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.

After the superb G 450 d, with its delightful six-cylinder diesel and endless torque, and the surprisingly competent G 580 EQ, which proved that even a G-Class can stand strong in electric form, it was time for the third musketeer: the all-new G 500.

Alpine’s range has never really stood still in recent years. The A110 has continuously evolved — refined, sharpened, and subtly repositioned with each iteration. With the arrival of the A110 GTS, Alpine takes another interesting step: the former A110 S and A110 GT are merged into a single model that promises to combine the best of both worlds.

Some cars don’t need to be driven to know they’re right. The Alpine A290 was one of those from day one. The tough, compact proportions. The wide stance. And above all those distinctive X‑shaped split headlights, a playful nod to the A110 and at the same time a clear statement: this is an Alpine, not just a Renault in different clothing.

The range of the new Mercedes GLC includes not one or two, but three plug-in hybrid versions. Next to the GLC 300e and GLC300de, we took the fastest and most powerful plug-in hybrid of the bunch, the GLC 400e 4matic. Can this GLC win our hearts?

You've seen a fair amount of C-Class models being reviewed here, but you haven't seen this Mercedes-Benz C 220 d All-Terrain pass by. A flavor of C-Class that housed two premieres in fact.
