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 […]

SEAT have been very late to the market when it comes to the crossover segment. In fact, the closest they have ever got to a 4×4 was the jacked up Altea Freetrack…urgh. But, nearly 10 years after the market emerged with the Qashqai, SEAT finally join the club with the ATECA. Starting at £17,990 […]

The Good Funky, unique styling, matched with Peugeot’s awesome Grip Control function. The Bad Nothing! The Ugly That infotainment system. Peugeot have this neat little system called ‘Grip Control’, it’s a fake four-wheel drive system that just runs on the driven front wheels. It’s pretty trick, working with the traction control and ABS to brake individual […]

The Good Awesome interior and bold exterior. The Bad The 1.6 litre diesel is pretty noisey. The Ugly Punchier engines become pricey. Peugeot have left it very late to enter the crossover market. They say the new 3008 is a SUV or an C-SUV, but let’s face it, it’s a crossover, aimed squarely at the […]

The Good It looks as though it’s come from outer space. The Bad It’s the size of a Qashqai, but with the boot of a Golf. The Ugly There are only two engine choices. Neither are amazing. Toyota are a little late to the crossover phenomenon, but maybe that isn’t such a bad thing, as […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]

Nissan first launched the hot Juke Nismo in 2013, it was the first fully blown Nismo vehicle to come to market. We reviewed it and enjoyed it very much, but there was one gripe…it needed a limited slip diff. That original Juke Nismo was killed off toward the end of last year, a few months […]
Another day, another crossover. Today Renault has the floor with their new entry into the larger C segment crossover market with the new Kadjar. It’s the next chapter in what has been a very successful story for Renault. Since their new product assault began in 2012 with the Mk 4 Clio, Renault is set to […]
