Family cars were a simple thing in the past. If you had more than two children, elderly parents, or a habit of transporting half the neighbourhood, you bought an MPV and accepted your fate. Then SUVs arrived, and suddenly everyone wanted height, presence and the illusion of adventure, even if the most challenging terrain was the basement carpark at Marina Bay Sands.

Audi has spent the last few years trying to make its model naming system sound clever, which is usually the first sign that things are about to get confusing.

At just ...

Skoda will tell you it’s an electric alternative to the Karoq, but ...

The old-school overlanding formula for cars was simple enough: if it made you work, it must be authentic. Not with the new Defender Trophy though, as we discovered. There was a time when a proper off-roader had to feel faintly intimidating to earn your respect. It needed a touch of gruffness, a bit of heaviness in the controls, and the sort of mechanical stubbornness that reminded you adventure was never meant ...
