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 startling. The company’s Neue Klasse platform, which translates from German…
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 a normal anything. It’s…
For a long time, the idea of an electric Cadillac sounded like a punchline. This was the brand of enormous chrome grilles, of your grandfather’s boat sized sedan, of luxury defined by sheer American excess. The notion that Cadillac could build a competitive electric vehicle, something that could stand next to the Germans without apologizing,…
Cadillac has spent the last couple of years building an entire lineup of electric SUVs whose names all end in the letters IQ, which makes shopping for one feel a little like being quizzed on a spelling bee you didn’t study for. Optiq, Lyriq, Vistiq, Escalade IQ. They climb in size and price as you…
Cadillac‘s full size electric flagship, the Escalade IQ, is a magnificent, enormous, technologically dazzling machine that also costs about as much as a small house down payment and weighs more than nine thousand pounds. It’s spectacular. It’s also more SUV than most families could ever reasonably use or afford. Which is precisely the gap the…
Most vehicles have a personality. The Blazer EV has two, and they’re barely on speaking terms. At the bottom of the lineup sits a sensible, comfortable, midsize electric family SUV that competes with the Tesla Model Y and the Ford Mustang Mach-E on range and price. At the top of the lineup sits a 615…
Chevrolet killed the Bolt in 2023. Then it changed its mind. The Bolt is back for 2027, it’s once again the most affordable new electric car you can buy in America, and here’s the twist that makes it interesting: Chevrolet has already announced when it plans to kill it again. This is one of the…
