AutoWeek first appeared as a magazine in January 1990. The website autoweek.nl was first launched in April 1997.
On April 14, 2000, AutoWeek.nl was transformed into a true car portal. For the first time, it featured current news, as well as tests and the CarBase database. In 2001, the forum was added, allowing car enthusiasts to connect. In 2002, we launched user reviews, then called Myreview Auto. In more than 20 years, more than 40,000 car reviews have been written by visitors to this site. In 2006, editors began making video productions. A team of 10 permanent editors and numerous freelancers are responsible for daily car news and extensive testing. An in-house video team is responsible for the video production. Almost every day a new video is published on AutoWeek.nl.
