Volkswagen promises the debut of a new electric Concept on 15 March, previewing a new design language and, probably, a new VW ID.2.

MG4 is UK Car of the Year 2023 – beating Dacia Jogger and Toyota GR86
The electric MG4 is the UK Car of the Year 2023, with the Dacia Jogger in second place and the Toyota GR86 in third.

Nissan ‘X-in-1’ Drivetrain will make E-POWER hybrids as cheap as ICE models
Nissan is aiming to cut production costs for EVs and e-Power hybrids with a new modular process promising a 30 per cent reduction. Nissan may have squandered the EV lead they had with the LEAF, but they’re now back in the game with the new Ariya and plans for many more EVs – and e-Power […]
New MINI Countryman SUV will add to MINI’s electric offerings
The new MINI Countryman, due to be revealed in September, will grow in size and come with an electric powertrain option.

Ford extends the Puma ST offering with a new 1.0-litre mild hybrid engine option complete with Ford’s Powershift auto ‘box. It’s getting on for four years since the Ford Puma arrived as a small SUV/Crossover based on Fiesta underpinnings but with the now almost de rigueur raised ride height.
