    Bentley’s first EV is spectacular, and mind-blowingly fast | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    This is the first electric Bentley, the Torcal, which the British luxury brand claims is as comfortable as a Flying Spur and dynamic as a Continental GT Speed. It’s a remarkable fusion of modernising design, imaginative tech and relentless speed: the S version can demolish the 0-62mph sprint in 2.9 seconds. The 5m-long SUV looks intrinsically Bentley in its statuesque proportions, such as the long bonnet, muscular rear haunch that originated with the 1952 R-Type Continental, and monstrous wheels

    Calling all car buyers! New Peugeots will get a big value boost to battle Chinese rivals | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Peugeot will launch a massive value drive across its portfolio, boosting the equipment levels on its cars to enhance their consumer appeal. The brand’s ‘Recharge’ programme kicks off in October 2026, rolling out across Europe and with the UK line-up also set to benefit later in the year. “Recharge is about giving additional equipment to our range, in order to bring [them] to the level of our competitors,” said Peugeot CEO Alain Favey at the E-208 GTi’s launch in Scotland. “We will introduce a ne

    Chinese cars are conquering Britain, but Government tariffs won’t rise | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The UK has no plans to raise tariffs on the ever-growing numbers of Chinese car imports, the business secretary has told Auto Express. In 2023, the year BYD joined MG on UK sale, Chinese brands took four per cent of the UK new car market, totalling 83,000 registrations. That soared to 223,000 cars in the first eight months of 2026 – more than 15 per cent of total registrations – ignited by additional new entrants including Jaecoo, Omoda, Chery and Leapmotor. Chinese cars face a flat 10 per cent

    The Volvo EX90 is huge in every way, and I mean seriously big | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Volvo EX90 is big. Wait, don’t go, the insight gets deeper: big is a double-edged sword. I’ve already raved about the spacious cabin, but the boot swallows a week’s groceries for five with all seven seats upright, or I can drop the back bench for 690 litres and there’s room for two massive suitcases and three carry-ons. Big also applies to the 102kWh battery. While the car’s official range is 376 miles, 300 miles is par for a full charge. We’ve racked up more than 1,000 miles of mixed drivin

    Chinese car boom may be bad for legacy brands, but it's great for Britain | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Is Chinese car brands’ push into the UK market industrial imperialism or globalisation at its best, delivering hi-tech electrified cars at competitive prices? So far in 2026, the top seven Chinese marques have registered more than 219,000 cars here – close to 15 per cent of the market. Chery – China’s biggest car exporter – has racked up over 29,000 sales in just 12 months. The Chinese can be forgiven for seeing Britain as Treasure Island: we don’t have extra import tariffs like the EU. And with
