Diesel Car & Eco Car Magazin - November 2017 Ausgabe. It’s a bumper issue for news, with all the cars destined for the
Frankfurt motor show making their debut in the November 2017 issue of
DieselCar and EcoCar magazine, including the new Dacia Duster, the
facelifted Ford EcoSport, upgraded Kia Sorento and the Vauxhall Insignia
GSi, amongst a long list of others.
In this month’s twin test, we pitch two of the most expensive diesels
on sale in the UK, the Bentley Bentayga and long wheelbase Range Rover.
We’ve also been behind the wheel of the all-new Volkswagen Polo, the
updated Mazda CX-3 and Ford Mondeo Nero Vignale. And with a 4×4 theme to
this month’s issue, we test the Volvo V90 Cross Country, Skoda Octavia
Scout, Land Rover Discovery Sport SD4 and Renault Kadjar 4×4.
In this month’s A-to-Z, it’s focused on everything you need to know
about towing, 4x4s and off-roading. Richard Dredge meets members of the
Land Rover CVC register, which specialises in factory owned and
significant models from the company’s past, including some rather
special Freelanders, Discoverys and Range Rovers. Elsewhere, Gavin
Braithwaite-Smith says goodbye to Skoda’s Yeti in great style, and James
Fossdyke goes sand duning in a Nissan Navara pick-up.
In EcoCar, we’ve got the first information on Nissan’s
second-generation Leaf, news about Jaguar’s electrification plans, and
take a look at the MINI Electric Concept, the updated BMW i3 and the
Honda CR-V Hybrid. We also test the Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid on UK
roads for the first time.
