In this week's episode of The Hook Turn Podcast, we discuss Tesla's latest iteration of the Roadster - their vapourware supercar. Can this one really be put on the road? We also cover Citroën's new interpretation of their iconic 2CV, reimagined for affordable EV motoring, and then take a different tack with the Porsche Mission S, which could come with a very unique Boxer (flat) style 8-cylinder engine.

We have criticised Jaguar a lot for their controversial (to say the least) rebranding. In this week's episode of The Hook Turn Podcast, we gladly eat humble pie following the reveal of the all new Type 01. We also cover an entirely new car brand, Ceer, from Saudi Arabia, and do the first ever Autotrader UK challenge, looking at people movers under £15k.

In this week's episode of The Hook Turn Podcast, we discuss whether Bentley's new Torcal is a Porsche in fancy clothing, or really something special befitting the Bentley brand. We also cover a very, very attractively priced new SUV from Xpeng that comes in both battery-electric (BEV) and relatively unique EREV (extended-range electric vehicle) flavours. Finally, we touch on whether MG's new U9 EV ute has the chops to take on the HiLux BEV with its 3.5 tonne braked towing capacity.
