In Auto Express this week we find out if the latest Type R is really worth the cash, or whether the smart money still lies with the previous generation model
In this week’s issue of Auto Express we pit the latest Honda Type R hot hatch against the previous-generation car to see which model offers the best bang for your buck.
We also find out if the Alfa Romeo Tonale has what it takes to beat the capable Volvo XC40 in a plug-in hybrid battle.
Plus, we have a scoop on the new Fiat Tipo, as the Italian manufacturer reveals plans for its VW Golf rival.
In the drives section we hit the road in the open-top Mercedes SL, and get to grips with Hyundai’s impressive Ioniq 6 – could it be the the hottest EV in 2023?
If that wasn’t enough we have an SUV-inspired used test with the Ford Focus Active taking on the Kia XCeed.
