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is not because the petrol engine sucks, but because it was thrown out of sale in the European Union as if it were some outdated floppy disk.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”.
Before I reveal everything, rewind the text — to invite you into a dream. Imagine an SUV that smells of desert winds, mud and freedom — but is small enough not to struggle with parking spaces. Toyota is expected to reveal this vision on October 20, 2025, when the new Land Cruiser FJ will see the light of day — a “baby off-road hero” that aims to combine nostalgia and reality. Let’s set the scene: frontal view, robust line, high stance, a “warning character” look. But what are the numbers that support this character? Let’s go half with reality, half with ambition.
The Ford Bronco Sport is the “little brother” of the legendary Bronco that doesn’t just want to watch from the back – and now it has a shiny new game: the Bronze Package for the 2026 model year. And let’s face it, in a world where SUVs increasingly seem like restyled station wagons with a higher roof, the Bronco Sport clearly says with this package: “I’m still for action – and in style.”
The Geely Starray 2.0T AWD is like that unknown band that overshadows the main stars at a concert – seemingly modest, but once you get to know it, it amazes you. This Chinese C-SUV with 238 horses, top-notch equipment and a price that doesn't require selling a kidney, proves that Geely is no longer just a budget alternative, but a serious player. As someone who has driven a large part of the "current fleet" of cars on the road in recent years, I say: this car has a character of its own. Let's see why it is worth your time - reading this article - and maybe even considering buying it.
The updated Lynk & Co 01 (2025) brings a sharper design, more technology and an improved plug-in hybrid drive. In practice, it is a compact SUV with up to 75 kilometers of electric range, system power of 276 hp and 535 Nm of torque. With the More equipment version, it competes with the best in its class – the Volvo XC40, VW Tiguan and Toyota RAV4.
Imagine taking a Range Rover from the beginning of the millennium – the one that is already the king of luxury SUVs – and spinning it back to a time when cars still had souls, not just screens and sensors. Velvet Motorworks, the Estonian wizards behind the wheel, are doing just that: they've taken the third-generation (L322) and transformed it into something that breathes nostalgia but roars with modern power. The Range Rover Reimagined isn't just a restoration, it's a rebirth - with a bit of irony, because who would have thought that "old" would become the new trend? But hey, in a world where new SUVs are more like smartphones on wheels, that analog feel is a real treat. Get ready for a ride that will take you through the mud and down the highway without sacrificing style.
