Tesla Model X P90D Signature. The new Tesla Motors Model X SUV is so packed with headline grabbing features like the “falcon wing” doors, mind-boggling performance and a giant windscreen, that you might forget the fact that it is all electric too. And it will protect you if biological warfare breaks out. The Fremont, California-based […]
Audi R8 V10 plus Coupe review For – stunning performance, quality, technology. Against – you’d have to give up golf. ***** £153,650 LE CASTELLET, France – Audi’s updated R8 supercar has more powerful 5.2 litre V10 engines with one capable of more than 200 mph, has shed weight by using more high-tech carbon fibre, and […]
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV GX4hs 2015 review. “The Outlander PHEV wins the coveted WintonsWorld 5 star award for excellence on all fronts with no worrying question marks” For – impressive fuel consumption, no range anxiety, improved spec.

Jeep Renegade 2.0 MultiJetII Trailhawk. For – rugged looks, off-road champ, well equipped. Against – too expensive, poor quality, limited load access. *** £30,395 The Jeep Renegade was on my possible purchases list, but I’m sorry to report it failed on a bunch of my (perhaps very personal and subjective) criteria. The Renegade was unlucky […]
Audi A4 2.0 TDI S line 2015 Review. For – luxurious, high tech, connected. Against – bland looks. **** £34,345 Audi’s new A4 is lighter and slipperier than the model it replaces and looks remarkably like the old one. The headline claim for the A4 is its reduced weight – down by 110 kgs/242 lbs […]

Against – poor fuel consumption. **** £32,930 The Hyundai Tucson is the best compact SUV I’ve ever driven and it was heading for the coveted WintonsWorld 5 star award until I checked on the fuel consumption.

Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian 2015 Review. For – go anywhere, carry anything with 5 in comfort.

Volvo XC90 Review 2015. For – understated, high quality interior, serene ride. Against – slow-speed stutter/noise. **** £62,220 The Volvo XC90 is a handsome, high-quality SUV, and this version has an amazing little diesel engine which delivers terrific performance. Twinning a 2.0 litre, 4-cylinder diesel to a huge beast like this sounds like a recipe […]
Renault Kadjar Review 2015. For – eye-catching, well-proven mechanicals, drives well. Against – expensive. **** £27,470 DONCASTER, England – Renault’s new compact SUV is called the Kadjar. There is a reason for that name, but I’m afraid my brain glazed over while it was being explained to me. If it sells well, and it is […]
Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE Luxury Review For – handsome, powerful, beautiful interior. Against – noisy engine, jerky transmission, poor fuel consumption. *** £45,995 The new Land Rover Discovery Sport replaces the old Freelander and it certainly is a big improvement in terms of looks. This handsome model, the HSE Luxury, had a fabulous interior […]
