It’s the battle of the hatches as three European Car of the Year champions tackle each other for class honours… Will the new Opel Astra best the venerable Volkswagen Golf; or will the left-field but rather wonderful Peugeot 308 sneak a win? Dive in on page 60.

Other tests in this bumper issue include the new Mercedes-Benz C300 Coupe, Volvo’s XC90 T8 squares up against its big hybrid-SUV rival, the BMW X5 xDrive40e, we ask whether the new Hyundai i20 1,4 Sport is a worthwhile addition to the warm-hatch fray and ponder if the new Kia Soul 1,6 Diesel is the best light crossover in the market.

Away from the rigours of testing, deputy editor Terence Steenkamp drove the new Porsche 718 Boxster, tech ed Nicol Louw lived the high life in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Convertible and journalist Wilhelm Lutjeharms visited India to find out more about Mahindra’s plans.
