Qash still king for Nissan

Thu, Aug 21, 2025

An interesting story emerged last week from the UK, whereby a Nissan Qashqai travelled from the foot of England to the tip of Scotland on a single tank, finishing the 1,347km trip with fuel to spare. This was thanks to Nissan's unique e-Power electric powertrain which generates electricity from the engine meaning it is fully motor driven. And while I didn't achieve such a remarkable feat during my recent week-long test with the latest Qashqai, it was clear to see just how brilliant Nissan's e-Power technology really is.

Opel delivers with stylish Grandland

Thu, Aug 14, 2025

I think it is fair to say that the first-generation Opel Grandland (known as the Grandland X) was a pretty nondescript crossover SUV. And even though it only launched back in 2017, the Grandland X has not aged all that well against some of its more attractive rivals. Opel even admits its discontent with the sales levels achieved during the car's lifespan. But Opel should not be looking back in anger, because the new Grandland is half the world away from its predecessor – and she's electric.

Blocky BMW X3 20d delivers diesel prowess

Thu, Aug 07, 2025

It feels an age since I last tested a diesel car. Three months to be exact. A lot of brands will still sell you one, but they do seem few and far between. So naturally I smirked when I sat into the latest BMW X3. The catalyst for my merriment stemmed from the fuel gauge, which read 950km. Yes, double the range of most EVs. And while I would never find myself needing such mileage for a single trip, the full-fat BMW X3 20d xDrive M Sport proved reassuringly stress free.
