2025 Mazda CX-80 SP Hybrid Review
The CX-80 joins the Mazda ranks as another seven-seat option for buyers of large SUVs. How is it different to the three-row CX-90 though? Mazda has bulked up its large SUV offerings with the CX-80.

2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 4Matic Cabriolet Review
It’s usually assured that shortly after Mercedes-Benz launches a new coupe, the convertible will follow. And so it is with the new CLE. We were driving the sleek-looking four-seater coupe a few months ago and now we have the cabriolet. And just in time to harvest some Vitamin D too, the sun out during our time with the drop top.
