric capability, and practicality, despite some compromises in interior refinement and seating comfort for taller occupants. less

The Autogefuel review of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid highlights its impressive performance and unique hybrid concept. The reviewer praises th... moree vehicle's astonishing handling, which belies its size and weight, likening it to a sports car. The electric drive offers silent, comfortable city driving, while the V8 engine provides exhilarating acceleration and sound when needed. The interior quality is noted as high, with a special mention for the optional fabric seats and Alcantara steering wheel as a welcome alternative to traditional leather. While the Coupe version sacrifices some trunk height compared to the SUV, it remains a highly usable and visually appealing option. The reviewer suggests the V6 hybrid offers better price-performance, but the Turbo S E-Hybrid provides a compelling blend of power, technology, and driving dynamics for those seeking the ultimate performance. less
VW Passat GTE Review PHEV Facelift 2020
The VW Passat GTE Plug-in Hybrid facelift receives a thorough review, highlighting its blend of electric and combustion power. The reviewer praises th... moree updated infotainment system, the comfortable 'Aggro Comfort' seats, and the spacious interior, noting that the GTE version offers no compromise on practicality, including trunk space. The electric range is deemed realistic, with the reviewer achieving around 40 km, close to the claimed 55 km, and noting a significant improvement over the pre-facelift model. The driving experience is described as confident and calm, with the GTE mode providing a noticeable electric boost for acceleration. However, the reviewer points out that the true benefit of a PHEV hinges on the owner's ability to recharge regularly. If not, the added weight of the battery offers little advantage. The reviewer also touches on the financial benefits in markets like Germany for fleet cars. Overall, the Passat GTE facelift is presented as an elegant, spacious, and refined option in the mid-size segment, particularly for those who can leverage its plug-in hybrid capabilities. less
Honda CR-V Hybrid Review - Is It An EV Powered By Fuel?
The Honda CR-V Hybrid presents a compelling case as a fuel-efficient SUV, particularly for those without robust charging infrastructure. The reviewer ... morehighlights its significant fuel savings, achieving around 5 liters per 100km (47 mpg US / 56 mpg UK), which is a substantial improvement over the non-hybrid variant. The unique hybrid system, combining a combustion engine, generator, and electric motor without a traditional transmission, is noted for its efficiency, especially when driven smoothly. The vehicle offers ample interior space and easy entry/exit thanks to its 90-degree rear doors. While the interior styling is described as conservative and the infotainment system could be more responsive, the CR-V Hybrid's strengths lie in its excellent price-performance ratio, practicality, and the ability to offer extended EV driving moments. The reviewer concludes that it's a smart intermediate step towards full electrification, offering the benefits of hybrid efficiency without the range anxiety of pure EVs. less
Tesla Model 3 Review With Acceleration, Track Mode, Consumption, Range
The Tesla Model 3 Performance is reviewed, highlighting its sleek exterior design, reminiscent of the Model S but with a distinct flat hood beneficial... more for interior visibility. The interior is praised for its minimalist aesthetic, dominated by a central 15-inch screen, and the commendable use of animal-free materials. Space utilization is noted as excellent, thanks to the electric platform, offering ample room for passengers and significant trunk space, including a front trunk. On the track, the acceleration is described as "awesome" and "spaceship-like," with instant torque from the dual motors. However, the reviewer points out that while the "Track Mode" enhances agility and allows for some sliding, the suspension, particularly with the 20-inch wheels on the Performance model, is considered too stiff for everyday comfort and not optimized for serious track performance compared to dedicated sports sedans. The reviewer also notes that while the acceleration is impressive, the car reaches its limits in cornering, suggesting it's not a direct competitor to M3 or C63 in that regard. Build quality details are mentioned as a potential area for improvement. Real-world consumption is reported at an impressive 15 kWh/100km, aligning with EPA figures, promising a range of around 500 km (310 miles) for the larger battery. less
Mercedes EQC Review - Why This Is Like a Mercedes GLC 43 AMG Coupé Gone Electric!
The Mercedes EQC is presented as an electric alternative that closely mirrors the performance and driving dynamics of the GLC 43 AMG Coupé, albeit wit... moreh a heavier footprint. The reviewer highlights its agile handling, attributed to a low center of gravity thanks to the substantial battery pack. Interior styling is praised for its unique, high-class, and sustainable elements, distinct from the GLC platform, while maintaining Mercedes' signature design language. Standard equipment is noted as generous, making it a competitive offering within the Mercedes lineup despite its premium price point. The real-world range is estimated at approximately 350 kilometers (220 miles) with an average consumption of 23 kWh/100 km, comparable to its competitors. While not as spacious as the Audi e-tron, the EQC is deemed more agile and classier than the Jaguar I-Pace, and quieter than Tesla models, positioning it as a strong contender for traditional Mercedes customers seeking an electric option. less
The First Compact SUV by DS - DS3 Crossback Review
The DS3 Crossback is presented as a bold and unique offering in the compact SUV segment, immediately distinguishing itself with its highly stylized ex... moreterior design. The reviewer notes that the styling is polarizing, emphasizing that potential buyers must see it in person to fully appreciate its dynamic presence. Inside, the cabin features a visually pleasing and high-quality material selection, though some design elements, like angular vents contrasting with flowing door panels, create minor disjoints. Seating comfort is described as a mixed bag, with a deep driving position and seats that lack snugness for spirited driving, despite offering good bolster support. Usability of the infotainment system and touch-sensitive controls is a point of contention, with the reviewer finding them unintuitive and lacking haptic feedback, though the optional head-up display is highly recommended for its clarity and ease of use. The reviewer tested the 130 horsepower petrol engine with an 8-speed automatic, finding it adequate but not powerful, with driving modes offering little significant differentiation beyond engine noise. Handling is praised for its security and composure, even with the higher ride height, though the seats don't provide enough support for aggressive cornering. Rear passenger space is deemed comfortable for those 6-foot and under, but the 350-liter boot space and high loading lip are considered somewhat disappointing. Ultimately, the DS3 Crossback is recommended for those who embrace its distinctive styling and are prepared to navigate its more challenging aspects, particularly regarding interior usability and trim choices. less
