SsangYong have been manufacturing vehicles for more than 60 years now but unlike other Korean manufacturer’s, such as Kia and Hyundai, it specialises in rugged SUV and off-road vehicles, with the Rexton being their flagship model. It’s an imposing beast too. This large SUV comes as a full 7-seater in EX and ELX trim, while the range-topping Ultimate is 5-seat […]
SLOTTING in between the Evoque and the Range Rover Sport the Velar is more striking than either and just as capable on and off-road. But is it worth the rather steep asking price? Review car: Range Rover Velar HSE R-Dynamic D240 2.0-litre diesel, 240bhp, 0-60mph in 6.8 secs, Max speed 135mph, Combined Fuel Consumption 48.7mpg, CO2 […]
THE Suzuki SX4 S-Cross is a smart-looking small SUV which improves on its predecessor by not only looking beefier than before but packing in some great tech alongside two Boosterjet petrol engines that are refined as well as frugal. Also, being a Suzuki you can pretty much guarantee that you’ll be getting a lot of car for your money – the downside being a […]
THE new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross sits between the smaller ASX and the all-conquering Outlander in the Japanese company’s SUV line-up and makes a lot of sense if you’re looking for a spacious family Crossover that is good on equipment but won’t break the bank. Available in 2WD or 4WD you have the choice of a 6-speed manual […]
SALES of pickup trucks are on the rise and when you consider that the likes of the Isuzu D-Max can now offer supreme practicality alongside family comfort, then you can begin to see why. The double-cab variants, in particular, have gained more creature-comforts over the years to make them a real alternative to a family SUV – explaining why we’re now seeing more pickups being used as every-day […]
IN a world now dominated by the SUV I must say that the Infiniti Q60S felt like a breath of fresh air when it arrived on my doorstep – a good looking, sleek coupe whose looks are, thankfully, matched by its performance. A replacement for the under-rated Infiniti G37 coupe, this V6-powered Q60S goes up against […]
Sixth generation of the BMW M5 introduced by BMW M GmbH. Most advanced version yet of the 4.4-litre V8 engine with TwinPower Turbo technology. Now equipped with innovative M xDrive drivetrain system offering superior driving dynamics and four-wheel-drive traction capability. New eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic for rapid gearchanges. On sale now with OTR […]
IF you like your mid-sized SUVs to feel sporty as well as spacious then you need to take a look at the new Mazda CX-5. Although similar in size to the previous model with no improvement in interior space, you’ll find that irrelevant as the earlier model was generously proportioned anyway and had most rivals […]
THE new Audi Q5, in true Audi fashion, doesn’t look a great deal different from the old Audi Q5 which I’m sure doesn’t worry the Audi accountants very much as the Q5 has always sold well for Audi. It is different though – for a start it’s lighter than the older version by around 90kg, […]
THE Kia Sorento is the South Korean company’s flagship offering and this 3rd generation SUV is bigger and bolder than what has gone before, now offering 7-seats as standard across the range and an interior to rival the more up-market brands. The exterior is much improved too – which, to be honest, isn’t that difficult […]
