Price: around £217.99 (including 128GB SD card) Contact: amazon.co.uk We’re big fans of Miofive’s dash cams, and the company’s range has now been bolstered by a mirror-mounted product. Cameras that fit over a car’s rear-view mirror take up less space on smaller windscreens and are always within reach to save footage after an incident. Advertisement – Article continues belowThe Miofive Mirror Dash Cam has the added advantage of a waterproof rear camera, allowing it to be mounted on the outside of a vehicle. This means it can be used on convertibles with no fixed rear window, or vans and campers. In…
All of us will have used a torch at some time for working on a car, perhaps to look for a lost bolt in the depths of an engine bay, or to help you see while dealing with a breakdown in the dark. While the lights on our phones mean we always have easy illumination at our fingertips, an LED torch is a superior tool for most jobs in and around your car. LED Lenser’s newly revamped range of torches is of top quality – but this comes at a price. The P7R Pro is the most interesting of the…
The all-wheel-drive Touring also gets an X-Mode off-road setting (another inherited trait from its Subaru co-parentage), but the UK market won’t be getting the no-cost all-terrain tyre option that’s offered in the US. No loss there, unless you intend to head well off the beaten track. The standard, front-wheel-drive bZ4X Touring obviously forgoes the rear motor, which slashes output to 221bhp. Toyota hasn’t published a 0-60mph time, but considering the standard bZ4X completes the sprint in 7.4 seconds, it’s safe to say the heavier Touring will be slower still while also missing out on the handling-enhancing benefits of the AWD…
During our test we didn’t notice any trim rattles or creaks, which is good considering the tight fit and finish of seemingly every panel inside. Infotainment, sat-nav and stereo With the same dashboard as the IM6, the IM5 also comes with a 10.5-inch touchscreen on the centre console. We found it sits a little too flat, which isn’t an issue in the IM6 where you’re sitting higher up, but it’s a little awkward in the sleeker IM5. The infotainment system’s screen (as with the 26.3-inch dashtop-mounted screen) is impressive, with quick response and loading times. The design of the menus is…
“The Kia PV5 is hands down one of the most practical cars on sale; huge boot, loads of legroom; this MPV majors on versatility.” – Richard Ingram, deputy editor Kia generally does well in Driver Power and provides excellent warranty cover, but its NCAP score could be betterPros Kia’s long warranty period Long service intervals Cons Four-star Euro NCAP rating beaten by VW ID. Buzz Only the top trim has full ADAS suite The Kia PV5 was awarded a four-star out of five rating by safety experts Euro NCAP. That’s on par with the likes of the Peugeot E-5008, but the…
So charging aside, what else can I say about the CX-80? The 323bhp power output with 500Nm of torque sounds like a lot, but it has a 2,300kg SUV to contend with. The 0-62mph dash is over pretty rapidly, in 6.8 seconds, but Mazda’s famous sporty DNA isn’t evident. This car costs £56,530 in mid-range Homura Plus trim, with just one option fitted: Melting Copper paint, at £650. The only free colour option is Arctic White, while Mazda’s trademark Soul Red Crystal paint is £900. But that might be a bit much on a car of the CX-80’s bulk, anyway. …
Buy now from Amazon Simply OBDII Reader with Digital Screen Simply’s more sophisticated reader is easy to use, with a colour screen and a usefully long 77cm cable, meaning you don’t need to kneel next to the footwell in cars with awkward port locations. The colour screen reacts instantly to inputs and connects to the car quickly, too. We also liked the rubber grips around the unit, which make it comfortable to hold and protect it from knocks. But it doesn’t do anything better than the Temu, which is far cheaper. Simply OBDII Engine Fault Code Scan Tool Price: around…
To get an accurate valuation of a specific model, check out our free car valuation tool… There’s lots of showroom appeal to the Starray – though it falls down on ergonomics Pros Classy interior look Lots of standard kit Build quality seems solid Cons Over-reliance on touchscreen Infotainment is confusing Dull design There are a few tweaks to the Starray’s design compared to the electric EX5 with different bumpers and lights, front and rear. Geely has clearly kept the design safe, but what it lacks in distinctiveness, it makes up for in equipment. The Geely Starray Pro gets: 10-inch driver’s…
The former beats the similarly four-wheel drive version of the Tesla Model Y (1,600kg), and matches the Macan Electric. “Much like the Volvo EX90, the Polestar 4 has frameless side mirrors that you cannot clamp traditional extended towing mirrors to.” – Max Adams, online reviews editor.
