Both get the odd-looking, but somehow appealing plasticky front wings. However, “Solterra” is much […]

But the Japanese manufacturer have never been one for letting the grass grow beneath its wheels – and with the likes of the SEAT Arona, Kia Stonic and […]
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.
