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.
Imagine the bustling streets of Europe, where something new appears among the usual SUVs – the Rivian R2. This 4.7-meter electric SUV from America is coming in 2026 to shake up the old continent. No more hulking R1T or R1S, which were too big for our roads. The R2 is like a little brother, adapted to European tastes: compact, powerful and full of technology. With a slight irony: startups like to promise mountains, but Rivian's technology is already impressing big players like Volkswagen. Will the R2 really be a game-changer, or just another electric fad? Let's see what it brings.
Almost a decade on the scene and still a gentleman in the front row. The Volvo XC90 Recharge T8 is facelifted, electrified and clearly in top form: quiet, fast and above all – calmly confident. After 1,250 km with it, I can say: I felt like a real gentleman.
Imagine a Jeep imbued with electric magic and enclosed in a spaceship-like cabin. That’s the Vanderhall Brawley GTS—the creation of the only Utah-based automotive company known for its sleek three-wheelers, now taking to the wilderness with 404 electric horsepower. If you think this is just another UTV, think again.
Have you ever imagined sitting in a car bigger than many apartments like you would in a luxury club, while electric motors catapult you forward faster than your last diet attempt? The third-generation NIO ES8 2025, officially unveiled on September 20, 2025 at the NIO Day event in Hangzhou, is here to convince you: China is no longer just a factory, but a laboratory for dreams on four wheels. If you thought electric SUVs were only for sandal-wearing environmentalists, this beast is waiting for you with a smile – and a punch of 520 kW of power. Ironic, right? At a time when everyone is talking about small electric vehicles, NIO says: “Let it be big!”
The 2026 Skoda Epiq is here to show how to make an affordable electric SUV that doesn't sacrifice style or practicality. Revealed at the Volkswagen Group workshop ahead of the IAA in Munich, the Epiq has already stolen some of the spotlight. But let's take a look at it with all the cynicism and excitement it deserves.
The Mercedes‑Benz GLC is Mercedes’ biggest hit – now battery-powered, with a new “iconic grille”, MB.OS brains and a 39.1‑inch HYPERSCREEN display across the entire dashboard. Does it sound like a concept? It’s not. It’s a series that will hit the roads from the end of 2026.
The Volkswagen ID. Cross is a near-series “electric T-Cross” on the new MEB+ platform. It promises 155 kW (211 PS/208 hp), up to 420 km WLTP (261 mi), 175 km/h (109 mph) and surprisingly plenty of space (450 l of boot space + 25 l in the front). Real buttons, simple ergonomics and materials that are more living room than laboratory are back in the spotlight.
