Try using

- radiosity for more realistic lighting
- a HDRI environment for realistic reflections (of course,
   textures reflectivities must also be checked)
- area lights for soft shadows.

Some of the hard edges on the model may contribute to a cartoony
or artificial look as well. Unfortunately there is no cure for that
except modelling rounded / bevelled edges.

Also, the tires could be a little darker, I think.
