Recently released ‘This month, we’ve figures from the rated every SUV Society of Motor and looked closely Manufacturers and Traders at class leaders’ show that sales of new cars in the UK shrank for the third consecutive year in 2019. However, SUVs continue to buck this downward trend and it’s easy to see why. Once, these tough-looking vehicles were expensive to run and crude to drive, but today the best combine efficiency with style and are as comfortable as they are spacious. What’s more, with so many brands recognising the potential for attracting new customers, there’s now a huge variety of models to choose from. Here’s the paradox, though: while this means there’s more chance that someone is selling exactly what you want, it can also make it harder than ever to find. So, this month, we’ve not only rated every SUV available but also looked more closely at the current class leaders and exactly what they offer. It should make finding your ideal SUV a lot easier.

Our 2020 Car of the Year is practical, frugal and fun to drive Our pick 1.0 Ecoboost mHEV 155 ST-Line X List price £23,645 Target Price £22,767 Target PCP £254* MPG 58.9 CO2 99g/km For Great fun to drive; remarkable blend of performance and economy; big, clever boot. Against Rear space is adequate rather than outstanding; visibility could be better. WHAT CAR? SAYS FOUR LITTLE WORDS. That’s all that’s needed to tell you the extent to which we’ve been dazzled by Ford’s new small SUV contender. So what are they? Here we go: Car. Of. The. Year. The What Car? Car of the Year Award is the most coveted prize in motoring. Not only is the Puma our 2020 champ despite being up against an incredibly strong field of contenders, but the decision wasn’t even difficult. That speaks volumes. From the first moment, the Puma is a joy to drive, being super-nimble for a small SUV, while the ideally weighted steering gives you a real sense of connection with the front wheels. These are things you’ll appreciate no matter how quickly or slowly you’re driving, and just as impressively, the Puma’s agility doesn’t come at the expense of a comfortable ride. The engines deserve praise, too. Coming in 124bhp and 153bhp guises, the 1.0-litre turbo
Suzuki Ignis
petrol units provide strong urge from low revs but thrive even more on being revved harder. Fitted with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, they deliver incredible efficiency, helping to keep ownership costs down – as do the Puma’s keen pricing and strong resale values. And although rear seat space is only so-so, the Puma is also surprisingly practical, thanks to a big boot with a height-adjustable floor, and a huge recess underneath that lets you carry two sets of golf clubs vertically. It’s also well equipped, strong on safety and decent on quality, plus it has an excellent driving position. The Puma may be the new cat in town, but it’s already top dog.
Our pick 1.2 Dualjet SHVS 2WD SZ5 List price £15,759 Target Price £14,532 Target PCP £181 MPG 54.1 CO2 98g/km For Real-world economy is excellent; spacious and practical; lots of standard kit. Against Unsettled ride; noisy on the motorway; there are only four seats. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Volkswagen T-Roc Our pick 1.0 TSI 115 Design List price £23,005 Target Price £21,676 Target PCP £207 MPG 45.3 CO2 123g/km For Good ride and handling balance; well equipped; long safety kit roster. Against Interior feels cheap and the rear seat arrangement could be more flexible. WHAT CAR? SAYS

Our pick D180 S List price £39,015 Target Price £37,286 Target PCP £363 MPG 41.3 CO2 145g/km For High-quality interior; comfortable ride; quiet cruising manners; superb resale values. Against So-so fuel economy and emissions; Land Rover’s reliability record. WHAT CAR? SAYS IF WE HAD reservations about the original Range Rover Evoque, we have no such qualms about the latest one. Pretty much all of the
gaps in the previous model’s armoury have now been plugged, to the extent that it’s now the best family SUV on sale. With a design that stays faithful to the original, but with flourishes taken from other glamorous Range Rovers such as the Velar, the Evoque looks better than ever. So does the interior, which is a match for anything else in the class, with gorgeous materials and an impressive standard of fit and finish. The dashboard design is clean and elegant, while the driving position is one of the best in the
business. The Evoque is roomier than most of its rivals, too, and the rear seats fold in a 40/20/40 arrangement for a little bit of extra versatility. On the road, the Evoque provides a good mix of abilities, delivering a quiet, comfortable ride along with assured handling and accurate steering. And when you venture off road, it’ll leave all its rivals for dust. Perhaps best of all, though, the Evoque makes plenty of financial sense, thanks to the class-leading resale values that more than offset the car’s relatively high prices.

Against The engine and suspension are a bit noisy; less fun to drive than an Ateca. WHAT CAR? SAYS DESPITE FACING TOUGH competition from the Nissan Qashqai, Peugeot 3008 and Seat Ateca, among many others, at the affordable
end of the family SUV class, the Skoda Karoq still reigns supreme. Practicality is its main trump card, with loads of space for both people and luggage, and our recommended SE L trim comes with rear seats that slide, recline and fold individually or can be removed altogether. The interior is also robust and packed with equipment, while prices and running costs are really competitive. What’s more, class-leading ride comfort and composed handling make it enjoyable to drive.

Against Optional panoramic roof harms rear head room and infotainment is fiddly. WHAT CAR? SAYS SO,YOU WANT your large seven-seat SUV to be as practical as it possibly can be, but you also want a level of desirability, quality and image that makes it a real cut above the rest. You need to fork out for a prestige badge, right? Well, not necessarily. The Peugeot 5008 will cost you roughly
half as much as an Audi Q7 or a Volvo XC90, yet it offers many of the same virtues: sevenseat practicality, versatile seating (thanks to three middle-row seats that slide, recline and fold individually), a lofty driving position, a sophisticated driving experience and firstrate safety credentials. What’s more, the big Peugeot’s sharp, individual design – evident as much inside the car as it is outside – combines with exemplary interior quality to give this car a level of wow factor that goes way beyond its price tag. Compare the 5008 with direct rivals such as the Seat Tarraco and Nissan X-Trail, meanwhile, and it simply blows them away.

Mazda CX-5 It may not have seven seats, but the CX-5 is loaded with kit and great to drive Our pick Skyactiv-G SE-L Nav+ List price £26,400 Target Price £25,028 Target PCP £244** MPG 38.2 CO2 146g/km For Classy interior; well equipped even in this entry-level trim; class-leading handling. Against The petrol engine feels weedy at lower revs and the ride is firm. WHAT CAR? SAYS THE UK’S CURRENT political landscape might suggest otherwise, but it’s often a wise move to occupy the middle ground. And that’s why we’re such fans of the Mazda CX-5. You see, it’s bigger than popular family SUVs such as the Nissan Qashqai and Seat Ateca, suiting buyers who need a shade more practicality, but for those who don’t need seven seats (of which there are plenty), it’s cheaper than the Peugeot 5008 and Skoda Kodiaq with which it directly competes on size. As such, it provides you with a lot of car for your money, especially in petrol form, and that’s always a very appealing prospect. The CX-5 isn’t all about value for money, though. A classy interior and a user-friendly infotainment system with a rotary controller between the front seats are also big plus points, as is the generous list of luxury and safety equipment that comes as standard on every example. Although our recommended 2.0-litre petrol engine is a little short on low-rev oomph (because, unlike most of its rivals, it doesn’t have a turbocharger), there’s enough performance to make easy, relaxing progress. And while the CX-5 isn’t as smooth-riding as the likes of the 5008, it is more engaging to drive than any of its rivals, with crisp handling, sharp steering and a satisfying gearshift.
Skoda Kodiaq Our pick 1.5 TSI 150 SE 7 seat List price £27,125 Target Price £23,616 Target PCP £247 MPG 37.2 CO2 147g/km For Well priced, with a classy and spacious interior and good driving manners.

brilliant at anything he turned his hand to? Well, the Audi Q7 is the SUV equivalent, sitting on or very near the top of the luxury SUV pile in almost every quantifable area. Take the interior.

it still manages to feel remarkably compact and agile in a set of bends. The swot of the luxury SUV class doesn’t have an unblemished school report, though. The automatic gearbox tends to hesitate when pulling away from junctions, while the recent switch from an intuitive dialcontrolled infotainment system to a fiddlier touchscreen arrangement is a backward step. As touchscreens go, however, it’s still a decent example of the genre and delivers an impressively wide range of functionality.

SAYS WHILE MOST SPORTS SUVs wear superaggressive bodykits, the X3 M40i is more of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
At a glance, it’s easy to mistake it for one of the big-selling diesel variants. But under the bonnet, it actually has a peach of a turbocharged six-cylinder petrol engine that howls its way to the redline and gets you from 0-62mph in less than five seconds. The engine also settles right down when you’re not trying to compress your groceries into an amorphous blob, and body control is more saloon car than sailing boat. Just bear in mind that the M40i’s ride is rather unsettled, due to firm suspension.

THEY SAY YOU can’t argue with the laws of physics, but Volkswagen has done exactly that with the T-Roc R, because it’s closely related to the Golf R hot hatch, has a higher centre of gravity and yet is somehow more fun. The T-Roc R is also more agile than similarpriced rivals such as the Audi SQ2 and Cupra Ateca, with quicker-reacting steering that offers
greater precision. And you can really feel the four-wheel drive system sending more power to the rear when exiting corners to help prevent the nose from running wide.

A rare blend of zero-emissions capability and seven seats Our pick T8 Inscription List price £67,055 Target Price £61,413 Target PCP £539 MPG 122.8 CO2 52g/km For Very quick and quiet, with a good electric-only range and versatile seats. Against Touchscreen is tricky to use on the move; not that economical on long runs. WHAT CAR? SAYS IT’S ALWAYS NICE to have a party piece – a little something you can do that none of your peers can. That’s what makes the Volvo XC90 T8 really stand out among its rivals. You see, there are plenty of big SUVs that
offer seven seats for ultimate family car practicality, and several that are available with a plug-in hybrid system for an impressive mix of performance, efficiency and everyday usability. However, only the XC90 provides both at the same time, including an electric-only range of close to 30 miles – plenty for most people’s commuting or school run needs. That alone makes the T8 an incredibly enticing prospect. Those seven cleverly designed seats are surrounded by generous space, along with plush, high-grade materials that give the whole interior a real impression of class.
The touchscreen infotainment system isn’t as user-friendly as those in some rivals, but you get a massive amount of equipment as standard, with Inscription trim adding all the luxuries that most buyers would ever want. As you’d expect in a Volvo, safety equipment is generous as well. Although the ride can be a bit unsettled at low speeds, the T8 drives in a very civilised manner, too.

FIRST LOOK
Seat Leon
Family hatchback grows in size and sophistication and is available with the option of plug-in hybrid power for the first time On sale May Price from £20,000 (est) Darren Moss Darren.Moss@haymarket.com IN THE SAME way that Antonio Banderas grew from being a relative unknown from Spanish show business to mixing it with the best in Hollywood, the Seat Leon has steadily risen to be considered among the top tier of the family hatchback class. As with a prime Spanish bull, much of the Leon’s appeal comes from its lineage, because underneath it’s closely related to the Volkswagen Golf and Skoda’s Octavia and Scala – models that are no strangers to our Car of the Year Awards trophies. What has helped the Leon’s appeal over the years, too, is that it brings a dose of flair through its expressive design and emphasis on sporty handling. And while both of those elements carry through to this latest, fourth-generation
30 March 2020
whatcar.com
Leon, they’re joined by increases in practicality, connectivity and choice of power. In short, this is Seat’s most advanced new car yet. The new Leon is significantly longer than the previous version and has more space between its front and rear axles. It’s also marginally narrower and has a lower roofline, but don’t think that means there’s less space in the boot. In fact, it’s the same as before, at 380 litres – identical to the Golf’s and more than the rival Ford Focus or Vauxhall Astra offers. In the Leon ST estate, the available boot space has grown by enough to fit in an extra shopping bag. Inside, the Leon has many of the latest Golf’s frivolities, including a 10.25in screen that replaces the instrument cluster and can show the sat-nav map right in front of you, plus a separate infotainment touchscreen, which measures up to 10.0in depending on the car’s specification. However, we haven’t been overly
impressed with the Golf’s similar set-up, which prioritises flashy graphics over usability, so Seat has its work cut out here to win us over. For the first time, buyers will be able to choose a plug-in hybrid or mild hybrid Leon alongside conventional petrol or diesel engines. Kicking off the petrol line-up is a new 108bhp 1.0-litre engine, above which sits a pair of 1.5-litre units with 128bhp or 148bhp. Both the 1.0-litre engine and the 148bhp 1.5 can be had with mild hybrid technology, which gives the engine small amounts of electrical assistance, lowering your fuel bills a little. For drivers seeking more performance, a 187bhp 2.0-litre petrol is also available. If you’ll be covering enough miles to justify a diesel engine, there’s a choice of 113bhp and 148bhp 2.0-litre units. The plug-in hybrid variant of the Leon mates a 1.4-litre petrol engine with an electric motor

Latest Leon retains its predecessor’s visual flair and is available in six trims. Car pictured here is a sporty FR model to produce a combined 201bhp, and it can travel for up to 38 miles on electric power alone. Gearbox options across the range include a six-speed manual and six or sevenspeed automatics. There will be no fully electric version of the Leon, because that space will be filled by Seat’s El-Born electric hatchback, which is due to go on sale later this year. Hot hatchback fans can look forward to the arrival of a Cupra-badged Leon. It’s expected

The latest Leon also features the Golf’s Car2X connected technology, so it can tell you about upcoming hazards or when the traffic lights are about to turn red. It’s always connected to the internet, too, so it can show you the latest fuel prices and real-time traffic information.

SE Dynamic adds a digital instrument cluster and parking sensors, while FR gets you a sporty body kit, three-zone air conditioning and wireless charging for your mobile phone. For those seeking more kit, FR Sport comes with heated front seats and 18in alloys, and range-topping Xcellence and Xcellence Lux cars get extra styling touches such as bespoke bumpers and chrome-framed side windows. The new Leon is expected to be one of the safest cars on the road. Its suite of assistance technologies includes adaptive cruise control, which adjusts your speed to suit the road layout – slowing for roundabouts and corners, for example – plus traffic sign recognition and automatic emergency braking. A price hike to around £20,000 is on the cards for the new Leon, making it more expensive than the Astra and Scala but cheaper than the Focus and Golf. Discounts could make the Leon significantly cheaper in time, though, given that savings of up to £5042 are possible on the current Leon if you buy through What Car? New Car Buying. If you opt for a PCP finance deal, expect to pay comfortably less than £200 per month on a four-year term. whatcar.com

Honda E Eagerly anticipated electric city car promises to be brilliant for short hops. But can it justify its relatively high price? On sale June Price from £29,660 Doug Revolta Doug.Revolta@haymarket.com
LET’S START WITH the good news for the Honda E city car, the brand’s first batteryelectric vehicle: not only are the retro looks a breath of fresh air, but they’re backed up by a driving experience that’s similarly inspiring. The E is available with a choice of two power outputs from its rear-mounted motor – 134bhp in the standard version and 152bhp in the higher-spec Advance – and both versions are quicker than their chief rivals, the Renault Zoe and Seat Mii Electric. We’ve driven only the Advance so far, but the official performance difference between the two E models is quite small: only 0.7sec in the dash from 0-62mph. Off the line, the E is very responsive, especially in Sport mode, with performance that’s ideal for town driving, although it tails off at motorway speeds. A push of a button enables one-pedal driving, whereby lifting off the accelerator can bring the car to a complete stop as if you’re braking, helping to recharge the battery in the process. The E is more enjoyable to drive than its rivals, too. The steering offers a far greater sense of connection to the front wheels than

It isn’t hampered by a lot of body lean through corners, either; its movements are always well controlled. The Zoe feels sloppy in comparison. The fact that the E is rear-wheel drive – like the bigger BMW i3 – doesn’t make it a

There are only four seats, but two adults should be relatively comfortable in the back for the short journeys this car will mainly be making. There’s more space for occupants than in the Mii and as much as in the Zoe. However, the boot is minuscule – much smaller than the Zoe’s and smaller, even, than the diddy Mii’s.

