It’s electric. The Vauxhall Vivaro-e is one of three new electric vans, along with the Citroen e-Dispatch and Peugeot e-Expert, which share the same running gear. All three share similar prices and specification and boast longer ranges and better prices than most rivals, notably from Germany.
For the first time the Rangie comes with seven seats and also available as a plug-in hybrid - a full EV is coming - to combat the onslaught of upmarket, large SUV rivals. And the luxury heavyweight comes with a heavyweight price, going on sale from £94,000The new Range Rover is on sale now, priced from £94,400.
Maybe a bit of a surprise is that the X3 in petrol, diesel and hybrid form, is BMW’s best-selling car. The electric version has been added to the existing hardware so outwardly little looks different from the rest of the range which was recently facelifted. What is different is the 282bp, 74kW electric motor which is not the biggest around but it does have a WLTP range of 285 mile
Being different is not a bad thing as it grabs attention and as SUVs go, the Velar has a sleek, sporty look to it. Put it next to and Evoque and a Range Rover Sport and you will immediately spot the differences.

The P300e is already in strong demand from SME customers; fleet managers for its compelling financial package and end-users for its refined driving experience, luxurious cabin, hi-tech functions and cutting-edge exterior.
The latest Sorento, launched features sharper lines, high-tech details, and elongated proportions while inside the cabin introduces premium-quality materials, latest infotainment technologies, and a new design. It comes with a larger body to maximise cargo and luggage space - and it has seven seats.
