Kia EV5 Full Review

Kia’s EV5 aims to replace the family SUV with electric practicality, strong range and serious tech — but as I discovered, it’s not always keen to show off its clever features when you need it to

The EV5 is Kia taking its best-selling formula – the Sportage – and rethinking it for the electric era, not just swapping out the engine for a battery, but genuinely reworking the whole idea of what a family SUV should be when you start with a clean sheet, and if they’ve got this right then this could end up being one of the most important EVs on sale right now, because it slots along the combustion-engined powered Sportage as the electric equivalent. And the Sportage is a best-seller for Kia.

Fuel Prices Are Rising – These 10 Cars Could Save You £800 a Year

Fuel prices are climbing again and shortage fears are back in the headlines – but instead of panic, here’s a practical guide to the cars that could actually save you serious money right now

Fuel prices are on the move again – and not in the direction anyone wants. With global tensions flaring and supply chains under pressure, motorists across the UK are once again being warned about rising pump prices and even the possibility of shortages. Whether that happens or not is still up for debate, but one thing is absolutely certain: driving is getting more expensive again. The increase doesn’t look dramatic at first glance. We’re talking about just 3 to 4 pence per mile more than before. Doesn’t sound like much, does it? But over a year, it adds up alarmingly quickly.

The Truth About Driving an EV Long Distance (No One Tells You This)

300 miles, multiple charges, and one very real reality check – oh, and make sure you’ve got extra cash in the bank!

So, I recently did what many EV evangelists will tell you is absolutely fine, totally normal, and nothing to worry about… I drove an electric vehicle from London to Bristol and back. Now before anyone sharpens their pitchforks or plugs in their keyboards to type an angry comment, let me say this upfront: this is not an anti-EV rant.

I like EVs. I really do. Around town, they’re brilliant – smooth, quiet, effortless, and occasionally smug. But take them out of their natural habitat and onto the open motorway, and suddenly things get… interesting. Let me walk you through what actually happens.

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.

REVIEW: MG Cyberster GT

The 496bhp Electric Roadster That’ll Make You Believe in MG Roadsters Again!

It’s been a long time coming, but I finally got my hands on the all-new MG Cyberster GT – and yes, it was worth the wait. I missed the launch, missed the press events, nearly missed this drive too, thanks to a temporarily closed track at Millbrook. But I’m stubborn (or mildly obsessive), and I wasn’t going to leave until I got my go behind the wheel of what is arguably the most important sports car of recent times!

Hyundai Inster Review

Small EV, Big Personality

Sometimes a car doesn’t need to scream to make a statement. It just needs to show up with a cheeky grin, a bit of charm, and enough clever thinking to stand out in a sea of lookalike electric boxes.
