Auto Express Newsletter, 19th Jul 2011

Dear Omss,

This week on autoexpress.co.uk we bring you the first drive of the new BMW 1 Series. Has it got what it takes to beat the upcoming new Audi A3 and Mercedes A-Class? Find out here. We’ve also had exclusive access to the Citroen DS5. Following in the footsteps of the DS3 and high-riding DS4, the DS5 is billed as a smaller and more stylish alternative to the Ford Mondeo and will start at £20,000 when it goes on sale next year. Read all the details here. Our road test team have pitted the new SEAT Alhambra against our current favourite MPV, the Ford S-MAX – is the newcomer a better multi-tasker? Find out here. They’ve also been behind the wheel of the new Volkswagen Beetle, Range Rover Evoque, Chevrolet Cruze and special edition Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo. We bring details of the new US supercar that’s poised to take the title of world’s fastest car, plus spy shots of Volkswagen’s £8,000 all-electric city car and the new Lexus GS. Read all about them here. Regards Dan Strong Digital Editor
