Why expensive SUVs are pointless!

Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-0603 Can a £23,000 Dacia SUV beat a £74,000 off-road specialist around an off-road course? Well, it’s time to find out as we line the Dacia Duster up against the all-new Toyota Land Cruiser! When it comes to off-roaders, most people will automatically think of the Land Cruiser. This new edition comes equipped with a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel that produces 204hp and 500Nm. So the power output may not be massive, but there is so much off-roading tech built into it, from a low range mode, locking centre and rear differentials, and of course, several different driving modes. The thing is, while it can clearly perform off-road, it doesn’t come cheap! In contrast, the Dacia we have here comes in at just a third of the price of the Land Cruiser! It’s also down on power, with a 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine producing 130hp. It comes with an off-road mode, but otherwise, it lacks all of the off-road tech that the Land Cruiser comes equipped with. Moreover, the Duster is only fitted with winter tyres, while the Land Cruiser has all-terrain tyres. But the Dacia does have one trick up its sleeve. While the Land Cruiser weighs in at 2,335kg, the Duster tips the scales at just 1,390kg! Could that prove decisive during the off-road drag race? There’s only one way to find out!

New Audi A6 revealed: it has something BMW doesn’t…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gz_hxhgIgM

Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-0403 This is the all-new Audi A6 Avant! Audi has reversed its naming policy of even-numbered cars being electric only, so the new A6 Avant will come with both petrol and diesel engines! The question is, what else has changed? Let’s take a closer look. On the outside, the A6 has undergone a design overhaul, but it is still distinctly an Audi. Up front, there’s a large aggressive grille, flanked on either side by sharp headlights. Being an Audi, it’s naturally equipped with fantastic headlights, which come with the option to personalise in several different ways. Along the side the car sports flush door handles, and at the back there’s a large wraparound light bar, as well as a set of taillights. And of course, given it’s powered by a petrol or diesel engine, there looks to be a set of real exhaust tips as well! The A6 also looks super smart on the inside. It’s equipped with Audi’s latest panoramic driving display, as well as the option to add a third screen for the front passenger! The A6 is likely to be equipped with soft-touch materials throughout most of the cabin, and there are ambient lights fitted throughout. It looks seriously impressive! Regarding engines in the UK, there will be a choice of a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol or diesel engine. The petrol is front-wheel drive, while the diesel comes with a mild hybrid system and is equipped with Quattro all-wheel-drive – both cars produce 204hp. Elsewhere a 3-litre turbo V6 will also be available, and an S6 is also in the works. We also hope that a petrol-powered RS6 will arrive in the not-too-distant future! The new Audi A6 goes on sale from April 1st 2025 costing from £52,500. So is it the best premium estate around? Or is a 5 Series Touring the better option? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself! Chapters

How this 760hp Maserati is only £2,000

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqriEzJgvSE

Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-1202 This is the all-new Maserati GranTurismo Folgore! It marks a significant milestone as Maserati's first fully electric vehicle, embodying the brand's commitment to luxury and performance in the electric era. "Folgore," meaning "lightning" in Italian, aptly reflects the car's electrifying capabilities. The GranTurismo Folgore maintains Maserati's iconic design language, featuring a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette with a low stance. Up front, you’ll find the usual large grille, flanked by sharp LED headlights. The sculpted bodywork and distinctive trident emblem on the front and rear further emphasise its luxury sports car heritage. Step around to the rear, and no fakery can be found here. It all looks smart and elegant, as you’d expect. Inside, the GranTurismo Folgore is doused in soft-touch, high-quality materials throughout the cabin. There are two screens in the centre of the dash – one housing the infotainment system, and another for managing the climate controls. The seats are comfortable and premium, and the steering wheel's physical buttons allow the driver to easily control functions. At the heart of the GranTurismo Folgore is a sophisticated electric powertrain comprising three motors—two at the rear and one at the front—delivering a combined output of 751hp. This setup enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds, showcasing its impressive performance capabilities. The 83kWh battery allows for a range of up to 280 miles on a single charge. But of course, it doesn’t come cheap! The Maserati GranTurismo Folgore costs around £180,000 – a whole lot more than a petrol-powered GranTurismo. But is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself. Chapters
