Is the Denza Z9 GT a Huge Problem for Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche?

The Denza Z9 GT presents a compelling, albeit unproven, challenge to established German luxury brands like Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche. The vehic... morele boasts an impressive array of advanced technology, including a sophisticated rear-axle steering system capable of crab-walking and a dual-motor AWD setup delivering nearly 1000 hp in its EV form. The interior quality is generally high, featuring premium materials and a Tesla-esque responsive infotainment system, though the reviewer notes a lack of headroom for taller individuals and stiff seating comfort. Practicality is addressed with a versatile trunk and dual fridges, but the reviewer questions the necessity of features like the passenger screen and digital mirrors for European markets. While the driving dynamics are described as responsive with good noise insulation, the ergonomics and seating position are flagged as areas needing improvement. The Z9 GT's success hinges on customer acceptance of a new brand at a premium price point, alongside the critical aspects of after-sales service and support, which remain significant hurdles for new Chinese entrants in Europe. less

Luxury Estate For Half The Price? Zeekr 001 Driving Review

The Zeekr 001 is presented as a compelling luxury estate alternative, offering a striking exterior design reminiscent of the Audi RS6 but at a signifi... morecantly lower price point, starting around €55,000. The reviewer highlights the impressive interior build quality, particularly the use of microfiber and leatherette materials, and the comfortable, spacious seating. Notable features include a head-up display, a 12-speaker Yamaha sound system, and a large infotainment screen. While the acceleration in Sport mode is exhilarating (0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds for AWD), the reviewer notes some ergonomic quirks, such as capacitive steering wheel controls and a potentially misplaced trunk release button. The real-world range achieved was 460 km (285 miles) under mixed conditions at 15°C, which is considered decent. Criticisms are minor, including some squeaking noises from frameless doors on rough roads and a small frunk. Overall, the Zeekr 001 is lauded for its exceptional price-performance ratio, design, and interior quality, making it a strong contender against more expensive German rivals, despite some areas where German manufacturers still hold an edge in driving dynamics and assistance systems. less

Skoda Enyaq Facelift Driving Review (SUV and Coupé)

The Skoda Enyaq Facelift receives a largely positive review, with the reviewer highlighting its sophisticated and comfortable driving experience, part... moreicularly when equipped with the optional DCC adaptive suspension. The updated design, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced interior technology, including the 13-inch infotainment system and optional head-up display, are noted as significant improvements. The Sportline trim is praised for its sporty aesthetic and comfortable, perforated microfiber seats. However, the reviewer points out a lack of a front trunk ('frunk') and expresses a desire for an animal-free steering wheel option. While acceleration is deemed sufficient, it's noted that the upcoming RS model will offer more performance. Real-world range figures are provided: 430 km (260 miles) at speeds up to 100 km/h and 340 km (210 miles) at motorway speeds (130 km/h). The reviewer concludes that despite a few minor drawbacks like the charging speed and the lack of a frunk, the Enyaq Facelift remains a strong contender in the EV SUV market, justifying its popularity in Germany and Europe. less

2025 Subaru Forester Full Review

The 2025 Subaru Forester MHEV presents a blend of traditional SUV qualities with modern, albeit sometimes dated, technology. The reviewer highlights i... morets excellent visibility, comfortable ride, and natural steering feel, attributing these to its classic, glass-heavy design. However, the European MHEV powertrain is criticized for being underpowered, particularly on the Autobahn, with acceleration figures significantly slower than its North American counterparts. Interior quality is generally good, with soft-touch materials in higher trims, though the infotainment system's graphics are deemed '90s-esque'. Practicality shines through with ample interior space and a usable trunk. The reviewer notes the car's suitability for city driving and off-road capability, but strongly advises waiting for a full hybrid version for better efficiency and performance. The adaptive cruise control's hands-on detection is found to be overly sensitive and annoying. Pricing in Europe is considered high, especially given the powertrain limitations. less

