The Mazda2 Hybrid – the Mazda2 that’s not really a Mazda – gets a facelift to make it more Mazda and less Toyota. Maybe it’s just us, but when Mazda announced it was adding some electrical help to the Mazda2, we assumed it would mean fitting the ICE Mazda2 with a hybrid powertrain. But it […]

The new BMW X2 – the ‘lifestyle’ take on the new BMW X1 – is teased ahead of a debut with new styling and an electric iX2. The BMW X2 is a bit of an oddity in the BMW range; much more a crossover than a coupe SUV and rather overshadowed by its X1 sibling […]
