Auto Express Newsletter, 10th Apr 2008

***

Dear Criss,


Like a Focus, only four-wheel drive. That’s what we all hoped for from the new Kuga, which hopes to steal the limelight in the compact-SUV class. Has it succeeded? Auto Express can deliver the definitive result – read it here.


Just as the Kuga hits the road, MINI’s new Crossman has broken cover. Our exclusive images show how the Ford will have a fashionable new rival from the legendary British brand.


Don't miss our verdict on Audi's sensationally styled new A4 Avant – and our first drive in the controversial X6 crossover coupe from BMW.


Finally, if you want something a little more eco-friendly than all these SUVs, then check out our green twin test. We pitch VW's Golf Bluemotion against the Efficient Dynamics equipped BMW 118d.
