HERE’s a refreshing change from a world filled with electric crossover SUVs – it’s one that actually looks like a good old fashioned hatchback.
Kia’s first electric hatchback is also their first fully electric vehicle to be built in Europe.
And it’s hugely impressive. If I had to rate it then it would be up there as probably the very best EV driven in the past few months. Continue reading
ITS big squared off presence might make you think the design team left early on a Friday afternoon and didn’t round it off.
But it’s a Kia feature – take a look at the EV9 and there’s a distinct similarity. Eye catching it certainly is with its distinctive lighting up front. Continue reading
Nissan Qashqai n
NO disrespect intended, but when Nissan’s new SUV was first launched back in 2007, many wondered whether naming a car after a desert dwelling nomadic tribe from South West Iran would guarantee sales in Europe?
Nissan obviously thought and hoped so, because that’s where the name for their then-quirky looking Qashqai came from. Continue reading
IF you’re hunting for a premium electric SUV are you likely to make a Korea choice?
Genesis is a luxury offshoot of Hyundai, (in the same way Lexus is to Toyota) and models have been on sale in the US and South Korea for a wee while, so it’s not their first attempt at making luxury cars. Continue reading
IT’S hard to write something detrimental about a car that’s been successfully improved over the years – really hard.
Not that it was anything you’d turn your nose up at in the first instance. From day one, Kia’s Sportage has been one of those ‘go to’ cars for anyone seeking a relatively spacious mode of family transport.
WHO says you can’t mix business with pleasure? It’s certainly not a problem for the well-heeled when it comes to moving from one important meeting to another.
And those in need of a spell of relaxation between appointments certainly get it in the Lexus LM, back on sale in the UK by popular demand.
Farmers, tradespeople, those who like their leisure vehicle to be rough and tough – Isuzu have the bases covered.
D-Max launched back in 2012 and from this year (2025), Isuzu simplified its D-Max range for prospective buyers, offering Business users the Utility model, and multi purpose buyers the DL20, DL40 and V-Cross models. Continue reading
You’ll be glad to know there’s another new electric car on the market – and even happier to be told it’s from a manufacturer you might have actually heard of….
The all new Suzuki e Vitara is a first for the Japanese firm, and the model it’s named after will be familiar to many who have bought it in the past. In fact the Vitara name has been successfully sold around the world for the past 37 years. Continue reading
IF you’re chucking your cap in the ring to join in the fight for electric car sales, it’s a good idea to have something that’s going to stand out in a crowd of sheep.
Something that’s a definite deviation from the norm, something that makes people stop and look, and something that is a refreshing change. Continue reading
BACK in the day, CUPRA was just a trim level on a SEAT, offering the promise of a little more prestige than the standard offering.
I fell for it – I had a SEAT Leon CUPRA because it was a more affordable option than a Golf GTI, and just as good. Continue reading
