http://youtu.be/BZPgltdiQtw Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe review “Relaxing to drive but infuriating to operate, the CLE is an old-school coupe spoiled by poorly integrated tech” Good stuff Unfussy styling, serenely smooth and quiet to cruise in Bad stuff Interior is crying out for common sense buttons. Not as satisfying to drive as a BMW 4 Series What is it? A realisation from Mercedes that it was making too many cars that did the same job. A few years ago, if you wanted a Mercedes that comfortably seated two (and occasionally four) people but were allergic to the sensible charms of a C-Class, then you could choose from a CLA/CLA Shooting Brake, a C-Class Coupe, a CLS or an E-Class Coupe. And that’s before you factor in the chopped-back SUVs, like the GLC Coupe. Yuck. So the CLE Coupe is...

http://youtu.be/cwuWVDTm6Vo Lotus Eletre review “Though this isn’t a familiar Lotus, the Eletre is a very competent attempt at applying Lotus philosophy to a seemingly incongruous product” Good stuff Steering, body control, the way it disguises weight, interior and tech Bad stuff Endless noise about not being a ‘proper’ Lotus, initial brake pedal grabbiness, annoying ADAS What is it? Mildly controversial in the intellectual bin fire of social media, this. Mainly because ‘this’ is the new Lotus Eletre, and it is essentially everything the internet thinks a Lotus should not be; an electric SUV with fat skeins of technology woven through it. It’s also produced in Wuhan, China, which seems to provoke a strange kind of wrinkle in some people’s foreheads that suggests this final piece of ...

http://youtu.be/5FW30q65fT8 Thank you: The first Chinese car center "Moscow-Tianya" https://t.me/auto_china_group https://auto-china.group/ Avatr 12 launched in China with 578 hp for 41,265 USD The Avatr 12 electric hatchback from Changan, Huawei, and CATL launched in China. It is available in three trim levels, starting at 300,800 yuan (41,265 USD). It has up to 578 hp, a 700-km range, 27 speakers, and an air suspension. Avatr was initially founded by Changan New Energy and Nio in 2018. Later, Nio distanced from the JV due to financial reasons. CATL replaced it in the joint project. Changan owns 40% of the shares, while CATL holds over 17%. The rest belongs to various investment funds. In this project, Huawei acts as the leading supplier. Currently, Avatr’s model line comprises two m...

http://youtu.be/Zd5Nah_uv3Q Thanks: 3D Rental Car https://www.instagram.com/3drentalcar/ https://home.mobile.de/3DRENTALCARGMBH 2024 Ferrari Purosangue Starting at $398.350 Highs: Thundering V-12 power, nicely balanced ride and handling, one of the most exclusive SUVs on sale today. Lows: Complex set of controls integrated into the steering wheel, funky rear-door handle isn't that intuitive, one of the most expensive SUVs on sale today. Verdict: The Purosangue is the performance SUV that only Ferrari could build and its performance capabilities speak for themselves. Overview We never thought we'd see the day when a Ferrari SUV became a reality, but in the wake of many successful high-dollar, high-performance sport-utes the company has finally caved to unrelenting marketpla...

http://youtu.be/OBE9zuFpIG4 Thanks: 3D Rental Car https://www.instagram.com/3drentalcar/ https://home.mobile.de/3DRENTALCARGMBH Porsche Panamera review “The forgotten Porsche gets modernised. You shouldn't forget it” Good stuff Amazing active suspension, well-integrated hybrid powertrain, style Bad stuff Rear is tight for adults, base V6 not very quick What is it? Here's a new generation of the Porsche Panamera. As before it's a slinky-looking front-engined sports car with space for four adults, and a decent hatchback boot. What's new is a body redesign and an astonishing active – not adaptive, active – suspension system on the Turbo E-Hybrid. Is it just us or is the Panamera a car that's unfairly ignored? It's surely the last car anyone thinks of when playing word-association wit...

http://youtu.be/Qy6X9DtKEQo BMW i5 M60 review: quite simply the best electric M car yet What have we got here then? This is a 593bhp amuse-bouche; a 605lb ft canape served before the supper and pudding combo that is the fully new, partially hybrid M5 and M5 Touring due in 2024. Launched alongside the standard i5 exec saloon, the M60 is - for now - the most agitating 5 Series you can lay your hands on. Not that it comes across as an outer lane bully, actually. Dare I say it, this is one of BMW’s less controversial recent designs; certainly it’s the most sorted of the electric M car litter. Remember you’ve got the i4 M50 (weird nose), i7 M70 (squinty headlights) and iX M60 (just no) sharing the stable… No, this is a BMW that’s comfortable in its own skin, which means you won’t be red in...

