Vauxhall is on a mission to totally reinvent its lineup. The new ’Vizor’ design language was revealed on the GT X Experimental concept car, and the fresh look rolled out to the Mokka, the new Astra, and the latest incarnations of the Crossland and Grandland.
It’s been a long time coming to the UK, but the 2023 Tesla Model Y is finally here. And what a great start it is off to, claiming fourth place in the February new car registration charts, and narrowly beating the Model 3 to the title of best-selling electric vehicle
The world needs more estates. Big, long boot spaces, low load lips, more aerodynamic and better to drive than an SUV… Yet, SUVs are far more in demand across the UK, Europe and beyond. So perhaps Citroën has the answer with the new C5 X; a sleek, quirky-looking car that the French company says combines “the elegance and status of a saloon, modernity and versatility of an SUV, and the dynamism and practicality of an estate.” We’re glad that’s all cleared up, then.
Not only is the X7 BMW’s largest SUV (for now), it can also carry the largest number of passengers, with space for seven in comfort. Eclipsing even the X5, which can also be ordered in seven-seat guise, The X7 boasts an additional 229mm of length, of which 130mm has been added into the wheelbase. Measuring over 5.1 metres long, it’s a bit of a beast and first went on sale in 2019, initially with a choice of 261bhp xDrive30d or mighty 394bhp M50d engines.
The DS 7 Crossback first made its debut back in 2017 and was the first purpose-built car to wear the DS Automobiles badge, rather than having previously featured a double chevron Citroën logo up front.

The once-beloved sports sedan has suffered a fall from grace over the years.SUVs rose to fashion and, since the demise of our local car industry, development of notable new examples has grown fewer and farther between.
Dear child inside, I have a new toy for you. A fullsize, lavishly appointed Euro black-tie ghetto blaster which can, to individual taste, be hush-quiet or V8-raucous.
As car makers strive for ever better efficiency, lower fuel economy figures and improved CO2 emissions, sometimes petrol cars that have been out for a while drop into the realms of EcoCar, with its CO2 emissions limit of 125g/km. One such car is the Skoda Scala 1.0 TSI, as tested here in sporty Monte Carlo trim and with the 109bhp 1.0-litre TSI engine.
With the launch of the second generation NX, not only is Lexus taking on the established diesel set with its latest selfcharging hybrid four-wheel drive SUV, but for the first time it’s embracing plugin hybrid technology and launching a more powerful 304bhp edition to compete with other premium PHEVs.
Every manufacturer will tell you that the latest car it's launching is its most important ever. While that’s probably not entirely true in this case, there is a sense that the Megane E-Tech represents a new start for Renault and one that it absolutely has to get right.
Vauxhall’s eighth-generation Astra is here – and it’s promising to be better than ever. The range has been simplified into three-well-equipped trim levels – Design, GSLine and Ultimate.
