KIA have recently brought their best-selling family SUV bang-up-to-date with a radical new look that makes the 5th-generation Sportage a bit of a stunner both inside and out.

SUZUKI is always a manufacturer you can rely on when it comes to value for money with no compromise on tech – especially if you’re after a reliable 4×4 that won’t break the bank.

Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin Pro – Review
AS I’ve mentioned in previous articles, welcoming a Volvo into my life has always been a moment of joy. Always stylish, always clever and always a calming, relaxed and stress-reducing driving experience.

THE BMW X5 xDrive45e Hybrid is a full-sized SUV that packs a 3.0-litre 6-cylinder petrol engine alongside BMW’s fourth-generation hybrid technology which provides a generous 24kWh electric battery. This means the new Beemer is capable of a very useful 54 miles on battery power alone – more than enough for the average commute of just […]

OUTWARDLY, the latest Suzuki Vitara hasn’t had to change a great deal from the previous one and that’s mostly because people like it very much, thank you.
