Car Deal of the Day: Stand out with the Genesis GV70 SUV for just £380 a month
Frugal diesel power
Just £379.20 a month
Think an Audi Q5, a BMW X3 or even a Volvo XC60 is just a bit too common? The Genesis GV70 is a refreshingly left-field choice when it comes to premium SUVs. It more than matches those cars for tech and premium feel, plus it even has Bentley-like styling – almost.
Right now through the Auto Express Find A Car service, the posh SUV is available for just £379.20 a month. This deal, from Genesis Motor UK itself, requires a modest £4,550.24 initial payment to get the ball rolling. This 48-month agreement has a 5,000-miles-a-year cap, but revising this to 8,000 will only cost an extra £13.20 a month. That's a steal. Advertisement - Article continues below
It really is remarkable value for money when you realise just what you're getting. This deal nets you a GV70 in Premium spec, which features electric front memory seats, a large 14.5-inch touchscreen, 19-inch wheels and a whole host of safety equipment. There's even enough Bentley-like design flourishes to make the neighbours ask questions.
Under the bonnet is a rare thing these days – a diesel engine. The 2.2-litre packs 192bhp and it's a torquey unit, giving excellent acceleration. It's paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive, and, as it's a diesel, it's frugal with around 39mpg claimed.
To drive, the GV70 wafts along very nicely and has a genuinely upmarket feel. That goes for the interior too, as the GV70 hides its Hyundai family DNA well and feels better put together than an equivalent BMW or Mercedes.

More people are paying tax on their savings. Here's why
About 300,000 more people are now liable to pay tax on their savings interest compared to five years ago, with the number rising from 3.06 million in 2020-21 to 3.35 million this year. These figures, obtained by Nottingham Building Society, highlight a "growing and often hidden tax burden on ordinary savers", primarily driven by fiscal drag due to frozen tax thresholds and inflation. While government rules allow for tax-free personal allowances and a "savers' allowance" of up to £5,000 interest, experts say the system is complex and emphasise the value of tax-efficient Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs). Nottingham Building Society is urging the government to simplify and strengthen cash ISAs, rather than introducing new barriers. A Treasury spokesperson affirmed the government's commitment to protecting the £20,000 tax-free yearly ISA limit, ensuring most people continue to pay no tax on their savings.

PIP review lead gives update on planned changes after Labour U-turn
Further details about Labour's review of Personal Independence Payments (PIP) have been revealed after the government's climbdown over changes to the health-linked benefit in June. The review will be led by veteran Labour MP Sir Stephen Timms, who shared more information about how he will approach the issue. Currently claimed by 3.7 million people, PIP is designed to help with extra costs incurred by living with an illness or disability. Labour's proposals to tweak the assessment criteria for the benefit to effectively make it harder to claim was met with fierce opposition from campaign groups and disabled people's organisations. Ministers backed down on the plans in late June after over 100 Labour MPs threatened to vote against the government on the measures. The concession was announced by Sir Stephen in the middle of the debate on the legislation. One of the key criticisms against the plans was over the government's lack of consultation with disabled people over the changes, leading to accusations that the legislation had been 'rushed'. Sir Stephen has now confirmed that his review of PIP will be co-produced with disabled people and disability organisations. Speaking to the BBC's Access All podcast, he said: 'We are going to be taking a lead from disabled people and representatives of disabled people in this work over the next year or so.' However, the social security minister added this will likely only comprise a 'fairly small group of ten people,' with the reviews recommendations likely then opened to a public consultation after its conclusion in Autumn 2026. Sir Stephen also said that the review is 'not intended to deliver cuts,' but that it 'will certainly have to operate within the current projections for what spending is going to be.' Labour ministers had originally planned to save around £5 billion from its planned changes to welfare spending, with £4.1 billion of this being from changes to PIP. With changes to the benefit no longer on the table, questions have been raised around how Labour may look to find these savings elsewhere. Reflecting on the government's forced U-turn over the changes, Sir Stephen said: 'I think there's been a lot of relief that that initial proposal is not being taken forward. I think people are pleased about that, and I understand why. 'What we've seen is an example of democracy doing what it's supposed to do: people express their concern to their MPs, the MPs express those concerns in parliament, and the policy's changed as a result.' 'I think that's a positive example that we need now to build on in taking forward this review.'

Fiat and Abarth electric cars plummet in price as brand reintroduces ‘E-Grant'
Fiat has given up waiting for the Government to confirm that its EVs are eligible for the new Electric Car Grant. Instead, it has reintroduced its 'E-Grant' to offer customers £1,500 off the price of the popular 500e city car and 600e small SUV, plus their sportier Abarth counterparts. Advertisement - Article continues below Fiat first offered the E-Grant back in 2023, following the UK Government's decision to axe the old Plug-in Car Grant (PiCG) the year before. It's also available now in conjunction with other retail offers, such as 0 per cent APR finance deals for the 500e. However if you want to see an even more impressive deal on the Fiat 500e, used examples are available right now for close to £10,000 through the Auto Express Find a Car service. The brand's UK managing director, Giuseppe Cava, said: 'Fiat is fully committed to making electrified driving more accessible and by reintroducing our E-Grant for our fully electric models from Fiat and Abarth, we are trying to support customers in their transition to fully electric driving.' Thanks to the £1,500 discount, the Fiat 500e now starts from £25,035, and there's a choice of regular hatchback or soft-top cabrio bodystyles. However entry-level models only have a 118-mile range thanks to a 24kWh battery. Upgrading to a 42kWh battery, which ups the range to 199 miles, costs an extra £3,000. The Abarth 500e, which now starts from £29,985 thanks to the E-Grant, comes with the larger battery pack as standard, plus a more powerful 152bhp e-motor, which drives the front wheels and propels it from 0-62mph in seven seconds. Meanwhile the Fiat 600e now starts at £30,035, and offers 250 miles of range from its 54kWh battery. The Abarth 600e, now available from £36,985, is the performance brand's most powerful road car to date with 278bhp, and features a heavily tuned chassis with upgraded brakes and a mechanical limited-slip differential.
