2024 Kia EV9: new video teaser…
Kia just released a very short video teaser for the all-new EV9 electric SUV. We saw the concept last year. And Kia did show quite a few “official spy shots” a few months ago of a prototype wearing very thin camouflage showing the whole thing. Or almost. As I mentioned earlier, I wasn’t impressed by… Continue reading 2024 Kia EV9: new video teaser…

New Mengshi 917: the extroverted Hummer’s Chinese cousin…
This new Mengshi SUV from Chinese manufacturer Dongfeng makes anything else seem tame. There are enough lines here to design about 10 other models. It’s basically all over the place. (The logo alone seems so aggressive). Although, after the initial shock, it seems almost OK. There’s something about it… Apparently, this is an EV. Powered… Continue reading New Mengshi 917: the extroverted Hummer’s Chinese cousin…

2024 Hyundai Elantra: new illustrations…
These show what a revised 2024 Hyundai Elantra could look like. And it already looks much better than the current model. The current generation Elantra has a striking design. Especially when compared to the super conservative and old-looking Civic sedan. But that front end is just out of place. The one shown in these illustrations… Continue reading 2024 Hyundai Elantra: new illustrations…

2024 Kia Sorento: new spy shots…
From the spy shots above, it’s obvious the 2024 Kia Sorento will finally be able to look a bit more like the super-popular Telluride. Even the illustration below the spy pics shows Telluride-like vertical lights. back when the current generation came out a couple of years ago, almost everyone was guessing it will look like… Continue reading 2024 Kia Sorento: new spy shots…

Apple car: so many (crazy) guesses…
Over the past few years, there have been tons of “Apple Car” illustrations. People have been trying to guess what a car designed by the tech giant could look like. Including a super retrofuturistic look. (pic 2&3). These illustrations have been around for a while. There’s also a new retro/odd/cartoony one on Instagram (one of… Continue reading Apple car: so many (crazy) guesses…

New solar car beats record…
No, the Sunswift 7 isn’t the best-looking car out there. But with a 625 miles range, it could be one of the most efficient. The Sunswift 7 is an experimental Solar car from a group of students at the University of NSW in Australia. It took the car almost 12 hours to cover 1000km. With… Continue reading New solar car beats record…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: another video…
Unlike the mostly static shots of the previous Ioniq 6 video I posted earlier, this shows you more of the car in action. Again, I am really looking forward to seeing the car after enjoying it at the Los Angeles Auto show last month. Just like the Ioniq 5, the new sedan feels very special… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: another video…

2023 Lincoln Corsair: Vs. the Chinese version…
The Lincoln Corsair just got a few changes for the 2023 model year a few weeks ago. At almost the same time we also saw a couple of photos of a very different Chinese market model. The Chinese version also got some changes for 2023. Making it look quite different from the US version. Which… Continue reading 2023 Lincoln Corsair: Vs. the Chinese version…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: the video…
I got to see the new Hyundai Ioniq 6 in person at the Los Angeles Auto Show last month. And it is a very impressive car in real life. Yes, it does look a bit weird from some angles. But in a good way. It just looks like nothing else on the road. It also… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: the video…

Instagram AI cars: some cool stuff…
AI illustrations have been a very controversial topic lately. Especially since some of these have become so realistic. It’s getting hard to tell reality from computer-generated objects. I thought I’d share some of my favorite Instagram finds. Many of these seem to be from car or product designers. Like the stuff from @an_improbable_future . Others… Continue reading Instagram AI cars: some cool stuff…

2024 Hyundai Santa Fe: new illustration…
Once again, the people at Hitekro did a fabulous job at illustrating the upcoming 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. The whole thing looks super realistic. Unfortunately, I really hope they are wrong. Of course, the new illustration does match many of the spy photos we have seen. But these super low rear lights just make the… Continue reading 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe: new illustration…

2025 Chevrolet Colorado EV?
GM just released these 2 really cool truck sketches from designer Ben Wilkins. You can see an obvious “homage” to the old 3rd generation Chevrolet C/K pick-up trucks launched in 1973. But it also reminds me of the new 2023 Colorado. I really think this is one of the possibilities for the upcoming Colorado EV.… Continue reading 2025 Chevrolet Colorado EV?

Tesla Model 3: new rebate…
Just a few days ago, Tesla was offering a $3750 rebate on the Model 3. A few days later, they added free charging for 10 000 miles. And now, the rebate is up to $7500. The main reason is probably to boost sales right before the end of the year. Just to make sure final… Continue reading Tesla Model 3: new rebate…

2204 Chevrolet Equinox: Vs. Equinox EV…
At least from these early spy photos, the next-generation Equinox looks pretty old and stodgy compared to the Equinox EV. It basically looks like an older-generation model. While the Equinox EV looks truly modern. It basically looks much more conservative. And that’s how GM will keep the ICE Equinox alive. Soon, non-EV will appeal to… Continue reading 2204 Chevrolet Equinox: Vs. Equinox EV…

2024 Cadillac compact EV: new illustration…
We already know a new Cadillac EV is coming since prototypes were caught a while ago. This new illustration is trying to match (more or less) the spy shots and give us an idea of what the new EV will look like. Being smaller than the Lyriq it will probably share quite a bit with… Continue reading 2024 Cadillac compact EV: new illustration…

Cadillac Lyriq: the “frunk”…
Yes, it looks like you can actually get a front trunk on the Cadillac Lyriq EV. At least in the RWD version. And only if you live in China… It doesn’t appear to be that big, but it’s better than nothing. And seems quite a bit larger than what Hyundai and Kia are offering in… Continue reading Cadillac Lyriq: the “frunk”…

2024 Mercedes GLA: spy shots…
The current Mercedes GLA has already been out for about 3 years. And. I guess it’s time for the usual mid-cycle refresh. It actually won’t be much of a refresh. At least visually. Outside, it will be the usual tiny changes that no one will be able to see. And it looks like the interior… Continue reading 2024 Mercedes GLA: spy shots…
-
Mystery Kia EV: spy shots…
The sharp angle on the A-pillar is reminiscent of the EV6, and the upcoming EV9 SUV. Both Kia and Hyundai are working on smaller electric crossovers. And sometimes, it seems similar design cues are used by both brands. For instance, there’s something very “KIAish” in the new 2024 Hyundai Kona profile. The rear side window… Continue reading Mystery Kia EV: spy shots…

Mini Aceman: new illustration…
The top illustration is supposed to show us what the all-new Mini Aceman will look like. We basically already know what it’ll look like since we’ve seen quite a few spy shots of the new model. And they all look very close to the concept we saw a few months ago. (pic 2&3). The illustration… Continue reading Mini Aceman: new illustration…

2024 Hyundai Kona: official photos…
After all these spy shots and illustrations, today is the day we finally get to see the real thing: the new 2024 Hyundai Kona. At least in these early photos, it looks much better than any illustrations I have seen. The N Line and Electric models have painted fenders. Which is nice. The regular Kona… Continue reading 2024 Hyundai Kona: official photos…
