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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hyundai Santa Fe first look: is this the most useful seven-seat family SUV of 2024?
The fifth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe is one of the most convincing seven-seat family SUVs because the boxy shape is not just styling; it creates real passenger and luggage usefulness. The entry hybrid is the sensible starting point, although the £46,775 launch price means it now competes with genuinely premium-feeling alternatives.
Ford Capri first look: does the electric SUV deserve the famous name?
The electric Ford Capri makes more sense once you stop expecting it to recreate a 1970s coupe. As a 390-mile, 286PS family EV with a 572-litre boot it is genuinely capable, although the Explorer underneath offers a similar formula for less money and the famous badge inevitably raises the emotional bar.
MG HS Plug-in Hybrid first look: is 75 electric miles enough to make it the smart family SUV?
The second-generation MG HS PHEV is one of the easiest plug-in hybrids to justify because its 75-mile official electric range is long enough to cover many daily routines without petrol, while the engine remains available for longer trips. It only makes sense, however, if you will actually plug it in.
MINI Aceman first look: is the SE the electric MINI to buy?
The MINI Aceman works best as a characterful compact EV rather than a shrunken family SUV. I would choose the 54.2kWh SE for its 252-mile range; the smaller-battery E only makes sense if your journeys are reliably short and the saving is worthwhile.
Audi Q6 e-tron first look: is this Audi's most convincing electric SUV yet?
The Audi Q6 e-tron looks like the point where Audi's electric SUVs became genuinely competitive on battery technology as well as cabin quality. Its 270kW charging, useful range and family space are convincing, although the launch quattro's £68,975 price makes specification discipline important.
Peugeot E-3008 first look: is style enough to beat the best family EVs?
The Peugeot E-3008 makes its strongest case through design, cabin quality and a useful 326-mile official range. I would shortlist it for the interior alone, but at launch money it needs to be compared carefully with roomier and faster-charging family EVs.
Citroën ë-C3 first look: is this the affordable EV Britain has been waiting for?
The Citroën ë-C3 makes electric motoring easier to justify because it focuses on price, comfort and simple everyday usefulness. Its 199-mile WLTP range is not designed for relentless motorway work, but at £21,990 at launch it addressed the things that matter to far more small-car buyers.
MG3 Hybrid+ first look: is this the best-value hybrid supermini?
The MG3 Hybrid+ made a compelling case at launch because it combined an £18,495 starting price with 64mpg official economy and performance that was unusually lively for a small hybrid. I would put it near the top of a value-focused shortlist, provided the cabin and assistance systems suit you in daily use.
Renault Scenic E-Tech first look: is this the electric family SUV to beat?
The Renault Scenic E-Tech is one of the most convincing electric family cars of its launch period because it combines an 87kWh battery and up to 379 miles of official range with a useful 545-litre boot and sensible pricing. It is less about SUV theatre and more about making family EV ownership easy.
Ford Explorer EV first look: is 374 miles enough to make it a family favourite?
The Ford Explorer EV makes most sense in Extended Range rear-wheel-drive form because 374 miles of WLTP range gives it genuine family-car flexibility without making the body unnecessarily large. Its Volkswagen-group underpinnings are obvious in places, but Ford has created a more distinctive cabin and driving proposition around them.
Dacia Spring first look: is Britain’s cheapest EV actually good enough?
The Dacia Spring makes sense when it is judged as an inexpensive urban EV rather than a cut-price replacement for a long-range family car. At £14,995 at launch it removed a huge barrier to new-EV ownership, but its 140-mile range, four-seat cabin and modest rapid charging mean the use case needs to fit the car.
BYD ATTO 2 first look: is it good enough to justify a £30,850 price?
The BYD ATTO 2 is a neat, well-equipped compact SUV with useful space and a strong warranty, but the launch Boost's 214-mile range and 82kW charging make £30,850 harder to justify than the headline value of BYD's smaller models. I would compare it very carefully with longer-range rivals before ordering.
Hyundai INSTER first look: is this the small EV that makes the most sense?
The Hyundai INSTER is one of the cleverest affordable EVs because it stays genuinely small while offering up to 229 miles of range, a standard heat pump and a surprisingly flexible cabin. The four-seat layout is the main limitation, but for one or two people it makes a lot of sense.
