Toyota has updated its smallest car, the Aygo X, with a raft of changes for 2026. The most significant development is the introduction of hybrid power for the first time in the model's history - and indeed the first time in the segment according to Toyota. Alongside this, the Aygo X receives a refreshed design inside and out, plus a new GR Sport variant with sportier styling and chassis tuning. What's new under the bonnet of the Aygo X?

Ford has launched a new incentive for Irish customers considering the switch to electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), aiming to remove some of the most common obstacles to EV ownership. Called the 'Ford Power Promise,' the initiative includes a free home charger, free servicing, free rescue and a strong warranty. It is available immediately across Ford's electric and plug-in hybrid passenger range. Can you go into a little more detail?

Alpine promised that its next new EV, the A390 unveiled today, would be as dramatic to look at as the show car that previewed it, and it has undoubtedly delivered on that. While some will refer to the A390 as an SUV, it looks like no other on the road, putting paid to Alpine's 'fastback' label for the new car. And if the driving experience lives up to even half of what the French outfit is claiming, it should be something very special indeed. So the Alpine A390 is a fast EV?

In an unusual move, BMW has given its new M2 CS coupe its first public outing before telling anyone what's under the bonnet. And what's more, we can't disclose the technical specifications of the new limited-build sports car until Tuesday night... The design of the 2025 BMW M2 CS was unveiled at Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the shores of Lake Como today and even in a restrained grey colour it looks spectacular. What can we see?

I’ve the new Honda HR-V hybrid on test at the moment and initially thought it expensive (at over €41k), but it justifies that somewhat with its high quality and polish. I don’t love the hybrid system but it all works very well and is a pleasant car overall. Any questions on it? https://t.co/s6iyRJMJzB
First test car of 2025 for me was the new MG ZS, a hybrid crossover replacing an electric predecessor. I reckon it looks much smarter inside and out than before. It drives ok, the hybrid system is ok and pretty efficient and while it feels ‘cheaper’ than it looks, it’s a bargain https://t.co/ybHtdPebYB
