[nggallery id=2245 template=customlinks] This week we’ve had the Volvo XC60 D5 SE Lux in for review, complete with all wheel drive and Volvo’s old-school 5-cylinder diesel engine.

[nggallery id=2032 template=customlinks] We have the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid in for review and test, with the D6 AWD Geartronic R-Design Lux Nav offering impressive economy and performance.

Volvo V70 Review: D5 R-Design Nav 2012 (2013 MY)
We’ve had the most traditional of Volvo Estates in for a week – the Volvo V70 with the D5 engine and R-Design extras – to review and road test.

Hyundai i30 Review: 1.6 CRDi 110PS Blue Drive (2012)
We have the Hyundai i30 Active 1.6 CRDi 110PS Blue Drive in for a week to review and road test. Is the new Hyundai i30 really a match for the VW Golf and Ford Focus? [nggallery id=1313 template=customlinks] Hyundai probably won’t see it quite the same way (they have been in the business of making cars for […]

This week we have Volvo’s very promising new V40 in for review and test in the guise of the V40 D3 SE Nav manual. [nggallery id=1303 template=customlinks] If the volume of traffic we’ve seen on Cars UK in recent months viewing stories, videos and photos of the all new Volvo V40 is anything to go […]
