    VW Group seems to occupy every niche, as the sporty plug‑in hybrid EV Cupra Leon VZe demonstrates. Based on the Golf GTE but with a totally different look and feel, the Mazda3‑sized, Spanish‑made Leon VZe combines an electric motor and a small turbo‑petrol engine for limited pure‑EV driving around town, or stirring performance out on the open road. But it's expensive and ergonomically flawed.

    Mercedes has gone to some effort to ensure its range of plug‑in hybrids doesn't come at a significantly higher cost to customers. Does one of the brand's most iconic nameplates still make sense with electrification in the mix, though?

    The E53 large car broke plenty of new ground for Mercedes‑AMG in 2018. Three years later, it's been treated to a facelift that doesn't really mess with what's been a largely successful formula. And yes, that's very good news.

    The Lexus LC 500 has always been big and bold, and the addition of a folding fabric roof has done nothing to change that for this Convertible version. In fact, it makes hearing the rumble of that big V8 even easier. But is it really a performance car? We put one to the test to find out.
