Tested: Skoda Elroq
It’s very difficult to poke holes in Skoda these days. It probably always has been but in an age of overcomplicating-absolutely-everything-for-no-apparent-reason, it’s even more impressive to still be so good at what you do. The latest example of this is…
Tested: Skoda Enyaq
I can see why there has been talk about Skoda making two EV models close enough to each other in dimensions, spec and price that they risk both of them trawling much the same ground for buyers when they might…

Tested: New Suzuki Vitara
The old Suzuki Vitara model had a great name in its time. Claimed by many to be the first of the compact crossovers on the market, it attracted and kept a loyal coterie of drivers for many a day. The…
Tested: BYD Sealion 7
Just like an unbeaten football side that chalks up victory after victory, you keep waiting for something that will knock the Chinese electric carmakers off their surging runs up the sales charts. But so far, they (well most of them)…
