Car Indicators
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 says, “I’ll let the Germans make […]
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. The Xpeng G6 is the latest to make that pitch, a Chinese-built EV that wants to stand toe-to-toe with Tesla’s Model Y and […]
EVERY EV these days claims to be the perfect family SUV, but very few actually get close. The Skoda Elroq Edition 85, though, feels like one of those rare cars that lands bang on the sweet spot — big enough for real-life duties, efficient enough for long trips, and sensible enough not to make your bank account flinch. It’s essentially an Enyaq that’s dropped […]
COMMUTING, school runs, shopping trips, and the occasional motorway dash — for most of us, that’s the real-world test of a car. And it’s exactly what the Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid has been built for. While everyone else shouts about either fully electric futures or big engines from the past, Kia offers something in between: […]
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 […]
In the ever-growing universe of electric vehicles, the Kia EV6 continues to shine brightly. First launched in 2021 and now comprehensively updated for 2025, this new iteration of the EV6 is more than just a facelift, having a bigger battery capacity which provides up to 361 miles and some nifty tech updates that keep it […]
HAVE you ever had an idea so radical that people failed to grasp its reasoning and therefore dismissed it out of hand? And, after trying – unsuccessfully – to explain your brilliant idea you gave in and agreed to a compromise instead? Well, you’ll know how the designers and engineers of the Mazda MX-30 feel, […]
ON first spotting a Hyundai IONIQ 6 in the wild, I thought it looked rather classy with that exaggerated curve stretching from one end to the other. Hyundai refers to it as “Streamliner typology” and it’s a word that fits well. It was designed from the outset to be a distance cruiser – so hence […]
POLESTAR is the car company you may not be too familiar with at the moment, but if you’re a fan of electric vehicles (EVs) then it’s one you really should get to know. Once the “black-ops” department for Volvo, Polestar sexed-up and beefed-up the Swedish brand for a number of years before finally becoming a marque-unto-itself – although still owned by Volvo […]
I was recently invited by Mazda to the beautiful Broughton Hall in the Yorkshire Dales to check-out their first all-electric vehicle, the MX-30. The weather wasn’t kind with torrential rain throughout the day but that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the Mazda team who were excited to share with us the delights of Mazda’s first […]
