BYD reveals tech-savvy 5-seat SUV interior with two massive 30-inch+ screens

Kia’s 7-seat PV5 electric van is now eligible for the UK Government’s Electric Car Grant (ECG), bringing the starting price down to £35,495 ($47,000). The PV5, Kia’s first dedicated electric van, has been a huge success. It’s primarily sold in two body types: Cargo for commercial use and Passenger, designed as an everyday family hauler.

Rate shopping is easy. Building a mortgage strategy that still makes sense five years from now takes something else, and that’s the gap Rakhee Dhingra set out to close when she founded Mortgage Savvy, an independent brokerage based in North York. As Founder, CEO and Broker of Record, Dhingra guides clients across Toronto, the GTA and Ontario through purchases, renewals, refinances and investment properties, but her real focus sits one level up: cash flow, debt, equity and where a client wants their finances to be years down the road. What is your business called and what does it do?

James Kelly didn't grow up knowing he wanted to be a writer, but once he fell into the whacky world of automotive journalism, he hasn't wanted to leave. In college, he found ways to make every paper he wrote related to automobiles and even hosted a show on the campus radio station called "The Engine Block. " James's experience involves road-testing brand new cars, breaking old cars, and everything in between. In German automakers' alphanumeric naming structure, there are letters and numbers that stand tall above the rest. “S” is the longstanding designator for the premier Mercedes-Benz executive sedans, and “7” adorns BMW’s high-class four-door. Audi uses A8 for its competitor in this segment. Meanwhile, Porsche certainly needs no explanation for its three-digit icons, often starting with "9. " The number 300 has designated some of the most impressive vehicles to come out of Mercedes-Benz, with the 300 SL from the 1950s likely the most famous among them. Though less celebrated than the 300 SL, the W188 300 S, also from the '50s, was one of the first performance grand tourers Mercedes built, long before AMG even existed.

Wilhelm's first experience as a motoring writer came in the early 2000s during job shadowing at Auto Express and Autocar magazines in the UK. Subsequently, he became a full-time motoring writer, contributing to websites and magazines across South Africa, the UK, the USA, and Germany. In South Africa, he has built a strong client base of owners and collectors who have given him access to their cars for feature stories. Depreciation is truly the friend of secondhand car buyers. It has created compelling opportunities in the used luxury-car market, allowing buyers to get behind the wheel of German executive cars that originally commanded substantial prices, for a fraction of their showroom prices. Despite their significantly lower used values, these vehicles still offer features that feel remarkably modern, including sophisticated infotainment systems, digital instrument clusters, and advanced driver-assistance technology. However, an attractive purchase price does not automatically translate into affordable ownership. Maintenance, repairs, and the potential for further depreciation remain important considerations when deciding whether a used luxury car represents genuine value.