Is This 24,000 Euro Dacia Bigster SUV the Bigger, But Better Duster? Driving Review

The Dacia Bigster emerges as a compelling proposition, offering significantly more space and a more refined driving experience than its Duster sibling... more, all at a competitive price point starting below €24,000. While not a performance vehicle, the Bigster impresses with its comfortable ride, improved noise insulation (especially with the acoustic windshield), and a more sovereign feel on the road, particularly in its hybrid configuration. The interior, while basic in some areas, is functional and animal-leather-free, with higher trims like the 'Journey' offering a pleasant microcloud material. The hybrid powertrain, paired with the automatic transmission, is recommended over the manual for a smoother experience. Downsides include sluggish acceleration, particularly on the Autobahn where it can feel underpowered compared to rivals, and a less sophisticated safety assistance suite than premium brands. However, for its price, the Bigster delivers excellent value, making it a strong contender and potentially a better choice than the Duster for many buyers seeking space and comfort. less

Cupra vs VW: Terramar vs Tiguan, Formentor vs T-Roc, Leon vs Golf, Tavascan vs ID5 vs ID4

The Cupra Terramar is presented as a sportier, more sophisticated alternative to the VW Tiguan, built on a newer platform. The reviewer highlights its... more modern, sporty exterior design, particularly the lighting signatures and optional HD Matrix LED headlights. Inside, the cabin features a busy but youthful design with copper accents and ambient lighting, though some hard plastics are noted. The driving experience is praised for its agility and the effectiveness of the new DCC Pro adaptive suspension, offering a good balance between comfort and sportiness. The Terramar feels more refined and silent than the Formentor, justifying its higher price point and positioning it as a premium, comfortable SUV. However, it's noted as being less engaging for the driver compared to the Formentor. Fuel economy is average, and pricing starts significantly higher than the Formentor, with the VZ trim featuring performance brakes and 20-inch wheels. less

Updated Volvo XC90 T8 PHEV Driving Review

The updated Volvo XC90 T8 PHEV facelift retains its classic, boxy SUV styling, which the reviewer appreciates for its timeless appeal. Key improvement... mores in the facelift include enhanced noise insulation, particularly with the optional dual acoustic windows, and a modernized interior with a larger infotainment screen featuring Google's Android Automotive OS. The T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain offers strong acceleration, achieving 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, and provides a quiet, comfortable all-electric driving experience for shorter commutes. However, the reviewer notes that the battery capacity remains unchanged and charging is slow (6.4 kW AC). While the interior materials and space are praised, the driving dynamics are considered less engaging than German competitors, with the steering feeling somewhat disconnected. The optional air suspension offers comfort but the base suspension also performs well. The reviewer suggests that for many buyers, the base trim with the B5 mild-hybrid engine and optional insulation pack might be a more sensible choice, unless specific taxation benefits or a desire for electric commuting make the T8 worthwhile. The classic design and improved interior refinement are highlighted as the main reasons for its continued relevance. less

A True Game Changer? All-New Mercedes CLA Premiere - Electric or Petrol!

The all-new Mercedes CLA aims to reclaim technological leadership, offering both electric and mild-hybrid petrol powertrains on a new modular platform... more. The electric version boasts impressive efficiency figures, with a claimed range of up to 800 km (500 miles) and a drag coefficient superior to the Tesla Model 3. Charging is also a highlight, with a 320 kW DC peak capability allowing for 300 km of range in just 10 minutes. The interior features a modern dual-screen setup, including an optional passenger display, and a new infotainment system powered by Qualcomm chips integrating Google and Microsoft AI. However, the reviewer notes that while the design is appealing, the seating comfort, particularly in the sport seats, falls short of expectations for a premium vehicle, and rear-seat legroom is compromised by the battery pack. The exterior design, while generally sleek, has a divisive split between the grille and headlamp unit. The availability of both EV and petrol versions addresses current infrastructure concerns, positioning the CLA as a versatile option. less

