The Citroen AMI is presented as a unique, affordable, and license-free electric quadricycle, primarily aimed at urban commuting.

Lexus LBX Driven - The Best Small Hybrid SUV You Can Buy? UK 4K
The Lexus LBX aims to bring the brand to a wider audience, and this review suggests it largely succeeds, despite its Yaris Cross underpinnings. The re... moreviewer praises the styling, noting it looks significantly better than the Yaris Cross and has a distinct Lexus identity. While the 1.5L strong hybrid powertrain (136hp) is shared with Toyota, Lexus has made substantial refinements, including a new battery and noise reduction measures, resulting in a smoother, more refined drive than expected. The car excels in urban environments, offering comfort and surprising agility with minimal body roll. Interior quality is a strong point, with premium materials like leather used extensively on touchpoints, setting it apart from mainstream rivals. Rear space is adequate for two, though legroom is tight. The reviewer highlights the middle specification trim as a good balance of features and affordability. While it may not possess the ultimate refinement or driving engagement of higher-end Lexus models, the LBX is deemed a highly enjoyable, stylish, and affordable hybrid crossover, making it a strong recommendation for its target market. less
Kia's Fastest And Most Expensive Car Ever! EV6 GT
The Kia EV6 GT is presented as a significant engineering feat, boasting 577 horsepower and a 0-62 mph time under 3.5 seconds, positioning it as Kia�... more39;s fastest and most expensive car to date. Despite its initial high price tag of £60,000, the reviewer argues that current market trends, with other EVs reaching similar price points for less performance, make the EV6 GT a more justifiable purchase. The design is lauded for its subtle yet aggressive GT-specific enhancements, including larger lime green brake calipers, unique alloy wheels, and revised bumpers, maintaining the EV6's inherent sporty and futuristic aesthetic. Practicality is largely retained, with a minor reduction in boot space (480L vs 490L) attributed to the larger rear motor. The interior receives praise for its premium feel, featuring supportive winged bucket seats with Alcantara and lime green accents, though the manual seat adjustment is noted as a drawback for a car in this price bracket. The dual-screen infotainment system and user-friendly center console are highlighted as positives. Performance is exceptional, with multiple drive modes offering a versatile driving experience from efficient to full attack. However, real-world range is significantly impacted by cold weather, dropping from an estimated 250 miles to around 200 miles, a common EV concern in winter. The reviewer concludes that the EV6 GT is a highly impressive and well-executed performance EV, offering a compelling blend of sportiness, refinement, and practicality, even comparing favorably to much more expensive German rivals. less
We Need More Electric Estates! Peugeot E-308 SW Review 2024
The Peugeot e-308 SW is presented as a stylish and practical alternative to the growing number of electric SUVs. The reviewer praises its striking des... moreign, particularly the rear, and highlights its significant boot space (548 liters, expandable to nearly 1,500 liters), making it a strong contender for families or those needing cargo capacity. The interior is commended for its driver-focused layout and high-quality materials, creating a premium ambiance. However, the reviewer notes that rear legroom is somewhat tight and the central console intrudes on space for a middle passenger. Performance is described as adequate, with a sport mode offering 156 bhp, though the reviewer expresses disappointment with the fake exhaust trim on an electric vehicle. The primary concern is the claimed range of around 250 miles, which is significantly less than the new platform e-308 SUV, and real-world figures are expected to be lower (around 220 miles). While the car is lauded for its engaging drive and firm suspension, the price point, especially for the GT trim, is considered high, potentially making rivals like the Tesla Model 3 a more compelling, albeit less stylish, option. less
Mazda MX-30 Plug-in Hybrid - Long Journey Review. How Efficient Is It? UK 4K
The Mazda MX-30 Plug-in Hybrid (R-EV) addresses the range anxiety of its electric-only predecessor, offering a rotary engine as a range extender. Whil... moree the driving dynamics remain a strong point, praised for being comfortable, engaging, and distinctly Mazda-like, the efficiency figures fall short of expectations. The reviewer found the claimed 400-mile range to be closer to 300 miles, with a real-world fuel economy around 30-35 MPG, which is disappointing. Power delivery is described as nippy in short bursts but lacks confidence for overtaking at higher speeds. Practicality issues, such as the rear-opening doors and limited rear legroom, persist from the EV model, making it best suited for singles or small families on shorter journeys. Despite the efficiency and power concerns, the reviewer concludes that the R-EV variant makes the MX-30 a more practical proposition for daily use without constant charging worries, though it's not the long-range cruiser initially hoped for. less
