2023 BMW IX Summary

Electric cars might be synonymous with Tesla right now, but as the world begins to ween itself off petrol and diesel, you can bet other car brands will be vying for the spotlight.

BMW is no stranger to the electric market with its i3 hatchback having first launched back in 2014, but with buyers shifting away from passenger cars to SUVs, that quirky model never really managed to find a substantial audience.

Enter BMW’s second-generation of EVs, then, which includes the i4 sedan, iX3 mid-size SUV and flagship iX.

And it is the latter that we’re testing here to see if BMW has done enough to shift the limelight away from Tesla and its Model X.

2022 Hyundai I20 Summary

Start occupying the top step of the World Rally Championship podium and the brand benefits are huge. Just ask Audi, Ford, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen and the many others which have done exactly that to great effect over the years.

And Hyundai’s most recent foray into the WRC has focused on the compact i20, and here we have that rally weapon’s civilian offspring, the much-anticipated i20 N.

It’s a lightweight, high-tech, city-sized, hot hatch designed to steer you away from Ford’s Fiesta ST or VW’s Polo GTI, and add even more lustre to Hyundai’s N performance badge.
