2024 Honda HR-V Summary

Like many car brands, Honda is storming the hybrid field. The new HR-V brings with it a hybrid powertrain and external facelift but is it enough to keep it competitive in the small SUV segment?

As with any cosmetic surgery you may wonder whether the facelift has been successful.

No tricks – I’ll tell you straight up the new external design might be what you’re looking for if you’re on the hunt for a small SUV that doesn’t look like it moonlights as an Uber for Mr Big Ears (a Noddy reference for any youngsters out there).

We're testing out the top hybrid model, the L, to see what else this urban dweller gets right and what it sometimes gets wrong.

2025 Nissan Qashqai Summary

The Nissan Qashqai has had a mid-life facelift which sees the line-up reshuffled, some new technology fitted to the lower grades and a new flagship variant, the N-Design e-Power.

The new top-grade hybrid is being put through its paces this week with my family of three to see if it ticks the boxes when it comes to efficiency and practicality.
