The place for independent car reviews in Europe

Some cars exist because they make sense. Others exist because they push boundaries. And then there’s the Audi RS e-tron GT Performance, a car that, on paper, makes absolutely no sense… yet somehow ends up being one of the most compelling electric vehicles on the market today. With 925 horsepower, over 1,000 Nm of torque, and a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 2.5 seconds, this is officially the most powerful Audi you can buy right now.

Still the best-looking plug-in hybrid SUV… but something doesn’t quite add up There are cars you buy with your head. And then there are cars you buy because you feel something. The CUPRA Formentor has always been the second kind. But while this car still knows exactly how to win you over at first glance… it doesn’t take long before you start asking questions.

Practical, efficient, comfortable and cleverly engineered. When the Skoda Enyaq launched, it proved that this philosophy could also work in the electric era. Now Skoda takes the next step with the all-new Skoda Elroq, a compact electric SUV positioned below the Enyaq in the lineup. Smaller, more city-friendly and slightly more affordable, but still built on the same advanced Volkswagen Group MEB platform.

Volkswagen’s SUV lineup has become enormous. Between the T-Cross, Taigo, T-Roc and Tiguan, not to mention the fully electric ID models, it’s sometimes difficult to immediately understand where each model fits. Yet the Volkswagen T-Roc still manages to carve out a very clear place in the range.

Sometimes you get into a car and immediately think: this is special. And sometimes you get into a car and think: this just makes sense. The new Skoda Enyaq 85 Corporate falls into that second category. No drama, no gimmicks, no exaggerated promises. Just a fully electric family SUV built with one simple goal: to do everything right.

Some cars only reveal their true character when you put them through far too many kilometres in far too little time. The BYD Seal Excellence AWD is exactly that kind of car. No neat half-day test drive, no predictable loop around the block (but over 3,200 kilometres in a single week, including more than 2,200 kilometres in just 48 hours. Austria, Paris, back home) highways, cold nights, charging stops, detours, stress, fatigue, and above all: plenty of time to discover where a car truly excels… and where it doesn’t.

With the CUPRA Tavascan VZ Extreme, the Spanish brand takes another step forward. It’s their first fully electric SUV coupé and at the same time their largest model so far. But one key question remains: does it drive as aggressively as it looks?

Electric cars and emotion rarely go hand in hand. Especially for a brand like Alfa Romeo, where character, mechanical feel and driving pleasure have always been central. Yet with the Alfa Romeo Junior Veloce, the Italian brand attempts something ambitious: building a compact electric crossover that is not only efficient, but genuinely fun to drive.

The Range Rover Sport is one of those cars you don’t buy because it’s the most rational choice. With the Range Rover Sport P460e Dynamic SE, Land Rover adds another layer to that formula: a plug-in hybrid powertrain delivering 460 horsepower, designed to combine classic Range Rover luxury with modern electrified efficiency.

Sometimes you come across cars you think about rationally. And sometimes there are cars where, after just three corners, you already know: this simply feels right. The Volkswagen Golf 8.5 R Black Edition clearly belongs to that second category. In fact, we can sum it up quite simply: this might just be the most complete hot hatch you can buy today.

Sometimes there are special editions that come with a number attached to them. 1 of 500. 1 of 1,000. That feels tangible. That feels truly limited. The DS N°4 JULES VERNE? It’s officially a limited edition, without a specific number attached to it. So how limited is it, really? Good question.

The NIO EL6 is a premium electric SUV built for Europe. And thanks to Hedin Automotive acting as importer, the brand is starting to gain serious traction here as well. Expectations? High. Because when you position yourself alongside brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo, you simply have to deliver.
