IT’S hard not to be impressed by Hyundai these days. From its range of award-winning cars to the work it’s doing around sustainability, the Korean firm is showing more established brands the way forward.

I’ve been out in Korea for the home unveiling of the new Ioniq 6, a car that – as you can read about on page 13 – outpunches the Tesla Model 3 when it comes to range.

At the same time, Hyundai confirmed its first hot EV, the Ioniq 5 N, while also revealing two concepts that are rolling test beds for future hot models.

One of the concepts, the N Vision 74, is another stunner produced by SangYup Lee, Brit Simon Loasby and the Hyundai team. It’s inspired by the Giorgetto Giugiaropenned Hyundai Pony Coupé, which in turn inspired the DMC DeLorean used in the movie Back To The Future.

As with many concepts, if the reaction is positive, there’s a chance it may be built – so let us know what you think.

However, one stop on our Korean tour was at Hyundai’s R&D base, where ex-NASA exec Dr Jaiwon Shin, head of Hyundai’s Advanced Air Mobility Division, told us about the company’s plan to muscle in on ‘air taxis’. “It’s not about flying cars, it’s about air vehicles,” Dr Shin told us.

At this week’s Farnborough Air Show, Hyundai is displaying an interior mock-up of its Urban Air Mobility vehicle (above). It’s been designed by Luc Donckerwolke, Hyundai’s Chief Creative Officer, using automotive techniques and advanced, sustainable materials.

This battery-powered, drone-like, four-to-five-seater is designed to take off and land vertically, and transport people over the top of traffic jams on short journeys.

First commercial flights are expected in 2028.

“Demand is so strong, it will happen,” said Dr Shin.

“We’re seeing the convergence of technologies from non-aviation sectors and building new roads in the sky.”

All car companies have to move with the times, but Hyundai seems to be moving faster than most.

STYLING Deep front spoiler adds extra ducts for cooling battery pack, while rear gets a bigger spoiler and a diffuser

HYUNDAI’S high-performance N Division has confirmed production of the Ioniq 5 N, its first all-electric performance road car based on Auto Express’s Car of the Year for 2021 and the World Car of the Year 2022.

At the same time as announcing the new hot hatchback, Hyundai has also revealed two ‘rolling laboratory’ concepts (above): the RN22e, based on the new Ioniq 6 saloon, and the N Vision 74, a retro-inspired, hydrogen fuel cell-powered concept.

Full details of the new Ioniq 5 N aren’t expected for a while, although Hyundai has confirmed that the car will be on sale in 2023 and that the RN22e concept is playing a role in the development of future electric N models.

Our exclusive image shows how we think the new Ioniq 5 N could look with Hyundai N’s now-famous Performance Blue paint colour and aggressive bodywork treatment.

Expect the Ioniq 5 N to get a beefier rear spoiler at the top of its tailgate with a diffuser fitted beneath the rear bumper, while extended wheelarches and bigger, 21-inch wheels are also likely. At the front, a deep spoiler will have to include ducts for extra cooling; the battery pack is going to be working harder in this high-performance car.

Inside, the Ioniq 5’s interior is likely to get an N makeover with sportier, but still sustainable, materials used in the cabin, deep sports seats, a thicker steering wheel and revisions to the graphics on the digital instrument cluster. We would also expect some electronic trickery, with different chassis, power and control settings available to drivers.

The powertrain used for the RN22e concept car gives a big hint as to what could be on offer in the Ioniq 5 N. The concept uses the

“The Ioniq 5 N is likely to be slightly longer, lower and wider than the conventional model for a sportier stance” www.autoexpress.co.uk

same E-GMP platform and 77.4kWh battery and dual-motor set-up for four-wheel drive that’s also available on the standard 5.

Hyundai refers to the RN22e as “a glimpse of upcoming EV N”, while Thomas Schemera, Hyundai’s Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience, told Auto Express: “RN22e plays a big role in the development of our product line-up, especially our electrified high-performance vehicles.”

The RN22e’s front and rear electric motors produce a combined 569bhp and 740Nm of torque, which could translate directly to the Ioniq 5 N. That would mean a 0-62mph time as low as 3.5 seconds, while the concept also retains the rapid-charging capability of the 800V-compatible E-GMP platform.

Other technology that could filter through to the Ioniq 5 N from the RN22e includes torque vectoring, which gives the concept a ‘corner carving feel’ according to Hyundai.

Weight reduction also features with the use of 3D-printed parts, while four-piston monoblock brake calipers and 400mm hybrid-construction discs cater for the extra weight of an EV and regenerative braking compared with existing N models. And like the RN22e, the Ioniq 5 N will be built for track days and targeted at driving enthusiasts, as well as for daily road use.

The concept car also features N Sound+, which is said to raise the excitement level by pumping artificial noise through the speakers and is highly likely to make it through to the Ioniq 5 N – it’s similar tech to e-ASD, which was introduced in the new Ioniq 6. There’s also N e-shift, which adds vibration and a feel that is intended to replicate that of an ICE car.

The RN22e concept is slightly longer, lower and wider than the Ioniq 6 on which it’s based, hinting that the Ioniq 5 N will get similar dimension changes, especially when it comes to the car’s width, to give the model a sportier stance – the RN22e is around 70mm wider each side than the Ioniq 6 production car.

Although the Ioniq 5 N has officially been confirmed, there’s no word if or when an Ioniq 6 N could go into production. All Thomas Schemera would say is, “Never say never.”

However, with Hyundai reiterating that its ‘rolling labs’ are where it tests and verifies the

RETRO

company’s advanced technologies to apply them to future production models, it would seem only a matter of time before an Ioniq 6 N gets the green light.

That would also give Hyundai an opportunity to put the 6 N into the allelectric ETCR e-Touring Car World Cup racing series to replace the Veloster N that is currently competing.

Also unveiled alongside the RN22e was another rolling lab concept, the N Vision 74 – a high-performance hydrogen fuel-cell hybrid that pays tribute to the Hyundai Pony Coupe concept from 1974, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. It’s also a nod towards the Hyundai N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo, which was unveiled in 2015 as Hyundai launched its N brand.

Although the N Vision 74 updates the Pony concept with the use of the

“Total range is more than 372 miles, while a refill takes just five minutes” 12 20 July 2022

sub-brand’s trademark Parametric Pixel lights, it blends analogue and digital inside just as the original did.

It’s much more than just a styling exercise, though. Hyundai has developed a combination of a battery-electric powertrain in conjunction with a fuel-cell system, with the two different power sources used depending on different driving conditions.

This means better torque vectoring by twin motors on the rear axle to improve cornering, while the technology is fully integrated into the design to fulfil the FCEV’s heat-management requirements.

Total power is said to be over 662bhp with 900Nm of torque, while the range stands at more than 372 miles; a refill takes just five minutes.

The N Vision 74 is less likely to hint at a production model than the RN22e, although given the current trend for coupé-SUVs, a racier ‘sportback’ version of the Ioniq 5 shouldn’t be ruled out.

PLUS Ioniq 7 MPV set to morph into an SUV

N VISION 74

HYUNDAI’S next all-electric Ioniq model following on from the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 is, unsurprisingly, set to be the Ioniq 7.

Previewed by the Ioniq Seven Concept at last year’s Los Angeles Motor Show, Hyundai has made no secret of its plans to put the car into production. Talking about the Ioniq family at the Busan Motor Show, Hyundai’s vice-president of design Simon Loasby said: “We have an SUV coming, we have the Ioniq 7.” Although we won’t see

the production version of the 7 for a while, Loasby’s comments reveal that the boxy MPV concept is likely to be tweaked for production to take on more of an SUV look.

With the tall, squared-off design of the concept car, it would be relatively easy to move the production 7 towards more of an SUV shape with bigger wheels, some wheelarch cladding and a more sloping roof, akin to the Audi A2’s roofline that was referenced by Loasby when the concept car was revealed.

With sales of seven-seat MPVs in decline and SUVs continuing to grow in popularity,

it makes sense for Hyundai’s next allelectric car to follow that trend and take on a more rugged look. However, many of the concept’s unique and highly praised details, including its use of pixel lights at the front and back, are expected to be carried over to the final version of the production car.

The concept’s unusual lounge-like interior is likely to be replaced by a more traditional seven or eight-seat layout, although with a few unique twists in keeping with Hyundai’s ‘living space’ interior design theme.

We don’t expect to see the final Ioniq 7 production car revealed until closer to its on-sale date in 2023.

A slippery profile helps give the ‘Electric Streamliner’ a claimed range of 379 miles

Hyundai Ioniq 6 promises Tesla-beating range MORE details have been released on Hyundai’s new all-electric Ioniq 6 saloon, set to go on sale in the UK later this year, including its claimed maximum range of 379 miles – five miles more than the Tesla Model 3 Long Range.

The new model, nicknamed the Electric Streamliner by Hyundai, uses much of the same technology as the brand’s Ioniq 5 crossover, including its E-GMP platform, which can be fitted with either a 53 or

www.autoexpress.co.uk

77.4kWh battery pack. However, by using the very latest technology coupled with its super-slippery shape (0.21Cd), the Ioniq 6 can beat the most efficient Ioniq 5’s maximum claimed range by 64 miles.

Things could get even better for the Ioniq 6, with over-the-air software updates that could increase the range further. Hyundai’s Thomas Schemera told us, “Software over the air will allow us to update key control systems, including the battery control

system, for even better performance and to enhance the ownership experience.”

Although prices have yet to be announced, expect the 6 to cost not much more than its Ioniq 5 sibling. That could mean around £43,000 for the entry-level 53kWh 2WD version, rising to £57,000 for the top-spec 77.4kWh model with 316bhp and 4WD for a 0-62mph time of just 5.1 seconds. All models will accept a 10-to-80per cent charge in just 18 minutes.

OFFICIAL

Sportier looks and new te Sean Carson

sean_carson@autovia.co.uk

KIA’S XCeed accounts for 10 per cent of the brand’s total UK sales, so it’s no surprise the firm has updated its Driver Power-winning family crossover for 2022, adding more style and tech, while returning with a plug-in hybrid powertrain option.

The design tweaks follow the facelifted Ceed hatchback, with new LED headlights and a revised front grille. There’s also been an emphasis on making the car look sportier. The silver skid plate on the lower front bumper and the new air curtains help here, as does the option of chunky 18-inch alloys and a new, racier GT-Line trim level.

At the rear, there are new, slimmer LED light clusters, while the 44mm extra ground clearance over the standard Ceed hatchback gives the car an off-road-inspired look.

The new GT-Line trim boasts an even sportier theme, while the whole range gets

some major changes inside. The XCeed doesn’t inherit the dual-screen set-up from Kia’s new Niro and Sportage SUVs, but it does have a 12.3-inch ‘Supervision’ digital dash with configurable themes linked to the car’s drive modes. It’s joined by a 10.25inch touchscreen on higher-spec models.

Lower-spec cars have an eight-inch set-up.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are included, along with a new Sports feature for live scores and highlights on the central touchscreen. But the XCeed retains its predecessor’s physical controls for the audio and climate control systems, located below the touchscreen.

The cabin features soft-touch materials and chrome trim, while buyers can specify cloth, suede, artificial leather or real hide for the upholstery. GT-Line trim features racier elements, including a ‘D-cut’ steering

ech for Kia XCeed wheel and sportier seats. Boot capacity is 426 litres, rising to 1,378 litres with the 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats down.

While the new XCeed will have an allelectrified line-up in the rest of Europe, Auto Express understands that the UK range will mirror that of the outgoing car. So we won’t take the new mild-hybrid model; instead, we’ll get a 158bhp 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard.

The XCeed will also retain its plug-in hybrid powertrain, which consists of a 1.6litre four-cylinder petrol engine mated to an 8.9kWh battery and an electric motor for

a total of 139bhp and a claimed all-electric range of 30 miles. Charging should take two hours 15 minutes from a three-pin socket.

The XCeed is the only Ceed variant with hydraulic bump stops on its front suspension, which are said to help give a compliant ride, while the chassis has been tuned in Europe.

Springs that are seven per cent softer than the standard Ceed at the front and four per cent softer at the rear also help boost comfort, while the power steering has been calibrated to deliver an alert initial response.

The steering weight and throttle sensitivity can be adjusted via Kia’s Drive Mode system, with a choice of Eco, Normal and Sport.

Finally, there’s the level of safety systems you’d expect of a new family car, including Navigation-assisted Smart Cruise Control.

Given the increase in technology on offer, expect a proportionate rise in price for the car, with the new XCeed potentially starting from just over £25,000 when it goes on sale towards the end of the year.

NEWS MG4

We drive new MG4 as it aims for mainstream EV big guns

● MG4 targeting VW’s ID.3 ● Range of up to 280 miles Andreas May

MG is going for the EV big guns with its latest model, the 4. It has made real gains with its electric models, the ZS EV and the 5, but the Chinese-owned British brand is no longer skirting around the edges of the electric-car market; with the MG 4, it’s going right after cars such as Volkswagen’s ID.3.

At 4.29 metres long, the 4 is just 30mm longer than VW’s hatchback and, like that car, it’s not quite a regular five-door Focus rival, yet not quite a proper SUV. Pricing is yet to be announced, but we expect the MG4 to join its ZS stablemate in dipping under the £30k mark when it goes on sale at the end of the year. But before then, we’ve got behind the wheel of a late prototype on roads near Munich.

The MG4 is doubly significant for MG, because it’s the first car to be built on the company’s new electric-focused Modular Scalable Platform (MSP). It promises three things. First, the battery is only 11cm deep, potentially freeing up cabin space. Second, MSP is scalable so more models are possible on this platform. Finally, it can house batteries from 40 to 150kWh. The MG4 should be available with two batteries. The more modest 168bhp version

will have a 51kWh unit – enough for up to 217 miles between recharges. Our test car was the higher-end 201bhp model with a 64kWh battery; MG’s WLTP test says it should be good for up to 280 miles.

The overriding impression of our short drive is that this is a busy, lively vehicle.

