2024 Volvo EX30 - The Smallest & Quickest Volvo EV Ever
The Volvo EX30 is presented as the smallest and quickest Volvo EV, blurring the lines between an SUV and a hot hatch. The reviewer highlights its comp... moreact dimensions, modern Thor's hammer headlights, and a surprisingly spacious interior for its size, particularly noting the innovative use of recycled materials like flex fabric and denim fiber. However, the review points out several drawbacks: the sharp edge of the trunk cover poses a safety concern, the digital key system is deemed overly complicated, and the capacitive steering wheel buttons are not favored. The reviewer also expresses disappointment with the lack of a physical instrument cluster and heads-up display, a feature present in its platform siblings. While the driving dynamics are praised for being agile and fun, especially in corners, the real-world range is considered limited (around 350 km or 220 miles) due to the smaller battery and less efficient motors, making it more suited for city driving. The Performance AWD version offers impressive acceleration but the reviewer suggests the rear-drive variant might offer a sportier, more engaging experience for enthusiasts. less
2024 Tesla Model 3 Facelift Highland - Better Overall!
The 2024 Tesla Model 3 facelift, codenamed 'Highland', receives a comprehensive update that significantly enhances its appeal. The exterior ... moreboasts improved aerodynamics, sleeker lighting, and a more practical trunk. Inside, the minimalist cabin is further refined with new, more comfortable perforated seats (borrowed from the Model S/X), enhanced ambient lighting, and a revised dashboard. A key improvement is the reduction in cabin noise, making for a more premium driving experience. The reviewer highlights the improved ride comfort, addressing previous criticisms of stiff suspension and uncomfortable seats, though it's noted that the suspension isn't the absolute softest.

Real-world range is reported as a respectable 500 km (320 miles) under mixed conditions. less
BYD Seal 3.9s - Every Competitor Should Be Worried!
The BYD Seal makes a strong debut in the European market, presenting a compelling alternative to established players like the Tesla Model 3. Reviewers... more praise its sleek exterior design, high-quality interior materials, and surprisingly spacious cabin, particularly for taller drivers. The driving experience is highlighted as a significant strength, with the Seal offering a more engaging and refined feel than the Model 3, especially in its AWD 'Excellence' trim which features adaptive dampers. Performance is brisk, and the ride comfort strikes a good balance between sportiness and compliance. However, the Seal isn't without its drawbacks. Fast charging is slower than competitors, and the driver assistance systems, while functional, require deactivation at each startup and are not yet fully optimized for European regulations. Minor annoyances like the loud pedestrian warning chime and occasional screen flickering are also noted. Despite these points, the BYD Seal is deemed a highly competitive offering, particularly given its pricing, and a serious contender against both Tesla and German premium EVs. less
2024 BMW iX2 - Preview of the All-Electric X2
The 2024 BMW iX2, presented alongside the M35i petrol variant, showcases a distinct and polarizing design that sets it apart from its X1 sibling, aimi... moreng to be a 'compact X6'. The exterior boasts a longer, more dramatic silhouette than its predecessor, with notable rear-end styling and optional illuminated grille. Inside, the M Sport package offers premium materials like Alcantara and optional Veganza, featuring a modern curved display with BMW's OS9. However, the reviewer notes the lack of physical climate controls and the controversial optional monthly subscriptions for digital services like the AirConsole gaming platform.

