2023 BMW XM: new patent images…
These new patent images show the clear differences between the production version of the BMW XM, and the concept. Things have been toned down quite a bit for production. As expected. It’s really too bad about the rear lights. Since the ones in the concept were truly original. and probably feasible for production. The most… Continue reading 2023 BMW XM: new patent images…

2023 Tesla Model 3,Y: new steering wheel…
Apparently, Tesla is about to replace the steering wheel on the Model 3 and Model Y. No, it will not be replaced by the “yoke” from the Model S. But by a new design also used in the upcoming Semi truck. (pictured above)Where the stalks are replaced by small touch-sensitive areas on each side. Which… Continue reading 2023 Tesla Model 3,Y: new steering wheel…

2023 Kia EV9: new illustrations…
These new illustrations seem pretty realistic. Obviously based on the recent photos we just was a few days ago. Showing a slightly toned-down design from last year’s concept from the Los Angeles Auto Show. The production model still looks quite goofy. But at least, it won’t be a boring sight. This will surely stand out… Continue reading 2023 Kia EV9: new illustrations…

2023 VW Tavendor: official photos…
The Tavendor is a new VW SUV for the Chinese market. Size-wise, it fits right in between the Atlas and Tiguan. When compared to US models. I guess this will stay in China since VW is concetrating on EVs for our market. Not sure how roomy this is, but it does look quite a bit… Continue reading 2023 VW Tavendor: official photos…

2023/24 Mazda 6: new illustrations…
Most people agree there will not be another generation of the Mazda 6 sedan. Even though there were plenty of rumors of a new one based on their new RWD platform shared with the CX-60. Still, once in a while, we see new illustrations emerging here and there. Like these two. Showing something completely different.… Continue reading 2023/24 Mazda 6: new illustrations…

2024 Hyundai Tucson: new illustration…
This is a weird one. I guess, eventually, the Tucson will get some modifications. Some sort of a mid-cycle facelift as they call it. But this illustration seems way early. And really horrible. The current Tucson is really good looking. A larger squared-off grille like the one on the 2023 Palisade would be quite a… Continue reading 2024 Hyundai Tucson: new illustration…

2023 Buick Envista: official photos…
The new 2023 Buick Envista is a very stylish crossover for the Chinese market. It will fit in between the Encore GS and the Envision. In China, prices will start at the low $20 000s. In the US, the Encore GS starts at around $27 000. While the Envision starts at under $32 000. A… Continue reading 2023 Buick Envista: official photos…

Toyota bZ3: first photos…
Even though we have seen prototypes before, these are the first photos of the new Toyota electric sedan without any camouflage. The model above is scheduled for the Chinese market, where it could be competing with the Tesla Model 3 and many other Chinese models. And it looks exactly the same as the “EV Sedan… Continue reading Toyota bZ3: first photos…

2023 Kia EV9: official spy photos…
Today we get to see how close the production Kia EV9 will be to the concept. And it’s really close. It seems most of the toy-like aspects of the design have been retained. For better or worse. The main difference seems to be that goofy-looking chrome trim on the side. Or maybe that’s also part… Continue reading 2023 Kia EV9: official spy photos…

2023 Mazda CX-70: new spy photo…
Mazda has released very few new models in the past few years. Sure, we just got the CX-50. Which is specific to North America and based on the CX-30. And Europe just got the RWD-based CX-60. (above) The big news will be the CX-70 and CX-90 for our market. All are based on the new… Continue reading 2023 Mazda CX-70: new spy photo…

2023/24 Jeep Jeepster: first look inside…
This is the first time we get to see the interior of the all-new compact Jeep crossover. We’ve talked about this a few times before. This time we also get to see a manual version. Which also means it’s not an EV. The interior seems fine. With a few nice touches. As previously mentioned, this… Continue reading 2023/24 Jeep Jeepster: first look inside…

2023 Hyundai Grandeur: a look inside…
This is the best view, so far, I’ve seen of the next-generation Hyundai Grandeur/Azera for 2023. And so far, it matches the retro-futuristic exterior design. This is shaping up to be a really good-looking luxury sedan. One that we won’t be getting in the US. Unless Hyundai decides to sell us an EV version as… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Grandeur: a look inside…

2023 Kia EV9: new spy shot…
The mew we see of the production model, the more it actually looks like the concept. In this new photo, the rear lights seem almost exactly the same. As well as most of the rest of the car. Again, I saw the EV9 concept in person last year and was not impressed. It was just… Continue reading 2023 Kia EV9: new spy shot…

2023 Volvo EXC-90: new illustration…
We just saw patent photos of the new Volvo EXC-90 a few days ago. And we now see some illustrations based on these patent designs. The one above looks really nice in green. Although you can see the general shape is the same as the current model. On sale since 2015. Apparently, a revised XC-90… Continue reading 2023 Volvo EXC-90: new illustration…

2023 Hyundai Kona EV: new illustrations…
Unfortunately, these new illustrations do look pretty close to the recent spy shots we’ve seen. If true, the 2023 Hyundai Kona wouldn’t really be an improvement over the current generation. Which, by the way, still looks pretty good. Although the interior could use something. Anything. This is just way too busy and overdone. These are… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Kona EV: new illustrations…

Dodge Charger Concept: the video…
The all-new Dodge Charger EV concept looks even better in this video. This is something that will look pretty fantastic in the flesh, driving around. Again, I have never been a fan of the ridiculous Hellcat versions of the current model. But the other versions do look great. Here we have what is basically the… Continue reading Dodge Charger Concept: the video…

Bentley Mulliner Batur: leaking…
The new Mulliner Bature coupe from Bentley will be officially shown tomorrow. But here it is. Just a bit early. This will not be your average $300 000 poor man Bentley. You will be able to pick any color or trim you want in the limited edition handmade car. (Apparently, it could be limited to… Continue reading Bentley Mulliner Batur: leaking…

2024 Acura ZDX: new teaser…
And that’s it. This isn’t much. But it’s the model I mentioned in my previous post about the Precision EV Concept. The ZDX will be Acura’s version of the Honda Prologue. I know it’s never been mentioned by Acura, but the timing strongly suggests it might be replacing the current RDX. Which is already 4… Continue reading 2024 Acura ZDX: new teaser…

Acura PrecisionEV Concept: official pix…
All I have to say is that I was expecting more. More than a sculpture. Acura is indeed hard at work on a new EV SUV based on the Honda Prologue. Both using GM’s Ultium platform. Which will give them similar proportions to the new Chevrolet Blazer EV. Looking more like a sporty wagon. The… Continue reading Acura PrecisionEV Concept: official pix…

2024 Ford Mustang: new illustration…
The new illustration above seems, unfortunately, very close to the various prototypes we’ve seen of the next-generation Ford Mustang. Let me predict a big failure for this next Mustang. Sure, sales are still fine. Especially considering the current worldwide situation. With 52 384 units sold last year, it is a bit down from previous… Continue reading 2024 Ford Mustang: new illustration…
