Diesel&EcoCar Magazine February 2025 Back Issue

On the bright red cover of the February 2025 issue of Diesel&EcoCar we announce the return of the Mazda6 to the UK lineup in 2026, albeit in electric guise this time around. In addition, we’ve got news of Toyota’s new Urban Cruiser, first pictures of the facelifted Skoda Enyaq, Tesla Model Y and Genesis GV60 and GV70, as well as a first look at the new BYD Atto 2, the Alfa Romeo Junior Q4 and the Leapmotor C10 REEV, a range extender SUV.

This month we test the facelifted diesel Mercedes-Benz V-Class, the Kia EV3, Skoda Superb iV plug-in hybrid estate, Vauxhall Grandland Electric, the Skoda Elroq, and the Fiat 600 Hybrid. We also welcome an MG ZS Hybrid+ to the long-term fleet and wave goodbye to our SEAT Ibiza.

We examine BMW’s new iDrive Panoramic screen, explain how Traffic Jam Assist works, and discuss whether more should be done to kerb road rage. In our packed used car section, we deliver an invaluable guide to buying a used Ford Kuga diesel, look at three generations of the Hyundai Santa Fe, and we look back at the Rover Streetwise, which in hindsight was probably ahead of its time.
