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.

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.

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: 2025 Kia Sportage – Hybrid vs Petrol Manual, Which One’s Best?

Facelift, fresh tech, and a choice between petrol purity or hybrid punch – I drive both versions of Kia’s 2025 Sportage to find out which one’s the real deal

Sometimes, car manufacturers end up with a ‘safe bet’ seller. Occasionally by design, but usually by chance. You may think that’s a golden egg for any car maker, but it can also be a poisoned chalice. It becomes so invaluable that the company simply can’t afford to get it wrong.

For Kia, that car is the Sportage – its best-selling SUV, the top performer across Europe, and, rather astonishingly, its global bestseller too. So when the Koreans tweak the formula, it’s a big deal.

Polestar 3 Review – £85k Family SUV with a Bowers & Wilkins Concert Hall Inside

The Polestar 3 is the Swedish brand’s most complete car yet, blending luxury SUV practicality with Scandinavian minimal design

The Polestar 3 is the car that feels like the brand has been building towards since its rebirth. The Polestar 2 gave it a foothold in the EV world, while the Polestar 4 grabbed headlines with its blistering pace and its radical deletion of the rear window. But this is the responsible grown-up of the family.

Polestar 4 Comprehensive Review

The Fastest Polestar Ever! But No Rear Window

Before we get into all the details of the Polestar 4, let’s answer a question that might be preying on the mind of the uninitiated – what exactly is Polestar? Well, it used to be the performance and motor-racing arm of Volvo. After Chinese giant Geely took over Volvo, Polestar was separated into a standalone brand in 2017 to focus on producing only electric cars.
