There are cars that evolve, and then there are cars that leap forward. The Polestar 4 belongs firmly in the latter camp. It’s an SUV coupé that rethinks almost everything about the genre — including whether you really need a rear window.
When Mrs. B and I took a trip down to the Kelpies in it, the Polestar 4 turned nearly as many heads … Read the rest
VOLVO’S new EX30 is proof that the Swedish brand can do small and serious at the same time. It’s the company’s tiniest SUV yet — about the size of a VW T-Roc — but it arrives with huge expectations: a pure-electric line-up, up to 275 miles of range, and sustainability credentials that read like an eco-warrior’s CV. It’s also one of the most affordable … Read the rest
THERE’S posh, and then there’s the kind of quiet, confident luxury that can possibly slip under the radar. The Genesis Electrified GV70 belongs firmly in the latter camp. It doesn’t have a badge that screams status or a grille that looks like it’s trying to inhale pedestrians. Instead, it wafts onto the scene with the sort of serene self-assurance that … Read the rest
EVERY so often a new car brand arrives claiming to have cracked the electric SUV formula. Sleek looks, superfast charging, loads of tech and a whisper-quiet cabin — the promise is always the same.
The Xpeng G6 is the latest to make that pitch, a Chinese-built EV that wants to stand toe-to-toe with Tesla’s Model Y and the Hyundai Ioniq 5. On … Read the rest
EVERY EV these days claims to be the perfect family SUV, but very few actually get close. The Skoda Elroq Edition 85, though, feels like one of those rare cars that lands bang on the sweet spot — big enough for real-life duties, efficient enough for long trips, and sensible enough not to make your bank account flinch.
It’s essentially an Enyaq that’s dropped a waist size, and in Edition … Read the rest
YOU don’t expect a compact electric SUV to feel this polished. The Kia EV3 doesn’t just tick the boxes for range, practicality, and family-friendliness – it does it with enough style and tech to make some premium brands look a bit overpriced. With sharp looks, a long-range option of up to 375 miles, and Kia’s trademark value, the EV3 could … Read the rest
I’D LIKE to say the Ford Capri is back, but this new EV is as much like the original Capri as the Mustang Mach-E is like a true Mustang. i.e. not similar at all. Gone is the sleek, rear-wheel-drive coupé that graced British roads in the ’70s and ’80s. In its place stands a fully electric SUV coupé, sharing its … Read the rest
In the ever-growing universe of electric vehicles, the Kia EV6 continues to shine brightly. First launched in 2021 and now comprehensively updated for 2025, this new iteration of the EV6 is more than just a facelift, having a bigger battery capacity which provides up to 361 miles and some nifty tech updates that keep it ahead of the trailing pack. … Read the rest
The new Ford Explorer EV is a mid-sized, fully electric, family SUV whose name isn’t going to cause any controversy in the UK as virtually no one here has heard of the original American gas-guzzler. Unlike the Capri or Mustang, we couldn’t give a damn about the Explorer’s heritage so won’t be taking to social media to vent our anger … Read the rest
What is it and How much?
The BYD Seal is a sporty-looking saloon from Chinese manufacturer Build Your Dreams. It is their range-topper and goes up against the likes of the Tesla Model 3, the BMW i4, Hyundai Ionic 6 and the Polestar 2.
There are just 2 models available – the ‘Design’ and the ‘Excellence’. The BYD Seal Design … Read the rest