Weight is distributed 50:50 and the single electric motor drives the rear wheels, with the chassis being tuned in line with MG’s sporting heritage, and direct, responsive steering. The overall set-up only increases our curiosity about the rumoured 400bhp performance version, which is likely to get two motors and four-wheel drive.

Inside, as with the ID.3, the instrument panel has been pared back to a small display behind the steering wheel, showing only essentials such as speed and charge.

The rest of the MG’s functions – everything from multimedia to the car’s driving modes – are controlled via the infotainment screen; the rotary controller on the centre console is the gear selector, so all inputs are via touch.

MG says that the MSP platform is being launched as a 400V system, but that it could be upgraded, in time, to 800V to facilitate faster charging. Official figures on charging speeds haven’t been released, but our prototype had 125kW capability, so we’d expect that for the production car.

New look and trims for MG’s EV estate THE MG4 (left) will sit alongside an updated MG5 EV, which has gone on sale in Britain. Prices for the revised all-electric estate car start from £30,995 for SE trim, while higherspec Trophy trim starts from £33,495.

With an updated look thanks to a new front end and a refreshed interior, the MG5 is powered by a 61.1kWh battery and 154bhp electric motor, which sends drive to the front wheels.

Maximum range stands at 249 miles.

MoT test demand expected to surge DRIVERS have been warned to book their cars in early for MoT tests because of an expected surge in demand. Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency data analysed by BookMyGarage.com suggests a 23 per cent spike in MoT bookings will come in late summer and early autumn. September is expected to be the busiest month, with 770,000 additional vehicles requiring testing.

Gridserve offers multi-make drives PROSPECTIVE electric car buyers can now test drive EVs from a range of different brands at a single site.

Gridserve is offering multi-brand EV test drives from its Electric Forecourts in Braintree and Norwich. The electric cars available to test include the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, Polestar 2, Mercedes EQB and Nissan Leaf.

As well as offering EV public charging, Gridserve now has a leasing service; drivers who test cars at the sites can also access finance packages directly through the firm.

A DEFAULT speed limit of 20mph in residential and built-up areas is to be implemented across Wales.

Typically in the UK, local roads with street lights and no speed limit signs default to 30mph, but Wales has decided to change this to 20mph, first via a trial in eight communities, before being rolled out across the country from September 2023.

Currently, just 2.5 per cent of Welsh roads have a 20mph limit, but this will increase to approximately 35 per cent once the changes – which were proposed by the Welsh government and approved by the Senedd – are fully implemented.

The Welsh government has said it will work with the nation’s 22 councils on the rollout, because they “know their area best”, allowing them to choose which roads should remain as 30mph zones.

While Wales had previously been subject to the UK’s national speed limit laws, devolved powers let authorities make such changes. It’s expected that the Welsh plan to reduce limits to a blanket 20mph on restricted roads will be copied in Scotland. Similar measures are planned for 2025 as part of the power-sharing agreement between the Scottish National Party and the Green Party.

Welsh minister for climate change Julie James said: “Decreasing speeds not only reduces accidents and saves lives, but helps improve people’s quality of life.

“We know this move won’t be easy, but over time 20mph will become the norm.”

Mary Williams OBE, chief executive of road safety charity Brake, welcomed the news, saying: “There is undisputable evidence that slowing down prevents

SLOW DOWN

Wales is cutting speed limits on restricted roads from 30mph to 20mph

OFFICIAL crashes and reduces injuries. It gives drivers more time to think and brake and look around for vulnerable road users.”

The RAC’s road safety spokesman Simon Williams said: “Research by the RAC suggests compliance with 20mph speed limits is quite poor, with an increasing number of drivers believing the limit is inappropriate for the road.

“Rather than setting a default 20mph limit on all restricted roads, it would be better to target areas where they are most needed, as opposed to main ‘arterial’ roads where there are few pedestrians.”

The Vision 7S concept is likely to be fully revealed by early September.

Reaction to Wales’ new 20mph limit AUTO Express readers have reacted negatively to the news of Wales’ default 20mph speed limits.

Mike Burton wrote in to say: “Visitors are very likely to go home from Wales with a £100 fine and three points on their licences.

“While 20mph is fine near schools and on housing estates, wider 20mph restrictions will lead to the complete death of the already critically sick town centres in Wales.

“Many residents in Wales live quite near the English border, so can spend their money there and be at lower risk of fines and penalty points.”

One online commenter wrote: “As someone who lives in Flintshire, [I think] it’s stupid. Due to the way my car is geared, it’ll be less economical and harsher on the environment, especially uphill. Have it in cul-desacs and estates where kids play, but keep main roads at 30mph.”

Another wrote: “There’s a lot of debate about whether it will help or not, but no actual facts. We will at least be able to see the cold, hard numbers after a year or two and then be able to make an informed decision as to whether to keep it.”

“This will lead to more traffic jams as it will take longer to get past a row of parked cars on a narrow road,” another added. “Plus there’ll be more opportunity for fines. Any potential benefits are very much down to the modelling, which can be influenced to produce any desired answer.”

Concept teases convertible version of next MINI Electric

FROM: TA I THINK this could cause more accidents, especially if you’re in the middle of an overtaking manoeuvre. Furthermore, it feels as though the freedom of driving is being gradually stripped away by measures like this. Hopefully the UK deviates from this particular rule now we’re out of the European Union.

FROM: Gerry Marsh THIS may sound bad, but realistically we already have harshly enforced speed limits. In view of this, I don’t think drivers on the whole would object to their cars being restricted to 90mph or even 80mph on the road. Perhaps the motorway speed limit could be raised to 80mph along with this as a compromise.

BRANDS often roll out wild concepts previewing cars that will never see the light of day. Some are closer to production, while others, like this one-off MINI Electric Convertible, are previews of the future.

The existing MINI Electric has been on sale since 2019, and is only offered as a three-door hatch. The firm has promised the all-new, next-generation car, due in 2023, will offer a Convertible by the middle of the decade. So, this concept is designed to give us a taste of what’s to come.

While it might look like a normal MINI Convertible, the underpinnings are closely aligned with the Electric Hatch. The body, we’re told, already has the strengthening that’s required for the lack of a roof not to adversely affect the car’s handling. Space for the batteries is catered for, too.

This prototype features the same 32.6kWh battery and 181bhp electric motor as the Hatch. Range stands at around 140 miles, while a 10-to-80 per cent charge takes less than half an hour with a 50kW feed. The powered roof can be operated in 18 seconds at speeds of up to 19mph.

Visually, this one-of-a-kind MINI is identifiable via its subtle acid-green details and plug-inspired wheels, along with its

not-so-discreet ‘This toy is electric’ branding on the sides and back bumper.

MINI says the electric Convertible weighs around 140kg more than an equivalent Cooper S. But while it feels different to drive, with the heavy batteries mounted low in the floor, the grip, body control and steering feedback are MINI through and through.

It isn’t quite as quick as the Electric Hatch; 0-62mph takes 7.7 seconds – half a second slower – but you’d never know it.

With a hit of instant torque, the drop-top feels constantly alert and ready to go.

Bosses at the firm insist this is a one-off, although we’re told that if there is interest, there are no existing constraints preventing MINI from building the cabrio alongside the standard car in Oxford for as long as the Electric Hatch remains in production.

Larger CR-V looks set for Europe A NEW version of the Honda CR-V has been revealed in the US, meaning a similarly updated version of the SUV is all but certain to follow soon in Europe.

It features a stronger look thanks to a new hexagonal front grille, while an updated platform means that the car grows, with a longer wheelbase and wider front and rear tracks. There’s also an interior makeover inspired by the new Civic, while an e:HEV hybrid and a plug-in hybrid are likely to be offered when the car is confirmed for Europe.

It’s time for a car design revolution

Government should be helping motorists

FROM: Keith Blanchard WHAT has happened to car design? Here we are with an opportunity to redesign the shape of automobiles for the future with the supposed end of internalcombustion engines. All that space going to waste up front for starters; can no one in the car design world see the opportunity for a new shape?

Time to revolutionise.

FROM: Bill Trussel IT’S absurd that, when oil prices are set to remain high (Issue 1,737), the Government in the UK is still doing so little to help drivers.

Where are the subsidies that those in other countries, such as Spain, are seeing? Fuel duty should be temporarily scrapped or VAT on petrol and diesel removed. This is so unfair on ordinary drivers trying to cope.

Great to see future of superminis is safe

Hoping it’s not end of road for big exec cars

FROM: Richard Carne IT was good to read about the future of small cars (Issue 1,737). With the SUV trend seeming not to be going away anytime soon, I think it’s important to remember that not everyone wants or needs a large car. For me, a supermini with five seats and a decent boot will do the job and some can do with less.

FROM: Harold Tyne IT’S really annoying that the Volkswagen Phaeton Mk2 was scrapped (Issue 1,737). The first model was oddly fascinating in a quirky way. It’s similarly disappointing that we never saw the new all-electric Jaguar XJ appear. I wonder if the large executive car is on its way out as a breed. I certainly hope not.

INSIDESTORY Tackling the motoring issues that matter

Sean Carson

sean_carson@autovia.co.uk

A DAY in the life of a multi-millionaire is something many of us would like to experience, I’m sure. We’ve all dreamed of that Euromillions lottery win and how we might spend it, and the purchase of an ultra-exclusive hypercar probably makes that shortlist for many people. Could I interest you in a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, sir, madam?

Well, even if I could grab your attention, you wouldn’t be able to buy one, because they’re all sold. But despite a global pandemic, the French brand’s business is booming.

It’s a rarefied world that Bugatti owners live in, and Auto Express got to experience what it’s like for a day when it comes to specifying one of these £3.2million monsters.

“The average Bugatti customer owns more than 50 cars,” the company’s test driver Andy Wallace tells us, and we suspect they’re not Vauxhall Corsas or Volkswagen Polos.

But the well heeled clients that descend on Bugatti’s Molsheim factory, on the site of Chateau Saint Jacques – the large country house company founder Ettore Bugatti used to entertain clients just inside the French border, 15 miles west of Strasbourg – come to indulge their passion for a kind of vehicle they can’t get elsewhere, something Bugatti prides itself on. That’s exactly what we’re here to do, dive inside the wonderful world of Bugatti, before we head out onto the road to sample exactly what this incredible machine can achieve.

Talking to Jascha Straub, the Molsheim Atelier’s design and sales representative, the price tag is often immaterial.

The Super Sport starts from around £3.2million basic – a brilliantly incongruous term for such a machine – including UK taxes, and we’re told that most buyers spend between £300,000 and £400,000 on options alone, although Bugatti doesn’t outline individual option costs.

But there are some brilliantly individual requests that the factory has to contend with, according to Jascha, and it’s his job to advise customers on the right way to go. He’s “the personal link between the customer and the bespoke creative journey, intrinsically aware of every last detail offered by Bugatti and shaping the ultimate buying experience with the French luxury brand”. So,

20 20 July 2022

ALL GONE Bugatti is not taking any more orders for the Chiron after hitting its production run of 500 cars. This includes the Super Sport version snake skin? Alligator leather? “We’ve had all of these requests,” he tells me. “But we had to say no to this. Maybe a few years ago we would have done it, but for example, our collaborations with Hermes, they have their own leather, but the leather for their bags is not automotive grade, it’s not made to be under 100 degrees, so we have certain requirements for our materials, which makes it complicated.

“We want to achieve the highest quality – this is what Bugatti stands for,” Jascha explains.

Some things aren’t possible due to legislation and factors you might not immediately imagine, such as UV light damaging materials after a life spent in the sun.

Jascha says that these outlandish requests “happen quite often actually because people ask for different things on the steering wheel or inner dashboard, but we’re not allowed to touch this because of the airbags and the homologation of the car. If you changed something here, you’d have to crash test the car again and this is superexpensive. No customer wants to pay this.

“Sometimes customers request things that are unusual, such as a really bright colour for the dash. They have to sign a safety waiver that says the reflection in the windscreen might make it not so easy to see out and that Bugatti isn’t responsible for an accident arising from this issue.

“Every customer wants to go crazy. Recently, though, every car has been individualised, but in terms of materials the customers are more conventional now. Maybe they learned from the past that some things don’t make sense.

And what we offer in terms of materials – Alcantara, carbon fibre, real aluminium – is something special.”

We keep things more reserved as we kick off our configuration journey, basing our Auto Express Chiron on a subtle French theme as we follow the same path Bugatti

INSIDE STORY Personalising a Bugatti

“From an aesthetic point of view we would always try to steer the customer in a digestible point of view for us”

INTERIOR While Bugatti will listen to all customer requests, there are some no-go areas, such as alterations to the steering wheel or dash that could affect safety legislation or homologation rules

JASCHA STRAUB Design and sales representative owners have. A light blue hue for the all-carbon-fibre bodywork takes my fancy, with a darker two-tone colour for a little contrast on the lower sections of the body. I toyed with lighter, multi-spoke wheels in a bright-silver alloy finish; I thought they’d work, but immediately from Jascha’s reaction I can tell he’s not quite sure. Yet he treads the line between advice and respect deftly, pointing out why this particular wheel style in this particular finish might not work, careful not to rubbish my choice.

I switch back to the diamond-cut Super Sport alloys and plump for the French Tricolore on the underside of the car’s huge rear spoiler that doubles as an air brake. Plus I pick out the scalloped C-shape around the doors – a defining design detail – in bright aluminium and opt for a grille decal to emphasise the firm’s trademark horseshoe air intake.

Inside, I choose tan leather with matte carbon fibre for key parts of the cabin, including the central spine that houses the car’s exquisitely machined climate controls.

Customers can opt for laser-etched door panels with an inlay of their choice; they can match the cabin stitching to their favourite hue – the colour of a treasured watch face, perhaps – or embroidery on the headrests with a bespoke insignia. The choices aren’t strictly limitless, but they might as well be given the level of customisation on offer. And Bugatti will look to introduce 3D-printed parts in the future, furthering the scope for personalisation.

