2026 BMW i5 M60 Review: 1,620 km, 241 km/h, and 207 kW Charging
From the first few kilometres, the BMW i5 M60 feels like a preview of the next chapter. The car delivers enough performance and stability to suggest BMW has a future M5 in the pipeline and is keeping this model slightly restrained to leave room for something even more extreme. What you get today already sits close to that level. We proved it over a 1,000-kilometre loop from Munich to Graz and back.

2027 Infiniti QX65 First Drive: The FX Spirit Returns, With One Loud Caveat
Infiniti has been looking for a spark, and the 2027 QX65 aims to bring emotion back into the brand. This is not just another luxury crossover meant to blend in. The QX65 is bold, dramatic, and more expressive than the QX60, even though they share some DNA. Infiniti says it drew inspiration from the old FX series, and that influence is obvious.

2026 Volvo XC60 Recharge - Winter Test Review
The Volvo XC60 Recharge returns for 2026 with subtle but meaningful refinements. None of them changes the character of the vehicle, yet all of them matter once temperatures drop well below freezing. This winter test was carried out during a cold snap that hovered around –25°C and dipped to –35°C with the wind chill. Immediately, what stood out was how confidently the XC60 remained an electric-first vehicle.

2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Winter testing and Family Duty
The Honda Passport TrailSport returns for 2026 with a refresh that finally unlocks the potential this model always had. The previous version seemed capable on paper, but not as cohesive in real-world driving. Honda tightened the formula this year. After two full weeks of winter testing, the transformation is clear: the refreshed Passport TrailSport drives, rides, and feels better built. The V6 remains smooth and predictable. The cabin is spacious and usable for families.

2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK Review A New Kind of American GT
The new Dodge Charger arrives with a mix of nostalgia, expectations, and controversy. Many enthusiasts insist that a Charger without a V8 cannot be a Charger. That idea is holding people back from seeing what Dodge actually built. This new generation isn’t trying to re-create the past. It’s trying to move its lineup forward, and once you spend real time with the SIXPACK, the evolution becomes clear. This isn’t a tribute act, it’s a modern grand-touring muscle sedan with stron