The electric iX2 offers a claimed range of around 350 km (220 miles) from its 65 kWh battery, positioning it more as a city SUV. The M35i variant stands out with its aggressive styling, quad exhaust pipes, and a more powerful engine, making it the reviewer's preferred choice for desirability and performance, though it presents a significant challenge to the existence of the BMW X4. less
Zeekr X - A Deadly Serious Contender on the Compact EV Market
The Zeekr X presents a compelling package in the compact EV market, impressing with its premium interior build quality and unique design elements. The... more reviewer highlights the high-grade, animal-free materials, comfortable seating, and thoughtful details like the integrated climate controls and ambient lighting as significant strengths. Performance is noted as strong, particularly the AWD version's acceleration, though the reviewer cautions that the car's handling during hard acceleration could be more controlled. Real-world range is estimated at around 320 km (200 miles) with a consumption of 21 kWh/100km, which is considered average for the segment. Downsides include some wind noise on the highway and a steering feel that could be more natural at higher speeds. A significant point of critique is the software, which, in this early prototype, exhibits bugs and requires further adaptation for the European market, impacting features like the reverse camera and driver assistance systems. Despite these software issues, the Zeekr X is deemed a very decent offering, especially considering its competitive pricing between €45,000 and €50,000. less
BMW i5 - The New 5-Series Gives You More to Choose From
The BMW i5, presented as the electric variant of the new 5 Series, offers a compelling blend of luxury, technology, and driving dynamics. The reviewer... more highlights the distinct design choices between the M Sport package and the base model, favoring the latter for a more classic and less aggressive aesthetic. Inside, the i5 impresses with its high-quality materials, particularly the veganza upholstery and optional comfort seats, which are lauded as segment-leading. The iDrive 8.5 infotainment system, while feature-rich, is noted as being somewhat complex for certain functions. Driving impressions reveal the i5 M60's potent acceleration and engaging handling, aided by adaptive suspension and rear-axle steering. However, the reviewer points out that the eDrive40 RWD version offers a more natural, agile feel and significantly better efficiency, achieving a realistic range of approximately 480 km (300 miles) compared to the M60's 430 km (270 miles). The reviewer concludes that the eDrive40, especially with the base styling, represents the better value and more sensible choice for most buyers seeking a balance of performance, range, and comfort, while acknowledging the i5's overall ability to deliver a near 7 Series driving experience at a lower price point. less

The BMW i7 M70 is presented as the ultimate electric flagship, boasting the most powerful electric BMW powertrain to date. The review highlights its s... moretriking exterior design, particularly the optional two-tone paint in Liquid Copper and Sapphire, which the reviewer finds surprisingly effective. Inside, the M70 trim offers a luxurious experience with an M steering wheel and premium seating, though an animal-free seat option is noted as unavailable for this specific trim. The reviewer praises the advanced cockpit with its curved display and ambient lighting bar, but points out the over-reliance on screen controls for functions like window shades and climate, which can feel cumbersome. Rear-seat passengers are treated to an executive lounge experience, complete with a Theatre Mode Fire TV screen, though the stiffer suspension setup of the M70, compared to the standard i7, is noted to be more noticeable for rear occupants. Performance is a strong suit, with impressive acceleration figures (0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds) and agile handling aided by rear-axle steering. However, the M70 is thirstier than the standard i7, resulting in a reduced real-world range of approximately 430 km (270 miles) compared to the standard model's 500 km (300 miles). Ultimately, while the M70 offers immense power and luxury, the reviewer suggests that for pure comfort, especially for rear passengers, a standard i7 with smaller wheels might be a more suitable choice. less

Real-world efficiency is reported at approximately 18 kWh/100km, yielding a realistic range of around 440 km (270 miles), a substantial improvement over the pre-facelift model. The C40 variant is noted to be slightly more efficient due to its better CD value, especially on the highway. Overall, the facelift is deemed a worthwhile upgrade for those seeking better EV performance and range in a compact SUV package. less
2024 Polestar 2 Facelift - Comes With All The Necessary Changes !

The reviewer highlights the ne... morew, more efficient RWD powertrain as the standout improvement, offering a sportier feel and better range, achieving an impressive real-world average of around 14 kWh/100km (over 500 km or 330 miles). Exterior changes are subtle, with a closed grille, while the interior retains a more traditional, 'car-like' interface compared to the Tesla Model 3, featuring quality materials and a functional Google-based infotainment system. Positives include improved efficiency, engaging RWD driving experience, and a well-integrated interior interface. However, the rear seating comfort is noted as cramped, and the ride can be stiff, especially with larger wheels. The reviewer also points out the higher price point compared to the Tesla Model 3 as a significant drawback, making the Polestar 2 a compelling but more expensive choice. less

The high price is also mentioned as a considerable factor. Despite the interface issues, the overall verdict is overwhelmingly positive, praising the comfort, driving dynamics, and design, while acknowledging the need for a simpler user experience. less
XPeng G9 EV - VW's Latest Partnership to Boost Their EV Sales
The XPeng G9 is presented as a compelling large electric SUV, particularly for its aggressive pricing strategy which positions it between the Tesla Mo... moredel Y and Model X. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's strong hardware, excellent build quality, and impressive performance, especially the all-wheel-drive version's acceleration. Key positives include the premium interior materials, comfortable seating, a well-integrated cockpit with multiple screens, and the convenience of physical buttons on the steering wheel for climate control.

