I've always said that electric cars are like microwaves: efficient, fast, and soulless. You press a button and it's done. But something interesting just happened in Brussels. The Chinese, Zeekr to be exact, have thrown the Zeekr 7GT on the table. And lo and behold, they claim to have made a car for us dinosaurs who actually care about how the steering wheel behaves in a corner.
Electric mobility
Imagine walking into a restaurant, ordering the most expensive steak on the menu, and the waiter bringing you two, pouring truffles over them, and calculating the price of a warm sandwich. That's kind of the feeling you get with the new Zeekr 7X. This isn't just another electric car; it's a technological nod to the European automotive aristocracy. If you drive a German premium SUV, you might want to take a seat - the numbers that follow could cause a mild existential crisis. So here's my Zeekr 7X Privilege review.
Volvo used to be the choice of university geography professors who wore velour pullovers and only cared about crumple zones in life. The ride was safe, predictable and – let’s be honest – completely soulless. But forget that. The new 2027 Volvo EX60 is something else entirely. It’s a car that may have been built by a safety freak, but it was clearly given to an engineer who races motorbikes on the weekends. With 670 horsepower and technology that actually works, this is a machine that wants to save the reputation of electric vehicles. And it might even succeed.
Entry into the world of electric mobility was once reserved for eccentric millionaires and tech enthusiasts who enjoyed the smell of leather and silence. Today? Today, for 39,990 euros (or a subsidized 34,000 euros with a subsidy), you get a ticket to this club, but through the back door. This is the new Tesla Model Y Standard RWD. A car that has lost some of its luster to become "people-friendly", but in the process has become perhaps Elon Musk's most sincere product. Is this just a Tesla Semi in the guise of a passenger car, ready for 400,000 kilometers of suffering, or a stroke of genius?. Buckle up, because we're going to check whether it's possible to enjoy a car that wears jeans on the dashboard.
Let's face it, RVs have always been the automotive equivalent of that relative you have to invite to your wedding but secretly hope they get sick. They're slow, clunky, white boxes that cause traffic jams on the highway and look like they were last designed in 1978. But Honda, the company that gave us the best lawnmowers, F1 engines, and that weird Motocompacto folding scooter, has decided enough is enough. They've introduced the Honda Base Station. And guess what? For the first time in my life, I want to hook up a trailer to a hitch.
For 62 thousand, you get a technological "blitzkrieg" that accelerates faster than you think and drives better than the competition. But beware: this car will tell you to your face that you are actually... redundant as a driver. This is the Tesla Model Y Performance (Juniper) 2026.
Most electric cars these days look like smooth soaps that were pulled too quickly from the wind tunnel. The Kia EV2 is different. It's bold, adorably boxy, and full of character. But before you fall completely in love with its Lego face, take a look at its back. We need to have a serious talk about this.
Let's face it, Lexus is a brand for people who order room temperature water at a restaurant. They're reliable, comfortable, and as quiet as a librarian in slippers. But every now and then, something strange happens in the basement of a Toyota factory. Engineers apparently break into the sake cabinet, watch too many episodes of "The Fast and the Furious," and create something that makes no sense at all, but is also absolutely fantastic. Introducing the Lexus RZ 600e F SPORT Performance. A car that looks like it wants to beat your Tesla on the school playground. And guess what? It might even succeed.
Porsche has announced a drop in profits. And not the kind of "statistical error" drop, but the kind that sets off alarms in boards of directors and quiet panic among shareholders. They may be drinking tranquilizers in Stuttgart, but the real trauma is actually taking place in Slovenian living rooms. Why? Because for the average Slovenian, Germany is still the promised land. It is our industrial "Father", our model of order, discipline and engineering superiority. If Porsche falls, if the symbol of German power falls, then our worldview is also shaken.
Most electric cars have the charisma of a white-goods car. They're efficient, quiet, and save the planet, but when you step on the gas, you feel like you're driving a very expensive hand blender. Boring. And then there's Mate Rimac. A man who looked at the laws of physics, frowned, and said, "No thanks." The Rimac Nevera R Founder's Edition is not a car. It's an engineering excess wrapped in carbon fiber, designed solely to make rich people scream in horror and delight at the same time.
The selection for the Slovenian Car of the Year is a special event every year, a kind of Slovenian Oscar, except that the audience is smaller and the catering is more homely. When I looked at the list of five finalists for 2026 – Audi A5, Dacia Bigster, Hyundai Inster, KIA EV3 and Renault 5 – I asked myself: Is this really the pinnacle of engineering or have we simply become dangerously undemanding? Here is an analysis without any fluff. I have scoured the dark corners of the internet, checked the facts and I will be completely direct. This is a record that importers may not print and frame, but you must read it. So - Slovenian Car of the Year 2026.
If you think car designers are just quiet artists in black suits drawing lines in the basement, you're wrong. At least not in the case of Gorden Wagener. He was a rock star. The man who took Mercedes' hat off and put on its sunglasses. But on January 31, 2026, that era is coming to an end. After 28 years and countless scratches on the clay (and probably on the egos of his competitors), Gorden Wagener is leaving Stuttgart.
