• Fake noise vs real V12s: Goodwood highlights performance EV problem

  Forgettable electric Toyota gets an outdoorsy sibling with a likable functional agendaThere’s something slightly curious going on with the new estate version of Toyota’s mid-sized EV: the Toyota bZ4X Touring.This higher-riding, rugged-looking wagon derivative can now be considered ‘even more crossover’ than the normal car, I suppose. It’s part hatchback, part SUV; part off-roader, part urban sprawler; part jacked-up hatchback, part estate car. Part Toyota, part Sub

  The 1980s bear similar parallels with today, so perhaps it's time for us to remember the cars everyone seems to have forgottenWars, high fuel prices and rampant inflation.Ring any bells? Well there was also plenty of this in the 1980s as well, which is why in this feature we’re celebrating the cars from that decade – or cars from slightly earlier that made their name in the decade – that you may have completely forgotten: Subaru BRAT (1977)

• Audi Q3 used buying guide: £10,000 for a more practical A3?

  Audi's Q3 is more than an elevated A3, especially in Mk2 guise from £10kThere's no guaranteed recipe for success in today's fiercely competitive car world, but taking a best-selling model and raising its ride height is a fairly safe bet - as Audi showed in 2011 when it launched the A3-based Q3, now one of its most popular models.
  With the compact SUV recently entering its third generation, this is a good time to consider the appeal of the Mk2 - which represents the opportunity to bag

• What happened to coupés? Mercedes CLE vs BMW i4 vs Audi Q5

  13-07-2026 05:00 via autocar.co.uk
  
  Coupé is a word few car makers use these days, but its spirit is alive and well in Germany. Sort of...The coupé market was bustling 25 years ago.
  Ford, Peugeot and Volvo were among the raft of mainstream names doing a roaring trade in handsome two-door cars at accessible prices. And in very lurid colours. Today, the picture looks decidedly different and not merely because the trio we have here are all painted various shades of grey.

• Why buy a Mazda MX-5 when you can have an Abarth 124 instead?

  12-07-2026 11:00 via autocar.co.uk
  
  Take an MX-5, inject a little bit of Italian flair and you get the 124, though there are some downsides...After a few minutes of talking to Carlo Dore, owner of a 2018-reg Abarth 124 Spider automatic, I'm glad I sold my 2018 Mazda MX-5 2.0 Sport.
  He says that it and the technically related 124 can suffer failure of the so-called spherical bushes in their rear hubs, one hub per corner. There are multiple bushes in each hub and it takes only the failure of one, usually detected at the MOT tes

  Pre-war Citroëns, post-war American land yachts, one-off concept cars, chrome-covered road-hog motorcycles, supercars, movie tribute cars and more. It's a joyously assorted mix.

• Carrera, Turbo S, GT3... making sense of the 911 line-up

  There are 21 different flavours of Porsche 911, and buying the 'wrong' one is easier than you might think...A colleague asks me if I can explain exactly where the GT3 sits in the 911 range, because I've said it's the best driver's version, but doesn't Porsche do a GT2 as its hardcore variant?
  I explain that it did, and it was kinda like a GT3 but with a Turbo engine, but you can't buy one at the moment; and that there is, or was, actually also a GT3 RS, but you can't get that right now eith

• Denza Z driven: First taste of China's £173k, 1584bhp 911 rival

  11-07-2026 10:00 via autocar.co.uk
  
  How do you beat the best-known sports car with an EV? A Chiron-baiting power output is a good start...Disorder would seem to be the main risk for BYD’s new premium brand Denza. Lack of cohesion, if you prefer. With a bluff, ladder-frame off-roader, a large seven-seat MPV, and a sleek executive shooting brake in it already, the firm’s product portfolio could, before long, look more like an odd sock drawer than a unified family of desirable electrified cars.
