With a price starting at โ‚ฌ41,995 for the large 84kWh battery and 570km range. Is the updated IONIQ 5 from Hyundai one of the best "bang for buck" EVs available at the moment? Top trim is โ‚ฌ48,995 and still gives you all the bits some others have removed ๐Ÿ˜‰

This week, I was mostly driving the new bZ from Toyota Ireland. I drove the top trim in Spain last year so it was nice to drive the standard (Sport) trim this time. Up to 567km and priced โ‚ฌ42,160 will be tempting for a lot of people.

My 1st look at the new EX60 from Volvo Car Ireland is now live. Some great competition to the BMW iX3.

I recently went "Coast to Coast" so see what the real world range in winter months is with the Macan from Porsche Ireland. 22" wheels look great but how much did they hinder....

Got to drive the Kia EV5 today at the Irish launch. With the popularity of the Sportage, this is a great size electric SUV for Kia to add to their lineup.

Like waiting on a bus, then 4 come along. The electric C SUV space is getting interesting with another entrant, this time from Leapmotor the B10. I have a look around and drive this afternoon in France.

Big Boot โœ… 635 LTRs
Big Comfort โœ… Advanced suspension and seats.