Claire Evans Claire.Evans@haymarket.com DEVELOPED IN CONJUNCTION with Toyota Gazoo Racing (hence the ‘GR’ initials) and Tommi Makinen Racing, the GR Yaris is Toyota’s hot hatch rival to the likes of the Ford Fiesta ST and Honda Civic Type R. Closely related to Toyota’s contender in the 2020 World Rally Championship, it’s the brand’s third GR model, following on from the GRMN version of the previous Yaris and the GR Supra sports car. Power comes from a new 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine that produces 257bhp – more than twice the output of the most powerful regular Yaris, the 1.5 VVT-i, and enough to propel the car from 0-62mph in 5.5sec, outpacing the Fiesta ST by a clear second. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard, while the GR Yaris gets new suspension and a sophisticated four-wheel drive system. The latter has three modes; Normal splits drive 60/40 between the front and rear wheels, Sport shifts the majority of the power to the rear wheels, and Track distributes it equally between the front and rear wheels. The power split in all modes is automatically adjusted in response to the way the car is being driven and the road conditions. The development team has focused on three areas to enhance performance: aerodynamics, weight and weight distribution. As a result, the GR has a lower roofline, the engine is positioned closer to the centre of the car and the battery has been relocated to the boot. Unlike the regular five-door Yaris, the GR is offered in three-door form only and its body is made of lightweight materials, including carbonfibre, while its bonnet, doors and tailgate are aluminium. A wider front grille and beefier rear wheel arches help the hot Yaris to stand out. Although the GR Yaris is similar in size to the Fiesta ST, Toyota believes it’s closer to the Civic Type R for performance, and it could cost close to £30,000, making it around £10,000 pricier than the Ford.

THE MINI ELECTRIC is a bit like a Georgian-style country house that has just been built. No, not because it’s made from bricks and shaped like a box, but because it takes the appealing aesthetics of yesteryear and fills them with thoroughly modern internals. Yep, that’s right: the Mini may have its roots in 1959, but this one has the heart of a Generation Z eco warrior. As you’ve doubtless worked out already, this is indeed a Mini than runs purely on electricity. It’s the first of its kind that you’ll be able to walk into a dealership and buy, and if you do that, you might be surprised to find you’ll be spending less than you would on the Mini’s closest rivals: the Honda E and Renault Zoe. But the Mini Electric isn’t necessarily quite the bargain it first seems. You see, to keep costs down, its battery pack is quite small by today’s standards – smaller than the E’s and way, way smaller than the Zoe’s. And it’s for this reason that the official range between charges is a mediocre 140-145 miles (it varies slightly depending on which alloy wheels you choose). Admittedly, that’s still slightly farther than the Japanese car promises, but the French alternative’s range is around 240 miles. RIVALS

Renault Clio E-Tech Small hatchback gets hybrid power for the first time, joining a new plug-in hybrid version of the Captur small SUV On sale June Price from £18,500 (est) Darren Moss Darren.Moss@haymarket.com THE RENAULT CLIO is undoubtedly a stylish option if you’re looking for a small car, but buyers haven’t been able to marry those catwalk looks with the low running costs of a hybrid – until now. The Clio E-Tech is powered by a combination of a 1.6-litre petrol engine and a small electric motor, with the two producing a total of 138bhp. It can be driven in fully electric mode for short distances at the push of a button, at speeds of up to 38mph. Renault claims that up to 80% of a typical city journey can be done on electric power alone – the same figure touted by the rival Toyota Yaris Hybrid. The Clio E-Tech should also save you money compared with regular petrol and diesel Clios, promising a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 40%, although official figures haven’t been released yet. To differentiate it from other Clios, the E-Tech has a different rear bumper with E-Tech badging, as well as an optional paint pack. Inside, the Clio’s 7.0in digital instrument cluster features new graphics to show you how the electric motor is being used, or when the system is harvesting energy normally lost during braking and feeding it back into the battery. The Clio isn’t the only Renault to have received the hybrid treatment, because a plug-in hybrid version of the Captur has also been revealed. The Captur E-Tech can officially run on electric power alone for up to 30 miles. If you’re in need of a sudden burst of speed, the Captur E-Tech’s two electric motors and 1.6-litre petrol engine can deploy all of their power together for short bursts – useful when overtaking, for example. Official combined fuel economy is 188mpg, with a CO2 output of 34g/km. Prices for both cars have yet to be announced, but the Clio E-Tech is expected to start at around £18,500 and the Captur E-Tech from £22,000.

STRANGE, ISN’T IT? Not so long ago, you could guarantee the fastest version of any car would also be the thirstiest and dirtiest. That doesn’t apply to the Vauxhall Grandland X, though. Despite having a turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine, a big chunk of the range-topping Hybrid4’s 296bhp maximum power figure is produced by a pair of electric motors.

UK doubles EV charger fund Government backs EVs with £10m for charging points THE DEPARTMENT FOR Transport (DfT) will double the money available to install electric vehicle (EV) chargers on residential streets from next year in a bid to encourage more urban drivers to go electric. The £10 million pledged by the Government will provide an extra 3600 charge points across the UK, making it easier for drivers without off-street parking to charge near their homes overnight. The new funding allowance follows the allocation of £2.5 million for EV chargers in residential areas in August 2019 and a previous £2.5 million pledge made in 2017. The DfT will also start work on creating a real-time public charger information service to allow drivers to see the nearest charge points, whether those charge points are working and available for use, how much they cost and how quickly they will charge a car. The system could be integrated into sat-nav and route-mapping apps already used for smartphones and cars. Transport secretary Grant Shapps said: “We want to make electric cars the new normal, and ensuring drivers have convenient places to charge is key to that. By doubling funding again for charge points on streets where people live and opening up data, we are helping drivers

easily locate and use affordable, reliable charge points, whether at home or on the road.” According to the Government’s figures, it has already supported the installation of more than 17,000 devices, providing more than 24,000 publicly available charge points (of which more than 2400 are rapid charge points), as part of its ‘Road to Zero’ strategy. This latest investment is seen as a response to comments by vehicle manufacturers that more needs to be done to increase the uptake of electric vehicles. Close to 38,000 purely electric vehicles were sold in 2019 – a 144% increase on 2018’s figures. However, such cars still represent just 1.6% of the total market. Sales of plug-in hybrids fell by more than 17% last year, with blame levelled partly at the Government’s removal of the grant available for such cars. Transport minister George Freeman has claimed that the only way the Government can meet its goal of stopping sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2040 is through investment in infrastructure and the promotion of EVs. Freeman said: “We need to think about a balance between following where the uptake [of electric cars] is and reassuring tomorrow’s purchasers that we’re building for them.”
Golf: second in the best-seller charts, top choice for grey
Buyers of new cars prefer 50 shades of grey MORE BRITISH BUYERS chose grey as the colour for their new car than any other hue last year. That’s according to official figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. Black was the next most popular choice, followed by white, blue and red. In total, more than 521,000 of the new cars sold were painted grey. That’s more than one in five of all new cars. Grey was also the UK’s favourite choice in 2018, having usurped black and white, which had alternated as the most common colour choice since 2009. The new car most likely to be painted grey was the Volkswagen Golf family hatchback, which ended 2019 as the UK’s second most popular new car behind the Ford Fiesta small hatchback, with close to 60,000 models sold. The most common choice of colour among Fiesta buyers last year was blue.
MORE THAN 40% of all new vans on sale do not come with an alarm as standard, according to an exclusive investigation by What Car? Vans. The findings follow research highlighting that more than 43,000 vans have been stolen since 2016, with a further 117,000 broken into, costing drivers and businesses more than £61.9 million in lost tools and other items. Analysis of all new vans on sale found that just 58% of models come with a factoryfitted alarm as standard. Another 36.5% were found to offer a factory-fitted alarm as an optional extra, while 5.5% of new vans on sale today are not
available with an alarm at all – although these tend to be older model iterations that are soon to be replaced. Other security features, such as remote central locking, were better represented, with more than 90% of vehicles featuring the tech as standard. Deadlocks – a locking mechanism that doesn’t use a spring, making it harder to pick – are standard in more than 80% of vans on sale. The lack of alarm technology helps to explain the scale of van thefts in the UK. The number of vans stolen across the UK since 2016 equates to more than 30 vans a day, with London being the hardest-hit area.

A new solar-powered electric car will be built in the same factory that once made Saab cars, in Sweden. The Sono Sion can be charged conventionally using a cable, but its solar panels can also add enough charge to cover around 19 miles per day. A 161bhp electric motor powers the car, which is limited to a top speed of 87mph. The Sion has a WLTP-certified range of 158 miles. Sonos Motors says it has received more than 13,000 pre-orders for the new model.

This version of Seat’s seven-seat people carrier combines a powerful but relatively frugal 2.0-litre diesel engine with an automatic gearbox and plenty of kit.

Reader Test Team Peugeot 2008 New small SUV features a stylish, high-tech interior and the option of electric power Max Adams Max.Adams@haymarket.com
PEUGEOT HAS BEEN on a roll for a few years now, especially when it comes to SUVs; the 3008 and seven-seat 5008 have been hoovering up both What Car? awards and sales ever since they arrived back in 2017. With this all-new 2008, the French firm is hoping to continue this trend. That’s why the small SUV has the same striking styling as its siblings, a high-tech interior – with a large infotainment touchscreen and a digital instrument display – and plush materials to appeal to the sort of buyers who’d usually go for something like an Audi Q2. However, it isn’t just design and tech that make the 2008 stand out in this closely fought class, because it comes not only with a range of turbocharged petrol or diesel engines but also in electric form (badged the e-2008), with an official range of up to 193 miles. So, can the new 2008 pull off the same trick as Peugeot’s other SUVs? We invited a group of readers to see one of the first examples in the country to get their thoughts.

well. I’m not so sure about the ‘piano’ keys, though; all the icons face upwards, so they’re hard to see at a glance. And the touchsensitive icons behind them won’t be very easy to use while driving. “I’m surprised to hear that you can get only front-wheel drive on the 2008, because SUVs and four-wheel drive go hand in hand for me. It’s also odd that you can’t have an automatic gearbox with the diesel engine. “At 6ft tall, I found getting in and out of the back seats a bit difficult with the front seats pushed right back. And with the adjustable boot floor in its lowest possible setting, the space available is fairly generous. When you lift the floor up to make it level with the opening, it looks a little on the small side. “One of the reasons I go for Volkswagen and Audi is good resale values, so I’d have to see what they’re like for the 2008. However, I’d definitely consider a 2008 – and I didn’t think I’d be saying that at the start of today.”

Age 55 Job Procurement manager Drives Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon “Given the mileage and type of driving I do – mostly on the motorway – diesel is still the most cost-effective and efficient choice for me. “Electric doesn’t appeal to me, because I would need to have a charging point installed at home, and that only works if you have your own parking space. There are some lamp-post charging points where I live, but they’re limited at the moment. “The interior looks and feels really good. It’s visually appealing and nice to touch.
There are some smart styling features, such as the continuation of the trim from the top of the doors into the dashboard. It has been really well thought out. “I’m not sure how well the black plastic trim will last for. It might look beautiful now, but with fingerprint marks and scratches from keys, rings or watches, it might look less beautiful in the future. “I would say the 2008 is more practical than my current small estate. Also, I have a dog, and he can’t easily get into the Alfa’s boot, due to its lip. The 2008 doesn’t have this obstruction, and it’s a nice, square shape.”

Age 67 Job Retired Drives Toyota Yaris Hybrid “I’m an older Peugeot person; I had the 504 and 505 in the ’70s and ’80s, and the squarer front end of this new 2008 reminds me of those cars. I also like that you can sit in the 2008 and still see the bonnet’s corners, because it doesn’t dip away from you, as in some of its curvier rivals. “I think the 18in wheels that come with GT trim are too big. I’d prefer the 16in ones on the entrylevel model; they should provide a better ride and fuel economy. “Having driven a hybrid Toyota Yaris, I wouldn’t buy a pure
combustion-engined car again. I wanted to go electric, but I couldn’t find a model within our budget that had a decent range. “Peugeot might have missed a trick with the e-2008, because it would have been nice to have a storage space under the bonnet to store the charge cables. You’d have to lift stuff out of the boot to get at the cables if you hide them under the false floor. “I like the fact that there are extra rubber seals at the bottom of the doors to stop the sills from getting muddy. I think the sills might be a bit too wide, though; that could be a problem if you have mobility issues.” Trousers stay clean, thanks to extra door seals, but the sills are a bit wide for Russell

