Diesel&EcoCar Magazine 350 Vorige editie

It’s one of the most exciting issues of the year, as we name the best 50 new cars on sale today. In a departure from previous years where we name Car of the Year winners across ten key categories, we’ve ripped up the rule book and come up with something altogether more meaningful. In this month’s issue, we kick off with our 50th best car, and count all the way down to the number one spot. What will our best car of 2016 be? We’ve been driving the sensational new Jaguar F-Pace and bring you our verdict on the UK company’s first ever SUV. Volkswagen’s new Tiguan also gets the first test treatment and we put the Audi A4 allroad through its paces, too. The Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class is landing in UK dealerships right about now, and this month it faces one of its toughest adversaries – the Audi Q5. Which one lays claim to the crown of best medium premium SUV? There’s tests of the eco-friendly Skoda Superb Estate GreenLine, the Kia Optima saloon and the recently updated Subaru XV crossover, too. We also welcome a MINI Clubman to our long-term test fleet, and look forward to evaluating its performance as a family car over the next six months. In our EcoCar section, we test Hyundai’s i20 with the 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, and deliver our pen-ultimate report on our long-term Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. There’s also news of an updated Lexus IS and the first pictures of the facelifted Tesla Model S. In our Buying and Selling section, it’s the SEAT Alhambra that is the subject of our used car buyer’s guide, and we investigate the murky world of insurance write-offs. There are bigger and better Gadget Inspector pages and regulars like Doctor Diesel, legal-i, High Mile Club, dm@il, The Extra Mile, Marketplace and the most up-to-date data section anywhere in the car magazine world. That’s quite apart from the latest news and views on the diesel and economy motoring world.
