Tesla has renamed its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system to Tesla Assisted Driving in Europe, following criticism from German authorities that the original name was misleading.

Steffen Bilger argued that the… Read more…

Fiat is reincarnating the Multipla – the family vehicle that always produces strong opinions when its design comes up in a conversation.

A… Read more…

Fifty years ago, Pininfarina designed a rakish fastback sedan called the Lancia Gamma, dropped a flat-four boxer engine in, and created one of the most brilliant heartbreaks in Italian motoring history.

Way back in 1961, Pierre Dreyfus handed his Renault engineers quite an interesting brief for the original 4L: build a “blue jeans car.” He meant an honest, functional tool meant for everyone from shopkeepers to farmers. The original was never designed to be precious. It wasn’t built to flatter egos. Fast-forward to the upcoming 2026 Paris Motor Show, and Renault… 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…

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…

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.
