With a claimed top speed of 187 mph, Bentley boasts that the Bentayga is the fastest SUV in the world. The claim is made possible by a twin-turbo 6.0-liter W-12 that makes a mighty 600 hp; an eight-speed automatic drives all four wheels. A 542-hp 4.0-liter V-8 is also available. The interior can be configured to seat four or five, and only the finest leather will cosset those lucky posteriors. Options include 22-inch wheels, rear-entertainment tablets, and a 1950-watt, 20 speaker audio system.
Pros V-8 burble, tidier handling, less expensive yet still decadent.
Cons Still heavy, V-8 doesn’t enhance its looks, cool tech costs extra.
The 2018 Bentley Bentayga takes what you think you know about physics, comfort, and speed, and quickly sets a new highwater-mark for each.
Pros Decadent interior Supreme speed from W-12 Fastest SUV on the planet Abundant options Beautifully crafted interior and exterior
Cons Another level of expensive Unbelievably thirsty at the pump Smaller interior than you may be expecting All colors don’t look good
The new C3 is a fun little car - cheery, characterful and French. And, like a lot of French things, it isn't cheap. You won't be buying this with your head but I don't think Citroen is expecting unemotional purchasers to darken its doors. You have to want it - you're not looking for startling performance figures or exceptional value, you're looking for something out of the ordinary.
Pros Great looks Fun engine Terrific ride
Cons Lack of AEB Touchscreen hardware a bit slow Over-enthusiastic stop-start
The third-generation C3 is an altogether more accomplished offering than the second-gen C3 it replaces, a frumpy and humpy hatchback with lacklustre performance that had its genesis way back in 2009. Instead, Citroen has reinvented the C3, adding not only some much-needed style, but also injecting a performance lift thanks to a new drivetrain.
Pros Oozes style Beautiful ride Spacious interior, front and rear Thrummy three-pot engine sings
Cons Auto transmission hesitant at low speeds No AEB or blind-spot, hence 4-star ANCAP Expensive for the category
The Citroen C3 has quirky looks and a cabin that’s comfortable unless you’re a tall person in the back. However, it’s hard to drive smoothly in town and the infotainment system is clunky.
Pros Comfortable suspension Quiet cabin Quirky styling
Cons Average rear-seat space Hard to drive smoothly Infotainment isn’t the best