“We once looked at doing a car for a potential customer with one arm that featured just one shift paddle – a rally-style rocker paddle to change gear,” Jascha tells me. “We’ve also done a car with the gear lever in wood. We are open to do whatever the customer wants, as long as it’s within homologation and quality boundaries.”

I take a less is more approach to our car’s cabin. I mulled over the idea of a laser-inscribed

22 20 July 2022

Auto Express logo on the Chiron’s door cards – many customers choose to go truly bespoke, with their initials emblazoned around various parts of the car. Resale value is obviously not a concern for those who take the plunge with a Chiron, but I chose to keep it simple.

In fact, our spec of car is relatively tame. If you have pockets deep enough, Bugatti can build a one-off commission, and it’s Divo ‘ladybug’ (below) is a great example. You might think the black-and-red pattern on this bespoke car’s body would be most easily achieved with a wrap, but this is Bugatti

and its patrons expect so much more. That’s what its business is built on. As a result, the Divo ‘ladybug’ – so called because of its colour scheme – was actually painted.

But even painting a regular pattern wouldn’t be right due to the car’s curves and the way it catches the light, so computer models were drawn up to perfectly simulate a ‘regular’ look to the diamond insignia, tricking the eye. It’s called a “geometric-dynamic algorithmic fading pattern”, which highlights that the rhomboids also fade in a gradient along the length of the car. There’s achieving a complicated request, and then there’s this: it took two years to complete.

“The car has so many different volumes so we had to correct it, sometimes take out one row of those diamonds and put it at a slightly different angle, so in the end the whole pattern is running nicely and working with the lines of the car,” Jascha adds. “The configuration process was quite easy, but the execution was crazy. Lots of work and lots of headache. But I think this makes it even more special. We wanted to challenge ourselves and paint it, otherwise you could take a foil and wrap it. We wanted to achieve the best. It makes the craftsmanship feeling. This is the most complicated project over my years at Bugatti.”

But does Bugatti ever step in to protect its products and their public perception? Not really. Jascha tells us that they’ll give advice to prospective buyers on which options or inspirations might work well with other bits and pieces Bugatti can achieve, but I get the sense the brand would never veto a customer request on the grounds of taste.

“We also have to have our legacy in mind; it’s like a jewel and we don’t want to destroy it,” he says. “From an aesthetic point of view we would always try to steer the customer in a digestible point of view for us. We try not to exaggerate too much, but it is down to taste of course.”

In fact, Jascha tells me of a few cars (without revealing their owners) that are, ‘individual’. Boxer Floyd Mayweather famously owns a pearl matte white Veyron Grand Sport complete with white wheels, for example. Each to their own.

DRIVEN Super Sport is a stunner in every sense

No factory visit would be complete without a test drive, and we’re blown away by the Bugatti Chiron Sean Carson

sean_carson@autovia.co.uk

A TEST drive is part of the process when it comes to the buying decision and even the specification process, but it’s also a chance to experience what Bugatti’s products can really do.

I fire up the Stormtrooper-spec Chiron and the 1,578bhp 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine rumbles into life with a menacing burble from its vertically stacked exhausts.

As I head onto the road it dawns on me this £3.5million (including options) monster is already sold. No pressure, then.

But the driving position feels right and visibility is good, too, despite the Chiron’s vast dimensions and low-slung posture.

The Super Sport rolls away; nothing dramatic, just smooth, easy take-up that inspires confidence. This is reinforced on the move in every dynamic area you can imagine. The brakes have a wonderfully linear response and aren’t at all grabby.

They have a superbly reassuring feel of solidity and the Chiron sheds speed while tracking straight and true on even patchy roads; handy, because you will achieve high speeds.

The throttle pedal is long and once you’ve squeezed it to the stop there’s a slight delay as the boost builds. Once into its stride, with more than 2,000rpm showing and on full throttle, it catapults forward like no combustion-engined car I’ve ever experienced. Despite its size and turbocharging, the engine revs with hunger.

But while the 2.4-second 0-62mph time is impressive, it’s not the most eye-widening stat; 0-186mph takes just 12.1 seconds, while 0-273mph is dispatched in 28.6.

As every new gear slices home, you expect the onslaught to die away, but the Super Sport forces you to re-assess your frame of reference; it’s sustained at a level that’s scarcely believable. But far from being a blunt instrument that bludgeons the horizon, the Chiron Super Sport has a dynamic side. The steering is judged perfectly, with a surprisingly engaging weight and rate of response from the front axle. It handles impeccably for a car that weighs around two tonnes, and it’s fun.

That price tag evaporates from your mind quickly to the point where you can be bold and push the Bugatti, tapping into the fourwheel-drive system’s immense traction despite that power output. It’s a sensational experience that equals the excitement of specifying one. “Sold” I say. “I’ll have my people wire your people the money.” I wish.

Verdict AS more hypercars turn towards full electrification to achieve this level of performance, that the Chiron Super Sport does it with petrol power is even more impressive – and it adds a massive dose of character, too. Its personality is much more dynamic than expected, but it’s still the hammer-blow performance that dominates the experience. It’s exquisite.

CITROEN C5 AIRCROSS Facelifted tax-friendly plug-in hybrid focuses on comfort over thrills

Sean Carson

sean_carson@autovia.co.uk

FAST Fords are the bedrock of the firm’s appeal to UK enthusiasts. Affordable, often great to drive, practical and even efficient, Ford’s most recent performance products have offered so much in one package – and now there’s a fresh one.

This updated Focus ST isn’t all new, but it takes what’s gone before and refines the recipe with more technology, upgrades inside and some styling tweaks on top of the same great driving experience.

The ST now wears its Ford badge on a revised grille, which has large honeycomb mesh fitted between a pair of slimmer dynamic-matrix LED headlights. The car’s intakes lower down are trimmed in matt grey. There are matt grey alloy wheels, too – 18-inch as standard or 19-inch as an option – contrasting with our car’s lurid ‘Mean Green’ paintwork.

Inside, the ST no longer has Recaro sports seats, which were brilliant.

Instead, like its smaller Fiesta ST sibling, the Blue Oval has fitted its own 14-wayadjustable Ford Performance sports seats, which feel great and offer lots of support.

Infotainment

There’s also a new 13.2-inch infotainment set-up that has Ford’s SYNC 4 operating system. Like its predecessor’s tech, it works well, but isn’t the flashiest-looking set-up.

Yet responses are good and there are lots of features, such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, plus sat-nav, a B&O Premium audio system, wireless phone charging, a rear-view camera, full keyless go and a 12.3-inch digital dash.

Quality is the same as it was in the prefacelift model, so it’s good but not great; the interior is functional rather than flashy. While the materials are robust and there are some leather-wrapped soft-touch points such as the steering wheel and a few other areas, on the whole material quality is acceptable but not outstanding. Yet it’s a match for rivals such as Volkswagen’s Golf GTI, which should arguably be a more premium product.

Where the ST really excels is how it drives. Mechanically, there’s not much different with this facelift, but the recipe didn’t need changing in this respect.

Underneath the bonnet is the same 2.3-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that this generation of hot Focus made its debut with. It pumps out 276bhp and a healthy 420Nm of torque on overboost, no doubt thanks to the ST’s extra capacity over 2.0-litre rivals such as the Hyundai i30 N. There’s a six-speed automatic option, but it’s the six-speed manual model that we’re testing that you really want, because it adds an extra layer of involvement to the driving experience, with a precise-enough shift and a slick change action that makes going up and down the box enjoyable.

The manual’s 5.7-second 0-62mph time is more than quick enough, and traction off

the line is good, just as it is on the exit of tight corners, the standard-fit limited-slip differential helping to claw the road and propel the ST down the next straight.

The engine’s soundtrack is mostly a match for the performance, too, with some aggressive pops from the exhaust in either Sport or Track mode.

Further, the chassis feels just as racy, with the test ST’s larger alloy wheels and sports suspension combination meaning the ride is firm, but nicely controlled. Our car’s £800 Ford Performance Pack adds continuously controlled adjustable dampers, and while the ST feels firm and compliant in Normal mode, in the sportier setting body control is even tighter.

The steering is fast and precise but not full of feel, although the front axle is sharp enough to easily keep up. The ST’s adjustability means you can use a little lift of the throttle in corners to tighten the car’s line. And at £34,960, it’s relatively well priced compared with rival models.

John_McIlroy@autovia.co.uk @johnmcilroy

CITROEN has been making decent gains with its smaller electrified offering, the e-C4 raised-up family hatchback. But the company’s plug-in hybrid SUV, the C5 Aircross, is still a significant model that aims to bridge the gap between combustion and fully electric power. It’s an important transition technology for customers who don’t yet want to take the plunge with an EV. And now, nearly four years after its launch, it’s been treated to a facelift.

It’s a reasonably extensive one, on the surface, featuring new plastic panels – think front grille and both bumpers – along with new headlights. This is standard fare for a mid-life update, but in the case of the C5 Aircross it does give the car a sharper look – one that’s much more in tune with that of the company’s new flagship, the C5 X. Inside the car, there’s been a bigger transformation – one that has extended to a change of dashboard, in fact. As well as

26 20 July 2022

some plusher materials in key areas, the C5 Aircross gets a new 10-inch infotainment screen, although it’s worth pointing out that while its hardware matches that of the C5 X, under the skin it’s running the more dated software from the C4. It’s a shame, as a result, that the dashboard redesign couldn’t have incorporated physical temperature and ventilation controls; you still have to press an on-screen button to access them.

The PHEV sits at the top of the C5 Aircross range, but for now at least, the mechanical make-up hasn’t changed from the original car’s. That means you still get a 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, coupled with a 107bhp electric motor for a combined 222bhp and 360Nm of torque – respectable figures for a car of this size.

The battery capacity is 13.2kWh, which is enough, Citroen says, for up to 38 miles of electric-only running, and home-wallbox recharge times of around two hours. That range is significant, though, because it places this car in the 12 per cent band for company-car Benefit-in-Kind tax – the same

as the Hyundai Tucson in this week’s test (page 32), but four per cent higher than the all-new plug-in hybrid Kia Sportage.

On the road there’s enough power from the electric motor to take you to the national speed limit on electricity alone, and while the eight-speed automatic gearbox isn’t entirely foolproof, the set-up generally does a good job of flicking between electric and petrol power. The combustion engine spins smoothly, so if you take a relaxed approach, then there should be enough performance here for refined, swift progress.

The chassis will thank you for such an attitude too, because as with all Citroens these days, it’s resolutely focused on comfort. It features Citroen’s Progressive Hydraulic Cushions – a brand name for fancy bump-stops – and a more complex multi-link set-up at the rear than you’ll find on petrol and diesel-powered versions of the C5 Aircross.

The suspension does a particularly good job around town of massaging out

the worst road imperfections. Higherfrequency, sharper scars remain a weak spot, though, pushing the C5 Aircross beyond its comfort zone and window of capability, allowing thunks through to the cabin. Body control remains tight enough, though, so on smoother, flowing roads the PHEV feels comfortable and composed – exactly what a family SUV needs to deliver.

The cabin has enough room for four adults, and while you do take a hit in boot space to accommodate the PHEV tech, the capacity is still a useful 460 litres – with room below the floor for charging cables.

The PHEV is restricted to the upper two trim levels, so you can forget about the usual entry point, Sense Plus, and focus on either Shine or the C-Series Edition. We’d look towards the first of these, because it features plenty of appealing kit, including 18-inch alloys, dual-zone climate control, a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, the 10-inch infotainment screen, Alcantara seat trim and adaptive cruise control.

Verdict THE Citroen C5 Aircross PHEV is a solid enough package overall, but its average BiK rating will probably be a dealbreaker for many user-choosers. Indeed, with Citroen sources saying that a version capable of more than 40 miles of EV running – and the resulting lower tax hit – could well be in showrooms by the end of the year, it’s pretty hard to make too strong a case for a vehicle that, updates notwithstanding, feels like something of a stopgap.

NEWCARS Porsche 911 Sport Classic

Porsche 911 Sport Classic

FIRST DRIVE Bespoke coupé from Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur wing is a special 911 Stuart Gallagher

WIND the clock back to 2009 and Porsche’s first 911 Sport Classic, and you’ll find a very special bespoke 911 built in low numbers that offered a unique package of retro design with some very impressive performance credentials. Now Porsche is at it again with the 992-based Sport Classic, albeit this time upping the production run by 1,000 units, to 1,250 cars overall.

The firm’s Exclusive Manufaktur department has gone to great lengths in creating this new Sport Classic. Tucked beneath the ducktail rear spoiler, which generates 50kg of downforce at more than 180mph, is a full-width opening to feed the detuned 3.7-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six motor from the 911 Turbo that drives the rear wheels only here.

The 911 Turbo donates a few other bits to the Sport Classic, too, much of it modified to suit the car’s mechanical, aerodynamic and design requirements. The rear wings start life as Turbo items, but don’t feature

that car’s large air intakes, requiring Porsche to use the tooling it usually reserves for manufacturing parts for its pre-production cars to create these bespoke panels. A fair chunk of carbon fibre is also used for the body, specifically the bonnet and roof, the former complete with a ‘double-bubble’ effect and a pair of hand-painted stripes.

Inside, it’s a riot of houndstooth and tan leather, tightly stitched to every surface, with subtle natural wood strips throughout.

It feels special, bespoke and very different to any contemporary Carrera model (but some of the interior upgrades are also available on current 911 models), just as a GT3 does.

There are three pedals, and a lever protrudes from the centre console; like its forebear, the new Sport Classic is manual only, this time using the seven-speed unit

that’s available in the Carrera S and GTS rather than the six-speed gearbox in the GT3. The engine’s tweaks and tuning mean it produces 542bhp and 600Nm of torque.

Despite being detuned, it keeps that slightly gruff, harder-edged note of the big Turbo engine, delivering a deeper underlying tone.

There’s a lightness to the clutch that can catch you unawares at low speeds, and you can drive using every other gear, such is the reserve of torque. If you only skim the surface, you might feel the Sport Classic feels more an extension of the Carrera trim line rather than something that claims to be a cut above a GTS. But time and miles allow the Sport Classic’s character to bubble to the surface and its personality to charm you.