http://youtu.be/1Ga9Z5-y6OY Thanks: 3D Rental Car https://www.instagram.com/3drentalcar/ https://home.mobile.de/3DRENTALCARGMBH Mercedes-Benz E-Class review “A fine, relaxing executive saloon. Provided you’re able to ignore the distracting tech. And coarse four cylinder engine” Good stuff Supremely quiet, composed road manners, so comfy you’ll want to park it in your living room Bad stuff Harsh four cylinder engine, spongy brakes, tech often overwhelming, no air suspension for UK, price What is it? It’s the sixth-generation Mercedes E-Class saloon. Or not, if you want to be pedantic and include the 50-odd years of Merc’s ‘upper mid-range’ history before the E-Class name was coined. In which case you’re looking at more than 16 million sales and a longer origin story than some religi...

http://youtu.be/DCLJC6zmdn0 Thanks: Honda Plaza Marmara https://www.instagram.com/hondamarmaraplaza/ https://www.marmarahonda.com/ 2024 Honda Civic Type R Starting at $45.890 Highs: An absolute grip gorilla, fiery turbo four-cylinder, buttery shift action. Lows: Tiny fuel tank, suffers from loud road noise, very few options. Verdict: The Civic Type R pairs well with track days, short commutes, and childhood tuner-car dreams. Overview Fun is what the Honda Civic Type R feasts on. Intended as much for storming race tracks as for road driving, this heavily dramatized version of the standard Civic hatchback is offered exclusively with a raucous 315-hp turbocharged inline-four and six-speed manual transmission. On our test track, the CTR threw down mighty levels of grip, stickin...

Lows: Not as cargo-friendly as competitors, rear-seat headroom is tight for adults, requires deep pockets to obtain. Verdict: Porsche's sports-car spirit meets family practicality in the Macan GTS. Overview Once a niche automaker catering exclusively to sports-car buyers, Porsche has reinvented itself over the past few decades by practically pioneering the performance SUV niche. The 2024 Macan GTS is a perfect example of how Porsche has applied its sports-car formula to a high-riding hatchback crossover. A twin-turbo V-6 ...

http://youtu.be/mTUbuYDO_uw Thanks: BigTimeAuto https://www.instagram.com/bigtimeauto_club/ http://t.me/bigtimeauto_club Zeekr 001 FR entered Chinese market with 1,247 hp. Priced at 105,100 USD The Zeekr 001 FR launched in China for 769,000 yuan (105,100 USD). It is a 1.247-hp liftback from Geely Group. Its zero-to-hundred acceleration time reaches 2.37 seconds.

http://youtu.be/0lcLtOhCsdE Thanks: VAMOS https://www.instagram.com/vamoscars https://vamos.sahibinden.com/ 2025 BMW i5 Starting at $68.000 est Highs: Satisfyingly quick, blends comfort and sport adroitly, posh interior. Lows: Less driving range than key rivals, infotainment tech is borderline complicated, less trunk space than gas 5-series sedan. Verdict: The i5 offers everything that makes the 5-series appealing and adds punchy EV powertrains and well-honed driving chops. Overview BMW's been selling a 5-series luxury sedan for decades, but this latest generation is the first to spawn an all-electric variant called i5. The 2025 i5 offers much the same driving experience as its gasoline-powered sibling, meaning it's a comfortable and cossetting car with a taste of BMW's ...

http://youtu.be/PhXyp7Ud45I Thanks: 3D Rental Car https://www.instagram.com/3drentalcar/ https://home.mobile.de/3DRENTALCARGMBH 2024 Bentley Bentayga Starting at $205.925 Highs: The heady smell of the leather, the prestige that comes standard, the silken whoosh from both the hybrid and V-8. Lows: Aside from the grille, the styling is too generic-SUV, standard model skimps on rear-seat legroom. Verdict: The Bentayga is different from other Bentleys in that it takes the form of an SUV but the ultimate luxury experience that the brand is known for is alive and well here. Overview These days even legacy luxury automakers like Bentley need an SUV in their stable, and the 2024 Bentayga doesn't skimp on the ultimate posh experience that the brand's Continental GT and Flying Spur...

http://youtu.be/IJD6n7uTaJ8 Thank you: The first Chinese car center "Moscow-Tianya" https://t.me/auto_china_group https://auto-china.group/ Avatr 11: A 570-HP Electric SUV from China with Huawei Software and Motors China's electric vehicle market continues to expand with the arrival of Avatr, a new player in the industry. Created through a collaboration between Changan Automobile, CATL, and Huawei, Avatr aims to make a splash with its first production model, the Avatr 11.

