At that time, with a 3.5-liter ecoboost V6 gasoline engine that develops over 600 hp, it will compete with such super sportsmen as the Ferrari 458 Italia, and in appearance, also the Lamborghini Aventador. But it will greatly surpass both in terms of price.
25 years after the launch of the original Honda NSX, Honda is ready to turn over a new leaf. Namely, buyers on the other side of the Atlantic will soon be offered a modern reincarnation of this sports icon of the 1990s, which shocked the world and the automotive competition upon its arrival on the market.
In the flood of new sub-segments, this time the Swedes surprised with a new one. Namely, they upgraded their limousine and added off-road reinforcements to it and sent it off-road.

The Toyota aygo brings a lot of freshness and color to the segment of urban toddlers, as well as above-average equipment that even models a size larger would not be able to resist. Thanks to the new chassis, the little one now drives much better, which brings out even more the bouncy three-cylinder engine, which is most at home in the city, and it doesn't even defend the highways. It's just too close to the yaris in terms of price.

Nissan brought the new generation of the off-road capable x-Trail closer to the Qashqai, losing a little in terms of sharpness, but gaining a lot in terms of fashion and performance.

The X4 is the continuation of the story with the X6, with which BMW opened a new sub-segment of a crossover between an SUV and a sports coupe and now extends this concept to the mid-size class. Compared to its bigger brother, it has a few less noses, but it's still a feast for the eyes, and considering the similar spaciousness and usability, I would definitely prefer the first one.

That's why we got it for testing by a specialist for the import of used vehicles to Slovenia - Autoborker.