First Lexus RZ 550e F-Sport Premiere Review

The Lexus RZ receives a significant update, highlighted by the introduction of the RZ 550e F-Sport. This new top-tier model boasts 408 hp, achieving 0... more-100 km/h in under 4.4 seconds, and features a unique steer-by-wire system with a Formula 1-inspired steering wheel (yoke) as standard. The interior impresses with premium, animal-free materials, including microfiber and high-grade leatherette, and offers advanced features like an electrochromic panoramic roof. Charging capabilities are enhanced with 22 kW AC and 150 kW DC, and the battery capacity increases to 77 kWh gross, promising an estimated 100 km more range. While the steer-by-wire system is a standout, the reviewer notes the infotainment's GPS could be quicker, and the inductive charging pad is not ventilated. The F-Sport trim offers a sportier aesthetic and enhanced seat bolstering, though the reviewer finds both F-Sport and standard microfiber seats to be comfortable and high-quality. The vehicle is positioned as a premium alternative to the Tesla Model Y, offering a refined and technologically advanced electric SUV experience. less

2025 Mazda CX-60 Update Driving Review: 6-Cyl vs 4-Cyl

The 2025 Mazda CX-60 receives a significant update, primarily focusing on addressing previous criticisms regarding its driving dynamics and comfort. T... morehe reviewer highlights substantial improvements to the suspension, with reworked front double wishbones and servo steering for enhanced precision, and a multi-link rear setup featuring softer springs and more travel balanced by stiffer dampers. This combination aims to deliver a sportier feel without sacrificing comfort, a goal the reviewer finds largely achieved, particularly noting a more planted and less 'lifting' sensation over bumps, especially in the plug-in hybrid variant. The inline-six diesel is praised for its surprising acceleration when pushed, while the PHEV offers a calmer electric drive. Interior quality is noted as high, with a user-friendly manual interface, though seat comfort for very tall drivers and the packaging for rear legroom are minor drawbacks. The reviewer recommends the 3.3L diesel, particularly the RWD version, and suggests opting for lower trims with fabric seats for better value and comfort. less

How Good Is This Bigger Tiguan and Kodiaq Brother? All-New VW Tayron Driving Review

The VW Tayron emerges as a compelling successor to the Tiguan Allspace, offering a sophisticated and comfortable driving experience, particularly on t... morehe motorway. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior, available in both 5 and 7-seater configurations, with the 7-seater offering enhanced flexibility. Key positives include the optional DCC Pro adaptive suspension, which significantly improves ride comfort and reduces vibrations, and excellent noise insulation, creating a premium cabin ambiance. The base 'Life' trim, while entry-level, is praised for its value, especially when equipped with optional extras like the acoustic windows, bringing the price to a realistic €52,000. The reviewer notes the return of physical buttons for key functions, a welcome change based on customer feedback. Downsides are minimal, but the third row is deemed suitable only for children due to limited legroom and headroom. The infotainment system, while improved, is not considered the absolute best. Overall, the Tayron is presented as a refined and practical large SUV, offering a more sophisticated feel than its Skoda Kodiaq counterpart. less

This 20,000 Euro VW ID1 or ID Up! is the First Volkswagen with Rivian Tech

The Volkswagen ID.1 (or ID. UP!) represents a significant strategic shift for the brand, aiming to offer an affordable electric vehicle starting at €2... more0,000. The reviewer highlights a new, bolder design language moving away from the previous ID family aesthetic, with a focus on timeless appeal and broader market acceptance. Key features include a sliding center console, a surprisingly spacious 305-liter boot, and a unique light show capability. Positively, the vehicle is praised for its upmarket appearance despite its price point and the integration of Rivian's software architecture for improved user experience. However, a major drawback is its late arrival in 2027, potentially missing the market window, especially when compared to the ID.2 launching in 2026. The reviewer also notes the move back to front-wheel drive for cost-efficiency, which may not appeal to enthusiasts seeking rear-wheel-drive dynamics, and a realistic range of around 200 km, positioning it as a city-focused EV. less

