The image on top is a fantastic illustration from YMammouth showing what the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 7 EV could look like. When comparing it to the Hyundai Seven Concept from 2021, it is actually a bit more aggressive and more attractive. It also shows the black plastic cladding the production car will have around the… Continue reading 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 7.
Honda Accord PHEV.
Honda has been selling a PHEV version of the new Accord (as well as the CR-V) in China for a few months. The obvious question is: why not here??? As you can see, the interior is also slightly revised compared to what we get in North America. The electronic shifter from the previous generation is… Continue reading Honda Accord PHEV.
HWE Elecro Puzzle EV.
This new Japanese tiny van is somehow scheduled to be sold in the US starting in 2025. The Puzzle comes with solar panels and has an electric range of 125 miles. At 133 inches long it is quite tiny. That is about 20 inches shorter than a Mazda Miata or a Mini Cooper! This will… Continue reading HWE Elecro Puzzle EV.
New Fisker Pear & Alaska video!
I had the chance to go to the local “Fisker Store” (apparently there are only 2 in the US…) and was able to check out Fisker’s upcoming models in person, the Pear and the Alaska. It was difficult to get close to the Fisker Pear since it’s being kept behind a security line. But I… Continue reading New Fisker Pear & Alaska video!
2025 Nissan Juke.
Nissan has announced it is investing over $1.2 billion in its British factory to build 2 new EVs. One of them is expected to be an electric version of the next-generation Nissan Juke. Notice they mentioned the “EV version of the Juke” which means a gas or hybrid model might still be available. The other… Continue reading 2025 Nissan Juke.
Mazda CX-50 Hybrid.
Remember the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid? The one Mazda had said it would be coming “soon” when the CX-50 came out in late 2021. 2 years later, the Hybrid model is finally out, in China. We knew it was going to use Toyota Hybrid tech, which usually means Toyota electric motor and batteries. Like the upcoming… Continue reading Mazda CX-50 Hybrid.
2024 Toyota Camry video.
The 2024 Toyota Camry is like a bad Christmas present. A major disappointment after months of waiting for something special. The interior seems to be an improvement, but not the exterior of the car which is 90% the same as the old Camry we’ve seen everywhere since 2017. And there’s that obvious cost-cutting. Of course,… Continue reading 2024 Toyota Camry video.
2025 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ.
It’s no secret Toyota is coming up soon with a smaller off-road model that will compete against the Ford Bronco Sport. We have seen a glimpse of it at the 2024 Land Cruiser launch event a few weeks ago. The screen behind the Land Cruiser also showed what at the time was considered another mystery… Continue reading 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ.
Future Toyota Sports cars.
Since Toyota showed the new FT-se EV concept last month, illustrators have been hard at work trying to guess what a production version would look like. The illustration above looks pretty realistic, which is hard to do since the concept itself doesn’t look realistic to me at all. I really doubt Toyota is actually seriously… Continue reading Future Toyota Sports cars.
Kia EV truck?
That’s exactly what I thought at first. But not… These are illustrations of an upcoming Dong Feng Electric pickup truck for the Chinese market. Dong Feng Motor Corporation was created back in 1969 and is actually still a state-owned Chinese car manufacturer. It is a big player with 2.1 million vehicles manufactured in 2021. Besides… Continue reading Kia EV truck?
2025 Kia EV6.
It seems the Kia EV6 just came out but apparently, they’ve already decided it is time for a mid-cycle refresh for the EV6 as well as its platform cousin, the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The illustration on top is obviously based on the many spy shots we’ve seen of the car. While I love the current… Continue reading 2025 Kia EV6.
2025 Nissan Maxima.
Nissan has been talking about new EVs for years now. We have seen many concepts, for both the Nissan and Infiniti brands, but nothing concrete so far. The current Nissan Leaf came out in 2017 and the Aryia was delayed multiple times. Unlike upcoming Toyota EV models with their next-generation platforms and batteries, the next-generation… Continue reading 2025 Nissan Maxima.
2024 Hyundai Santa Fe video.
Please join me and discover the all-new Hyundai Santa Fe for 2024. It will be available as an old-fashioned gas model with a 2.5 Liter Turbo engine and an 8 speed automatic, good for 277HP. This version will go on sale next March while a Hybrid model using a 1.6 Liter engine and a 6… Continue reading 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe video.
Mercedes CLA SUV.
This is of course just an illustration. Showing what an SUV version of the upcoming Mercedes CLA EV could look like. I think a design like this would be a disaster. Besides the front end, it looks too much like the current Mercedes EQE SUV. And the current EQ line isn’t selling. Mercedes is having… Continue reading Mercedes CLA SUV.
Future Zeekr SUV.
Zeekr seems to be on a roll after the launch of the Zeekr X and the all-new Zeekr 007 sedan. While the 007 will be going after the Tesla Model 3, Zeekr is also working on a new SUV to compete with the Tesla Model Y. This seems pretty obvious since competing with the Model… Continue reading Future Zeekr SUV.
2024 Porsche Panamera.
The 2024 model year will celebrate the second “mid-cycle” facelift for the current generation of the Porsche Panamera. The current model came out in 2016 (bottom) and was a vast visual improvement over its odd-looking predecessor. It just looked like what a 4 door Porsche should have from the beginning. The second generation received a… Continue reading 2024 Porsche Panamera.
New Ford EV!
Ford is getting ready to launch a second EV for the European market. After the Explorer EV last year (2nd pic) we will soon see a “coupe” version of that model based on the same platform, and probably the same great interior. (illustration above) The Explorer EV is the result of a partnership with VW… Continue reading New Ford EV!
2025 Toyota 4-Runner.
Toyota will have quite a busy year in 2024. The “new” 2025 Camry will arrive at dealerships next spring. A new generation RAV-4 is also due to be revealed at around the same time. There is also talk about a compact more rugged new SUV model, inspired by the new 2024 Land Cruiser. (Also arriving… Continue reading 2025 Toyota 4-Runner.
Xpeng X9 minivan.
Another day, another luxury minivan from China. Or so it seems. We have seen the new “Mega” from Li Auto a few weeks ago, the Buick GL8 Century, Lexus LM, and of course the all-new Volvo EM90. Itself related to the Zeekr 009. Except for the Buick and the Lexus, these are all electric. This… Continue reading Xpeng X9 minivan.
Mini Countryman US info.
The first gas version of the new Mini family in the US will be the Countryman S All4. It is powered by a 2.0 Liter Turbo with 241HP and AWD. This is obviously not the new Countryman EV Mini showed us recently, but a new generation of the regular ICE model. Although they both look… Continue reading Mini Countryman US info.