REVEALED: THE TRUE COST OF GOING ELECTRIC One of the main advantages of electrified cars is greatly reduced running costs, right? As such cars become more common, we find out if that’s still the case
Claire Evans Claire.Evans@haymarket.com
THIS COULD BE the year in which electrified cars really take off in the UK. No fewer than 23 new fully electric models are due to go on sale in the next 12 months, along with a host of plug-in hybrid versions of popular models. Although sales of electric vehicles (EVs) were still relatively modest last year, accounting for just 1.6% of all new car sales, that’s 144% more than were registered in 2018. If you factor in all types of hybrids as well, electrified vehicles accounted for more than 200,000 sales. That’s one in every 10 cars sold last year. Sales are predicted to shoot up over the next few years, too. One in five new cars sold will be electrified by 2026, Bloomberg predicts. This boom is partly due to car makers introducing low-emissions models in a bid not to fall foul of the European Union (EU)

regulations that came into force on 1 January. Huge fines will be imposed if the average CO2 output of the cars they sell exceeds 95g/km. The UK has its own EU emissions targets to meet, too, so the Government is promoting greener forms of transport. One of the measures that Westminster is employing to help the country meet these targets is to provide local councils with grants to help them improve the EV infrastructure by installing public charging points. As a result, the UK’s public EV charging infrastructure is really ramping up. There are currently more than 10,600 charging sites around the UK, providing connections for nearly 30,000 vehicles, according to Zap Map. Growth during 2019 helped charging sites exceed the number of petrol stations in the UK by more than 2000; there are 8394 petrol stations, although those collectively contain some 60,000 fuel pumps.
265,000 electrified vehicles are on UK roads at present, but most of them are plug-in hybrids; just 3.3% (4900) are fully electric cars Cost of charging
The recently upgraded Ioniq Electric has a WLTP official range of 184 miles
More than 80% of EV charging is done by owners at home, because it’s more convenient and affordable. If you can take advantage of a cheap night-time energy tariff, you should pay only around seven pence per kilowatt hour (kWh) for the electricity. Recharging an EV with a modest-sized battery, such as a Hyundai Ioniq Electric, from 10-80% at home can therefore cost as little as £1.88, while the same top-up for an Audi E-tron, which has a much bigger battery, costs just £4.66. However, around 40% of the UK’s 25 million homes don’t have a driveway or other off-street space in which to charge an EV, so they’ll have to resort to other solutions. If you can’t charge your car at work, you’ll need to use public chargers. Although there are still a lot of slow (3kW) public chargers that are free to use, you’ll have to pay if you want a quick energy fix. And this is where the costs can rack up if you don’t research the various networks in advance. Use an Ionity high-power charging unit to get an ultra-rapid 10-80% charge for an E-tron (which can accept a rate of up to 150kW) and it will cost an eye-watering £45.89. That’s almost 10 times as expensive as home charging. In fact, using the Ionity charger takes away one of the big advantages of EVs: that they’re usually cheaper to run than their conventionally powered counterparts. Based on What Car?’s True MPG fuel economy figures, a diesel Audi Q7 50 TDI averages 27.2mpg, and that means it costs 22 pence per mile to drive. When exclusively using Ionity chargers, the similar-sized E-tron costs 34 pence per mile. Why is Ionity so expensive? Until recently, this network charged a flat rate of just £8 per charge, no matter how much electricity your car took, but it changed to a kWh-based fee at the end of January ahead of ambitious expansion plans. At present, it’s the only ultrarapid charging network in the UK, though. Although 43kW and 50kW ‘rapid’ chargers aren’t as fast, some other networks levy a big premium for them, too. The same E-tron charge at a Polar rapid charger costs £26.60, due to whatcar.com

The latest innovations We examine some new solutions that are improving both the speed of charging at public locations and the public’s ability to top up on the street
Faster charging The Ionity network is the result of a joint venture between BMW, Daimler (which owns Mercedes-Benz and Smart), Ford and the Volkswagen Group and aims to create an ultra-rapid charging network across Europe. Its chargers can replenish batteries at 350kW, a rate so fast that no EV can accept it yet. When they catch up, they’ll be able to get a boost from 10-80% in 20 minutes, though. So far, Ionity has 202 charging stations live around Europe, and it expects to increase this to 400 by the end of the year. There are only three sites in the UK at present, but it plans to have 40 by the end of this year. Ionity chargers cost 69p per kWh to use, but Audi has just launched an EV charging service to make them more affordable for E-tron owners. The charging service’s Transit tariff costs £16.95 a month and gives access to 18 charging networks, including Ionity, at a reduced rate of 28p per kWh. Tesla has also started to beef up its Superchargers to V3 units, more than doubling their maximum charging speed to 250kW. Only one location has been upgraded so far, but others will follow. These allow a Model 3 to get 75 miles’ worth of charge in five minutes. Shell has started to introduce 150kW rapid chargers, too.
Lamp-post charging German company Ubitricity has recently launched in the UK, where it’s concentrating on smart charging solutions that take up less space than conventional public chargers. It’s working with local councils to install 5.5kW chargers into lamp-posts on urban streets. To use these, EV owners have to buy the firm’s smart charging cable at a cost of £149. It contains a meter to measure the amount of electricity being used and communication technology to share this information with the user’s electricity supplier. So far, it has installed 2000 lamp-post chargers, most of them in Greater London. It aims to install 7500 by the end of the year. Pop-up chargers British start-up company Urban Electric Networks is currently running a pilot test of six on-street chargers in Oxford that pop up out of the pavement when someone wants to use one to charge their car. It says the prototype offers a convenient charging solution for the 50% of residents who park their cars on the street at night. It intends to install two more hubs, each with nine chargers, in the next year in Dundee and Plymouth, prior to putting the units into commercial production in 2021.
a price of 40p per kWh. Ecotricity and Shell Recharge’s rapid chargers cost 39p per kWh, so they aren’t much cheaper, at £25.94. However, customers who also have a home energy account with Ecotricity pay less than half of this amount, because they get a cheaper rate. Without this discount, every public charger capable of 43kW or more is more expensive than Tesla’s Superchargers, which demand a fee of around 24p per kWh for a 120kW charge. Although the overall cost of charging an electric car with a smaller battery is lower, it’s still up to five times more costly than night-time home charging. Indeed, a 10-80% charge for an Ioniq Electric costs £10.46 at an Ecotricity or Shell Recharge station. Although that doesn’t make driving an Ioniq Electric as expensive as a conventionally powered car, it certainly brings the cost close. Charging an Ioniq Electric at the above rates equates to a cost per mile of 10p, which isn’t far off the True MPG cost per mile for a petrolengined rival such as the Skoda Scala 1.0 TSI 115. Some providers keep down the cost of rapid charging, though, so it’s worth seeking these out. Rates vary at Charge Your Car points, but we found a 43kWh unit with a 25p per minute fee, which meant our Ioniq Electric top-up cost just £5.59. The company charges a £20 fee if you want an access card, but the chargers can be accessed without this via a smartphone app. Slower chargers are generally cheaper, and regular users can benefit from a lower kWh rate if they sign up to a scheme with a monthly fee. The Full plan from Source London costs £4 per month and 4p per kWh thereafter, equating to just 97p for a 10-80% top-up in the Ioniq’s case.
Hidden costs You might have to pay for parking while you charge your car on the street, so it’s worth checking out the cost of this up front, too. Car park fees can also significantly increase the cost of charging. Some charger-equipped car parks in central London cost up to £9 per hour yet don’t offer EV drivers any discount, while many hotels and restaurants state that only paying customers can use the chargers in their car parks. Another thing to watch out for is overstay fees. These have been introduced by providers to solve the problem of people leaving their EV in a charging bay after its charging session has finished. We found a Genie Point charger in south-east London with a £10 overstay fee after 65 minutes, while the Tesla Supercharger at the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent has an idle fee of 35p per minute if a car is left there once it has been charged to 100%, doubling to 70p per minute if all the charging points are taken.
Some local councils have begun installing slow EV chargers into lamp-posts

ALL CHANGE FOR COMPANY CAR DRIVERS Benefit-in-kind tax rates are about to be given a shake-up, with big savings on offer if you choose an electrified model but higher costs for many others. We’ve got all the details Claire Evans Claire.Evans@haymarket.com
RUNNING A LOW or zero-emissions car is about to become significantly more desirable for company car drivers for the next three years at least, due to changes in the benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax system. Conversely, higher-emissions cars are likely to become costlier to run. From 6 April, for the 2020-2021 financial year, new tax bands for company cars are being introduced that heavily favour those that produce little to no CO2. And from the same date, BIK rates will be based on new, higher CO2 figures returned in the latest WLTP test procedure, rather than the less realistic NEDC figures that have been used until now. The BIK rate for new cars that don’t produce any CO2 – so, all fully electric cars – will drop drastically from the current 16% to zero. On an electric Renault Zoe small hatchback, for example, that equates to a £1023 saving in BIK tax for someone in the 20% tax bracket and £2046 for a 40% taxpayer. The 2020-2021 rates for new plug-in hybrids with emissions ranging from 1-50g/km will come down to 3-12% from the current 16%, depending on their CO2 output and electriconly driving range. For example, a BMW 330e with a CO2 output of 32g/km (WLTP) and a 35mile electric range will qualify for a rate of 10%, equating to a saving of £479 if you’re in the 20% tax bracket, or £958 for a 40% taxpayer. In theory, plug-in hybrids can qualify for the 0% rate too, if they have an electric-only range of more than 130 miles. However, none is close to achieving that yet. The 0% rate for 2020-2021 will also apply to

HOW TO WORK OUT YOUR COMPANY CAR TAX RATE
Company car tax is based on a percentage of a car’s P11D price; that’s the car’s list price including VAT and delivery charges but not the first registration fee or road tax. Under the 2020-2021 banding system, a Ford Puma 1.0 Ecoboost 155 mHEV ST-Line X with WLTP emissions of 126g/km and a P11D price of £23,440 would have a BIK tax rate of 28% of that value: £6563. How much of this you pay depends on your salary. If you’re a lower-rate taxpayer, earning £12,501 to £50,000 per year, you’ll pay 20% of this amount: £1313. If you’re a 40% taxpayer, earning £50,001 to £150,000 per year, you’ll pay £2625. COMPANY CAR TAX BANDS: BEFORE AND AFTER

‘The BIK rate for new cars that emit no CO2 will drop drastically from 16% to zero’ zero-emissions cars registered before 6 April. It will rise at the same rate as for new cars in the following two years. Cars in the 1-50g/km emissions bracket registered before 6 April will also enjoy a reduction in BIK tax, from 16% to between 2% and 14%, again depending on their pure electric driving range. For the 2021-2022 financial year, the rate for zero-emissions cars will rise to 1%, then to 2% the following year. The rates for cars with emissions of 1-50g/km will remain the same for the next three years. The 4% surcharge on diesels – introduced in 2018 amid growing concern over the particulates and NOx they emit – still applies for the coming year. The supplement is for diesels that don’t meet the latest Real Driving Emissions (RDE2) standards, although diesel plug-in hybrids are exempt, because they’re classed as alternative-fuel vehicles. Although the new tax bands for higheremissions cars are between 1% and 6% lower than current levels (apart from the highest polluters in the top, 37% bracket), any reductions will be more than offset in many cases by the fact that the rates after 6 April will be based on the higher CO2 figures produced in the latest WLTP test procedure, which has been giving more realistic fuel economy figures since it was introduced in September 2018. As a result, the official CO2 figures for more than half of all new cars are expected to rise by 10% to 20%, even though the cars’ emissions won’t actually be any different from their current levels. The knock-on effect of this is that they will move up a number of tax bands – one or two in the case of some hybrids but several in many other cases – compared with current levels, so the rates will go up. For example, the Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI, which emitted 103g/km under the old test procedure, will have a CO2 figure of 135g/km from 6 April. This means its BIK rate will rise from 28% to 34% (including the surcharge), so it will cost a lower-rate taxpayer £345 per year more. whatcar.com

How to spec your BMW 3 Series 2
The BMW 3 Series is a fantastic executive saloon, being comfortable, spacious and, particularly in our recommended 330e plug-in hybrid form, frugal. Go for M Sport trim, the favourite among British buyers, and you’ll have most of your equipment needs covered, including heated leather seats, sat-nav and smartphone mirroring. Here, though, is our guide to adding even more luxury without breaking the bank.

If you’ll be using your car for regular trips with the family as well as for commuting, the £190 extended storage pack makes a lot of sense. This provides extra storage space for your odds and ends, as well as a pair of USB ports on the rear of the centre console – ideal for charging mobile devices.

We think it’s a little stingy that the top-end version of the 3 Series doesn’t offer adjustable lumbar support, but at least it doesn’t cost a lot to add, at £265 for both the driver and front passengers. Buttons on the side of the seat adjust the support given to your back, helping to make longer journeys more comfortable.
M Sport versions of the 3 Series look fantastic, but they have a firm ride. To alleviate this, opt for adaptive suspension, which means you can stiffen or soften the ride at the touch of a button. This is available only as part of the £2200 M Sport Plus Pack, which also brings larger (19in) wheels and upgraded brakes.
If you’ll be charging the 330e at motorway service stations or other places away from home, the £237 three-phase Type 2 charging cable is worth adding. This ensures your car will charge at the highest available rate, reducing waiting times. As standard, your car will come with only a charger for a three-pin socket.
5
The only way to get electrically adjustable seats in your 330e is to opt for the £1700 Premium Pack. Unfortunately, this also adds a panoramic roof that limits head room, so we’d suggest saving your money – especially if you’ve already decided on the adjustable lumbar support that we recommend.

MIND THE GAP Nine out of 10 new car buyers are paying too much if they take out GAP insurance, which covers the full cost of replacing the car after an accident or theft. We take a closer look Claire Evans Claire.Evans@haymarket.com
IF YOUR CAR is stolen or written off, your insurance will pay out only its current market value, not the amount you paid for it. When you consider that the average car has lost around 40% of its value by the time it’s a year old and 60% once it’s aged three, it’s clear to see that you could end up seriously out of pocket. That’s where guaranteed asset protection (GAP) comes in. It’s an additional form of insurance that runs alongside your standard policy, covering the difference between the amount your main insurer will pay out and either what you paid for the car or the amount you’ll need for a comparable replacement. It also covers the cost of any outstanding finance payments for which you may be liable after your car has been declared a total loss. Our research reveals that in every instance, the GAP cover sold by franchised dealers costs far more than that offered by independent insurers. In two instances, the price is more than three times higher, and all four policies
we’ve examined cost more than twice as much when bought from a franchised dealer. Two of the most popular GAP products are ‘back to invoice’, which covers the difference between your insurance payout and the car’s purchase price if it’s declared a total loss, and ‘vehicle replacement’, which provides enough for an equivalent new car even if its price has gone up since you bought your previous one. Given that ‘back to invoice’ is the most widely purchased type of GAP insurance, we looked at 36-month quotes for this on four highly rated new cars in order to compare the prices charged by franchised dealers and online providers. We chose only policies that would also cover any early settlement fees payable to a finance company that aren’t covered by the insurance payout. The biggest difference was for a Range Rover Evoque; Lancaster Land Rover in Slough wanted £499 for three-year cover, whereas the same deal from GAP Insurance was just £175. Our other dealer quotes were from Stephen James BMW of Bromley, Bristol Street Motors Ford in Bromley and Citygate Skoda, Slough.

