The eDrive40 features one electric
motor on its rear axle producing 335bhp.
It delivers adequate performance, with a
six-second 0-62mph time and a level of
grunt that feels equivalent to a punchy
petrol-engined executive saloon.
However, while the previous-generation
5 Series wasn’t exactly lacking when it
came to refinement, this new i5 is simply
superb; it feels more like a 7 Series
because it’s so quiet on the move.
The ride is also smooth and controlled,
thanks to stroke-dependent dampers,
even over badly broken roads.
These rougher sections mean you can
feel the electric saloon’s weight; it tips
the scales at more than 2.2 tonnes, so
the suspension sometimes struggles to
contain the bobbly wheel movement,
and the stiffness of the springs needed
to control the car’s mass becomes

uncomfortable or harsh.

EV it has lost some of its trademark

driver engagement and agility.
The steering is light but precise and
you can drive the car quickly through
bends, with a good level of grip and
confidence-inspiring handling. However,
the undercurrent of lethargy due to its big
battery – and how the i5 behaves when you
increase the pace – means it doesn’t offer
the last degree of enjoyment or capability.
We suspect this won’t matter to many
buyers, though, with the improvements
in refinement being a bigger draw.
For those that want more performance
and engagement, there’s the £97,745 i5
M60 xDrive, which features an extra electric
motor on its front axle for a total of 592bhp
and 830Nm of torque. This is enough for a
0-62mph time of 3.8 seconds.
It’s a genuinely rapid car, especially when
you pull the eBoost paddle for maximum
performance. Traction is superb and the
M60 deploys its considerable thrust without
any protest. There’s good balance, too, and
while the 5 Series’s trademark weight
distribution isn’t as obvious in the i5 – the
feeling is that of significant mass, regardless
of where it’s located relative to the car’s front
and rear – you can sense when the grip is
running out; it just does so quite quickly,

Agency revolution heralds t

of haggling over new-car p
SPECIAL REPORT Car makers are taking control of the new-car buying experience, but this will have knock-on
Toby Knight
MOST customers won’t be aware of it,
but there’s a revolution taking place in the
motor industry. The way new cars are sold
is set to change forever, with haggling due
to become a thing of the past and the car
makers taking direct control of the deals.
The move to the so-called ‘agency model’
is controversial, because it will change the
way cars have been sold for more than a
century. But what does it mean for you,
the car buyer? Will it make buying easier
and less stressful, and will you still
be able to find a bargain?
What is the agency model?

THE traditional franchise model sees a car
maker giving its dealers a set profit margin,
based on the recommended retail price. In
addition, they will usually offer a bonus for
reaching targets. It’s up to the dealer to
decide the price the customer is ultimately
charged, which is where ‘haggling’ comes in.
The customer is managed almost entirely
by the dealer, who also has to take the
financial risk of buying in new-car stock. Hit
all the targets, retain the full margin and a
dealer could earn around 14 per cent of the
car’s price on a sale, an insider told us. REVOLUTION James Baggott

upstart arrived in the shape of Hot Wheels.
Founded by US toy giant Mattel, Hot Wheels drew LEE JOHNSTONE Owner of
inspiration from the late-sixties car scene that pervaded Volvo P1800-based drag racer
the brand’s home state of California. That meant a range
of brightly coloured muscle cars and hot rods that weren’t
necessarily accurate replicas, but served Hot Wheels’
mission to make them as fast as possible on the bright-
orange track sets that the company also launched.
Fast forward to 2023, and Hot Wheels is celebrating 55
years of making diecast cars of every description. Compared
with the original 1968 line-up, the current range is hugely
eclectic, with modern production cars, classics, racers of all
classes, novelty models, pop-culture tie-ins and even the
occasional reappearance of an original casting. As well as the
standard supermarket and toy-shop cars for kids, there are
higher-quality scale models, limited editions and rarities
offered to tempt adult collectors to relive their childhoods.
But what goes into creating a Hot Wheels car? To find
out, we spoke to one of the brand’s lead designers, and we
went to Somerset to meet the builder of an extraordinary
car that has made the journey from the UK’s drag-racing
scene to toy aisles across the globe.
Competition time
For its 50th anniversary in 2018, Hot Wheels launched the
Legends series, a competition where vehicles are entered to
become immortalised as a toy car. And in 2021 the contest
had its first UK winner, Lee Johnstone and his 1969 Volvo
P1800. We say Volvo, but as you can see from the pictures,
Lee’s P1800, dubbed ‘Ain’t No Saint’, isn’t exactly a replica
of Simon Templar’s machine from the sixties TV show.
“The shell is probably the cheapest part of the car,” Lee
told us. “I wanted to build a car for drag racing and was
looking for something American, but then this came up for
£800 and I couldn’t say no.” It was initially constructed in
2014 by Lee and co-builder Steve Wright in the style of a
‘gasser’, a type of dragster that was popular in the sixties.
Back then, tyre grip was in short supply, so builders
jacked-up a car’s front end to help transfer weight over
the back wheels for traction, which was much needed,
considering how much power the big V8s provided. The
result is that gassers tend to look cartoonish by default,
and Lee’s Volvo was an obvious candidate for a toy car
from the outset: “We had comments that it looked like
a Hot Wheels as soon as we finished it,” Lee said.
Ain’t No Saint has some heavyweight statistics to match
its looks. The engine is a 460 cubic-inch (7.5-litre) ‘big-block’
Chevrolet V8 with a 6-71 GMC supercharger bolted on top
that’s fed by the air intake that sits taller than the car’s roof.
While the P1800 hasn’t been tested on a dyno, scrap-
paper sums put power at around the 650bhp mark. This

