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.
Twenty or so years ago, the battery electric vehicle (BEV) arms race began with exotic vehicles of all sorts, cars like the Tesla Roadster or the more recent Jaguar I-Pace. But thankfully, the world is now being fed regular models powered by batteries too, and today's subject is one of those: the Mercedes EQB 250 Luxury Line.
There is a little sidenote to the title you need to know. The first thing: In the past, Skoda has made some excellent RS models, but also some “Don’t even call that an RS”. The second thing: I have owned a Skoda Octavia RS245 and was really happy with it. So I really, really, really want this car to be good. And that brings us to the third thing: It’s practically the same car as the VW ID.4 GTX I tested this year (and wasn’t convinced by it). So yes, I’m scared.
It’s been almost 10 years ago that Toyota pulled the curtain on the first-gen C-HR. Some people loved the bold new look of the -at that time- rather boring-looking Toyota, and some people just didn’t. Tastes simply differ. Can the second-gen be just as trendsetting?
Many kilometers in an E61 535d have left a nostalgic feeling for what makes a BMW a BMW for me. Mirror that feeling to recent, controversial decisions by the brand, and after reading this review, you’ll see why I ended up relieved.
It rarely happens that a car makes you nervous even before you open the door, but the OMODA 9 SHS managed to do exactly that. My previous experience with the JAECOO 7 SHS had not been particularly positive. It was a product full of good intentions, but lacking the finesse to truly measure up to what we are used to in Europe.
You would not immediately expect the larger, more ambitious OMODA 9 to simply erase that disappointment. And yet, the moment I stepped inside, doubt slowly began to give way.
SUVs dominate the market at the moment, but that doesn’t scare some manufacturers to still offer estate cars. One of those all-time favorite estates is the Volkswagen Passat and guess what: there is a new one!
Though the world may never have been as polarized and divided as today, almost everyone agrees that the Mercedes-AMG SL is nothing but beautiful. But when I mention a 4-cylinder in the SL? You're right back in the polarized world.
