The BMW X4 is saying goodbye, but don't mourn it too soon. Here comes the BMW iX4, built on the Neue Klasse platform, promising 345 kW of power, futuristic design, and that signature Bavarian arrogance we all secretly love.

Land Rover has a relationship with the Dakar that resembles those long-running romances where everyone pretends to “get serious for once”. Range Rovers reigned supreme in the heyday of the Paris-Dakar Rally, and then decades of typical British tinkering followed: some factory support, some heroic privateers, some touching Race2Recovery stories… but never that grand, uncompromising comeback. This time - the Land Rover Defender D7X-R - the vehicle to win its category.
While German pride never seems to sleep, Audi has apparently decided that in China, it's better to "if you can't beat them, join them." In collaboration with Chinese car giant SAIC, a new, locally focused car brand has been created with the least original name ever - AUDI. And yes, it's written in capital letters. No legendary four circles. No nostalgia. No mercy. and its second model, the AUDI E SUV.
The Volkswagen T-Roc 2025 has been a real European phenomenon in recent years – in Germany it exceeded 75,000 registrations last year and anchored itself in second place in VW's sales rankings. In the compact SUV segment, it has become the "safe choice", which has never surprised, but never disappointed. The new model, however, already at first glance suggests a different story. It is more grown-up, technologically much more ambitious, and above all, more expensive.
Someone at Hyundai has clearly been watching too much “Mad Max” while simultaneously listening to ambient Lo-Fi beats from the future. The result? The Hyundai Crater – an electric SUV that looks like a cross between a space rover and a digital transformer. But be warned – this isn’t just another SUV that wants to be an “SUV”. This is a machine that doesn’t play around. Well, except with our emotions.
Americans have a special relationship with large SUVs. They are not just cars – they are mobile living rooms, mini-weekends on wheels and safe bubbles for anyone who wants to travel far, comfortably and without drama. The Nissan Pathfinder is one of those models that has understood this philosophy for decades. Since its launch in the 80s, when it drove more like a boxy SUV from an action movie, it has entered the modern era through evolution: increasingly refined, increasingly digitalized, but still ready to get off the road if life demands it.
Think back to 2022 – when Jeep first hinted that it was working on an electric SUV. Back then, we raised our eyebrows in skepticism, but today we can safely say: The Recon 2026 is here and ready to redefine the concept of "Trail Rated". And without the noise of the engine. Because who says you can't conquer the off-road without disturbing the squirrels at the same time?
Who would have thought that even a legend like the Toyota Hilux could experience its own electric renaissance with the 2026 Toyota Hilux? Yes, you read that right—the pick-up that even the military can’t destroy will now get an electric drive. But don’t worry, the diesel and petrol engines remain, because let’s be honest, who would dare to retire the old school completely?
When you think of a family SUV, you probably don't picture glamour. Then along comes the new 2027 Kia Telluride, hitting the red carpet in Los Angeles and politely reminding you that it can wear a tent and a tie at the same time. And it does it very well.
If Volvo and Range Rover had a child who was educated in China and spoke fluent English with a Swedish accent, it would probably be the Lynk & Co 08. A plug-in hybrid SUV that is emerging in Europe as a new branch of the Geely family – the same group that also owns Volvo and Zeekr. And yes, Lynk & Co is here to shake up established European ideas about what premium means. And what a plug-in hybrid can be. So the Lynk & Co 08 test.
If you've been hearing less noise in Ljubljana in recent days, it's not the fault of the security guard - it's Zeekr. Today, November 5, 2025, it officially enters the Slovenian market with the trio X, 001 and 7X, and sales will be handled by partner SEEAG. Premium tone, Scandinavian flavor, Chinese pace. Fasten your seatbelts.
What do you get when you cross an American SUV, Japanese motorsport, and a few hefty spoonfuls of testosterone? You get Dune Patrol – an Armada that would rather book its summer vacation in the Sahara than the Adriatic.