Key facts about GAP insurance If your new car is written off within its first year, many GAP insurers will replace it with a brand new one, so check the small print before buying. And don’t leave it too long if you decide you want GAP cover, because many policies can be bought only before a car is a year old – although the start date can be deferred for a year. To ensure a GAP policy suits your requirements, check the
GAP insurance can be purchased for used cars as well as new ones, but it’s less useful for those that are more than three years old, because cars tend to lose value more slowly at this age. Common restrictions on GAP insurance policies include very short claim periods and the requirement for the GAP insurer to give consent before you can accept a payout offer from your main insurance policy.
What’s being done to prevent car buyers from paying too much?
Back in 2015, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) – the UK’s independent financial regulatory body – made a number of changes to the way that GAP insurance could be sold by franchised dealerships. This was because it had concerns that dealers were selling overpriced products without clearly explaining them and not giving customers enough time to compare prices from alternative suppliers. As a result, dealers now have to wait for at least two days after selling you a car to offer you GAP insurance. They must also tell you the total price, duration, key features, benefits and unusual exclusions and limitations of the policy. And they must state that GAP insurance is optional and can be bought elsewhere. Follow-up research by the FCA in 2018 showed the changes have had an effect on quite a few new car buyers, with a 23% reduction in the number of policies sold and a marginal reduction in the proportion sold by dealers. However, dealers’ prices haven’t noticeably reduced. Plus, GAP insurance is still bought by around 26% of new car buyers, with 91% of those buying through dealerships, rather than directly from independent suppliers. And according to the FCA, more than half of GAP insurance fees go to the dealer as profit.
SAYS
It’s clear that more needs to be done to prevent new car buyers from paying over the odds for GAP insurance. But in the meantime, vote with your feet: don’t buy a policy from a franchised dealer without first checking prices for comparable cover from a range of independent suppliers. And if you do decide to buy, read the terms and conditions fully to check that there aren’t any nasty restrictions. whatcar.com

How to spec a MercedesBenz B-Class
Rejection of serially faulty Jaguar refused I bought a Jaguar F-Pace 3.0-litre diesel four months ago on a four-year PCP finance plan. It has been back to the dealer seven times for various problems, including a faulty exhaust valve, the sunroof not shutting properly and the main screen for the media system going blank. A software update was applied to rectify the last issue, but the media system has been temperamental since then and sometimes crashes for a few minutes. On another occasion, the car wouldn’t start while it was parked at my workplace and had to have another software update to fix it. I rely on my car on a daily basis for work and personal use, and I’ve now lost three days’ work due to breakdowns, resulting in a loss of wages and a warning from my boss. I need something that won’t continually let me down, so I told my Jaguar dealer I want to reject the car because it isn’t fit for purpose. The dealer didn’t give me any information about how to do this, so I contacted the finance company. It did an investigation and told me I didn’t have the right to reject the car. I feel like I’m being fobbed off by the dealer and the finance company, so I’d appreciate your advice on how to reject the car. I’m concerned that this might be more difficult once I’ve owned the car for six months. Marcus Lister
WHAT CAR? SAYS… In order to reject a new or used car, it needs to meet one or more of the following criteria from the Consumer Rights Act 2015: not be of satisfactory quality, not be fit for purpose or not be as described. It sounds like it satisfies
62 March 2020
whatcar.com
the first two criteria due to the high volume of faults your car has suffered and the time that it has taken to get them rectified. We’d recommend that you notify the finance company, the dealership and Jaguar’s customer service department in writing that you’re rejecting the car, stating the reasons why. Then, if the car is driveable, take it back to the dealer and leave it there, handing over the keys. After the first 30 days of ownership, the car company can charge a reasonable amount for your use of the car. This will be deducted from the total amount to be refunded, so you won’t get a full refund. The law doesn’t include any provision for the cost of alternative transport for you while your rejection is going through. Hopefully, taking this action will result in your rejection of the car being taken seriously. However, the company might not accept the rejection, especially if the car isn’t currently faulty. In this case, you might need to take out a claim in the county court to get your refund. We’d also recommend you make a complaint to The Motor Ombudsman, detailing the case and that the car company isn’t respecting your right to reject the car, which it should do in accordance with the code of conduct to which it’s signed up regarding customer service.
‘The car has been back to the dealer seven times for various problems’
I’ve always driven high-spec versions of models from fairly mainstream brands, including Ford, Peugeot and Skoda. Now that I’m retired, my annual mileage is low, so I choose turbo petrol-engined models, and for my next car I’d like either a petrol or a hybrid. I’m thinking of splashing out on a MercedesBenz B-Class, potentially as my last car. The B180 turbo petrol seems like the most suitable version for me, because Mercedes doesn’t appear to offer a hybrid option, but which trim level is best? Comfort and safety are key considerations for me, and I’d like sat-nav. Also, you don’t rate the B-Class as a Best Buy, so would I be better off with one of those, such as the Volkswagen Touran, instead? Peter Halicki
WHAT CAR? SAYS… The B-Class is a good five-seat MPV, gaining four stars in our tests. It isn’t a Best Buy because it’s not as practical as our top choice for £25,00-£30,000, the Touran (see p106), which is roomier inside and has seven seats. It’s also good to drive and has strong safety credentials, so we’d recommend that you check out the Touran before you make a decision. However, if you do decide to go for a B-Class, our favourite conventionally powered model is the B180, and we’d recommend mid-range Sport Executive trim. Standard kit on the B-Class includes climate control, sat-nav and a suite of active safety systems, including automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance and driver fatigue monitoring. Sport Executive adds some desirable extras, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Mercedes has also recently announced a plug-in hybrid version of the B-Class, the B250e, which is powered by the same 1.3-litre petrol engine as the B180 and an electric motor. This might be a better option for you if you mostly do short trips, because it can cover around 35 miles on electricity alone. Prices are expected to start at around £33,800, though.
Plug-in hybrid SUV wanted for towing I’m looking to buy a plug-in hybrid SUV and recently test drove the Audi Q5 TFSIe. It’s a very nice car, but I’ve been told that it can’t be fitted with a tow bar. Surely many SUV buyers have a lifestyle that involves the need to tow boats, trailers or caravans, so it seems crazy to design SUVs that can’t do this. Are there other plug-in hybrid SUVs that can tow? Andrew Leonard
WHAT CAR? SAYS… Certain hybrid and conventionally powered SUVs aren’t suitable for towing for a number of reasons. Some brands say their hybrids are too heavy, due to their batteries, and the extra weight of a trailer would put too much strain on their components and affect their electric-only range. Other models, such as the now-discontinued DS 5 Hybrid, use one of the tow bar fixing points to mount an AdBlue fuel additive tank. However, there are some plug-in hybrid SUVs that can tow. These include the Range Rover Sport P400e; it can tow a braked trailer weighing up to 2500kg, which covers some of the heaviest caravans or horseboxes. It’s such an accomplished tow
car that it was named Hybrid Tow Car of the Year in our most recent Tow Car Awards. Meanwhile, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is capable of towing up to 1500kg, but we found it to be only average for stability and control in our towing tests. The Audi Q7 and BMW X5 are also both good options. The Q7 60 TFSIe marries a 3.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor; it can travel for up to 25 miles on electric-only power GO FIGURE and tow up to 2800kg. Thanks to an electricThe X5 xDrive45e only range of 25 miles, the Range Rover Sport has an impressive P400e hybrid recorded electric-only range of 86.9mpg in the official combined fuel 54 miles and can tow up economy test. to 2700kg. It’s important to note that the fuel economy and electric-only range of any plug-in hybrid will suffer significantly when you’re towing.

Why is my new car’s fuel economy so poor? I’ve been driving for 60 years and am an HGV driver who abides by all speed limits. I recently bought a 2019 Volvo XC60 T5 with four-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. I’m concerned there’s something wrong with it, because it has extremely high fuel consumption. When it’s driven on a mix of roads, it achieves only around
24mpg, and when I’m driving around town, it does only 14-16mpg. I believe the car should do around 39mpg on a long run, but it got only 28mpg on a 50-mile drive from the West Midlands to the Cotswolds. I’ve had the car checked over by my local Volvo dealer; its staff drove for 20 miles and achieved 32mpg. Before I decide to get rid of the car, could you tell me if this fuel economy is normal or if it should do better? Brian Dabbs
WHAT CAR? SAYS… Unfortunately, the combination of a fairly large petrol engine and automatic gearbox with four-wheel drive in a heavy SUV will result in a
big thirst for fuel. Your car’s official average fuel economy is 39mpg, but you’re likely to get far less than this in real-world driving. We haven’t put the XC60 T5 through our True MPG test, but we have tested the smaller XC40 T4, and that managed only 27mpg, while the D4 diesel version of the XC60 achieved a more respectable 37mpg. That means your economy figures sound about right. It’s worth bearing in mind that onboard trip computers aren’t always very accurate. The best way to find out your car’s fuel economy is to brim the tank and note down the mileage each time you put in fuel, so that you can calculate exactly how much the engine is using.

IT WOULD HAVE seemed like something that belonged in science fiction just a few years ago, but we’ve now reached the point where you shouldn’t just be looking at petrol and diesel models when choosing your next car, but those that use electric power, too.

PERFORMANCE Weather conditions Mixed
0-60mph 9.1sec
DRIVING Performance, ride, handling, refinement
Thanks to the near-instant punch of its electric motor and the fact that there are no gearchanges to punctuate the acceleration, the ZS is the quickest of our trio by a fair margin. This is the case whether you’re pulling away from a standstill or looking to pick up speed on the move. The only downside is that it’s quite easy to spin the front wheels in the wet when attempting to exit a busy junction quickly. As for our petrol contenders, these represent two surprisingly different ways to skin a cat. The CX-30 has the bigger engine, but the Karoq is alone in being turbocharged, so it actually produces more power and torque. True, there isn’t much between them over the benchmark 0-60mph sprint, but ask the CX-30 to pull from low revs in a high gear and it takes much longer to pick up speed, so you end up having to stir its gearlever more often. Thankfully, the CX-30 has a delightfully tactile manual ’box that makes swapping cogs a pleasure. The Karoq’s is also fine, being light and easy to use, but it’s ultimately less satisfying. Compensation comes in the form of steering that responds more crisply than the CX-30’s; that means it’s easier to place the Karoq exactly where you want it, whether you’re in town or scything through a series of corners on a country road. In the CX-30, it feels like the first few degrees of steering wheel movement don’t actually do anything. And while the ZS’s steering is pleasant enough around town, it doesn’t weight up enough at higher speeds and feels rather vague. You’re also aware of the ZS’s hefty battery when cornering, something that isn’t helped by the car’s relatively soft suspension. It’s the least agile of our trio and suffers from the most body lean, although there are at least no nasty handling vices and it grips reasonably well. The Karoq also leans a bit, but it has the most grip and this is spread evenly front to rear, so while it isn’t exactly a laugh a minute, it’s tidy and secure. By contrast, the CX-30 runs out of grip at the front a bit too early for

Mazda CX-30 vs MG ZS EV vs Skoda Karoq
‘The CX-30 is the quietest of our contenders, by a fair margin’
our liking; that’s a shame, because up to that point it feels the most composed through corners. This composure is thanks to firm suspension, but the downside is that the CX-30 has the least comfortable ride. It picks up on even minor surface imperfections and deals with rolling country roads in the most abrupt fashion. The ZS is much more relaxing most of the time, although sudden dips and bumps can cause it to pitch and wallow unpleasantly. So, it’s the Karoq that strikes the best balance between bump absorption and control. What’s less impressive is the Karoq’s refinement, because it has the loudest engine and suffers the most from road noise at high speeds. With no engine noise, the ZS is a bit quieter than the Karoq overall, although you do hear some whining from the electric motor and plenty of wind whistle. That leaves the CX-30 as the quietest, and by a big margin. As for braking, it’s tricky to compare distances, because it was raining on and off during our day at the test track. What we can say is that the CX-30 and Karoq pulled up with little drama, whereas the ZS nose-dived heavily, causing a definite increase in heart rate. BEHIND THE WHEEL Driving position, visibility, build quality
‘The ZS is noisier than you might expect, suffering the most wind noise’
‘The Karoq has the loudest engine and lets in too much road noise’
One of the reasons for choosing an SUV is to sit nice and high, right? Well, if you’re nodding vigorously, we’d point you towards the Karoq, because it’s the only one that truly feels as high-rise as you’d expect. It’s not that you’ll mistake the ZS for a hatchback from behind the wheel, but you’ll be looking up at most other family SUVs. One exception is the CX-30, in which you sit barely any farther from the ground than you do in a saloon, although some might like the cosy feel created by its high dashboard and window line. Sadly, the fact that the CX-30 is vertically challenged, combined with a small rear screen, means it’s the hardest to see out of, while the Karoq is best. However, all three cars get a rear-view camera and rear parking sensors to help you manoeuvre. Only the ZS does without bright LED headlights; its dim halogen bulbs do a poor job of illuminating the road ahead. If you can look past the CX-30’s visibility issues, there’s an awful lot to like about its interior. It features plenty of soft, dense plastics and convincing metal-effect trim, while the upper dashboard and door panels are covered in leatherette. whatcar.com

COMPARISON All of the controls feel nice and substantial, too. Not that the Karoq’s interior is bad. Sure, you’ll find more hard, scratchy plastics, but there’s still a smorgasbord of squishy stuff, plus an overall feeling of solidity. Meanwhile, the ZS also feels decent, but its switches, stalks and buttons are the least substantial and it has the most hard plastics. Despite being the only car here with electric seat adjustment, the ZS’s driving position won’t suit everyone. There’s no adjustable lumbar support, and the steering wheel moves up and down but not in and out. Both the CX-30 and Karoq have reach and height adjustment for their steering wheels, but you’ll need to jump up a trim level to get adjustable lumbar support in the former, whereas the latter has it as standard. Fortunately, this doesn’t make the CX-30 significantly less comfortable on a long drive, so which is better really comes down to whether you like to sit quite upright, as you do in the Karoq, or prefer the more legs stretched-out seating position of the CX-30. Where the Karoq’s seat is undoubtedly better is in holding you tightly in place through corners. However, the CX-30’s is still superior to the ZS’s, which could do with more side support. To make matters worse, it’s covered in slippery (if reasonably convincing) fake leather, rather than the grippier faux suede of the Karoq or the cloth of the CX-30. The ZS and Karoq come with conventional analogue instrument dials, separated by a small digital information screen. The CX-30’s dials are part-digital, with the speedo and some of the gauges displayed on a larger central screen. The only car that’s available with fully digital instruments is the Karoq; these cost £465 and can be customised to show specific information on a larger scale. The CX-30 counters by having a standard head-up display that projects key information directly onto the windscreen, so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road to check how fast you’re going or see the next sat-nav instruction.

Up front, all of the cars offer enough space to keep most drivers happy. Six-footers will find they have plenty of leg room, although if you’re exceptionally tall, the Karoq is your best bet, because it has the most head room. Rear seat passengers are also best served by the capacious

All CX-30s get an 8.8in screen that’s solely controlled by a rotary dial between the seats. It’s less distracting to use than a touchscreen, helped by the screen being mounted very high on the dash, so you don’t have to take your eyes too far from the road. The display is bright, clear and easy to read, with attractive graphics. Sat-nav is standard on all trims, with the Lux version of SE-L adding a CD player. You’ll have to jump up a couple of trims to get a better stereo, though. WHAT YOU GET Mazda CX-30 SE-L Lux

INFOTAINMENT At 8.0in, the ZS’s screen is a decent size, but the resolution isn’t great and it’s sluggish to respond to inputs. Often you’ll go to press an icon a second time because it takes so long to react. Still, the system has plenty of features, including sat-nav, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a DAB radio. The menus are clear and easy to follow, too, so finding what you want is easy enough. No stereo upgrade is available; that’s a shame, because the standard one sounds a bit weedy.

