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.

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.

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 […]
