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 […]

Kia’s Sportage is a big deal. It accounts for 29% of the brands UK sales, so when the fourth generation was launched they wanted to make a big deal of it. Queue the ‘First Edition’. Coming in at a whopping £31,650 it has EVERYTHING slapped on it. Powered by a 2.0 litre diesel engine making […]

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 […]
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. […]
The market has been without the Honda HR-V for around ten years now, with the original model making it’s debut in 1999. It was a Land Rover Freelander esq SUV body style with a more casual road oriented demeanour that is evident in the swarm of crossovers that have permeated the market since. Honda could […]

The B SUV is a relatively young breed that owes much to the larger Freelander sized soft roaders, and the generic B and C segment hatchbacks that have permeated the market for some time. For it’s youth, the B SUV has been a veritable explosive success with the likes of the Nissan Juke, Vauxhall Mokka […]
