BMW iX

The BMW iX arrives like a tech-rich luxury SUV that refuses to shout, offering a serene yet authoritative road presence that suits both city commutes and long-distance cruising. Inside, its minimalist cabin wraps high-quality materials and clever interfaces around a driver-focused layout, making it feel more like a forward-thinking lounge than just another electric appliance — and yes, it still delivers the dynamic driving character you'd expect from a BMW.

Alpine A390

The Alpine A390 is the brand’s leap into the fast electric crossover arena, wrapping Dieppe’s lightweight ethos in a sleek, coupe-ish body with real everyday usability. If the steering and chassis feel echo the A110, this could be the enthusiast’s family EV—subtle, sharp, and très chic, with enough theatre to make the school run feel like a pit lane exit.