Karoq. You sit high, looking out of large windows and with by far the most head room. Knee room is the best of the bunch and all three occupants get a comfortable seat. By contrast, a central rear passenger will definitely feel like they’ve drawn the short straw in the ZS and CX-30. Despite having a standard panoramic glass roof that eats into head room, the ZS’s reasonable knee room and big windows make it more welcoming for rear seat passengers than the rather claustrophobic CX-30. And the CX-30 doesn’t just feel the tightest; its roof curves close to the side of your head, plus the front seatbacks sit closest to your shins and small door apertures make it tricky to climb in and out or install a child seat. A fixed rear bench with a 60/40 split-folding backrest is standard in both the CX-30 and the ZS. But in SE L trim, the Karoq trumps them with three individual seats that can be slid backwards and forwards, reclined, folded flat or removed altogether. The Karoq also monsters its rivals for boot space, swallowing nine carry-on suitcases below its load cover even when its rear seats are slid all the way back. That’s three more than the CX-30 can manage and four more than the ZS. As a bonus, the Karoq’s boot features handy bag hooks, cubbies and a removable torch. However, both the Karoq and CX-30 do without a heightadjustable boot floor, whereas the ZS gets one as standard to help with loading heavy items. As for in-car storage, the CX-30 is best, with a deep cubby under the armrest, two large cupholders and a handy tray for the contents of your pockets. The ZS runs it USED ALTERNATIVE 2019 Volvo XC40 For similar money to any of the three cars here, you could put a lightly used, premiumbadged Volvo XC40 on your driveway. Our 2018 overall Car of the Year is still one of our favourite family SUVs, thanks to its classy, spacious interior and mature driving manners. You can get a smooth 1.5-litre petrol-engined T3 model, in well-specced Momentum trim, with a low mileage.
The Karoq’s system scores for having large, easy-to-hit icons and menus that are simple to navigate. There’s virtually no delay after pressing the 8.0in touchscreen, making this system much less frustrating than the ZS’s. The screen looks better, too, thanks to modern graphics and a high resolution. We like the shortcut buttons at the sides as well, but you have to take your eyes quite far from the road to hit them. This is the only car here with the option of an upgraded stereo.

BUYING AND OWNING Costs, equipment, reliability, safety and security
At first glance, the ZS looks like an expensive option, with by far the highest list price. Thankfully, once you’ve factored in the Government’s £3500 electric vehicle grant and a £2500 discount from MG (at least at the time of writing), it’s only around £1200 more to buy outright than the Karoq and CX-30. The CX-30 is cheapest of all, and it also costs the least if you’re buying on PCP finance. On a threeyear deal with a £2400 deposit and a limit of 10,000 miles per year, it will set you back £302 per month – £24 less than the Karoq. The ZS is quite a bit pricier at £390 per month, but it’s the only one of our contenders that’s exempt from annual road tax. In addition, you’ll spend around three times more on petrol for the CX-30 and Karoq than you will in electricity for the ZS – at least if you’re able to charge at home instead of having to rely on public chargers. And yet, despite all this, the ZS costs only about £1000 less than the CX-30 to run over three years, because it’s predicted to suffer the heaviest depreciation and has the highest servicing and insurance costs. The Karoq is priciest to run, but only by £700 when compared with the CX-30. On the other hand, if you’re a company car driver, the ZS is by far the cheapest option for benefitin-kind tax. It’s around £6800 less than the CX-30 over three years, with the Karoq a further £1000 adrift. The only trouble might be convincing your fleet manager, PRACTICALITY AIDS

because it’s the priciest to lease by a hefty margin. But let’s address the pachyderm in the room: range. Although changeable weather prevented us from carrying out our scientific Real Range test, we conducted a 100-mile test from a full charge on a mixture of roads and were left with an indicated 17 miles in the battery. That’s some way behind the similar-priced Renault Zoe R135 hatchback, but you can top up the ZS on a CCS rapid charger from 0-80% in just 40 minutes. From a 7kW wallbox, it takes 6hr 30min to charge fully. All of our contenders come equipped with keyless entry and start, cruise control (adaptive on the ZS and CX-30) and heated front seats. However, the ZS has plain old air conditioning, whereas the Karoq and CX-30 have dual-zone climate control, and you can’t have an electric tailgate on the ZS – a handy feature that’s standard on the CX-30 and a £510 option on the Karoq. Every car here gets automatic emergency braking, but with the Karoq you have to pay £930 for blindspot monitoring, lanekeeping assistance and rear crosstraffic alert, which helps you to reverse safely. All of these features are standard on the ZS and CX-30. Should they not do the trick, the CX-30 is safest in an impact, earning Euro NCAP’s maximum five-star safety rating, with some particularly impressive scores in the individual areas assessed. The ZS and Karoq scored five stars, too, but chest protection isn’t as good for children in the back of the Karoq or for adults in the rear of the ZS. When it comes to reliability, the Karoq finished towards the bottom of the family SUV class in our latest survey; that’s particularly disappointing given that Skoda as a brand was ninth out of 31. We don’t have any data on MG, nor the ZS and CX-30 models, but Mazda finished mid-table. The Karoq comes with a bogstandard three-year/60,000mile warranty, although this can be extended to five years and 100,000 miles for a fee. It’s a similar story with the CX-30, while the ZS offers a stonking sevenyear/80,000-mile warranty.

Mazda CX-30 vs MG ZS EV vs Skoda Karoq
SAYS Once again, the Karoq has come out on top in a family SUV tussle. It may be the priciest of our trio to run, but competitive monthly PCP costs make that easier to swallow. What’s more, it’s good to drive and has the roomiest and most practical interior, while the boot is simply vast. A comfortable ride and excellent visibility seal the win. Both its rivals feel some way behind, but for very different reasons. The CX-30 has a firm ride and is too cramped in the back, while its tiny back doors make loading child seats a pain. However, you’ll love its plush interior, which is crammed full of kit. Plus, it has the best infotainment system and safety is exceptional, so it does enough for second. That leaves the ZS in last place. We love its punchy performance and the fuel savings it brings, but it isn’t great to drive, while its eye-widening braking behaviour and so-so range disappoint. Even if you look past the way it drives, the boot is relatively small and the interior feels a little lowrent in this company.

Pocket essentials Kia’s Picanto is a do-it-all city car and our Value Car of the Year. Can the new Hyundai i10 usurp it to become our essential pocket-sized urbanite?

WATCHES. THEY COME in all shapes and sizes, and to every taste and budget, but the fact is this: if you spend a gazillion quid on a Breitling or a Rolex, it’ll tell exactly the same time as that fella over there’s Swatch, which cost the same as a round of fish ’n’ chips. It’s the same with cars. Yes, a luxurious limousine will massage your backside as you squeeze through urban traffic, but when it comes to getting you from the suburbs to the centre, a city car will do the job just as ably. The biggest difference is that because a city car is a darned sight dinkier, you’ll have a less stressful time finding a parking space. At this moment in time, the Kia Picanto is the pick of the bunch and our current Value Car of the Year. That’s because, like a Swatch, it’s reliable, comes in a multitude of colours and, above all, represents great value for money. Unlike a Swatch, it also handles tidily and can carry up to five people and some luggage. Time waits for no man (or car), though, and we have a challenger: the latest Hyundai i10. It shares much of its underpinnings with the Picanto, yet Hyundai claims it is a more upmarket proposition, citing comfort and space as just two of the reasons why you should choose one over its rivals. To find out if that’s true, we’re testing both cars in high-end trims and with similarly powerful fourcylinder petrol engines. whatcar.com

COMPARISON DRIVING Performance, ride, handling, refinement
Imagine a double espresso. It’s about 50ml, and that’s how much bigger the Picanto’s engine is over the i10’s. Doesn’t sound like much, does it? But it makes a heap of difference when it comes to performance. Compared with the i10, the Picanto feels doubleespresso-shot peppy when you rev it hard through each of its five manual gears (the i10 also has a five-speed gearbox) and it pulls far more effectively when you put your foot down at low revs. That’s not only useful for nipping around town but it also makes all the difference when trying to compete in the fast lane of a motorway. The the i10 is usable in those scenarios, too, but you’re working its engine and gearbox harder, which makes it more taxing to drive. Speaking of taxing, you need to concentrate on your clutch technique in the i10, because its engine feels frustratingly lethargic when you’re pulling away. This leads to some heart-in-mouth moments when you think it’s about to stall, and thereafter you also have to contend with a few flat spots in its power delivery as you accelerate up to speed. The Picanto’s engine isn’t as mercurial, but it is slightly noisier as you pick up the pace. By the time you hit motorway speeds, noise is a significant plight of Picanto ownership. At 70mph, the extra engine drone is palpable and wind and road noise also exceed the levels of its relatively peaceful rival. Each car’s gearbox is a joy to use, although the i10’s is a smidge slicker and its brakes aren’t quite as aggressively sharp in traffic. On which subject, if you’re braking hard from 70mph in the wet, we found the Picanto takes a staggering 12 metres longer to stop. That could be the difference between getting home with sweaty palms or filling out insurance forms with a sense of shame. Why such a difference? It’s because the Picanto’s Nexen tyres don’t generate as much grip as the i10’s Michelins in the wet, but that doesn’t detract from the car’s overall cornering balance, which is more playful than the i10’s. Both cars are stable and predictable and tighten their line if you lift off the accelerator slightly to prevent the nose from running wide, but the Picanto is more agile. It’s more stable over extreme undulations and leans less in tight bends, too. Still, the i10’s extra grip is certainly confidence-inspiring and, by a whisker, the weight and feel of its steering is sweeter

HYUNDAI I10
INFOTAINMENT The i10’s bigger, 8.0in screen runs similar software to the Picanto’s. It’s fathomable and pretty responsive. Having physical buttons for volume and switching menus is helpful for operating while driving, too. You get smartphone mirroring, a DAB radio and Bluetooth. An optional Tech Pack (£1000) adds in-built sat-nav and wireless charging. The stereo has only four speakers but still sounds decent.

You still get physical shortcut buttons, the menus are structured logically and it’s responsive to commands. It’s well equipped, too, coming with smartphone mirroring, a DAB radio and Bluetooth. It also beats the i10 by having in-built sat-nav and the stereo has six speakers.

for country roads. They both work brilliantly in town, feeling light and nimble, and ultra-tight turning circles make them very easy cars in which to do U-turns. Because it’s a little softer, the i10 feels impressively supple for such a small car and is more forgiving than its rival. It pads gently over the kind of bumps that would have knocked your teeth out in city cars of old, and at higher speeds it settles into a relatively relaxed stride that allows the miles to roll by. The Picanto isn’t bad by wider class standards, but it kicks you harder over potholes and jiggles you about more on motorways.
The Picanto has similar front head and leg room to the i10. Rear space is reasonable, but leg room is much more at a premium. Each car easily fits three cases in the boot and has 60/40 folding rear seats Boot 255-1010 litres Suitcases 3
‘The Kia is far from harsh but kicks harder over potholes and fidgets more at speed’
The seating positions are very similar in both, because the commonality beneath their skins means the fundamentals – such as the alignment of the driver’s seat, pedals and steering wheel – are near enough the same. Neither has a reach-adjustable steering wheel (many cars in this price point don’t), but you can move the wheel and driver’s seat up and down in both, and by enough to allow most to get comfortable. The main difference is in their seats’ design. The i10’s is softer, with a steeper-angled squab that gives better thigh support on longer trips. The Picanto’s is firmer, with better shoulder support, and is superior at keeping you in place around corners. Which is better is a matter of personal preference. The similarities extend to front visibility, which is top drawer in both, but the i10’s more aggressively swept-up rear window line provides a little more cause for concentration when reversing into parking spaces. Thankfully, each car has a reversing camera, although the Picanto adds rear parking sensors for some audible assistance as well. The cars also come with daytime running lights (LED on the i10) and front foglights, but by today’s standards, their halogen headlights are a little dim on dark and drizzly nights. Where our contenders differ most inside is on quality, yet even here, the gap isn’t vast. Both feel well screwed together but, as so often at this end of the market, all the plastics are hard and unforgiving and it’s Hyundai that has made more effort to break up the bleakness. This top-spec Premium i10’s gloss black surfaces, contrasting colours and other details, such as the greater tactility of its leather-clad steering wheel, add a smidge more panache. whatcar.com

Obviously, these aren’t the biggest cars in the world, but you’d hope each would fit a six-footer, right? Well, don the spandex and cheer away, because they do, and not only ‘just’. One of our testers is 6ft 3in tall and had no issues with front leg or head room, although the Picanto has a fraction more of the latter. The i10’s wider interior gives those with, let’s say, a more prosperous frame greater room to breathe, though. Although it’s pretty evenstevens at the front, the i10 is the clear choice if you’re travelling in the back. For a start, it’s easier to get in and out through its bigger rear door apertures. And once inside, our 6ft-plus tester could fit behind a driver of identical height. Now, there wouldn’t be much leg or head room going spare in that scenario, but the i10 is still impressive for the class. Not that the Picanto is particularly pokey in the rear. Its head room is similar to the i10’s, but if you’re on the tall side, your knees will be clamped firmly in place by the seat in front. When it comes to seating three side by side, neither car is great for adults. They each provide a multitude of cavities and crevices for your accoutrements, though. Take their front door bins, which will hold a 500ml bottle, or the generoussized gloveboxes as proof. There are also a couple of cupholders in each, and trays of various sizes. However, the i10 just gets the nod, because although the Picanto has a map pocket on the back of its front passenger seat, the i10 has small rear door bins (which are absent in the Picanto) and a long tray above its glovebox – an ideal place for a fold-up umbrella. It’s nip and tuck again for luggage space. The Picanto’s boot is a centimetre or two deeper, whereas the i10’s is longer, and both will swallow something up to a metre in width. Consequently, they can hold the same number of carry-on suitcases: three, with some room to spare. Both cars also come with 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks, and if you drop these to fit something bulky inside, they lie usefully flat. Doing this leaves a large step down to the floor, though, and neither car has a height-adjustable boot floor to mitigate this. Lifting bulky items in and out is less back-breaking in the i10, because its tailgate lip sits 45mm closer to the ground than the Picanto’s, plus the drop to its boot floor is 5cm shorter.
The i10 is more expensive for cash buyers. This is exacerbated at the moment because, unlike the already cheaper Picanto, there aren’t any big discounts on what’s still a freshly minted car. Hyundai dealers’ resolve is likely to weaken at some point, though. Still, the i10’s predicted depreciation (over three years) isn’t as bad, which is great news if you intend to pay monthly. On a PCP finance deal, the i10, at £217 per month, is just £6 more than the Picanto (assuming a 36-month term, £1500 deposit and a limit of 10,000 miles per year). When it comes to leasing, the i10 is £1 cheaper, at £180 per month. Insuring the i10 is more expensive, but you should make that back in fuel savings. We managed a test figure of 42.9mpg, versus the Picanto’s 39.8mpg. The i10’s extra efficiency also means much lower CO2 emissions and, consequently, a lower company car tax band. However, you’ll still pay a few pounds more per month in benefit-in-kind tax for the i10, due to its higher list price. The trade-off is that you get more kit with the i10. Although the Picanto alone has climate control (the i10 makes do with manual air conditioning) and both have four electric windows, electric door mirrors, automatic headlights, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gearlever and alloy wheels (16in for the i10, 15in for the Picanto), the i10 goes further. It adds luxuries such as heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and privacy glass. Both cars come with automatic emergency braking, but the i10 has features that aren’t available on the Picanto, such as lane departure warning, lane-keeping assistance (to push you back within your lane if you stray), automatic main beam and a driver attention monitor. At the time of writing, Euro NCAP hadn’t appraised the new i10 for safety, although the Picanto achieved four stars overall (out of a possible five). That may not sound great, but it’s better than a Volkswagen Up or Toyota Aygo, which each achieved three stars. Kia and Hyundai did well in the 2019 What Car? Reliability Survey, ending up sixth and seventh respectively in a field of 31. Kia’s seven-year/100,000-mile warranty trumps Hyundai’s fiveyear cover, although there’s no mileage limit for the i10.

