Skoda Enyaq Review
The Skoda Enyaq is a solid example of the Czech brand doing what it does best – making no-nonsense, versatile family cars that undercut rivals on price, yet beats them when it comes to standard equipment and practicality. It's up there with some of the best electric vehicles currently on sale.
Volvo XC60 Review
The Volvo XC60 proves that an SUV doesn't need to be particularly sporty to be desirable. It's incredibly stylish, packed with safety kit, and is one of the most comfortable cars you can buy.
Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Review
Like all of the other GTX-branded Volkswagens we've driven, the ID.3 GTX leaves us a bit cold. It's quick and capable, but if you're looking for an electric alternative to VW's own Golf GTI, you might be disappointed here. You're better off saving your money and sticking with the lesser-powered versions of the ID.3
GWM Haval Jolion Pro
GWM, which previously brought you the car formerly known as the Ora Funky Cat, has a new hybrid SUV called the Haval Jolion Pro. It's a bit of a mixed bag overall, though, and in a segment chock-full of talented entries, that's a bit of a problem. There are already good deals on these cars, though, which could swing things in the direction of the Haval Jolion Pro.