Dacia Bigster first look: is this the family SUV bargain of 2025?
The Dacia Bigster's strongest argument is brutally simple: it gives families a 677-litre boot, lots of passenger space and useful equipment from under £25,000 at launch. It does not try to disguise where costs have been saved, and that honesty is a large part of its appeal.
Genesis GV60 review: is Pure the best version of the updated electric SUV?
Pure is the logical starting point for the updated GV60: the longest official range and the same battery capacity as the faster versions. The premium should be justified by comfort, equipment and ownership support.
DS N°8 review: is the long-range electric SUV worth a closer look?
The N°8's strongest argument is long-distance electric travel in a distinctive package. The front-wheel-drive Long Range version is the one to examine if range is the priority; do not assume AWD is the upgrade everyone needs.
MINI John Cooper Works Electric review: is the extra performance worth it?
The JCW Electric makes sense if you want the focused version of a small EV and enjoy what the chassis adds. Compare it with a regular Cooper Electric before paying for performance that may not improve your daily journeys.
Lexus RZ review: do the 2026 updates make it a better electric SUV?
The updated RZ is more relevant as an everyday premium EV because of its battery and charging improvements. Start with the range-focused 350e; the F Sport's extra performance and unusual controls are personal choices.
Smart #5 review: has the small-car brand built a sensible family EV?
The #5 should be judged as a family electric SUV, not as a bigger fortwo. Start with the versions that maximise useful range and equipment; the fastest model is not automatically the best family choice.
Suzuki e Vitara review: should you choose two-wheel drive or ALLGRIP-e?
The e Vitara is most interesting when its compact SUV format and optional four-wheel drive solve a real need. Choose the battery for your journeys, and only pay for ALLGRIP-e if you will use the extra traction.
Subaru Forester review: does it still make sense for rural family life?
The Forester has a clear role for buyers who regularly use its all-wheel-drive capability and practical body. Its fuel economy and modest acceleration make it a harder sell if your needs are mainly urban.
XPENG G6 review: does ultra-fast charging make it the better family EV?
The updated G6 deserves attention for its charging capability and useful family specification. Long Range is the logical version to compare for regular travel, but judge it on your charging routes, cabin controls and local support.
Ford Puma Gen-E review: is the updated electric Puma enough for family life?
The updated Puma Gen-E is a sensible shortlist choice if you want a compact EV with useful storage. Start with Select, check the exact model-year battery and choose a higher trim for equipment rather than extra range.
GWM Haval Jolion Pro review: does the low price make it a good family SUV?
The Jolion Pro deserves a place on a value-focused family shortlist. Its equipment and hybrid specification are appealing, but local support, everyday controls and the full ownership quotation matter as much as the entry price.
Citroën C5 Aircross Hybrid review: a family SUV with the right priorities?
The C5 Aircross Hybrid is a sensible starting point for families who prioritise comfort and space but cannot charge. Choose the powertrain around your routine, then compare trim equipment and the actual deal.
KGM Torres Hybrid first look: is space its strongest selling point?
The Torres Hybrid's strongest case is five-seat space without a charging requirement. It deserves a look for that role, but its rugged appearance should not be confused with the towing specification of a larger working SUV.
Abarth 600e review: is the electric hot hatch worth the compromise?
The 600e makes sense if a compact, characterful performance EV matters more than maximum range. Start with the Turismo, compare the actual equipment and try the seats before paying extra for the Competizione.
Alfa Romeo Junior Ibrida review: the right hybrid if you cannot charge?
The Junior Ibrida is the straightforward Junior for buyers who want compact dimensions and Alfa styling without charging. Its premium needs to be justified by the cabin and equipment you choose, rather than the badge alone.
Alpine A390 review: can one electric car do the family and fun jobs?
The A390 is an interesting shortlist choice for someone who wants a distinctive performance EV with five-seat usefulness. The GT is the logical starting point; pay for the GTS only if its extra performance and equipment serve a real purpose.
Aston Martin Vantage S review: are the changes worth choosing over a Vantage?
The Vantage S is most compelling for buyers who value the chassis revisions and distinctive specification. Its extra power is a weak reason on its own to replace a car you already enjoy.
Honda Super-N review: is it enough EV for everyday UK driving?
