Mercedes-Benz has completely relaunched the GLB - and not as a mild cosmetic update, but as a genuinely radical reset. The new compact SUV keeps its recognizable practical silhouette, but receives a completely different technical foundation, new-generation electric versions, a redesigned interior and a digital architecture that shows where the entire compact Mercedes segment is heading. This is no longer simply a “small family crossover with a third row.” It is an attempt to combine urban practicality, long-range electric driving, digital luxury and real everyday versatility.

Automakers are becoming increasingly careful about saying out loud what recently appeared in almost every press release: electric vehicles were created for the sake of the environment. For moving beyond gasoline, for cleaner energy, for a future in which transportation produces fewer harmful emissions. Those arguments are easy to make when the vehicle in question is a compact urban EV. They become far more complicated when you are looking at the Cadillac Escalade IQ — an enormous electric SUV with a 205 kWh battery, the mass of a luxury land yacht and an appetite for electricity that feels almost industrial when it is time to recharge.

The Chevrolet Bolt is returning at exactly the moment when the electric vehicle market needs not another expensive technology flagship, but a simple, understandable and affordable car for real life. After several years in which many EVs became larger, more expensive and more complicated, the new Bolt once again focuses on what mass electric mobility should have been built around from the beginning: a reasonable price, sufficient range, fast charging, a practical body and very little unnecessary drama.

Building an expensive electric car is relatively easy. The harder task is to create an EV that does not feel like a compromise, does not frighten buyers with its price and fits into ordinary life. That was the idea behind the Nissan Leaf from the beginning. It was never trying to be a luxury technology flagship, never playing the numbers game for its own sake, never pretending to be something impossible. Its mission was more difficult: to prove that an electric car could be mass-market, understandable and attainable.

We have already covered the new Mercedes-Benz GLC EV — Stuttgarts second major push into the premium electric crossover market, where the emphasis is placed on multi-agent artificial intelligence and a renewed design philosophy. Now it is Munichs turn. BMW is also entering the arena with its own second attempt: the new iX3, built on the revolutionary Neue Klasse platform. And while Mercedes is focusing on AI and user experience, BMW is responding with record-setting energy efficiency, zonal architecture, and charging performance comparable to Tesla and Rivian.

Mercedes GLC with EQ Technology: the electric vehicle Mercedes cannot afford to get wrong. Mercedes-Benz is entering a new phase of its electric story. After the first EQ models, one thing became clear: futuristic design and a famous badge are no longer enough. A premium EV buyer wants range, fast charging, familiar luxury, an intuitive interface, strong software and a design that does not feel like an experiment for its own sake. That is why the new GLC with EQ Technology is not just another electric car for Mercedes, but one of the brand’s most important models of the coming years.

The Tesla Model 3 had long been ready for a major update. Since its launch in 2017, it had changed gradually: Tesla has never been fond of traditional model cycles with a clearly defined mid-cycle facelift every few years. Instead, the company has preferred to introduce constant small improvements to production, software and equipment. But the Model 3 update known as Highland became more than another round of incremental changes. It was, in effect, a serious reworking of one of the most important electric cars of the past decade.

Почему название знаменитого британского бренда MINI и фамилия легендарного автоспортивного инженера Джона Купера так часто упоминаются в одном контексте?

The BMW iX M60 became the first BMW M model developed from the outset as an electric vehicle. It is the most powerful and dynamic version of the BMW iX technology flagship — a vehicle in which electric mobility, premium comfort and a sporting character are brought together in one concept.

The Mercedes-Benz EQE arrived at the moment when the premium automotive world could no longer treat electric cars as an experiment. After the flagship EQS, the Mercedes-EQ brand introduced a more compact, more athletic and more focused electric business sedan - a car designed to carry the philosophy of the E-Class into a new electric architecture. The EQE was not simply another familiar sedan with a battery in place of an engine. It was created on a platform developed specifically for electric vehicles, which is why it feels like a model of a new era rather than a compromise between past and future.

The BMW i4 became one of the brand’s most important electric vehicles because it made electric performance understandable for BMW’s traditional audience. It is not a futuristic experiment for the sake of design, and not a show concept built only to attract attention. It is a true Gran Coupe with the signature BMW seating position, sporting handling, a practical luggage compartment, a premium interior and an electric powertrain that translates familiar BMW character into a new format.

The Mercedes-Benz EQS became one of those cars that matter not only as a product, but as a sign of a changing era. It is not simply an electric version of the S-Class, and not an attempt to replace the combustion engine with a battery inside a familiar body. The EQS was conceived as a separate architecture of luxury: quiet, aerodynamically refined, digital and almost seamless. With it, Mercedes-Benz tried to answer the central question of the premium segment: what should a large executive car look like when its future is no longer built around a gasoline engine?

As the first classic model series from Mercedes-Benz, the new C-Class is electrified throughout thanks to plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids with 48-volt technology and integrated starter-generator. Due to a high-efficiency battery system, it achieves an electric range of about 100 kilometres (WLTP) as a plug-in hybrid. That is unprecedented in this category to date. It also sets standards with respect to sustainability. And because the C-Class is one of the companys highest-volume model series, this systematic electrification has a correspondingly strong effect on our carbon footprint. Other technical refinements include optional features such as DIGITAL LIGHT and rear-axle steering.

The BMW iX was never meant to be just another electric SUV from BMW Group. It was a statement about the future of the brand. This is a vehicle in which the company tried to redefine its own understanding of luxury, sustainability, digital technology and driving pleasure. Created from the outset as an electric vehicle, the BMW iX reimagined the Sports Activity Vehicle concept and showed what a large premium automobile could become in the age of electric mobility.

