UK’s cheapest plug-in hybrid tested in this week’s Auto Express

In Auto Express magazine this week we drive the new BYD Dolphin G and have an exclusive image of the shock new Vauxhall Astra

Auto Express Issue 1,938

In this week’s issue of Auto Express we hit the road in the new BYD Dolphin G to see if the UK’s cheapest plug-in hybrid can challenge the supermini elite.

We also have an exclusive image of the all-new Vauxhall Astra, which could go estate only. Plus, we take a closer look at the stunning electric BMW M Concept and get the lowdown on the reborn Audi A6 Allroad.

In the drives section we get an early taste of the new BMW X5, try out the Mitsubishi L200 pick-up and get behind the wheel of the Leapmotor B05.

If that wasn’t enough we have a budget seven-set SUV showdown as the MGS9 and Chery Tiggo 9 go head-to-head.

Our dealer network has 1,000s of great value new cars in stock and available now right across the UK. Find your new car now…