A promising small EV for local journeys if four seats, a compact boot and dependable charging fit your life. Its 128-mile combined WLTP range limits its appeal as a frequent long-distance car; a driving verdict remains to be established.
Mazda CX-5 review: is the 2026 SUV still a sensible family buy?
A practical family SUV worth shortlisting if you want petrol power without plugging in. Check the mild-hybrid engine under load and the new touchscreen controls before choosing; this is a researched assessment pending a road test.
Toyota RAV4 review: does the 2026 plug-in hybrid fit your life?
Worth shortlisting if regular charging lets you use its substantial official electric range. Reconsider the plug-in choice if you will rarely charge it. This is a researched UK assessment, with a road-test verdict still to come.
AION UT review: should you choose it over an established EV?
Worth shortlisting for space, equipment and the aftersales package. Check your local service arrangements and whether its charging performance fits your trips. A first-hand driving verdict is still required.
MG S9 Review
The MG S9 is the automotive equivalent of a 'buy one get one free' deal at a posh supermarket. It offers the space and tech of a £60,000 SUV for nearly half the price, and that 62-mile EV range is a masterstroke for company car drivers.
Changan Deepal S05 Review UK
The Deepal S05 is a high-tech, practical, and fast-charging electric SUV that offers a compelling alternative to the Tesla Model Y at a very competitive price point.
Cupra Raval Review: The Electric Supermini We’ve Been Waiting For?
The Cupra Raval is the first electric supermini that truly prioritises 'fun' without forgetting the 'supermarket run'. It’s stylish, surprisingly spacious, and far more characterful than its platform siblings.
Kia EV6 Review UK: Still One of the Best EVs? (Updated 2026)
The Kia EV6 remains one of the easiest electric cars to recommend if you want comfort, quick charging and a bit of style. It is more polished than before, even if a few practical niggles remain.
Škoda Epiq Review & UK Guide 2026: Price, Range and What We Know
The Skoda Epiq is exactly what the UK electric car market needs: a practical, well-built, and genuinely affordable family SUV that does not feel like a compromise.
Polestar 3 Performance Review
The Polestar 3 Performance is expensive, but it feels every bit the premium electric SUV it needs to be. It is beautifully built, exceptionally comfortable, seriously quick and, most impressively, genuinely enjoyable to drive despite its size and weight. The touchscreen-heavy controls and over-sensitive driver assistance systems can frustrate, but they do little to undermine what is otherwise a hugely accomplished luxury EV. After living with it for a couple of weeks, it is one of those rare cars I really did not want to give back.
Kia EV5 GT-Line S Review
The Kia EV5 GT-Line S AWD is not trying to be the most extreme electric SUV on sale. Instead, it combines comfort, space, useful technology, strong performance and genuine SUV character into an exceptionally convincing everyday package. For me, it is one of Kia’s best electric cars yet and potentially my favourite all-rounder of the year.
Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor Review
The Polestar 2 remains the thinking person's electric car, offering a brilliant blend of style, tech, and genuine driver engagement.
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.
Cupra Tavascan Review: The Electric SUV with a Spanish Soul
The Cupra Tavascan is a breath of fresh air in a crowded market, offering genuine kerb appeal and a sporty drive, even if the tech takes some getting used to.
MG S5 Review: The ZS EV's Grown-Up Successor
I drove the MG MGS5 EV Trophy Long Range before checking the price and came away genuinely impressed. Here’s why this understated electric SUV deserves more attention.
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.
Dacia Duster Review: The Budget Hero Finally Goes High-Tech
The Duster remains the smartest buy for the pragmatist. It has traded some of its 'cheapness' for genuine 'value', offering modern hybrid tech and rugged looks without the premium price tag.
Leapmotor B10 Review: The £30,000 EV That Actually Makes Sense
The Leapmotor B10 is the first Chinese EV that truly feels like a safe bet for UK buyers, thanks to its bargain pricing and the peace of mind that comes with Stellantis backing.
Vauxhall Mokka GSe Review: The Griffin Gets Its Grrr Back
The Mokka GSe is the first electric Vauxhall that prioritises 'fun' over 'functional'. It is fast, handles with genuine verve, and looks the part, even if it asks you to sacrifice a bit of range and practicality to join the club.
