The electric version of the MC20 supercar could still see the light of day if the market picks up, says Maserati, after it cancelled the model earlier this year, citing insufficient demand. Promising huge power and similar dynamics to those of the V6 car, the MC20 Folgore would have been the first electric supercar on sale – the circa-2000bhp Rimac Nevera, Pininfarina Battista and Lotus Evija meriting full-bore hypercar status. Its potentially seminal status was ultimately its downfall, though, with nothing comparable on sale against which it could be benchmarked. Maserati wasn’t confident it would attract a sufficient number of buyers away from V6 and V8-engined alternatives to recoup the substantial development costs. Maserati CEO Santo Ficili stands by the decision and said: “I don’t think it’s the right time…

VOLVO WILL DEVELOP a third-generation XC90 SUV, the company’s CEO has said, as the phase-out of combustion-engined models continues to be more protracted than the brand originally predicted. Volvo has recently facelifted the 10-year-old second-gen XC90 after giving it a stay of execution amid delays to the EX90 large electric SUV, which was originally intended to be the XC90’s replacement. However, CEO Håkan Samuelsson said a third-generation model is on the cards. “We will need a new XC90,” he told investors on the company’s second-quarter earnings call, although he stopped short of giving a launch date for its replacement. A new XC90 is likely to be a long-range plug-in hybrid after Samuelsson indicated the technology will make it to Europe from China, where Volvo will start production of the new…

MG’s Renault 5 rival will hit roads by 2028 priced from around £22,000 and it will be fully designed in the UK. Likely to be called MG 2, the new EV will sit below the 4 hatchback as the entrylevel model to MG’s sevenstrong EV line-up, which has been bolstered recently by the IM 5, IM 6 and MG S5 (see road test, p36). MG UK boss David Allison mooted early plans for such a model to Autocar last year and, speaking at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this month, he confirmed that the new EV will be priced competitively relative to the likes of the Renault 5, which starts at £22,995. He said: “One of the things that we’ve always had is that affordable price position on EVs…

THE PEOPLE CARRIER could make a comeback, Renault’s design boss has predicted. Gilles Vidal told Autocar that its return would be the result of designers exploring new ways to boost efficiency while departing from conventional SUV styling. MPVs used to be big business in Europe, with the likes of the Renault Scenic, Vauxhall Zafira, Ford Galaxy and Citroën Picasso claiming a huge regional market share. Since 2008, however, SUVs have taken over the family segment and now account for more than half of all European car sales. But Vidal says the transition to electrification could bring about an MPV renaissance, as car makers strive to make their models as efficient as possible and exploit the packaging freedoms of EV ‘skateboard’ architecture. He said: “SUVs won the battle against MPVs, because…

ADAPTIVE DAMPING ISN’T new, but active suspension, which Nio has developed for its flagship ET9, is a far rarer beast. Called SkyRide and developed in conjunction with Clearmotion, it is described as “the world’s first fully integrated hydraulic fully active suspension” (News, 9 July). In road cars, adaptive damping has been widely adopted as a way of varying the damping force on the fly. This meant damping could adapt to different surfaces or driving styles and be adjusted through driving modes. Conventional adjustable dampers, typically used for aftermarket tuning or in motorsport, can only be adjusted manually by the turn of a screw. Active suspension is different. Computercontrolled hydraulics or mechanisms supplement springs to control the car’s body movements much more effectively. So while dampers provide some resistance to the…

AN OVERWHELMING majority of car makers have craved the return of incentives to boost demand for electric cars in the UK with evergreater desperation since the start of 2024. The government’s ZEV mandate, introduced 18 months ago, meant manufacturers faced significant fines for not selling enough EVs, and barely an interview with a top UK exec from a legacy car maker has gone by – several of them in this column – without them saying they need government help to hit those targets because there is not enough true market demand for EVs. To date, car makers have complied with the mandate and avoided fines. Yet it has come at a huge cost, with their own discounts to tempt buyers into new EVs totalling £6.5 billion, according to Society of…

