    The BMW i7 costs £1,449 a month. Is it worth it? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    BMW’s i7 is a luxury electric limousine costing £1,449 a month on current finance. But does the car justify that kind of monthly commitment? £1,449 a month is a lot of money to spend on a car, even if that car is a BMW i7. Yet that’s currently the monthly payment BMW is advertising for the i7 50 xDrive M Sport Pro, with 3.9% APR and a customer deposit of £6,002.94. That headline figure is probably going to attract more attention than the car itself, but the interesting question is whether the i7

    XPeng G6: The Electric SUV with Business Appeal (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Tesla Model Y may still dominate conversations in Canary Wharf car parks and City office charging bays. Still, a growing number of Chinese manufacturers are arriving with serious ambitions – and considerable technology, writes our motoring journalist Tim Barnes-Clay. XPeng is one of them. The Chinese EV marque officially entered the United Kingdom in February 2025 with the G6, an electric SUV aimed at the Tesla Model Y. But XPeng didn’t take long to update the model, claiming more than 20,00

    What is Polestar's Formula 2030, and why does it matter? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Polestar will reveal its Formula 2030 concept in October, previewing the next Polestar 2 and Polestar 7 as the Swedish-Chinese EV maker looks to grow sales and move towards profitability. This is the first clean-sheet design produced under design chief Philipp Römers, who joined Polestar in January 2025, and it will preview two of the brand’s most important upcoming models: the next-generation Polestar 2, due in 2027, and the Polestar 7 compact SUV, expected in 2028. That makes the Formula 2030

    Is the Alpine A390 the most interesting electric SUV? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Alpine has taken a very different approach to the electric SUV with the A390, but does its mix of performance, range and style make it a better choice than more established rivals? Alpine has taken a slightly unusual route into the electric SUV market with the A390, a car that looks more like a sports car that happens to have five doors than another attempt at a sensible family EV. Starting from £61,390, it sits in an awkwardly interesting part of the market, with enough performance to worry car

    BMW goes into Fast & Furious mode with the new M350 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    BMW’s replaced the M340i with something more mischievous, the M350 xDrive, a 437bhp straight-six that can turn itself into a full rear-wheel-drive drift car at the touch of a button. Most performance cars try to convince you they’re fast. BMW’s new 3 Series M350 xDrive is trying to convince you it’s fun, and it’s doing that with a party trick most manufacturers wouldn’t dare put on a family saloon: a button that turns a perfectly sensible four-wheel-drive car into a rear-wheel-drive drift machin
