Audi RS3 Sportback vs Mercedes-AMG A45S: £60k 400bhp 4×4 hyper-hatch showdown | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcDEcq4AmY0

Welcome to the £120,000, 800bhp hot hatch twin test you’ve all been waiting for: the brand new Audi RS3 vs the mighty Mercedes-AMG A45S. It’s a sign of the times we’re living in – the last days of anything-goes internal combustion – that the latest VW Golf R or even a Porsche 911 Carrera are simply not powerful enough to come along and play. But which one out of these two £60k 400bhp 4×4 mega-hatches (both of which are more than happy to drift) makes the most sense? We sent Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing Ollie Marriage to a small track in Wales to find out… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear MORE ABOUT TOP GEAR:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZ1JvRn-I2A

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz concept made its debut at the Detroit motor show way back in 2017, and TG – along with the rest of the world’s media – begged VW to make it. Within a few weeks they caved, and now at long last we have an actual date for the big reveal: 9 March 2022. Get that in your diary as we’ll be there. But before the final car is revealed we got behind the wheel of a suitably hippyish prototype. So here’s Top Gear’s Head of Car Testing – Ollie Marriage – with five things you need to know.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 Review: Interior, Price, Range & 0-60mph Test | Top Gear Tested

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4srUTEFV_XQ

Can Hyundai continue its excellent recent form (making good sensible cars and fun hot hatchbacks) into the world of EVs? That’s the question for the Hyundai Ioniq, the edgy electric family crossover that’s the first of Hyundai’s new family of Ioniq-badged EVs. Instead of using raw speed to sell it, this is an electric car groaning under the weight of thoughtful design touches, clever details – and one or two gimmicks – to lure you away from rivals like Ford, VW, and (you guessed it) Tesla. Is the Ioniq another smash hit for Hyundai? Top Gear Magazine's Serious Car Tester, Ollie Kew is here with the Tested treatment to find out.

FIRST LOOK: Genesis GV60 – Tesla Rival with Drift + Boost Mode? | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP1nL9_laoE

A Genesis is to Hyundai what a Lexus is to Toyota: a posher, plusher, more expensive offshoot eyeing BMW and Audi sales that the more humdrum cars from the mothership wouldn’t get anywhere near. So far Genesis has concentrated on conquering the USA, but it’s recently dipped a toe into Europe with brash saloons and SUVs and realised an electric crossover – a Tesla Model Y rival – is needed next.
 
That’s where the Genesis GV60 comes in: a designer-label electric car based on the talented underpinnings of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia’s EV6. So forget about range and recharging for a minute. This is an EV with a Boost mode. An EV that can drift (apparently). An EV that has a mystic fortune-telling ball for a gear-selector… sort of. It’s not your usual electric SUV, but Genesis needs to be a lot more than ‘the usual’ if it’s to succeed. TopGear.com’s Ollie Kew has been for a closer look at the new Genesis. Could it be the beginning of something? Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear MORE ABOUT TOP GEAR:

Volkswagen ID.4 Crossover EV Review: 0-60mph, Ride, Tech, Charging & Range | Top Gear Tested

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR7beKrtvVE

Volkswagen doesn’t tend to play fast and loose with family car design. The Golf, the Passat… hardly radical, are they? VW relies on common sense and sure-fire quality to sell its cars, but is that enough when it comes to the brave new world of EVs? The ID4 is VW’s electric crossover, sharing its base with the Audi Q4 e-tron and Skoda Enyaq but priced to rival the Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai Ioniq 5. Cars with risky, polarising ideas. So, is VW’s ID4 (and its annoying dashboard) a safe bet, or the dullest EV you can shake a charging lead at?

Tesla Model Y 2022 Review: 0-60mph, ride, handling, tech, charging & range | Top Gear Tested

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

At last, it’s the Tesla Model Y. You lucky Americans have been able to buy one of these for a couple of years, but only now has Tesla finally managed to get its taller, crossover sibling to the rapid-selling Model 3 into Europe. Must’ve been a heck of a queue at passport control. The Model Y’s arrived as Europe’s old guard has gone electric crossover crazy, but Tesla’s not-so-secret weapons against Audi, Mercedes and BMW are of course a giant touchscreen crammed with games and gimmicks, huge interior space and foolproof Supercharging – as well as strong range and swift performance. Can the Model Y hope to live up to its massive hype? Top Gear Magazine's Ollie Kew has the answers in this thorough new Tesla review. Chapters
