The Avatr 07 is the new hero of the Chinese electric SUV market, coming from the star trio of Changan, CATL and Huawei. Yes, you read that right – this car has more in common with your smartphone than with your uncle’s diesel Passat. It is available in pure electric (BEV) and extended range hybrid (EREV) versions, and it is priced very confidently – from 219,900 CNY (about 29,000 €), which is almost tastelessly affordable in the “premium SUV with massage seats” class. And it aims high: the competition includes names like Tesla Model Y, Nio ES6 and BYD Tang. Feeling threatened? Maybe you should.
The new generation Jeep Compass 2026 is here and – surprisingly or not – it brings the most that this compact SUV has ever offered. It will be available in different drive flavors: from a mild hybrid for urban adventurers to an electric model for quiet but determined eco-fighters. In the electric version with a 74 kWh battery, front-wheel drive and a range of up to 500 kilometers (according to WLTP), the price will start at € 50,400 – and that's for the First Edition version. Yes, so it's not an ascetic basic version, but a model that is already specifically equipped.
