JAC 8: 7-Seater plug-in hybrid with 430 HP

It looks like a million dollars but costs NIS 250K. Does the Chinese brand that topped 2025 sales charts deliver real luxury or just seat massages hiding tricky ergonomics?

Looks great and cohesive, thanks to Land Rover and Audi for the inspiration.

Isrotel expands its presence in the North with Ayala Hotel in Upper Galilee

The 147-room hotel offers a distinctly Galilean experience that balances comfort with indulgence and a clear emphasis on nature, wellness, and locally sourced food.

BUILT ACROSS low, two-story stone structures, Ayala is embedded within its environment rather than standing apart from it.

MGS6: See what a price war in the EV market can do

Until a year ago, NIS 180,000 bought a Chinese family EV. Today, the same price gets a Tesla Model Y– or Ioniq 5–sized crossover for NIS 70,000 less. Is it a bargain?

The design demonstrates European roots, but could have been more interesting.

Tesla claims model 3 can travel to Eilat and back without charging. Is that true? We checked

With an official 750-kilometer range, the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive offers plenty of range for the NIS 226,000 it costs. Does it still compete with newer rivals, and how far can it really go?

The Model 3 is the Ford T of electric cars. Tesla updates it externally with the same caution that Volkswagen once updated the Beetle.

Vietnamese cars in their first Israeli test

Walla and Ma’ariv: A small VinFast electric car, about the size of a Yaris Cross and cheaper than a Kia Picanto. We look at its value and the chances it will be sold in Israel.

VinFast VF3. The company was founded in 2017 as a project by Vietnam’s richest man.

We drove the Japanese Toyota Corolla back in Israel

After a 1.5-year Turkish import ban, the Corolla returned cheaper, slightly Americanized, impressive in fuel efficiency, yet reminded us why buyers now prefer crossovers.

With the library? With the Corolla, still the most common car in the country.

The cheapest 7-seater cars in Israel: Which one is better?

Walla and Ma'ariv: For the first time, new 7-seater cars in Israel cost as little as family cars. Not Chinese: Dacia Jogger vs Opel Frontera – which suits you?

The Dacia (on the right) is more of a mini-van, the Opel has a classic crossover look.

After the price cuts of the Corolla and Octavia: An exceptional deal on the Mazda 3

Delek Motors offers NIS 15,000 off all Mazda 3 2026 models. The base 3 Comfort, 2.5L with 191 hp, starts at NIS 155,000.

CX-5. Currently offered at 175,000 NIS for the 2.5-liter model with all-wheel drive.

IM5: Driving a family ballistic missile with 777 horsepower

Walla & Ma’ariv: The Chinese IM from MG lands in Israel. Spacious, well-equipped, aiming at Tesla & XPeng. We were skeptical—after testing the IM5 Performance, much less so.

Everything is rounded and smooth so it slices through the air without threatening a single molecule.
