Every once in a while a manufacturer will push the design boundaries, a toe dip if you will into the unknown. It will either be lauded for its bold statement or left on showroom floors putting off buyers. Very few make such bold design choices, and they happen with invariable irregularity. Recently Lexus have come […]
Volvo’s XC60 has been around for a while now, 7 years in fact. It has had a facelift along the way, but with all new XC90 just hitting the streets how well does the current XC60 stack up amongst new competition. We took the 190 BHP D4 for a spin in the R-Design trim level. […]
Last time we drove an Evoque we purely tested it in an urban environment, this time we thought it would be a good idea to test its off road ability. We went for exactly the same engine as last time. The 2.2 litre SD4 with 187 BHP. But this time it is fitted with the […]

Let’s just start this review by making one thing clear, the GLA45 AMG is many things, great to look at, fast, immense fun, but, no matter how much Mercedes insists, it is not an SUV. This is crossover territory, with only the slightest bit of crossing, 40mm to be precise, so seriously, no offroading please. […]

In recent years the premium small SUV market has exploded, the Evoque started it all and since then Audi, VW, and BMW have all jumped on the bandwagon.

Suzuki are gunning for a new market segment, the crossover. Since the Qashqai created the class way back in 2007 it has exploded, with most of the major players fielding their own crossover vehicle. Suzuki have always been lacking in the family segment, they need the S-Cross to be a big seller. We attended the […]
Range Rover released the all new Vogue in September 2012 at the Paris Motor Show, but starting at £71k it’s rather pricey. However there is an answer, its sibling the Range Rover Sport starts at £51k, that’s quite a saving! We chose to review the 3.0 litre SDV6 engine, our Sport was in HSE spec […]
Mazda launched its crossover SUV in 2012, sometime after the rest of the market jumped on the bandwagon, with that in mind it should surely be the best in class? We tested the all-wheel drive 2.2 Diesel in Sport spec, with 175PS and just 119g/km of emissions. At £27,195 it’s rather pricey for the segment. […]
Since Honda launched the original CRV they have sold over 5 million, so the entirely new CRV best be up to par. We tested the 2.0 litre Petrol with an automatic gearbox, in top of the range EX trim level. The only extra was metallic paint at £500, bringing the total price to £30,900. With […]
Suzuki have been making the Vitara since the late 80’s, always being positioned as an affordable fully 4WD capable vehicle. We have tested the latest version, the Grand Vitara. With a 1.9 DDiS Diesel engine, pushing out 129 BHP and 300Nm of torque, the 1.6 ton 4×4 will get to 62 in 13.2 seconds. The […]
