Driving

Few SUVs look quite as comfortable wearing mud as the Land Rover Defender 90. It is tall, broad-shouldered, heavy, permanently all-wheel drive, and shaped with all the aerodynamic subtlety of a luxury garden shed. We probably do not need a wind tunnel to guess that…

A Toyota Hilux long range fuel tank is one of those upgrades that may sound unnecessary until we find ourselves hundreds of kilometres from the nearest reliable fuel station. Suddenly, carrying extra diesel or petrol is not merely convenient—it can completely change how confidently we…

The BMW M2 is one of those cars that makes numbers feel almost secondary. Yes, we can talk about horsepower, acceleration times, and maximum speed all day, but the real attraction is how violently—and enthusiastically—the little BMW gathers speed. So, how fast is a BMW…

The Toyota Hilux has never pretended to be a lightweight city runabout. It is built to carry tools, haul trailers, tackle dirt roads, survive job sites, and keep moving when softer vehicles would rather turn around. Yet even buyers shopping for one of the world's…

Fuel economy can make or break the ownership experience of a compact SUV. A vehicle might have all-wheel drive, comfortable seats, useful ground clearance, and enough technology to resemble a rolling laptop, but if it drinks fuel like there is a hole in the tank,…

The BMW M2 MPG figure probably isn't the first specification enthusiasts look at when shopping for BMW's smallest full-fat M car. Horsepower? Absolutely. Zero-to-60 times? Of course.

The Mazda CX-9 fuel economy story is more interesting than a simple MPG number suggests. This is a three-row SUV with space for the family, a turbocharged engine, and—on many versions—all-wheel drive. That sounds like the recipe for frequent fuel-station visits. Yet the CX-9 manages…

The Nissan X-Trail hybrid fuel consumption figures look attractive on paper, but how efficient is this family SUV once we leave the laboratory and join real traffic? That is the question that matters. The latest X-Trail e-POWER takes an unusual route to hybrid efficiency. Unlike…

The Alfa Romeo Tonale driving modes are more than a few letters surrounding a rotary selector. They are part of Alfa Romeo's long-running DNA philosophy: give the driver one simple control that changes how the vehicle responds, rather than burying dozens of settings inside touchscreen…

The Alfa Romeo Tonale has always tried to do something a little different. It wants to be a practical compact SUV without feeling anonymous, efficient without becoming dull, and distinctly Italian without demanding sports-car levels of fuel spending. That makes Alfa Romeo Tonale fuel consumption…
