Geely EX5 Review UK

Is This the Best Value Electric SUV You Can Buy?

The Geely EX5 marks the official arrival of Geely Auto into the UK market, and while the badge might be unfamiliar to many British buyers, the company behind it most definitely isn’t. This is the same automotive giant that owns Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, Smart and Zeekr, so there’s serious engineering muscle behind this car. The EX5 is Geely’s opening move in one of the most competitive segments in the country right now: the mid-size electric family SUV. Think Kia EV6, Hyundai Kona Electric, BYD Atto 3 and MG4 Extended Range territory.

2026 Toyota Aygo X Hybrid Review – Has Toyota’s Smallest Crossover Grown Up?

Toyota’s smallest crossover gets a major upgrade with a new hybrid drivetrain, more tech and higher prices – but has the cheeky Aygo X grown up a little too much?

Some cars don’t change very often. Others quietly evolve until one day you realise they’ve become something quite different from what they started out as. That’s exactly what has happened to the Toyota Aygo X.

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?

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.

Mazda6e First Drive Review

Jinba Ittai Goes Electric (Properly This Time)

Mazda’s flirted with electrification before – remember the MX-30? Stylish, well-built, and charmingly unconventional, but with a range so short you’d start worrying halfway to the shops. Even Mazda later admitted it needed work, adding a rotary range-extender to make it more usable.

2025 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Review – The Pickup That Flexes Hard!

Is it fast? No. Is it Cheap? No. Does it make sense? No. Do I want one? Yes!

I get a truck and I’m a kid with a Tonka Toy again. Okay, I won’t bash it into the table leg or drop it from the kitchen counter, but I still want to drive it with a big grin on my face. So when Isuzu asks if I would like to review the 2025 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross, despite the fact that I reviewed this generation of the pickup twice just a few years ago… I found myself struggling to decline.

Full transparency, I didn’t so much want to review it, as I just wanted to rock around in it! And when it turned up, I wasn’t disappointed, because they sent their Instagram special. A D-Max that had driven into the accessories warehouse and come out wearing EVERYTHING! More on that in a bit.
