Our tests of the week
Aiways U6: an SUV that deserves to be known
The young Chinese brand Aiways has launched its SUV in France, the U6, a serious competitor for the Tesla Model Y. We love its road performance, its measured consumption and the interior of the vehicle, which is both well designed and spacious. We regret that the U6 does not have a scheduler and certain alarms are too frequent. Aiways will have to improve its interface and fix some bugs in a future update.

Samsung Galaxy A54 5G: a mid-range reference
The Galaxy A54 5G has gained in power over its predecessor, but that’s not enough to justify its increased price. We love the beautiful finish of the hull, the sound quality, and the presence of a microSD card reader, but we regret that the autonomy is still so average and that the charge is so slow. Note that the charger is not present in the box.
