Kingsley Range Rover KSR 2025 review

4 days ago | motoringresearch.com | Tim Pitt

Out goes the low-range gearbox, in come cupholders and CarPlay. Luxury SUV customers – the kind of folk who might buy a Bentley Bentayga or Rolls-Royce Cullinan – know what their priorities are. “People don’t take these vehicles off-road,” explains Martin Gisborne, sales director at Kingsley Re-Engineered.

Dads’ taxis © Ford Father’s Day has come around again – and what better excuse to explore the archives for cars your dad drove, along with those he dreamed about?

Morgan Supersport 2025 review

2 weeks ago | motoringresearch.com | Tim Pitt

Question: what do Donald Trump, the Morgan Supersport and Britain’s best-selling brand of yeast extract have in common? Answer: they all polarise people, like taking a pick-axe to the pie chart of public opinion. So, you will either love how the Supersport looks or you absolutely won’t. Sitting on the fence is seemingly not an option. Granted, that conclusion stems from comments posted on social media – hardly a nuanced forum for any debate.

Honda Civic Type R bows out with £58,000 Ultimate Edition

3 weeks ago | motoringresearch.com | John Redfern

Time is running out for the Honda Civic Type R, as the raucous hot hatchback makes its exit from the UK and Europe. To help soften the blow for enthusiasts, Honda has announced a run-out special: the Civic Type R Ultimate Edition. Just 40 examples will be produced for the European market, with only 10 destined for Honda fans in the UK. Given the level of acclaim generated by the current Type R when it was launched in 2022, demand for the Ultimate Edition is likely to far outstrip supply.
Boreham Motorworks Ford Escort Mk1 68 Edition review

3 weeks ago | motoringresearch.com | Tim Pitt

If this was a pitch on Dragons’ Den, it’s hard to imagine anyone agreeing to invest. “We’re bringing back the Ford Escort after 25 years of absence.” (Deborah Meaden arches an eyebrow.) “It won’t be legal to drive on the road.” (Stephen Bartlett slowly shakes his head). “And it will cost upwards of £300,000.” (Peter Jones declares himself out). Let’s be clear: this isn’t a restomod or a period-correct restoration.

The full story of the Dodge Charger Daytona © Stellantis Dodge has officially added the Charger Daytona Sedan to its lineup. Revealed at the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA) Spring Rally in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, the four-door model arrives alongside the 2026 model year Charger Daytona. The use of the Daytona name for such an era-defining electric muscle car is significant, given its importance in Charger history.
Mazda CX-80 PHEV 2025 review

3 weeks ago | motoringresearch.com | Tim Pitt

If you had contemplated buying a Mazda CX-60 SUV, but wanted to carry seven people, the new CX-80 could be the answer. With an upmarket image, it’s a more affordable challenger to vehicles such as the Land Rover Discovery and Audi Q7. Despite its considerable size, the CX-80 is not the largest SUV made by Mazda. The Australian and North American markets receive the enormous CX-90, but sensibly it was deemed too big for European sensibilities.
UK is the worst-hit country in Europe for car clocking

3 weeks ago | motoringresearch.com | John Redfern

New research has found that car clocking is leading UK consumers to overpay a staggering amount for used vehicles each year. Clocking, also known as odometer tampering or mileage fraud, is when the recorded mileage of a car is illegally adjusted downwards. Digital odometers have created new ways for mileages to be fraudulently adjusted. And restricted mileage agreements on car finance packages are likely to increase the temptation.
