Check the price of a Porsche Cayenne with our free car valuation tool… Running costsAs you’d expect, running any Cayenne is costly. Insurance ratings range from 44 to 50, while all are subject to the luxury road tax supplement until year six. Expect 35-40mpg from a PHEV, but more like 25-30mpg from V6 petrol cars; the V8s are more likely to average no more than 20mpg. Services alternate between minor and major, which are priced at around £1,100 and £1,600 respectively, although exact costs vary depending on spec. Those prices might seem steep, but with a service interval of two…

Instead, the ID.3 was plagued by a range of small, niggling issues in areas that were previously taken for granted. We’d banged on for decades about how build quality and ergonomics were VW staples, but both were oddly absent. To its credit, Volkswagen…
The hybrid model only offers marginally better fuel economy than the Boosterjet version, so unless you need the former’s automatic gearbox (although we’d recommend avoiding Suzuki’s one completely), the manual offers a better driving experience. Suzuki owners are a loyal bunch, and while the company sells in relatively low volumes in the UK, there are enough fans of the marque out there to sing its praises. The 2024 Driver Power survey saw the company finish 19th out of 32 marques, beating some much bigger names in the process. The Vitara comes with a three-year/60,000-mile warranty. However, Suzuki also offers a…
VerdictBy most metrics, the Ineos Grenadier isn’t a great car, but it’s one that gets under your skin. Much like the Land Rover Defender that inspired it, the quirks and foibles were frustrating at times, but there’s enough character about the 4×4 that I found it easy to forgive. Considering Ineos’s aim with it, I’d say that’s mission accomplished. Advertisement – Article continues belowMileage: 13,023 Efficiency: 22.1mpg We’ve explored the Ineos Grenadier’s off-road potential, and it left us wondering – if you ventured as far off the beaten track as possible, how could this 4×4 support you? Fortunately, Ineos provides…
However, Skoda has not performed so well over the past few years in the manufacturers’ category of our Driver Power survey. It finished 12th overall in 2021, but dropped to 20th place out of 29 brands in 2022. In our latest 2024 survey, the brand fell further to 23rd place out of 30 manufacturers. We hope with the improvements in the brand’s infotainment system, this is a trend that can be reversed next time around. The Enyaq Coupe shares the regular SUV’s five-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating, as well as its 94 and 89 per cent scores for adult and…
A worthy mention is also the excellent optional head-up display that’s part of an optional Driver Assistance Package, which bundles in a 360-degree camera and a few other active driver assist elements. Ford hasn’t compromised too heavily for the sake of practicality with CapriThe Coupe SUV no longer needs to be a great compromise, so Ford says, and has rightly proven with Capri. There’s little to no compromise on space in the back or boot compared with a Ford Explorer, the exception being the boot shape. There’s plenty of space in the second row, as the sloping roofline does little…
If you’re not confident doing the job yourself, professional fitting will typically cost you between £50 and £150, depending on the car and camera set-up needed. Guide to common dash cam terms App linksAs with most gadgets available these days, all but the most basic dash cams will have an app that allows you to access the menus, view footage and download files to your phone. This will either be in addition to a screen on the back of the camera, or instead of it. The apps will be linked by either Bluetooth or the camera’s own WiFi link,…
Our Scenic is the range-topping Iconic Long Range model with no options, except for the £1,250 metallic paint. So it costs £46,745 as tested with 20-inch wheels of an unusual design, a 360-degree camera system, the 12-inch portrait infotainment screen, a 12.3in driver’s display screen and its party piece, the Solarbay panoramic roof, which can electrically switch from opaque to clear at the touch of a button. It’s around £4,000 cheaper than the rear-wheel-drive Ford Explorer with the larger battery that we tested it against. Family buyers might panic at the sight of the Scenic’s interior. The light-grey fake leather…
Standard kit is fair, with all models featuring air conditioning, electric windows, Bluetooth, rear parking sensors, cruise control, lane-keep assist, auto lights, remote central locking and a multifunction steering wheel. On top of this, Enterprise Plus adds a through-loading bulkhead and twin front passenger seats, while a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone mirroring is added, as is a 10-inch driver’s display. The Driver variant adds wheel trims and a digital rear-view mirror with side view, rear camera with 180-degree view, rain-sensing wipers, and the touchscreen is upgraded with navigation and voice control. The electric Berlingo has had a boost…
It also has a lengthy eight-metre hose with a smooth-running reel to make it easier to tidy, and the brass fittings are much easier to handle than those on most of the rivals here. The lance is unnecessarily long, though, and the tool storage feels like an afterthought.
