The Lepas L6 BEV is priced at $47,990 plus on-roads, with a 65kWh LFP battery rated at 440km WLTP and a 7-year warranty. Test drives start in November.

The 2027 Polestar 3 moves to 800 volts, 350kW DC charging and an Nvidia Orin brain, and launch-model owners get the brain transplant too. Full review soon.

The BMW iX4 50 xDrive claims up to 828km WLTP from a 108.7kWh battery and takes 400kW DC charging, with European sales of the coupe SUV from March 2027.

Mahindra Scorpio Z8+ is $39,990 drive-away with an instant $4,000 off, and the Z8L+ gets $3,000 off, on 2025-built stock until the 31st of December 2026.

Nissan Navara Pro PHEV brings 300kW/800Nm and a 3,500kg tow rating in 2027, but its motor hides in an 8-speed auto while BYD's Shark 6 skips the gearbox.

Jaguar Type 01 is a 757kW electric GT from about $300,000, under half the price of a Rolls-Royce Spectre. We think it's the rightful heir to the XJ.

Leapmotor B03X starts at $29,990 drive-away, $9,000 under what a B10 Style cost when we reviewed it, as Leapmotor sales doubled in September.
