The Volkswagen ID.7 was originally conceived as a futuristic electric flagship. Elegant, bold, progressive. But photos of the 2026 model, which have surfaced through Slovenian dealers and configurators, reveal an unexpectedly different story. They show a vehicle that is not necessarily a classic "facelift", but a price-optimized version of the ID.7 Limited, which surprises - and even confuses - with its more conservative design.

Chinese brands, which were considered exotic “wannabe” players not so long ago, are now seriously threatening the European giants with price, technology and comfort. And no – this is no longer just a TikTok sensation. Chinese SUVs are breaking the European rules of the game!
The new Renault Twingo E-Tech isn't perfect, but it's magical – in that French way that makes you laugh and a little angry at the same time.
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.
Plug-in hybrids, better known as PHEVs, should be the ideal compromise between an electric and a conventional car – something like the automotive version of "having my cake and eating it too". But unfortunately, many owners use them more like a petrol vehicle with a bonus battery, which they charge less often than their smartphone from 2012. And because this results in significantly higher emissions than promised, Germany is considering putting an end to this half-and-half use. The solution? A car that loses power if you don't charge it regularly. Yep, you read that right.
Car safety – that thing we all praise until the bill comes. In 2025, Euro NCAP showed us again that it’s not all about flashy logos. While some old cats are still skimping on sensors, newcomers from the East are proving that safety can be affordable. And compared to last year, the picture is even more amusing – or tragic, depending on which car you drive.
Imagine an electric SUV with the heart of a rocket, futuristic technology, and a price tag you'd expect from an old hatchback - the Leapmotor C10 with its 800-volt architecture is here to shake up the world.
Lexus, that Japanese master of understated luxury that has always managed to balance tradition with a touch of madness, is now venturing into the wild waters of an identity crisis. But hey, if it's a crisis, let it last—at least long enough to get futuristic toys like this "coupe" that has four doors and the heart of an electric nomad.
New Toyota Corolla Concept: When the class queen finally gets serious (and then goes a little crazy)
If someone had told you a decade ago that the Toyota Corolla would one day look like a space cruiser on steroids, you would have probably rolled your eyes. But here we are – 2025 is upon us, and Toyota is clearly serious. Meet the Toyota Corolla Concept, a car that erases memories of the old model as easily as it erases beliefs about what the Corolla can (and should) be.
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.
Cars have become smartphones on wheels? Twenty years ago, you bought a BMW so you could say you had a BMW. You started the engine, the sound boomed, the neighbors sighed. Today? Customers are talking about kilowatt hours. About whether the car has a 400-volt or 800-volt architecture. And about how many kilometers you get in fifteen minutes of charging. No one asks how it drives anymore — they ask how it updates. Welcome to the time when cars have become smartphones.
