Any Business Motoring reader who has been driving for a number of years will agree that the pace of technological change in the modern vehicle has never been so rapid. It was not so many years ago that autonomous emergency braking was a new and magic safety aid that was only available on more expensive cars.

Unlike cars, van models tend to last a very long time. The Renault Master has been around close to half a century, as the largest model in the French brand’s light commercial van (LCV) range. In that time it has sold more than three million, through a mere three generations. Now in 2025 we get a fourth-generation Master, on offer with a choice of diesel or fully electric powertrains and also available as the Interstar from sister brand Nissan.

The Toyota RAV4 this week added another trophy to the many the SUV has secured over its 30-year history, when it was named the best plug-in hybrid at the awards run by automotive sales platform AutoTrader. Not so long ago, Toyota might have considered such an award a nice-to-have, but not worth worrying about nearly as much as other more important gongs – but no longer.

Those who remember the 1970s and ’80s will also recall the very cheap new cars that came into the UK from the Communist countries of Eastern Europe and Russia, wearing nameplates such as Lada and FSO. For most the only attraction was the price and very few survive today. One former Communist maker, however, has not only survived but flourished.

Enjoyed watching #F1 this season, which a few years ago I couldn't imagine saying. Big part of it, the @SkySportsF1 coverage - so deeply embedded, across every aspect. For me who’s been on the inside of a significant series, it's like being part of it while watching it on TV...
