What exactly is an all-electric crossover? That's what Kia calls the Niro with its newest drivetrain. Our impression at JB CarConcept: the e-Niro is not really an SUV, but neither is it a classic representation of a compact car. The Kia e-Niro is more like a normal, everyday car with less ground clearance than a conventional SUV and no all-wheel drive, but with a higher seating position. It offers occupants plenty of headroom and legroom, a comparatively large luggage capacity for electric vehicles with a range of up to 455 km. The e-Niro displays all important data and comfort information on two 7“ and 10.25“ LCD screens.

How do you say Porsche in electric? Exactly! Taycan. The Taycan 4S and flagship Taycan Turbo S with up to 560 kW of power and 1,050 Nm of torque are available to book immediately at JB CarConcept. A few more figures for comparative drives: two permanently engaged synchromotors, four-wheel drive, 800 volts of nominal voltage, maximum current of 600 ampere, a WLTP range of up to 463 km and performance batteries in the subframe. As a result, the first electric Porsche feels “agile, comfortable and incredibly quick”. On top of that, there are the superior driving dynamics and the ability to set up a personalised driving mode with the ideal mix of dynamics and efficiency.

Bursting with serenity, even if you're pushing it hard in your tests and comparative drives: the fourth generation Mercedes SUV in the luxury segment. Daimler has gone to great lengths to keep potential competitors such as Audi Q7, BMW X5, Volvo XC 90, Porsche Cayenne, Jeep Grand Cherokee or the new electric SUV at bay. All in all, the current GLE presents a whole new SUV image: intelligent, considerate, attentive.

So far, every new generation of Golf has brought with it a ground-breaking advance. In times of increasing electric mobility, the Golf 8 also offers several new features as a classic combustion-engine car: narrower light units at the front (LED lighting makes that possible) and a wider, sturdier appearance are the most important external features. Inside, the innovation is more fundamental and comprehensive: digital cockpit, considerably fewer switches, many functions controlled via touchscreen, infotainment systems with permanently installed SIM card, constant online availability, networking, Car2X technology, a wide range of convenient driving assistants and intelligent safety systems - the Golf has finally arrived in the digital age and is well on its way to becoming a "digital icon".
