Latest Executive Cars road tests
BMW 5-Series Saloon
520d EfficientDynamics - A company car, fleet driver special sounds like it should a recipe for a stripped bare econo-box. However, we’re talking about BMW here and the 520d EfficientDynamics is anything but pared down. If anything, BMW has come up with one of its best ever cars in honing the 5 Series to sub-120g/km carbon [...]
BMW M5 Saloon
2011 - Super saloons are very much in vogue, with the Mercedes E63 and CLS 63 AMGs, Audi RS6 and Jaguar XFR all attracting buyers. However, the original super saloon is the BMW M5 and it’s back with a bang in a more powerful, more efficient form. Is 560bhp and 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds enough to put the M5 ba [...]
Jaguar XF
2.2D 190 autos - There is no missing the new Jaguar XF on the road. It has an all-new front end with slimline headlights incorporating distinctive LED lighting strips. The grille is bigger and more upright, the bonnet both lower and boasting a wider power bulge, while the lower bumper twisted chrome fins are even mo [...]
Audi A6 Saloon
2.0 TDI - The 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine in the Audi A6 is the core model of this executive range and accounts for around 75% of all sales in the UK. This is the key model for fleet drivers, but private buyers will also be attracted to the new A6 with the small diesel thanks to its generous power and econom [...]
Audi A6 Saloon
2011 3.0TDI quattro SE S tronic - Seventeen years after the first A6 comes the all-new, fourth-generation A6. With a lightweight aluminium/steel composite construction and bursting with the latest technology, Audi’s new mid-sized exec saloon looks set to continue where the previous model left off; as the world’s top selling car in i [...]
Saab 9-5 Saloon
2010 - The new Saab 9-5 almost became a trivia question, along the lines of ‘Which production car was fully developed and shown, but never actually built?’. Because when General Motors cut it Swedish subsidiary loose at the end of 2009, the company’s future looked bleak, until the Dutch boutique sports car [...]
BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo
530d - Back in the old days, before carmakers started devoting their energies to creating new niches to tempt buyers into spending their cash, you had a simple choice: if you wanted a family car, you either bought a saloon or an estate, if you wanted a bit more space. The 4x4 muddied the waters slightly, b [...]
BMW 5-Series Saloon
530d and 535i - BMW’s 5 Series could quite justifiably be described as a business tool for successful executives. Large numbers are sold as company cars, their existence pointing to the status of the driver. And because of their use for business purposes, the vast majority of 5s are powered by diesel engines. The 5 [...]
BMW 5-Series Saloon
2010 - The all-new BMW 5-Series has a lot to live up to after the runaway success of its predecessors. Its looks are not as radical as the previous model’s, but underneath BMW has been busy making improvements. There are also more frugal and environmentally sound engines, and there’s also stop-start engine [...]
Volvo S80
DRIVe - The big attraction with the S80 in DRIVe form is its superb economy and emissions. You may have to trade some performance when picking the 1.6-litre turbodiesel engine, but the reward for company drivers comes in the form of a much reduced benefit in kind payment to the tax man. [...]
Citroen C6
3.0 HDI Exclusive - The C6 is a Parisian boutique hotel room on wheels; the bulb in that vintage bedside lamp may keep blowing but those curtains will still look amazing. It’s chic, quirky and pretentious with technology that leaves you wanting for nothing; it’s innovative Citroën at its best offering a super smooth r [...]
Cadillac CTS
It may have had a starring role in The Matrix film, but the Cadillac’s CTS’s performance is less than enthralling away from the silver screen. The CTS range is only being offered with thirsty, high emissions petrol engines where most of the competition offers fine turbodiesels. Company drivers will [...]
Jaguar XF
3.0 litre diesel S - Weighed down with a multitude of fully deserved awards the executive-sized Jaguar XF range has been revised for its 2010MY; out goes the 2.7 litre diesel and 4.2 litre petrol engines replaced with two closely related 3.0 litre diesels and three petrol options. Have the engineers at Jaguar managed to [...]
BMW 5-Series Saloon
520 d - Cars do not come much more legendary than the BMW 5-series. Now in its fifth generation the car has been manufactured by the German carmaker since 1972. The current version, the one reviewed here, was updated in 2008, and comes with a choice of five engines – 2.5 and two 3.0 litre petrol with a 2.0 [...]
Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon
Mercedes-Benz included 2,000 technical changes in developing the current E-Class, many of them made in an attempt to win over those customers who had been disillusioned by the reputation it had gained for unreliability since the last overhaul in 2002. These developments have done the job, though, of [...]
Chrysler 300C
3.0 V6 CRD - The 300C has proved a big success for Chrysler since first going on sale in 2005. Its striking good looks and attractive pricing made it a tempting proposition for execs wanting an imposing luxury car without having to re-mortgage. Then, in early ’08, some wise revisions made it even more tempting. [...]
Jaguar XF
The Jaguar XF looks every bit as good as it drives. It’s visually stunning and has excellent road manner, the XF is the perfect companion. [...]
Chrysler 300C
3.0 CRD diesel - An effortless drive featuring excellent ride and handling. A large car inside and out, the 300C has a secure feel. Offers great value for money. [...]
Audi A6 Saloon
2.0 TDi S-Line 4 Door Manual - A brilliant performer with a beautiful interior. A safe a solid feel from this spacious and practical model. Driving the car was a pleasure – especially on long journeys. [...]
