This time, the Abarth 595C Competizione comes in a matt blue colour reminiscent of Fiat's great rallying days in the 1970s and is once again playful and always ready to growl. When you press the scorpion button, a real storm breaks out, releasing the full 180 bhp power from the little 1.4 T-jet engine. Afterwards, …

In 2019, 70% of Subaru worldwide sales were made in the United States. Therefore, it’s not surprising that the brand ignores the strict environmental standards imposed by the EEC… which are, slowly but surely, killing our production tools, and therefore our economy, for the benefit of our planet’s main polluters. If you're surprised to discover …

En assurant 70% de ses ventes mondiales aux Etats-Unis en 2019, Subaru se moque bien des normes environnementales strictes imposées par la vieille Europe qui tue lentement mais sûrement nos outils de production, et donc notre économie, au profit des grands pollueurs de notre planète. Alors si vous êtes étonné de ne pas assister à …

It's been a year and a half since the second generation Nissan Juke hit the road but I hadn't had the chance to try it yet. It still wears its distinctive style and atypical face but is now grown up and offer better accommodation… even though interior space is not its forte. However, it uses …

Launched in 2020, the Formentor was the first model developed specifically for the newly created Cupra brand. We tested it with the smallest engine available : the 1.5 TSi 4-cylinder with 150 hp, mated to the inevitable 7-speed DSG gearbox. It's hard to get excited about its sporty character but that doesn't make it uninteresting. …

With a power deficit of 87 horsepower compared to its Spanish competitor of the day, one might think that the French car has nothing to do in this confrontation. And yet... Its R.S. Line finish, its comfort and its technology allow it to take on this Iberian estate car which is pretending to be sportier …
Lancé en 2020, le Formentor est le premier modèle développé spécialement pour cette toute jeune marque. Nous l’avons découvert avec sa motorisation la plus modeste, le 1.5 TSi 4 cylindres de 150 chevaux, accompagné de l’inévitable boîte DSG à 7 rapports.

The Dacia Sandero was launched in 2007 and the arrival of this new iteration is the third generation of the model. Admittedly, the lines have evolved quite discreetly and this Sandero, even in its Stepway version, is immediately recognisable. However, underneath lies the new CMF-B platform which is used by the Clio V, among others. …
Lancée en 2007, la Dacia Sandero en est à sa troisième génération avec l’arrivée de cette nouvelle déclinaison. Certes, les lignes évoluent assez discrètement et cette Sandero, même dans sa version Stepway, est immédiatement reconnaissable mais pourtant, sous ces atours redessinés, se cachent la nouvelle plateforme CMF-B que l’on retrouve, entre autres, dans la Clio …

A diesel-powered estate car is the kind of proposal not to be dismissed. In our opinion, it’s the ideal way to swallow mileage. And when it doesn't involve the inevitable German trio, it becomes even more desirable. Just because a Jaguar always brings a little extra soul and originality with it. So what's new about …
