The Hyundai Ioniq 6 generally makes a strong impression with its arch-like form. Electric cars are mainly SUVs : these are scandalouly profiable for their makers. Going against the flow, the Korean manufacturer is setting an example of what an electric car should always have been : its perfectly aerodynamic shape flows through the air …

The PHEV C5 Aircross certainly lost some relevance since the end of hybrid company cars tax advantages in Belgium. However, it remains a good way to experience the joys of driving an electric car without experiencing variable range, depending on weather conditions. We took the wheel of the 180 horsepower version launched last year and …

With this new CLE, Mercedes chose to merge both C and E coupes into a single model. It's a bit like the CLK, which preceded the last two models during 12-year between 1997 and 2009. The latter used the C's compact platform but had an E look. This is more or less what the German …

Don't be fooled by appearances. Beneath its classic Puma ST appearance (complete with painted bumper and wheel arches, its front and unobtrusive rear spoilers, not to mention its pretty 19-inch wheels with red brake calipers), this Ford isn't as sporty as its appearance would suggest.

In any case, this new roadster gets a tough job, as it replaces the SL, the AMG-GT Roadster and the S Convertible. The …

This mid-range version of the new Renault Austral became obsolete very quickly. At launch, it featured the well-known 1.3 cc 4-cylinder engine shared with the Kadjar as well as various Daimler group cars. However, in this case it is mated to the continuously variable X-Tronic transmission also used by its cousin, the Nissan Qashqai. A very …

Volkswagen’s electrified range is getting larger all the time and will soon be complete. The ubiquitous minibus is now getting a battery too. Such a vehicle is not particularly our cup of tea but we thought it would be interesting to take a look at this iconic vehicle which costs a fortune, by the way. …
Belgium, and even Europe, represents only a tiny part of Mazda new car sales. If the Japanese engineers think a 3.3 litre diesel in-line 6 engine is perfectly suited to their large SUV, there’s no point in arguying with them… even though such a big lump is not tax friendly in our small country. For the …

No, it's not yet the hybrid version of Dacia's seven-seater that we tested for a week. But we did take advantage of the new logos and a new colour that suits it perfectly to find this vehicle with unbeatable value for money. Whether it's taking the kids and their friends to their favourite activities, moving …
