There’s infotainment and then there’s this in the MINI USA Cooper at World Car Awards LA Test Drives. The guy peeking over the edge is Spike, a virtual assistant. He’s the bar by which I will measure all other infotainment systems. #wcoty #worldcarawards #mini #theroadreflected

Kicking off World Car Awards test drives with something new . . . @kia #ev3 . . . Drive this Korean Domestic Market version and learned it is NOT a baby #EV6 . . . #wcoty #worldcar #kiaev3

Swift ahoy! Global model is very similar to desi Maruti #Swift. But not as 100% the same. Watch this to know what it gets that we don’t get in India (I’m sure you knew at least one of the diffs for sure). SVP #MarutiSuzuki #suzukiswift #hatch #wcoty Maruti Suzuki Maruti Suzuki Swift

Penultimate test car of the event for me is the Subaru Impreza RSI, painted bright blue and powered by a 2.5-litre ‘boxer’ engine driving through all four wheels. Sadly nowhere near as exciting as that recipe sounds…

Last but certainly not least is the 782hp Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, a plug-in hybrid that thinks it’s a sports car. Crazy capable. Not sure about the purple-ish colour though. #WorldCarAwards

All the sports utes! Of the many nominated for the 2025 World Car Awards, a sizeable number showed up for our jurors to test at the L.A. Test Drive this year. Which one is your favourite of this very varied group of SUVs? #wcoty #worldcarawards #suv #nominee

The L.A. test drives always attract a wide variety of cars. But this year we got a generous share of the compacts. And they also displayed quite a variety of design, tech, engineering, shape, and size! #wcoty #worldcarawards #latestdrives #pasadena #testdrive #compactcar
