NEW Ford Electric Explorer Review! Is it good enough?
The new Ford Explorer is an all-electric SUV that is set to play a crucial role in Ford's line-up as it continues to move away from hatchbacks such as the Fiesta and Focus.
It is based on the same platform as the VW ID.4, but has Ford been able to infuse enough of its DNA to stand out from its German rival, as well as from a plethora of other electric SUVs such as the Tesla Model Y, Volvo EX30, BMW iX1 and more?
In this CarGurus UK review, Vicky Parrott tests the brand-new Explorer to see how it fares for space and practicality, technology, comfort, ride and handling, and costs. While not a perfect all-rounder, the Explorer shines for the way it drives. Would that be enough to sway you?

2024 Volkswagen Tiguan Review: All-new family SUV!
zhlédnutí 14KPřed dnem
The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan is the latest version of VW's best-selling car worldwide. That makes it rather important. This latest version is the third generation of VW’s mid-size five-seater family SUV, and its rivals include models from Lexus, Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Honda, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Peugeot, Renault, and more. To see how it fares, Vicky Parrott tests the latest Tiguan - complete with 2...
NEW MG3 Hybrid Review: Does it embarrass the Yaris?
zhlédnutí 12KPřed dnem
The 2024 MG3 Hybrid is a petrol-electric supermini to rival the likes of the Toyota Yaris and Renault Clio. While it might not have the Yaris's long reputation for dependability or the Clio's design flair, it is extremely keenly priced, with the range starting from £18,495. In this CarGurus UK review, Vicky Parrott explores if there's appeal to this small MG3 Hybrid beyond its affordability. Vi...
NEW Volkswagen Passat Review: Sensationally sensible
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 14 dny
The 2024 Volkswagen Passat is something of a rarity in the new car market in that it's a large family car that isn't an SUV or crossover. Of course, VW has the (much more popular) Tiguan to fulfil that role, but that doesn't mean the Passat doesn't have a certain appeal of its own. In this CarGurus UK review, Vicky Parrott tests the new-for-2024 Passat, which is available in estate form only an...
NEW Citroen e-C3 Review: The affordable EV we've been waiting for!

The 2024 Citroen e-C3 is a £22,000 electric car with an official WLTP range of 199 miles from a full charge of its 44kWh lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery. Along with the Dacia Spring, it is part of a new wave of much-needed electric cars with much lower starting prices, yet that still have decent range and appealing design. In this CarGurus UK review, Vicky Parrott test drives the e-C3 as w...
2024 Suzuki Swift Review: The BEST small car?

The Suzuki Swift is, in our opinion, one of the most underrated small cars on sale. The latest model, launched in 2024, aims to take over where the Ford Fiesta left off, by being a small and affordable car for those who don't want or need an SUV. It uses a three-cylinder petrol engine with mild hybrid technology to offer a sensible blend of performance and fuel economy, helped by most models we...

New BMW i5 Review: Is electric 5 Series the best yet?

New Toyota C-HR Review: 2024's best small crossover?

    I'm so confused by Ford. This car was delayed by a year to include newer battery technology - but it's the same as the ID3 which has been out ages. And they didn't take the extra year to fix the awful haptic steering controls or fix the bad infotainment UX. It feels like a missed opportunity.

    • @IMAN7THRYLOS
      @IMAN7THRYLOS Před dnem

      Ford claimed that the delay was because of some new EU battery regulations that they had to comply with. VW also did some upgrades to the MEB platform so likely that could also be a factor. As far as the haptic steering controls, this was done on purpose for cost cutting reasons. Haptic controls are cheaper than buttons.