Volvo Launches an All-New Sedan! Volvo ES90 Premiere Review

The Volvo ES90 marks a significant return to the sedan segment for the brand, aiming to challenge established luxury electric vehicles. The reviewer h... moreighlights its impressive aerodynamic design, boasting Volvo's lowest drag coefficient yet at 0.25, though slightly behind top-tier competitors. Interior luxury is a major focus, with praise for the high-quality, animal-free materials, comfortable seating (front and rear), and the premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system. The rear seating experience is particularly lauded for its spaciousness and adjustability, creating a cocooning atmosphere, though the high EV floor remains a compromise. Performance is strong across the range, with AWD variants offering up to 680 hp. Charging is efficient thanks to the 800V architecture, enabling 10-80% in just 20 minutes. The fastback trunk design offers good accessibility, though its 390-liter capacity is noted. The reviewer expresses a desire for a simpler user interface but is overwhelmingly impressed by the materials, comfort, and overall luxury package, deeming it competitive even against higher-segment vehicles like the Mercedes EQS in terms of comfort. less

Still the Benchmark? Tesla Model Y Facelift - The Ultimate Driving Review

The updated Tesla Model Y, codenamed 'Juniper', receives a significant facelift focusing on comfort and refinement. Key improvements include... more enhanced noise insulation, a more comfortable ride thanks to frequency-adaptive suspension, and upgraded interior materials. The exterior boasts a cleaner, more modern look with a new light signature and integrated front camera. While battery sizes remain unchanged, Tesla has focused on efficiency gains. The reviewer highlights the improved driving dynamics, making the car feel more planted and agile, especially on the Autobahn. However, the lack of a head-up display and the continued reliance on the touchscreen for essential functions like gear selection are noted drawbacks. Phantom braking remains a concern, with the reviewer experiencing an instance despite previous reports. Real-world range in challenging conditions (cold, rain, 120 km/h) was around 400 km for the Long Range model. Despite some criticisms, the reviewer concludes that the Model Y, especially considering its price-to-performance ratio and technology, remains a benchmark in the EV segment. less

Stinger Electrified? Kia EV4 Sedan vs Hatch Premiere Plus Preview EV2

The Kia EV4 emerges as a compelling new entrant, positioned to offer strong value, particularly in its sedan form. The reviewer highlights its impress... moreive aerodynamic efficiency (Cd of 0.23), which is expected to translate to better real-world range compared to models like the EV6, especially at higher speeds. Key strengths include a spacious interior with ample legroom, a clean and modern design with high-quality, animal-free materials, and practical features like a usable trunk (490L for sedan) and a comfortable, albeit manually adjustable, seating position. The reviewer praises the retention of physical climate controls and a dual-screen setup. However, the EV4's charging architecture is noted as a drawback; it lacks the 800-volt system of the EV6, resulting in a 10-80% charge time of around 30 minutes, which is considered not particularly quick. The absence of a front trunk (frunk) is also a minor disappointment. The GT-Line trim adds a sportier aesthetic with unique interior and exterior styling. Overall, the EV4 is presented as a well-rounded, price-performance-oriented EV, especially appealing in its sedan guise for its efficiency and design. less

Microbus Test: How the All-New VW T7 Caravelle & Transporter Differ from Multivan and ID Buzz

The VW T7 Caravelle and Transporter represent a new generation built on a commercial vehicle platform, distinct from the Multivan and ID. Buzz. This T... more7 variant prioritizes interior space, payload capacity, and towing over the refined comfort of its passenger-focused siblings. The review highlights its impressive interior volume, particularly in the long-wheelbase Caravelle, capable of seating up to nine people with ample luggage space. Practicality is key, with removable seats, a robust cargo area, and higher payload/towing figures than the Multivan or ID. Buzz. However, the driving experience is noted as more utilitarian, akin to a bus or truck, with less NVH insulation than the passenger models. The EV version's limited range (around 300km city, less on highway) and smaller battery compared to the ID. Buzz are significant drawbacks, making it suitable only for specific, low-mileage use cases. While comfortable and capable off-pavement, the T7's pricing is considered expensive, especially when compared to the Multivan and ID. Buzz, though business buyers may benefit from net pricing. The Transporter cargo version offers immense practicality for commercial use. less

