The C5 Badge has been around for quite a while now, the first one was introduced in 2000, and replaced the Xantia and was in production until 2007. The second generation, and a much improved, and less French, and more German looking was launched in 2007 and ran until 2017. Keep Reading
When is an SUV, a large SUV? When it’s a Bentley, of course. And what better place to be immersed in the full Bentley experience than Crewe, the spiritual home. Keep Reading
From the front there is hardly any difference to the well-loved, and very popular standard Q3, if in fact you can call a Q3 standard. But move to the side of the car, and a whole new world opens up. There are sharper creases on the doors, and the engineering to produce such perfectly shaped metal. Go around the back and it has a sloping roof, and looks like a very sexy coupé. The front wings and rear wings with their contoured haunches over the rear wheels look quite dramatic, a very handsome looking SUV. Keep Reading
One is the XC90 B5 with Mild Hybrid, and the other the XC60 Plug-in. The B5 replaces the D5 and the B-Badge means MHEV (Mild-Hybrid). These engines will become the default engine in the Volvo ranges Keep Reading

Not content with merely evolving Porsche’s signature exterior design cues and shape, the new all-electric Taycan also prompted a rethink of the “standard” Porsche interior. Keep Reading
It was back in 1998, when I went on my first Suzuki Jimny launch. This was though the third generation of Jimny, as the original was launched eighteen years earlier in 1970. But the MK3 was the first to be called Jimny, previous ones were called different names around the world. In the UK we had SJ410 and SJ413, in Australia it was called the Sierra and all sorts of names. But in 1998 Suzuki decided to standardise the Jimny name, and so it still remains. The previous car hardly changed in 20 years, and has the longest production run of any modern car. Over 2.8 million Jimny’s have been sold worldwide, with more than 42,000 sold in the UK.