It’s not that it wants to be thrown at every braking point so that the standard carbon-

“The SC is not as explosive as a Turbo, but it’s noticeably more responsive than a Carrera”

ceramic set-up starts to sweat, nor launched out of every corner with a bootful of throttle, but the more you begin to enjoy its wide performance band, the more characterful and engaging the SC becomes.

More detailed and natural steering than a Carrera puts you at ease and with each corner you lean more on its hybrid tune of GTS and Turbo when it comes to the chassis and adaptive suspension set-up, reaching the point where the car rotates neatly around your hips as you cut through an apex. It’s not as explosive as a Turbo, lacking that violent shove of acceleration, but it’s noticeably more responsive than a Carrera and a more nuanced 911 as a result.

The SC not only looks special, but also has a unique character. It’s more a GT car in the traditional sense, which some might not be expecting, especially when the £214,200 price is considered. But you can spec a Carrera GTS to more than £150,000 and a Turbo close to £200,000, and neither offer the full bespoke nature of the Sport Classic.

NEWCARS Volkswagen T-Roc

Volkswagen T-Roc FIRST DRIVE Subtle but welcome updates for big-selling SUV Alex Ingram

Alex_Ingram@autovia.co.uk @AxleIngram

THE T-Roc has been a booming success for Volkswagen. More than one million of these compact SUVs have been shifted since its launch just five years ago, but with ever-strengthening competition, VW has seen fit to give one of its most popular models a nip and tuck for 2022.

The bulk of the styling changes for the chunky-looking T-Roc focus on the lighting.

All models now get LED tech at the front, while the grille takes inspiration from the latest Polo and Golf, with a slim LED strip that spans the headlights. The rear lights get scrolling indicators, while the wheel designs have been refreshed, too.

Inside, there are more significant changes. The most obvious is in the centre of the dashboard, where the layout has been reconfigured to squeeze in a new, larger, ‘floating’ touchscreen. The eight-inch display comes with 3D-effect navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a pair of USB-C ports; there are two more in the rear for back-seat passengers.

Overall quality seems better, with the dash covered in a softer plastic than before, and the touch points all feel nice. Lower down on the dash, the old physical switches for the climate controls are gone, and in their place is a set of touch-sensitive keys. If you

PRACTICALITY At 445 litres, the boot space is a fair size and larger than the load capacity in VW’s Golf family hatchback. A movable floor adds a little bit of versatility too, while the rear seats offer plenty of room and easy access

EQUIPMENT Sporty R-Line trim is on the pricier side, but features design touches that add an extra dash of style, including chunky 17-inch alloys, a sportier bodykit and bright silver exterior trim for a sharp look

want to adjust the temperature or the fan speed, you can either swipe or tap to do so, but the keys aren’t very easy to use. Along with the new haptic buttons on the steering wheel, it feels like a change made purely for aesthetics rather than for functionality.

At least it’s hard to fault the T-Roc’s practicality. Although a Golf is 45mm longer than the SUV, the T-Roc’s higher roof means that it’s more spacious than the hatch. Rear headroom and knee room are both good, while the 445-litre boot is 64 litres up on a Golf’s. There’s a movable floor, too, which allows you to choose between having a level load lip or maximising the space.

Little has changed about how the T-Roc drives, which means buyers get the same solid, reassuring feel that’s typical of pretty much any current VW. The steering is precise and fairly light, so it’s an easy car to drive in town, while it goes, steers and handles competently, with plenty of grip. Plus, it feels stable and reassuring at motorway speeds.

Our test car also had adaptive dampers.

They’re a £1,065 option, and at their best in

the softer setting. In this mode, the T-Roc is slightly more comfortable than on its standard passive dampers, whereas the firmer setting takes away some comfort without significantly improving body control.

However, we’d recommend saving the cash and sticking with the standard set-up.

The T-Roc’s tried and tested 148bhp 1.5-litre TSI engine is nicely refined, pulls strongly and offers plenty of performance.

It’s probably more power than you’ll need in a car like this, but its claimed economy of 46.3mpg is impressive and hardly any different to the 1.0 TSI unit – despite offering 40bhp more – so we wouldn’t discourage anyone from taking this more potent option.

We achieved high thirties/low forties mpg around town, and reached as much as 50mpg at a steady motorway cruise.

It’s a shame that the DSG gearbox isn’t quite up to the same high standards. It’s mostly okay, but when manoeuvring at low speed – particularly in reverse – it’s jerky.

We’d stick with the sweet six-speed manual, which is where the final issue comes in.

This 1.5 TSI DSG T-Roc R-Line starts at £33,095. With options, including the matrix LED headlights (£1,650), a panoramic roof (£1,150), a very underwhelming Beats hi-fi (£470) plus those adaptive dampers, among others, the price jumps to £38,080.

We’re really not convinced that the T-Roc feels special enough to justify that.

While we think some of the cabin features have taken a step back, there’s still plenty to like about the T-Roc overall. Be careful with options, though, because they can push the car to a point where it seems quite pricey.

IF you’re looking for a family car with low running costs, then there are plenty of electric SUVs to consider. However, not everybody is convinced that a full EV can fit with their lifestyle, which is where the plug-in hybrid SUV comes in.

These machines deliver zero-emissions electric running for short trips, but there’s the backup of a combustion engine that allows you to plan longer journeys without the anxiety of wondering whether you’ll be able to charge up en route.

We’ve rounded up 10 of the best plug-in hybrid SUVs for sale, starting on Page 44. But here we’ve lined up two more models that are well worth considering: the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage.

The Sportage is the newer car, having only been launched earlier this year, but these two have a lot in common because they share the same platform, running gear, in-car tech and plug-in hybrid drivetrain. Picking a winner from the pair will be about the details, so we’ve looked closely at practicality, prices and running costs to determine which plug-in hybrid SUV will deliver the best all-round performance for family needs.

WHILE these two cars rely on the same basic platform and powertrain layout, there are subtle differences in the way that they drive, with the Sportage offering a slightly firmer ride than its rival.

It’s a common characteristic we’ve seen from other platform-sharing models from Hyundai and Kia – the electric EV6 has a sportier set-up than the Ioniq 5, for example – but here a firmer ride doesn’t translate into a more involving driving experience.

In fact, comfort is still the overriding nature of the Sportage, it’s just that the Tucson is softer still. Some of the firmness can be put down to the Sportage’s 19-inch alloy wheels, which are fitted as standard whichever trim level that you choose.

Light controls mean that the Kia is a breeze to drive, and the powertrain is smooth, too. In all-electric mode the car is quiet, while the petrol engine cuts in with the minimum of fuss, with no shunt from the transmission and not much in the way of noise from under the bonnet, either. We did

OVERALL, the latest Kia Sportage is a fairly conventional SUV shape, but it’s marked out by some distinctive detailing. The broad grille and small, angular headlight units offer a talking point, while at the rear the tailgate design is reminiscent of the all-electric EV6, with the number plate set low and an expanse of bodywork separating the triangular tail-lamp clusters.

Plug-in hybrid models are a compromise, but the larger body used by a family SUV means there’s more scope to fit everything in without spoiling practicality. The Kia and Hyundai feature the same plug-in hybrid powertrain, which comprises a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, a 90bhp electric motor and a 13.8kWh battery pack.

This set-up has a total output of 261bhp and 350Nm of torque, which is handled by a conventional six-speed automatic gearbox – non-hybrid versions of the Sportage feature a seven-speed twin-clutch transmission instead. Drive is sent to all four wheels.

The PHEV model is roughly 200kg heavier than any other four-wheel-drive Sportage (most of which is down to the 140kg battery), while its maximum towing weight is 300kg lower, too. However, because the battery is located beneath the cabin, there’s no compromise in terms of passenger space.

That interior looks neat, feels well built and is logically laid out, and is one area where the Kia and Hyundai differ significantly. The Sportage’s dualscreen dashboard features 12.3-inch displays for the dials and touchscreen, while a touch-sensitive panel below the main screen switches between climate and infotainment controls. This is a neat solution that reduces the number of buttons on the dash without relegating everything to the screen.

AS already mentioned, fitting a plug-in hybrid drivetrain hasn’t affected the Sportage’s versatility, and it’s impossible to tell the difference between the PHEV and the standard car from within the cabin. There’s plenty of space for all passengers, while up front there’s loads of storage space and the controls are all easy to use.

In the back, the Sportage’s bench is set lower than the Hyundai’s, but in no way does it feel cramped. There’s a bit less kneeroom because the front seat backs aren’t as heavily sculpted as they are in the Hyundai, but there aren’t really any complaints about the amount of room on offer. And besides, the handy USB-C sockets in the sides of the front seats and useful hook-shaped headrests boost the Sportage’s versatility further.

That’s good, because boot space isn’t quite a match for the Tucson’s. There’s 540 litres of space in the Kia, compared with 558 litres in the Hyundai, although the Tucson does have a multi-position seat back and this capacity is with it in the fully upright position.

Levers set into the side of the cargo area mean it’s easy to fold the seat backs to create a flat cargo area in both cars, but again the Tucson has a slight advantage, with 1,737 litres of space, compared with 1,715 litres in the Sportage.

IN the contest to offer the best new-car warranty, Hyundai and Kia have both had the measure of their rivals. While some makers can now match Hyundai’s five-year coverage and a couple can even mirror Kia’s seven years of cover, the two Korean firms led the change.

Factor in the 100,000-mile limit, and that means you can cover just over 14,000 miles a year and still get the full seven years of coverage. If you do more miles in a year, then Hyundai’s unlimited mileage limit might be more attractive.

IF you want the lowest running costs with these two cars, then you’ll need to charge them regularly. Both models take around an hour and three-quarters to recharge from a 7kW wallbox, while a three-pin plug can do the job overnight in around five and half hours.

While Kia quotes a range of 43 miles under WLTP conditions, the best we saw from the trip computer (in mild temperatures) was 35 miles. Hyundai quotes a WLTP range that’s only five miles shorter, at 38 miles, but again the figure we saw during our time with the Tucson was a little lower.

THESE two plug-in hybrids are around 200kg heavier than their conventional petrol or hybrid alternatives, but both models are the most powerful offerings in their respective ranges, and the extra weight doesn’t really have much of an impact on the way that they perform.

The instant delivery of the electric motor works to fill in any gaps in acceleration that may occur as the petrol engine gets up to speed, and a 0-62mph time of 8.6 seconds for the Tucson will be fast enough for most buyers. There’s a setting that allows you to prioritise electric-only running, but we found it best to let the car’s electronics look after the energy management, because doing so optimises power use for your needs, and it fits in with the Tucson’s character as a relaxing SUV. The Hyundai’s suspension is ever-so slightly softer than the Kia’s, and both cars do a good job of ironing out bumps so that lumps are heard more than they’re felt, but there was a tendency for the Tucson to fidget when travelling at around 30mph.

WHILE the Tucson and Sportage share lots of technology and hardware under the skin – they are the same width and share the same wheelbase, for instance – their different looks could be enough to swing buyers to one model or the other. In our eyes, the Tucson looks smart; those segmented headlights are distinctive, while the sharp creases of the bodywork emulate those of the electric Ioniq 5. The rear has hints of the Ford Mustang Mach-E, although having the Hyundai badge at the base of the rear screen with the wiper tucked away under the roof spoiler seems like it’s been added as a bit of an afterthought.

Inside is where you’ll find the most significant differences between the Tucson and the Sportage.

The Hyundai has been around for longer than the Kia, so isn’t quite at the cutting edge of offering the biggest screens available, and it features two 10.25-inch displays. While the Sportage’s larger displays are lined up next to each other to create a widescreen layout, the Tucson’s are separated by the T-shaped design of the centre console. This features a push-button drive selector and two rows of touch-sensitive controls to the top and bottom of the climate control screen.

Both cars feature off-road modes to make the most of their respective four-wheel drive systems, with settings for snow, mud and sand, as well as hill descent control. However, neither car is really designed for tackling tough terrain, especially since these plug-in versions feature larger 19-inch wheels and lower profile tyres than other models in their ranges.

THERE are subtle differences in terms of cabin storage between these two.

Where the Sportage has a lidded cubby ahead of its rotary drive selector, the Tucson has an open tray, although this does make it easier to leave a smartphone on the wireless charging pad. Both cars have handy cup-holders on the centre console, while glovebox storage is fine, too.

In the back, the Hyundai has a higher seating position, while the seat backs can be set upright to maximise boot space, or reclined so that passengers can relax. As with the Sportage, the plug-in version of the Tucson comes with three-zone climate control as standard, and the rear switches are located on the back of the centre console, where you’ll also find a pair of USB sockets. This top-spec Ultimate model also comes with window blinds that are built into the doors. These are a handy feature to keep the rear cabin shaded (there are tinted rear windows, too, though), but the blinds are a little fiddly to hook into place when in use.

On top of this, the Tucson Ultimate can be upgraded with the £1,500 Tech Pack, which adds 360-degree cameras, remote park assist (where you can move the car back and forth from outside the vehicle) and blind-spot monitoring. This latter set-up sees a live camera view broadcast to the driver’s display when the indicators are activated, and is a useful extra check when changing lanes.

THE Tucson’s 38-mile all-electric range makes all the difference when it comes to company car costs. It’s five miles less than the Sportage’s quoted range, but it means that these two models sit in different Benefit-in-Kind brackets.

As a result, a higher-rate taxpayer will pay £2,032 a year for the Tucson, compared with an annual bill of £1,360 for the Sportage.

AS with the Sportage, the Tucson PHEV isn’t offered in entry-level trim, but comes in all other guises: N Line, N Line S, Premium and Ultimate. In addition, Hyundai is offering a healthy £1,250 deposit contribution when compared with Kia’s £500 incentive.

Based on the same three-year/£4,000 deposit/10,000-mile annual lease deal as the Sportage, the N Line version is £551 a month and features sportier looks, heated front seats, auto lights and wipers, all-round parking sensors and a camera, twin 10.25inch screens and wireless phone charging.

