If you’re shopping for a mid-sized SUV, the big question is: should this updated C5 be on your list? The C5 Aircross has a look that instantly stands out. At the front, you get a chunky, upright design with sleek headlights that give it a confident presence on the road. Move to the side and this range-topping model steps things up with a bold two-tone roof and massive 20-inch wheels. The futuristic vibe continues around the back with the updated Citroën logo, those distinctive fin-style taillights, and the matching plastic trim. Inside, the C5 Aircross is genuinely a nice place to sit. You get leatherette across the dash and upper door panels, plus large, vertically-oriented infotainment and digital driver displays. Sure, there are a few scratchy plastics lower down, but that’s normal at this price point. The steering wheel buttons feel premium, there’s loads of handy storage, and rear passengers get plenty of knee room. The C5 Aircross is available as either an ICE, PHEV or EV. If you want petrol power, you can choose a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine that comes with front-wheel drive and 145hp. Alternatively you can go for a plug-in hybrid which comes with a 1.6L turbo petrol engine producing 195hp to the front wheels. Finally, if you want an EV, you’ll find a single motor under the bonnet that drives the front wheels and delivers 213hp. In terms of price, a petrol-powered C5 Aircross starts from just £30,495, while the PHEV edition starts from £38,855. If you want to choose the eC5 EV (like the one in this video), it’ll cost you £40,670! So is the EV the right choice? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself! Chapters

We’ve got Mat in the brand new BMW M2 CS, and he’s going up against a Porsche GT4 RS! The BMW may have the advantage in both power and torque, but it’s no surprise that it’s heavier than the Porsche. Will that prove decisive? Let’s take a closer look at the stats. Starting with the BMW, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that produces 530hp and 650Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed torque converter gearbox, and the car tips the scales at 1,700kg. As new, it costs £92,475. Then we come to the Porsche. It’s packing a 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six, and this creates 500hp and 450Nm. Power is sent to the rears via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it weighs just 1,415kg. As new, it cost £125,500. So the BMW may have more power, but will the Porsche prove its worth for the extra £32,500? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Our merch store is now LIVE: https://bit.ly/Carwow-Merchandise It’s time for a Germany vs Japan off-road showdown! We’ve teamed up with the team from Arctic Trucks once again to hit up an off-road course to see which pick-up will come out on top – the VW Amarok, or the Toyota Hilux! Let’s take a closer look at the two contenders… The AT37 is based on the current-generation Hilux, so it comes with a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine that produces 204hp and 500Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed auto, and it weighs 2,200kg. The chassis and bodywork have been significantly re-engineered to accept 37” all-terrain tyres, upgraded front & rear differentials, as well as an adjustable performance suspension system. All in, the truck and the upgrades cost £78,000. As for the Amarok, it’s powered by a 3-litre V6 diesel and that produces 240hp. It also comes with a significantly re-engineered chassis and body, just like the Hilux, and gets similar 37” all-terrain tyres and an upgraded suspension system. However, while the Amarok may have a low-range mode, it doesn’t have rear locking differentials, while the Hilux does! Arctic Truck’s Hilux has already taken down the Defender in a previous video, but does it have what it takes to bring down the Amarok? You’ll need to stick with Mat and Sam to see for yourself!
