It was not until 1950 that mass production of SEAT automobiles was made possible and this realization was pri...

The highly anticipated2018 VW Up! GTI is now available to order in the UK, all set to take the hot hatch market by storm. Granted, it is a supermini and not a hatchback. But the Up! GTI is so good at what it does, and at£13,750 it is so well-priced, it renders all those expensive, over-powered hot hatches out there silly. I mean, if space is not really an issue for you,2018 VW Up! GTI is a much better proposition than its own big brother, Golf GTI. And we know full well that the Golf is the king of all hot hatches. With the Up! GTI it is not about how much power you have. It’s the whole package. Yes, it only has a 999cc turbo engine with 115 PS and 200 Nm of torque. But on the upside it ...

The Mercedes of vans was unveiled minutes ago with three main body styles of panel van, tourer, and construction truck, and more than 1700 different configurations!

So let’s begin with the technology and see what makes the new Sprinter special. The new model comes withMercedes PRO coect combined with the MBUX multimedia systems. This makes managing a fleet a lot more convenient as you can coect the vehicles and use services such asVehicle...

The days in which SUVs were symbols of high fuel consumption and air pollution are long gone thanks to cars such as2018 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid. These offer the same practicality and performance of a regular SUV, but with a frugal-ish engine. Of course, this much goodness is going to cost you. 2018 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid is priced from$52,100 MSRP to which you will have to add a$995 destination and handling fee. Still, considering the badge and how much kit you receive in retu for your cash, that sounds like good value. The biggest highlight of this model is thethree-motor Sport Hybrid Super Handling-All Wheel Drivesystem which is basically the same powertrain they use in the NSX supercar...

The long wheelbase version of the Tiguan SUV, known simply as theVW Tiguan Allspace, is now available to order in the UK. The extra-practical vehicle comes with a longer wheelbase for added luggage capacity and third-row seats as its main highlights. The difference in length in2018 VW Tiguan Allspace compared to the standard model is significant (4,701 mm vs4,486 mm). But even so thethird row of fold-flat seats are labeled “occasional” meaning exactly what it says on the tin. As for luggage space, with five occupants and the third-row folded you get 700 liters, with seven people in it you get 230 liters, and with only two people and the rest of the seats folded a whopping1,775 litres.

90 grand is a lot of money for what’s, in its essence, a BMW 5 Series saloon. But then this is no ordinary saloon car. The new2018 Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo is, in the tuner’s own words, the most affordable200 mph production car in the UK. Now that is some good justification! We have to point out the£89,000 is for the2018 Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo sedan. The Estate version kicks off at£91,000. But as you may have already guessed, it is the fastest wagon out there. Powering both of these German monsters is a 608 horsepower Alpina-tuned BMW V8. This engine is altogether sweeter and more civilized than the one you get in BMW’s own M5. It is also capable ofgenerating 670 Nm (494 lbft) of torque, swelling ...

Finally, the new, mode-day Alpine is ready to hit the roads, going on sale in five days. We’ve waited a long time for this thing, but all the evidence suggest 2018 Alpine A110 is well worth the wait. I’m afraid, however, the privilege of enjoying one is a bit costly, as the sports car starts at€58,500. The good news is though, that is the base price for the limited edition2018 Alpine A110 Premiere Edition. Regular models will be less expensive. But the launch model is the really irresistible one, if just for the fact that they are making only 1,955 units of it. That is a tribute to the yearAlpine was founded. TheA110 Première Edition come as standard with lightweight 18-inch O...

Not wanting to jut hand over the competition to the rivals, and also to avoid being hated on by half the population of the world’s football watching crowd, Audi decided to give FC Barcelona footballers brand-new cars as well. A week or so ago they delivered a fleet of the latest models to Real Madrid players. This ought to level the playing field. It appears, though,FC Barcelona players have less extravagant taste than their Madrid-based rivals. Their chosen Audis are less diverse, and most have gone for the more practical models than the really sporty ones. Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Gerard Piqué selected the Audi RS 6 Avant, while five other,including Ousmane Dembélé, Sergi ...

We’ve been hearing a lot about this car, and finally last night at the Los Angeles Auto show we got to see it in production trim. The all-new2019 Subaru Ascent is the Japanese company’s ticket to play in the large SUV segment. And they are coming out guns blazing. The Ascent comes with a number of features you don’t find in too many cars in this class. You can have this SUV in 7- or 8-seater configurations, and that alone puts it in a special club. Then you have the 260 horsepower BOXER engine combined with Subaru’s legendary rally-bred all-wheel-drive ruing gear. That translates to versatility, performance and peace of mind. And of you have the legendary reliability and afforda...

Just out of the blue Mercedes-Benz decided to release the first official photos of the2018 Mercedes A-Class after a preview event in Germany. These photos, mind, show only the interior of the new premium hatchback. But at least they reveal the interior in full. And it’s pretty cool. Having a unified corporate look might such as Mercedes and all the other major automakers have does make the cars of a certain brand look pretty much identical. But on the upside it means that even smaller, cheaper models benefit from the cues of the bigger, more expensive ones. And that is the reason the cabin of the2018 Mercedes A-Class looks very similar to that of an S-Class. You get the same sor...
