What is it and How much? The latest Kia Sorento is a practical, stylish, and tech-packed family SUV that can handle the school run, a weekend trip to the Lake District, some semi-serious off-roading and virtually everything else in between.

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 […]
