New underpinnings promise improved comfort and handling VAUXHALL is now part of the Stellantis empire, with the fruits of the new ownership already showing in the latest Corsa - Britain's best-selling car. But Vauxhall hasn't sacrificed fun, and the brand is tuning the steering, brakes and suspension to suit British drivers.

IT has taken quite a while, but Mercedes has finally come up with an answer to the booming success of the Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan. A year after the launch of the second-generation GLS, the company is upgrading its largest SUV with Maybach prestige to create this: the Mercedes-Maybach GLS. This luxury SUV distances itself from the regular seven-seat GLS by replacing its three-seat rear bench with two large lounge-like armchairs in the back - if you go for a top-spec First Class model like this.

LAUNCHING alongside the EQC SUV and the upcoming EQS limousine is an electric Mercedes for the mainstream: the EQA. The EQA is not built on a dedicated electric platform, but instead makes use of a modified version of the MFA platform that underpins the current GLA.
