Mazda often dares to be different, and the all-new MX-30 is a prime example. The Japanese company’s first all-electric model not only sports distinctive coupe-crossover styling, but dinky rear-opening back doors. Then there’s its range. At 124 miles, it’s very much in the city EV sector, competing against the likes …

Meet the incredibly cute Citroen Ami – not so much an electric car as a zero-emissions city mobility solution. If the name rings a bell, then it should, because it was last used for a divisive-looking family car produced by the French giant between 1961 to 1978. Look hard and …

The all-new SEAT Leon may not be quite as high profile as its VW Group cousins, the Volkswagen Golf, Audi A3 and Skoda Octavia, but if you’re in the market for a new family hatchback, it’s definitely worth a test drive. Not only is it the best Leon yet, it’s …

The all-new A3 is an important model for Audi because it’s one of the premium manufacturer’s best-selling models in Europe. It’s also up against some strong rivals – especially the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Available as a hatchback (Sportback) or saloon, Audi says the fourth generation A3 (the …

We test Suzuki’s evergreen S-Cross SUV, which has been treated to a 48-volt mild-hybrid boost… Electrification is the current buzzword in the automotive industry. One day (maybe as soon as 2030 in the UK), all new cars will be fully electric. For now, petrols and diesels still make up the …

The Renault Megane Sport Tourer has always been one of the most handsome load-luggers on the market – now it’s even better. Estate cars have been out of favour for a while now – victims of the crossover craze. But that’s not to say they are toast, because there are …

We road test the all-new Volkswagen Golf – arguably the most significant launch of 2020 in terms of sales… After 45 years and more than 35 million examples built, the eighth generation VW Golf is the latest incarnation of a legend. Taking on the likes of the Ford Focus, Seat …

The standard Kia XCeed got a huge thumbs up from us when we reviewed it in 2019. A good-looking “urban crossover” version of the Ceed hatchback, it slots in below Kia’s big-selling Sportage. With its raised ride height and driving position, bigger wheels and more rugged look, its closest rival …

We test the new plug-in hybrid version of the award-winning Skoda Superb… Cards on table time – we’re huge fans of the Skoda Superb. No other car offers the same blend of value for money, space, clever design touches and dependability. Now, with the launch of the Czech brand’s first …

Despite the weather, the UK is one of the biggest markets for soft-tops, so there’s no better time than now to test the all-new Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet. The VW T-Roc Cabriolet is an example of one of those cars that shouldn’t really work – but does. Chopping the roof off …
