Diesel&EcoCar Magazine November 2023 Vorige editie

It’s the affordable electric vehicle that we’ve all been waiting for, as Citroën takes the wraps off its £23k e-C3, with news that an even cheaper version is on its way. We’ve also got the first photos of the new Volkswagen Tiguan, the Mercedes-Benz CLA Concept, a trio of Kia concept cars – the EV3, EV4 and EV5 – the new BMW iX2, facelifted Mazda2 Hybrid and updated Audi Q8, and much more.

This month’s twin test sees the Ford Ranger take on the Volkswagen Amarok, a pair of vehicles that have been developed alongside each other thanks to a joint venture, but the resulting road manners show that each maker has gone its own separate way in how to make the pick-up trucks behave. Which one wins? You’ll need to read the November 2023 issue to find out. We’ve also been behind the wheel of the BYD Dolphin, the Peugeot E-308, the more powerful Citroën E-C4 X and upgraded Vauxhall Corsa Electric. In addition, Isuzu’s D-Max Utility is put through its paces, and we try out the recently reintroduced Citroën Berlingo.

With a theme of 4x4s, off-roading and towing in the November 2023 issue, we have a series of features about getting started with towing, why the maximum towing weight isn’t the be all and end all, and an educational piece about towing with help from the Caravan and Motorhome Club. We also feature five quirky 4x4s and debate whether pick-up trucks are a worthy SUV substitution. This month’s used car buyer’s guide is all about the Volvo XC60, and in light of the media highlighting fires involving EVs, we discuss whether they are more prone to catching fire.
