2025 has been a wild ride for the car industry. In today’s video, I dive into the biggest shifts of the past year, I look at some of the most interesting cars I've reviewed, and I’m sharing some huge personal news: I’ve officially joined the World Car Awards (WCA) jury!
In this video:
Why 2025 might be the year the "EV fever" finally ended?
How political moves in Washington and Brussels shape the future of the cars we buy?
My highlights and lowlights from 2025 reviews (Peugeot e5008, Toyota Land Cruiser, Renault 5, and the BMW iX3 Neue Klasse).
How many cars to WCA jurors have to review?
Quick-fire, brutal reviews of cars I didn't want to film, but had to test (Omoda, Jaecoo, Leapmotor, MG, and more).
Join me for an unfiltered look at the current state of the industry, from the controversial Jaguar Type 00 to the surprisingly good Mercedes CLA.
