Audiâs new Q7 is diesel-only until next year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No, this isnât a belated Back to the Future sequel. No, you havenât tripped and stumbled into The Time Tunnel. Doctor Who has nothing to do with this, and itâs not 2010 all over again. All that being the case, yes, this new Audi Q7 really is launching to Irish customers with only the choice of two different versions of the same 3.0 litre V6 diesel engine. Itâs as if the intervening 16 years had simply not happened. Is Audi mad? Evidently not. For all the four-ringed brandâs global sale
BMW reinvents the petrol 3 Series for the Neue Klasse era â but thereâs a price (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BMW is betting on two horses in the same race, as it is about to introduce the high-tech, all-electric i3 saloon â an electric 3 Series in all but name â with its 900km range and ultra-fast charging, while simultaneously recreating the petrol-powered 3 Series for a longer life, investing a claimed â¬2 billion as it does so. In spite of the clamour for SUVs, the 3 Series remains totemic for BMW, and even though the X1 SUV is now the brandâs biggest seller, a 3 Series is still what most peo
Does going electric still save me money if my fuel is VAT-refundable? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I read the story on the estimation of the fuel savings of an electric car. Can you apply similar logic to my case? I drive a new Hyundai Tucson PHEV.

No such refund is available for electricity used in charging a car. Because of our circumstances, we spend a lot of time at home each day, using quite a bit
Nissanâs new Leaf is a big change, but it is ageing well (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nissan mugged us, and by us I mean the crowd of motoring journalists who had gathered to witness the launch of the latest, third generation Leaf in Ireland. And by mugged, I mean ⦠someone had dug out a video, shot during the original Leafâs Irish launch in 2010, which featured yours truly and some colleagues being vox-popped by someone from Nissan with a camera, asking us what we thought about the car way back then. In that video, I honestly appear to be 12 years old. Iâm surprised I didn
Forget bigger batteries: VW shows another way to boost EV range (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Volkswagen might be in crisis right now â shedding jobs and with even some ancillary brands potentially in the cost-cutting crosshairs â but the German firm is determined to prove that itâs still at the cutting edge of electric car technology with this, the Mission Efficiency concept car. Those with long memories might remember the Volkswagen XL1, which wasnât so much a concept as an incredibly limited-edition production car. It sought to squeeze as much mileage out of a litre of diesel