2024 Toyota C-HR Review - Improved Hybrid Drive? UK 4K
The reviewer explores the latest generation of the Toyota C-HR, questioning its appeal to potential buyers. The video aims to assess whether the impro... moreved hybrid drive system warrants consideration for a 'next buy' list. Specific details regarding driving experience, performance, and features are expected to be covered, though the provided transcript is empty, leaving the reviewer's final verdict and detailed pros/cons unstated. The focus appears to be on evaluating the hybrid technology and overall desirability of this new iteration of the C-HR. less
2023 Dacia Jogger Gets Hybrid Power! Review
The Dacia Jogger Hybrid 140 is reviewed, focusing on its value proposition and practicality. The reviewer highlights the car's robust design, enh... moreanced by Dacia's new branding, and practical features like standard roof rails and clever boot space solutions, including removable third-row seats. While acknowledging the interior's hard plastics and the steel wheels with hubcaps designed to look like alloys, the reviewer praises the overall practicality and affordability. The hybrid system is a significant upgrade, offering up to 80% electric driving in the city and a smoother, more responsive experience than the petrol model, achieving a respectable 51 MPG. However, the car's major drawback is its one-star Euro NCAP safety rating, attributed to a lack of advanced safety features and protection for the rear-most seats. Despite this, the reviewer concludes that the Jogger Hybrid offers excellent value for money, particularly for families prioritizing space and cost-effectiveness, with the hybrid powertrain being a key differentiator. less
2023 Kia EV Soul Review - Embrace the Weird and Wonderful
The 2023 Kia EV Soul is reviewed as a quirky yet practical electric vehicle that embraces its unique styling. The reviewer highlights that exterior ch... moreanges for this generation are minimal, focusing on subtle updates like gloss black trim on the rear lights. A significant addition is the new entry-level 'Urban' trim, making the Soul Kia's most affordable EV, though it comes with a smaller battery and reduced specifications. The 'Explore' model, which the reviewer drives, features a larger 64 kWh battery offering a claimed 280 miles of range, with real-world city driving potentially reaching 400 miles, though the reviewer expresses skepticism about achieving such figures. The interior is described as friendly and approachable with a rounded design theme, contrasting with other Kia models. While the top-spec model offers generous equipment, some down-market materials are noted. Practicality is a strong suit, with a spacious rear cabin and a large, practical boot opening, though cup holder and center console storage are criticized. The driving experience is functional and comfortable rather than exhilarating, though the car offers surprising responsiveness when pushed. The reviewer concludes that the Soul excels as a comfortable, well-equipped family car designed for everyday use, with the entry-level Urban trim likely appealing to those who don't require extensive range. less
BMW i4 Review: Real World Range Test
The reviewer revisits the BMW i4, admitting initial reservations were perhaps too harsh. Initially underwhelmed after driving the more opulent iX, the... more reviewer now appreciates the i4's strength: its conventional, engaging driving experience that mimics a classic rear-wheel-drive BMW. Key positives include the familiar, low-slung driving position, a connected feel to the road, and a well-blended interior that balances futuristic screens with classic BMW elements. The iDrive system is praised, though the lack of physical climate controls is noted. Real-world range tests, after adjusting driving modes, showed impressive results, achieving over 300 miles with 87% battery remaining, suggesting claimed figures are attainable with careful driving. While acknowledging competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 offer better practicality and storage for families, the i4 is deemed a superior choice over the Tesla Model 3 for those seeking a sportier, more traditional driving feel in an EV. The M Sport trim is highlighted as looking particularly good. less
Hybrid With A Super Power - Lexus RX450h+ Review 2023 (UK)
