History and profile[]

Launched in September 1988, its 1,000th issue was published on 20 February 2008. Its only weekly competitor in Britain is the long established Autocar. In 2011, Auto Express was the biggest selling motoring magazine in Britain, with a circulation of 60,840.[4]

Auto Express is known for its spy shots, and speculative illustrations of forthcoming cars. It also covers news, road tests, first drives, readers' letters and feedback, product tests, long term tests, used cars, prices, motorsport and comment columns. It has sister magazines in France: Auto Plus, and Germany: Auto Bild which follow the same format.

Since April 2001, Auto Express has published the J.D. Power rivalling "Driver Power" satisfaction survey, which shows the one hundred best and worst cars to own that year.[5] Since 2002, Lexus has scored consecutive top ratings in the Auto Express customer satisfaction surveys in the United Kingdom.[6][7][8]

In 2021, Auto Express and the rest of Dennis Publishing's automotive assets were spun-off as independent company called Autovia.
