2024 Kia EV6 GT – Road Test

Kia have been constantly at the forefront of the EV revolution for several years now (along with its sister company Hyundai). The EV6 was initially announced in March 2021 as a 2022 model and shared the architecture with the Hyundai IONIQ5, but with completely different spec/options. I’ve lusted after this car since I set eyes on it… but would it, could it live up to my expectations? Let’s find out…

2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge (Incl. 2024 updates) – Road Test

Last year we drove the amazing Volvo V90 station wagon and loved it so – much it’s one of our favourite cars, albeit a station wagon! This time out we get the opportunity to drive an all-electric small SUV from Volvo. The V60 had a couple of un-Volvo quirks – what will this electric one throw up? Well some things are typical Volvo, but there’s a couple of things that we weren’t expecting…

2023 Nissan ARIYA EVOLVE+ – Road Test

The completely new 2023 Nissan ARIYA has been advertised for more than a year, so it’s very familiar and ever since we set our eyes on it we’ve been anticipating the opportunity to spend a week driving one. As an EV and an SUV – it’s Nissan first stab in this marketplace. The Leaf has been around for more than a decade, so Nissan know what they’re doing with regards to car EV’s – but how will their venture into the eSUV segment fair? Note: Lots of pictures and loads of details in this review

2023 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport Plus – Road Test

When Genesis announced the GV70 SUV I rolled my eyes… not another manufacturer joining the sporty SUV craze! Then when I saw it the first thing I thought was… this is a sporty SUV. OK, it appears they know something I don’t. It’s a good thing I don’t work for a manufacturer in the design department. The question is… is it REALLY a sports-car on stilts or just a pretender? The short answer – oh yeah – it is.

2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum AWD – Road Test

Nissan are on a roll at the moment. They’ve turned an entire range of ugly-duckling vehicles into some of the most attractive ones on the road today. Just look at the nose on any SUV of any size/manufacturer on the road and it’s just a mass of chrome or ugliness that can’t really be described. The best part of owning one is that you can’t see the front end from the driver’s seat! The 2023 Nissan Rogue doesn’t fall into that category – it’s actually a good-looking SUV with a nicely proportioned face. It’s not only a looker, but it has a great personality too!