The Lexus RX450h+ 2023 offers a compelling blend of plug-in hybrid efficiency and self-charging hybrid capability, addressing common concerns about hy... morebrid range and battery weight. The reviewer highlights its luxurious interior, packed with premium materials, thoughtful details like the adjustable cup holders, and extensive rear-seat amenities including cooled seats and electric recline. The driving experience is praised for its refinement, quietness, and smooth power delivery, particularly noting how the hybrid system avoids the strained noises found in some competitors. A key advantage is its substantial electric-only range (40-43 miles), making it attractive for company car drivers, while the seamless transition to a self-charging hybrid ensures efficiency on longer journeys. Despite the high price point (nearly £80,000 for the test car), the reviewer finds the RX450h+ to be a well-executed and impressive vehicle, offering a high level of standard equipment and a unique proposition in the luxury SUV market. less
MG5 EV Review - Is the Only Electric Estate Any Good? (2022/2023) UK 4K
The MG5 EV Estate, the sole contender in its segment, receives a facelift that significantly modernizes its appearance and addresses some previous sho... morertcomings. While not as visually striking as the MG4, its focus remains on practicality, enhanced by 17-inch wheels on higher trims and improved exterior detailing. The reviewer highlights the improved, though still slightly fiddly, charge port flap and the new ability to tow up to half a ton. Boot space is practical at 479 liters, but the rear seats do not fold flat, a notable drawback for maximum cargo utility. The interior is praised for its plush, comfortable, and high-quality feel, with a user-friendly layout and physical buttons on the steering wheel, contrasting positively with the MG4. Real-world range is deemed achievable and sufficient for most needs, with the reviewer noting consistent performance with climate control usage. However, charging speeds are considered inadequate compared to rivals, with an 87kW maximum. The infotainment system is a significant upgrade, featuring a larger, faster screen and a standard digital instrument cluster, though Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity issues due to USB-A port absence and cable requirements are noted. Rear passenger space is adequate but not class-leading, with limited headroom due to battery placement. Despite its compromises, particularly in outright estate practicality and charging speed, the MG5 EV is recommended for its affordability, achievable range, comfortable ride, and overall competence as a practical electric estate, especially for those prioritizing these aspects. less
Tesla Model Y - How Good Actually Is It? (UK 4K Review)
The Tesla Model Y is presented as a highly practical electric SUV, building on the Model 3's foundation. The reviewer highlights its significant ... moreinterior space, particularly the cavernous boot (854L) and additional under-bonnet storage, making it ideal for families and luggage. The panoramic sunroof and light interior contribute to an airy cabin feel, though rear passengers might find shoulder room a bit tight. While the minimalist interior is dominated by a large touchscreen, the lack of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and rear climate controls are noted drawbacks. Performance is praised, with the Dual Motor variant offering brisk acceleration. However, the reviewer finds the ride can be uncomfortable on rougher surfaces, suggesting rivals like the Audi Q4 e-tron or Hyundai Ioniq 5 offer superior comfort. Despite these criticisms, the Model Y's compelling range, access to the Supercharger network, and advanced driver assistance systems make it a strong, cost-effective contender, with the reviewer ultimately conceding that Tesla's package is hard to beat for practicality and overall EV ownership experience. less
Was I Wrong About the Ford Mustang Mach-e? Full Review
The reviewer revisits the Ford Mustang Mach-e a year and a half after its initial release, admitting to being initially underwhelmed due to expectatio... morens of a V8-powered muscle car. This time, focusing on its merits as a practical family electric SUV, the reviewer finds the Mach-e to be a compelling proposition. Key positives include its striking styling, practical interior with decent boot space (401 liters plus a useful frunk with a drainage plug), and engaging driving dynamics, particularly the firm steering that provides good driver connection. Acceleration is highlighted as a strong point across all trims, with the GT model being exceptionally rapid. While charging speeds are considered 'lukewarm' for the standard range model (110 kW max), it can still add 56 miles in 10 minutes. Criticisms include the premium pricing (starting under £51,000), shared interior components with standard Fords, and a central console that intrudes on rear middle-seat legroom. Ultimately, the reviewer concludes that the Mach-e is a fun, practical, and competitive family electric SUV, regretting that Ford's initial marketing may have set the wrong expectations. less
Audi E-tron GT - Dad's Reaction to Launching (Quattro 350kW Vorsprung) Review UK 4K 2022