SAYS The Picanto didn’t become a multi-time What Car? Award winner by fluke and is still a compelling car. It’s a hoot to zip about in, thanks to a peppy engine and agreeable handling. Plus, it has a fine driving position and a well-equipped infotainment system that’s easy to use. However, as father time ticks by, the mother of invention knuckles down to work, and the new i10 is the fruit of her labour. It matches the Picanto’s great infotainment and driving position and betters it for ride comfort, quietness and rear seat space. Yes, its engine isn’t as strong, but you’re paid back with added frugality. Talking of cost, if you’re buying on finance, the i10 is almost as affordable yet better equipped.

Pumped for performance Can the latest Audi SQ5’s switch to the diesel pump give it the edge over our sports SUV favourite, the petrol-fuelled Porsche Macan S? Photography: John Bradshaw
THE CONTENDERS Audi SQ5 3.0 V6 TDI quattro List price £55,035 Target Price £50,924
Porsche Macan S 2.9 V6 List price £50,635 Target Price £50,635
The SQ5 returns, this time with diesel power. It’s a brave move by Audi, but is it a good one?
The sweet spot of the Porsche Macan range and our current Sports SUV of the Year.
DO YOU REMEMBER when buying a diesel SUV wasn’t just unfashionable but downright frowned upon? Well, you should, because despite what some manufacturers might like to tell us, that time hasn’t really passed. Look at recent sales figures and it’s clear that most people are still reticent about returning to the black pump. Why, then, has Audi – a manufacturer that helped give diesel such a bad name in the first
place – decided to rip the petrol engine out of its sporty SQ5 and replace it with a new V6 diesel? At least two reasons might explain this unorthodox approach. First, petrol-powered sports SUVs are thirsty beasts; when we tested the previousgeneration SQ5, it averaged just 24mpg during gentle driving. And second, Audi has been working hard to clean up its act – quite literally. The SQ5’s new engine
NEW
82 March 2020
whatcar.com
employs a number of clever features to reduce emissions, including a 48-volt mild hybrid electrical system that allows the car to coast for up to 40 seconds with the engine off when you lift off the accelerator. Our research shows that frugality is a bonus rather than the be-all and end-all for most sports SUV buyers, though. So, to see if the SQ5 is also a class leader in crucial areas such as acceleration, agility and interior quality, we’re pitting it against a rival that has come to define the class: our current Sports SUV of the Year, the petrol Porsche Macan S. DRIVING Performance, ride, handling, refinement
Although these cars drink from different fuel pumps, they’re almost inseparable when it comes to outright acceleration. With their launch control functions engaged to maximise acceleration from a
standing start, both use their fourwheel drive systems to find absurd amounts of traction, rocketing from a standstill to 60mph in less than five seconds. A few years ago, you’d have needed a serious sports car for that kind of performance. Raw numbers can tell you only so much, though. In the real world, the SQ5 and Macan deliver their performance in distinctly different ways. In the SQ5, there’s not a lot to be gained from revving the engine to the redline. Instead, it’s better to leave the automatic gearbox to its own devices and use the engine’s deep reserves of low-rev muscle to waft you down the road. It’s very effective, if not particularly thrilling. The Macan’s V6 petrol engine still pulls pretty well from low revs, but there really is an advantage to revving it out, aided by a seven-speed gearbox that fires through shifts quicker than the SQ5’s eight-speed ’box. Extracting the best from the Macan’s engine is genuinely exciting.
Audi SQ5 vs Porsche Macan S INFOTAINMENT
AUDI SQ5
The Q5 has yet to receive Audi’s new dual-screen MMI set-up, but that’s no bad thing. The old system, with its rotary controller and physical shortcut buttons, is more intuitive to use than rival touchscreen systems, Macan’s included. The 8.3in screen isn’t quite as sharp as the Porsche’s, but the menus are easier to navigate and the brilliant 12.3in Virtual Cockpit digital instrument panel is more configurable than the Macan’s smaller digital dial.

PORSCHE MACAN S
The 10.9in screen is sharp, the menus fairly easy to navigate and the system quick to respond. However, we wish some of the icons were larger, because they can be tricky to hit accurately on the move. As with the SQ5, sat-nav, digital radio, Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay are standard, but unlike in the SQ5, Android Auto is not. If you’re an audiophile, take a look at the optional Burmester or Bose sound systems, because the standard one is a bit lacklustre.

This driver-focused feel continues on demanding country roads. The Macan’s steering feels more naturally weighted than the SQ5’s, and although the Audi has more front-end grip, the Macan allows you to have more fun as you approach its limits, thanks to its more playful balance and better body control. Of course, it’s unlikely these SUVs will be cornering quite that hard on a frequent basis, which is why day-to-day comfort is also important. Here, the Macan pulls farther ahead. With both SUVs on adaptive suspension (a standard feature on the SQ5 but an £816 option on its rival), it’s the supple yet

tightly controlled Macan that feels the more pliant car, both in town and on the motorway. True, the SQ5 lets in slightly less wind noise, but it generates more road noise over coarse surfaces. And while both engines settle down nicely at a steady cruise, it’s the Macan’s that sounds sweeter and more natural when you put your foot down.

The Macan also feels sportier than the SQ5 from behind the wheel, with its higher centre console and window line creating a cocooning feel. However, it’s disappointing that you have to fork out £1044 for ‘comfort’ seats if you want adjustable lumbar support, a feature that’s standard on the SQ5. Also, the bulkhead bulges out into the Macan’s pedal area, forcing your left foot farther over to the right than is ideal. Both cars seem to shrink around you on the move, thanks to good forward visibility, but the Macan is slightly trickier to reverse, due to its smaller rear screen. Thankfully, both have front and rear parking sensors as standard, although you have to pay extra for a reversing camera. In terms of build quality, you won’t be disappointed with either car. However, the SQ5 just has the edge, thanks to its even plusher materials and rotary heater controls that operate with the kind of precision to rival a Swiss watch. SPACE AND PRACTICALITY Front space, rear space, seating flexibility, boot
The front seats in both cars can be slid back far enough to accommodate the longest of legs, and there’s loads of head room. The SQ5 has a slightly broader interior than the Macan, but it isn’t as though you’ll be fighting your front passenger for elbow room in either.
There’s a more noticeable difference in the back, with the Macan’s smaller rear side windows and lower roof making it feel a little more claustrophobic. The SQ5 has more head, knee and elbow room, so taller rear passengers can sprawl out in a more comfortable fashion. Where the SQ5 really steals the show, though, is in the flexibility of its interior. While each car comes with rear seats that split and folds 40/20/40, the SQ5’s also slide so you can prioritise rear leg room or boot space, depending on your needs. And even with the rear seats slid all the way back, you can fit nine carry-on suitcases below the SQ5’s parcel shelf, compared with eight below the Macan’s. BUYING AND OWNING Costs, equipment, reliability, safety and security
If you’re planning to sign up to a PCP finance deal, the Macan’s lower monthly costs will be very tempting. And even though you can get more than £4000 off the SQ5’s list price (whereas Porsche doesn’t offer any discounts), the Macan is slightly cheaper to buy outright. The biggest surprise, though, is that the Macan extends its advantage when you factor in all the costs of ownership, despite the SQ5 being considerably easier on fuel (32.1mpg vs 24.0mpg in our real-world tests). Sell after three years and the Macan will leave you around £2500 better off, primarily because it holds its value much better. Having said that, we would recommend investing in some safety aids if you’re buying the Macan. Although lane departure warning is standard, automatic emergency braking isn’t, and it’s available only in conjunction with adaptive cruise control (for £893). That’s hugely disappointing, given that this crucial safety feature is standard on not just the SQ5 but also most sub-£20,000 hatchbacks.

Audi’s decision to re-embrace diesel for its latest SQ5 isn’t without merit. The new engine delivers the kind of effortless performance that feels appropriate in a fast SUV. It’s also impressively efficient and pumps out surprisingly little CO2. However, the SQ5 is unlikely to tempt you to take the scenic route to work just for the fun of it – a bit of a problem in a sports SUV. The Macan, meanwhile, positively encourages you to grab the keys and head out for a drive. Five years on from its debut, Porsche’s sports SUV is still the most rewarding car in its class to drive and is the definitive blueprint for a sports SUV.

We’re finding out whether this small SUV offers genuine day-to-day advantages over a cheaper Polo hatch Alan Taylor-Jones Alan.Taylor-Jones@haymarket.com
I KNOW IT’S said that people tend to look like their dogs, but what about their cars? There’s no doubt that many see their fourwheeled friend as an extension of their personality, but I’ve taken it one step further by making my new Volkswagen T-Cross an extension of my beard. Now, I’d like to point out that the distinctive shade of orange that’s smeared over the body, wheels and interior of my car isn’t the only reason for me picking it – I’m not that vain, honest – but once I’d decided on a T-Cross, Energetic Orange metallic paint with a matching Design Pack was a total no-brainer. Other pack colours are available, but black is boring, while the blue would have clashed with my facial foliage terribly.

The real reason for me picking a T-Cross is that it’s one of the first small SUVs I’ve tried that actually feels like an SUV. To me, many of its rivals are more like lightly lifted hatchbacks that in many ways are inferior to the car on RIVALS

which they’re based. But that’s not the case with the T-Cross; an extended period in a very similar example when writing a group test a few months ago proved that it was a genuinely good car not just within its class, but full stop. For starters, you actually get a properly elevated driving position (unlike in one of its main rivals, the Skoda Kamiq), while a sizeable boot and a sliding rear bench mean it can swallow an awful lot of stuff for a car of this size. Considering that trips to garden centres and DIY stores seem to be a regular occurrence for me these days, that’s not just handy; it’s vital. Indeed, I’ve already found out that a 4ft-tall birdcage and accessories will fit in without disassembly. Given that I rack up 500 miles a week as a bare minimum, the T-Cross’s tidy handling and punchy yet frugal 113bhp turbocharged 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine are also big draws. Yes, we’d suggest to most people that the less powerful 94bhp version offers more than adequate performance, but given the amount of time I spend on the motorway, the additional punch was far too appealing to ignore, as was an additional, sixth gear for quieter cruising manners.
Seating position is higher than in most other small SUVs
‘The T-Cross is one of the first small SUVs I’ve tried that actually feels like an SUV’ For trips to unfamiliar locations, I’ve added sat-nav, and to show directions as clearly as possible, I’ve replaced the conventional analogue dials and tiny information screen with the £375 Active Info Display digital instrument cluster. This can be configured to show a wide variety of information, including the sat-nav map, right in front of you. It looks pretty swish, too. Seeing as it’s pretty chilly out, the heated front seats and washer jets of the £300 Winter Pack were a temptation I couldn’t resist. In addition, front and rear mats are always a necessity in my book. I do have an admission, though: there’s one option I didn’t add, and I’m already kicking myself for it. You see, SE-spec T-Crosses don’t get parking sensors or a rear-view camera as standard, and I neglected to add them from the options list. My excuse is that in this day and age, not having parking sensors on an otherwise well-equipped car costing nearly £20,000 feels unbelievably stingy, so I just assumed they were included. Even with that howling gaffe on my part, I’m quickly warming to my T-Cross. That little three-cylinder engine is impressively refined for the class and it certainly feels pretty nippy. The ride could be a little less lumpy around town, but on the A-roads, dual carriageways and motorways where I spend so much time, the ride is surprisingly plush for a car of this size. And should the M25 be at a standstill, the T-Cross doesn’t mind being hustled along a few tight and twisty B-roads instead. With all that in mind, the next six months should be rather pleasant.

