Diesel&EcoCar Magazine February 2024 Edizione posteriore

The cover of the February 2024 edition of Diesel&EcoCar announces the facelifting of one of the biggest selling SUVs in the UK, with the Ford Kuga getting a mid-life update. The update encompasses a new Active model, as well as enhancements to the interior and exterior, and features revised hybrid and plug-in hybrid drivetrains.

We’ve also got the first photographs of the Nissan Ariya NISMO, a sneak preview of the exciting new Abarth 600e and updates for the Citroën E-SpaceTourer and Vauxhall Combo Life Electric. There’s news of Honda’s future EV plans and Kia announces a move into the world of vans, previewing some concepts.

This month’s twin test sees the Audi Q5 Sportback face the brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé, and we’ve also been driving Honda’s e:Ny1, the facelifted Volkswagen ID.3, the latest Toyota C-HR and the revised MG HS PHEV. The updated Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake is driven in diesel guise, we get behind the wheel of the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross and try out the Peugeot E-308 SW, the updated Vauxhall Corsa Electric and the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer Electric.

In the Buying, Selling and Maintaining section, this month’s buyer’s guide is all about the Kia Stonic 1.6 CRDi. As well as all of your favourite features and columns, we wave goodbye to three members of the long-term fleet as the Honda Civic, Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and Skoda Fabia move on to pastures new.
