Polestar 4 Coupé Review

There is a lot I really like about the Polestar 4. The quality is exceptional, the driving position is superb, the chassis actually encourages you to find an interesting road and the interior feels every bit as premium as the price suggests. After several days with the rear-wheel-drive version, including around 200 miles in a single trip, it is the sort of EV I could very easily live with. It is not perfect. Some of the driver-assistance technology became irritating, the touchscreen still controls too much and I never completely warmed to the digital rear-view mirror. But those frustrations are surrounded by so much good stuff that the Polestar 4 has become one of my favourite cars in this part of the market.

Geely EX2 Review: Exceptional Value Without Feeling Cheap

The Geely EX2 is one of the strongest-value small electric cars I have driven. It combines genuinely impressive passenger and luggage space, a comfortable ride, loads of equipment, clever technology and an eight-year warranty with a starting price of £20,990. Performance is leisurely and the maximum 214-mile range won't suit everybody, but for everyday driving the EX2 feels considerably more accomplished than its price suggests.

MG Cyberster Review: More Electric Grand Tourer Than Modern MGB

The MG Cyberster is no longer the new attraction in the showroom, but its dramatic looks, scissor doors and startling performance still make it one of the most distinctive electric cars on sale.

Kia PV5 Cargo Review: The Modular Electric Van That Actually Makes Sense

The Kia PV5 Cargo is a breath of fresh air in the commercial sector. By ditching the 'box-on-wheels' blueprint and embracing a modular, software-first approach, Kia has created a tool that is as smart as it is functional. It is a genuine threat to the established European van hierarchy.
