Ask Us Anything

I am interested in purchasing a Kia Sorento 1.6 PHEV, 2025 or 2026 model year. I am getting conflicting info regarding its towing capabilities of braked trailers.

Garages are claiming 1,700kg whereas the book says 1,010kg. I believe the UK cars are up to 1,700kg from what I can ascertain.

Can you possibly clarify the situation for me please as I don’t want to make a mistake? I wish to tow a box van trailer with a very light load making the total weight of approx. no more than 1,200kg. I need the four-wheel drive for soft ground towing (fields).

Hi there,

If I import an extended-cab Toyota Hilux from the North to the South and take out the back seats and safety belts, will I get away with the low rate of duty?

Thank you

Does the Škoda Peaq Sportline model have a lowered, stiffer suspension than the standard models?

Hi,

We would like to move into our first electric vehicle and have a shortlist of three cars: the Skoda Elroq, the VW ID.4 and the Volvo EX40 (or EX30). We currently drive a 2017 Volvo XC60. We are a family of four with two teenage girls and we mainly use our car for running around the city with the occasional family holiday road trip of 4-5 hours.

Do you have a preference or any information that can assist us to make a choice? We would also be interested in your thoughts on buying new vs second-hand EVs.
