The NEW & IMPROVED – Cupra Born VZ

Cupra born VZ

We were genuinely excited when we were invited to drive the new Born a few years back. And whilst we did like it, we failed to fall in love with it. It was a good car, just not the great one we felt it needed to be to wear the Cupra badge. Even the more powerful e-Boost never really sexed up our Sangria. Can it fulfil the Born’s Legacy?

Skywell

Skywell BE11 - Even being average would be better than this.

Another new entrant into the UK’s new car market is Skywell, and their first offering seems to be what everyone is after, a family-sized, all-electric SUV. But does the new BE11 really offer something special to make you choose this over a Renault, Kia or Volkswagen? As always, the way to find out is to watch the road test review that actual car buyers trust when it comes to choosing their next electric car – the AutoEV one.

Renault4

Sneak Peek - Renault 4 - A new retrofuturistic icon.

After just offering the Zoe for 10 years, Renault have properly stepped up a gear when it comes to their new range of electric cars. After the brilliant Megane hatchback, there was the family orientated Scenic, another brilliant offering. Then they turned the clock back with the sensational looking new 5, their offering in the B-segment supermini class. And now we have what is, arguably, the most important car of them all – the new Renault 4. Why is this the important one? Because the B-segment crossover market is huge in Europe, and so its this space that is bursting with new offerings, many of which are electric. So this has to be good.
Hyundai-Inster

Hyundai Inster - Hyundai does it again! Full UK review!

Tired of big, heavy, inefficient, SUVs? Want something a little bit smaller with a bit of character, but still need loads of space? Say hello to the Inster from Hyundai, a small, all electric, A-segment city car with the interior from the Tardis. Its stylish, with incredible packaging and well equipped, and its from one of the world’s best electric car manufacturers. So where’s the catch?

MG Cyberster v's Porsche 718 Boxster

MG Cyberster v’s
Porsche 718 Boxster

Are we really doing twin test between the new MG Cyberster and the Porsche Boxster? EV versus icon? Well if anyone can do sports cars, it has to be said, these two manufacturers certainly have quit the repertoire between them. But can the new power generation win over the sports car of our generation? Only one EV channel would be brave (foolish?) enough to put this two head-to-head…..so we did.

Thankyou for the many excellent EV reviews throughout the year. Best EV channel on YouTube. As someone still waiting for my first EV to be delivered (Audi Q4 due end of March) it’s been fascinating seeing the evolution of EV’s during 2021. Thanks again - I’ll continue to subscribe and watch all the videos.

I think you are the best car reviewer out there at the moment. Very informative, honest and take every car on its own merits. Keep up the brilliant work. 😀👍

Craig Smithson

And our award for the best EV channel for 2021 goes to…AutoEV. A great job guys and although he might only be 5’7” 5’8” this channel is definitely a sleeping giant and, for sure, one day soon it will get the viewing figures it deserves!

Runner Ball

Many thanks for the brilliant work! Watching a Scotsman chatter about EVs is a delicious antidote to planetary gloominess. And thank you for taking the time to respond to comments in a pleasant and intelligent way. That's what best defines this channel : a pleasant and intelligent tone.

Great channel. Keep up the good work in 2022. Picking up my EV6 on Thursday and so happy it got rated 1st. I watched your review of it a while ago and it helped make my mind up. Thx

Paul Devins

If you keep up this frequency of videos I might as well cancel Netflix and just stick with YouTube premium 👍
