About Autocar

For more than 125 years, Autocar has been at the forefront of automotive journalism, delivering the world's most authoritative car reviews, and news which leads the global agenda.

Autocar is the original car magazine. First published in 1895 ‘in the interests of the mechanically propelled road carriage', it has plotted the entire history of the automobile. In 1928, its review of the Austin 7 Gordon England became the first road test of a car published anywhere in the world.

Today, Autocar covers the entire car industry, from the in-depth car reviews for which it made its name, through to the news stories that lead the automotive agenda, and the world's best features and used car editorial.

Autocar.co.uk is the world's foremost and most trusted authority on the world of cars, covering its exclusive news content, and reviews of every car that matters.

The world's best car reviews

Autocar's team of expert road testers boast well over 100 years of experience between them. They travel the globe to deliver the definitive first car review verdicts from every new-car launch that matters to the British motorist.

Every week, Autocar publishes its world-beating road test. The road test team forensically examine cars, assessing quality, practicality, performance and ride and handling, taking their own key measurements on the way. From this, the team delivers the road test verdict – and the most authoritative in the industry.
