The Vauxhall Corsa GSE, Vauxhall’s ‘Hot’ electric Corsa with 276bhp, goes on sale with prices from £32,995. There was lots of chatter a few years ago that the demise of the Supermini – especially performance superminis – was nigh as we moved into the EV era, but that’s proved to be wide of the mark. […]
New Mercedes GLA arrives – and this time there’s an ELECTRIC one too
The new Mercedes GLA is revealed, and it’s bigger than before and comes with both ICE and Electric powertrain options. Mercedes has come to its senses with their push into EVs, dropping the blobby ‘EQ’ offerings and instead going down the EV as a powertrain option, as we’ve recently seen with the new CLA. Now […]
Volkswagen ID. Polo is more EXPENSIVE than the Renault 5 and Nissan Micra
Prices and specs for the new Volkswagen ID. Polo are announced, with prices starting at £23,945, more than the Renault 5 and Nissan Micra. The reveal of the ID. Polo back in April was, in many ways, more significant than the arrival of the ID. 3, the first of VW’s ‘new Age’ EVs, because it […]
BMW iX1 and iX2 prices SLASHED to qualify for ECG
BMW has slashed the price of the BMW iX1 and iX2 EVs to qualify for the full Electric Car Grant, meaning savings of up to £12k. The Electric Car Grant has been pitched to exclude ‘Premium’ cars by making the grant only available for cars costing under £37,000, although the same car with higher trim […]
Range Rover GT REVEALED – the ‘Road Rover’ arrives as the fifth Range Rover model
We get our first look at the Range Rover GT, a new electric Crossover Grand Tourer and the fifth Range Rover model. There’s been chatter for a long time that JLR are planning a Range Rover ‘saloon’, with JLR filing a trademark for ‘Road Rover’ back in 2018, reinforcing that belief. So far, the closest […]
First look at the new Smart #2 ahead of an October debut
We get the first (camouflaged) look at the new Smart #2 ahead of an October debut as Smart goes back to its ForTwo roots. It’s been seven years since Mercedes went into partnership with Geely to try and turn the smart car brand into a business that actually made a profit, with Mercedes doing the […]
Electric Fiat 500e is now CHEAPER than the 500 Hybrid
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 […]
Volkswagen ID. Cross ARRIVES to challenge the Renault 4, Ford Puma Gen-E and more
The Volkswagen ID. Cross arrives as an EV take on the VW T-Cross, with two battery options, three power outputs and prices from around £24k. Volkswagen hasn’t really recovered from the dieselegate scandal a decade ago, and its Mea Culpa for that serious misstep – a headlong dive into EVs – hasn’t exactly gone to […]
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 Denza Z electric supercar is revealed, boasting 1582bhp from its tri-motor powertrain and priced from £142,900. As we said when BYD revealed its first UK model from its premium brand Denza – the Denza Z9 GT – they’ve come a very long way from producing a Porsche Cayenne clone back in 2009, and now […]
