Two motoring releases are taking place in New Zealand this week: the first was the facelifted Citroën C3, a B-segment car that we really rate. The C3, which was first released in 2016, gets a slightly more aggressive nose, tying it in with larger models in the Citroën range. We suspect it’ll drive largely the […]

Ford is finally getting round to renewing its B- and C-segment car line-up. The new B479 Fiesta is already on the market, and now it’s the turn of the Focus, going into its fourth generation.

January 7, 2013/10.21
Peugeot has announced its 2008 crossover, a B-segment urban vehicle with off-road pretensions. As with most crossovers, it’s not the ideal vehicle with which to go mud-plugging, but it has the look of toughness and a raised ride height that buyers of the genre like. Surprisingly, they are doing well in many countries, including […]