Additionally, you can watch the 12-minute video review on Wheelsboy's YouTube channel, providing an in-depth look at this remarkable electric SUV. Let's start with the pr...

http://youtu.be/-DYkuIBsWzs Thanks: 3D Rental Car https://www.instagram.com/3drentalcar/ https://home.mobile.de/3DRENTALCARGMBH 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre Starting at $422.750 Highs: Absolutely silent inside, highest level of fit and finish, makes the same high-end statement as gas-powered Rolls-Royces. Lows: Less driving range than other high-dollar EVs, road manners a bit on the floaty side, sharp impacts aren't entirely erased by the suspension. Verdict: Rolls-Royce's first EV is a spectacular one, and proof that even the worlds most luxurious cars are capable of eco-friendly motoring. Overview Rolls-Royce is taking its ultimate-luxury ethos to a new realm with the all-electric 2024 Spectre coupe. James Bond probably wouldn't toast the new model with one of his shaken-no...

http://youtu.be/4g3HojbaQ5Q Thanks: Carmix Motors Etiler https://www.instagram.com/carmix_motors/reels/ http://www.carmixmotors.com/ https://carmixmotors.sahibinden.com/ Highs: Dramatic arrivals and departures are standard, serenity-now cabin environment, endless customization possibilities. Lows: So nice to ride in you might prefer it over your jet, finding a good chauffer is so hard these days. Verdict: The Phantom makes the ultimate luxury statement—and then has the temerity to live up to it. Overview No automobile shouts the presence of Old Money louder than the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Its massive size, stately proportions, and imperious upright grille—topped with the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament—make a statement that passersby can't look away from as they wonder who mi...

Lows: Adding luxury items drives the price way up, big wheels create a flinty ride, touchy brakes. Verdict: Over the years, the Cayenne has turned from a Porsche enthusiast's nightmare—incorrectly symbolizing the end of brand's sports-car era—to a respected performance SUV. Overview Leaning on its decades-long legacy of sports car manufacturing, Porsche imbues each of its vehicles—including SUVs like the 2024 Cayenne—with a fun-to-drive nature that's hard for rivals to match. Although the Cayenne is a mi...

http://youtu.be/qL_-QQb16Tc Thanks: Fantazy Cars https://auto-china.group/ https://t.me/auto_china_group The Yangwang U8 is a 1,184bhp plug-in hybrid SUV that can float on water BYD’s posh sub-brand unveils the U8 Premium Edition in China. Will do 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds (on land) Earlier this year we brought you news of the Yangwang U9 – an all-electric Chinese supercar that used its fancy suspension tech to bunny hop and drive safely on just three wheels. At the time we thought that was the most bonkers thing we’d see all year, but now we’re welcoming the Yangwang U8 to the world. The second car to be shown off by BYD’s posh sub-brand, the U8 is an electric SUV that uses four motors – one for each wheel – and some very fancy independent torque vectoring to put 1,184bhp down on the r...

http://youtu.be/xcrJI-Brxw0 Thanks: Ava Gmbh Moscow https://www.instagram.com/ava_gmbh_moscow/ https://avagmbh.ru/ https://t.me/ava_gmbh_moscow 2024 Audi Q8 Starting at $74.895 Highs: Delivers an entertaining driving experience, cozy as a couch, high-end interior. Lows: Some stumbles in city driving, sporty shape cuts down on cargo space, not the most fuel-efficient of SUV offerings. Verdict: As the more stylish take on the three-row Q7, the Q8's smooth ride adds some cool factor. Overview With smooth styling with a ride to match, the two-row Audi Q8 is a dramatized version of the boxier Q7 three-row SUV. They both use the same solid underpinnings, including a turbocharged 335-hp V-6 engine, eight-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive, but the Q8's starting price is signific...

http://youtu.be/BmBHCQMgfH0 Thanks: Öztorun Oto Kocaeli | Sakarya https://www.instagram.com/oztorunoto http://www.oztorun.com/ 2024 BMW X2 First Look: Second Time’s a Charm? The second-generation BMW X2 gets a more sculpted, coupe-like look, more power, and more space. BMW has just revealed the latest BMW X2, the sporty coupe-like SUV that we've enjoyed (mostly) in its previous generation. The X2 has been a sporty hot hatchback inside a rakish SUV wrapper, with all the good and bad that entails. But one thing it didn't really have was the "coupe-UV" roofline, like its larger stablemate the X6 that co-inaugurated a much-analyzed sub-segment of SUV. The 2024 BMW X2, seen here in hotter M35i guise, changes all that. BMW has just revealed the latest BMW X2, the sporty coupe-like SUV that ...