Premium trim has the same list price as N Line, but costs £565 a month on a PCP, and adds a Krell stereo, blind-spot detection and a heated steering wheel.

Choose N Line S, and there’s a sunroof, three-zone climate control and a powered tailgate, and it costs £587 a month. The top-spec Ultimate has all the kit you could ask for, and in most instances matches the GT-Line S for kit, but costs £615 a month.

THE Sportage’s twin-screen layout uses bigger displays than the Tucson’s dashboard, and their position next to each other creates a large curved layout that’s set high on the dashboard. The shape of the screens means that there are no issues with funny reflections, while the displays are sharp with crisp graphics.

The menu system is logically laid out, and we like the purple colour theme that comes as standard, although this is configurable in a sub-menu. You can also turn down the brightness of the screens so that they don’t cause glare at night.

Loading times are fast, while the mapping is clear and logical, too. Kia provides seven years of live services to match the car’s warranty, while downloading Kia’s smartphone app gives owners remote control of the car’s systems.

BEFORE the Sportage arrived, the Tucson’s twin 10.25-inch screens were an impressive piece of kit.

They’re still good to use, it’s just that the Kia’s layout, with its larger on-screen controls, is easier to operate, especially when you’re on the move. We also prefer the Kia’s dual-mode control strip below the main touchscreen – it’s a simple solution that means it has fewer buttons on the dash. The Kia also offers a shelf for you to rest your wrist when using the touchscreen, which is something that the Hyundai lacks.

Still, since the Tucson uses the same basic operating system as the Kia, the way it works is just as effective, with fast loading times and crystal-clear graphics. The only major difference (apart from screen size) is that Hyundai uses a pale blue theme for its screens instead of Kia’s purple highlights. Both cars feature gloss-black dashboard trim that will pick up marks easily, though.

THERE really isn’t very much in it between these two, and both cars are excellent choices if you want a plug-in hybrid SUV. However, the Sportage has a marginally better electric range, a slightly more user-friendly dashboard layout, a better selection of standard kit in 4 trim and offers lower company car costs, so that means it edges ahead by the tiniest of margins.

HYUNDAI and Kia are famous for kitting out their mainstream cars with the kind of equipment that is normally the reserve of luxury models, and there are plenty of neat features in both of these cars.

The Sportage’s infotainment can be set up to play ambient sounds, such as a rainy day, waves crashing on a beach or even a crackling log fire, all designed to offer a more relaxing atmosphere inside.

FRONTS are climate seats in Ultimate spec, while outer rears are heated.

Sportage in 4 trim just has four heated seats.

WE wouldn’t blame you if you chose the Tucson over the Sportage, because it’s still an excellent plug-in hybrid SUV. Some people will prefer the looks of the Hyundai, while boot capacity is also better than in its rival here. Our perfect option would be to choose the Tucson’s body, but with the Sportage’s dashboard and marginally better running costs.

CHARGING BOTH cars feature the same 7.2kW charging system, so they take the same amount of time to recharge. Kia has partnered with PodPoint and BP Pulse to offer discounted home wallboxes, which is ideal to keep the Sportage topped up when parked overnight.

Hyundai doesn’t have any wallbox discounts, but it does offer the Charge myHyundai account, which allows owners to access public chargers but pay a discounted rate.

10 BEST PLUG-IN HYBRID SUVs

If the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson don’t tempt you, these 10 PHEVs could well turn you on to electrification Alex

Ingram Chief reviewer Alex_Ingram@autovia.co.uk

ON the previous pages we’ve seen two of the most compelling plug-in hybrid SUVs on sale today face off against one another. But in the last couple of years, there has been an explosion of choice – and not just in terms of direct competition to the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage. Here we’re rounding up 10 of the best plug-in hybrid SUVs – at the more modest and the more luxurious ends of the spectrum.

The aim is always the same, however; use electric energy to reap the zero-emission benefits of a full EV on short journeys, while retaining the flexibility of being able to refuel a combustion engine whenever you need to.

Although we quote official economy figures, it’s best to take them with a pinch of salt; you might match them, but many drivers will see lower figures. Still, with regular charging, PHEVs should beat equivalent diesel models and create far fewer emissions, particularly in urban areas. Plus, as we’ll show on Page 46, company car drivers can see an even bigger benefit.

Prices: £37,755-£40,155 Powertrain: 2.5-litre petrol/e-motor, 14.4kWh battery, 222bhp EV Range: 28-39 miles Economy: 251.8-282.5mpg CO2: 23-25g/km 0-62mph: 9.2 seconds Trims: ST-Line Edition, ST-Line X Edition, Vignale THROUGHOUT its range, the Ford Kuga majors on strong equipment levels backed up by great value for money, and the plug-in hybrid variant is no different. With prices for the ST-Line Edition starting from £37,755, it undercuts the least expensive Tucson in our test by just under two grand. Standard kit includes 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, electrically adjustable front seats and a punchy B&O audio system.

On top of that, the Kuga handles sharply, yet its supple suspension deals with bumps admirably, while the cabin offers plenty of space for passengers and luggage.

The engine is a little noisy when it kicks in, and the CVT causes some slightly unpleasant revving if you decide to make the most of the performance – something that is slightly lacking relative to key PHEV rivals. Still, the Kuga has official fuel consumption of up to 282.5mpg. What you get will depend on how regularly you keep the battery topped up – a process that takes a little over three hours via a home wallbox, or six with a three-pin plug.

OUR CHOICE F-Pace P400e R-Dynamic SE

ONE disadvantage of plug-in hybrids is that they’re relatively heavy cars. Carrying a combustion engine and a battery will pile on the pounds, and that often means that they’re not the most fun things to drive.

Not so the Jaguar F-Pace P400e. Sure, it’s not quite as responsive as the regular petrol models, but Jaguar’s engineers have done a fantastic job of disguising that extra mass, delivering a plug-in SUV that’s engaging to drive, with a neutral handling balance and sharp, well weighted steering.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which is teamed up with an electric motor for a combined output of 398bhp. The resulting 0-62mph time of 5.3 seconds makes the P400e the quickest-accelerating car in our top 10.

The F-Pace has another ace up its sleeve, too.

Most PHEVs can only accept AC charging through a Type 2 socket, but the Jaguar is available with 50kW DC charging through a CCS connection. That means it’s possible to top up the battery from 0-80 per cent in about 30 minutes – so you can benefit from more of that zero-emission range even on longer journeys.

“Unlike most PHEVs, the Jaguar is available with 50kW DC charging”

OUR CHOICE Defender P400e X-Dynamic

WHILE the Jaguar side of JLR makes one of the most engaging PHEV SUVs to drive (above), its colleagues over at Land Rover make one of the most practical and rugged, in the form of the Defender P400e.

Land Rover had a tough task when it came to replacing its iconic Defender. Pushing the new model in a more luxurious direction might not have been what the die-hard purists wanted, but it’s a fantastic machine nonetheless.

At 5,018mm long, 2,008mm wide and 1,967mm tall, and weighing comfortably over two tonnes, the Defender is never going to win any efficiency awards – but the P400e plug-in model at least gives it a fighting chance. The Land Rover’s powertrain is shared with the F-Pace P400e, so that means a hefty 398bhp and 640Nm of torque. Performance is strong, and there’s scope for up to 32 miles of electric range between charges. So depending on the type of journey you’re taking, you might just be able to reach mpg figures as lofty as the driving position.

Sitting as high as many van drivers, you’re granted a commanding view of the road in the Defender, a vantage point which also gives you a great view of the dashboard’s contemporary yet industrial-looking layout. The infotainment system is great, while further back, there are few other plug-in hybrids that are quite so spacious.

Striking and distinctive from pretty much any angle, Peugeot’s creation is a car that really manages to stand out in one of the busiest segments of the new-car market.

It’s at its best on the inside, though, where the dashboard looks more concept car than production reality. The quality feels a cut above almost anything else in the segment, too. In many areas, it can even

run some premium SUV contenders close for finish and materials.

The small steering wheel – part of the i-Cockpit layout, which puts the dials above the wheel rim – might take a little getting used to, but the steering is very light, so it’s easy to drive in town. The 3008 is great on the open road, too, but it’s the tech under the skin that we’re most interested in here.

Two plug-in hybrid models are available.

Although the top-spec Hybrid4, complete

with two motors, four-wheel drive and a total output of 296bhp, has a cracking turn of speed, we’d stick with the lesser, singlemotor variant. With 222bhp, it’s still more than quick enough for everyday use.

In electric mode, the 3008 can run up to motorway speeds without needing to call on the 1.6-litre petrol engine’s help, so with regular charging it’s possible to really cut the costs of a daily commute compared with a standard petrol or diesel model.

3008 Hybrid Allure Premium

“Peugeot’s creation is a car that manages to stand out in one of the busiest segments of the new-car market”

What does a PHEV do to your tax bill?

COMPANY car tax ratings have been calculated in many different ways over the years. Currently, they’re based on CO2 emissions, meaning that cars emitting the smallest quantities from the tailpipe are all the more tempting thanks to minimal Benefit in Kind (BiK) tax deductions.

Conversely, those spewing out the most will be subject to higher deductions.

The figure is calculated by multiplying a car’s P11D value by the BiK rating, then

by the employee’s income tax rate (20 or 40 per cent – we use the latter here).

We can make a direct comparison thanks to the Kia Niro, which is available in conventional hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric configurations. We’ll use the mid-spec 3 trim for these figures.

The standard hybrid Niro has fairly low emissions for a combustion car, at 105g/km of CO2. That puts it into the 25 per cent BiK band, so combined with a P11D value of

£30,280, a 40 per cent income taxpayer will face annual deductions of £3,028.

However, the PHEV’s emissions of 21g/km and a range of 40 miles in EV mode sneak it into the eight per cent band. Despite its higher P11D value of £35,470, the lower rating means deductions of just £1,135.

The fully electric version is cheaper still.

It’s in the two per cent band, so combined with its P11D value (£37,690), this means annual deductions are just £302.

OUR CHOICE Grandland Hybrid-e GS Line

UNDER the skin, the Vauxhall Grandland Hybrid-e is mechanically similar to the 3008 (opposite), but we’re giving the nod to the Grandland here because as it stands, the version we’d go for is very slightly cheaper than its French counterpart on finance.

While the Grandland made its debut back in 2017, recent updates have really boosted its appeal – and we’re not just talking about the handsome new front end. The spacious cabin gains a refreshed and better-finished dashboard, plus it benefits from improved infotainment and safety tech. Top-spec models come with a 360-degree parking camera, blind-spot monitoring and LED matrix headlights.

The 1.6-litre petrol engine works in harmony with the electrical set-up. Officially, the car covers the 0-62mph dash in 8.9 seconds, achieves 192mpg, and its 13.2kWh battery is good for 39 miles on a charge.

The suspension is slightly firmer than the Peugeot’s which, combined with marginally less assisted steering (through a regular-sized wheel) makes the Vauxhall a little more enjoyable to drive – albeit less smooth-riding than the 3008.

OUR CHOICE GLA 250 e AMG Line Premium Executive

GIVEN that efficiency is at the heart of why plug-in hybrids exist, installing the complex tech into a large, heavy SUV seems at odds with the whole point. But thanks to the Mercedes GLA 250 e, it’s possible to drive a relatively compact PHEV, yet still benefit from all the technology and luxury that buyers of larger, posher SUVs demand.

To that end, Mercedes has crammed some fabulous infotainment tech into the GLA; a pair of gorgeous hi-res displays sit in front of the driver, and on some models these feature an augmented-reality navigation system, which guides you through your next junction with arrows superimposed onto images from a front-mounted camera in real time.

What’s under the skin is just as advanced, too.

The GLA 250 e’s combustion element is taken care of by a 158bhp 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine, but that needn’t be called into action too often, because the electric motor makes 101bhp on its own. In other words, over the 39 miles or so that can be driven in EV mode you still have more than enough pace to keep up with commuter traffic.

When you need more, petrol and electric work together to give a 0-62mph time of 7.1 seconds.

Beyond that, the GLA rides and handles well, has plenty of space inside, and comes with the added draw of that three-pointed star on the nose.

WE’VE just seen in our test that the Kia Sportage is one of the best plug-in SUVs, but the Korean giant also offers buyers a slightly smaller – and even more frugal – option.

Step forward the Niro, now in its second generation. The Korean brand has worked hard to improve this latest version in several key areas – and it has succeeded.

A more contemporary, eye-catching exterior clothes a new platform below – one which has allowed Kia to up the ante on the plug-in hybrid system. The new model’s battery rises from 8.9kWh in its predecessor to 11.1kWh here – good for a 40-mile range in pure-electric mode. Meanwhile, the electric motor has also been upgraded; the 83bhp unit works alongside a 1.6-litre petrol engine that’s largely similar to the outgoing model’s, giving a 180bhp output compared with the old car’s 139bhp.

The hybrid system is smooth, the Niro rides well, and the electric motor means that progress is not only silent for extended periods, but performance is sprightly, too.

In contrast to the original Niro, the latest model also has a cabin with a modern

Many of its elements have taken their inspiration from the brand’s slick all-electric EV6 family car – in particular, the two-spoke steering wheel, the pair of large digital displays, and the dual-function touch panel, which doubles as both the climate control and shortcuts for the infotainment.

The cabin is more accommodating than before – rear kneeroom isn’t far short of what’s on offer in the Sportage – although the battery location towards the back means that the boot is a little small at 348 litres.

If the PHEV powertrain isn’t quite right for you, the Niro line-up is unique among this top 10 by offering buyers the choice of conventional hybrid and fully electric powertrain options, too.

However, we reckon it’s at its very best in xDrive45e form.

The powertrain is something of a masterpiece and, in some ways, quite a rarity in PHEV terms. For the electric part, BMW has fitted a 111bhp electric motor, but it draws its energy from a whopping 24kWh battery – the same capacity as the unit fitted to the original Nissan Leaf EV. On a good day, that means you can expect a zero-emission mileage in the high forties (the official WLTP range is 50-54 miles). That figure is far more than in many other plug in-rivals, so you’ll need to call on the petrol engine much less often – and use much less fuel – as a result. It’s particularly worth thinking about this if you plan to do many longer journeys, because it really helps to trim your petrol costs.