Lotus Emeya Review: The 905hp Shock to the System
The Emeya is a spectacular statement of intent. It is more of a luxury express than a lightweight corner-carver, but as a Porsche Taycan rival, it is a formidable, high-tech alternative.
Denza Z9GT Review
The Denza Z9GT looks smart, feels substantial and appears hugely impressive on paper. Seeing it in person made me appreciate the design more than I expected. The long shooting-brake profile is elegant, the rear styling gives it plenty of presence and the interior seems suitably luxurious. I also like that Denza has chosen something bold and different for its UK introduction instead of playing it safe with another anonymous SUV. There are still some significant questions. The £105,000 price is ambitious, the car is extremely heavy and early reports suggest its ride, software and finer details might not yet match the best established luxury cars. Flash Charging could be the feature that changes the conversation completely, but only once the supporting network becomes widely available. For now, the Z9GT is one of the most intriguing new cars coming to the UK. I like what I have seen, and the specification is difficult to ignore. What I really want now is the opportunity to get properly hands-on, live with the technology and find out whether it feels as impressive from behind the wheel as it does on paper.
Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider Review
The Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider successfully combines hypercar performance with the drama and enjoyment of an open-top Ferrari. It is not perfect. The touch-sensitive interior controls need improvement, practicality is limited and the cost will put it beyond the reach of almost everyone. However, its combination of speed, design, technology and character makes it a truly memorable car. On the right road, with the roof lowered and the V8 singing behind you, it delivers exactly the sort of experience people dream of when they think about Ferrari.
MG IM5 75 Performance Review: Porsche Taycan Presence at Tesla Model 3 Money
The MG IM5 100 Performance shows just how far MG has come. It combines Porsche Taycan-inspired styling, huge performance, a premium-feeling interior and genuinely impressive technology at a price closer to a Tesla Model 3. It is not the most efficient EV and still relies heavily on touchscreens, but it feels comfortable, capable and far more polished than MGs of the past. For under £50,000, it is an exciting and convincing performance EV.
BYD Seal Review: The Electric Saloon That Means Business
The BYD Seal is a remarkably polished debut in the executive EV sector, offering more luxury than a Tesla and more value than a BMW.
Fiat Grande Panda Electric Review
The Fiat Grande Panda is a masterclass in how to build an affordable EV without losing any personality. It is stylish, practical, and priced to actually make sense for the average UK family.
Jeep Compass Review: The Rugged Individualist Plugs In
The Jeep Compass 4xe is a characterful alternative to the sea of sensible SUVs, offering proper mud-plugging ability and tax-friendly hybrid power, even if it lacks the ultimate polish of a Tucson or Tiguan.
BYD Dolphin Surf Comfort Review
The BYD Dolphin Surf Comfort is a genuinely impressive small electric car for the money. It is spacious enough for four adults, has a useful boot, feels quick enough for everyday driving and comes loaded with equipment that would normally be reserved for much more expensive models. Around town it is quiet, nimble and incredibly easy to live with, while the 43.2kWh battery gives it enough real-world range to handle commuting and occasional longer journeys without feeling overly restrictive. It is not perfect. The ride can become unsettled on rougher roads, motorway refinement is only average and some of the driver assistance systems feel intrusive or poorly calibrated. The lack of proper one-pedal driving is also a missed opportunity. Even so, the Dolphin Surf succeeds because it feels like a proper, usable electric car rather than a budget compromise. The Renault 5 remains the more desirable and polished choice, but the BYD is one of the strongest value-for-money electric cars currently available.
Fiat 600e Review: The 500 Grows Up (And Plugs In)
The Fiat 600e is a stylish, comfortable, and characterful alternative to the sea of generic electric SUVs. It is not the most spacious, but for urban families, it hits a very sweet spot.
Omoda 9 Review UK
A high-tech, high-performance SUV that uses a very competitive 93-mile electric range to challenge the European elite.
Audi Q4 e-tron Review (2026)
The Q4 e-tron is at its best as a quiet, comfortable electric SUV. The cabin now looks more modern, but I still prefer proper buttons for everyday controls like climate.
Renault 4 E-Tech Review
The Renault 4 E-Tech adds a better view out, a more useful boot and a dose of practicality to the Renault 5 formula. It still feels characterful and easy to like.
