Looking to order a DS No.8 for January!

Hi,

I intend to order a fully electric car for January 2026 and top of my list is the DS No. 8. At the moment I cannot view it in Ireland but as I travel a lot on the Continent, I would be able to view it there. Do you know where I could see it? I am also going to the car show in September in Munich but don't know if it will be on view.

Why didn't you like the Jaecoo 7 SHS?

Hello,

I would like to buy a Jaecoo 7 SHS, but after I read your review, I am a bit confused.

You wrote: "The SHS version of the Jaecoo will tempt some, with its efficiency and value, but those customers will be doomed to crushing disappointment."

Why is that? Sorry to ask but you are the first who wrote this type of opinion.

Best regards

MGS5 or one of these Cupras?

Thank you for your very helpful review of the MGS5 SUV. I'm looking to buy our first EV for January 2026, and am impressed with the MG. I also looked at the Cupra Born but cannot find online any comprehensive comparison between the two. Could you advise please?

Also, the Cupra sales guy told me the Tavascan discount (replicating the SEAI grant) may continue to 2026, bringing its price in under €40k. If that is right, my budget might reach it. Can you advise the best choice between these three cars?

I'm leaning toward to MG, particularly with its seven-year warranty, but the Cupras have nice screens tilted toward the driver and the interiors are very nice.

Thank you

Is there a new Skoda Karoq on the way?

Dear CompleteCar team,

I was wondering will there be a next generation Skoda Karoq in petrol, diesel and PHEV variants? While the Elroq has replaced an SUV of that size for Skoda, it does not have a rival for all the other SUVs of that size apart from the current Karoq offering, which I feel needs a fresh look. If nothing else to take on the new front look of the Elroq and Enyaq.

Any information would be welcome. Great insightful website. Keep up the good work.
