2023 MG Mulan: a look inside…
We’ve seen a bit of the new MG Mulan before. But this is the first time we get to see the interior. And it does seem quite nice. Sure, the usual screens. But the overall design is pretty clean and simple. This is a compact EV, which will probably compete in Europe with the VW… Continue reading 2023 MG Mulan: a look inside…

2023 Honda HR-V: test drive coming up…
I will be driving the all-new 2023 Honda HR-V for a week. As usual, I will try to answer any questions you might have. – So far, (After just a few minutes) the new Nordic Forest color looks even better in person (Although the interior is all-black in my test car, a light grey/black combo… Continue reading 2023 Honda HR-V: test drive coming up…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: more photos of the US version…
Hyundai just released official photos of the all-new 2023 Ioniq 6 electric sedan, and we’ve already seen the US version in spy shots. Now we get to see what it looks like in white. And I hate to say, but it doesn’t look that great. The white emphasizes the new amber turn signals and side… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: more photos of the US version…

2020 Gas Enpulse Concept: coming soon…
Chinese manufacturer GAC introduced the Enpulse concept bak in 2020. Now we are getting some info about a production version coming soon (bottom pic) Apparently, this will be another millionaire toy priced at over $150 000. At least it’s not another SUV. And still a bit cheaper than the upcoming (maybe) Tesla Roadster with similar… Continue reading 2020 Gas Enpulse Concept: coming soon…

Honda CR-V: test drive…
Somehow, Honda gave me the opportunity to drive the CR-V for a week. I say “somehow”, because the current CR-V is at the end of its life. A brand new redesigned 2023 model is coming out in just a few weeks. But, I had never driven the current CR-V before. And since it is one… Continue reading Honda CR-V: test drive…

2025 BMW 3 series: early illustration…
Yes, that’s really early. And it probably won’t keep the exact same grille as the current 4 series either. No matter what the est of the car looks like. Apparently, the next generation 3 series EV will be built in Mexico for the North American market. As well as Hungary for Europe. The US is… Continue reading 2025 BMW 3 series: early illustration…

2023 Ford Fusion Active: new illustrations…
While pretty nice, these illustrations of the upcoming Ford Fusion Active don’t really seem to match the spy shots of the real thing. I really like the idea of a Subaru Outback type wagon instead of “another SUV”. But the prototype’s shape does look more like an SUV. (bottom pic) Rumors about the Fusion morphing… Continue reading 2023 Ford Fusion Active: new illustrations…

Chevrolet Bolt EUV: test drive…
Even though the newer Bolt EUV resembles the regular Bolt, it does have its own design. The EUV is over 6 inches longer and has a 3 inches longer wheelbase than the regular Bolt. The version I drove is a loaded model that included a Sound and Sun package as well as Supercruise for around… Continue reading Chevrolet Bolt EUV: test drive…

2023 Buick Envista: a look inside…
We’ve already seen the all-new Buick Envista fully uncovered a few weeks ago. Now we get to see its modern and clean-looking interior. Or at least, some of it. So far, the Envista is a Chinese market model. Powered by a 1.5 Liter Turbo engine. Although the design is inspired by the Electra X Concept,… Continue reading 2023 Buick Envista: a look inside…

2023/24 Kia Seltos: early mid-cycle refresh…
Just in time to compete with the new, larger Honda HR-V, the Kia Seltos is getting some changes. I’ve always thought the front end was way too busy for a small crossover. Unfortunately, the new one, while different, doesn’t really seem much better. There’s still a lot going on. The rear end has also… Continue reading 2023/24 Kia Seltos: early mid-cycle refresh…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: the US version…
The black car above shows what the US model of the new Ioniq 6 sedan will look like. You can see the mandatory side markets front and back. The front ones are in a weird place, ahead of the wheel arch. Hyundai did a much better job on the Ioniq 5, where the front side… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: the US version…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: first look videos…
Here are a few of the many videos available on Youtube about the new 2023 Hyundai Ioniq sedan. Showing the car inside and out (but not the trunk) It does seem quite large in person. I really love the interior door panel design. But the center console with its blah grey plastic might look and… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: first look videos…

VinFast e34: caught in the US…
The e34 is a small EV launched by WinFast late last year in its home market of Vietnam. A reader just sent me these photos of a prototype taken in Michigan. As you can see, it is the exact same car as the one in the official shots. It looks OK. A bit bloated and… Continue reading VinFast e34: caught in the US…

Honda Civic Hybrid: not for us yet…
Honda is currently launching the new Civic Hatchback Hybrid in Europe. It uses a 2.0 Liter engine (Similar to the discontinued Insight) and gets a bit above 50MPG in the Euro cycle. Wich doesn’t seem better than the 55City/40HWY Insight. And barely better than the 48MPG combined of the larger Accord. Maybe that’s why Honda… Continue reading Honda Civic Hybrid: not for us yet…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: this is it…
After all the spy shots and illustrations we’ve seen, it is actually weird to see the real thing. The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 ends up looking a bit weird to me. Of course, no one was expecting the fantastic Prophecy concept to translate to production without major changes. Still. At least in these early photos,… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: this is it…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: best teaser so far…
This new teaser finally shows one of the most mysterious parts of the new Hyundai Ioniq 6: the front end. Which looks very different from the original Prophecy concept. And not as smooth. The production car seems much more aggressive. Not sure why this black plastic strip is for. There could be a light under… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: best teaser so far…

VW ID.Aero Concept: live photos…
The new ID.Aero concept looks OK in VW’s official photos. But it seems a bit of a letdown in these live photos. Something not very modern at all. And again, a sedan/hatchback version of that wagon concept we saw 3 years ago. So it’s not even a new design at all. Is this for older… Continue reading VW ID.Aero Concept: live photos…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: new teaser…
Hyundai has released another teaser for the upcoming Ioniq 6 electric sedan. Again, nothing we haven’t really seen in the spy shots. And again, this is looking quite good so far…

2023 VW ID.Aero: new photos…
As you can see in these new photos, the upcoming VW ID. Aero is basically a sedan version of the 2019 ID Space Vizzion wagon concept. A nice-looking sedan, but after 3 years, the basic design is actually pretty conservative. It looks like something that could have been out for a few years already. The… Continue reading 2023 VW ID.Aero: new photos…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: another teaser…
Another small portion of the new 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 has been revealed today. This time, the rear bumper and part of the tail light. Of course, nothing as dramatic as the Prophecy concept. But still more original than most production cars out there.
