Welcome

Star contributors

Revealed: the new cars powering the Renault revolution • Renault will accept second-best no longer. Here, the key players behind the new strategy reveal the cars that will revitalise the brand.

Mini’s EV plans… e-JCW due… real-world Urbanaut… Rocketman reborn

A new Polestar shines • The second of two SUVs due in two years from the electric-focused Swedish brand will be this coupe-esque Macan rival.

Merc SL ‘goes back its roots’ • All-new rag-top roadster is an AMG project – cue big V8s and attitude.

Jamie Chadwick: the 5 secrets of her success • Now a double world champ: here’s how

Crossing Antarctica? Do it in style • Vowing to drive your Porsche 356 across every continent is all well and good until you get to the bit at the bottom…

‘The speed of EV change is so fast’ • And motorsport has a crucial role to play, says the boss of a firm quietly shaping the future

Stay of execution • Toyota proves the city car ain’t dead

New Maserati: bringing la dolce vita to the UK • Supercars, crossovers and EVs – Maserati’s long-awaited push into the UK big time starts here.

DUDE, WHERE’S MY GRECALE?

Inessential purchases • Gloriously irrelevant engineering, brilliantly executed.

Always look on the bright side • Start-up Sono Motors is taking the Ford Model T approach to making a solar-powered car a viable alternative. We drive it.

The hybrid that acts like an EV • Nissan’s new e-Power hybrid system reinvents the range extender.

Off the grid? Your electric car can help • In a neat bit of role reversal, a parked Hyundai Ioniq 5 can act as a generator, thanks to V2L tech.

ROAM FREE • HOW IT WORKS

A £50k Golf?! • Audi’s most ambitious hot hatch ever has a price that sets expectations sky high. We pitch it against some challenging Greek roads to see if it’s worth it

Pick-up: 0 miles

FIVE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT FIVES

Billionaire Top Trumps • The Super Sport is exceptionally fast – of course it is. But it also somehow retains the regular Chiron’s drive-all-day civility

Crazier horse • Racier Mustang EV gets big power, bespoke tyres and torque: lots of torque

Batman’s ID.3 • Holy badge engineering! It’s the Cupra version of the VW Group’s electric hatch!

Green new deal • The way you buy Volvo’s first electric-only model is more interesting than how it drives

Dancing in the dark • A Ghost that does all the usual Rolls stuff, but with extra dynamic magic

The Meg 5: judgement day • Renault’s crucial Megane goes battery-electric – and in some style

i4, therefore BMW is • If BMW is to remain more than merely a maker of decent SUVs, the i4 electric coupe/saloon needs to be special. Is it?

It’s a grower

Opinion • MISUNDERSTOOD MEGANE + MAX POWER + INFLUENTIAL BMW i8

BMW i Vision Circular

CAR UK

‘This new weight tax highlights another ongoing French motoring idiosyncrasy: protectionism’

‘The Renault Avantime didn’t fail because it was misunderstood. In reality, it was deeply flawed’

Working 9.5... ...what a way to make a living • Far from killing it off, Ferrari’s given its V12 a proper overhaul for the 812 Competizione. 819bhp and a 9500rpm rev limit? Grazie

FRONT-ENGINED V12s IN COMPETIZIONE

Range Rover • You don’t mess with icons – just ask Porsche. And rest assured the all-new, fifth-gen Range Rover is...
