VW Polo, Toyota Yaris and Kia Sportage UK’s best-selling cars in July
New car registrations in the UK in July 2021 were down by nearly 30 per cent, although plug-in sales rose by a similar amount. The whole Covid pandemic thing led to properly topsy-turvey new car registrations in 2020, with months like April 2020 recording almost nothing, and July 2020 recording a big jump as showrooms […]
Ford Kuga Plug-In Hybrid drivers do HALF their journeys on ELECTRIC
Ford has revealed that drivers of the Kuga Plug-in Hybrid across the UK and Europe do 49 per cent of their journeys on battery power.

Stellantis has announced that its DS Brand will stop launching new ICE cars in 2024 and that Alfa Romeo will only sell electric cars from 2027. With the headlong rush into electric cars – driven not by demand, but by legislation – we do wonder if huge chunks of car buyers will be priced out […]

BMW Points will ‘PAY’ you to actually plug-in your BMW PHEV
The new BMW Points scheme aims to ‘pay’ drivers of BMW PHEVs by offering charging credits for plugging in and driving in ‘eDrive Zones’. As we move from ICE cars to EVs, logic tells us that a good way to put a toe in the water of EV driving is with a plug-in hybrid. After […]
Facelifted Dacia Duster SUV goes on sale – but it’s got PRICIER
The newly facelifted Dacia Duster goes on sale in the UK, but prices have risen and the cheapest Duster now costs from £13,995, rising to £20,845. It took Dacia, despite excellent ‘press’ from James May, a long time to put their budget offerings on sale in the UK, but eight years on from arriving they’ve […]
MINI planning to be the first officially DOG-FRIENDLY car retailer by 2022
MINI partners with the Dogs Trust as it aims to make MINI dog-friendly and become the first officially dog-friendly car retailer. We’ve seen car makers try to reach out to dog-owning car buyers to tick boxes that floats boats for dog-lovers and coax them into their brand for a long time. Land Rover has made […]
Bentley flogging a quintet of unused 2015 Mulsanne Grand Limousines
A batch of five Bentley Mulsanne Grand Limousines by Mulliner, built in 2015 but still unused, are up for sale from Bentley. It’s a year since the Bentley Mulsanne left the building as the last of the old-school Bentleys, bringing the Mulsanne to an end after 11 years and 7,300 cars, and ending the 6.75-litre […]
