Smart #5 – not what you expected

At 4.70 m long, the #5 is the Smart farthest from the original, yet it still stands out in a crowded crossover market. Sadly, the price is anything but mini.

The upright rear end emphasizes a sense of functionality; it does not try to look sporty or elegant.

The renewed MG4: Longer range than Tesla, NIS 40,000 cheaper

The facelift for the Chinese compact brings the long-range version to Israel, cheaper and reaching farther: 545 km range for just NIS 149,000.

There are almost no exterior differences, apart from a new spoiler and updated rims.

7 electric cars with 500 km for under NIS 200,000

The electric revolution reaches the mass market. In Israel, 7 models promise over 500 km range for under NIS 200,000, taking you from Haifa to Eilat without stopping.

Kia EV3. Nearly 600 km official range.

The year of hybrids: Kia launches a better-equipped Niro and a cheaper Sportage

Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive, no longer Standard.

China strikes back: The adventure bike challenging Yamaha

Behind the VOGE DS800X Rally’s camel-like design hides an adventure motorcycle unafraid of off-road riding, offering excellent value for money.

The 799 cc parallel-twin engine is completely new, producing 95 hp. It’s simply an excellent engine, with plenty of torque across the rev range, delivering strong overtaking power.

A lesson in pricing: First drive of the Honda ZR-V

Honda's new crossover, built on the Civic platform with a strong hybrid powertrain, competes with the Tucson and Sportage but is hindered by a Lexus-level price in Israel.

Rounded design, not tough, and very different in landscape.

Mazda CX-5 Turbo 4x4: Thirsty and enjoyable, we’ll miss it

In an age of screens and batteries, the Mazda CX-5 Turbo reminds us some still want gasoline, emotion and simple ergonomics. Can it hide its age, and do 227 hp justify the fuel stops?

The blacked-out grille and wheels refresh the veteran design.

JAC 8: 7-Seater plug-in hybrid with 430 HP

It looks like a million dollars but costs NIS 250K. Does the Chinese brand that topped 2025 sales charts deliver real luxury or just seat massages hiding tricky ergonomics?

Looks great and cohesive, thanks to Land Rover and Audi for the inspiration.
