2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Adventure Review
We don’t drive new diesels much any more, on account of increasingly stringent emissions regs overseas. And motive power tends to be dictated by emissions, as it should be. Not in America of course where big oil dictates what they do. Every other car sold in the UK a decade or so back was a diesel, and then came the Dieselgate scandal.

The new MG S5 feels like a high-rise MG4 with extra space and LFP battery tech. What’s not to like? MG’s new MGS5 EV slotted quietly into the firm’s growing electric portfolio recently.