Goodness, that EXP 15 concept is a pig-ugly creation. What was Bentley – or more specifically its design chief, Robin Page – thinking? Not only does it ape (unsuccessfully) the latest Jaguar design language but it also totally lacks any homage to the typical Bentley hallmarks of elegance, style, proportions, unmistakable classic nose and exquisite detailing. It really does not excite me at all from any angle. There are too many elements that collectively do not blend well together. The rear light treatment is Polestar-inspired, the side silhouette is clearly Audi RS6 Avant and the nose mimics a bee hotel. It’s like a pick ’n’ mix that ignores everything that the Bentley brand embodies. And this design fail extends to the interior too, where the luxury and elegance has been…

Four hundred and eighty-three miles. That makes this new Mercedes-Benz CLA the longest-range EV you can buy in the UK, surpassing the firm’s other streamlined saloon, the EQS. Even when you remove the ‘in the UK’ qualifier, you need to look to the Lucid Air Touring to go further on a single charge. But that range is only really a by-product of the thing that could make the CLA a landmark car, which is its efficiency. The EQS and the Lucid are very expensive, very large cars with massive batteries, whereas the CLA isn’t. It costs from £45,615, which is only as much as a long-range Tesla Model 3, and instead of taking the brute force and ignorance route towards achieving a longer range by just fitting an enormous battery…

It’s 90kg heavier. Antiroll bar stiffness and rear spring rates have been upped by 7%. And the roof goes up and down. There you go: the material differences between the coupé and Volante. The Volante’s underlying structure, confirms Aston’s chief engineer Simon Newton, is in effect the same as the coupé’s. Newton is also keen to note that the weight gain is from underbody bracing, which helps make this roofless Vanquish some 75% stiffer laterally than the DBS Volante it replaces. Weight distribution is now slightly closer to 50:50 front to rear, too. The Vanquish is not a small car, though. It weighs a shade over two tonnes at the kerb, so that 90kg really makes no material difference. This is a £360,000, 5.2-litre V12-engined, 2.0-metrewide super-GT-cum-supercar that signifies a…

Just a few years ago, it took very little time to survey the span and purpose of the modest range of cars of ‘budget brand’ MG Motor. But suddenly that appraisal process now seems to take considerably longer. Two years ago came the launch of the ambitious Cyberster convertible. Since then, we have seen the bread-and-butter core of MG’s business shift and diversify slightly away from EVs and towards hybrids (MG 3, ZS and HS). Very recently, we have also witnessed the announcement of the firm’s larger, pseudo-premium MG IM 5 and IM 6 models. So the company that broke through with value EVs is now doing sports cars, executive cars and nononsense hybrids as well. Perhaps, then, it’s about time it came back to earth and gave us another…

The history of Renault is rich. Founded in 1899, the manufacturer quickly became a force in engineering, racing and luxury, not only making family cars, trucks and buses, but also winning the Monte Carlo Rally with the 9.1-litre 40CV and building aero engines. Between the wars, Renault’s conservative line-up allowed Citroën to become the largest car maker in France – at least until the latter’s first bankruptcy. After the Second World War, Renault moved firmly into the mass market. Having endured another 80 years of worldwide turmoil since then, including one CEO being assassinated and another being imprisoned in and then escaping from Japan, it is currently thriving. To celebrate this, in 2027 Renault will open a museum within its Flins factory – a place that has seen 18 million…

WHY WE RAN IT To see if this latest incarnation has maintained that trademark no-frills appeal “It makes you feel like François Delecour on a Tarmac rally stage” Time and again we’ve seen the humble hatch’s resilience tested. Public desire for two-tonne SUVs and big-name manufacturers’ claims they can no longer turn a profit developing and selling small cars have made sure of that. The list of reasons why city cars and the like are vanishing goes on – and it makes me sad. Which is why I’m so glad that Suzuki has persevered through the challenges to continue making an excellent small car in the shape of the Swift. My time with this pint-sized beauty has been wonderful. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect initially, because I’d been…