It’s almost a shame that the petrol engine sits on the sidelines as much as it does,

OUR CHOICE X5 xDrive45e M Sport

though, because it’s an absolute peach.

While many PHEVs make do with a small four-cylinder engine, there’s no such compromise here; the xDrive45e gets a turbocharged 3.0-litre petrol unit.

When this is working in harmony with the electric motor, the X5 offers up a heavyhitting 389bhp – enough for a 5.6-second 0-62mph time accompanied by a rich sixcylinder soundtrack that’s befitting of a luxurious vehicle such as this.

All of the usual X5 strengths apply in this plug-in model, too. It offers a fabulously comfortable ride, but this does not come at the expense of body control, because it behaves impeccably through the turns.

The hushed cabin is a wonderfully relaxing place to while away longer trips; there’s also acres of space inside, and the whole package is backed up by a flawless infotainment system and superb build quality. If money is no object, this is one of the finest SUV all-rounders on the market.

WE can’t think of many cars that have improved from one generation to the next more than the Lexus NX. The sharp styling might be familiar, but the transformation of the interior design, cabin space and particularly the infotainment tech means that the NX changed from an also ran to winner of the Best Mid-size Premium SUV title at our 2022 New Car Awards, seeing off the challenge from SUV big-hitters such as the BMW X3 and Jaguar F-Pace.

Here, a 2.5-litre petrol engine is mated to not one, but two electric motors to produce a hefty 302bhp. That’s enough for a very rapid 0-62mph time of six seconds flat.

But what’s really apparent with the NX is that the brand’s conventional hybrid knowhow really shines through.

While some plug-in hybrid rivals remain frugal when the battery is topped up, but can only struggle to underwhelming mpg figures once it’s depleted, the NX 450h+ switches between petrol and electric as efficiently as its conventional hybrid counterparts. In other words, it’s still possible to get close to 50mpg with a

Refinement is also fantastic. The Lexus is cosseting, the ride is smooth, and the cabin remains impressively peaceful; even our traditional gripe about the e-CVT causing the engine revs to rise unnaturally and unpleasantly is barely a problem here, because the e-motors have so much power that the engine rarely needs to be stretched.

No doubt, this is one of the most compelling cars Lexus has built in a long time.

And all that complexity needn’t come with any worry, because Lexus consistently delivers excellent reliability – backed by solid Driver Power results over the years.

Keep up with servicing at a main dealer, and the warranty will run for as long as 10 years.

THECOUNTDOWN

1 Toyota RAV4

Prices: £44,140-£45,755 Powertrain: 2.5-litre petrol/2x e-motor, 18.1kWh battery, 302bhp EV Range: 46 miles Economy: 282.2-282.4mpg CO2: 22g/km 0-62mph: 6.0 seconds Trims: Design, Dynamic THE RAV4 is a great all-rounder in the family SUV segment, and we reckon it’s at its most attractive with a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

On paper, the stats will look quite surprising for those who are used to Toyota’s sensible hybrids. Mechanically, it’s very similar to the NX 450h+ (left); that means 300bhp-plus and acceleration that wouldn’t feel out of place in a hot hatchback. It’s even quite fun to drive, with decent body control, precise and well weighted steering and a well judged ride that’s as suited to rough urban roads as long distance cruises.

The transition between electric and petrol is as seamless as you’ll find in any hybrid on the market, and its twin-motor layout gives plenty of power, even without the aid of the petrol engine; in other words, you don’t feel as if there’s any compromise to the driving experience whatsoever.

But there’s a much greater benefit to the RAV4’s powertrain. An 18.1kWh battery housed under that angular bodywork results

OUR CHOICE RAV4 PHEV Design

in a very impressive WLTP-rated all-electric range of 46 miles and CO2 emissions of 22g/km. For company car users, that means a Benefit-in-Kind rate of eight per cent; as our twin test proves, some rivals can’t quite breach that 40-mile electric range mark, so they fall into the higher 12 per cent band and are pricier to run as a result.

There are two trim levels to choose from, both of which are very generously equipped.

The Design model comes with 18-inch wheels, a nine-inch display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and even heated seats in the back. For an extra £1,615 Dynamic adds the likes of 19-inch alloys, twotone paint and wireless phone charging.

It’s not only laden with kit, but the RAV4 is practical, too. Head and kneeroom in the back are generous, the floor is flat so there’s plenty of space for feet, and while the boot is slightly smaller than the regular hybrid RAV4’s, it’s still a vast 520 litres. SUV or not, this is one of the best PHEVs around.

OUR CARS Living with an Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio Sean Carson

sean_carson@autovia.co.uk

I WAS never really a fan of dinosaurs when I was younger. However, my inner palaeontologist has broken out recently, since I’ve been living with the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.

In my last report I said I wasn’t big on grand, romantic gestures, but that I’d fallen for the Alfa. That is still true. Running it has done nothing to disrupt my infatuation for the car, but the more I drive it – and fill it up at the petrol station – the more I feel like I’m living with a bit of a dinosaur, and that the Giulia Quadrifoglio and cars of its type are destined to become fossils.

Increasingly, modern cars that I drive are either fully electric or have a heavy electrified element, so the pure-petrol Giulia, with its punchy turbocharged engine, feels like a dying breed. I get a kick every time I drive it; if you’re any sort of car enthusiast, it makes you realise how much we’ll miss something as simple as a gearchange, for example.

I love the bassy growl from the exhaust and the cracks on upshifts in Race mode, but from a political and social point of view it feels like the world won’t stomach cars like the Quadrifoglio all that much longer.

But while I feel the beady eye of society gazing upon me when I floor it, and then fill the Alfa up 280 miles or so after I did the last time, I’ll still mourn the Giulia Quadrifoglio when it’s gone.

System

What I won’t be sad to see the back of is the Alfa’s voice control system. I once ran a BMW 3 Series that had a very decent stab at making this tech work, but the Alfa is a mile off. It takes a while to fire up once you’ve pressed the button on the (admittedly lovely) steering wheel, then struggles to recognise your speech, even if you use the Queen’s English and speak v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.

Then, when I think it’s eventually picked up what I want it to do, after a pause to process, it comes back with the most random selection of options to my command. It’s easier to just use the click-and-scroll wheel to control the system – which works pretty well, it must be said. I’ve actually had very few infotainment problems so far, and I like the way the screen is integrated into the sweeping dashboard line.

The same can’t be said when it comes to an element of the Giulia’s practicality. While the 480-litre boot is actually not a bad size, I can’t get my golf clubs loaded into it – even on the diagonal – without taking my driver out. I’ve resorted to laying my golf bag on the back seats instead because it’s so much easier. The rear-seat bench is taking it well, too, with the upholstery still looking fresh.

It’s true of the front seats as well, which get more use – particularly the driver’s seat, which I’m finding offers just the right amount of support with the Alfa’s odometer now showing 8,686 miles.

That total means the Giulia is soon due a service – in either 118 days or 314 miles, according to the on-board computer. It’ll be the latter that dictates when it’s due a routine maintenance check, I think, so I’ll have to look at getting it booked in.

Dying breed Sean thinks

FULLY loaded with new roof bars and a roof box, our Mazda CX-5 was tested to the max recently when senior photographer Pete Gibson and his family headed for a brief holiday in the Kent countryside.

It’s precisely the sort of trip that can expose flaws in a family SUV’s practicality, but Pete was glad to see that even with Benson the family dog on board, the Mazda was able to swallow all of the kit for a camping trip.

From an eight-berth tent to literally the kitchen sink, the CX-5 got Pete and his family to their campsite in comfort. Despite the full load, the car (diesel-powered, remember) now seems to be averaging 42mpg overall.

That’s pretty impressive, Pete reckons, considering that while the camping trip was an exception, the car rarely goes anywhere without at least a boot full of photographic equipment and car-cleaning gear.

While Pete still isn’t sure about the Mazda’s Zircon Sand paint job, he can put up with it for the benefits the diesel CX-5 brings. The engine feels perfect for long trips when loaded with his family and their camping gear.

Citroen e-Dispatch WE DON’T We’re not fans of the Giulia’s voice control system. It doesn’t recognise commands very well and then responds with random suggestions

Verdict DESPITE my conscience occasionally nagging at my inner enthusiast, I’m still very much enjoying the Giulia Quadrifoglio experience. Every drive is an event; I genuinely enjoy going round to the shops in the Giulia.

While it feels like days are numbered for cars like these in their current form, I can overlook the Alfa’s one or two deficiencies in certain areas because it’s so good in so many others. It’s brilliant.

WITH so much car-like kit on board our Citroen van, sometimes it’s easy to forget that you’re driving a commercial vehicle, and not a passenger carrier. And as senior test editor Dean Gibson has noticed, it doesn’t help when the van thinks it’s a car, too.

These tendencies are great when it comes to the way the e-Dispatch drives, but some of the software could do with an update. You see, the van’s road-sign recognition software can detect speed limits with no problem, but there’s no consideration for the lower limits that vans need to adhere to on certain roads.

In one instance, Dean joined the A12 dualcarriageway with the head-up display showing 70mph (above), when the limit for this kind of A-road is 60mph for commercial vehicles. It left him wondering if it’s not beyond the ability of an engineer to recalibrate the system to reflect this.

SUV TYRE TEST 2022 SUVs are more popular than ever, and here we reveal which tyre responds best to the demands of these high-rise heavyweights

Kim Adams

products@autoexpress.co.uk

WITH sales of new SUVs predicted to overtake those of hatchbacks, saloons and estates by 2025, there’s no doubt tyres for the sector are becoming increasingly important. So producers have moved to secure their share of the growing market.

Some adapted existing tyres, others designed SUV versions, and Pirelli created an entire new range, so we decided to see who has adapted to the challenge of these heavyweight vehicles the best. And it’s not just SUVs’ extra kilos that provide a stern test for the tyres, but also their higher centre of gravity and the greater weight transfer during cornering and braking.

At Bridgestone’s Aprilia proving ground in Italy, armed with a front-wheel-drive

Audi Q3, we ran seven brands (including a budget competitor from the Far East) through our usual set of tests to find which is the best one to put on your soft-roader.

We didn’t assess off-road ability, because few owners will venture there deliberately.

The size of the tyres was 235/55R18, which is one of the biggest sellers in the sector, although still some way behind the 16 and 17-inch sizes that serve far more of the current car parc. Where possible, we bought tyres in the open market.

Our last test of SUV tyres was back in 2019, but just one tyre is a returnee from then – Continental’s PremiumContact 6.

Hankook, Goodyear and Michelin are back, but with different tyres, while Maxxis and Bridgestone join the mix. New tyres due in the near future and stock problems meant several regulars were unable to take part.

WHAT WE TESTED THE tyre size was 235/55R18, with a range of speed (100104) and weight ratings (V-Y). Below, we list the tyre label ratings for fuel economy (RR) and wet grip (WG), For these, A is best, while for pass-by noise lower is better.

SUV TYRE TEST 2022

HI-TECH Safety is ensured at the proving ground by monitoring the vehicles’ position and speed, and controlling access to the track

Getting gag grip p on SUV tyres y Our extensive tests work out which is the safest option for your SUV HOW WE TESTED WHILE manufacturers have developed tyres specifically to cope with the very different demands of heavier, taller SUVs, we assess these products in the same way as we test every other type of tyre.

WET Wet surfaces show up the biggest differences between tyres. They’re also the conditions where drivers are most likely to get close to or exceed the limit, and our test reflects that. Braking and handling are key.

The braking assessment was performed by an Auto Express tester, who measured the distance needed to stop our test car from 80kph (50mph). Instruments measured the distance travelled before reaching 20kph, but the figure to a halt was calculated in order to eliminate any variations created by the anti-lock system in the final metres.

Handling was tested on Bridgestone’s revamped 1.7km-long wet track. The corners have been reprofiled and several more added, plus there’s a new, higher-grip surface. The key feature for us to remember as returnees is that it now runs clockwise.

In deeper water, we measured where the tyre rides up on the surface rather than cuts through. In a straight line, this is where the tyre in the water is spinning 15 per cent more than the one in the dry.

Lateral aquaplaning measures the gradual loss of g-force as the car is driven through a flooded section at ever higher speeds until all grip is lost.

58 20 July 2022

DRY The proving ground’s dry circuit runs through grassland with some elevation change and a combination of short and long turns, with fast direction changes. Lap times formed the result. Our dry braking evaluation was also carried out by an Auto Express tester, and we measured the distance taken for the car to stop from 100kph (62mph). In all tests, multiple runs were made and an average taken, with any outliers discounted.

THE REST Cabin noise was tested at 50 and 80kph (32 and 50mph), measuring levels in the all-important 100-400Hz range. There is no direct link between our result and the pass-by test of the EU tyre label rating.

The fuel economy test measures the rolling resistance of each tyre to industry standards. The higher the resistance, the more fuel is needed for a given speed.

Essentially, this test puts a figure on the difference in effort required between pushing a car with correctly inflated tyres and then when 10psi has been taken out of them. A difference of around four per cent in rolling resistance means a one per cent change in fuel consumption Prices include tyres and fitting and are from our online tyre retailer test winner Black Circles. They are what it charged at the time of writing or would do if a tyre isn’t part of its range. The exception was the Gripmax, which we took from an online search.

ALL-ROUNDERS Our testers put the tyres through a range of different conditions to decide a winner

PICKING A WINNER THE results were converted to percentages to accurately reflect the differences between each tyre. The wet tests formed 50 per cent of the result, dry 40 and the rest the final 10. Within each section we put the emphasis on handling, braking and fuel economy. Price played a small role.

7th Gripmax Stature H/T BOTTOM SPOT Gripmax performed poorly in our dry tests, but was even worse in the wet

THE temptation to save money on your tyres is always there and it’s probably greater now than in recent memory, because the cost of living and motoring is higher than ever. If you are tempted, though, just remember the performance of this Chinese-made Gripmax.

