ALTHOUGH WE MAY not be able to go out and enjoy our cars and driving at the moment, the motoring world still offers us lots of things to keep us interested and engaged to fuel our love of cars. Browsing the used car classified ads is one such thing. We’ve all lost hours searching the classifieds for that dream car, and then the same amount of time trying to come up with reasons not to subsequently go and buy it… That pastime can continue even now, as James Ruppert’s latest Bangernomics special (p36) makes clear. Although dealer showrooms might be shut, new car sales are actually still continuing. That’s thanks to the ability to buy cars online (which we tell you how to do on p42). This was a fast-growing area for…

“It remains to be seen if Ford will also offer a non-hybrid V8 option and a turbo four-cylinder engine” Ford’s muscle car icon, the Mustang, will enter its next generation in 2022 – and Autocar understands it will be brought into a new era with its first hybrid powertrain. An electrified variant of the Mustang will join the electric Mustang Mach-E, which is due to be delivered to customers from this autumn, as Ford’s electrification roll-out gathers momentum. Ford plans to launch 18 mild-hybrid and full-hybrid models by 2022, and the next Mustang is thought to be one of those. The firm is hoping for the new model to build on the success of the current, S550-generation car, which has been on sale since 2015 and was the first Mustang…

The next generation of Peugeot models will kick off with the all-new 308 in 2022 – and the range is set to include a hybrid hot hatch under the brand’s new PSE performance arm. When it was launched in 2014, the current 308 kick-started the transformation of the entire Peugeot range with a more confident design approach. The successful, more daringly styled 3008 followed, along with the 5008, 208 and 2008. The next 308 is set to play that role again by laying the groundwork for a new era of Peugeots when it goes on sale in just under two years’ time, most likely after a public debut towards the end of 2021. It will be built on an updated version of the EMP2 platform that underpins more than a…
