Autocar magazine 17 April: on sale now

This week in Autocar, we detail Alfa Romeo's new BMW M3-beater, drive Skoda's Swiss army knife, and find out why the boss of Jeep is bullish about the company's future.

News

The next Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio will arrive in 2026 as its most potent car to date, nudging 1000bhp and on-board AI that can tweak its handling - we have every detail. We also take a look at Alfa's long-awaited new SUV, the Milano, as it looks to target a 'new generation' of buyers.

Meanwhile at Mercedes, the EQS has been treated to a new face and range boosted by 11% - we've got the lowdown on the BMW i7 rival.

The best-selling Nissan Qashqai has also received a mild facelift to bring it in line with the electric Ariya, complete with sharper lines and a new face inspired by Japanese samurai helmets.

We also cover Porsche's decision to keep the Boxster, Cayman and Macan on sale in the UK, and why Aston Martin is set to keep combustion powertrains for as long as it can.

Reviews

The new Skoda Kodiaq has arrived bigger and swisher, offering seven-seat petrols and diesels and, for the first time, a plug-in hybrid. We find out if it still has the enduring appeal of the outgoing car.

BMW's best-seller, the X3, has been given an overhaul in every department - we head to France to drive a pre-production prototype.
