BMW just announced the new iX4 coupe crossover, offering very similar dimensions and specs to the iX3, but with an SUV Coupe body, enabling better aerodynamics and longer range. The iX40 will launch in two variants in Europe – iX4 40 xDrive and iX4 50 xDrive, with only the latter available in the US. The release time frame is sometime… Read more…

The BMW iX3 Neue Klasse has been a great car for me so far: smooth, efficient and comfortable. Two months in, though, there are a few things I still haven’t got used to and still find very irritating. All steering wheels should be round I deliberately chose the roundest steering wheel BMW offers because I already suspected the unusual shape… Read more…

The electric vehicle transition used to feel like an exclusive club with entry needing a second mortgage. Real enthusiasts, who appreciate the joy of a sorted chassis and modest dimensions, were largely left out in the cold. But this year has been different, with more and more truly affordable EVs finally arriving in the showrooms. Hyundai is one of the… Read more…

Many, many years ago, Sir William Lyons famously declared that a Jaguar should be “a copy of nothing,” an ethos that gave birth to the legendary 1961 Geneva unveiling of the E-Type. It was a car so jaw-dropping that Enzo Ferrari called it the most beautiful car ever made. But for the better part of this century, Coventry lost that… Read more…

Lucid has revealed that it produced 2,954 vehicles during the third quarter of the year (July-September), and delivered 3,806 cars. Deliveries exceeded production because the company continued to execute its planned inventory reduction strategy, converting existing stock into customer deliveries. This strategy was announced before, with Lucid targeting a $1.4 billion improvement in cash flow this year. The company says… Read more…

Mercedes announced the EQS refresh back in April this year with a steer-by-wire optional feature, but little details were given at the time. The company only promised the futuristic steering wheel a few months after the release. Well, now, you can order the EQS at an additional cost of €2,500. The €2,500 price tag doesn’t give you only the futuristic-looking… Read more…

Back in 1984, Renault and the skunkworks at Matra rewrote the family road trip by gifting Europe the original Espace. With its lightweight composite panels glued to a galvanized skeleton and a nose lifted straight from a high-speed TGV train, it started the entire continental religion of space-efficient motoring. The Espace was the ultimate rolling living room. Watching Renault surrender… Read more…

Alfa Romeo has never been the one to enter a room without causing a scene, and the christening of its first electric crossover was no exception. When Italy’s industry minister threw a full-blown patriotic tantrum over the proposed “Milano” badge – complaining that assembling an Italian-named car in Poland was a commercial treason – Alfa simply raided its archives and… Read more…

Britain has arrived at a multi-billion-pound fork in the road: which way will this island nation genuinely be better off? Do we keep enjoying the growing choice of ultra-affordable Chinese electric cars, or do we fall in step with Brussels and put up steep trade barricades to protect our deeply integrated domestic manufacturing base? It is a polarized dilemma with… Read more…

The British automotive market is a different animal entirely. Every year, on September 1st, bleary-eyed buyers hover around shiny new registration plates. But as the September 2026 registration dust settled across the UK, the automotive landscape went through a tectonic change. In thirty days, British motorists registered 99,199 pure battery-electric vehicles. That is almost five brand-new, tailpipe-free cars rolling onto… Read more…

With crude oil prices marching upward, courtesy of the geopolitical situation across the Middle East, drivers who spent the last two years swearing they would never touch a charging cable are wincing at the fuel pump and reconsidering their options. Tesla’s third-quarter delivery numbers for 2026 are a perfect example here. The finance people had already sharpened their knives, predicting… Read more…

Fifty miles south of the Arctic Circle is the frozen expanse of Arjeplog (Sweden) – and it’s not your usual testing ground. It is an unforgiving outdoor laboratory where half-baked chassis tuning and lazy electronic calibrations go to die. Watching a family-friendly compact crossover slide sideways across the ice ring track usually smacks of cheap marketing theater. But watching the… Read more…

Tesla China announced a new update coming to the Model 3 that includes a new 16-inch display with higher resolution and refresh rate, a new gray interior option and V2L functionality. Today, Tesla USA announced similar upgrades to its Model 3 that are also coming to Mexico and Puerto Rico. Interestingly, Canada wasn’t mentioned in the original Tesla post on… Read more…

The Range Rover Sport has been the bad boy of the luxury SUV world for good two decades. A rebellious, leather-lined battering ram equally good at doing burnouts outside Harrods as it was at scrambling up a muddy Scottish hillside. For three generations, and more than one million sales, its defining party piece was the supercharged V8 soundtrack that announced… Read more…

Instead of the Roadster, which was once again postponed, Tesla announced a handful of neat upgrades to the Model 3 in China today. It got a bigger screen, V2L and new interior color option. Tesla Model 3 upgrades in China Tesla published a few marketing images to promote the new Model 3 features, starting with the central infotainment display. Now,… Read more…

Only three short years ago, a consumer electronics titan best known for mobile phones, fitness bands and robot vacuums built its first electric car. When the SU7 arrived, it terrified Stuttgart’s finest. It was followed by the YU7 crossover, proving that Xiaomi was deadly serious about electric pace. But car companies cannot survive on hot-lapping dream machines alone. To play… Read more…

Toyota Motor Corporation treated the EV gold rush with ice-cold skepticism – we all saw it, and we all had a few things to say about it. Its rivals burned billions delivering half-baked electric cars, but Toyota focused on its multi-powertrain approach – leaning into hybrids, perfecting battery supply chains, and telling the world to calm down. In hindsight, I… Read more…

As per tradition, Citroen is taking part in this year’s Paris Motor Show, and it’s starting a new teaser campaign that will eventually lead to the announcement of the company’s new compact and affordable EV based on the legendary 2CV. The original Citroen 2CV Citroen calls it Time 2 Meet Again, and it starts today. It will continue until October… Read more…

Things do change awfully quick in China. It wasn’t that long ago when domestic brands shamelessly copied the shapes of Land Rovers, pinched the quad headlamps of Mercedes sedans, and put Porsche Macan rear ends onto budget crossovers. They did it because everyone then agreed that Western engineering and design were the gold standard. How times have changed… Today, China’s… Read more…

The Tesla Roadster release is being delayed once again, but this time the company blames the weather. It was supposed to launch on October 1 and by launch, we literally mean launch. Hopefully, we will see a flying Roadster on October 15. To be fair, the weather forecast for central Texas on October 1 is indeed bad. Residents should expect… Read more…
