Welcome to CompleteCar.ie

We brought you news of the new BMW iX4 electric coupe-SUV last night and those of you that read it all the way through may have noticed us mention that the iX4 M60 xDrive’s feisty powertrain would also be available in the iX3. Well, here it is. By way of reminder, this is an M Performance Vehicle, so not quite the full-beans M car, but it has been developed by the M division. Key figures: 612hp, 875Nm of torque, 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds and a range of 754km. Oh and it has yellow lights.

Porsche is going through a massive change as we’ve already described in detail in our story here, but the company has also just teased its new supercar project called Mission S on Instagram. Little is known as yet, but it is expected that Mission S will introduce a new model line that will be positioned above the Porsche 911 and could be powered by an electrified flat-eight petrol engine. More will be revealed on 15 October.  

It has been nearly a year since we got our first taste of the Cupra Raval, in prototype form, and now it has launched in Ireland we're very happy to confirm that this little EV is a superb car. It ticks all the sensible boxes, in terms of range, efficiency and pricing, but it is also huge fun to drive and of excellent quality. Anyway, we've updated our detailed review of the car with impressions of the mid-range Endurance variant, which Shane reckons is the pick of the lineup.

The embargo lifted during the night on the fully unveiled Jaguar Type 01. The full news story is linked below and within that you'll find Dave's ridiculously detailed video introduction to the car. He travelled over to the UK a while back to see it in a secret studio in person and produced one of his typically comprehensive video walkarounds. Go grab a cuppa and give it a watch.

Renault is adding a panoramic glass roof option to the Twingo, with the new ‘Twingobay’ option set to appear at the 2026 Paris Motor Show next week. The fixed roof has no blind, but Renault says its multilayer construction filters 99.9 per cent of UV radiation and limits heat entering the cabin. Renault is also introducing Google Gemini as an optional over-the-air replacement for Google Assistant on cars using its OpenR Link infotainment system.
