November’s issue of NZ Autocar is here! Here’s what we’re featuring this month.
Audi Q4 50 e-tron Sportback quattro S line
Audi’s electrification drive ramps up further with the arrival of the Q4, its most affordable EV yet. But is it special enough to warrant the premium?
BMW iX1 xDrive30
BMW’s i cars slowed to a trickle for a time but now there are new electric examples in every sector. We drive its first electric X1.
Mazda CX-90 Takami
Mazda is upping its ante in the big SUV stakes, with its new CX-90. It moves the brand further upmarket, with pricing to match.
BMW M2 Performance
Taking the mechanicals from the M4 and massaging them into a more compact body is the recipe for the second-gen M2. Does it all gel?
Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 4Matic
First Mercedes launched a sedan version of the electric EQS series and now the company adds an SUV variant, the 450 4Matic. We sample the seven-seater.
Citroen e-C4 Shine
The C4 is available with petrol or electric power, the latter known as e-C4. Does it have enough individuality for the Francophile?
Cupra Formentor V eHybrid
Cupra’s biggest seller is the Formentor, so it makes sense to add more models, the latest being the firm’s first plug-in hybrid.
LDV e-T60
LDV’s e-T60 has struggled to gain traction in a ute segment obsessed with ultimate capability. Does a reduced price tag make it more appealing?
Nissan Tech Insights
Nissan is facing some serious competition in the marketplace. So how is this 90-year-old Japanese giant responding? We went to Tokyo to find out.
Ford Ranger Wildtrak X
Ford introduces another Ranger with an offroad bent.
Cupra Leon Sportstourer
Wanting space, style and something a bit interesting to drive? Try this entry-level Cupra.
Nissan Qashqai e-Power
We check out how the e-Power handles distance.
BMW M3 Group A
BMW has developed some of the most successful touring cars of any marque. Nothing epitomises its reputation for winning more than the E30 M3 and its partnership forged with Schnitzer motorsport.
Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello
We ride the latest offering from the 100-year-old bike maker.
BMW G 310 R
Is the cheapest BMW you can buy any good?