Has Hyundai Built the Cleverest Small EV? Hyundai Inster Driving Review

The Hyundai Inster is presented as a clever and stylish small electric car, aiming to capture the younger demographic with its "micro SUV" d... moreesign and youthful interior. The reviewer highlights its compact 3.8m length, making it ideal for city driving, and praises its distinctive exterior styling, particularly the pixel LED lighting and Ionic 5-inspired rear lamps. Inside, the cabin is noted for its spaciousness despite the exterior size and its modularity, including a sliding rear bench and the ability to fold seats flat for increased cargo space. The reviewer appreciates the large physical buttons for climate control and infotainment functions, as well as the dual 10.3-inch screens. However, criticisms include the use of hard plastics, a somewhat dated infotainment interface, and a cramped trunk in its standard configuration. The driving experience is described as competent, with good handling and a comfortable ride, though wind noise becomes noticeable at highway speeds. Real-world consumption was reported around 18 kWh/100km in cold conditions (4°C), suggesting a range of approximately 270 km with the larger battery, which is less than ideal. While the lower trims offer strong value, the top-spec Prime trim at €30,000 is considered to diminish the value proposition, potentially making competitors more attractive. less

Audi vs Porsche Comparison A7 vs Panamera, Q8 vs Cayenne, Q6 vs Macan - Including RS and GTS Models

The Audi RS7 Performance receives a thorough review, highlighting its significant power increase to 630 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque, resulting in ... morea quicker 0-100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds. The reviewer praises the car's impressive acceleration, described as 'lift-off like a spaceship,' and its superb handling, particularly the precise steering and excellent grip. The interior is noted for its extensive use of Alcantara and quality materials, though the reviewer criticizes the excessive use of high-gloss black trim. Practicality is a strong suit, with a versatile fastback opening and a usable trunk. While the suspension setup offers a wide range from comfortable cruising to a stiffer, sportier feel, the reviewer recommends the air suspension for its flexibility. The car is acknowledged as being at the end of its life cycle but is presented as a highly developed and compelling option, especially for those seeking a blend of racing performance and everyday usability. less

Cupra Leon Facelift VZ Driving Review Estate vs Hatch

The Cupra Leon facelift, particularly the VZ Extreme Sportstourer, is presented as a highly engaging and sporty estate option. The reviewer highlights... more its sharp "shark nose" design, updated lighting with a "triforce" signature, and the availability of Matrix LED lights as standard on the VZ Extreme. A key differentiator is the estate's exclusive 333 hp AWD powertrain with torque vectoring and drift mode, offering significant driving fun, especially in corners, and a claimed 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. The interior receives praise for its sporty seats (though the "Cup Bucket" seats are noted as less comfortable for long-term sitting than the standard sport seats), a 13-inch infotainment system that is quicker than before, and solid build quality with nice contrasting details. However, the reviewer points out that noise insulation at higher speeds could be better for the price point. The VZ Extreme, fully optioned, reaches a considerable €64,000, making it one of the most expensive Cupra models. Despite the high price and minor comfort compromises in the top seats, the vehicle's agile handling, powerful performance, and overall driving enjoyment are strongly emphasized, positioning it as a "true fun machine" and one of the "coolest Estates" available. less

