The two illustrations on top show what a next-generation Lexus IS sedan could look like. The bottom image, however, is from Lexus back in 2021. That computer-generated concept was shown about five years ago when Toyota was presenting roughly 21 upcoming EV prototypes. At the time, it felt like an ambitious and somewhat distant promise.… Continue reading 2027 Lexus IS.

The last thing most of us were expecting is a Polestar wagon, but here we are. Polestar is working on a wagon version of the Polestar 4 EV sedan, and it looks almost ready to go. It is expected to be unveiled before the end of the year, suggesting development is already at a very… Continue reading 2027 Polestar 4 Wagon.

I know a revised Chrysler Pacifica is right around the corner. If the Chrysler brand can last that long… But what a bout a new Minivan for the Dodge brand? Unlike the old Dodge Caravan, it would have to look different from the Chrysler version. And be based on a much newer platform like STLA.… Continue reading Dodge Caravan return for 2028?

Just like a few months ago, Ford just had another presentation about their all-new Universal EV platform, without showing any product. We will have to wait even longer to see that new $30,000 electric pickup. However, we now know the general silhouette of the truck, thanks to the image above. This definitely shows something that… Continue reading Ford’s new 2028 EV truck.

We’ve been seeing spy shots of the next-generation Range Rover Velar for well over a year now. And most of those early prototypes were wrapped in extremely heavy camouflage. Thick cladding, fake panels, and confusing light signatures did a great job of hiding what was underneath. But lately, something has changed. The most recent test… Continue reading 2027 Range Rover Velar.

The image above is the first official look we have of the all-new Ford‘s new EV Pickup. That “affordable” machine they have been talking about, to be priced under $30,000. As you can see, they are not showing much. Actually almost nothing at all. Apparently, Ford will share more info on the 17th, which is… Continue reading Ford’s new Compact EV pickup for 2027.

It seems every new Toyota EV is getting a Subaru clone these days. I guess that’s a cheap way for Subaru to build a whole lineup of new EVs without spending too much cash. It has already been the case with the Toyota bZ4X / Subaru Solterra, the Toyota C-HR EV / Subaru Uncharted (still… Continue reading 2027 Subaru Ascent.

According to Autocar, Volvo’s chief technology officer, Anders Bell, has been floating the idea of bringing wagons back into the lineup. That would, of course, be welcome news for wagon loyalists everywhere,and especially for Volvo diehards. Lower rooflines and sleeker profiles cut through the air more cleanly than tall, bluff crossovers. In the EV era,… Continue reading Could Volvo gring back a wagon for 2028?.

I am not talking about the last version of the Dodge Dart, that “new” one produced from 2012 to 2016. The one that “failed to meet sales expectations” and quietly disappeared from the market. No. I am talking about a true rebirth of the original Dodge Dart. One that could be visually inspired by the… Continue reading A new Dodge Dart for 2028 wouldn’t be such a bad idea…

The Xiaomi YU7 SUV was the best-selling car in China last month, according to CarNewsChina, absolutely crushing the Tesla Model Y by a huge margin. Xiaomi sold over 37,800 units of their new YU7 model last month alone. Meanwhile, Tesla only managed to push 16,845 units of the Model Y out the door. That puts… Continue reading Xiaomi crushes Tesla in China.

Toyota has just unveiled the all-new Highlander and it is a complete reset for the good old Toyota SUV. It is now a brand new 3 row EV. And Toyota is gutsy enough to just call it Highlander. And not Hoghlander EV or even BZ something. Which I think is a great move. However, it… Continue reading The 2027 Toyota Highlander looks familiar.

Its full name is VW Tiguan ePro, and it is only available in China so far. It is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and paired with a 22 kWh battery. This setup allows for an EV-only range of 73 miles on the Chinese test cycle. Even after adjusting for real-world conditions. That would likely… Continue reading 2027 VW Tiguan ePro PHEV.

According to Ford, the brand will soon offer 5 new models starting under $40,000 before 2030, which isn’t that cheap in the first place. As many new cars still start at under $40,000, including very popular ones. Like the Toyota RAV4 and Camry, and many, many others. That base price doesn’t seem like such an… Continue reading Ford’s all-new “car” for 2028.

While the illustration above is pretty terrible, it tries to show us what the upcoming Mercedes C-Class Electric compact EV sedan could look like. It closely resembles the teaser we saw a while back. And seems likely very close to the final production version we’ll see unveiled in a few months. After the frankly ghastly-looking… Continue reading 2028 Mercedes C-CLASS Electric.

While Mazda’s future plans are pretty unclear and seem to change every few months, there is still no new Mazda 6 sedan officially planned. Mazda has repeatedly signaled that it is focusing its limited resources on higher-margin vehicles, and that means “SUVs”. That reality alone makes a traditional midsize sedan a tough sell internally.  What… Continue reading New 2028 Mazda 6 sedan illustrations.
