Autoesque

A broader grille, modified headlights (which can now house adaptive LED bulbs) and a redesigned bumper identify the latest Zafira Tourer. Together, they result in a front end that bears a noticeable similarity to the current Astra's.

One hundred years ago today, Dario Resta won the sixth Indianapolis 500 race driving a Peugeot L45. The L500 R HYbrid – which is really just a fantasy concept – celebrates this particular centenary.

This year marks three decades since the original M3 was launched. To celebrate such a momentous anniversary, BMW has created the 30 Jahre Edition.

To go with its model-year upgrades, the 2017 Nissan GT-R is getting a price increase. The entry-level version, for example, will cost £1,945 more than before.

Like the regular version, the latest Nissan GT-R Nismo is benefiting from some styling updates and a modernised dashboard.

Elongated side windows give the Škoda Atero somewhat unusual proportions, but squint hard enough and they recall the two-door Rapid which first appeared in 1984.

Overly fussy details don't do the new Peugeot 3008's styling any favours. It's as if the designers couldn't stop themselves from adding unnecessary flourishes in the pursuit of a distinctive look.

With the Swift, Suzuki already has a supermini contender. So the addition of the Indian-built Baleno to the range might seem like needless duplication.

Volvo has announced that a new Compact Modular Architecture will underpin its next-generation '40' series cars. The just-unveiled 40.1 and 40.2 concepts – an SUV and a saloon respectively – offer a glimpse of how two members of the range might look.

In 1966, Lotus founder Colin Chapman decided to relocate his company to a new factory in Hethel, Norfolk. Now, the fiftieth anniversary of that move is being celebrated by a series of special cars.

Although the i8 Futurism Edition isn't officially a BMW Art Car, the end result deserves to be.

Secure storage is the USP of Chevrolet's new High Desert upgrade for the Silverado LT, LTZ, and High Country full-size pick-ups.

Redesigned bumpers, new LED daytime running lights, revised alloy wheels and an updated paint selection identify the 2017 Abarth 595.

Consider anybody who buys a Mini Seven to be either a squanderer of cash or a mug. Sure, this limited edition boasts a unique and very tasteful colour scheme, but the premiums being charged are exorbitant.

BMW Motorrad has developed a special version of the R 1200 RT for notarzt (emergency doctor) duties. Intended to reduce response times in predominantly urban environments, it's going to debut at this week's RETTmobil 2016 emergency equipment trade show.

An Astra Sports Tourer in Kommandowagen Feuerwehr guise is one of the vehicles that Opel will be displaying at this year's RETTmobil emergency equipment show.

Officially, there are no plans to produce the GT86 Shooting Brake, but doubtless that position could quickly change if reaction to the concept is favourable enough.

Following its launch in China a year ago, MG's GS crossover has now arrived in Europe.

When UK sales begin in September, the new Fiat Tipo is going to cost from £12,995 to £19,995 without any cost options.

After the dieselgate emissions scandal , it's perverse that Volkswagen has decided to replace the Amarok pick-up's 2.0 litre four-cylinder diesel engine with a 3.0 litre V6 unit. Extra displacement is always going to create a perception of more pollution.

Electric cars are evolving at a swift rate. Indeed, the current pace of change might actually harm sales in the short term: 'range anxiety' could be replaced by 'technology anxiety', meaning people are reluctant to purchase because they're convinced that something much better is about to be launched.
