An affordable EV that travels 300 miles on a single charge has been the pipe dream for us in the media, and buyers for the last few years. Now it’s here. Hyundai announced they were releasing an electrified version of the KONA when the car launched, any further information than that was rather scarce, we […]

Love them or loathe them SUV’s and crossovers are big business, with the trend looking likely to continue more manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon. Jag did so a few years back with the F-Pace, but that left a gap in the smaller, crossover segment, cue the E-Pace. However, it’s not just a market segment […]

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, […]

What happens when you strip out any character or soul from a once interesting vehicle? The new 2018 Citroen C4 Cactus, that’s what. The C4 Cactus was introduced back in 2014, 4 years on and the C4 hatchback has been culled from production. Filling its place is the Cactus. Starting at £17,265 you’ll want to […]

When you think of the words Mitsubishi and Eclipse, you’ll probably think of a gorgeously curvy two door coupe form the 90’s – that we never got in the UK. Now the name is followed by the word ‘Cross’…which means it’s a crossover. Starting at £21,275 I tested a ‘4’ petrol manual, which would set […]
Nissan were the crossover pioneers, creating the segment from thin air way back in 2006. 2014 saw the second incarnation of the Qashqai and just three years later a bold facelift has helped keep it up to date. To see what those updates were like, we took a dCi 110 in range topping Tekna trim […]
Oh, another crossover? Yay. SEAT’s new Arona is a B Segment crossover, like the Nissan Juke, the Citroen C3 Aircross, Kia Stonic, Hyundai Kona, VW T-Roc, Audi Q2, Mazda CX-3, Toyota C-HR, Peugeot 2008…you get the picture. Starting at £16,555 our test car was in ‘SE Technology’ trim – read that as ‘Basic’ but with […]

Another week passes, another crossover is launched. This time it’s the turn of Skoda, a brand that have been somewhat late to the game. Especially when you consider the market first started to gain traction in around 2009, has the waiting game paid off? We took a Karoq 4×4 through the depths of Lincolnshire to […]

Three small, ‘B Segment’ SUV’s launched in one week this month. One of them was this, the all new Citroen C3 Aircross. It aims to take over where the old, rather dated C3 Picasso left off. MPV’s are strictly out, SUV’s and crossovers are in. The market dictates what cars end up on our roads […]

It seems the onslaught of crossovers continues. Hyundai are the latest to join the fray, looking to distance themselves from their sister brands ‘Stonic’ and carve out their own niche in this ever crowding segment. Competitors include the all new Citroen C3 Aircross, the ageing Nissan Juke and the epically handling Mazda CX3. But how […]