Launched in 2017, the Stelvio was a radical departure for Alfa Romeo, although the firm waited longer than many rivals before launching an SUV. But as then CEO Reid Bigland said at the unveiling: “The Stelvio is an Alfa Romeo first and an SUV second.” True to his word, Alfa gave us a head-turning high-rider that was as desirable as its talented German contemporaries and delivered no small dynamic edge. Today, just £11,000 will get you into an early high-miler, but playing it safer at £15,000 will net a cleaner example with a more reasonable mileage. The Stelvio is (just about) still on sale and has only been minimally updated during its eight-year history, so whatever your choice, it won’t look outdated. Several trims were available at launch: Stelvio, Super,…

“I grew up playing with figures like Action Man and not video games, so to own a Humvee like the one he drove is a dream come true,” says Samuel Ogunlana. Note, it’s a Humvee, the US military vehicle – full name High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle – that first saw action in 1989 in Operation Just Cause, when the US invaded Panama, and not a Hummer, the popular civilian utility vehicle that looks a lot like it. Both were built by AM General, although the Hummer was marketed by General Motors. At 2160mm wide (7ft 1in in old money), finished in khaki green and sitting on 37in wheels shod with tractor-like tyres, it’s impossible to miss among the pristine Ferraris and Porsches gathered at Samuel’s local car meet. “It’s…

NEWS Maserati is considering a new flagship super-GT with V6 power and a manual gearbox as part of a drive to emphasise its sporting heritage and strengthen the brand’s luxury credentials. Set to be a limited-run creation, the new top-rung Maserati could be launched as early as next year as the most exclusive and powerful combustion-engined car the firm has produced since the MC12 landed two decades ago. It is tipped to be based on the Granturismo and will be twinned with an equivalent Alfa Romeo model, similar to the way in which the new Alfa 33 Stradale is based on Maserati’s MC20. Speaking to Autocar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this month, Santo Ficili, who is CEO of both marques, said: “We have infinite possibilities to customise…

Vauxhall has reimagined its GSe performance brand with a new version of the Mokka Electric that has nearly double the power of the standard car. Previewed by the Mokka GSe Rally prototype in May, the crossover’s arrival marks the relaunch of GSe, most recently used for the plug-in hybrid Astra GSe, as a badge for performancehoned fully electric cars. The Mokka is also a more serious proposition than the Astra, with substantially more power and extensive chassis modifications. Its new motor, which is shared with the Abarth 600e, the Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica Veloce and the new Peugeot e-208 GTi, puts out 276bhp and 254lb ft. That’s sent to the front wheels through a Torsen limitedslip differential, and it allows the Mokka GSe to hit 62mph from rest in 5.9sec.…

THE RANGE ROVER Evoquerivalling Jaecoo 5 will go on sale this summer, priced from £24,505. The 5 will become the second model in the Chery-owned brand’s UK range following the popular 7, which has amassed 8399 sales so far this year. At launch, the 5 will be powered by a 145bhp 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine. Details on the EV variant will follow in the “coming weeks”. The entry-level 5 comes with a 13.2in vertical touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and all-round parking cameras. For £28,000, Luxury trim adds a panoramic roof and ventilated front seats.…

MG is expected to bring the second-generation 4 to Europe imminently after its design was registered with European legislators. The new hatchback (below) is already on sale in China and is markedly different from the car it replaces. It is bigger, features a new Cyberster-inspired design and has a new cabin. In China, it is sold with a single 161bhp electric motor (down from 168bhp) and draws electricity from a battery of undisclosed capacity. In a statement, MG told Autocar: “We can confirm this is an official patent application but this is standard practice and it is too early to say whether this design will be offered in the UK.” While MG would not confirm that the car is destined for the UK, Autocar understands its arrival is expected soon.…

