Thanks to qualifying for the £3,750 Electric Car Grant, the electric Fiat 500e starts at £17,245, less than the new Fiat 500 Hybrid. Fiat had planned to make the Fiat 500 an electric-only offering, but poor sales saw it make a major U-turn and launch the Fiat 500 Hybrid to boost sales. Having only just […]

Polestar 4 SUV SPIED looking more Estate than SUV [Video]
The new Polestar 4 SUV is caught on video ahead of a September debut, looking more like an electric estate than an SUV. The rise and rise of car buyers’ love affair with SUVs still shows little sign of abating, despite a good estate car being a far better bet for most, with much better […]

The Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 goes electric, boasting a tri-motor setup delivering up to 671bhp for 0-62mph in 3.0 seconds. When the Mercedes-AMG 45 burst onto the scene back in 2013, we marvelled at a four-pot delivering a whopping 355bhp, enough for 0-62mph at an almost supercar-quick 4.6 seconds. It didn’t take Mercedes long to roll […]

Land Rover Defender offerings are updated for 2026, with a new Defender Vertex model, cosmetic tweaks, and engine updates. It’s been almost seven years since Land Rover revealed the new Defender as a 21st century take on an iconic 194os original model, with naysayers saying it was too much another ‘Chelsea Tractor’ and predicting it […]
Polestar 4 becomes the Polestar 4 COUPE because there’s now a new Polestar SUV
The Polestar 4 becomes the Polestar 4 Coupe as Polestar announces a more conventional Polestar 4 SUV will arrive in September. When most carmakers deliver a new SUV, it’s almost always the normal two-box shape, good for load lugging and passenger space, with a Coupe ‘Lifestyle’ version cropping up some time later at a premium […]