Volvo Cross Country Is Back! Volvo EX30 Cross Country Premiere

The Volvo EX30 Cross Country marks a significant expansion of Volvo's EV lineup, offering enhanced capability for those seeking a more rugged, al... morel-weather vehicle. The reviewer highlights the increased ground clearance, standard AWD, and protective exterior cladding as key benefits, making it well-suited for rural environments. Inside, the minimalist Scandinavian design is praised, particularly the use of sustainable materials like recycled plastics, pine tree oil, and upcycled denim. However, the reviewer notes drawbacks such as the low rear seat bench lacking under-thigh support and the absence of physical buttons for climate control, relegating all functions to the central touchscreen. While the driving dynamics are described as nimble and confidence-inspiring, the one-pedal driving is less aggressive than in other Volvo EVs, and the steering feedback is somewhat vague. The reviewer concludes that while not a hardcore off-roader, the EX30 Cross Country is a compelling option for those needing enhanced capability over standard SUVs, especially in regions like Northern Sweden. less

Should Carmakers Be Scared of This Zeekr 7X? First Exterior Interior Review

The Zeekr 7X emerges as a formidable contender in the electric SUV market, directly challenging established players like the Tesla Model Y. Its stando... moreut feature is its exceptionally fast charging capability, capable of 10-80% in just 10 minutes with a 480 kW charger, though 360 kW chargers still offer impressive 13-16 minute times. The reviewer highlights the premium interior quality, smooth and responsive infotainment system, and a host of luxury features typically found in much more expensive vehicles, such as electric doors and advanced ambient lighting. The AWD Privilege trim boasts 640 hp and a 3.8-second 0-100 km/h sprint. However, a key criticism is the lack of fully animal-free interior options, a standard offered by competitors. Efficiency is also noted as a potential area where Tesla might still hold an advantage, pending further testing. Despite these points, the pricing strategy, especially for the larger battery option, is considered a significant advantage, making the 7X a compelling, albeit challenging, proposition for traditional manufacturers. less

Can Toyota Succeed With The Toyota Urban Cruiser? First Overview Review!

The Toyota Urban Cruiser presents a compelling entry into the compact EV market, particularly for those transitioning from hybrid or combustion engine... more vehicles. Its exterior design is noted as strong and rugged, avoiding an overly "EV-ish" look. Inside, the vehicle prioritizes practicality and a familiar feel, with a notable absence of animal-derived materials in the upholstery. The seats are highlighted as a positive feature, offering good comfort and a premium feel with a mix of fabric and leatherette. Space utilization is a strong point, especially with the versatile rear bench that slides and adjusts, and a trunk designed to prevent small items from escaping. However, the interior materials in some areas are described as hard plastic, and the dual-screen setup, with the instrument cluster lower than the infotainment, is considered suboptimal visually. The reviewer also points out that the panoramic roof is non-functional (cannot be opened), which is a deceptive design element. While official range figures are pending, an estimated 300 km (200 miles) is suggested for the larger battery. Pricing is expected to start around €30,000. The reviewer expresses optimism regarding Toyota's renowned reliability extending to this new EV model. less

Among the Best All-Rounder EVs? 2025 Kia EV6 Facelift Review

The 2025 Kia EV6 facelift receives a positive review, highlighting its updated styling, improved sound deadening, and enhanced suspension with frequen... morecy selective dampers. The reviewer praises the unique light signatures and the practical automatic closing of the charging port. Interior quality is noted as good, with comfortable seats and a futuristic cockpit, though the infotainment system could be quicker. The rear seating position is comfortable but suffers from a high floor due to the battery. Trunk space is practical, with a good capacity and versatile folding options. Driving dynamics are a strong point, with the AWD GT-Line offering brisk acceleration (5.3 seconds 0-100 km/h) and a balanced, agile feel, even outperforming the Tesla Model Y in ride comfort according to the reviewer. Real-world winter range is estimated around 400 km (250 miles) with the larger battery. Downsides include the artificial steering feel and the recommendation to opt for 19-inch wheels over the larger 20-inch ones for better ride comfort. Pricing is considered high, especially for the GT-Line trim, making the EV3 a more budget-friendly alternative for those prioritizing electric driving over size and features. less