BMW Group представляет обновление MINI John Cooper Works Countryman — автомобиля, демонстрирующего высочайшую производительность на дорогах с твердым покрытием и грунте. Модель получила новые элементы дизайна экстерьера, расширенное оснащение, сохранив при этом максимальный уровень удовольствия от вождения и универсальность.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet are the most emotionally appealing representatives of the luxury-class family of models. The latest measures to boost their attractiveness make these two dream cars even more desirable. The styling has been sportily honed with the front sections, in particular, being given a fresh look. The all-LED headlamps have been given flatter housings, while the interior of the LED tail lights has been reworked. At the same time the two-door models take on the key upgrade features of the other body variants as part of the facelift. These include electrified, and therefore more efficient, gas as well as diesel engines with integrated starter-alternator, the next generation of driving assistance systems and the infotainment system MBUX infotainment system.

Some cars simply sell well. Others become part of a brands DNA. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class belongs firmly in the second category. For many buyers, it is the true Mercedes: not the most theatrical, not the most extreme, but remarkably precise in character - solid, comfortable, technologically advanced and elegant enough not to need any unnecessary noise around it.

Some cars are simply updated. Others, at a certain moment, rewrite their own biography. The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette belongs firmly in the second category. The eighth-generation Corvette, known as the C8, became the first production Corvette with a mid-engine layout - an idea General Motors had been dreaming about for decades, but had long hesitated to bring into a mass-production car. That single move transformed the Corvette from a classic American sports coupe into a far more serious rival to European supercars.

Urban mobility with purely electric drive can now also be experienced in hallmark MINI style. The new MINI Cooper SE makes it possible. It combines sustainable mobility with the riding fun, expressive design and premium quality that are typical of MINI. As such, the first solely electrically powered model of the British brand offers pure MINI feeling with locally emissions-free driving.

The Audi Q7 has always been more than just a large family SUV. With this model, Audi has tried to combine three qualities that rarely coexist without compromise: the space of a true seven-seat vehicle, the calmness of a long-distance cruiser and the technological precision for which the brand is known. The updated 2020 Audi Q7 became exactly that kind of vehicle - more mature, more digital, more expressive and noticeably closer in spirit to the flagship Audi Q8, but with the practicality that makes the Q7 so appealing in the first place.

The new Bentley Flying Spur is one of the most advanced luxury sports sedans in the Grand Touring class.

The new Mercedes-Benz GLS is Mercedes-Benz largest and most luxurious SUV and, above all, offers more: more space, more comfort, more luxury. The confident presence of its exterior stems from its impressive dimensions, which are even larger than those of its predecessor. One of the benefits of the longer wheelbase is interior spaciousness, especially in the second row. The three fully electrically adjustable seat rows offer all passengers a generous amount of space and outstanding seating comfort.

The all-new Honda Passport will slot between the compact CR-V and three-row Pilot in Hondas award-winning SUV lineup. The models reinforced unibody frame, powerful direct-injected i-VTEC V6 engine, fully independent suspension and nimble steering make it an ideal choice for driving long distances or around town.

The fourth generation of the BMW X5 (impresses with its wealth of innovations and represents the most compelling embodiment yet of the familiar Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) blueprint: the ability to venture off-road combined with a talent for dynamic driving pleasure on it.

The new Mercedes-Benz GLE has a wealth of innovations. The active suspension system E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL on a 48‑volt basis is a world first, while the driving assistance systems take another step forward with Active Stop-and-Go Assist. The interior is even more spacious and comfortable - a third seat row is available on request. The infotainment system has larger screens, a full-colour head-up display with a resolution of 720 x 240 pixels and the MBUX Interior Assistant, which can recognise hand and arm movements and supports operating intentions.

The new Mercedes-Benz G-Class appears in one of the strongest forms of its long history. On rough terrain and on pavement, in the city and far beyond civilization, this SUV impresses with the depth of its capability, modern assistance systems, extraordinary off-road performance, and a high level of safety. A new suspension, DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes, a dedicated G-Mode, and three 100-percent differential locks improve both comfort and manoeuvrability — on almost any surface.

The Levante is like a warm Mediterranean wind that, in an instant, can turn into a furious storm.

It takes just 18 seconds to add sun, air and a sense of freedom to the familiar MINI feeling. For this, the new MINI Cabrio is fitted with a fully automatic textile soft top, powered for the first time by an entirely electric and therefore especially quiet mechanism.

Rolls-Royce has always been more than a car brand. It is a language of status, craftsmanship and personal taste, where a motor car becomes not simply transportation, but a portrait of its owner. That is why the Rolls-Royce Bespoke programme occupies such a special place in the world of luxury: here, a car can be turned into a one-of-one object built around a specific idea, history or passion. The Chicane Phantom Coupé is one of those rare examples in which classic Rolls-Royce luxury unexpectedly meets the spirit of motor racing.

The Maserati Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna Limited Edition was born from a close collaboration between two Italian houses united by craftsmanship, tradition, and exclusivity. Maserati brought to the project the character of a grand sporting sedan, while Ermenegildo Zegna contributed its world of masculine elegance, fine textiles, and refined material culture. At the heart of this edition is a sophisticated dialogue between the classical and the contemporary, between automotive engineering and the art of tailoring.

Maserati Ghibli was not simply a new model for the brand. It was an attempt to enter a segment long dominated by German premium sedans. Before that, Maserati remained a rarer, more emotional and more niche marque - with the Quattroporte, GranTurismo and a sporting aura that attracted enthusiasts, but did not turn the brand into a volume player. The Ghibli was meant to change the scale: offer a more accessible entry into the world of Maserati, preserve Italian charisma and compete with business sedans bought not only with the heart, but also with reason.
