This week’s issue of Auto Express

With parts of the country under several inches of snow and ice, this week's issue of Auto Express – out on 23 January 2013 – features our exclusive 4x4 mega test. To mark the launch of the new BMW 320i xDrive, we've brought together five different four-wheel-drive systems - including the quattro-equipped Audi A6 Allroad and the Subaru XV and its permanent 50:50 split 4WD - to find out which tackles UK winter driving best.

Also in this week's issue, we have full coverage of the Detroit Motor Show, with details of the forthcoming Honda NSX, brand-new Audi RS7 and BMW 3 Series-rivalling Infiniti Q50.

In drives, we’ve been behind the wheel of the all-new Skoda Octavia for the first time, as well as the facelifted Ford Fiesta, Peugeot RCZ, Audi R8 Spyder and Mazda MX-5.

Plus, we have the latest product reviews, buying guides and consumer news, as well as Mike Rutherford’s views on Honda's decision to cut 800 jobs at its plant in Swindon.

Issue 1,252 is available to buy now, priced at £2.45. Alternatively, you can claim six issues for £1 and have the magazine delivered straight to your door every week or download our new iPad edition.