The Audi E-tron GT, particularly the Vorsprung trim, is presented as a car fit for a superhero, echoing its cinematic debut. The reviewer praises its ... morestriking, futuristic exterior styling and the driver-focused, classy interior that prioritizes engagement over outright space. Key highlights include the excellent digital instrument cluster, physical controls, supportive massaging seats with adjustable bolstering, and sensitive parking sensors that protect the large alloy wheels. Performance is a major draw, with the 523hp launch control offering thrilling, two-stage acceleration that feels more exciting than expected, even compared to rivals. The steering is sharp and well-weighted, and despite its nearly 2.5-ton weight, the car feels nimble and fun to drive, aided by standard air suspension that glides over bumps. Real-world range is estimated at around 260 miles, which is considered impressive for a performance EV, holding steady even with spirited driving. While minor criticisms include the charging flap mechanism and conventional door handles, the E-tron GT is lauded for its soul, personality, and ability to convert petrolheads, offering a compelling blend of performance, comfort, and stunning design that makes it a car to fall in love with. less
All New Kia Niro Hybrid - This Is The Best Entry Level SUV! (1.6 Petrol HEV) UK 4K 2022
The Kia Niro Hybrid (version 2) is presented as a compelling entry-level SUV option for 2022, significantly improving upon its predecessor with a stri... moreking new exterior design and a more practical interior. The reviewer highlights the "entry-level" model's surprisingly premium feel, featuring a leather-wrapped steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, and a clever switchable screen for climate and infotainment controls, features often found in more expensive vehicles. While the screens are noted as being slightly less impressive than in higher trims or other Kia models, the overall value proposition is strong. The hybrid powertrain is praised for its efficiency, prioritizing electric driving at low speeds and offering a smooth, refined experience with 139 brake horsepower. Boot space is generous at 451 litres, and rear passenger room is ample. Downsides are minimal, with the reviewer mentioning some road noise and a bumpy ride at low speeds, and the rear quarter panel being color-coded on this entry-level model rather than a contrasting finish. Despite these minor points, the Niro Hybrid is deemed a "hard SUV to beat" for its blend of style, technology, and efficiency. less
Cupra Born E-Boost Review - The Fast One (V2 58kw) UK 4K
The Cupra Born e-boost V2 58kw is presented as the faster version of the Born, aiming for a sporty appeal. The reviewer praises its "outrageous&q... moreuot; styling, distinctive copper accents, and aggressive front-end design, noting it successfully differentiates itself from the VW ID.3. The interior is described as having a "lovely layout" with a high-quality steering wheel, though some cabin plastics and the lack of electric seats in the V2 trim are noted as drawbacks. The e-boost variant offers a power increase to approximately 230 hp, with a notable boost function providing temporary extra power. While the 0-62 mph time of 6.6 seconds is considered slightly slower than some hot hatches, the reviewer highlights its impressive low-down torque and the exhilarating acceleration achieved with the boost engaged, even outperforming the stated 6.6 seconds in a real-world test (achieving 5.8 seconds). Handling is a strong point, with the dynamic chassis and lower stance providing sweet, grippy performance that effectively masks the car's weight. Range is competitive, with up to 260 miles from the 58kWh battery. The reviewer's main critique is that despite the e-boost, they still desired even more power, feeling Cupra could have pushed the performance further, especially when compared to heavier but quicker EVs like the ID.4 GTX. less
2022 DS4 Cross Review - Full of Style But Is It Full of Substance? UK 4K (E-Tense)
The 2022 DS4 Cross is lauded for its breathtaking design, with the reviewer considering it the best-looking hatchback/crossover on the market. Inside,... more the cabin is praised for its luxurious feel, quirky yet grown-up details, and improved user-friendliness compared to previous DS models, particularly the relocation of window controls and the intuitive infotainment system with the unique Smart Touch screen. Practicality is decent, with a competitive boot space of 430 litres (though reduced in the hybrid), and comfortable rear seating for two adults. The E-Tense plug-in hybrid variant is highlighted for its efficiency and performance, offering up to 29-30 miles of electric-only range and a brisk 0-62mph time of 7.7 seconds. However, the reviewer notes that while the ride is exceptionally smooth and quiet, the driving engagement is somewhat lost at higher speeds, feeling vague. The 'Cross' variant's styling enhancements are questioned for not offering any real-world capability benefits like increased ground clearance or four-wheel drive, with fake exhaust tips on the hybrid model being a particular disappointment. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer is smitten with the DS4's overall package, finding it a stylish, luxurious, and economical alternative to its German rivals. less