The steering lacks feedback, and the turn signal cancellation mechanism is noted as a minor annoyance. Despite these software issues, the reviewer concludes that the G9's excellent hardware, spacious interior, and competitive pricing make it a strong contender, justifying VW's significant investment in the brand. less

Issues with the voice assistant and the lack of certain features like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto (in the tested version) are noted. The reviewer also mentions a slightly annoying hum from the electric motors and the mandatory speed warning system. Despite these software-related criticisms, the hardware, driving experience, and overall value proposition are considered outstanding, making the Zeekr 001 a formidable contender in the EV market. less
2023 VW ID3 Facelift - All the Changes & Efficiency Test
The 2023 VW ID.3 facelift receives a cleaner exterior design with updated lighting signatures and the removal of the previous black panel. Inside, mat... moreerial upgrades are evident, particularly with the use of microfiber and improved build quality, though the glossy black trim remains a scratch magnet. The reviewer praises the comfortable seating options, including sport seats with good support, and the spaciousness for its compact size. However, criticisms are leveled at the capacitive steering wheel buttons, the infotainment system's occasional sluggishness and complexity, and a notably inconsistent brake pedal feel, especially in the initial travel. Performance is deemed adequate for the 'Pro' version, with good handling and a low center of gravity contributing to a fun driving experience, aided by the rear-wheel drive. Real-world consumption averaged 16 kWh/100km, translating to an estimated range of 360 km (220 miles) for the small battery and 480 km (300 miles) for the large battery in mild temperatures.

BMW i5 - The Latest 5 Series Introduced for the First Time as an EV
The 2024 BMW i5 marks a significant step for the 5 Series, introducing its first fully electric variant alongside PHEV and combustion engine options o... moren a shared platform. The reviewer highlights the i5 M60's sporty M Sport Pro package, featuring distinctive black accents and optional illumination. While the design retains a traditional, angular business sedan look, which the reviewer prefers over more radical EV styling, it does compromise slightly on aerodynamics compared to competitors like the Mercedes EQE. The interior is praised for its high-class materials, extensive ambient lighting, and a strong emphasis on sustainability with animal-free "Vanza" seats. The new OS 8.5 infotainment system is responsive, though some digital climate controls are noted as less intuitive. The i5 M60 offers impressive performance with a 0-100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 230 km/h. Real-world range is estimated between 400-500 km.

Nio ET5 - Aiming for Europe's Number 1 EV!
The Nio ET5 presents a compelling package for the premium EV sedan market, aiming to challenge established players. Its exterior design is clean and m... moreodern, with distinctive lighting elements and a range of attractive color options. Inside, the vegan interior materials and ambient lighting create a sophisticated atmosphere, though the central NOMI AI interface, while functional, can be intrusive for some. A significant drawback highlighted is the front seating position, which feels cramped for taller drivers, a stark contrast to the more spacious feel of its larger siblings. Driving dynamics are generally positive, with good steering feel and a planted, sporty sensation, especially at high speeds where its impressive noise insulation shines. The real-world range is respectable, estimated at around 500 km (300 miles) in mild temperatures with the 100 kWh battery, though winter range drops to about 400 km (250 miles). While acceleration is brisk, the reviewer notes the car's tendency to beep excessively due to regulations, which can be annoying despite being deactivatable. Pricing is competitive within the premium segment, with options for outright purchase or battery leasing, including Nio's signature battery swap technology. Overall, the ET5 offers strong hardware and a good driving experience, but the front cabin space is a critical consideration for taller individuals. less

Mercedes EQE SUV 2023 - The Best Luxury Mid-Size Electric SUV ?
The Mercedes EQE SUV 500 4MATIC is presented as a compelling option in the luxury mid-size electric SUV segment. The reviewer highlights its sophistic... moreated design, particularly the AMG line's sporty accents and the optional Hyperscreen, which, despite its cost, offers impressive visuals and personalization. The interior quality is generally praised, with the "neotex" material and ambient lighting noted as premium touches. However, the reviewer criticizes the animal skin-like material in the AMG line seats as rough and hard, suggesting the Electric Art interior's alternative material is superior and softer. The panoramic roof is noted for its light-infusing capability but suffers from significant wind noise at higher speeds.

