1 week ago | carmagazine.co.uk | Luke Wilkinson

►Alpine CEO confirms plans for an SF90 rival►F1-derived V6 engines, dual electric motors…►… just not where you’d expect them to beIt seems Alpine has gone quite mad. The brand is charging into its electrification strategy with cars like the A290 hot hatchback, A390 SUV and the upcoming electric replacement for the A110 sports car – but the company’s CEO, Phillipe Krief, still thinks there’s room for a petrol-powered supercar at the top of the range. And good grief, has he set his sights high.

1 week ago | carmagazine.co.uk | Curtis Moldrich

► A weekend of racing ► From F1 to MotoGP► But which is the best spectacle right nowThis weekend saw three significant events on the motorsport calendar take place. F1 went to Monaco, the pedestrian ‘jewel in the crown’ of its ever-expanding championship. Later we had the Indy 500, an event that seems to squeeze every ounce of entertainment and commerce out of each of its 200 laps in a way only American sports know how.
A heavier sort of lightness: Alpine A390 SUV launched

1 week ago | carmagazine.co.uk | Luke Wilkinson

► Alpine launches its first-ever SUV► Obviously, it’s electric and powerful► The brand also says it ‘feels’ lightweightI’m getting rather tired of watching performance car manufacturers disrespect their heritages with SUVs. Everyone from Aston Martin to Porsche has jumped on the bandwagon – and now Alpine, the final bastion of the lightweight sports car, has caved under the weight of popularism. Meet the all-new, all-electric A390 SUV. Alpine won’t admit it’s built an SUV, mind.

1 week ago | carmagazine.co.uk | Ted Welford

► Toyota’s hybrid hatch gets a light 2025 update► Still the fuel economy champion► But would you want to own one? The Toyota Yaris hybrid might not lead the small car segment for excitement, but it’s hard to argue with its continued success. More than five million have been sold in Europe since its 1999 introduction and sales show no signs of slowing even as more manufacturers turn their backs on the supermini market.

Does our i5 Touring have too much tech?

1 week ago | carmagazine.co.uk | Ben Whitworth

► Month 6 with our BMW i5 Touring► Is this the pinnacle of UX► Read month 5 hereThe first thing I do after starting the i5 is flick two fingers at its central screen. It’s not what you’re thinking. This shortcut hand-gesture brings up the menu to deactivate the pointless speed limit and lane departure warning nannies. The half-baked peace sign is second nature to me, but most first-time passengers are lost for words.

Wait. So hybrids are bad again?

2 weeks ago | carmagazine.co.uk | Nick Gibbs

Here’s what sounds like some excellent news from JLR: global sales of its plug-in hybrids soared 163 per cent in the three months ending in December 2024.
