If someone tried to tell us 20 or 30 years ago that SUVs would not only become one of the most popular vehicle types but also highly desirable propositions in the performance and sports car arena, we’d have thought they were nuts. But, as it turns out, that’s exactly what […]

2023 Audi SQ8 TFSI review (video)
Audi’s answer to the large coupe-style SUV category comes with some serious credentials, as it is underpinned by the same platform that lays the foundations for heavy-hitters such as the Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus, and Porsche Cayenne. Does this mean the SQ8 is the smaller, inferior sibling or is it […]
2023 Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo GTS review – Euro trip (video)
When we thought of doing a European trip across Germany, through the Italian Alps and over to Lake Como, the first car that sprung to mind was the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo. It is literally built for this kind of grand touring adventure. So that’s exactly what we booked. The […]

2023 Ford Escape ST-Line review – PHEV & 2.0T AWD (video)
In the highly oversaturated battleground of medium SUVs, the 2023 Ford Escape is a modest sales performer, having shifted 2179 units in 2022 – a 1.2 per cent improvement over its 2021 sales performance. This has more to do with the cut-throat nature of the segment than any deficiencies on […]