Peugeot 508 PSE SW Review - Why Aren't More People Buying This? Performance Hybrid Test Drive
The Peugeot 508 PSE SW is presented as a unique and exciting performance hybrid, challenging conventional choices. The reviewer highlights its strikin... moreg exterior design, particularly the limited edition grey paint and subtle green accents, and praises its sporty yet grown-up aesthetic. The car's performance is attributed to a 1.6L plug-in hybrid system producing 355 horsepower, delivered through an all-wheel-drive setup. While acknowledging its impressive acceleration (0-62 mph in 5.2 seconds) and nimble handling, the reviewer notes a lack of engaging engine sound and a performance dip with a depleted battery. Interior positives include premium materials, a driver-focused layout, and a good mix of physical and touch controls, though the unconventional seating position and small steering wheel might be polarizing. Practicality is decent, with the same boot space as the standard 508, but rear passenger space is tight. The main drawback identified is the high price point (over £55,000), positioning it against quicker German rivals. However, the reviewer suggests its exclusivity and lower running costs, especially for company car schemes, make it a compelling, albeit niche, alternative. less
2022 Kia Sportage Review - Have They Hit A Home Run? Best Family Car (GT-Line S Hybrid AWD) UK 4K
The 2022 Kia Sportage, particularly in the GT-Line S Hybrid AWD trim, is presented as a significant evolution for Kia's best-selling model. The r... moreeviewer praises its striking, aggressive, and sporty exterior design, a departure from its softer predecessors, and notes shared design cues with the EV6. Inside, the cabin is lauded for its futuristic dual-screen setup, innovative switchable climate/infotainment control panel, and premium materials like textured dashboard details and white-piped leather seats. Practicality is highlighted with wide-opening rear doors and generous boot space (591 litres for mild hybrid, slightly less for strong hybrid). While the Sportage isn't positioned as a pure sports car, improvements in steering sharpness and suspension stiffness make it more driver-focused than before. Minor criticisms include the reach to the touchscreen for shorter drivers and a slightly compromised ride and increased cabin noise on the largest 19-inch wheels, suggesting smaller wheels might offer a more settled experience. The reviewer also highlights the excellent safety features, including a useful blind-spot camera. Overall, the Sportage is deemed a brilliant family car, excelling in occupant safety, comfort, and ride handling, with its extensive powertrain options, quality, and seven-year warranty making it a compelling package that rivals have struggled to match. less
Kia EV6 Review - My Favourite Car of 2021 (GT Line S) Test Drive
The Kia EV6 GT Line S is reviewed as a strong contender, solidifying its position as a favorite for 2021. The reviewer praises its striking, fresh sty... moreling, which avoids mimicking other brands, and highlights the unique rear light design. The interior is noted for its modern feel, comfortable rear seating with ample legroom (despite a slightly firm middle seat), and a clever dual-function touchscreen with physical controls for climate and media. The driving experience is a major plus, described as driver-focused with good steering feel and minimal body roll, making it agile despite its size. The reviewer also commends the non-invasive driver aids and the impressive real-world range maintenance. However, criticisms include fiddly flat door handles, a slightly plasticky feel to the front seats, and a less than ideal rear visibility due to the small window. The reviewer also muses that while its SUV practicality is appreciated, a sports saloon body style might have better suited its dynamic driving characteristics. less
Citroen Ami Review - €6,000 A Car You Can Drive Without a License? Drive Thru UK 4K
The Citroen AMI is presented as a unique, affordable, and license-free electric quadricycle, primarily aimed at urban commuting. The reviewer highligh... morets its exceptionally small size, quirky and symmetrical design, and low cost (around €6,000 new in France). A key selling point is its accessibility, as it can be driven from age 14 in France and 17 in the UK on a provisional license. The 43-mile range and 3-hour charging time are deemed sufficient for city use, though the 28 mph top speed is identified as a significant limitation that could impede traffic flow. Storage is practical for small items, and surprisingly, interior space is adequate even for taller individuals. The reviewer praises its fun factor, particularly the ability to perform handbrake turns, and its potential as an eco-friendly alternative to e-scooters or ride-sharing services. However, the lack of soundproofing, absence of air conditioning, and the potentially awkward left-hand drive configuration in the UK are noted drawbacks. Ultimately, the AMI is seen as a novel, cost-effective solution for specific urban mobility needs, though its practicality on faster roads is questionable. less
