Every now and then there’s one car that ultimately saves a brand, in Volvo’s case the last generation XC60 can probably be heralded as that. It brought Volvo back to the masses and continued to sell amazingly well right up until it was culled earlier on this year. So the all new XC60 has big […]
Mazda’s first attempt at a crossover hit the tarmac in 2012, 5 years later and it’s time for a replacement. With Mazda going from strength to strength over the last few years we headed to a rather wet Scotland to find out how it fairs against the current crop. Looks When we first saw […]

Toyota’s RAV4 has long been a staple part of their market makeup in the UK. With the latest generation seeing the hybrid treatment along with the rest of Toyota’s line-up, how does their faithful SUV fair. Our RAV was fitted with the 2.5 litre hybrid petrol engine. Meaning it’s four-wheel drive…not 4×4, you would need […]
Farmers love a D-Max. Arguably they’re the backbone of the agricultural industry in the UK. Affordable, rugged, they just get the job done. The last generation launched in 2012, and there are some pretty big changes under the skin for the 2017 Isuzu D-Max. First up the 2.5 litre engine is gone, replaced with a […]

Suzuki’s little IGNIS is back! This time it’s in the form of a compact crossover…basically it’s an A segment hatchback that looks a bit beefier. There’s no pricing as of yet, but expect it to be around the £9,999 mark. We will update you when pricing is revealed in about a week’s time. Update: We were […]
Suzuki released the Vitara S toward the end of last year. But we only really had some track time with it…which was impressive to watch a Vitara barrel around a race track, but it didn’t really give us a real world feel for it. So we asked for one for a week. Our Vitara S […]

We first drove the Peugeot 2008 in January of 2014. It didn’t particularly stand out and we weren’t that enamoured with its bland looks. Fast forward to 2016 and the plucky 2008 has been given a facelift, couple that with a 1.2 turbo engine and the whole car is changed. In Allure guise the 1.2 […]

Kia’s Sportage is a big deal. It accounts for 29% of the brands UK sales, so when the fourth generation was launched they wanted to make a big deal of it. Queue the ‘First Edition’. Coming in at a whopping £31,650 it has EVERYTHING slapped on it. Powered by a 2.0 litre diesel engine making […]

As most of you probably know Land Rover have been part of Jaguar for a fair old time now. Together JLR have gone from strength to strength, especially when it comes to big beefy 4×4 sales. So it seems strange that Jaguar are launching their first SUV, after all they have the market pretty tied […]
Jeep have had a bit of a tough time of late, but the new Renegade aims the marque at a younger market. Competitively priced and already taking a slew of awards – including best 4×4 of 2016 we took one for a spin. Looks The Renegade will be a marmite car. Some will love […]
Believe it or not Nissan actually have 80 years of experience in the pick up sector and sold over 14 million worldwide. But this new Navara NP-300 takes on some more soft roader, crossover cues than the outgoing model. We jumped in one and took to the Yorkshire moors. Starting at £18,376 the NP300 (it’s […]
When we saw the XC90 in the flesh at Geneva last year we just thought – wow. Such modern looks combined with a big, beefy road presence. 12 months later and we are sitting behind the wheel. Starting from £46,250 the XC90 is pitched lower than a Range Rover Sport but pretty much in line […]
