/
/
comments
I’m shocked, too, but here we go; this BMW i7 M70 is the nicest car I’ve driven. From its power delivery and ride quality to the seat comfort and overall enjoyability of the machine, it’s just a fantastic vehicle. Just don’t look at the front of it…

2024 BMW i5 M60 xDrive Sedan Quick Review
/
/
comments
It’s easy to tell which electric vehicles were designed to be such from the ground up and which were originally designed for ICE propulsion or to be on a shared platform with ICE versions of the same vehicle. This primarily manifests in the packaging but is also expressed in the vehicle’s overall persona, so vehicles…

The Kia EV9 is Expensive but also Excellent
/
/
comments
As tested, this particular Kia EV9 costs $74,000. That’s an electrified buoyed-up boatload of cash. And this one is still one below the top-spec GT-Line model. Plus, there’s talk of a bonkers high-performance EV9 GT still to come. That said, the EV9 delivers excellent range, great power, fun styling, a lovely interior, and tremendous charging…

2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison Quick Review
/
/
comments
The 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison is the biggest the brand has ever gone with its midsize truck, chucking an enormous amount of off-road equipment at the platform to the degree that it compromises the vehicle’s ability to actually be a pickup. We didn’t engage low range in our time with the ZR2 Bison, but…

2024 Land Rover Range Rover Velar Quick Review: Form Over Function
/
/
comments
If the Range Rover is the financial statement of a vehicle in Land Rover’s ever-growing catalog, then the Velar is a fashion statement. Everything about the Velar’s existence comes by way of or at the expense of form over function, which manifests in its glorious curb appeal while simultaneously shooting itself in the foot on…

2024 BMW X5 M Competition Quick Review: A Practical Monster
/
/
comments
Fast SUVs used to be the laughing stock of the enthusiast world, vehicles deemed silly and pointless, but they’ve been a hot topic for well over a decade now. The first BMW X5 M launched in 2010, a time when a performance-oriented family hauler meant tradeoffs galore for a mediocre outcome, but the vehicle has…

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Street and Track, Ready

comments
If you were thinking of getting a daily driver that you could also take to the track, I’m sure for most of you reading this, an EV isn’t part of that discussion. Hyundai wants to change the conversation, though, and thus the automaker has cooked up an EV for the enthusiast. At least, that’s the…

Land Rover Defender 130 Outbound – Surprisingly Great Off-Road
/
/
comments
The Defender 130 was initially the JLR truck that piqued my interest the least. That’s because the 110 is the perfect size for me personally. I don’t need or want a three-row SUV, but more cargo room is a nice thing to have. So, the arrival of the D130 in Outbound spec has caught my…

comments
Sometimes, in this business, you see a model name come across your desk and think, “Meh, I already had that.” In this case I just reviewed the 2024 Lexus TX 350 a few months ago. However, this TX 500h F Sport Performance Luxury is a different thing altogether. Well, I mean, it’s the same, but…

The Overland market is huge and growing at the moment. There doesn’t seem to be a consensus on a dollar figure, but it’s estimated that around 30-40 million people are into the trend worldwide. Kamil and I spent the weekend with some other journalist types at Overland East a few years ago, and it was…
