Pick-ups are big business; they make incredible workhorses but also offer family practicality, effectively killing two birds with one stone. Few, however, offer a premium experience, there’s the Mercedes X-Class and then this, the Volkswagen Amarok. Starting from £32,739 the V6 only Volkswagen Amarok can be specced in the utilitarian Trendline model, mid-range Highline or […]

Rarely in the world of crossovers does the word ‘Sporty’ come to mind. As much as all the marketing material will have you believe seldom can it be that such a car possesses any sort of sporting ability, until now. Alfa’s Stelvio came out last year, and yes there’s a fire breathing Ferrari engined V6 […]

When this ‘all-new’ 2019 Range Rover Evoque was first revealed, many, especially in auto-journo circles scoffed and laughed. Gerry must have been having an off day, the new baby Rangie is so similar to the old one most streetwalkers could pass it by and not even realise. But there’s more below that familiar skin which […]

Did you know that CR-V stands for ‘Comfortable Runabout Vehicle’? Now you do. Believe it or not, the Honda CR-V is now in its fifth generation, and the U.S have had it since 2017, but better late than never it’s finally hitting UK roads. Priced from £25,995 in entry-level ‘S’ trim prices rise all the […]

As SUV’s and crossovers continue to dominate the space on our roads Ford are hoping to corner a new niche in the market, the car based SUV. Last year they launched their new ‘Active’ range, a trim level that gives buyers some soft-roading ability without the need for a large, gas guzzling SUV or a […]
It’s rare that such a small car commands such a commotion, but ever since the leaked images made their way from Japan earlier this year the automotive community has been frothing at the prospect of getting their hands on the 2018 Suzuki Jimny. In fact it’s safe to say the Jimny has been the most […]

Now it’s not often manufacturers let you loose on a suitably extreme off-road course, they’re always a little worried journalists will push too far and get stuck, ultimately showing up the shortfalls in their product. But last month VW took us to the depths of Germany, and after a trip to the slightly strange Autostadt […]
Volvo are having a massive resurgence of late; the XC60 is a gorgeous machine and a worthy successor to the original. When we attended the launch the fabled T8 Twin Engine hybrid was on the cards for later in the year, well we finally got our hands on one to see what it’s like. Now […]
When it comes to cars on a budget there simply isn’t enough of them in the marketplace these days. £10k will get you an entry-level hatchback in most cases, but if you care to take a look at Renault’s sister brand Dacia, you’ll be surprised at how far your budget will stretch. In that regard, […]
A mainstay of the SUV market Mitsubishi’s Shogun has sadly come to the end of its life, production of the current model is winding down and the car to take its place (for the time being at least) is the Shogun Sport. This isn’t a new car in the general sense of the term, it’s […]

After driving the diddy Ignis on its launch in Italy. we always had a niggling feeling that it had more Jimny in it than it let on. So we asked for a loan of an Ignis AllGrip, to really see what this little car could do. Powered by a plucky 1.2 litre DualJet […]

SUV, it stands for Sports Utility Vehicle. That lead word, ‘Sports’ has become somewhat lost along the way. Most recent SUV’s are just huge great off-roaders with little to no actual performance apart from some average straight-line speed. Maserati has changed that. When they announced the Levante everyone thought the company was jumping on the […]