ACURAINTEGRA
FOR those with a long memory, the Integra means only one thing – Honda’s
performance icon of the nineties, which was the first Type R sold in the UK. But
the Integra name was revived in 2021 in the US under Honda’s upmarket Acura
brand, and while the hatch is as smart and capable as you would expect, it’s
what’s coming next that has us looking across the Atlantic enviously.
According to Acura, a Type S version will deliver “ultimate street performance
with a high-revving driver experience”. Its 300bhp-plus engine will come from
the Civic Type R, and if past form is anything to go by, it promises to be great
to drive – if not quite as extrovert as its much-loved predecessor.
DODGECHALLENGER
IT’S one of America’s most revered muscle cars, but change is on
the cards for the Challenger, with an electric model scheduled
for 2024 and Last Call special editions currently being rolled

And while the market for a Jeep Wrangler rival is small in the UK, there was

miss out as it is made available in select European markets this year.
London dealer Clive Sutton can bring a left-hand-drive model in if you’re
really keen, but we’d love to see the Bronco offered here officially. Just imagine

NIOET5
SHANGHAI-based EV maker NIO has told Auto Express it IS coming to Britain.
But contrary to some online reports, no time frame has been confirmed for
the firm’s UK debut, nor do we know specifically which models we’ll be
getting – although we’re confident the ET5 will be in its plans.
Let’s hope so, at any rate. Not only does the saloon look great, but with
the potential for 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds and a range of up to 620 miles,
it has all the right credentials to make anyone considering a Tesla Model 3
think twice. There’s also an even more practical estate option, if that suits.

HYUNDAIELANTRAN
THE outstanding progress of Hyundai’s N performance division has been
one of the most welcome developments of recent years. But one N model
we’re missing out on is the Elantra. While similar to the i30 N that it shares
parts with, it’s not quite as focused, proving a bit more mature to drive.
That’s not a bad thing, though, because the 276bhp saloon takes on a
pleasing character of its own – and offers genuine practicality, too. While
it’s undeniably better suited to the US market it was developed for, we
certainly wouldn’t quibble if it made its way over here.

OWNED by Geely, which also counts Volvo, Polestar and Lotus in its stable,
Zeekr is another premium EV brand from China that is preparing an assault
on the European market. Its intentions for the UK, though, are less clear.
If emulating Tesla’s ability to surprise is part of its agenda, it has scored
a direct hit with the 009, an outlandish MPV that offers more than 500 miles
of range. With six seats, brutal lines and an imposing nose, few cars are
capable of making a statement while carrying your kid’s five-a-side football
team. Little wonder the brand has been dubbed Attention Zeekr by some.

CAN an electric car be fun to drive? EV

powertrains have proved on countless
road tests that they’re smooth, quiet and
efficient, but delivering a fun drive is
still something of a challenge.
It’s an issue that car makers will need
to address when it comes to electric hot
hatchbacks. This is a market where
qualities such as excitement, feedback
and character matter, so a hot EV will need
to be pretty special to make an impact.
The Abarth 500e is one of the first true
electric hot hatches on the market, and
to find out whether it has what it takes,
we’re lining it up against one of the most
entertaining small EVs we’ve tried so far.
In all its forms, the MINI is a charming
city car, but it’s also loads of fun to take

Practicality
IT’S unlikely that either of these cars
will be bought on the strength of their
rear-seat accommodation, but the MINI
has a very slight edge when it comes to
overall space and comfort.
REAR SPACE: There’s only a few

millimetres in it, but the MINI has a
tiny bit more space in the back than the
Abarth. The seat squabs are longer, too,
so they offer more under-thigh support.
Headroom is also more generous,
although the narrower glass area all round
makes it feels a little more gloomy than
the Abarth, even with the standard sunroof.
BOOT: Neither car has a vast boot, but the

