My Monday morning was brightened by the new Ford UK Ranger Wildtrak. Handsome thing, even in orange.

Had a go in the F-150 Lightning electric pick-up, too. Absolute beast. Loved it.

Following the launch of the Funky Cat, Ora will follow up with this saloon next year.

Another big debut at Shanghai is the Polestar 4

Out in the new Alfa Romeo UK Stelvio this morning. New headlights on show, while there’s a new instrument cluster inside. Can’t say what it’s like to drive until May 3…

The new Porsche Cayenne made its public debut at Shanghai. Fully digital interior along the new features.

And for the afternoon entertainment, the Giulia. Same new headlights and interior changes, but in a saloon body.

The Volkswagen ID. 7 made its public debut at Shanghai. Will be VW’s current range champion. VW CEO Thomas Schäfer also attended the show.

Also on the Ora stand was the Ballet Cat. #AutoShanghai2023

Here's my first look video of the Polestar 4 at #AutoShanghai2023 Watch here: youtu.be/hk20tFaZLsc

Driving the Ora Lightning Cat today. This Chinese spec is slightly different from the European model.

Aston Martin has just sent this image out, previewing a replacement for the DB11. We'll see more on May 24. Reckon it will still feature a V12?

In Gothenburg today to drive the updated Volvo XC40. Changes are mostly under the skin, including an increase to battery capacity thus extending range.

Out in the Austrian Alps today driving the new Porsche Cayenne in Coupe and SUV forms

I’m in Berlin this afternoon to play with a Genesis you can now open with your face. True fact.

Out in Barcelona today with the new Honda UK ZR-V. Can’t say much about it yet, but this is a top-spec Advance model.

Bit late to the 911 Sport Classic party, but oof… Fabulous bit of kit, this.

So glad I'll be at this year's Goodwood FOS to see the McMurtry Spéirling PURE in action. And it'll be available to buy! First ever "commercially available sealed skirt fan car". Spectacular.

Driving the hydrogen-powered BMW UK iX5 today. You won’t be able to buy one any time soon, but it’s a test bed for “potential” future hydrogen products.

Spent this morning with the updated Polestar 2. The new grille might divide opinion, but a claimed range of more than 400 miles on a charge will doubtless appeal to many.