A family Christmas break gives our electric hatchback a workout of both its range and carrying capacity Darren Moss Darren.Moss@haymarket.com Mileage 1796 List price £34,950 Target Price £33,406 Price as tested £35,605 Test range 178 miles
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE a winter break with your nearest and dearest to help you recharge after the busy festive season, and since I usually have access to something big and diesel-powered to get us wherever we’re going, I tend to be the family chauffeur. This year was no different in that respect, but the choice of car was. For the first time, we were pinning everything on my all-electric Hyundai Ioniq. In theory, this posed no problem. It’s 77 miles from my parents’ house in Kettering to our destination, Centre Parcs Elveden Forest. Although my parents don’t have an electric vehicle (EV) home charging point, an overnight top-up via a three-pin socket following my drive up from London meant the indicated range was up to 160 miles by the time we set off. All rosy, you might think, but I hadn’t accounted for the effect that the weight of two additional passengers, all of our luggage and an industrial amount of wine would have on my range. I soon noticed that my indicated range was tumbling faster than usual, and even though we arrived with 72 miles remaining, I was nervous about setting off home again. Not least because, as nice as motorway service stations are, I didn’t fancy taking my family to one as a detour to charge up again. Fortunately, Elveden Forest has two EV charging points that are free for guests to use. I simply drove my car around from the main car park, plugged in and then went to enjoy something tall and frothy at the country club. A couple of hours later, with the battery topped up, I unplugged and returned the car to its spot in the car park. And that meant we arrived back in Kettering at the end of the week with, again, about 70 miles’ range remaining – and following another night of topping up the
Ioniq’s battery in the garage, I arrived back in London with about the same again. Considering that in previous years we’ve managed to pack my Audi Q5 and Mazda CX-5 large SUVs to the rafters with all of our kit, I had been nervous that the Ioniq wouldn’t have enough space on board. With some light Tetrisstyle luggage manoeuvring from my father, though, it did. In fact, it has more space in its boot than my parents’ petrol Ford Focus. Since my mother usually covers less than 100 miles per week, she was especially taken with the Ioniq as a possible replacement for her ageing Focus. And after I’d explained the various grants that are available to help with the cost of both a car and a charging point, she was even more enthusiastic. Could we have another EV convert in the family before long?
With some juggling, a week’s worth of kit for three went in

FINAL REPORT
300 Trophy
Renault’s hot hatch has been a hoot to drive, but has it actually been good to live with? It’s verdict time
Thanks to Thruxton Motorsport Centre (thruxtonracing.co.uk)
Steve Huntingford Steve.Huntingford@haymarket.com
RENAULT HAS A long history of producing great hot hatches, but most have been at the hardcore end of the spectrum. What drew me to the latest Mégane RS is the fact it promised to be great to live with every day, not just on a track day. But did it deliver on that promise? Well, if you’re after something that could easily be mistaken for a regular family hatchback until you put your foot down, it’s probably still not for you. A Volkswagen Golf GTI, for example, is quieter at high speeds, more understated to look at and better at soaking up bumps. If, on the other hand, you want a car that’s practical and civilised enough to cope with any journey, while still always feeling sporty, and which looks special enough to catch the eye without screaming ‘boy racer’, then I’d urge you to take a Mégane RS for a test drive. I went for the Trophy edition, which benefits from a 20bhp power hike over lesser variants (taking the total up to 296bhp), along with sharper accelerator responses and a freerbreathing exhaust that provides a fruitier soundtrack. But crucially, it’s no stripped-out road racer; standard equipment includes sat-nav, a DAB radio, dual-zone climate control and cruise control. Then there’s the feature that’s perhaps most crucial of all to the character of the Mégane RS: a system Renault calls 4Control. This turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the fronts at speeds of up to 62mph, resulting in an incredibly tight turning circle (ideal for tight urban streets) and greatly improved agility when the road opens up. The eagerness with which the car dives into turns is staggering – particularly in the sort of hairpin bends that front-wheel-drive hot hatches tend to struggle with. And because the

front tyres aren’t struggling to maintain their purchase on the road, you can get back on the power that much earlier. However, 4Control also helps out on fast, sweeping bends and during motorway lane changes, because in these situations it steers the rear wheels in the same direction as the fronts, making the Mégane feel super-planted and stable. What’s less appealing on the motorway is the fact that you can always hear the engine, due to the fact that it’s revving quite hard, even in top gear. This also has an impact on fuel economy; mid-20s was all I managed on such trips. But crucially, while the ride is on the firm side, you never feel like you’re being pummelled. My two-year-old daughter was able to fall asleep in the back or catch up on her colouring whenever she wanted, and my wife preferred being a passenger in the Mégane to some of the SUVs I’ve run previously, saying their floatiness was far more likely to make her car sick than the odd thump over potholes. Add in five doors in place of the three you got on the previous Mégane RS, plus a surprisingly spacious interior if you specify the super-slim Recaro sports seats (a £1500 option), and the latest hot Renault really is a car the whole family can enjoy.

Kia Xceed
1.0 T-GDi 2
FIRST REPORT
Even the entry-level Xceed has plenty of kit; small wheels give a comfy ride
Is Kia’s new SUV-inspired family hatchback worth the extra over a regular Ceed? Let’s find out Alastair Clements Alastair.Clements@haymarket.com
WHEN THE ROVER Streetwise took a bow in 2003, it was greeted as a bit of a joke, with its faux-SUV styling consisting of roof rails, black plastic body cladding and a raised ride height to give a more imposing stance and driving position. Even those with only a passing interest could see that it was little more than a Rover 25 wearing the emperor’s new clothes. Over the ensuing years, however, it has proved to be remarkably prophetic; today, many mainstream manufacturers offer a rufty-tufty version of their family hatchbacks, and Kia is no exception. With the Xceed, however, the Korean brand needs to offer more than simply a rugged makeover if it’s to live up to its name and surpass expectations – not to mention justify the not-insignificant £1900 price hike over the equivalent standard fivedoor Ceed hatchback. Fortunately, it does. Because although it is indeed based largely on the completely conventional Ceed, you’ll find that the Xceed has a more substantial rear end. It doesn’t result in the vast 625-litre capacity of the Proceed estate, but it’s a useful 31-litre increase over the 395 litres of the standard hatchback.
It also – to my eyes, at least – results in a much better-balanced shape, with more equal overhangs at the front and rear. And the chunkier looks of the Xceed certainly seem to be going down well; my family are all keen, and shortly after I took delivery, a parking attendant was even moved to come over and tell me that mine was the best-looking car he’d seen all day! Taking the What Car? road testers’ advice, I’ve opted for the 1.0 T-GDi petrol manual model (an automatic gearbox isn’t available with this engine) in entry-level 2 trim, with the only options fitted being a £250 Advanced Driving Assistance Pack (which essentially means a front collision sensor) and ‘premium’ paint – in this case, Lunar Silver – for £570. I certainly agree that the standard specification is generous for a supposedly entry-level model (even if this is the first modern Kia I’ve driven without heated seats), but the jury is still out on the engine/gearbox combo. It suffers from clutch judder when pulling away unless you give it a bundle of revs, and the 118bhp turbocharged three-cylinder engine struggles to propel the 1332kg car with much vigour (particularly when it’s fully laden) unless you really stir the six-speed gearbox. That said, it’s fairly frugal; combining my traffic-heavy commute with a few fast motorway runs has resulted in a useful 37.3mpg average on a fresh engine. The Xceed also has much better seats than the Kia Stonic I ran a little while back, so I haven’t suffered the back pain that life with that car induced.
In fact, the entire interior is rather nicely finished and feels solidly put together, while also offering enough space for the family – albeit with limited leg room behind the driver’s seat when it’s adjusted to comfortably accept my 6ft 3in frame. While we’re talking comfort, the small (16in) alloy wheels and relatively tall tyre sidewalls that come as standard with 2 trim mean a comfortable ride, although there’s a fair amount of road noise and bump-thump from the suspension over rougher surfaces. This, along with a relatively harsh engine note at lower revs, means refinement isn’t key among the Xceed’s attributes, although it’s certainly quieter than the Stonic. Otherwise, though, there’s little to criticise, and the overall impression is of a family car that should do everything I need it to. Yet despite this, I’m so far finding it difficult to make any emotional connection with the Xceed. It will be interesting to see if our relationship develops into something stronger over the next few months.

Ford Focus ST
2.3 Ecoboost
New Focus ST promises to be even more capable than its predecessors
FIRST REPORT
Ford’s new hot Focus is bidding to earn a place in our hearts like the smaller Fiesta ST has Allan Muir Allan.Muir@haymarket.com
FORD AND HOT hatchbacks go together like cheese and pickle. Between the Fiesta ST, Focus ST and Focus RS over several generations each, the brand has earned a reputation for being a master at turning its everyday hatchbacks into outstanding driver’s cars that offer accessible performance and entertaining handling for an affordable (mostly) price. Indeed, the Fiesta ST is our current favourite hot hatch for less than £25,000. However, the Focus ST’s place in the hot hatch hierarchy is now less clear-cut than it used to be. The game changed somewhat during the course of the previous model’s life and it was overshadowed by a raft of new rivals that offered a greater bang for the buck, including the current Honda Civic Type R and Renault Mégane RS, while a newcomer in the shape of the excellent Hyundai i30 N muscled in on the Focus ST’s traditional territory. In response, this new Focus ST is a more serious piece of kit than its predecessors, featuring a different engine with more power, adaptive suspension for the first time and an electronic limited-slip differential to boost traction and enhance agility in corners. The
90 March 2020

downside is that it’s no longer the bargain it once was; this new model is available only in one high-spec trim and is priced at more than £32,000 – similar money to the Civic Type R, the current benchmark among hot hatches. That seems quite steep for a Focus ST, so I hope it’s worth the money. My car’s turbocharged 2.3-litre Ecoboost petrol engine (a 2.0-litre diesel version is available too) puts out 276bhp through the front wheels. That’s more than most versions of the current Volkswagen Golf GTI but still down on the 316bhp Civic Type R. Regardless, the 2.3 Ecoboost is a very strong, flexible engine with an evocative, warbling soundtrack, and the Focus ST certainly isn’t short on performance; in fact, its official 0-62mph time of 5.7sec pips the Civic Type R’s by 0.1sec. My car has striking Race Red paint and standard dark grey 19in alloy wheels and is fitted with a £250 Performance Pack, which adds an extra Track driving mode to the standard Slippery, Normal and Sport settings, as well as launch control and a rev-matching feature to help with gearshifts. Although an eight-speed automatic gearbox is available as an option, I’ve gone for the standard six-speed manual, figuring that my left leg could do with the extra exercise of pushing a clutch pedal in and out for a change. Besides, the precise, short-shift manual ’box is more involving, as should always be the case in a hot hatch. Standard equipment includes front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, heated windscreen and steering wheel, adaptive LED headlights, adaptive cruise control and a
premium Bang & Olufsen audio system with 10 speakers, while the infotainment system is accessed via an 8.0in touchscreen perched high up on the dashboard. The front seats are electrically adjustable, part-leather Recaros with substantial bolsters to hold me in place during hard cornering, yet they’re not so figurehugging that they’re awkward to get in and out of or become uncomfortable on long trips. The driver’s seat also drops lower than has been the case in some of Ford’s previous hot hatches, making for an excellent driving position. Initial impressions are that the Focus ST is indeed fun to drive, with quick steering and a taut, precise feel, although the ride can be rather jiggly at times, even in its most compliant setting. Being a five-door hatch, the ST is fairly practical, too. My only concern so far is that it seems rather noisy, even at low speeds, with lots of rumble and roar from the tyres. Otherwise, the Focus ST is shaping up to be a bundle of fun. I’m confident that we’re going to get along as well as the cheese and pickle filling in the sandwich I had for lunch today… LOGBOOK Ford Focus ST 2.3 Ecoboost Mileage 945 List price £32,495 Target Price £29,655 Price as tested £32,745 Options fitted Performance Pack (£250) Test economy 26.6mpg Official economy 39.8mpg (WLTP)

I must say that, from experience, the dial-controlled systems employed by BMW and Alfa Romeo are the very best, but Volkswagen Group cars currently come with the best touchscreenbased examples. I was very happy, then, with my Skoda Scala and its glass-fronted, feature-packed 8.0in touchscreen system – until I tried to use it. On my first day with the car, I tried to set my iPhone as the default connection for the Bluetooth, but this completely crashed Skoda’s software, putting it into a cycle of turning the screen blank and then saying ‘Welcome to Skoda’ two or three times before simply freezing. It also ignored many of my prods and lagged quite badly. I thought this was simply because it was the first time the car’s touchscreen had ever been
used, but once I eventually got my phone hooked up and tried to play some music, the screen would randomly go blank and the sound would shut off. Nothing could revive it – not even following the ever-sound advice of Roy from the IT Crowd. Another odd fault was that the row of tiles for my favourite radio stations would sometimes disappear while I was listening to one. I thought I’d been unlucky, but a chance conversation with one of our road testers revealed that the exact same issues had blighted both Scalas we’d used in early group tests. A call to Skoda revealed a software update was required, and sure enough this initially seemed to completely solve the problem. However, more recently the Scala has been up to some of its old tricks again. Although the screen mostly functions properly now, it sometimes doesn’t turn on at all when I start the car. I can still hear the radio and control the system to a limited extent with the steering wheel-mounted buttons, but the screen remains as dead as a dodo.

USED CARS Hyundai i10 BUYING GUIDE Hyundai’s city car proves that you can have big-car qualities in a tiny package, and all for not much money In production 2014-2020 Price from £3500 Our favourite 1.2 Premium SE Max Adams Max.Adams@haymarket.com
LITTLE CITY CARS are supposed to be basic transportation, but who says you can’t enjoy a bit of comfort at the same time? Enter the second-generation Hyundai i10, a tiddler that’s easy to drive in cut-and-thrust traffic but also offers the equipment and refined feel of a far bigger car. Power comes from a choice of two petrol engines: a 65bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder unit or an 86bhp 1.2-litre four-cylinder. You can have a traditional five-speed manual gearbox or, as an option with the 1.2-litre engine, an old-school four-speed automatic. Trim levels start with the entry-level S, which comes with steel 14in wheels and electric front windows, while the popular SE adds air conditioning, cruise control, Bluetooth and a DAB radio. Premium versions offer 14in alloy wheels, privacy glass and climate control, while top-of-the-range Premium SE trim treats you to a heated steering wheel and heated front seats, rear parking sensors and 15in alloys. There was also a special SE Blue trim that had only four seats (all other i10 models have five) and rode on smaller wheels in order to improve its official average fuel economy figure. This generation of the i10 had a mild facelift in the autumn of 2016 that introduced redesigned front and rear bumpers, along with a touchscreen infotainment system exclusively for Premium SE models.

WHAT’S IT LIKE?
Most drivers will find the entry-level 1.0-litre engine eager enough around town, but the more powerful 1.2 is worth seeking out if your driving regularly includes A-roads and motorways. In either case, the i10 is one of the best in its class for refinement on all types of road; it has a comfortable ride and really is as

quiet as a much larger and plusher car. The main issue is that the steering, which is really light for ease of use around town, is vague at higher speeds and doesn’t inspire confidence on twisty roads. The five-speed manual gearbox isn’t quite as slick as those of rivals such as the Volkswagen Up, while the optional automatic changes gear quite slowly, so you’re well aware of the pause in momentum if you’re accelerating hard, but in laid-back use it’s smooth enough. In fact, it’s the best automatic in this class. The i10 won’t win any design awards for the interior, although it’s well put together and the hard plastics do at least have a pleasing texture to them and avoid feeling cheap. The 7.0in touchscreen infotainment system that became standard with Premium SE trim in the wake of the 2016 facelift is easy to use and benefits from built-in sat-nav and Apple and Android smartphone mirroring.

Tall people will be fine for head and leg room up front, while rear passengers can stretch out (relatively) in one of the roomiest city cars out there. Parents will also appreciate the i10’s wide-opening rear doors and high roofline, both of which will make getting a child in or out of their seat that much easier. The boot is a decent size, and if you need even more loadcarrying capacity, the seatbacks can be folded almost completely flat. HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

UNTIL RECENTLY, YOU had to choose between a coupé or a convertible if you wanted something that looked sporty, meaning just two doors and, usually, a cramped interior. Now, though, those who want finely chiselled bodywork but need proper practicality can browse a selection of five-door ‘fastbacks’ and coupé-inspired SUVs. One of the most popular in the latter group is the Audi Q8, which is based on the fantastic Q7 but swaps the third row of seats for a tapering roofline and has a far more imposing front end. And there’s Land Rover’s most road-biased model, the Range Rover Velar, whose overt glamour has also won many an admirer. Buy either at a couple of years old and you’ll save enough on the price of a new example to pay for a six-month round-the-world cruise for all the family. But which is the wiser selection?
DRIVING Performance, ride, handling, refinement
Although they cost a similar amount to buy, there are some pretty major differences under the bonnets of these cars. With 237bhp from its twin-turbocharged 2.0-litre diesel engine, the Velar isn’t exactly malnourished, yet the Q8 trumps it quite comfortably, thanks to a 3.0-litre diesel V6 that packs a thumping 282bhp. True, you can buy a Velar with a more powerful V6, but it will cost you thousands more at any age. While the Q8 raced from 0-60mph in 6.3sec in our tests, the Velar took 8.6sec – 1.3sec more than its official time. It was also notably slower in our rolling acceleration tests, taking 2.4sec longer to get from 30-70mph, for instance.

