Kia Niro 2018 Car Review

Kia Niro 2018 Car Review

Given the severity of the storm that recently hit Auckland, it’s lucky we had an SUV for the weekend. Kia’s Niro drives only its front wheels and resembles a chunky hatchback more than it does a traditional off-roader, but it does deliver 160mm ground clearance, 20mm more than its Cerato hatch stablemate. And that made for greater assurance when driving a test route littered with debris.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross 2018 Car Review

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross 2018 Car Review

An all-new vehicle from a manufacturer is something like a breath of fresh air to the automotive market; the Eclipse Cross from Mitsubishi Motors is just that, and some!

BMW X2 2018 Car Review

BMW X2 2018 Car Review

No wonder SUVs take up a third of our market, given the term ‘SUV’ now covers such a huge range of vehicles, from those with only a whisker more ride height than a sedan and very little else to mark them out, all the way to rugged rock crawlers.

Skoda Kodiaq 2018 Car Review

Skoda Kodiaq 2018 Car Review

Skoda’s handsome and beautifully-packaged Kodiaq SUV launched back in May 2017, and went on to win the New Zealand Car of the Year award thanks to this seven-seat SUV’s all-round capabilities, and its excellent value.

VW e-Golf 2018 Car Review

VW e-Golf 2018 Car Review

Cars powered by electricity are becoming more common, but the technology is still expensive, and that won’t change until a combination of factors – including more advanced battery tech and economies of scale – start to come into play.

Suzuki Swift Sport 2018 Car Review

Suzuki Swift Sport 2018 Car Review

Anyone hoping to sell a sports hatch based on a mainstream car, and to sell it in reasonable numbers, has to aim for the impossible: a vehicle that will fit many sizes of sporting driver, which can tackle the daily commute or shopping trip and still deliver a blistering back-road drive, all without inflating the price to unreasonable levels.

SEAT Ateca 2018 car review

SEAT Ateca 2018 car review

Get behind the wheel of this SEAT Ateca, and if it weren’t for the steering-wheel badge you might think you were in a Volkswagen. There’s a good reason for that: Spanish marque SEAT has been part of the VW group since the 1980s, and the brand launched here in mid 2017.

Lexus LC500 2018 car review

Lexus LC500 2018 car review

Cast one look at the Lexus LC500 and you can tell that the brand’s old rep for terminally boring design has hit the bin. And it needed to, especially for this car, which is pitched against the likes of Jaguar’s F-Type, the Maserati Gran Turismo and Mercedes’ S-class coupe.

SEAT Leon Cupra car review

SEAT Leon Cupra car review

The first I heard of Spanish vehicle manufacturer SEAT (pronounced say-at) was in the mid 90’s while watching screaming little Yellow Ibiza’s skidding around in a NZ WRC (World Rally Championship) event. Now SEAT have hit NZ shores and it looks like they’re here to stay, with the VW owned company opening a very impressive showroom here in Auckland.

SsangYong Rexton 2017 car review

SsangYong Rexton 2017 car review

For a vehicle that has been around since 2002, there’s not a lot been said about the SsangYong large SUV. Well that may be all about to change as Great Lake Motor Distributors boast the all-new 4th generation Rexton which is slated to take SsangYong into a more premium space than any model they’ve previously offered. With levels of equipment, luxury, refinement and practicality on offer that may yet be found in a large SUV priced at a mainstream level.
