@AutoExpress News Reporter 🚗 Award-winning motoring journalist who has shamefully never owned a car

[Ellis Hyde @EllisDrives]

This time last week I’d never ridden a motorcycle, but I’ve now got full A motorcycle licence!!! Huge thank you to the whole team at BMW Rider Training in Royston for getting me on two wheels! And teaching me how to not fall off, obviously

I feel genuinely sad to report that the @Jeep Wrangler is being axed in Europe - this thing really was a life-size Tonka toy, and I loved it!

As bad experiences go, spending 19hrs at a motorway services is up there. This MG IM6 wouldn’t start after falsely registering that it was plugged in (when it wasn’t). Three lots of recovery and even that couldn’t fix it! In the end, a train to collect my 23yo TT to save the day!

The Auto Express 2025 Car of the Year is… the Skoda Elroq!

“Topping off a fantastic year for Skoda, the Elroq is our choice as the best new car on sale. Value for money, a hugely practical interior and a smooth, powerful electric powertrain were enough to get it ahead. It’s close to faultless as a modern family car.”

The Skoda Enyaq has a new look, but is it better elsewhere?

We like:
✅ Very comfortable and refined
✅ Spacious interior with ‘Simply Clever’ features

We don't like:
❌ Not the most efficient during testing
❌ Elroq is nearly as practical, and considerably less expensive
