Jeep has finally officially unveiled the all-new generation Compass compact SUV. It is mostly a European product, based on the Stellantis STLA medium platform already used in Europe on models from Peugeot, Opel, and Citroen.

The all-new BMW i3 EV sedan is right around the corner, with an iX3 EV SUV will be coming out soon as well. And we are already talking about what’s next.

Then, a heavy refresh of the Chrysler Pacifica, as well as an all-new EV… Continue reading Chrysler Cordoba.

Ford killed the Fiesta in 2023. (It was discontinued long before in North America.) And a new EV generation could be on its way, thanks to VW. Apparently, the VW-based Ford EVs have been quite successful in Europe, after a delayed and rough start. Sales of the European Explorer EV and new Capri EV have… Continue reading Ford Fiesta EV.

While I already posted a few (more colorful) photos of the all-new Jeep Compass, these seem to show a slightly different trim. The front end shows more black plastic trim under the grille. Which could mean a more off-road oriented version of the new small Jeep. It also seems to show the EV version. It… Continue reading 2026 Jeep Compass.

The all-new Hyundai Ioniq 9 EV SUV was unveiled at the Los Angeles auto show last November. It took a while, but we finally know how much it will cost.

Another day, another spy shot of the upcoming 2nd-generation Kia Telluride for 2026. (Probably 2027 in the US) Even though it is over 5 years old, last year was the Telluride’s best year ever, with over 115,500 of them sold. Sales have been increasing every single year since its introduction in 2019. That means Kia… Continue reading 2026/27 Kia Telluride.

These are the first official photos I have seen of the all-new Jeep Compass for the 2026 model year. They all show the European market version of the new model. And probably the EV trim. And so far, so good. The design seems to be very attractive and chunky. Just like in other modern Jeeps,… Continue reading 2026 Jeep Compass.

As promised a few months ago, Honda has updated the CR-V for the 2026 model year. The biggest change is the addition of a new TrailSport trim. In general, the 2026 model looks exactly the same as the current version. The only changes reported by Honda are a larger screen, wireless charging, and wireless CarPlay.… Continue reading 2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport.

Back in October, we heard news that Toyota was pushing back its EV manufacturing plans in the US. Things have obviously changed since, and they are now planing to introduce 10 new EV models by 2027. Including the Lexus brand. Toyota has just launched the revised BZ4X, a new C-HR+, and the Urban Cruiser in… Continue reading Lexus 3-row EV SUV.

The Elexio is an all-new Hyundai EV model. It was previously thought to be called the Ioniq 4. This is a new product that will be sold only in China. Hyundai claims it is using a new platform. Which could mean it is not related to the Ioniq series we are familiar with. The Elexio… Continue reading Hyundai Elexio.

It looks like a new Tesla model prototype might have been caught on camera. The 2 images on top seem to show a car with no doors or roof, in a parking lot full of Tesla Model Y. However, it also looks a lot like the Model 3, without doors or a roof. So, who… Continue reading Tesla Compact.

Please join me and watch this short video showing a bit of my experience driving a Honda Accord Hybrid for a week. I had test-driven the Accord Hybrid a couple of years ago, and somehow, liked it much more this time around. I guess my expectations were different this time around. And I wasn’t comparing… Continue reading Honda Accord Hybrid test drive video.

Alfa Romeo is getting ready to replace both the Stelvio SUV and the Giulia sedan. Today, we see, for the first time, patent images of the 2nd generation Stelvio SUV.
