Reviews

2018 Toyota Prius Range Review

The sleek Toyota Prius cuts small-car fuel bills almost in half, by teaming a petrol engine with an electric motor. This new Prius corners well, and auto braking is standard.

On-road handling and stability are strong points for the Mitsubishi Pajero compared with other dual-range 4WD wagons, and yet it is still good off road. All Pajeros seat seven.

The Wrangler can trace a lineage back to the brilliantly effective original Jeep that saw service in World War II. It is comfortably the most off-road capable vehicle Jeep makes.

The mid-size Skoda Octavia has a regal look, and keen, frugal engines. All Octavias have auto-braking. The Octavia RS is like a VW Golf GTI in sensible clothes.
