In a market where every new EV seems to shout about its zero to 60 time, its screen size, or its ability to perform a light show in your driveway, the Audi Q4 e-tron does something almost radical. It just tries to be a really good car. No party tricks, no drama, no interface that…
For years, Audi’s electric vehicles carried a small asterisk. The Q4 e-tron rode on Volkswagen’s MEB platform, the same architecture underneath the ID.4. The larger Q8 e-tron used a modified version of a combustion car platform. They were good EVs, but they were built on borrowed foundations, adapted rather than purpose designed. The Q6 e-tron…
Here’s a fun number for you. The average used EV in 2026 costs about $30,900. That’s within roughly $1,300 of a comparable used gas car, the narrowest gap on record. And when you consider that many of these EVs originally stickered for $50,000, $80,000, or even well into six figures, you start to realize something….
The 3 Series is the car that made BMW famous. It’s the reason “ultimate driving machine” became more than a tagline. For decades, if you wanted a sport sedan that was genuinely fun to drive and happened to be practical enough for daily life, the 3 Series was the answer before the question was finished….
Most electric cars are very eager to tell you they’re electric. They come with futuristic dashboards, spaceship sound effects, exterior styling that looks like it arrived from the year 2040, and enough screens to run air traffic control. The BMW i5 does almost none of that, and that restraint is the whole point. It’s a…
BMW is calling the 2027 i7 refresh the most extensive 7 Series update in 50 years of production history. That’s a bold claim from a company that’s been making flagship sedans since the oil crisis, so I went looking for the catch. I’m still looking. The updated i7 was unveiled on April 22, 2026 at…
BMW has spent years watching Tesla, Rivian, and Hyundai rewrite the rules of the electric SUV market. Now Munich has a response, and the numbers suggest they spent that time doing more than watching. The 2027 iX3 is BMW’s first vehicle built on the Neue Klasse platform, an entirely new architecture that BMW developed from…
The BMW iX5 requires a small disclaimer before we get into the fun part, and I promise the fun part is worth it. BMW’s iX3 SUV and i3 sedan are both built on the company’s all new Neue Klasse platform, a ground up architecture designed exclusively for electric vehicles. The iX5 is not. It rides…
BMW has been promising a new era of electric vehicles for years. The kind of sweeping, clean sheet reinvention that companies talk about in press conferences and then quietly delay. Except BMW didn’t delay. The first wave is here, it’s real, and the numbers are genuinely startling. The company’s Neue Klasse platform, which translates from…
Here is a sentence I did not expect to write in my lifetime: Cadillac now builds a car that competes directly with Rolls-Royce and Bentley, costs over $400,000, and is assembled by hand at a rate of roughly two per day. The Celestiq is not a normal Cadillac. It is not really a normal anything….
