Autocar magazine's 27 January issue is now on sale. We run through its contents below.
We pit three of the UK's best-selling SUVs against each other to see which one deserves the class crown, sample Alfa Romeo’s new 4C Spider and get a first taste of Porsche ’s updated 911 Turbo S. We also take a look at Vauxhall-Opel's striking GT Concept and examine the new four-pot Porsche 718 Boxster.
Plus we find out how much all the recent floods are costing the UK’s motorists and ponder how important Toyota’s hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai is to the future of motoring.
Also in this issue:
Smart Fortwo Cabrio – Two-seat, rear-engined city car launches with a folding fabric roof. A quirky choice no doubt, but is it a genuine rival for the likes of the Fiat 500 Convertible?
Infiniti Q30 2.2d AWD – We sample the Hyundai's Q30 in four-wheel-drive diesel spec to see how it'll stand up to tough competition from the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series.
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid – The RAV4 returns with a mild facelift and optional hybrid drive. Efficiency is up but, because of those batteries, boot space is down.
Ford’s secret GT bunker – We head underground to Ford’s once-secret GT basement studio, and view the prototype designs that gave influence to the final product.
Our long term test cars:
The Autocar test team returns with the latest on our Volvo XC90, Skoda Fabia, Bentley Continental GT, Honda Civic Type R, Audi A4, Ford Mondeo, Mazda MX-5 and Lexus NX300h.
