The new A4 couldn’t have come along at a better time for Audi. Never has the competition been greater in the so-called compact executive sector. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been making hay, while the BMW 3-Series has been refreshed and that plucky Brit, the Jaguar XE, has just been launched. …

Looking for a competitively priced, big, luxurious SUV with excellent off-road capability? Consider the latest Jeep Grand Cherokee… It may not be the obvious choice in the UK, but remember, Jeep started it all with 2016 marking the company’s 75th anniversary. The Grand Cherokee isn’t just a handsome beast, it’s …

Rarely has a car lived up to its name as much as the new Skoda Superb. The slightly awkward, dumpy look of the last version has been replaced by a sleek, chiselled design capped by Skoda’s signature LED running lights. Longer, lighter, higher and wider, it’s also safer, roomier, more …

If ever there was a car that will become a future classic, it’s the Volvo V60 Polestar. The standard V60 is good in itself, but once Polestar – a Swedish tuning company now 100% owned by Volvo – got their hands on it… it became a car transformed. And it’s …

The luxury big SUV sector just got a whole lot more competitive – Audi’s back in the game with the all-new Q7. To be honest, I was always a big fan of the first generation Q7, so I wasn’t totally sure about the new model. And let’s not forget, the …

Replacing a successful model is no easy task, so the fact that the all-new Jaguar XF is so good is worth shouting about. Launched in 2007, the original XF was a landmark car for Jaguar, and marked the renaissance of the company after some tricky times. Some 250,000 were sold …

The SEAT Leon X-Perience joins the growing band of rugged, raised estates with off-road ability and greater pulling power. If you’re looking for a grippy 4×4, but don’t want a big SUV, there’s more choice than ever. Now SEAT’s joining the party with a tougher version of its Leon ST …

People carriers may not be as sexy as SUVs these days, but they still can’t be beaten when you need to transport multiple passengers. Ford recently invited us to sample its Multi-Activity Vehicle (MAV) range, so we had a quick spin in an S-Max, B-Max, Grand C-Max and Galaxy. The …