BYD will grow its Denza premium brand in the UK with a network of stand-alone dealers and an expanded range of models including rivals to the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover. Denza made its UK debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it showed the Z9 GT shooting brake, the Defender 110-sized B5 4x4 and the D9 luxury MPV. Speaking to Autocar, BYD vice-president Stella Li said these three models are just the start of an ambitious plan to disrupt the European premium car market. “We need premium,” she said. “This year [at Goodwood] we have three Denza premium models, which give you a new experience, really focusing on the premium area.” The first UK-bound Denza model is the Z9 GT shooting brake, which is due on sale…

Thefts of car parking sensors have risen by 300% amid an increase in overall vehicle parts crime across the country, a leading insurer has reported. Admiral Insurance says that last year it recorded 142 claims for stolen parking sensors, compared with 36 claims the previous year, with an additional 104 claims for stolen steering wheels and airbags. “Parking sensors are easily accessible and have a high resale demand,” said Alex Wyard, director of technical underwriting at Allianz. “Criminals see parts theft as an easy way to make extra cash, and we have seen an increase in all types of theft relating to cars over the past year. “New airbags can cost as much as £1200, but thieves sell stolen ones for a fraction of the price. Wing mirrors, catalytic converters,…

Your conversation with Skoda CEO Klaus Zellmer (Grapevine, 9 July) certainly caught me eye. Five of my past six cars have been Skodas, but I’m very determined that my current one will be my last. The reason is straightforward. All my Skodas have been bought from a wonderful – friendly and professional – family-owned dealer who have partnered the brand for over 20 years, invested in their site and won numerous customer service awards from Skoda. But when I was last in for a service in April, they told me that would be my last Skoda service with them, as they’ve been terminated by the brand as part of a wider Volkswagen Group cull of many long-standing dealers in Northern Ireland. I will now have to travel at least 20…

The Honda Prelude is back. Almost. It’s at Thruxton as a prototype and been driven for a few minutes only, enough to get us used to its new hybrid drivetrain. It uses the engine as a generator for its electric drive motor, rather than to power the wheels, so in that respect it’s a bit like in the Civic but supposedly more engaging. The Civic donates the Prelude its architecture, plus its 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle engine and a drive system, dubbed e:HEV. It’s worth spending a bit of time on this because it’s not straightforward. When the Civic first arrived, Honda used the term e-CVT, or something like that, somewhat misleadingly. An electric motor of around 180bhp (precise figure to be confirmed) drives the front wheels, with the engine generating its…

There isn’t much ‘victory Rally Sport’ about a 2.2-tonne electric crossover, but Skoda has never been precious about its sporty vRS badge, and if anything this has been to its advantage. Those initials have been applied to subjects as diverse as diesel superminis and plug-in hybrid estates, but we’ve always known what they stand for: a sensible injection of performance and a measured stab of handling intent, plus a lightly racy interior trim and high equipment levels. Those ingredients work with almost any model in the range, and without inviting overbearing expectation from the fanbase. Witness how Volkswagen has so far not dared to bestow GTI status on its EVs or crossovers, lest a PR disaster unfold. But an Enyaq vRS? Sure, why not? Skoda launched the Enyaq vRS –…

WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT To ascertain if this upmarket compact SUV can still hold its own in the face of fresher competition If there was ever an era-defining car for a marque, the Evoque is the ultimate example. This entry-level Range Rover catapulted what was then Jaguar Land Rover (now JLR) into a new sphere of success. The sight of the mini Range Rover, closely related in style to its iconic big sibling, became the norm across the country and it was, anecdotally, the new favourite for middle-class mums doing the school run. That all may be true, but has it managed to stay relevant in the fast-changing landscape of compact SUVs over the past decade? We’ve taken on our new long-termer quite far into its second generation, which has…

AN OWNER’S VIEW ANDREW BURFORD “I purchased a 2020 Stelvio 2.0 petrol that was 18 months old and had 8000 miles on it, and I found it to be a comfortable and capable SUV. The ride felt like a sports car and it had plenty of power in D mode – and it returned around 30mpg. As time and miles were added, one day the battery failed, and while it didn’t stop me from using it, it did throw up some errors. I also had an issue with the coil pack. Alfa Romeo wanted a fortune for new parts so I went old-school and had the leads varnished, which cured it.” BUYER BEWARE… ■ ENGINE Damaged hoses or a broken radiator can cause coolant leaks and overheating. A new radiator…

