Dans la famille des crossovers, je demande la Kia XCeed qui vient de recevoir quelques améliorations de mi-carrière. Elles sont du genre discrètes mais elles devraient permettre à la jolie Coréenne de poursuivre sereinement sa route. Bien finie, agréable à conduire, elle propose désormais un nouvel écran au centre du tableau de bord et la …

Loving cars seems to have become outdated and spirited driving is no longer compatible with our roads. Nowadays, people clogg motorways central lane driving at a steady 110 km/h to avoid being fined. Not to mention lazyness… that way, there’s no need to change lanes and being at risk while textingbehind the wheel. Which means …

How things change ! We surely would have laughed out loudly if someone had told us that, we would be delighted to sit behind the wheel of a Mercedes Diesel estate on high heels. And yet... after spending so much time with portly SUVs and their incongruous hybrid systems, testing a good old style premium car …

As most manufacturers are leaving the supermini segment, and the number of small sporty hatches available dwindling by the day, this Ford Fiesta is really refreshing. If you can't afford the 200bhp 1.5 ST, this alternative should appeal to you. Fitted with a 155 HP 1.0 litre 3-cylinder engine, the 3-door Fiesta offers a lot …

En offrant un léger rafraîchissement à son SUV le plus populaire (35% des ventes de la marque), Mazda soigne encore davantage une clientèle adepte d’une simplicité synonyme de sérénité au volant. C’est exactement le sentiment ressenti à l’issue d’une semaine passée au volant de ce modèle 2022. On l’entend comme un refrain en boucle, même …

The Subaru XV was launched back in 2017 and is nothing more than an lifted up Impreza featuring outdoor overalls. However, unlike many of its competitors who are just offroad pretenders, this Japanese car is perfectly capable to get in the wild thanks to its 4-wheel drive. It was slightly refreshed two years ago and …

Yes, most definitely yes! We never hesitate when it comes to enjoying a week behind the wheel of a car of the kind we love. A big 5.0 V8 under the bonnet and rear wheel drive only mean unadultered endless fun. That's what the Ford Mustang Mach 1, available in Belgium since last Fall, is …

En attendant l’arrivée imminente de la nouvelle Opel Astra, c’est bel et bien le Mokka qui représente le mieux l’avenir de la marque au blitz passant inévitablement par un partage des composants avec ses cousins français. Et le moins que l’on puisse dire, c’est que cela réussit plutôt bien au plus petit des SUV Opel qui …

Contrary to popular belief, there are still quite a few hatches and estates being sold in the world. Enough for Peugeot to justify carrying on with the 308 adventure and introduce these two body styles right from the launch of its newcomer.

I never kept fond memories of my encounters with Range Rovers, whatever the version, Classic, Velar or Sport. Sure, they're great machines to travel in- and I do remember a superb drive in one under heavy rain- but they're not much fun to drive. This test drive of the Range Rover suddenly changed my perception …
