Get behind the wheel of some of the hottest new cars with a no-obligation test drive

BMW X7

BMW’s latest flagship model - the X7 - is a luxury SUV with room for seven. It’s big, bold and very powerful. Few cars are as ‘in your face’ as the X7, so if you’re looking to make a statement this could be the car for you.

The X7 is big in stature and very big on performance, practicality and style. It is quite the all-rounder if you’re in the market for a premium SUV with enough space for a five-a-side footie team, plus subs (and their kit).

MINI Countryman

The Countryman is MINI’s largest and most versatile model with four-door practicality plus optional four-wheel drive. Now there is a plug-in hybrid version with stunning Shadow Edition trimmings, too.

The MINI Countryman is one of the most practical MINs around and allows the iconic brand to be experienced by those who just need a bit more car. There’s no disputing the fact that this MINI is packed with charm and character, fun to drive and brings EV-only motoring to the mix too.

Ford Puma

In the olden days, if you wanted a small family car, you’d buy something like a Volkswagen Golf or a Ford Fiesta. Y’know? A hatchback.

But those days are gone. Nowadays, everyone wants a slice of the 4x4 action – and that’s seen SUVs appear on the production lines of just about every manufacturer.

So, if you want a Ford Fiesta that’s also an SUV, the Ford Puma could be perfect. The Puma is a likable car that makes driving enjoyable in a modest, unassuming way.

Sharp handling and well-refined engines make it a decent contender. And, in terms of practicality, it's a match for most of its foes, although some offer more rear-seat space.

The Puma has so much going for it, it’s quirky, cute, and good-looking with a decent amount of sportiness. So, if having fun while driving is essential to you, there's little reason to look elsewhere.
