We already had three versions of the Tesla Model Y available for your comparison drives, tests and CarClinics. After the latest facelift, number 4 now follows: the new Tesla Model Y Juniper in the “Launch Series” version. With a significantly modified body, which is dominated at the front by the continuous light strip and at the rear by the more robust, higher bumper. With a lower Cd value of 0.22, slightly larger dimensions and less noise in the interior.

With the all-electric EX90 SUV, Volvo has launched a new flagship model on the market. In terms of design and appearance alone, it is a worthy addition to the Volvo XC90 with plug-in hybrid drive, which is still available. In principle, the exterior lines and design are already familiar from its little brother, the Volvo EX30: a clear Scandinavian, comparatively slim design.

Race car DNA now also in the Emeya R electric saloon from Lotus: with the sporty SUV Eletre, the Anglo-Chinese sports car manufacturer has already proven that it can achieve top results with an electric drive.

After Nio presented its first vehicle in Germany in mid-2022 with the ET7 saloon, the Chinese manufacturer is now launching its latest top-of-the-range model with the EL8. The technical basis of both Nios is pretty much identical - in terms of length, electric drive, batteries, swap technology for quick battery replacement and luxurious equipment, you will find much of the same features from the ET7 in the EL8. The main difference is the vehicle concept, which, as an electric SUV, gives the EL8 a much more imposing appearance and considerably more interior space.

The first model from Leapmotor, a Chinese Stellantis subsidiary, in Germany: the T03. While the Stellantis Group is primarily known for its brands such as Opel, Fiat, Peugeot, Lancia and Citroën, Leapmotor is a newcomer in Europe with its small electric car T03. The T03 is manufactured in Poland. With a cost price of less than 20,000 euros, it aims to silence the loud call for cheap electric vehicles. Leapmotor characterizes the T03 as “modern, chic, useful and smart”. The design is indeed remotely reminiscent of the former Smart FourFour. Enough reasons for us at JB CarConcept to make the T03 available to you.

We already presented the Model 3 Highland to you in April 2024, the Highland from Tesla is no longer an unknown vehicle for you. The performance version provides a special kick: it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, with motors that can deliver 332 kW and 732 Nm of torque. That will have you on the edge of your seat.

In 2017, the car manufacturer Vinfast was founded in Vietnam, initially presenting sedans that resemble some BMW models. Except that they are trimmed to suit Asian tastes. The Vietnamese start-up is building up its position on the European market with its own development, the Vinfast VF 8. The all-electric SUV only became available in Germany in mid-2024. And it will have to face a well-positioned competition: the range in this market segment extends from VW with the ID.4 and ID.5 to BMW's iX2, the Audi Q4, the Skoda Enyaq, the Chinese BYD Tang, the Toyota bZ4X and, of course, the Model Y from Tesla.

Almost a year ago, we presented the new, all-electric BMW i5 to you. Now we are following up with the sixth edition of the Touring. A full 10 cm longer, it offers more space for rear seats and luggage than previous 5 Series generations. The futuristic-looking instrument design (curved housing with two displays) and richly equipped entertainment electronics including “in-car gaming” set BMW's own virtues against the competition. Although in the case of the Touring, this is very clear: in the premium sector, only the Audi A6 e-tron Avant has so far.

Hyundai is positioning its new Santa Fee SUV on the border between city life and the great outdoors. The futuristic design is intended to show power and size. And it makes use of more classic ingredients: straight lines, box body and a stocky front and rear view. The H-shaped headlights are intended to convey self-confidence. In any case, they set a clear visual accent. In this way, the Santa Fee clearly breaks away from the more rounded shape of the previous generations.