In last week’s magazine you may have read Matt Prior’s review of the new Bugatti Mistral – an open-air take on the Chiron, and the very last model to carry the four-turbo W16 engine that had its debut in the Veyron back in 2005. The Mistral’s pedigree can be traced back further than the Veyron, though. In 1998, the year Volkswagen bought Bugatti (as well as Bentley, Cosworth and Lamborghini, Ferdinand Piëch being on the acquisitional rampage), the company unveiled a sensational roadster at the Geneva show. Though neither we nor VW knew it at the time, this car was laying the groundwork for future Bugatti roadsters. The engine had a short, W-layout (the block was just 510mm long) and was exposed to the elements amidships. The cockpit was luxurious…

Maserati boss Santo Ficili has adamantly dismissed recent reports that Stellantis was considering selling off Maserati amid a dramatic downturn in sales and with no new volume products in the immediate pipeline. The brand’s deliveries decreased 57% last year to just 11,300 cars, and it finished the year with a £221 million operating loss. In the first three months of this year, Maserati sold just 1700 cars globally, a 48% year-on-year drop. And to the end of June, the brand had delivered just 171 cars in the UK – mainly comprising the Grecale. But Ficili is bullish that Maserati can remain an important part of the Stellantis empire because it is “the only luxury brand” in the company’s 14-marque portfolio. Responding to reports of a possible sell-off, Ficili added: “The…

Chevette HS (1978) Homologation special got a massive front air dam and a reworked 135bhp 16-valve four-pot. Hilariously good fun but slightly understeery for a short-wheelbase, rearwheel-drive machine. Astra Coupé Turbo 888 (2002) Limited-run Astra celebrated Team Triple Eight’s domination of the BTCC, with 187bhp, a lairy rear spoiler and a transformative chassis overhaul. Two decades on it’s a rarity. Zafira VXR (2005) Possibly the silliest performance car ever, melding seven-seat practicality with a 237bhp turbo four. Predictably a bit shabby to drive but hilarious all the same. Corsa VXR Nürburgring (2011) No prizes for guessing where this one was developed. Gained a limited-slip diff, stiffer springs and Bilstein dampers, priming it for track action.…

JLR WILL CUT up to 500 jobs in the UK as it grapples with declining sales in the wake of the new American import tariffs. The company said it will offer roughly 1.5% of its workforce a voluntary redundancy package. The impacted roles are managerial positions, but JLR has not said which departments or facilities will be affected. An official statement said: “JLR regularly offers eligible employees voluntary redundancy [VR] programmes. Through this limited UK VR programme for managers, JLR is aligning its leadership A new XC90 is likely to be workforce for the business’s current and future needs.” The news follows a sharp 10.7% year-onyear drop in sales during the last quarter. JLR partly attributed this to a reduction in US sales: – it paused shipments to the US…

THE CHEVROLET CORVETTE will continue to be powered by a V8 engine in the long term because parent company General Motors will not rush out an electric variant “just to meet that [2035 EV] regulation”, its engineering boss has told Autocar. The nameplate returned to the UK with the righth-and-drive V8-powered Stingray in 2021 as a halo model in GM’s wider comeback in Europe. The line-up now also includes the track-honed Z06 and the hybrid V8 E-Ray. But speaking to Autocar, General Motors chief performance car engineer Tony Roma said that while electric cars are the future, plans for a Corvette EV have yet to be officially drawn up. “Right now, it’s still science fiction,” he said. Instead, the sports car will continue to be powered by a V8, either…

Lotus’s design operations “must remain” in the UK, its creative chief has told Autocar, following recent reports that the brand could end production at its historic Hethel factory. Designs of upcoming models are being penned at a new studio in Warwickshire, but the future of the brand in the UK was thrown into doubt last month after sources told Autocar that owner Geely was preparing to close the Norfolk plant, threatening 1300 jobs. But this notion, with production potentially moving to the US, was countered by Lotus, which released a statement saying it had “no plans” to close its UK factory – reportedly after securing UK government support. Speaking to Autocar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Ben Payne said the company’s design operation should “absolutely” remain in the UK.…