Overall, it's positioned as a comfortable, technologically advanced, and surprisingly agile electric SUV, though with some notable interior material and noise criticisms. less
VW ID.7 - Interior Look & First Test Drive
The Volkswagen ID.7 is presented as a new flagship EV sedan, aiming to compete with models like the Tesla Model 3/S and Mercedes EQE. The review highl... moreights impressive build quality, particularly in the interior, with soft-touch materials, high-grade leather options, and a focus on animal-free and recycled materials. The seating is praised for comfort and adjustability, including optional Ergo-active seats with massage functions. The infotainment system is noted as being quicker and more responsive than previous VW EVs, featuring a large 15-inch screen and augmented reality navigation.

Minor criticisms include the haptic feedback on the key fob and the lack of physical controls for the air vents, which are integrated into the touchscreen. less
Lexus RZ 450e 2023 - Introducing the Yoke Steering Wheel with Steer By Wire
The Lexus RZ 450e presents a compelling, premium EV experience, particularly highlighted by its innovative 'One Motion Grip' steer-by-wire s... moreystem. This technology, a significant departure from traditional steering, offers a more direct and less involved input, proving advantageous for both agile driving and effortless parking, and is deemed superior to Tesla's yoke. The interior impresses with high-quality materials, including Ultrasuede and Tahara options, and features like the electrochromic roof and radiant heater enhance comfort. However, the RZ 450e is not without its drawbacks. The usable battery capacity of 64 kWh is relatively small, leading to a less competitive real-world range (18-20 kWh/100km consumption) compared to rivals. While the steer-by-wire is a technological marvel, the reviewer notes that the standard steering wheel also offers a calm and enjoyable driving experience, making the choice between the two a personal preference. The 18-inch wheels are strongly recommended over the 20-inch for superior ride comfort, aligning better with Lexus's luxury ethos. less
Hyundai Ioniq 6 2023 - The Ultimate Sedan EV ?
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is presented as a compelling EV sedan alternative to the Tesla Model 3, excelling in interior refinement and build quality. The re... moreviewer highlights its aerodynamic design, which contributes to a stable and quiet ride, particularly on the motorway. While the driving dynamics are praised for being agile and fun, especially with the rear-bias "overdrive" mode, the reviewer notes that the Ioniq 5 might offer a better view for city driving. The digital mirrors are considered a good execution but not necessarily superior to traditional ones. Real-world range is estimated at around 420 km (260 miles), which is decent but not class-leading. The infotainment system's software is criticized for being laggy, though the inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a significant advantage over Tesla. The reviewer concludes that while the Ioniq 6 offers a more premium interior experience than the Model 3, the choice between the two ultimately comes down to personal preference for sedan versus crossover style and the importance of software integration. less
VW ID.3 2023 - An Update for a More Grown-up Appeal
The 2023 VW ID.3 facelift addresses key criticisms, offering a more mature and premium interior experience. The exterior receives subtle yet effective... more updates, including a cleaner front fascia and new wheel designs, contributing to a more 'grown-up' appeal. Inside, the significant improvements lie in the material quality, with more soft-touch surfaces and refined upholstery, including animal-free options. The new steering wheel and improved seat ergonomics, particularly the sport seats, enhance comfort. While the infotainment system sees minor stability improvements and a larger screen, its usability and the continued reliance on capacitive buttons for climate control remain points of contention. The rear drum brakes are explained as a measure against rust due to strong regenerative braking. The reviewer highlights the Pro and Pro S variants, noting the Pro S (with the larger battery) omits the panoramic roof and fifth seat due to weight considerations. Real-world range is estimated around 400 km (250 miles) for the larger battery and 300 km (200 miles) for the smaller one. Overall, the facelift successfully elevates the ID.3's perceived quality, aligning it better with customer expectations for a premium electric vehicle. less
Nio EL7 Review - New Big SUV EV Against the Giants !
The Nio EL7 is presented as a compelling electric SUV contender against established giants like BMW, Mercedes, and Tesla. The reviewer highlights its ... moresleek, timeless design, premium interior materials (including vegan options), and a surprisingly openable panoramic roof. A standout feature is the executive-class passenger seat with a deployable footrest and thigh support. The vehicle boasts impressive acceleration, especially in Sport Plus mode (3.9 seconds 0-100 km/h), and a refined, quiet driving experience that surpasses Tesla's in terms of suspension and overall premium feel. However, the reviewer notes that the infotainment system lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Nomi assistant, while quick, can be audibly intrusive. Real-world range is estimated at over 400 km (250 miles) with the larger battery, though charging times are not class-leading. Pricing is substantial, starting around €74,000 without the battery, with the larger battery pushing the total closer to €95,000, making it competitive but not cheap. less