Changan Deepal S07 Review
The Changan Deepal S07 is a comfortable, tech-packed electric SUV that makes a strong case for itself. It looks good, it feels premium inside, it is easy and relaxing to drive. But it is not a car for people who love driving. If you want feedback, engagement and involvement, you will probably find it a bit detached. If you want a calm, comfortable, well-equipped EV that feels like a mobile living room, this could be right up your street. It is a clear sign that brands like Changan are not just catching up, they are setting their own agenda.
Kia EV9 GT S Review
The Kia EV9 GT Line S is one of the most impressive electric SUVs I have driven. It has huge space, loads of tech and a calm, well designed cabin. It is not cheap and the charging speed on lower power chargers is slow, but the positives easily outweigh the downsides. This is a genuine alternative to the traditional premium brands and shows how far Kia has come.
Jaecoo 7 Review UK
The Jaecoo 7 Luxury 1.5 SHS is a car I really wanted to like. On paper, it has so much going for it. The price is competitive, the styling is strong, the cabin looks premium, the equipment list is huge, and the efficiency I saw was genuinely impressive. Getting around 48 miles of electric range in cold weather and averaging around 55mpg over mixed driving are both strong results. But after 600 miles, I didn’t come away loving it. The ride felt too bouncy at speed, the car didn’t feel planted enough in corners, the seats weren’t comfortable enough for long journeys, and the climate control and screen glitches became frustrating. Add in the fact that my passengers felt travel sick on faster roads, and it just didn’t suit the way I drive or use a car. That doesn’t make it a bad car. It makes it a car with a very specific appeal. If you want a stylish, well-equipped, efficient plug-in hybrid SUV and most of your driving is local or steady-paced, the Jaecoo 7 SHS could still be worth a look. But if you’re considering buying or leasing one, my advice would be simple: don’t rely on the spec sheet alone. Take it on a proper test drive. Get it up to motorway speeds. Try it on a few faster corners. Spend enough time in the seats. Take your passengers with you. Because the Jaecoo 7 SHS impressed me on efficiency and value, but it didn’t win me over as a car to live with every day.
Jeep Avenger 4xe The North Face Edition Review
The Jeep Avenger 4xe The North Face Edition is a small SUV that feels like a true Jeep. It combines compact size with proper off-road ability, stylish detailing and efficient hybrid running. It’s tough, distinctive and fun to drive. The interior may lack polish and the absence of auto-hold is frustrating, but the Avenger’s ability to climb, wade and handle rough terrain sets it apart from most crossovers on the road. A compact 4×4 that’s every bit as adventurous as it looks.
Hyundai Ioniq 3 Review: Retro-Future Charm or Just Another EV?
The Ioniq 3 is a design-led triumph that brings high-end charging tech and a boutique interior to the small car segment. It's not the softest-riding car in the world, but it's one of the most desirable.
Chery Tiggo 8 Review
The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro is a remarkable achievement, offering the luxury and tech of a £50,000 SUV for significantly less, making it a compelling choice for value-seeking families.
Geely Starray EM-i UK First Drive Review
A promising first drive of a credible plug-in hybrid SUV. The Starray EM-i feels spacious, composed and well put together, but I need more time with it before giving a final verdict on range and efficiency.
Geely EX5 UK Review
The Geely EX5 feels calm, comfortable and better equipped than many will expect. The audio system, ventilated seats and passenger day-bed feature help it feel genuinely premium in daily use.
Kia EV3 UK Review 2025 - The compact EV reference point
The Kia EV3 is the new gold standard for compact EVs, offering show-stopping looks, a premium interior, and a 372-mile range that leaves rivals in the dust.
Peugeot 208 and e-208 Review UK: still the stylish choice?
The Peugeot 208 and e-208 still feel special for a small car. I would not call the electric version perfect for regular long motorway work, but around town and on everyday journeys it is stylish, comfortable and genuinely likeable.
Renault 5 E-Tech
The Renault 5 E-Tech is one of those cars that makes everyday driving feel brighter. It is playful, easy to park, full of character and genuinely fun, as long as you understand the motorway range limits of the smaller battery.
