The first half of 2025 brings real surprises - some automotive innovations 2025 - brands that have often operated in the shadow of the German premium trio are now stepping into the spotlight. Expect a mix of brutal performance, innovative electric solutions and nostalgic returns of cult models. Below, we present 8 exceptional automotive innovations of the first half of 2025 that will set the pace of this year and prove that diversity and courage push the boundaries of mobility.
If last year the Apple Watch Series 10 tried to celebrate its tenth anniversary with a design overhaul that was so subtle that many people didn't even notice it, this year the expectations are a bit higher. Especially since Apple's watches have been losing market share for two years in a row (yes, even Xiaomi now has a smartwatch for half a snack). So it's no surprise that the tech public is full of expectations to see if the Apple Watch Series 11 will finally bring something more than just "another year, another chip". Below we summarize the most interesting rumors - from the release date to 5G connectivity and (non-invasive) blood pressure measurement. No, there will still be no camera - but hey, who really wants to take pictures from their wrist?
The Avatr 07 is the new hero of the Chinese electric SUV market, coming from the star trio of Changan, CATL and Huawei. Yes, you read that right – this car has more in common with your smartphone than with your uncle’s diesel Passat. It is available in pure electric (BEV) and extended range hybrid (EREV) versions, and it is priced very confidently – from 219,900 CNY (about 29,000 €), which is almost tastelessly affordable in the “premium SUV with massage seats” class. And it aims high: the competition includes names like Tesla Model Y, Nio ES6 and BYD Tang. Feeling threatened? Maybe you should.
The new generation Jeep Compass 2026 is here and – surprisingly or not – it brings the most that this compact SUV has ever offered. It will be available in different drive flavors: from a mild hybrid for urban adventurers to an electric model for quiet but determined eco-fighters. In the electric version with a 74 kWh battery, front-wheel drive and a range of up to 500 kilometers (according to WLTP), the price will start at € 50,400 – and that's for the First Edition version. Yes, so it's not an ascetic basic version, but a model that is already specifically equipped.
It's early June, and the air in Cupertino smells not of innovation but of panic — and perhaps a little of the sweat from under the designer-tailored shirts of Apple executives. This is what's happening at WWDC 2025.

The Lotus Emira V6 SE is more than just a sports car; it is a tribute to analogue driving ecstasy in a world of digital cars.
In 2023, many electric cars have seen their prices drop significantly due to the rapid development of battery technologies and new models. In this article, we present seven models - the best used electric cars that have lost the most value (among those with large losses), list their key specifications (power, torque, battery capacity, range, acceleration, top speed), and compare the recommended retail price at launch (Europe/Germany) and the current lowest price for a used model (found on mobile.de or AutoScout24). All data is based on real sources and will help you decide whether to buy a used high-performance EV.
