While critics write obituaries, Tesla is making profits that its competitors can only dream of without advertising and with a "toxic" boss. If the headlines of business newspapers in 2025 were written solely by the editors' feelings, you would probably think that Elon Musk is currently begging for change on the corner of a factory in Berlin, while the CEOs of Volkswagen and BYD drive by in golden carriages. The narrative is clear: "Tesla is old, Tesla is stagnant, Tesla is finished." But Tesla 2025 is officially the biggest miracle in the automotive industry 2025.

Let's be honest. The automotive industry has become a bit... depressed in recent years. All the manufacturers are competing to make the angriest, heaviest, most expensive electric behemoth that takes up as much space on the road as a small studio apartment. And then there's Citroën. The brand that is apparently the only one that still drinks real wine during lunch breaks. They've introduced the Citroën ELO. It's not a car. It's a mobile living room that devoured a McLaren F1 and decided to live in a Decathlon. And you know what? It's absolutely fantastic.
In the name of aerodynamics and range, all-electric SUVs have started to resemble bars of soap that you left in the bathtub for too long. And just when we thought BMW had scooped up all the cream with the new iX3 Neue Klasse (which was unveiled just a month earlier!), Mercedes threw a brick at the table. But what a brick! The new Mercedes-Benz GLB is square, proud, and looks like a scaled-down GLS that just came out of the gym. It's a car for those who want electric but don't want to look like they're driving a space capsule. And to be honest, with its new platform and crazy specs, it threatens to steal the Bavarians' lunch before they can even unwrap it.
Volkswagen is at a turning point. After several years of searching for an identity in the electric age, criticism of the software and ergonomic slippages in the interior, it seems that the German giant is returning to what it has always done best: making cars for people. In sunny Portugal, the Volkswagen ID. Cross 2026 concept was revealed to selected eyes – a car that promises to correct the mistakes of the past.
Everyone is shouting about a revolution. YouTubers are swooning over the charging curves. But let's be honest - when you walk up to this car in person, when you actually see it without studio lights and filters, something unexpected happens. Nothing. Your heart rate stays steady. Instead of being overwhelmed by a sense of German dominance, you are overwhelmed by a strange "déjà vu". Doesn't it all seem a bit too... Peugeot? The BMW iX3 Neue Klasse is a monster on paper, but in reality it may just be proof that "premium" is no longer what it used to be.
Elon Musk is like that friend who is always late for dinner, but when he finally arrives, he brings the best wine. It's November 2025. The year that, according to our spring predictions at City Magazine, was supposed to be a breakthrough year for "baby Tesla" is coming to an end. Let's remember: in March, we wrote that the "Model Q" (or Model 2, or even Model 1, as we affectionately called it in May) would hit the roads in June. What did we get? A cheaper Model 3 and a bunch of new promises about robotaxis. But don't be disappointed. Everything suggests that the delay was a tactical move of genius - or just chaos in Texas. Either way, 2026 is the year.
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.
Concept cars are like haute couture in the automotive world: we may never drive them, but we enjoy admiring them and pretending to understand aerodynamics. The year 2025 has brought a veritable parade of studies that mix futuristic powertrains, wild proportions, retro inspiration and technologies that sound like they're straight out of science fiction. We've rounded up the most interesting, most extravagant and most "if they actually made this, I'd sell my kidney" concepts of 2025. So 20+ car concepts of 2025.
The Genesis Magma GT Concept looks like engineers took a Koenigsegg, sent it through a Korean aesthetics course, and gave it a racing license. This is no longer just an ambition—it's the start of a serious foray into the world of GT supercars. And yes, they mean business.
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.
When Porsche unveils a new model, the world usually goes into ecstasy – forums explode, journalists gasp, and the whole thing feels like a well-orchestrated commercial for German engineering and automotive science. This time, however, the scene is a bit different. The Porsche Cayenne Electric has taken the internet by storm, but not necessarily for the reasons Zuffenhausen would like. First impressions – from both people who saw the car at the event and journalists who have already sat in it – are a mix of excitement, amazement, and that familiar “why did they do it like that?” feeling that we’ve come to associate more with Tesla than Porsche lately.
Ever thought a Chinese newcomer would beat a German veteran on his own turf? The Zeekr 7X AWD Performance and the Porsche Cayenne Electric AWD are two large electric SUVs that promise family comfort with a dash of adrenaline. One costs as much as a solid weekend at the seaside, the other as much as a luxury villa – but both will take you into a zero-emission future. With Porsche’s new Cayenne Electric unveiled today, November 19, 2025, it’s time for a fair comparison. Get ready for a mix of speed, irony and that “aha” moment when you realize that cheap isn’t always bad. So – Zeekr 7X AWD Performance vs. Porsche Cayenne Electric.