Lows: Harsh ride on 23-inch wheels, hard-to-swallow price tag, first year models are by invitation only. Verdict: The Range Rover Sport SV is a high-dollar, high-power performance SUV that still lives up to the Land Rover brand's off-road ethos. Overview Leaving the former 575-hp Range Rover Sport SVR in the dust, the all-wheel-drive Range Rover Sport SV is the most powerful Rover ever. Its 626-hp twin-turbo V-8 is like using fighter jets on a fox hunt. Good fo...

http://youtu.be/bELjWaNqV1A Thanks: PRESTİJ GRUP https://www.instagram.com/prestijgrubu/ www.prestijgrubu.com.tr BMW i5 review What is it? Do you really need to ask? This is the eighth generation of the BMW 5 Series, the car its creators believe to be the world’s most beloved business saloon. With 10 million sold since the first iteration arrived in 1972, they might be right. The landscape is very different now though. Not least because electric cars are slowly but surely taking over. As such, the new 5 Series launches as the i5, fitted with BMW’s fifth generation e-Drive technology and touting all the radar, sensors and cameras that constitute a car these days. A mild hybrid entry car brings up the rear, with PHEVs coming in 2024. That puts it directly up against the Mercedes EQE and...

http://youtu.be/J9rPgUu9S44 Thanks: Hongqi Russia https://www.hongqi.ru https://www.instagram.com/hongqi_rus/ https://t.me/russia_hongqi Hongqi H9 Review The car you see is the Hongqi H9, a flagship luxury sedan that is packed with features and is out to change people’s opinions about Chinese luxury. For those of you who aren’t quite aware of Hongqi, it is a brand that is associated with a lot of prestige, as it is the oldest Chinese passenger car maker in the world. Now that you’ve got an idea of what we are dealing with, let’s jump right in. Drive Here in the UAE, the Hongqi H9 is available with two engine options: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 248 horsepower and a more powerful 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine that produces 279 horsepower. Our test car ...

http://youtu.be/mOzVxnfShmY Thanks: Kia Aldatmaz https://www.instagram.com/kiaaldatmaz https://aldatmaz.com.tr/kategori/1/kia 2024 Kia EV9 Starting at $56.395 Highs: Three usable rows of seating, attractive entry price, decent driving range. Lows: Base model comes with a smaller battery, single-motor performance will be poky, still not a great option for buyers who need to tow frequently. Verdict: The EV9 is one of the first true family-friendly EV options, and based on first impressions, it's looking like a slam dunk. Overview Going all-electric isn't just for sedans, pickups, and small SUVs anymore. The three-row EV9 SUV, which is about the same size as the current gas-only Telluride, shares its platform with the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 7. The EV9 comes in rear- or all-wh...

http://youtu.be/ZeOdu_Vl8bU Thanks: MB Lukavto https://www.instagram.com/mb_lukavto https://mb-lukavto.ru/ Overview The Urus is Lamborghini's second SUV, following the "Rambo Lambo" LM002, but it's not exactly a purebred Italian. It rides on the same platform as other elegant beasts of burden such as the Audi Q7, Q8, Porsche Cayenne, and the Bentley Bentayga. Even the 657-hp twin-turbo V-8 is made in Germany before getting shipped to Sant'Agata Bolognese, where the Urus is assembled. An upcoming hybrid powertrain will double down on the Urus's saddle of electronics. From its eight-speed automatic transmission to its Torsen center differential and torque-vectoring rear diff, the Urus is the most advanced mechanical bull around. What's New for 2024? Lamborghini doesn't change much for th...

Lows: Big box design isn't elegant from every angle, neither powertrain is particularly efficient, all this luxury comes at a price. Verdict: The GLS-class is what family transit looks like for the well-to-do. Overview Whether you're shuttling your heirs to boarding school or hauling home a restock of your wine cellar, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS-class SUV has the space and refinement for such duties. While GLS450 models come with a smooth-running 375-hp turbocharged inline-six, badge snobs will want to go for the more pow...

Lows: Tall folks may feel pinched in the back seat, the hot V-8 engine is an expensive option, steering lacks road feel. Verdict: The 8-series Gran Coupe offers plenty of presence to augment its turbo muscle. Overview BMW didn't invent the four-door coupe body style, but its 2024 8-series Gran Coupe is one of the best-looking examples we can think of. Its flowing lines and dramatic fastback roofline cut an elegant silhouette whether it's cruising or parked. A silky-smooth turbocharged six-cylinder engine is standard,...

http://youtu.be/UiDVJxCso_M 2024 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Starting at $199.450 Highs: Hypebeast-meets-aristocrat vibe, silky turbocharged powertrains, practically floats down the road. Lows: Not as recognizable as a Rolls-Royce, massive markup over the standard S-class, V-12 engine guzzles gas like a pickup truck. Verdict: As the ultimate Mercedes sedan, the Maybach S-class out-luxes everything else in the brand's portfolio—and well it should at this asking price. Overview Billionaire buyers looking for the ultimate in luxury will find the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach S-class a sedan fit for their regal routines. Based on the Benz-branded S-class, the Maybach version turns luxury all the way up and features interior materials that put it squarely in the same class with high-dollar...
