• New Jaguar XE P250 2021 review

  25-06-2021 11:27 via autoexpress.co.uk
  Verdict
  The updated XE really feels like a desirable product on every front, yet in just a few years Jaguar will axe it, with a compact executive saloon not likely to return to the line-up as the British brand turns to full electrification.

  The world waited a while for a p

• New Mercedes C-Class Estate 2021 review

  24-06-2021 13:59 via autoexpress.co.uk
  Verdict
  The latest C-Class is a convincing tool in many ways - especially its beautifully finished cabin and well-integrated technology. The estate variant is more practical than ever too, and probably enough car for most uses. But regardless of market trends, we’d find it hard to recommend this turbo petrol edition over a diesel version that delivers extra lugging power and is, to all intents and purposes, every bit as refined.
  The Mercedes C-Class Estate has always been quite comfortable
