Diesel&EcoCar Magazine January 2025 Edición anterior

The cover of the January 2025 issue of Diesel&EcoCar may be shocking pink, but its contents will be familiar to anyone that is a regular reader of the magazine. We’ve got all of your favourite features and articles, including the news section that reports on the new Jaguar Type 00, and the controversial strategy to relaunch the brand. We’ve also got the first pictures of the interesting new DS No.8, the new Hyundai Ioniq 9 electric SUV and the curvaceous Audi Q5 Sportback. There’s the latest news on the Vauxhall Luton plant closure, as well as first pictures of the Ford Puma Gen-E. There are updates for the Mazda CX-60, Alfa Romeo Tonale, and Toyota Yaris, news of GT versions of the Kia EV6 and EV9, and a review of the Government’s ZEV mandate.

We’ve been testing the new Frontera, Vauxhall’s baby SUV, as well as the cheapest electric car on sale in the UK, the Dacia Spring. Check out our first drive reports on the BMW 1 Series and Volkswagen Golf GTE, as well as tests of the eye-catching Abarth 600e, the Chinese Omoda E5, and the gullwing MG Cyberster. We have also put the facelifted Citroën eSpaceTourer through its paces, as well as the updated Honda HR-V hybrid. In addition, we welcome the DS 4 to our long-term fleet in mild hybrid guise.

We have an ultimate A-to-Z on the annual MoT test, including hints and tips on getting your car through the rigorous test, and explain what the Government’s ZEV mandate is all about. We report on Hyundai’s cutting-edge robotic shoulder in Techzone and examine whether the drink drive limit should be reduced to the same level as Scotland, and some other European countries. In our comprehensive used car section, we look at three generations of the Renault Clio, there’s a comprehensive used car buyer’s guide on the second-generation Nissan Leaf and we remember Peugeot’s innovative 1007 city car.
