Genesis Electrified GV70 Review – Quiet Confidence, Korean Style 

THERE’S posh, and then there’s the kind of quiet, confident luxury that can possibly slip under the radar. The Genesis Electrified GV70 belongs firmly in the latter camp. It doesn’t have a badge that screams status or a grille that looks like it’s trying to inhale pedestrians. Instead, it wafts onto the scene with the sort of serene self-assurance that says, “I’ll let the Germans make […]

2025 Kia Sorento 2.2 Review – Diesel Isn’t Dead yet . . .

IT’S hard not to admire Kia’s confidence these days. The brand’s line-up now stretches from small electric crossovers to the mighty EV9, but the Sorento sits right in that sweet spot where family practicality meets long-haul comfort. For 2025, it’s been given a significant refresh — sharper styling, smarter tech and a cabin that looks like it’s been nicked straight from the […]

XPeng G6 Review – Big Ambitions, Bumpy Execution 

EVERY so often a new car brand arrives claiming to have cracked the electric SUV formula. Sleek looks, superfast charging, loads of tech and a whisper-quiet cabin — the promise is always the same.  The Xpeng G6 is the latest to make that pitch, a Chinese-built EV that wants to stand toe-to-toe with Tesla’s Model Y and […]

Skoda Elroq Edition 85 Review – The Goldilocks EV?

EVERY EV these days claims to be the perfect family SUV, but very few actually get close. The Skoda Elroq Edition 85, though, feels like one of those rare cars that lands bang on the sweet spot — big enough for real-life duties, efficient enough for long trips, and sensible enough not to make your bank account flinch.  It’s essentially an Enyaq that’s dropped […]

Jaecoo 7 SHS Plug-in Hybrid Review – Brave New Brand or Pretender to the SUV Throne? 

EVERY so often a new car brand appears that makes you sit up and pay attention. Not because it’s been teased with a massive marketing budget or backed by a famous badge, but because it turns up quietly, fully formed, and surprisingly polished. The Jaecoo 7 SHS Plug-in Hybrid is one of those cars.  If you’ve never heard of Jaecoo before, don’t worry — most people haven’t. It’s a newcomer […]

Ford Mustang GT Review – The Last Roar of a Legend

YOU don’t whisper in a Mustang. You bellow, you burble, and occasionally, you wake up the neighbours. That’s part of the charm. The latest Ford Mustang GT Fastback, with its 5.0-litre V8 and 10-speed automatic gearbox, is as loud and proud as ever — and yet, for all its swagger, it now feels like a […]

Mini John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 Sport Review – Big Mini, Bigger Fun 

THE words “big” and “Mini” still look odd together, but one blast in the John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 Sport is enough to make the contradiction disappear in a haze of exhaust noise and grins. This is the biggest Mini yet — taller, wider, roomier — and yet somehow it hasn’t lost that mischievous, go-kart […]
