Autocar magazine gets a facelift

This week saw the first edition of the new-look Autocar, which hit newsstands on 3rd August.

The new Autocar has a bold new look, a host of new features and returning old favourites to spruce up the world’s oldest car magazine, say publishers Haymarket. Throughout the magazine, the design is also cleaner, more modern and easier to navigate.

Encouraged by a consistently positive reaction to Autocar’s used car buying articles, says Haymarket, the section has been expanded from four to five pages each week and an in-depth focus on one particular car model has been brought back. The team have also reorganised the new car prices section, reducing the number of pages this takes up from nine to six in order to liberate space for other features.

Autocar Editor, Matt Burt, said: “Every self-respecting car manufacturer gives its models a cosmetic nip and tuck from time to time, and there’s no reason why car magazines shouldn’t do likewise.”

“We were also on a mission to add a sprinkling of extra flair and affection in places - we wanted to emphasise the message that we enjoy and get excited by cars every bit as much as our readers tell us they do.”
