Volvo S60 DRIVe & V60 DRIVe launch

The Volvo V60 DRIVe This week we’re out playing with a Volvo DRIVe model, although our car is the S40 DRIVe. DRIVe models are Volvo’s push at all things green (or all things blue if you’re German) and take a regular Volvo and eco the bejesus out of it with stuff like stop-start, low rolling resistance tyres and the plethora of eco-toys car makers use to make the headline economy and emissions unbelievable. The result is a Volvo that drives pretty much the same as any Volvo but which can – as long as you play the eco-driving game – run almost on fresh air, and because cars like this are designed to hit emissions targets on official cycles, they’re also good on stuff like VED and BIK. And if the S40 DRIVe we’ve got this week is anything to go by, you can still drive with enthusiasm and enjoy it as long as you don’t mind the economy suffering.

Events to fire up your Independence Day

AAA expects 34.9 million people to travel at least 50 miles from home this Fourth of July weekend. We don't know where they're heading, but it looks like they have quite a few options. Our favorites?

Jaguar XE (2016)

The XE is Jaguar's rival to the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class. It's the smallest of Jaguar's sedans, fitting into the range below the XF and XJ. It's the first production model to use Jaguar's aluminum architecture that's intended to reduce weight, yet increase flexibility for both engineers and designers.
