The Transit Custom has been the backbone of countless European trades and businesses for decades — a vehicle that doesn't win hearts with emotion, but with reliability, capacity and economy.

Chinese electric cars have long had a hard time in Europe — the brand too unfamiliar, the scepticism too great.

The Capri name carries weight. Anyone who grew up in the 1970s — or at least knows the history of the original — associates it with rear-wheel drive, sportiness and a certain carefree attitude.

Toyota took its time with the bZ4X — and when the brand followed up with the Touring, a stretched estate variant, expectations were correspondingly high.

The electric van market has long been the domain of premium manufacturers — anyone wanting a spacious electric vehicle for the family had to dig deep into their pockets. Kia wants to change that with the PV5.

Some cars simply work. Not because they lack ambition, but because they know exactly what their buyers want — and deliver it without much fuss.

Some cars fill a niche, others create one for themselves. The MG Cyberster GT is a case of the latter. As an electric roadster with a folding hardtop, it stands almost without direct competition — anyone looking for an open-top electric car that genuinely delivers emotion will struggle to look past it.

Some cars get everything right the moment you step in — and then there's the Mitsubishi Outlander Intense PHEV.

Some electric cars seek attention through flashy design and maximum range, others rely on a well-balanced package with substance.

Some cars chase trends, others deliberately stick to their roots. The Subaru Forester in the tested Adventure trim presents itself confidently as an all-wheel-drive vehicle — with a rugged character, plenty of space and classic engineering.

With the T7 Multivan, Volkswagen opens a new chapter in the history of its iconic people carrier.

The Range Rover Sport has always been the more dynamic counterpart to the classic Range Rover: a little more compact, a little sportier — but still firmly anchored in the luxury SUV segment.

The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer 225e xDrive isn't a car that sets out to provoke at first glance. It doesn't push itself into the foreground and deliberately avoids sporty exaggeration.

The Volvo XC60 T6 Recharge AWD belongs to that category of cars that don't need to shout for attention. It doesn't put itself centre stage — it feels like it's already the composed anchor point in a world that keeps getting faster and louder.
