News and analysis: European cars
BMW will launch an entry-level electric model in 2028, aimed primarily at Europe. The iX3, built in Debrecen near the Romanian border, is sold out into the second quarter of 2027, and the 2 Series Active Tourer won't get a successor.
The Romanian channel TeslaHolic took the new Cupra Raval Endurance on a mountain loop in north-eastern Romania without a single charging stop. It got home with 5% battery and an average of 11.1 kWh/100 km.
72% beyond its official range in a showroom-spec car, though at an average speed below 30 km/h.
Germany's transport ministry says it remains open to the technology but has concerns about speeding and city use. Eight EU countries have already approved the system.
