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?
SUV
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.
Toyota has revealed the Corolla Cross Hybrid Nasu Edition concept at the 2025 SEMA Show – a hybrid that has grown tired of city streets and set off for Mount Nasu. The result? A purple, raised and much more adventurous face for Toyota’s most successful compact.
The Volvo XC60 has long been the king of Swedish roads – the brand’s best-selling model, winning hearts with its blend of elegance and practicality. But the competition is not sleeping: the BMW X3, Mercedes GLC and Audi Q5 are fresh and razor-sharp. Can the updated XC60, with its new look, improved interior and hybrid heart, still keep up? Let’s dive into the details and find out if this Swedish SUV is still in the running for the throne – and why it’s still one of my favorites.
Porsche Macan. Once an honest petrol crossover that smashed the roads with the roar of a six-cylinder, now – BZZZ! – an electric beast that is overtaking its fossil brother in sales this year. And this is not because the petrol engine sucks, but because it was thrown out of sale in the European Union as if it were some outdated floppy disk. Brussels bureaucrats have apparently decided: "Petrol? This is for grandfathers!" Well, the petrol Macan will soon be over in the rest of the world too – it is retiring in 2026. Porsche is already cooking up a new crossover with an internal combustion engine, but this one will have a different name and will keep us waiting until 2028. Until then, electric sweets are flying from Zuffenhausen, and the new Porsche Macan GTS is the sweetest of them all.
Who says SUVs can't swim? China's Jetour Zongheng G700 crossed the mighty Yangtze River in 22 minutes with its amphibious technology, showing the world that it's not just another metal object on four wheels.
Get your tissues ready, SUV lovers, because Toyota has finally revealed its new 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ – the cute little “baby” off-roader we’ve all been waiting for. And then… of course, we won’t get it. At least not in America or Europe, where our off-road appetites are clearly too big or too “premium” for this cute SUV.
The Leapmotor D19 is not just another electric SUV. It is China's answer to the question no one dared to ask: what if you combined the power of a supercar, the luxury of a sedan, and an oxygen generator for high-altitude adventures? With a length of over 5 meters, a range of 720 km, and acceleration that would put many a race car to shame, the D19 promises to be a revolution. Is this the future or just another bold Chinese fairy tale? Let's step on the gas and find out!
Jaecoo 5 – a Chinese crossover with boutique looks and outlet prices. Available as a 1.6-turbo petrol or as an E5 electric with a ~61 kWh battery. Below: design, technology, real-world ranges, prices and whether this is really a “mini Range Rover for mortals”.
