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.

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.

On the road, the R4 and R5 feel very similar – not surprising given that both cars are based on Renault’s AmpR Small platform. The 4 gets some subtle changes beyond that extended wheelbase; slightly softer springs are also taller, allowing for both a subtly raised ride height and a little more suspension travel, but the end result isn’t hugely different. Much like the cabin similarities, that’s no bad thing. The mix of extra ride height and softer setup introduces a little pitch and dive into the springs, though through that slight softness there are still some smaller bumps that…
The ID.7 Tourer feels most at home on the motorway, with a level of serenity that some far pricier luxury cars struggle to manage, thanks to there being little in the way of road and wind noise. Choose the optional Exterior Plus Pack, and you’ll gain adaptive suspension, which does a great job of isolating you from the worst bumps and scruffy road surfaces at speed, allowing you to waft along without any underlying fidgeting. This is quite an achievement, given the huge optional 20-inch wheels our test car came with. Performance, 0-60mph acceleration and top speed All rear wheel drive…
The 2025 Audi S5 marks a new chapter for Audi’s sporty sedan range, closing the A4 chapter and rolling its spirit into a sleeker, more sophisticated A5 and S5 lineup. This time, Audi focuses the S5 solely as a Sportback and Avant, dropping the coupe and cabriolet to streamline its offerings—and the results look promising for drivers who want practicality without sacrificing a bit of fun. Under the hood, the new S5 packs a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 producing around 362 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque. It’s paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and Audi’s trusty quattro all-wheel-drive system. Real-world…
When the new car market started to sway towards electric power, many of us hoped that small, affordable cars would lead the charge. It’s a bit of a shame, then, that with the exception of one or two credible but expensive city cars, what we mainly got was a glut of large, heavy SUVs that make little to no sense in urban areas. Advertisement – Article continues belowAfter a couple of false starts in the small-car segment, the choice is now rapidly expanding; the vehicles’ sizes are coming down, but more importantly, so are the prices. The two cars you…
When the warm weather hits, there’s nothing better than taking your sports car out for spirited drives, weekend road trips, or just a cruise with the top down. But before you hit the road, it’s crucial to get your car summer-ready to ensure maximum performance, safety, and comfort. Here’s a straightforward guide to prepping your sports car for the sunny season ahead. 1. Give It a Thorough Wash and Wax Start with a deep clean, inside and out.
