As well as managing the news content thatu2019s published on CARu2019s website, Jake also helps to build the news-based content in the Agenda section of CARu2019s monthly print magazine u2013 planning how new cars, big industry stories and exclusive scoops can be crafted into the pages of CAR.nnnnJake has been a car enthusiast even before he could walk, pointing out car models on the street while still in a pushchair. Growing up, Jake has always been around cars, attending motor shows with family, amassing a vast collection of toy cars u2013 even managing to steer some his parentsu2019 cars and drive a Ferrari 355 (on private land!) before he was legally allowed to have a licence.nnnnHe knew from being a teenager that he wanted to write about cars and the automotive industry, so he went to Sunderland University (the same university CAR contributor Chris Chilton went to, among other members of the automotive media) to study journalism through an NCTJ-accredited course from 2011. During his final year in 2014, he even created his own car magazine from scratch u2013 which you can still read right here u2013 and achieved a 2:1 Batcheloru2019s Degree.nnnnJake then cut his teeth working for Dennis Publishingu2019s automotive titles Carbuyer and Auto Express for two years; time at the former taught him how to drive a website content system like he stole it, and the latter refined his news writing skills.nnnnAt CAR, itu2019s his job to know whatu2019s happening at all times in the automotive industry, react to breaking news stories and direct CARu2019s team as to how to approach news content both in print and online. He interviews industry executives to either get the scoop or help flesh out a story happening in the automotive world around us, attends press conferences and events to get the story from on the ground and investigates the latest technologies being developed for and by the car industry.nnnnJake writes mostly about new car reveals, wider industry stories and articles surrounding electric cars. On top of that, heu2019s written countless drive reviews for CAR u2013 both in print and online u2013 as well as on our companion site, Parkers. Heu2019s also the custodian of the CAR newsletter, keeping you up to date with everything thatu2019s happened in the world of CAR.nnnnWhen heu2019s not driving, Jake is a big gamer. As well as hammering racing games, Jake spends a lot of his time on role-playing games and gets his real geek on with simulation games like city builders on the PC. When heu2019s not in the digital universe, heu2019s usually seen building the latest Lego kit or buying a new pair of trainers u2013 even if his house is rapidly running out of space to fit any more of either.nnnnOn social media, Jakeu2019s Instagram profile is filled with all of the cars heu2019s been lucky enough to drive over the years, and you can follow him on X (nu00E9e Twitter).

Chery International confirms smaller cars on the way<br \/>\u25ba Enabled by upcoming new smaller platform<br \/>\u25ba Could be branded as Lepas, Chery or Omoda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chery is set to launch new smaller cars to fight the European establishment, enabled by a new platform being developed for launch in the next couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-news\/first-official-pictures\/lepas\/brand-launch\/\">official brand launch of Lepas<\/a> during Milan Design Week 2026, Chery Group head of engineering Peter Matkin confirmed to CAR that the Chinese company is developing a smaller platform to enter more markets \u2013\u00a0including those closest to European brand\u2019s hearts.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018A bit like all other OEMs, everyone has shifted from the sedan into SUVS and so we\u2019ve done the same,\u2019 says Matkin. \u2018It\u2019s a big part of the Chinese market, but it\u2019s also a big part of the Middle East, South America and other markets we export to \u2013 that\u2019s what everyone is asking for.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad

guys is: \u2018hey, we\u2019re missing 50 per cent of the European market because all of our cars are at least 4.2 or 4.3 metres long\u2019 \u2013 we need to now compete in the below-four-metres space,\u2019 he adds.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\"

href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-news\/first-official-pictures\/lepas\/2026-l8\/\">L8 SUV<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-news\/first-official-pictures\/lepas\/2026-l6\/\">L6 SUV<\/a> (pictures above) at its brand launch in Milan. It also confirmed that a smaller L4 (pictured below) would arrive in Europe soon, but that\u2019s a family crossover that\u2019s still 4.4 metres long.<\/p>\n<p>For reference, cars that are around the four-metre mark include most superminis \u2013 cars like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-reviews\/renault\/5-hatchback\/\">Renault 5<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-reviews\/vauxhall\/corsa-hatchback\/\">Vauxhall Corsa<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/car-reviews\/volkswagen\/polo-hatchback\/\">VW Polo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/260564\/480x0\/chery-small-cars-05.jpg?scale=down\" alt class=\"wp-image-260570\" data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/260564\/480x0\/chery-small-cars-05.jpg?scale=down, (default)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/260564\/720x0\/chery-small-cars-05.jpg?scale=down, (medium)], [https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/260564\/1040x0\/chery-small-cars-05.jpg?scale=down, (large)]\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject show-for-medium-up hide-for-xlarge-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We can\u2019t do everything at once, but I can promise you that will come very soon \u2013\u00a0I meet with the team daily on this programme,\u2019 says Matkin. \u2018We\u2019re looking at a new architecture which can support below four metres \u2013 that will come in the future, but I can\u2019t tell you when as we\u2019ve just started working on this.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Naturally a lot is unconfirmed about these new cars, opening up possibilities as to what brands they may be attached to. Chery or Lepas feel the best fit; Chery is a brand designed to be \u2018family-oriented\u2019 in Matkin\u2019s own words, while Lepas is designed as a more premium offering. Matkin also describes Omoda as \u2018a bit more sporty.\u2019<\/p>\n<div class=\"mpu-inject hide-for-medium-up\">\n<div class=\"mpu-ad advert\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Either way, Chery is unconcerned about having four brands in Europe compete and share in very close proximity to each other. Matkin says Chery has \u2018no shame in having multiple brands.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If you look at the market segments today, I don\u2019t think people care if they see a Volkswagen, Hyundai, Kia or Toyota,\u2019 says Matkin. \u2018They just see these models in this segment, and what we\u2019re doing is adding to them. We may have a Lepas for this segment, an Omoda for that segment, a Jaecoo\u2026 so what? If what we\u2019re delivering meets customer requirements, then we can\u2019t argue it.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<aside class=\"about-author\">\n<h2 class=\"about-author-heading\">About the author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"about-author-inner\">\n<div class=\"main-author-summary-container\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"main-author-image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/author\/jake-groves\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/car-images.bauersecure.com\/wp-images\/14234\/120x120\/jg5.jpg?quality=90)\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-author-name-container\">\n<div class=\"main-author-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/author\/jake-groves\/\">Jake Groves<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"main-author-job-title\">News Editor<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"main-author-byline\">Jake has been an automotive journalist since 2015, joining CAR as Staff Writer in 2017.