We were alarmed at how poor its performance in the wet was. It needed 23 metres more to stop than the winning Hankook and Continental. That’s easily the difference between having an accident and avoiding one. And it would be a pretty substantial shunt, too, if the winners had just missed one. Based on our results, a C wet-grip label rating looks optimistic. That same lack of grip

was also there on the handling track, where it needed 10 seconds more to complete a less than 90-second lap. Grip levels were woefully low, with the Q3 just skating across the track in corners.

Poor traction meant wheelspin did not stop between turns where others simply hooked up. The rear moved in places no other tyre did and required rapid correction. The saving grace, if there is one, is that it all happens at lower speeds than the Gripmax’s rivals. In the dry it was less of a problem, but under braking it still needed five metres more to stop.

It was one of the quietest on test, but that is no reason to buy this tyre.

6th Maxxis Victra Sport 5 VS5 SUV MIXED BAG Maxxis secured two wins in the aquaplaning tests, but these were tempered by poorer scores in the braking and rolling resistance evaluations

A MIXED bag of results from the Taiwanese brand, which made a few much bigger names look pretty ordinary in some tests.

It is certainly the tyre to have when driving through standing water, because it romped both aquaplaning tests, with only Goodyear getting close in the lateral assessment. The results were closer in a straight line, but the Victra Sport was still a clear winner.

That performance helped it to third place on the wet handling track. It felt good through the turns, with the rear firmly under control, despite good front grip, which can often prompt the back to slide. It was less than a second off the winning Bridgestone’s time, largely

www.autoexpress.co.uk

down to less traction coming out of the corners. Not so good were the braking tests, which saw it need six metres more to stop than the winners.

There was a sharpness to the way the Maxxis tackled the dry handling circuit, given the limitations of Audi’s SUV, but it ebbed away as the laps were completed. It felt less soft than most, but still needed a fair degree of lock. It came sixth for braking, some two metres off the best, but well clear of the Gripmax (above).

And it would really struggle at the pumps, because it uses around five per cent more fuel than the Bridgestone.

SUV TYRE TEST 2022 5th Michelin Primacy 4+ GETTING THERE Michelin’s revised version of the Primacy 4 showed improvements over the original tyre, yet it was still behind the best in the test

IN our last SUV tyre test back in 2019, the Primacy 4 struggled and came joint last. The new-for-2022 4+ is the updated version of the design and it jumps a couple of places in the ranking, but is a little further behind the winning tyre.

It maintain’s Michelin’s push to make a tyre that has good performance throughout its life (although we couldn’t test this), and has the brand’s EverGrip tech, with two compounds in the tread.

At the tyre’s launch, Michelin not only claimed best wet braking when worn but also top aquaplaning compared with rivals. We didn’t see that here when it was new, with two sixth places both some way off the top performers. On the

shallower handling track it was sixth again, but much closer to the pace.

Although it lacked the sharpness of some rivals, it felt safe and kept the rear under control, helped by a slightly weaker front compared with the best. It managed third spot in wet braking behind the winning Hankook and Continental, but was some three metres off the pace.

That lack of sharpness was also there in the dry, but few of the tyres could overcome the Q3’s dynamic shortcomings. It was third in braking, just over a metre behind the winner. A good fuel economy result completes a decent but mixed bag of results.

4th Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV TAKE IT EASY Goodyear’s tyre is a good choice if you value comfort and economy

WHEN we last tested SUV tyres back in 2019, Goodyear entered the then-new Asymmetric 5. It has been superseded, so the new-for-2021 EfficientGrip 2 SUV represents the brand in this year’s test.

Goodyear promised increased tyre life over its predecessor, which often means compromising wet grip, but we didn’t see much evidence of that in our results.

Across the wet tests it was third best behind Bridgestone and Hankook. It was strongest in the deeper water of the aquaplaning tests. It wasn’t disgraced in shallower depths, with even its fifth place in handling close to the pace in a tightly packed field. The rear moved a little more than some, but traction out of

60 20 July 2022

turns seemed a bigger problem. While it couldn’t match the liveliness of its close match here, the Continental, it was effective and finished less than a second off the winning pace.

But dry performance held it back, with it just pipping the Maxxis for fifth spot. There was a dullness to its performance on the handling track, where it required more lock than most and pushed wide easily.

But if a quiet rather than sporting ride is top of your list then the Goodyear could be for you, because it was best for cabin noise and runner-up in rolling resistance, using about one per cent more fuel than the winner.

3rd Continental PremiumContact 6 OLDIE BUT GOODIE Six-year-old design was still able to mix it at the sharp end of the test, so we have high hopes for the replacement Continental is working on

A FORMER Auto Express overall winner, the PremiumContact 6 has struggled in recent tests, with little sign of its previous form or even troubling the podium. But the Continental has bounced back here, although it remains a fair way off the pacesetters ahead.

We’ve said before that a replacement for the PremiumContact 6 can’t come soon enough, and that is in the pipeline, because a six-year-old design is always going to struggle against newer rivals.

It might be showing its age but the Continental has always been among the best to drive and that was still present, despite the Audi’s limitations. There’s a sharpness to it that most rivals can’t get

close to. It doesn’t always translate into lap times, but it does make for secure handling with a well controlled rear.

Continental almost fulfilled its bestin-braking motto but had to settle for a close runner-up spot in the dry and a shared win in the wet with Hankook. The PremiumContact 6 was the third best tyre across the wet tests behind our top two.

In the dry it was second to the winning Bridgestone, but the margin wasn’t enough to overhaul the Hankook for second place on the podium. The sharpness was there again on the handling track, but even the Continental struggled with the hefty Audi.

OVER 700 customer reviews give this tyre an average rating of 4.6/5. Buyers often comment on the tyre’s low noise levels and responsive handling performance.

RAIN MASTER Hankook’s tyre aced the wet tests and also performed well in the dry. Cabin noise and fuel economy weren’t so good, however

was a few tenths quicker, but the Hankook still felt good compared to most rivals. It needed less lock at the limit to stay online and worked well in the fast direction change. Dry braking wasn’t so good, where it needed almost two metres more to stop than the winning Bridgestone.

Where Hankook’s push for a third test win in two years started to unravel was at the pumps, with the 2018 Ventus S1 starting to show its age. It was a long way off the frugal Bridgestone and would use around three per cent more fuel. Last place for cabin noise meant Hankook had to settle for the runner-up spot.

HANKOOK very nearly did the double with this SUV version of the 2021 testwinning Ventus S1 evo3. With two section victories and decent results in aquaplaning, the S1 evo3 SUV was the tyre to have in the wet. It had a two-percent advantage over our eventual winner across our wet-road evaluations.

It also felt sharp around the sinuous wet track with a strong front that let us push on corner entry and still maintain the line. The good turn-in was combined with decent traction on exit, with the tyres among the best at finding grip under power while cornering.

When it comes to dry handling, the Continental had the more lively feel and

SUV TYRE TEST 2022

In association In association withwith

1st Bridgestone Turanza T005 WHILE rival manufacturers create a suite of ranges for different cars, the Turanza T005 is Bridgestone’s massmarket tyre that covers small cars on 14-inch rims right up high-end vehicles on 21-inch wheels.

It’s had a chequered past in our tests since its arrival in 2018, with it faring better in the less sporting sizes, but it seems to have found a sweet spot on an SUV. Yet again we have seen it nail fuel economy, winning by a clear margin over the next best in a key area for the heavyweight cars.

While others may have felt sharper on the handling tracks, there’s no doubting the Turanza T005 is effective,

after winning in the dry and coming a close second in the wet. There’s a little more movement in the wet than some, but reassuringly it is the front you need to wait to hook up when the limit is reached.

It was the same result in the dry, where it recorded a good lap time, but not the most rewarding response. It feels soft and needs a fair bit of lock compared with sharper Continental and Hankook rivals. Still, it certainly works and was good enough to take a narrow win from the German producer.

Not so good was its wet-braking performance, where it needed an extra three metres to bring the Q3 to a stop.

“There’s no doubting the Turanza is effective, after winning in the dry and coming second in the wet”

CHAMPION Three test wins and a hat-trick of other podium places mean the Bridgestone is the pick of the SUV tyres

RESULTS BY CATEGORY

Winners and losers in our tests WHEN you are primarily testing and driving on tyres from top brands, it’s useful to get a reminder of how bad some tyres can be. The Gripmax did just that and we’re glad it was in the controlled conditions of a proving ground. Don’t be tempted.

Among the tyres you could choose, the Maxxis had it moments, yet needs a more balanced performance. Michelin needs to

work on its SUV offering, but it may have given up some new-tyre performance to improve grip when worn. There’s little between the Goodyear and Continental.

Pick the former for comfort and low noise, and the latter for sharper driving.

Buy the Hankook if wet grip is a priority, while Bridgestone offers good all-round performance and decent fuel economy.

FINAL RECKONING Our test sorts out the best from the rest when it comes to tyres for your SUV. Michelin’s Primacy 4+ finished in fifth place this year

Q

Using air-con blows away lots of range on my new EV I’VE been using the air-conditioning in my new electric car a lot recently because of the hot weather. This seems to cause the range to decrease by a significant margin. Is this normal? I didn’t expect it to be.

Paul Sampson, E-mail

Honda CR-V

YOU TELL US SUV is good to drive and has great safety systems, but touchscreen is frustrating

2022Results

A

THE use of auxiliary systems in an electric car can cause a significant drop in range. The airconditioning and heater are among the worst culprits for this. That said, hot weather is better for range than cold weather, so you shouldn’t be seeing a huge drop in range. If you are, you may want to consult with your dealership and have the staff there investigate the possibility of some sort of fault causing a range issue.

Q

Will warranty be affected if I buy car through a broker?

I’VE placed a deposit on a car from a broker, because it was substantially discounted from what a dealer would charge. The broker isn’t an official dealer, though, so will the car’s manufacturer warranty remain valid?

NOT SO GOOD

“I LOVE the hybrid powertrain.

There’s more than enough power and it’s very smooth when pulling away.”

“THE infotainment screen has a thick black edge; it’s a complete waste of space. The screen could be much bigger.”

“All-around visibility from the driver’s seat is pretty good.

There are no real blind spots.”

“The Garmin satellitenavigation system is not always accurate.”

“There’s a lot of adjustability with the front seats. Lumbar support is particularly good.”

“My phone doesn’t always connect to the Bluetooth, and voice commands don’t work.”

“The hybrid is working out to be just as economical as my previous diesel car.”

“I think there are too many touchscreen controls and not enough physical buttons.”

“Heated seats are easy to operate and air-conditioning works excellently.”

“The boot is far less accommodating than I expected from an SUV.”

“High-quality materials used on the exterior and interior.”

“The provision of interior storage spaces is minimal.”

“Legroom is as good as in my previous luxury saloons.”

“Seats aren’t as versatile as in my wife’s Honda Jazz.”

A

YES, the warranty will remain valid as long as you have it serviced in line with manufacturer guidelines and use approved parts. It’s advisable to keep detailed receipts from any work that is carried out on the car once you have taken delivery of it. Insist that any independent garage uses approved parts. Also check reviews of the broker you are using to ensure they are reputable and trustworthy.

Q

What is ‘skimming’ a brake disc and is it a good idea?

AFTER I spent a considerable sum of money getting the brake discs on my car replaced on a mechanic’s advice, my father told me that I should have asked the garage to ‘skim’ them instead. What does this mean and is it a viable alternative to replacement?

Roger Dane, E-mail

A

A COMMON method for extending the life of brake discs used to be ‘skimming’ them on a lathe in order to create a smooth, rust-free surface. While this can work to an extent, it’s not easy to obtain a perfect finish. Thinner discs also heat up more easily and can be less effective. Nowadays, it is considered simpler, safer and more cost-effective to replace the brake discs outright.

Richard Dredge

SEAT was founded more than 70 years ago in Spain as a state-owned car maker that produced a range of models based on Fiats.

It always focused on providing good-value motoring for families, and that philosophy didn’t change when the firm was taken over by the Volkswagen Group in 1986.

For a long time now, all SEATs have used VW Group technology, and its perennially popular Leon is a case in point. First seen way back in 1999, the original Leon looked distinctive in what was generally a rather bland segment. It also offered some great engines, typically good VW Group build quality and excellent value – something that’s still true now. As a result, the latest edition is more accomplished than ever, if perhaps not quite so distinctive.

NEED TO KNOW THE e-Hybrid’s 1.4 TSI petrol engine and electric motor give it a total output of 201bhp. The official electric range is 40 miles; expect 50-70mpg in realworld use depending on driving style and journey length.

History

THE SEAT Leon Mk4 arrived in May 2020, in five-door hatchback and estate forms.

Hatchback buyers could choose between 109bhp 1.0 TSI and 128bhp or 148bhp 1.5 TSI petrol engines; a mild-hybrid version of the latter was offered, known as the eTSI. Diesel fans could buy a 114bhp 2.0 TDI, while only the 1.5 TSI and eTSI engines were offered in the Leon estate.

In October 2020, SEAT introduced the e-Hybrid, the first ever Leon plug-in hybrid, as well as a 1.0 eTSI engine. There were more new engines in April 2021, when a 187bhp 2.0 TSI engine was added to the hatchback line-up, and a 114bhp 2.0 TDI engine became available in the estate. Both engines came only with DSG automatic transmissions; the 2.0 TSI engine was offered in the estate from July 2021.

BUYER’SGUIDE: SEAT L CHECK ON...

Warm hatch The Leon FR is the sporty model. It comes with drive profile selection that allows the throttle response to be adjusted.

68 20 July 2022

Extras SEAT offered few options on the Leon: ambient lighting, added driver-assistance features, a panoramic roof and tow bar – that was it.

Spare wheel All Leons came with a tyre repair kit, but a space saver spare wheel was available at extra cost on all models except the e-Hybrid.

