It’s our second Tucson — a diesel manual and a petrol automatic. I can only confirm that our next one in 2027 will be 99.9% a Tucson again. Gorgeous, pleasant, economical and sporty. Top choice.

Nissan Primastar Bus

The Nissan Primastar is a sensible people-mover that puts practicality and flexible seating ahead of flash, making it the go-to for tradespeople, shuttle duties or large families who need space without fuss. It’s unpretentious on the road and easy to live with — not the car to win style points, but the one that earns them every time you need to load up and go.