2021 Hyundai Kona Electric 39kWh Review - Should You Buy The Smaller Battery Car? UK 4K
The 2021 Hyundai Kona Electric, specifically the 39kWh model, is reviewed as a competent and enjoyable EV for daily use, particularly for town driving... more. The reviewer praises its nippy performance, quiet and comfortable ride, and a surprisingly accurate real-world range of approximately 159 miles, which is close to its claimed 180 miles. The interior quality is deemed solid, with practical storage solutions and a good array of technology, including heated seats and a heated steering wheel, even on the mid-spec model. However, the review highlights significant drawbacks: boot space and rear passenger room are limited compared to rivals, and the charging speed is a major letdown, with the 39kWh model topping out at 50kW, leading to lengthy 47-minute charges from 0-80%. The lane assist system is also noted as overly sensitive and irritating. Despite these issues, the Kona's reliability and five-year unlimited mileage warranty are strong selling points. For those prioritizing longer journeys, the larger 64kWh battery with faster 100kW charging is recommended, but for local driving with overnight charging, the 39kWh version is considered a good value, especially with current pricing and grants. less
A Weekend With The Tesla Model 3 - 2021 Long Range Review (Gridserve Electric Forecourt) UK 4K
The reviewer found the 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range to be a visually appealing and powerful vehicle, particularly praising its extended range (stated... more as 370 miles, with real-world usage around 250-260 miles before needing a charge) and rapid acceleration. The interior, especially the black and white leather option, was a significant highlight, contributing to a luxurious feel. However, the reviewer expressed a strong preference for physical buttons and a digital cockpit, finding the screen-centric controls, such as opening the glove box, to be fiddly and detracting from the driving experience. The lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto was also a notable disappointment. While acknowledging its strong performance and range, especially when compared to more expensive rivals like the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT, the reviewer ultimately felt the car was too clinical and lacked the driver engagement and 'soul' of traditional sports cars, describing it more as a gadget than a true driver's car. less
Is EV Always the Cheapest? Small Petrol Engine vs. Electric (Running Cost Comparison) Charging Costs
This video presents a practical, albeit unconventional, comparison of running costs between a 2015 Volkswagen Up! 1.0 petrol and a Nissan Leaf 62kWh e... morelectric vehicle. The reviewer explicitly states this experiment focuses on public charging costs, acknowledging that home charging is significantly cheaper. The petrol car averaged 10 pence per mile, costing £35 for 350 miles. In contrast, the Nissan Leaf, using only public Gridserve stations, incurred a higher cost of 10.3 pence per mile over 270 miles, totaling £26 for three charging sessions equating to 2 hours of charging time. The reviewer highlights range anxiety, the inconvenience of public charging, and the impact of cold weather and amenity usage (heating, heated seats) on EV range and efficiency. While the EV was marginally more expensive per mile in this specific scenario, the reviewer emphasizes that this method of charging is not the cheapest and that home charging would yield different results. The experiment serves as a valuable insight for those without home charging access. less
Battle of the Electric - Mini-E/BMW i3/Vauxhall Corsa-E (Charging/0-62/Interior) Full Review
This head-to-head review pits the Mini Electric, BMW i3, and Vauxhall Corsa-e against each other across several key categories. The Mini Electric exce... morels in exterior styling and interior quality, offering a premium feel and heritage design, though its practicality is hampered by its three-door configuration and limited boot space. The BMW i3 stands out for its futuristic interior, use of recycled materials, and strong technology offering, but its polarizing design and high road tax are noted drawbacks. The Vauxhall Corsa-e is praised for its practicality, boasting five doors, five seats, and good boot space, making it a strong all-rounder. In terms of performance, the i3 and Mini Electric offer engaging driving dynamics, while the Corsa-e is more focused on efficiency. Charging times and range vary, with the i3 generally performing well. Ultimately, the Corsa-e and i3 tied for the win with 15 points each, while the Mini Electric scored 12, though personal preference for the Mini's driving feel and brand appeal was strongly expressed by the reviewers. less
