Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron review: new sexy roof, same solid EV

2 weeks ago | buff.ly | Steve Walker

The Q6 e-tron comes across as Audi’s most convincing electric car to date. The Sportback version gives improved EV range and a sportier shape for a modest reduction in practicality, and a £2,500 premium. The car is still very much in the familiar Audi vein - solid, secure, comfortable and classy but without necessarily entertaining the driver as much as some rivals can. With its Sportback models Audi has absolutely nailed the commodification of the curvy car roofline.

Audi’s new-generation plug-in hybrid technology combines its petrol and electric power sources well and slots into the A5 to create a high-quality, comfortable and relaxing compact executive car. It matches rivals for efficiency but isn’t the most rewarding car to drive in the class.

BYD Dolphin Surf review

1 month ago | autoexpress.co.uk | Steve Walker

BYD has high hopes for the Dolphin Surf and in many respects it’s right to. The car is priced to compete at the value end of the city car market, but it has the space and sophistication of something significantly larger. Maybe it lacks the design flair to lure fashionable buyers from the more trendy alternatives but a smooth, refined driving experience, low costs and a roomy, good-quality cabin will be enough for those of a more practical persuasion.