Chery Tiggo 7 Summit PHEV - First look and impressions
The Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV is a solid, well-priced plug-in hybrid SUV that offers genuine electric range and a comfortable driving experience. Not exciting, but sensible and surprisingly capable.
BMW i3 Neue Klasse Review UK
The most significant BMW in decades. If the driving experience matches the staggering 560-mile range and clean design, it will redefine the executive saloon for the electric age.
Skoda Elroq Review: The EV That Makes Sense for Everyone
The Skoda Elroq is the most complete electric family SUV on the market today. It trades flashy gimmicks for honest value, superb comfort, and the kind of 'Simply Clever' thinking that makes daily life easier.
Audi A6 e-tron Review: The Aerodynamic Ace
A strong example in aerodynamic efficiency that delivers genuine 350-mile-plus real-world range and important charging speeds. It’s the new reference point for electric executive cruising, even if the touch-heavy interior is a bit of a faff.
Mercedes-Benz CLA Review: The Baby CLS Grows Up and Goes Electric
The new CLA is a strong example in efficiency and tech, offering a 'baby S-Class' experience that makes its rivals feel a decade old.
BMW iX3 Review 2025: The 'Neue Klasse' Revolution
The iX3 is no longer just an X3 with the engines ripped out. It's a clean-sheet masterpiece that sets a new high-water mark for electric SUVs, combining terrifyingly fast charging with a range that makes the trip to the South of France a doddle.
Volkswagen ID. Buzz 7-Seat Review UK
The 7-seat ID. Buzz is a triumph of packaging and personality. It fixes the software issues of its predecessor while adding the space and range that UK families truly need. It's expensive, but there’s nothing else quite like it on the road.
Porsche Macan Electric Review UK
The Macan Electric is a strong example in how to transition a legendary nameplate into the EV era without losing its core identity.
Volvo XC60 Review UK
The Volvo XC60 is the automotive equivalent of a weighted blanket - calming, high-quality, and increasingly relevant in a world of over-styled, aggressive SUVs. It prioritises your well-being over lap times.
Chery Tiggo 4 Review UK
A spec-sheet hero that brings high power and a long warranty to the sub-£20k segment. If the driving dynamics hold up on British tarmac, the MG ZS and Dacia Duster should be very nervous.
Jaecoo 8 Review UK
A tech-heavy, high-performance SUV that challenges the status quo with a very competitive electric range and a truly premium cabin.
Peugeot E-5008 Review UK
The E-5008 is one of the few electric SUVs that properly understands family practicality. It looks stylish, has seven seats and offers a seriously useful range claim.
Volvo EX30 Review: Small, Fast, and Cleverly Compromised
The Volvo EX30 is a stylish, punchy, and characterful little EV that brings premium Scandinavian cool to a lower price point. However, the minimalist interior logic might test your patience, and the rear seats are best left for the kids.
Nissan Leaf Review: The OG Electric Hero Grows Up
The Nissan Leaf has evolved from a quirky electric pioneer into a sophisticated, long-range crossover that offers everything a British family needs without the 'pioneer' compromises.
Volkswagen Tiguan Hybrid Review
The Tiguan remains the gold standard for the family SUV. It is practical, premium, and the new plug-in hybrid is a genuine game-changer for commuters.
Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo Review: The Best All-Rounder in the Range?
The Sport Turismo is the sweet spot of the Taycan range. It offers the sharp handling of the saloon with just enough extra room for a family weekend away, now backed by significantly better battery tech.
Fiat 500 Electric Review: The Chic Urban Commuter
The Fiat 500 Electric is arguably the most successful transition of a heritage icon into the electric age. It is stylish, surprisingly capable on the range front, and perfectly sized for the UK's congested urban centres.
Tesla Model 3 Performance Review
The Tesla Model 3 Performance takes everything I already love about the Model 3 and makes it feel more polished, more comfortable and more capable. The updated design looks sharper, the cabin feels better finished and the suspension gives the car a more refined, controlled feel without taking away the speed and responsiveness that make it so enjoyable to drive. As a previous-generation Model 3 driver, I still think the original is an excellent car and, touch wood, mine has been completely dependable even after several years. The new Performance model is not a total reinvention, but it is a meaningful step forward and remains one of the most impressive all-round performance cars you can buy.
