Genesis Electrified GV70 Review – Quiet confidence, Korean style 

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

2025 Kia Sorento 2.2 Review – Diesel Isn’t dead yet . . .

IT’S hard not to admire Kia’s confidence these days. The brand’s line-up now stretches from small electric crossovers to the mighty EV9, but the Sorento sits right in that sweet spot where family practicality meets long-haul comfort. For 2025, it’s been given a significant refresh — sharper styling, smarter tech and a cabin that looks like it’s been nicked straight Read the rest

XPeng G6 Review – Big ambitions, bumpy execution 

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.

Kia EV3 Review – The everyday electric SUV that hts the sweet spot 

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

e:Ny1 in their right mind would consider this Honda

I FIND it strange that Honda named their latest fully-electric vehicle the “e:Ny1”, yet openly admit it’s a mid-sized SUV aimed specifically at younger buyers. Perhaps they should’ve named it the Honda e:GenZ?  

I get what they’re aiming at though; Honda had, for a long time, been seen as the marque of the middle-class, middle-aged, Geography teacher – although with … Read the rest

Better a horseless carriage? The Ford Mustang Mach-E reviewed

THE Mustang Mach-E was Ford’s first foray into the fully-electric SUV market and I can’t help but wonder why they decided to give it the name “Mustang” – because it clearly isn’t a Mustang. 

The Mach-E Mustang is about as close to the V8 muscle-car as a Linda McCartney Veggie Burger is to a Wagyu Beef Burger. One is trying … Read the rest

Volkswagen Polo SEL 1.0 TSI DSG – Car Review

THE Volkswagen Polo has been around in the UK since 1975 and in that time we Brits have bought more than 1.4 million of them.

This may have been because the Polo has always been on the generous side of practical for a small car. German build-quality and reliability have played a part too but many Polos will have been … Read the rest
