Car Deal of the Day: Get EV3-style for less with a Kia Niro EV for £238 per month

285 mile-range; easy to drive Just £237.50 a month Nearly £100 a month cheaper than EV3 The new EV3 may be the Kia that's (rightly) in the spotlight right now, but don't forget the other electric car that has helped Kia to become a leading EV maker – the Niro EV. It may not have the EV3's new factor, but the Niro EV is still an excellent electric family hatchback – especially if you're new to the world of EV motoring. Add in the fact that the Niro costs around £100 less a month on lease than its glitzier sister, and it's a winner in our book.

This 36-month agreement has a 5,000-miles-a-year cap, but this can be revised up to 8,000 for an extra £17.16 a month. This deal gets you a Niro EV in 2 spec. It's the lowest of the two-trim line-up, with the higher being – you guessed it – 3. The range has recently been rationalised and you can thank the EV3's arrival for that, probably. Still, 2 gets you 17-inch alloys, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, sat-nav, rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, and a plethora of safety kit. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below The Niro also gets a 64.8kWh battery pack that's good for a claimed 285 miles. In our testing we've found 250 miles to be the most likely range you can get, which is still pretty good. The interior is well finished and has a design that's very similar to that of its EV6 big brother. It's roomy, too, with plenty of space for a couple of six-footers in the back, while the boot is huge at 475 litres. Fold down the back seats and this rises to nearly 1,400 litres, plus there are plenty of clever storage places such as a handy 'frunk' under the bonnet.

2026 BMW M5 Touring Sinks Deeper Into Six Figures

The BMW M5 Touring arrived less than a year ago, and although it has an uncommon body style, plenty of buyers have gravitated to it quickly. Unfortunately, its magnetism may have to wane slightly with the 2026 model, as order guide data obtained by CarsDirect indicates a higher base price for the new model year. While the current 2025 model sells for $121,500 (before delivery or any options), the 2026 M5 Touring will reportedly retail for no less than $123,900, an increase of $2,400. What do you get for the extra cash? Just a new VIN, it seems. The new MSRP represents an increase of 2% and falls in line with a previous report from the same publication, which indicated that BMW's pricing would be increasing by as much as 3% from July, depending on the model. Although BMW will doubtless be impacted by new tariffs on imported vehicles, the increased prices don't appear to be a direct result thereof, as this is no more aggressive a price adjustment than we've seen from the Bavarian brand in years gone by. Indeed, the M5 sedan went from $119,500 for the 2025 model year to $121,900 for 2026. With the Touring getting a similar price bump, the difference between the two body styles remains $2,000. If you want an M car with four doors for less than six figures, you'll have to spring for the 2026 M3. With no updates for 2026, buyers won't be getting anything more for the extra outlay, but they're doing themselves and other wagon enthusiasts a service. According to BMW M CEO Frank van Meel, the wagon is outselling the sedan, and that may be good news for those hankering after an M3 with a long roof. Although the G81 M3 isn't available in the U.S., a BMW executive told BMW Blog earlier this year that the G99's success could lead to the M3 wagon being sold in America. Sylvia Neubauer, VP of Customer, Brand, Sales at BMW M, told the publication that "it's just too late for the current model of the M3 Touring," but hinted that enough vocalized demand could change that. "Please tell them [prospective M3 Touring buyers] to go for the M5 Touring. And tell the dealers next time when we ask the question that they say, 'Thumbs up, we want an M3 Touring.'" So if people keep buying the M5 Touring despite its price increase, and if those buyers keep pressuring their dealers to make an M3 wagon available in America, it could happen with the ZA1 M3, which is shaping up to be an absolute monster.

Mercedes-Benz E 450 All-Terrain Cargo Test: How Much Has Changed in 12 Years?

One thing that has survived all these years is a brilliant feature common to wagons that should 100% be common in SUVs. The E 450 not only has a roll-out cargo cover, but a roll-up cargo net that attaches to the roof. Using it negates one of the reasons I never load to the roof: the possibility of luggage flying into the cabin. It can also keep pets in the caboose. In my old S212, the cover and net rolls are encased in a single unit, which may be some clever engineering, but holy moly does it weigh a lot. Considering I have to climb way into the car to reach it (and not get it caught in the third-row seat belts), removal can be rather difficult. The S214 has two separate units that neatly sandwich together on separate brackets. This is what Audi does. The individual units themselves are also much much lighter. It's also worth noting that the cargo cover still automatically slides up the rearmost pillar when you open the liftgate and slides down once closed. The BMW M5 Touring does not do this.

BMW M5 Touring sales surpass expectations with equal demand for wagons and sedans

BMW M5 Touring sales surpass expectations with equal demand for wagons and sedans While it seems like there's always another new SUV coming out, wagons still hold a cherished, if shrunken place in the automotive world. BMW recently learned (to its surprise) that maybe that space isn't so tiny after all, as revealed in an interview of Sylvia Neubauer — vice president of customer, brand and sales at BMW M — with BMW Blog, where the VP dropped the news that the new M5 Touring (BMW-speak for wagon) is proving to be a sleeper hit with customers. When asked about the high-performance M5's production rollout, Neubauer admitted to BMW Blog that the original plan was to build more sedans than wagons. The split? About two-thirds of M5s would be four-doors and only a third would be Touring wagons. Turns out that the M5 Touring is far more popular than BMW M anticipated, with early orders skewing the mix to an even 50-50 split between the two body styles. Partly, this could be enthusiasm for the first-ever M5 Touring to make it to America; partly it's because historically, BMW hasn't built that many M5 Tourings for anywhere. 2025 Acura ADX: Pricing and features of Acura's new entry-level SUV Affluence made affordable: Our picks for the cheapest luxury SUVs of 2025 The M5 (Touring) is on sale now at over $125,000 If a long-roof take on the newest M5 tickles your tailgate, the 2025 BMW M5 Touring is available now starting at $125,275. If you want maximal handling upgrades, the optional M Driver's Package adds another $2,500 and includes a one-day high-performance driving class while M Drive Professional adds M Boost, M Laptimer, and the ten-stage M Traction Control is another $900 to the base price. You can also have your calipers in either black or red for no extra cost, but a set of M Carbon Ceramic Brakes will set you back another $8,500. If you want a few creature comforts in your ultimate driving wagon, there are some options to add to your 2025 BMW M5 Touring order. If you just want Active Driving Assist — BMWs radar-based cruise control — you'll need to add around $650, but a separate Driving Assistance Professional package adds in additional ADAS features for partial autonomous driving for $1,700. Glowing kidney grilles will add another $500 to your MSRP, but it's included as part of the $1,600 Executive Package that adds front and rear heated seats, interior camera, ventilated front seats, manual rear window shades and Parking Assistant Plus. Of course, if you want the M5 sedan, because traditional trunks and a mere four doors is your thing, the 2025 BMW M5 sedan is still on offer for $123,275 to start. C'mon, you know you want to spend the extra $2,000 for the Touring... Photos by MotorTrend Staff, Manufacturer
