2022 Renault Koleos Summary

There’s no shortage of models to choose from if you’re after a family-friendly medium SUV. The problem is, it might take a while to get your hands on one, with lengthy wait times for some of the best sellers due to current delays caused by a global parts shortage and supply chain dramas.

But there are a handful of models with healthy stock in dealerships right now and available for immediate delivery. One of them is the Renault Koleos

It's coming to the end of its life cycle and lacks the shine of some of its fresher rivals, but it’s a lot of car for the money. 

We spent a week with the limited edition Koleos Black Edition to see if it is worth a trip to your Renault dealer, or if you should sit tight and wait for one of its newer rivals.

2023 Suzuki S-Cross Summary

Big news on the smaller SUV front. Suzuki has launched an “all-new” S-Cross.

But despite what some of the clever photography might have you think, this MY23 update is actually the second facelift of the decade-old original, bringing a redesigned front and rear end as well as a minor dashboard update, with little changing underneath.

A bit more than what the current Mitsubishi ASX received back in 2019 but far less than what the latest Ford Ranger espouses, then.

That all said, we came away surprised from what amounted to a reunion with a quiet old acquaintance that’s long lurked away from the crossover spotlight.

Is this year the S-Cross’ time to shine?