The UK government has reintroduced grants for new electric cars, offering discounts of up to £3750 – but there remains uncertainty over how the scheme will work, and most Chinese-built EVs could be excluded altogether. The new Electric Car Grant (ECG) arrives as a way of incentivising sales of EVs as demand weakens while mandated emissions targets continue to rise. Backed by £650 million of government funding, the ECG will apply to certain new EVs priced at or below £37,000 (although higher trim levels can exceed that figure and still qualify if an entry model with the same battery starts below it). The move is a win for the UK automotive industry after months of fierce lobbying to help ease the burden of hitting the strict EV sales targets imposed…

MERCEDES-BENZ HAS officially revealed its first electric estate: the CLA Shooting Brake. The brand’s long-range EV was launched in saloon form in March, but the Shooting Brake offers 50 litres more boot space than that car, at 455 litres. This rear load volume is 30 litres down on that of the previous CLA wagon, but the addition of a frunk means overall luggage space is up by 71 litres. Rear passengers get an extra 26mm of head room over the standard CLA, too. It also has a 61mm-longer wheelbase than that of the previous generation. The Shooting Brake shares its 85kWh battery with the standard car, for 473 miles of range (down 10 on the saloon). Power is 349bhp for the entry 250+, or 268bhp in 350 4Matic guise. Like…

Many of us would love for Mazda to keep merrily making MX-5s and a supporting cast of sensibly sized hatchbacks with zingy petrol engines and manual gearboxes, maybe with a couple of straight-six diesels thrown in. But the powers that be have decreed otherwise: whether it wants to or not, the brand needs a credible electric vehicle (the MX-30 has charm but not much else). If you’re BMW, you can counter any legislative flip-flopping by betting on all the horses: petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric, tick off hydrogen just in case. But Mazda just doesn’t have the engineering might to do all of it well. So for its new 6e, it has turned to its Chinese manufacturing partner Changan and Mazdafied the Deepal SL03. It must be said that, design-wise, it…

The mercury is climbing steadily into the high twenties, and above us the blue sky is dotted with only a smattering of little fluffy clouds. At last, summer is here. Better still, we’ve got the scenery and roads to match: the B4518 scythes up, through and around rolling Welsh hills before depositing us at a viewpoint overlooking the stunning Clywedog reservoir, its gently wind-whipped waters glinting and sparkling in the sun a few hundred metres below us. Behind us, their exhausts and engines pinging away like a distant steel band as metal components cool and contract, are three of the fastest hair dryers £200,000 (and a bit more) can buy.

MINI ACEMAN Mileage 1821 Last seen 9.7.25 Parking up next to a Paceman recently got me thinking about Mini’s odd three-door SUV, which was ultimately binned after four years to avoid cannibalising Countryman sales. Mini learned its SUVs needed to be easily distinguishable and that’s why the Aceman and Countryman are so different. They sit on different platforms, are distinct enough in size, and the Aceman is EV-only. Good job, Mini. MSc BMW 1 SERIES Mileage 5676 Last seen 9.7.25 I’ve been so busy discussing the merits of my 120’s many options that I haven’t once highlighted that, despite the best efforts of my right foot (and they’re pretty strong efforts), it has consistently surpassed 45mpg. I wonder how much of that is owed to the new 48V mild-hybrid system.…

CUPRA BORN 77KWH V3 2024, 8500 miles, £27,060 The Cupra Born has an engaging rear-drive chassis, and this V3 has the bigger battery, so you’ll get over 300 miles of real-world range. And with 227bhp going to the rear wheels, it has the verve of a warmed-up hatch on a B-road. FERRARI PORTOFINO 2019, 12,000 miles, £118,990 This stunning Portofino has only done just over 10,000 miles, has been meticulously maintained and has a Ferrari service history.