SEAT Leon Mk4

BUYING CARS

EQUIPMENT Every version of Leon comes with standard alloy wheels, from 16 to 18 inches depending on trim level, while FR models (pictured) have a sportier look and feel inside and out

Leon

FROM £16,000 Sharp-looking, well priced family hatch is well worth a look

Warranty The Leon came with a three-year warranty. The first two years had no mileage restriction, but for the final year there was a limit of 60,000 miles.

www.autoexpress.co.uk/driver-power

YOUR VIEW THE fourth-generation Leon has yet to make it into our Driver Power surveys, but the Mk3 appeared in the 2022 new-car poll in a remarkably high 29th place. It’s a surprising result because the car was launched a decade ago, but it’s still a great all-rounder. It’s the excellent value that owners love the most, along with the performance, low running costs and reliability, all of which the Mk4 has hopefully carried over.

CASE STUDY TOM McMahon from Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, owns a Leon 1.5 TSI. He comments: “My old VW Golf was a superb car, but I wanted to save a bit with its replacement.

The Leon has great refinement, a comfortable ride and a user-friendly interior, yet it’s also cheaper. Some safety systems were intrusive at first, but setting them up properly via the menu made the car more enjoyable to drive.”

www.autoexpress.co.uk

Expert’s verdict Tristan Shale-Hester Deputy consumer editor THERE are a lot of fantastic family hatchbacks out there and the SEAT Leon is a worthy contender. It offers passengers a good amount of space for its size and features some great technology – particularly its digital dash. Boot capacity could be better, however, and it’s not the best car in its segment to drive. Rivals such as the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus are worth trying before you make the final decision to buy a used Leon.

PRACTICALITY The price you pay for the Leon’s fine rear-seat accommodation is a boot no bigger than average – it’s even smaller in the e-Hybrid; FR Sport trim adds heated front seats

Common faults

SEAT came 17th in the 2022 Driver Power brands survey, with 20.75 per cent of owners having experienced faults. Buyers of the company’s cars said they reckoned overall build quality could be better, particularly in the cabin.

YOU can buy a 70-plate, 10,000-mile 1.0 TSI SE Dynamic for £16,000, but there are only one or two Leon Mk4s on sale for less. The FR trim accounts for almost half of Leons on sale, and prices for a 1.0 TSI FR start at £18,000 for a 70-plate car with 15k miles. We found just two diesels, the cheapest a 2021 SE Dynamic at £18,598 with 22,475 miles.

Almost half of Leons for sale are automatic; prices start at £20,000 for a 2021 15,000-mile 1.0 eTSI. Estates (from £19,000) account for one in seven Leons, while there are plenty of PHEVs from £25,000, and hybrids from £20,000.

THE Leon should be serviced after the first year (an oil and filter change, for £215) and then after two years (oil and filter change plus new pollen and fuel filters, at £269). From then, a variable maintenance programme allows up to two years and 18,600 miles between services, which alternate between minor and major – an inspection with an oil change (£209), and then an inspection service extended (£369), respectively.

The brake fluid needs to be replaced after three years, and then every other year, at £69 each time. The long-life coolant doesn’t need to be changed at all and with the petrol engines being chain driven, there’s no cambelt to replace. But the diesels have a cambelt, which should be renewed every five years or 130,000 miles, at £539.

Interior

WITH its ultra-modern digital instrumentation, large touchscreen display and appealing graphics, the Leon’s interior is impressive. It’s well made, user-friendly, and the seats are comfortable as well as supportive. Even better, there’s loads of space in the back, so accommodating tall adults is no problem. But the pay-off is a boot that’s no bigger than average at 380 litres, with the estate pegged at 620 litres (270/470 in the e-Hybrid).

Entry-level Leons are fitted with an 8.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, while all other trims benefit from a 10-inch unit. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on every model.

Recalls SEAT has recalled the Leon Mk3 on three occasions so far. The first time was in August 2021, because 346 Leons and Cupra Formentors had left the factory with the front seatbelts not properly secured. All of the cars affected were built between September 2020 and August 2021. The next recall came in November 2021, because five Leons built in September and October 2020 were fitted with poorly secured transmission components. The solution was to replace the parts.

The Leon was most recently recalled in March 2022.

This campaign affected 2,309 Leons, Atecas, Tarracos and Formentors made between October 2020 and February 2022, which could suffer from the engine covers detaching. The solution wasn’t to replace the covers; it was to remove them altogether.

Which one?

THERE aren’t any poor choices when it comes to a Leon’s engine or transmission.

All work well, and it’s the same with the trim levels, with even the entry-level Leon SE having 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and tail-lights, metallic paint, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and an 8.25inch touchscreen. Also included are DAB, rear parking sensors and cruise control.

Picking SE Dynamic brings 17-inch alloys, privacy glass, digital instruments, front parking sensors and a 10-inch display. The Leon FR adds automatic headlights and wipers, three-zone climate control, plus sports suspension. The FR Sport has 18-inch wheels, heating for the front seats and steering wheel, plus electric adjustment for the driver’s seat, while Xcellence adds a rear parking camera, and Xcellence Lux has leather trim and adaptive cruise control.

Alternatives

YOU’RE spoiled for choice in this segment.

The Leon is closely related to the VW Golf, Skoda Scala and Octavia, as well as the Audi A3, all of which are easy to recommend thanks to their versatile interiors, reassuring

www.autoexpress.co.uk

TECHNOLOGY Every Leon comes with a touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and DAB as standard build quality and efficient engines. You’ll pay a lot more for the Audi, but if you’re in a position to do this, you should also consider the Mercedes A-Class and BMW 1 Series.

However, the Ford Focus is more affordable, readily available and very accomplished, while the Vauxhall Astra looks smart and has some impressive tech.

The Kia Ceed and its cousin, the Hyundai i30, are reliable, decent value and good to drive, while the Mazda 3 is also entertaining dynamically and has a stylish interior.

Verdict

A WIDE model range means there’s a Leon for you whether your priority is economy or performance. Although, since the arrival of the Cupra brand, the truly sporty Leon derivatives no longer wear SEAT badges.

As a result there’s less to excite with the SEAT range, but if you want an affordable family hatchback or estate, the Leon should be on your shortlist. However, when we tested the Leon 1.0 TSI FR against its Golf

and Focus rivals last year, the SEAT came third behind the Ford and VW in that order.

All three were appealing, but the SEAT’s firm suspension and disappointing refinement edged it out of first place. Another trim level might have produced a different result though. So while we recommend the Leon, check out a few rivals before committing.

ROAD TAX: When a car is first registered, its first year’s road tax is included in the price. This is emissions-based, and adds anything from zero on electric cars to £2,365 for vehicles emitting over 255g/km of CO2. After 12 months, it’s the owner’s responsibility to tax their vehicle, and the rate depends on the fuel used:

WILL IT FIT? Is your garage big enough? Our measurements show the length and width of each model, but remember estate and performance variants may be bigger.

DRIVER POWER POSITION: Auto Express’s survey canvasses results from tens of thousands of motorists. Models are rated by drivers, then ranked against others on sale in the UK. The lower the number, the higher the score a model achieved.

INSURANCE: Group rating as quoted by the Association of British Insurers.

WARRANTY: Next to each manufacturer’s name is the basic warranty period in months and miles for the mechanicals, corrosion and paintwork. EVs and hybrids will have dedicated battery cover.

LIST PRICE: This is the on-the-road figure and includes VAT, delivery to dealer, 12 months’ road tax, number plates and first registration. EVs do not include the Plug-in Car Grant.

PERFORMANCE: This is the manufacturer’s claimed acceleration time for a car, and is measured from 0-60mph or 0-62mph (0-100kph), in seconds.

ECONOMY/EMISSIONS/RANGE: Combined WLTP economy in miles per gallon, emissions in grams per kilometre of CO2 and maximum claimed range for EVs. Figures are achieved in the latest WLTP tests, but will vary according to equipment and are unlikely to be representative of everyday efficiency.

Ferrari fightback moves to France ● Double win boosts confidence ● Gap to Red Bull closed down Stephen Errity

Stephen_Errity@autovia.co.uk

FERRARI will be looking to carry the momentum of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc’s British and Austrian wins into this weekend’s French Grand Prix at Paul Ricard.

The event is an effective second home race for Leclerc, taking place just over two hours’ drive from his birthplace of Monaco, and the 24-year-old is buoyed up after beating Max Verstappen last time out.

“I definitely needed it. I kept being optimistic, but obviously [with] hard race after hard race, it just felt like everything was against me,” he said. “So, finally we had a breakthrough good race and it really feels good to have a win again.”

Both Leclerc and his team are of the opinion that they are now on terms with Red Bull when it comes to raw pace and just need to sharpen their execution on race weekends to guarantee more wins.

“I think the performance has been great since Australia, apart from Miami, maybe,” Leclerc added. “It’s been strong in the last five races, but we couldn’t put everything together. It’s great that we are now finally having a normal race on my side.”

Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto believes a new rear wing introduced for the Canadian Grand Prix has been instrumental in closing a straight-line speed deficit to the Red Bulls.

“We have reduced the gap we had,” he said. “They still have a slight advantage.”

Elsewhere, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner is predicting that track limits will be

“New rear wing brought in for Canadian Grand Prix helped close speed deficit to the Red Bulls” Leclerc (far left) and Binotto (left) both reckon Ferrari is on terms with Red Bull an even bigger issue at Paul Ricard than they were at the Red Bull Ring, where many drivers had lap times deleted in practice and qualifying for going out of bounds.

“I think Ricard will be a bigger issue in that there is a genuine time gain to be had,” said Horner. “You’ve got acres of tarmac there, so it’s just inviting you to run offline.”

Finally, Mercedes says it still has two or three tenths per lap to make up. “We’re not quick enough to challenge at the front yet,” said team boss Toto Wolff.

McLaren, Ganassi tussle for Palou CONFUSION reigned in the IndyCar paddock last week as both Chip Ganassi Racing and Arrow McLaren SP announced they had signed champion Alex Palou for 2023.

An announcement from Ganassi that it had taken up an option on the 25-yearold’s contract for next year was swiftly followed by a contradictory release from McLaren stating he’d join them instead – although not specifically its IndyCar team.

The Spaniard criticised Ganassi for its announcement, saying he hadn’t approved quotes attributed to him, and appears set on joining McLaren for 2023.

The final outcome of the situation will likely be determined by negotiations between both organisations’ legal teams.

Elsewhere, current Andretti IndyCar driver Colton Herta sampled McLaren’s F1 car at Portimão in Portugal last week.

Vallelunga up next for WTCR and ETCR HYUNDAI driver Mikel Azcona (right) tops the standings ahead of this weekend’s FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) visit to the Vallelunga track near Rome, Italy.

The Spaniard has scored 153 points to date, with his closest rivals, Lynk&Co duo Santiago Urrutia and Yann Ehrlacher, on 137 and 133 points apiece. Zengo Motorsport’s Rob Huff is fourth on 130.

Azcona will also be competing in the jointly headlining eTouring Cars World Cup (ETCR) for electric racers at Vallelunga.

The standings there are currently led by Cupra’s Adrien Tambay, followed closely by his veteran team-mate Mattias Ekström.

IT’S half-time in the UK’s 2022 new-car sales game, which is proving to be a particularly exhausting and painful brawl for most of the players.

And for one or two of them, it’s potentially lethal.

Take Mitsubishi, for example. It’s still alive and kicking in its native Japan. But for a variety of complicated reasons, it chose voluntary euthanasia by leaving the UK market, and its share of sales in ’22 is, officially, 0.00 per cent. Shame, that. I always had a soft spot for Mitsu’s eighties’ Shoguns, nineties’ Fuzzy Logic (honest) tech and, more recently, its once (but no longer) pioneering PHEVs. It’s utter madness that Mitsu registered almost 5,000 new cars to generally happy buyers in Britain last year, but hasn’t sold one here in ’22 after choosing to pull the plug.

On a more positive note, from January to June 2022 Motoring’s most outspoken versus the same period last year, sales have rocketed and opinionated columnist sounds off by 1,007 per cent for newcomer Genesis and its range that provocatively starts below £40k. Think of this premium marque as the Audi of South Korea, while Dacia, like MG, shows its more aggressive Seoul brothers – Hyundai and that demand for good, Kia – are the VW and Skoda of the Korean peninsula.

MG (registrations up 84 per cent in ’22) has honest cars with prices impressively overtaken and is now comfortably private motorists can outselling ex-relatives Land Rover and MINI. actually afford, is a Dacia (up 76 per cent) is, like MG, also showing that demand for good, honest cars with price stickers huge growth area private motorists can afford is a massive growth area.

That said, Polestar (up 72 per cent), DS (71) and Alpine (68) don’t exactly do cheap cars.

But most are at least reasonably and appropriately priced – and that’s why they’re enjoying healthy rises, albeit still selling a relatively small number of cars overall. Rival mid to upper-middle firms who greedily overprice, please take note.

On the face of it, Cupra is also enjoying an outstanding ’22 thanks to a 60 per cent leap in registrations. But this has to be seen alongside a 51 per cent plummet for its sibling, SEAT. Put another way, a more than doubling of registrations for little baby sister Cupra, at the same time as sales for big sis SEAT drop by more than half, means far fewer vehicles sold.

Bentley, Britain’s luxury SUV and saloon king, is up 48 per cent and therefore ranks as the country’s fastest-growing car maker. At the other end of the scale and comparing like with like (Jan to June ’21 vs Jan to June ’22), Jaguar sales have nosedived by a brutal 44 per cent, while on the Land Rover side of the family they’re down by a bruising 37 per cent.

This means about 18,000 fewer JLR vehicles registered in the UK this year than last.

Surprisingly, Volkswagen with its somewhat dazed and confused product range, sleepy Jeep, and an even sleepier Subaru are all down by an unhealthy 35 per cent. I hope I’m wrong, but I fear that due to Subaru’s minuscule 0.07 per cent market share in Britain, it might just follow in the footsteps of fellow Japanese firms Mitsubishi, Daihatsu (forced out by exchange rates) and slow-selling Infiniti by quietly – and sadly – retreating from the new-car showrooms of Britain. But no need to worry, eh! After all, they can all be ruthlessly replaced here – by an imminent torrent of new car brands from China.