But let’s put things into perspective: this Velar will be brisk enough for most people. It still gets up to motorway speed in a respectable time and doesn’t make overtaking too fraught. The Q8 doesn’t just go like a hot hatch in a straight line; it could keep up with one on a twisty road, too. All versions come with adaptive air suspension that’s uncanny in its ability to keep this 2.2-tonne lump upright in corners. Grip is impressive, while the steering is precise and more consistently weighted than the Velar’s, making it easier to place the car. Meanwhile, the Velar leans over dramatically in corners, imparting little sense that its body movements are being controlled, while its steering is light but precise enough. And while adaptive air suspension is an option, it doesn’t sharpen up the handling a great deal.
The Velar has no sporting pretensions, rolling notably when you corner quickly

Take a less challenging route, however, and the Velar’s squidgy standard suspension make it noticeably more comfortable on its standard 21in wheels. It wafts along pleasantly, doing a fine job of smoothing out surface imperfections. On its optional 22in alloys, the Q8 always feels like it’s fidgeting; at least it never crashes or bangs. Unfortunately, while the Velar has a ride that soothes its occupants, it lets in more wind and
tyre noise than the Q8 at all speeds, while its engine doesn’t sound as sweet. Both cars have automatic gearboxes that usually shift smoothly but hesitate when you ask for a burst of acceleration. This can make entering a busy junction a small leap of faith. BEHIND THE WHEEL Driving position, visibility, infotainment, quality
Forward visibility is great in both cars, thanks largely to their raised seating positions. And while visibility out the back isn’t quite as good, due to narrowing windows, thick rear pillars and slim rear screens, both cars get rear-view cameras and front and rear sensors to ensure that parking isn’t too much of a challenge.

for long motorway journeys, while the Q8’s hold you in place better through corners. The Velar has several cows’ worth of leather inside, but the Q8 feels more luxurious overall; not only are its interior materials of a higher quality, but the fit and finish are also better. The dashboards in both cars feature a pair of large touchscreens, one above the other. You control nearly every function through these, and luckily each offers pin-sharp graphics, but the Q8’s have more logically laid-out menus and are more responsive to your fingers. However, there are no shortcut buttons in the Q8, so you have to look away from the road to find what you want to press and ensure you do so. The fact that the Velar also has physical dials makes simple tasks such as changing the temperature much easier while you’re driving. The Q8 gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, but these weren’t offered on the Velar until 2018. Prior to that, you had to download a smartphone mirroring app of Land Rover’s own that doesn’t work as smoothly.

Neither car is small, so front space is plentiful, although the Q8 has a bit more head room, although that’s due to our Velar’s panoramic roof. Those in the back are well served, too. Leg room is better in the Q8, but the Velar counters with more head room. You won’t feel cramped in either unless you’re unusually tall, though. Electrically reclining rear seats are standard in the Velar, whereas manual equivalents were a £350 option on the Q8. This fee also split the rear bench 40/20/40 (standard in the Velar), instead of 60/40, and gave it the ability to slide back and forth to prioritise either boot space or leg room. This feature wasn’t available on the Velar, but you don’t really need it, because its boot can take more luggage no matter where the Q8’s rear seats are positioned. Both cars get electric tailgates as standard. The Velar adds gesture control so that you can open the boot even when your hands are full; the Q8 counters with a function that allows the rear suspension to lower for easier loading. There’s less storage space for odds and ends inside the Q8, with no shelf for your wallet and keys ahead of the gear selector and the wireless

Buying at two years old, you can save a wholesome £20,000 on the price of a new Velar and £19,000 on a new Q8. And as we mentioned earlier, you’ll get that muscular STATS, SPECS AND RATINGS Audi Q8 50 TDI quattro S line
V6 engine in the Q8 rather than the four cylinders of the Velar for that money; a similar six-cylinder version of the British SUV would set you back a fair bit more. The Velar should be the cheaper to insure and service, plus it should burn slightly less fuel. Given that it came with more equipment yet should cost you around £1500 less than the Q8 to buy, it’s actually relatively good value. However, it finished second from bottom in

the luxury SUV class in the most recent What Car? Reliability Survey, while the Q7, which shares many of its mechanicals with the Q8, ranked fifth. Land Rover as a brand finished rock bottom in the same survey – 31st out of 31 – while Audi came a disappointing 20th. The Velar achieved five stars out of five for safety from Euro NCAP, as did the Q8. They’re equally adept at protecting adult occupants, but the Q8 is slightly safer for children.

Despite being aimed at the same market, these SUVs are very different in character. The Velar is a cosseting cruiser, making every drive a relaxing experience; the Q8 has a firmer edge and sportier handling. While the Velar is more practical and better equipped, that’s not enough to stop the Q8 from winning. Not only does it feel more luxurious inside, but the effortless performance is also more in keeping with the coupé SUV remit, and it handles superbly. Despite this, it’s still comfy and roomy enough for the family.

BE ST BUY
Hyundai i10 THE i10 WINS our value proposition because, essentially, it makes you think you’re driving something more expensive. Some pricier small cars can’t match its calm ride and quiet cruising manners, and rear seat space is impressive for a car of this size; it’ll seat four 6ft-tall adults in relative comfort. The i10 can seem expensive as a cash buy, but strong residual values make monthly PCP finance highly competitive.
100 March 2020
Our pick 12 MPI SE Connect List price £13,995 Target Price £13,830 MPG 52.3 CO2 108g/km For Relatively comfy and quiet, with decent rear space and a good infotainment system. Against Engine needs more pep; pricey to buy with cash; not that cheap to insure. WHAT CAR? SAYS

Our pick 1.0 TSI 95 SE List price £15,435 Target Price £12,954 MPG 51.4 CO2 103g/km For Roomy interior, reasonably well equipped and a sprightly engine. Against There are too many hard plastics inside and the ride is firm in town. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Kia Rio
Our pick 1.0 T-GDi manual ‘2’ List price £15,955 Target Price £15,085 MPG 48.7 CO2 114g/km For Turbo engine is a fine performer and there’s lots of kit as standard. Against It’s fidgety in town and the handling and security ratings are average. WHAT CAR? SAYS

Seat Ibiza
Our pick 1.0 TSI 95 FR List price £17,955 Target Price £14,923 MPG 53.3 CO2 105g/km For Fun to drive, practical, well equipped and scores well for safety. Against The Polo is better for rear seat passengers and there’s some road noise. WHAT CAR? SAYS
BE ST BUY
Volkswagen Polo THE POLO HAS been the best small car around for two years now. While the Peugeot 208 has a space-age interior, the Polo’s tech is easier to get along with. The VW uses the same engine as the cheaper Skoda Fabia, but you’ll hear far less from it in the Polo, while also benefiting from less wind and road noise. The Polo is very nearly a match for the soft-riding 208 on comfort, too, while there’s enough space inside for the family.
Our pick 1.0 TSI 95 SE List price £16,980 Target Price £15,729 MPG 50.2 CO2 105g/km For Smart interior, good refinement, tempting as a company car and has a supple ride. Against Auto wipers and cruise control cost extra, not as much fun as a Ford Fiesta. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Ford Fiesta
Our pick 1.0T Ecoboost 95 Trend 5dr List price £16,995 Target Price £16,156 MPG 64.2 CO2 94g/km For Trend trim adds plenty of standard kit and the engine is a strong performer. Against Misses out of some important safety kit and some rivals are better value. WHAT CAR? SAYS

Our pick 1.0 T-GDi 2 List price £18,600 Target Price £17,311 MPG 50.4 CO2 115g/km For Decent performance; seven-year warranty; good build quality; large boot. Against Not the most comfortable ride or driving position; engine can sound coarse. WHAT CAR? SAYS

Skoda Scala FROM THE MOMENT it was launched, the Scala was a strong candidate to be the class leader. It excels in areas where many rivals are complacent, particularly interior space and comfort. No, it can’t challenge the BMW 1 Series for driver appeal, nor can it hold a candle to the hybrid Corolla’s frugality. It has both trumped when it comes to price, though; it’s definitely ‘value for money’, not ‘cheap and cheerful’.
Our pick 1.0 TSI 115 SE List price £18,930 Target Price £16,525 MPG 51.4 CO2 111g/km For SE trim brings a decent touchscreen, and the engine can keep up with faster traffic. Against Interior feels a little cheap and the Scala isn’t as good to drive as a Ford Focus. WHAT CAR? SAYS
Seat Leon
Our pick 1.0 TSI SE Dynamic List price £19,615 Target Price £14,992 MPG 47.9 CO2 112g/km For Strong yet economical petrol engine with low running costs; good to drive. Against Some of the plastics feel cheap and some rivals are more practical. WHAT CAR? SAYS

BMW 3 Series THE 330E SLICKLY integrates the latest tech with the long-held wants and needs of executive saloon drivers. It’s easy to live with, has a high-quality interior, is fantastic to drive and yet relatively cheap to run. If the Tesla Model 3 has a long enough range for your needs, it’d make a terrific choice. Likewise, the Skoda Superb offers great value for money. But the 330e possesses greater premium lustre.
Our pick 330e M Sport List price £39,990 Target Price £34,614 MPG 201.8 CO2 37g/km For Great to drive, with strong performance and an excellent infotainment system. Against Reduced boot and smaller petrol tank compared with regular 3 Series. WHAT CAR? SAYS

BMW 5 Series OUR LUXURY CAR of the Year for the past three years still offers the very best traits of this class, but for less money than the other Best Buys here. Yes, the Audi A8 is outstandingly comfortable and the BMW 6 Series GT is exceptionally practical for a car like this. But the 5 Series really isn’t all that far off either in those respects, while also being better to drive, cheaper to run and just as refined.

Honda Civic Type R NO RIVALS HAVE destroyed all comers like the Civic Type R.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio THE QUADRIFOGLIO VERSION of Alfa Romeo’s Giulia has won a What Car? trophy for three years in a row, and with very good reason. It’s far more powerful and more engaging than the Mercedes-AMG A35 Saloon, and while the AMG E63 S Estate is even faster and more practical, the price chasm between the two is gaping.

The What Car? Target Price is the maximum Target you should pay for Price your new car and is set by our mystery shoppers. It’s updated each month and What Car?-approved dealers guarantee to match it. However, in a lot of cases, they can save you even more: just go to whatcar.com/new-car-deals, or call 03302 216207 between 9am and 5pm (standard network fees apply). All Target Prices are correct at the time of going to press.
TARGET PCP
The Target PCP is a fair monthly fee should you take out a personal contract purchase (PCP) finance deal. Like Target Price, it’s set by our mystery shoppers. Most are over 48 months with a 15% deposit and an 8000-mile annual mileage limit. Those marked with an asterisk are over 36 months and those with an apostrophe are over 42 months. Ford deals are all over 9000 miles, while those for Honda, Mitsubishi, MercedesBenz, Skoda and Volkswagen are all over 10,000 miles. Target PCP
TRUE MPG
What Car?’s True MPG fuel economy figures True show what sort of MPG efficiency you can really expect. The test is conducted in a laboratory to ensure repeatability within 1% but is based on a real-world route that takes in town, rural and motorway driving. It’s carried out under tightly controlled conditions: climate
control is always set to 21deg C and cars due to be tested are stored overnight at 23deg C so that each starts with exactly the same engine temperature. The True MPG figures reflect what’s achievable if you’re driving gently and sticking to speed limits but aren’t resorting to any unrealistically slow acceleration or special ‘hypermiling’ techniques.
REAL RANGE
What Car?’s Real Range test shows how far an electric car can Real really drive on a single Range charge. In the test, the car is driven at our test centre until its battery is flat, then we fully charge it (measuring the energy required to do so) and soak it to 18deg C overnight. Then, with the lights and air conditioning on, two people inside and the outside air between 10 and 15deg C, we drive our 19.4-mile route, which simulates a mix of urban traffic, rural roads and motorway. This is driven twice for cars that take more than 60kWh of electricity to charge and three times for those that take more than 100kWh.
VERDICT
Our road test reviews are the standard by which the car industry judges new cars.
DIMENSIONS
As quoted by the car makers, with width not including door mirrors.
PRICE ON THE ROAD (OTR) The pre-discount price set by car makers, including registration, delivery and first-year Vehicle Excise Duty (VED, or road tax).
CONTRACT HIRE
This monthly fee is based on a 36-month/36,000-mile contract, excluding maintenance and VED. Prices are supplied by Wessex Fleet Solutions. Quotes are available at whatcar.com/ car-leasing or on 01722 322888.
PERFORMANCE FIGURES
The quoted power, torque, top speed and 0-62mph figures are official manufacturer numbers.
GOV’T MPG, GOV’T RANGE
Quoted MPG figures are maximum combined values derived from the official (European Union) WLTP tests, which are significantly more realistic than the NEDC regime that was discontinued in September 2018. The official range figures quoted for electric cars are also conducted under WLTP rules.
CO2 G/KM
The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas emitted is used to work out the rate of first-year VED and company car (benefit-in-kind) tax. Quoted CO2 values are correlated to the old NEDC tests, because WLTP figures won’t be used to calculate BIK tax until this April.
VEHICLE EXCISE DUTY
Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), or road tax, is calculated on a scale according to CO2 output for the first year and operates on a flat rate thereafter. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids get a £10 discount on both the first-year rate and the flat rate. Electric cars pay no VED, but all cars costing more than £40,000 (list price, including options, and regardless of dealers’ discounts) pay an extra £320 tax annually for five years from the second year.

BENEFIT-IN-KIND TAX
Benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax bills for company cars are calculated by multiplying the car’s P11D value (list price, cost of delivery, value added tax and any optional extras but not VED or registration fees) by the percentage for which it’s liable against its CO2 emissions.Then this is multiplied by your income tax band of 20%, 40% or 45% in England, Northern Ireland and Wales or 19%, 20%, 21%, 41% or 46% in Scotland. We quote prices for a 40% taxpayer as a guide. Diesels attract 4% higher BIK than petrols, except for those that meet the toughest Real Driving Emissions Standards 2 (RDE2). All electric cars incur a 16% BIK rate. The BIK scale alters each April; all electric car drivers will pay nothing for the 2020-21 period.
