Latest Reviews
Vauxhall Frontera Electric first look: is this the practical EV bargain families need?
The Vauxhall Frontera Electric is most convincing as a roomy, affordable family EV for local and regional use. At £23,495 at launch it offered a lot of physical car for the money, but the 186-mile range means regular long-distance drivers should look at later extended-range versions or a different EV.
CUPRA Terramar first look: is the 73-mile e-Hybrid the one to buy?
The CUPRA Terramar e-Hybrid is the version that gives the new SUV a clear reason to exist. A 25.8kWh battery, up to 73 miles of official electric range and 50kW DC charging make it far more usable as an electric car during the week than older PHEVs, while the petrol engine remains available for longer journeys.
Škoda Kodiaq first look: is the second generation still the sensible seven-seat SUV?
The second-generation Škoda Kodiaq remains one of the easiest large family SUVs to recommend because it uses its size exceptionally well. The 150PS mild-hybrid SE is the sensible starting point for seven-seat buyers, while the new PHEV only makes sense if five seats are enough and regular charging fits your life.
Tesla Model Y 2025 first look: did the update fix its biggest weaknesses?
The 2025 Tesla Model Y update targets exactly the areas that held the original car back: ride comfort, cabin noise and perceived quality. The Launch Edition was expensive at £59,990, but the underlying improvements make the Model Y a more rounded family EV rather than simply a brilliant electric powertrain wrapped in a compromised cabin.
Lexus LBX first look: is this the premium hybrid small SUV worth paying more for?
The Lexus LBX makes sense for somebody who wants a genuinely small premium car rather than a shrunken family SUV. Its 136hp hybrid is efficient, the cabin has a more mature feel than most compact crossovers and the £29,995 launch price was competitive, but rear space and boot capacity are the compromises.
MG ZS Hybrid+ first look: is this the family SUV bargain to beat?
The MG ZS Hybrid+ is difficult to ignore because it launched at £21,995 with 196PS, 55.4mpg official economy and enough family space to replace a conventional petrol crossover. It is not the most polished hybrid SUV, but the value equation is unusually strong.