MINI just pips its rival, with a 211-litre
volume. The load lip is a little lower,
Headroom: 884mm too, so it’s easier to lift items inside.
Legroom: 490 to 702mm The 60:40 rear seat backs fold to create

Rivals and other options

The Abarth 500e wins our twin test, but what else is out there?
SAME CLASS
Honda e
THE Honda e isn’t pitched to buyers as a hot hatchback; instead, its maker wants it to be
seen as a tech-laden city car with gorgeous cabin design and an exterior that’s unlike
anything else on the road. But while it ticks those boxes, it also delivers for the keen driver.
Find a twisty road and the Honda e is loads of fun; sophisticated suspension and the
rear-mounted electric motor help to push the car out of tight turns with enthusiasm.
However, there are flaws. In the real world you’ll struggle to cover more than 100 miles on
a full charge, which considering a hefty £37,395 price tag, is too much of a compromise.
● Gorgeous design ● Tiny range

● Fun to drive ● High price
● More spacious than Abarth ● Slow charging rate
SAME MONEY
MG4 XPower
COMPARE the specs of the Abarth and MINI to the MG4 XPower’s, and you’ll be
gobsmacked at how much the MG can offer for £36,495. It has double the motor
count and more than double the power, too, with 429bhp and 600Nm. That’s nearly
as much as a Mercedes-AMG A 45, and 0-62mph takes only 3.8 seconds.
To handle that power, MG has stiffened the front suspension by 25 per cent over the
standard MG4, the rear is firmed up by 10 per cent and 18-inch wheels cover bigger
brakes. It’s not the most sophisticated of drives, but there’s no denying its excitement.
● Stunning straight-line speed ● Chassis lacks polish

● Bargain price ● Plain interior design
● Spacious cabin ● Small boot

Kim Adams from a Fiat 500X
THE shrinking number of producers and an Audi A3
making the latest high-performance halogen
bulbs has allowed us to also include HID gas
discharge lamps in our annual test.
For the halogen lamps we returned to the
double-filament dip and main-beam H4 (we
tested the former) and sought out those
promising 200 per cent more light somewhere
in the beam. To ensure we test what’s in the
stores, we bought bulbs from Philips, Twenty20,
Osram and its subsidiary Ring, which also
supplies the same lamps to Halfords for the
store’s own-brand and exclusive Ring Pro lines.
Our last HID (high-intensity discharge) test
was in 2015, when we assessed D1S lamps.
Environmental concerns over the mercury they
contained have seen the focus switch to D3S
since then, making it the biggest seller in the
aftermarket, with growing sales as cars fitted
with them reach the end of the five-year life of
the lamps. For our test, we assessed a mix of
standard and performance versions.
So which are the ones to see you safely
through the dark days of winter? We headed
to Ring’s light lab in Leeds to find out.

TESLA has recalled the Model 3 eight times. The first
came in May 2020 because five cars made in January
and February 2020 left the factory with a missing
steering column bolt. Poorly secured brake-caliper
retaining bolts and seatbelts were behind the next two
campaigns, both of which were issued in May 2021.
There were two recalls in December 2021. The first
was because some cars were produced with faulty
suspension; the second was down to an airbag glitch.
Another three actions were issued in 2022. The first
was in February because some Model 3s were fitted
with parking-camera wiring looms that could chafe
and short circuit. The two most recent recalls came in
April 2022, the first because of faulty eCall software,
the other because of speedometer glitches.

£25,000 for a luxury saloon that will cross continents

THE OBVIOUS CHOICE
Mercedes S350Ld
FOR: Loads to choose from, impressive drivetrains
AGAINST: Bewildering model range, too complex?
WE’VE called this the obvious choice because

the S-Class is the best-selling car in this
category and a favourite in the limousine-hire
industry, so that tag is far from derogatory.
Sold new from 2013 to 2020, the monster
Merc offers quality, refinement and comfort,
plus some superb engines. The line-up is
huge and covers petrol, diesel, hybrid and
plug-in hybrid, all of which are within reach
for £25,000, but the 3.0 V6 diesel is by far the
most common. For £25,000 you can have a
55,000-mile S350Ld AMG Line on a 66-plate.
THE BRITISH CHOICE
Jaguar XJ
FOR: Excellent value, stylish design inside and out
AGAINST: Tight rear headroom, electronic glitches
THE original XJ was launched in 1968, but this

