In just a few days, a PHEV version of the Toyota harrier (Venza in the US) will be available in Japan. It will produce 302HP and have an EV range of 58-mile in the local test cycle.

2023 Honda Accord: official teasers…
Honda has just released official photo teasers for the next-generation 2023 Accord sedan. We can actually see quite a bit. and it looks a lot like the illustration posted a while ago (bottom pic).

After the Niro Hybrid and PHEV, a few days ago Kia announced pricing for the new 2023 EV version. It’ll start at $40 745 for the base Wind model. And $5000 more for the better-equipped Wave version.

Mystery prototype…
A reader sent me this picture taken in Europe (I’m being told Belgium) At first, it does look quite a bit like a Tesla Model Y, but look again. It’s actually quite different. And the body seems a bit wider than the chassis. Once you really start looking at it, it’s all kind of strange.… Continue reading Mystery prototype…

Toyota BZ3 sedan: official…
As mentioned earlier, the new Toyota BZ3 sedan is a joint venture between Toyota and BYD in China. And the car is so far only scheduled to be sold in China. At least until 2024, when it could actually make it to the European market. Nothing official about the North American market. Toyota claims a… Continue reading Toyota BZ3 sedan: official…

2024 Buick Electra: new spy shots…
This is quite a generic GM shape. Sure, it could be the upcoming Electra EV. Which will be the first electric Buick. Supposedly is closely related to the Cadillac Lyriq. A Buick version of the Lyriq if you will. But this also looks like it could be related to the Chevrolet Equinox EV. Although the… Continue reading 2024 Buick Electra: new spy shots…

2023/24 Mazda CX-80/90: new illustration…
With European plates, this is supposed to show us what the CX-80 will look like. Which is basically a longer CX-60 with a 3rd row of seats. From spy shots and videos we’ve seen, the US CX-90 might actually look the same, or almost. Which is pretty sad. Since the non-US CX-60 already looks pretty… Continue reading 2023/24 Mazda CX-80/90: new illustration…

Fiat 500e Abarth: new spy shot…
The new Fiat 500e will, of course, get a sportier Abarth version soon. While the 500e isn’t for sale in the US. it has been in Europe for almost 2 years now. Where it starts at well under $30 000 for the base model. 2 batteries are offered. The largest one still has only a… Continue reading Fiat 500e Abarth: new spy shot…

2024 Chevrolet Trax RS: new video…
I previously posted a video of the new Activ version of the 2024 Chevrolet Trax. Today we see the RS model. RS usually means “sporty” in the Chevy lingo. Except in the case of the new Trax, it just “looks slightly sporty. Since all Trax models share the same powertrain with 139HP. There won’t be… Continue reading 2024 Chevrolet Trax RS: new video…

2024 Hyundai Ioniq7: spy shot?
This new Hyundai SUV was just caught on a transport truck. I just assume it could be the upcoming Ioniq 7 3-row EV, but who knows. It does look quite different from the Seven Concept we saw last year at the Los Angeles Auto Show. But that concept didn’t really look like a production car… Continue reading 2024 Hyundai Ioniq7: spy shot?

Tesla Model Y: new colors…
Tesla has just unveiled two 2 colors that are now available on the Model Y. Although there’s a catch. These colors are only available for the cars built in the new Berlin factory. That factory has a specific paint shop apparently required to produce the 2 new colors. So this is strictly for European customers… Continue reading Tesla Model Y: new colors…

Toyota bZ-3: official teaser…
It is now official, we will see the new Toyota electric sedan next month. It won’t be a total surprise since we’ve actually seen it before in early photos. The BZ-3 will be Toyota’s second fully electric model, following the BZ4X released last year. Unlike the SUV, the upcoming sedan is so far a Chinese… Continue reading Toyota bZ-3: official teaser…

GMC Sierra EV: the other guys…
On top o the $107 000 Denali Edition One for 2024, GMC will offer other versions for the 2025 model year. We know at least two, the ET-4 and Elevation. You can tell the Elevation will probably be the most affordable of all versions. As the interior doesn’t seem as fancy. Although it’s all a… Continue reading GMC Sierra EV: the other guys…

2024 GMC Sierra EV: official…
GMC has launched the new 2024 Sierra Denali EV. Of course, the Denali is the top-of-the-line version. And the first model available will be a super loaded “Denali Edition One”. And guess what, it’s another “over $100 000 electric truck”. It joins the Hummer EV and Silverado EV in the over $100 000 club. The… Continue reading 2024 GMC Sierra EV: official…

Cadillac Lyriq: new video with new color…
I just stumbled on this interesting video. It shows a color I had never seen on the Lyriq. It’s obviously shot in China, where the Cadillac Lyriq is also built for the local market. The Chinese-built Lyriq has previously been shown in a cool new light blue color. And also with a great brown/black interior… Continue reading Cadillac Lyriq: new video with new color…

2023 Hyundai Grandeur: more photos…
That’s it really. Just a few more photos of the new Hyundai Grandeur sedan for 2023. The Grandeur used to be sold in the US, as the Azera. Until around 2025 since a new generation came out in 2026 and that one never made it over here. Toyota isn’t abandoning the “semi-premium” large sean in… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Grandeur: more photos…

Mitsubishi XFC Concept: anything from anyone…
Mitsubishi just unveiled a new SUV concept called the XFC. It basically could be any other USV out there from any other brand in the world. Anything from anyone is what this is. It’s not ugly mind you. It actually looks just fine. I like the interior cloth trim on the dash The wide screen… Continue reading Mitsubishi XFC Concept: anything from anyone…

2023 Hyundai Grandeur: finally!
I have to say, this is even better than what I was expecting. Even though we’ve seen spy shots and illustrations of these for a long long time ( I think I was my first one when I was 17) the new 2023 Grandeur truly looks great. Of course, it is “kind of” a retro… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Grandeur: finally!

Foxtron Model B: official…
Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn just unveiled the Model B, based on their new EV platform. The Model B will be sold under the new Foxtron brand. Not much is known about this new Model B. It has an expected range of 280 miles. Which is OK. And will eventually be built in the US at the… Continue reading Foxtron Model B: official…

2024 Kia EV9: a look inside…
The top photo is so far the best look we’ve had of the new Kia EV9 dashboard. As you can see, it is very different, of course, from last year’s concept. Although no one seriously expected anything close. It’s actually hard to tell anything from the spy shot, except the steering wheel design. Being it… Continue reading 2024 Kia EV9: a look inside…
