Autocar magazine 28 March – out now

This week: new Jaguar F-Pace SVR; updated Mini reviewed; how to get your first dream car; BMW M5 UK first drive

In this week's issue we meet the new Jaguar F-Pace SVR - the brand's first hot SUV and a car its maker claims can beat the Porsche Macan Turbo.

There's also a first UK drive in the new BMW M5, while Toyota's raucous Yaris GRMN is subjected to a full Autocar road test to see if the Japanese brand is truly back to its best.

Mercedes-AMG's C63 is here so we take an closer look at what's new. Plus, there's a first ride in a new autonomous pod that's already running in London.

Land Rover's plug-in hybrid Range Rover P400e Autobiography is rated, as is the facelifted Mini Cooper S.

Also in this issue

We take a city tour of Bristol to scope out its motoring treasures, before heading to much, much colder climates to get a first hand experience of its Arctic test centre.

The hammer falls at a British auction where we attempt to bag a bargain, and we also help you buy your first dream car with a helpful guide.

Geely design guru Peter Horbury reveals his plans for the Chinese giant and its new purchase, Lotus.

Plus, we learn about Bentley's Pikes Peak Bentayga to gauge the chances of this heavyweight.

Our cars

It's a hello for a Ssangyong Rexton, which joins the fleet as our most rugged new recruit.

One of our most dependable, the Volkswagen Golf GTI, further illustrates its worth with a trip to Bruges.

And our Land Rover Discovery seemed to have developed a smoking habit during the recent cold snap.

Deals

This week's deals section tries to temp you into a second-hand Skoda Fabia because "it's all the car you'll ever need".

We also suggest you spend your life a little more sideways with a bargain Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ, which can be had from just £8k.