is the last of the breed, introduced in 2010.
Radically styled, it was initially available with
3.0 V6 diesel or 5.0 V8 petrol engines. At first,
the V8 came only in naturally aspirated form,
but from 2013 a 542bhp supercharged version
was introduced in the XJR; a supercharged
3.0-litre petrol unit arrived at the same time.
Most XJs on the used market have diesel
power and for £25,000 you can buy a 17-plate
60,000-mile 3.0d Portfolio or, if you prefer
petrol, a 2017 75,000-mile 3.0 V6 R-Sport.
THE DRIVER’S CHOICE
BMW 730Ld
FOR: Hi-tech interior, strong value, great engines
AGAINST: Not as good to drive as you might expect
BMW launched the sixth-generation 7 Series in

the UK in October 2015, in 3.0-litre six-cylinder
petrol (321bhp 740i) and diesel (261bhp 730d,
315bhp 740d) forms. There was also a 321bhp
740e plug-in hybrid, or for high-performance
fans, the 443bhp V8-powered 750i.
Virtually all used 7 Series are diesels and
prices start at £20,000 for a 100,000-mile 730d
on a 16-plate; a £25k budget bags a 90,000-
mile 740d or 740e from 2017, or how about a
70,000-mile 730Ld on a 66-plate? But for real
pace, a 70,000-mile 750i on a 66-plate could
be yours; just expect regular fuel stops.

NOBODY likes a smart-arse who cockily quips,

week DRIVEN
“I told you so.” But I’m here to humbly offer
opinions, suggestions, predictions plus facts. And the
fact of the matter is that – er, how can I delicately put
this? – I bloody well told you so.
As soon as pure-electric cars went mainstream,
starting with 2011’s Nissan Leaf at £31k, I declared
myself a fan of the tech and the driving experience.
But I was duty-bound to repeatedly tell you what
others refused to. I knew then what I know now
– that EVs are dogged by three major downsides: New Corsa rated
prohibitively high price tags; some over-ambitious First verdict from behind the wheel
of updated version of UK top seller
range claims; and a UK public charging ‘network’
that’s inadequate (still zero working chargers on the Mike
M2, for instance), unreliable (a serial offender is BP
Pulse) and, on too many occasions, overpriced (Genie
Rutherford TESTED
Motoring’s most outspoken
Point was charging a rip-off 95p per kWh in May). and opinionated columnist
And on the small matter of banning new petrol and sounds off
diesel cars from UK showrooms by 2030, it wasn’t a
case of me merely offering a personal view that this
EVs have three major
date was/is several years too early. Instead, I was
stating the blindingly obvious – that several problems: high price
companies in the global auto industry (comprising tags, over-ambitious
firms big and small, rich and poor, British and foreign,
range claims and an Revised Polestar 2
sophisticated and unrefined) could not and would
not be able to meet the deadline. Guaranteed. inadequate public vs Tesla Model 3
Via this column and other outlets, such as the BBC charging network Fresh-faced Swedish EV goes head
and LBC this year, I said EV sales remain “painfully to head with former Car of the Year
slow” because the “sums simply don’t add up” for most salaried individuals. So, so, true.
I also told Prime Minister Sunak that he “doesn’t have a clue about cars, the motor
industry and the 50 million daily car users (drivers and their passengers) who keep the
USED CARS
country moving”. Also, he learned from me that he “had to bite the bullet and admit that
the 2030 deadline can’t and won’t be met”.
In Auto Express on 13 September I went further by informing him that there are many
legal, legitimate and logical times and places for all types of ever-cleaner fuels (including
electricity, of course) powering all types of cars, occupied by all types of rich and poor
drivers and passengers, with all types of widely differing short or long-haul journey
needs. Moreover, I contended that the buying public must have more choice, not less.
And by 20 September he agreed – when he announced that, no ifs or buts, we can carry
on buying new petrol and diesel cars until at least 2035.
We name UK’s top
But that was just a start. We need more listening and positive motoring-related activity used warm hatch
on his part – including a halving of the VAT rate on new cars from 20 to 10 per cent. Also,
Nissan Micra, SEAT Ibiza and Suzuki
we must stop wasting scores of billions on that HS2 vanity project. It’s a no-no – not least Swift rivals compared and rated
because fares will be unaffordable and ‘railwaymen’ remain addicted to going on strike.
Also Rishi, drop your misguided passion for, and proposed massive investment in, ●
cars that drive themselves. The motoring masses aren’t asking for them. Just as they News l Product tests
didn’t ask for a 2030 ban on new petrol or diesel cars. It’s a big win for common sense, Drives l Features & Sport
consumer choice and democracy that the PM has been persuaded to scrap it.
Do you agree with Mike?
