The GSE badge returns.

We've been putting the new Vauxhall Mokka GSE through its paces on the road and at Croft Circuit to find out if it's more than just a quicker electric SUV.

Full review coming soon on the AutoEV YouTube channel.

Do you think the GSE badge still means something?

Charlie and Simon took the trip from Goodwood to Croft circuits to take a look at the electric successors to the Vauxhall hot hatches. Thanks for the invite and the very comfortable Grandland for the 650 mile round trip.

R5 Be**er?

MG has unveiled the Go Concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, giving us our first look at the all-electric MG 2, due to arrive in 2027.

At around 4 metres long, it's set to rival the Renault 5 and Mini Cooper Electric, with MG positioning it as a fun, stylish supermini rather than a budget EV.

The concept's sporty styling is said to be very close to the production car, making this one worth watching.

Could the MG Go be the Renault 5's biggest rival?

Bright, bold... and surprisingly brilliant?

The new BYD Dolphin Surf certainly stands out, especially in this eye-catching lime green. But after spending 7 days living with it, Simon wanted to find out whether it's simply a great-looking city EV—or one of the best affordable electric cars on sale.

Could this be the small EV that finally gets the balance right?

Would you choose the BYD Dolphin Surf over the Renault 5 or Citroën ë-C3?

From the 626 to the 6 to the *new* 6e.

FIAT has revealed the first official image of the new Grizzly and Grizzly Fastback, two C-segment SUVs set to arrive in Europe in H2 2026.

Built on EV powertrains, the duo targets one of Europe's most competitive segments. The challenge? Rivals such as the Dacia Bigster and Nissan Qashqai already dominate the affordable family SUV market.

However, FIAT's formula of compact dimensions, class-leading practicality, multiple powertrain options and aggressive pricing could make Grizzly a strong contender for value-focused buyers looking beyond traditional SUV brands.

If FIAT can replicate the value proposition of the Grande Panda in a larger package, the Grizzly family could become one of the brand's most important launches in years.

Could this be the affordable EV we've all been waiting for?

The new Citroën ë-C3 Urban promises comfort, practicality and electric motoring for less than many expected. But does it have what it takes to become one of the UK's most popular small EVs?

Simon has been behind the wheel for our First Verdict review, putting Citroën's budget-friendly electric supermini through its paces to find out if it really delivers where it matters most.

✅ Comfortable ride
✅ Spacious interior
✅ Affordable price tag
✅ Designed for everyday driving

But is it the best small EV you can buy?

The Peugeot e-408 might be one of the best-looking EVs on sale right now...

Charlie’s driven Peugeot’s new electric fastback for AutoEV’s ‘First Verdict’ review — and while the styling, refinement and motorway comfort impress, questions remain over range and value.

210bhp. 58kWh battery. Sharp design. Relaxed character.

Citroën have officially confirmed the 2CV will be back as an entry level EV. What do you think of our design imagination. Will we see a homage to the corrugated panels from the original? Can't wait - then we have a review of the ëC3 Urban coming next week.
