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

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?

Paid a visit to @GAC_MOTOR’s central R&D Centre to get a glimpse at what will be coming to Europe later this year, and some more secret stuff that’s in the pipeline.

This is the Aion V, which will be the first model that GAC will introduce to Europe. It uses a 75.3kWh battery and gets a 521km WLTP range. Great rear passenger space too. Full review coming soon to CompleteCar.ie

I’ve the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer on test this week. It’s a big step up from the ID.4 in terms of interior space, quality and refinement. Adaptive damping has fabulously comfortable levels. Anything you want to know about this car?

I had the new, electric MINI Cooper SE on test last week. It’s effectively a sporty coupe, which some will use to justify the too-firm ride and appalling practicality. On the flip side it’s really agile, I like the new design and most of the interior. Anything you want to know?

I’ve the new BMW M5 on test this week and it’s quite the machine: 727hp, 1,000Nm, PHEV and bizarrely, a bargain in Ireland at just €137,055. It’s proper M car though I wish the V8 was more audible in the cabin. Any questions?

Driving the Hyundai Santa Fe this week. Really like the design, it’s such a shift from previous generations. Hyundai’s design team have been on a roll lately.
