Souped up SUV - Suzuki gives its SX4 S-Cross a facelift. And: The Intermot - a motorcycle fair that makes visitors long to hit the open road.

A Jaguar is no longer necessarily out of reach for ordinary mortals. The XE is the marque’s entry-level sedan, and is available in Germany for prices starting at just under €37,000.

Every two years in early October automotive enthusiasts descend on Paris, where international carmarkers gather to present their latest creations to the world..

Drive it! checks out the Paris Motor Show and tests some big names in the mid-size and compact range.

Tatra ranks among the world's oldest automobile manufacturers. It began producing motor cars as early as 1897 in Kopřivnice in what is now the Czech Republic. Drive It! checks out a pioneer in aerodynamics: the Tatra 87.

The compact sports car segment is highly competitive. For years, the Golf GTI has dominated this sector. Now KIA has now launched the Cee'd GT with an output of 150 kW to challenge VW.

Drive it! revs up in swift, sporty cars, takes a look at family vans, and finally lands among the trucks at the IAA Commercial Vehicles trade fair in Hanover.

Drive it! takes a look at the Toyota Proace Verso, a compact family van with up to nine seats. We test the shortest of the three available body lengths - 4.6 meters. The car’s narrow width makes it very practical.A highlight of this van is the panoramic roof windows that turn a drive around the city into a sightseeing tour.

At the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes presented its new generation SL, known internally as W113. It was to replace the legendary 300 SL and the 190 SL. The concave roof earned the car its nickname 'Pagoda'.We take a look at the 280 SL, the model that came out in 1967. Its engine produced 170 horsepower and broke the magic 200-kilometer-an-hour barrier. The Pagoda was a big hit, especially in the United States, where more than half the production was sold.

What does the average person want in a sporty car? It should have plenty of power, yet not be a gas guzzler. And it ought to be fairly roomy, too. The Peugeot 308 GT is one of the more affordable entries in this category. We tested the version with the 2.0 liter, 133 kW diesel engine. It needs just 8.6 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h.Its top speed is 218 km/h. The diesel is available solely with a 6-speed automatic transmission and start-stop technology.
