2026 Xpeng G6 AWD Performance Review: 480bhp, 20,000 Updates and a Serious EV Player?

The updated 2026 Xpeng G6 arrives in the UK with over 20,000 engineering refinements, a new AWD Performance model and claims of improved real-world range and usability

This is the ‘second generation’ XPENG G6. So why does it feel like the G6 has only just arrived in the UK? Well… because it has. The brand officially launched here in early 2025. The G6 was its spearhead product. And just as we were getting used to seeing them on British roads, XPENG turns around and says, “Here’s the new one.” Hey?

2026 MG4 EV XPower Review – 434bhp Electric Hot Hatch for £33,995

All-wheel drive, 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds and hot hatch money – the updated MG4 EV XPower might just be the biggest performance bargain in Britain

There was a time when 0-62mph in under four seconds was the preserve of Italian exotics, Porsche Turbo badges and something with at least eight cylinders and a bank manager on speed dial. Now, apparently, it is the domain of a five-door electric hatchback wearing an MG badge and priced from £33,995. To put that 3.8-second sprint into context, the next closest mainstream EV to get you there as quickly is something like a Volvo EX30 Twin Motor at 3.6 seconds – and that will cost you roughly £10,000 more.

MG4 EV Urban Review – Same Name, Completely Different Car

MG launches the MG4 EV Urban alongside the existing MG4 EV, but this is no mere trim level – it’s a bigger, cheaper, more practical front-wheel drive electric hatch with a very different mission

The MG4 EV has, in a remarkably short period of time, become one of the most significant electric cars in the UK market. It accounts for a substantial chunk of MG’s sales, has won multiple awards, and proved that an affordable rear-wheel drive electric hatchback with genuine driver appeal could exist outside of premium price brackets. And now, MG has done something curious. It has launched another car… also called MG4 EV.

Geely Starray EM-i UK Launch & First Drive Review

Big Tech, Big Range, Surprisingly Cheap

Geely has launched its second model into the UK market, and this time it is not electric. The Starray EM-i arrives as a plug-in hybrid SUV with up to 84 miles of electric range, 618 miles combined range, and prices starting from £29,990. I attended the UK launch, filmed the full presentation, and took it for a quick first drive. Here is everything you need to know.

MG Cyberster GT Review – Detailed Daily Driver Review

Why This Electric Roadster Matters More Than You Think

I first drove the MG Cyberster earlier last year on a brief test at Millbrook Proving Ground. Enough to intrigue, enough to raise eyebrows, but not enough to truly understand it. This time, MG handed me the keys for a week. Living with a car exposes its truths. Its cleverness. Its quirks. Its brilliance. And occasionally, its foibles.

Toyota C-HR PHEV GR Sport (223bhp) Review: Everything You Need to Know Before Buying

The Toyota C-HR has grown up, plugged in and gone premium – but does the range-topper still have the spark that made the original so memorable?

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Toyota C-HR. When the original arrived, it felt like a small act of rebellion from a brand better known for playing things safe. It was sharp, angular, unapologetically different, and crucially, it didn’t try to hide its personality. Better still, in its early years you could even buy one with a petrol engine and a manual gearbox, complete with rev-matching. A crossover that actually wanted to be driven. That alone made it stand out.

1986 Toyota AE86 Corolla GT Coupé Review

Does the legend of the ‘Hachi-Roku’ from the mid-80s live up to the reality of driving one in 2025? Here’s my full review of the Japanese icon!

Remember the 1980s? When the world ran on optimism, synth-pop and questionable fashion choices? I mean, I personally sported a pastel green blazer in crinkled material with roll-up sleeves and shoulder pads large enough to land Airwolf on. But you know what? Best decade ever in my not-so-humble opinion. Especially for music, movies and motors.

So imagine my delight when Toyota handed me the keys to something straight out of that era: their own 1986 Toyota Corolla GT Coupé, better known to you, me and every manga-obsessed drift fan on earth as the AE86 Hachi-Roku.

2026 MG S6 EV Review: The Big, Calm, Grown-Up MG EV

MG’s new S6 EV arrives as a grown-up, spacious and impressively refined electric SUV that could tempt many families away from the usual big-brand choices

The 2026 MG S6 EV arrives without theatrics, yet the moment you walk around it, sit in it and drive it, you realise MG has shifted up a gear. This is the brand’s new family-sized electric SUV, the one many households have been waiting for. It sits on the same modular platform as the MG S5 EV but stretches everything further. A 77 kWh battery, rear-wheel-drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive, up to 329 miles of official WLTP range, and prices sitting roughly between forty-one and forty-four thousand pounds. MG is not pretending this is “budget” anymore. It is aiming for the mainstream.

2026 Suzuki E Vitara Review – India’s First Global EV Lights Up the UK!

Suzuki’s first electric car isn’t from Japan – it’s from India! The E Vitara blends a Desi heart with Japanese engineering precision, and right now it’s one of the best EV bargains on sale in Britain

Japanese car companies have always been on the leading edge of engineering. Innovating, developing, breaking new ground – surging ahead of the crowd in surprising new ways. And Suzuki’s latest new car… doesn’t conform to any of that. Well, apart from the ‘surprising’ bit.

Because the new E Vitara isn’t truly Japanese at all. It’s more like a takeaway tikka delivered by a samurai. And given how much Brits love a good curry, Suzuki’s first fully electric car – designed and built by Maruti Suzuki in Gujarat, India – rolling off the boats onto our roads at barely believable prices, is surely going to go down a treat. You won’t even need the Alka-Seltzer for this one.
