Capitalising on the Range Rover Sport’s success Land Rover decided its trusty Discovery needed the same makeover. Enter stage left, the Discovery Sport. Unlike the Range Sport, the Disco Sport bears no resemblance to its predecessor – the outgoing Discovery. It is a completely new design from a fresh family tree, and it could be argued […]
When you think of Suzuki as a car brand you wouldn’t normally associate them with racing or on track action. However, last year Suzuki supplied Radical with over a million pounds’ worth of motorcycle engines for their legendary track racers. In the same breath Suzuki have released their most potent Vitara model so far. The […]
Mitsubishi launched the ASX back in 2010, it was their first stab at the ever growing crossover market. It had a minor facelift in 2012 to beef up the front looks, but 5 years on how well does it stack up against the more modern competition? We took a 2.2 diesel 4wd for a spin […]

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. Porsche have spied this lucrative segment and launched the Macan. We tested the whole range but will focus on the Turbo model. It packs a 3.6 litre […]

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 […]
