2024 Kia EV6 Summary

Going electric has never been cooler and Kia has beefed up the line-up of its mid-sized EV6 so buyers have the same number of options as its fiercest competitor - the Tesla Model Y.

On test this week is the Air, which is the entry-grade model but it still boasts the same battery size and excellent charging capacity as its more powerful siblings. All packaged into a more affordable price-point but with popular rivals like the Model Y and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 as running mates, how does it compare?

My family of three have been family-testing it to find out for you!

2025 Cupra Ateca Summary

Not many people even know what a Cupra Ateca V is… and this is the second best thing about this small SUV. The first best thing is that Cupra is owned by Volkswagen.

So, this means you can have your mysterious SUV not many other people drive while knowing it’s underpinned by one of the largest car manufacturers in the world which makes cars millions of people drive and one which also has a reputation for high quality vehicles.

The big news here is the Ateca model range has a new and lower entry fee with the arrival of this V grade. See, until now the only Ateca Australians could buy is the high-performance VZx which while really sporty also came with a pretty big price tag.

So, how much is the Ateca V and what do you get for the money? We found this out at the Australian launch along with how practical and safe it is and what it’s like to drive.
