At $35,400 for the Standard Range, the Model 3 is rather affordable for an electric car this size. But going for the entry-level option isn’t the brightest idea, not when the Standard Range Plus has so much more to offer at $39,990 in the United States of America. But first, a quick history...
Revealed in China earlier this year, the Encore GX will join the U.S. lineup for the 2020 model year. The compact crossover from the Middle Kingdom will arrive at dealerships in the earliest part of 2020, filling the gap between the Encore and Envision. It’s been expected from General...

Introduced on the UKL2 platform of the MINI, the second generation of the X1 is the smallest crossover in the BMW lineup. The F48 and long-wheelbase F49 date back to 2015, and BMW thought a mid-cycle refresh is in order for the 2020 model year. Immediately after publishing the first official...
The mid-cycle refresh for the BMW X1 is here, with minor design changes meant to bring the nameplate closer to the current visual identity of the Bavarian carmaker. But how does the new version stack up against the old one when it comes to design? By BMW’s own admission, the changes for the...
Having presented the brand new 1 Series a week ago, German carmaker BMW announced the increase in the number of new models for this year by presenting the facelift version for the X1. Bringing rather minor design changes and some updates to the equipment it is fitted with, the new X1 does come...
Do you know how every superhero has a rival with similar powers, often a scar over the eye or some tough-looking war wound? Superman has General Zod, Shazam has Black Adam and so on. Well, the Genesis G80 looks like it wants Mercedes to suffer in agony. According to a statement from the Genesis...
Within the past year, the Mercedes-Benz family of compact cars has been reborn. We've lost track of the body styles that have come out but suspect this GLB-Class will be the most popular. At this point, the model is an open secret, having been presented last month in China as a...

Crossovers are now taking a big chunk out of the hot hatch market. It started with the Juke Nismo RS and Countryman/Paceman JCW, but the world seems to be paying a lot more attention because VW Group is all-in. We have contenders from four separate brands, three of which have the same powertrain....
We may not yet know what this car is all about in terms of performance, but we finally have a pretty good idea of how it looks like. On Wednesday (May 29), Bentley released the first two images showing the complete new four-door saloon. Bentley says the car will be detailed in full on June 11 but...
Opel only showed the electric version of its all-new Corsa supermini. However, we don't expect the models with internal combustion engines to be much different when they come out this fall. As such, we can look into a potential diversification of the supermini range, which seems a little...

We desperately want to know how the Audi e-tron measures up against a base Tesla in an acceleration test. There's only one drag race featuring Audi's first EV out there, and it's pretty bad. So instead, we decided to share an independent acceleration test. AutoTopNL is one of the...
