Julie Marshall drives the futuristic-looking Toyota C-HR plug-in hybridIf you want a car that stands out from the pack then the C-HR, Toyota’s stylish small SUV really does fit the bill. It has sharp angles and creases, a futuristic design and a striking paint job (especially in the mid-spec GR Sport trim we tested). Toyota dubs it a “concept car for the road” and I can see why they say that. Judge Dredd would feel right at home.

By Julie MarshallI applaud BVSD students for organizing the Denver climate rally guided by science and propelled by a sense of urgency. High school senior Emma Weber said it well: “There are so many areas of society that need to adapt in terms of climate change.”One area that’s stuck in a barren tar pit is the ongoing, unfounded call to kill predators: mountain lions, wolves, bears, bobcats and more.

If Albert the Romanian rescue dog was a cat he would have used up two of his nine lives. His first brush with death was early last year when he was knocked down and badly injured while roaming the streets of Brasov in Romania. He came to the attention of EverMore Dog Rescue, a UK-based charity working to rehome Romanian street dogs. He was nursed back to health by one of EverMore’s Romanian charity partners but one of his front legs was so badly damaged it had to be amputated.

Julie Marshall has mixed feelings about Volvo’s electric EX30Electric cars are getting better. They are coming down in price and have extended ranges which makes them a practical proposition for real-world driving. The Volvo EX30 is one of the best with prices starting at £32,850 and a potential range of up to 295 miles on a full charge. It is the smallest Volvo out there but still offers decent room for five with a practical boot big enough for a family shop or holiday luggage.

Julie Marshall goes all-electric with the CUPRA TavascanCUPRA markets the Tavascan as its first electric SUV although it doesn’t conform to many of the styling cues you’d expect from an SUV. Although it’s large it is beautifully streamlined, not all rugged and looks more like a jacked-up coupe than anything else. As such, it is probably going to appeal to the well-heeled younger end of the car-buying public.
