Aston Martin just made a $232 million deal with Lucid to provide them with electric motors and batteries. In exchange, Lucid now gets a 3.7% stake in Aston Martin. I think this is great news and a good pairing for both brands. Aston Martin’s first EV is planned for 2025, with an electric version of… Continue reading Aston Martin EV via Lucid
2024 Buick Regal
While the Buick Regal is no longer sold in the US, it has been around in China and selling pretty well. But GM has chosen not to redesign it for 2024 as they did with the Buick Lacrosse or Cadillac CT6. Instead, the Regal is getting a new front end with the “big mouth” now… Continue reading 2024 Buick Regal
VW e.Beetle
An electric Beetle is something we will not be seeing anytime soon. Even after trademarking the name “e-Beetle” back in 2020, VW’s new boss recently mentioned that a Beetle EV is not being considered. His predecessor Herbert Diess mentioned just last year that new “emotional” models based on the MEB EV platform were a possibility.… Continue reading VW e.Beetle
2024 Toyota C-HR
These are just a few more photos of the redesigned Toyota C-HR for 2024. As mentioned earlier, this looks strikingly close to last year’s concept, which is good. There s a little bit of a 2023 Prius vibe inside, again a good thing. (The shifter looks exactly the same as in the new Prius). But… Continue reading 2024 Toyota C-HR
2025 Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade
The Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade both received slight mid-cycle revisions for the 2023 model year and will be totally redesigned for 2025. With production rumored to start in January 2025. The next generation is now rumored to move to a new platform and will use different engines as well. A V6 will still be… Continue reading 2025 Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade
2024 Toyota C-HR
Even though these new photos of the second-generation Toyota C-HR are pretty blurry, you can already tell how close the final design is to last year’s C-HR Prologue Concept. The main change I can see is the design of the rear lights. But the production still looks very modern while retaining the C-HR personality. I… Continue reading 2024 Toyota C-HR
VW ID.1
While introducing the ID 2All Concept a few months ago, VW also mentioned a smaller and even cheaper model coming up. The press has generally called the new sup-compact the “ID.1” although no official name was ever mentioned, at least not yet. The ID.2 All concept might become the ID.Golf once it reaches production, which… Continue reading VW ID.1
Ram Rampage video
This new video shows the Laramie version of the all-new 2024 Ram Rampage inside and out. At least on the video, it does look pretty upscale for a small truck. It also appears much larger than it is (It is actually about 2 inches shorter than the Ford Maverick). Again, no official words on North… Continue reading Ram Rampage video
2024 Buick Enclave
The next generation Buick Enclave is coming in a few months. And it will use the same structure and powertrains as the current model. Just like its cousin, the Chevrolet Traverse, it is getting a brand-new body and interior. The new GMC Acadia will also grow back in size and will again be using that… Continue reading 2024 Buick Enclave
Toyota Century SUV
While introducing the new Toyota Alphard Minivan, Toyota showed a quick teaser photo of the upcoming Century SUV. Which will be their most expensive SUV, just like the Century sedan is their most expensive sedan. The sedan is powered by a Hybrid with a 5.0 Liter V8 and an electric motor. It is based on… Continue reading Toyota Century SUV
2025 Hyundai Palisade ?
(UPDATE. This appears to be the next-generation Infiniti GX80 and NOT the next Palisade. Thanks to the readers who noticed the mistake) to be From the spy shot above, it looks like the next-generation Hyundai Palisade will adopt a more squared-off design. Maybe something a bit similar to the new 2024 Santa Fe. The general… Continue reading 2025 Hyundai Palisade ?
2024 Toyota Alphard
The Toyota Alphard has always been ugly. But this all-new generation is pushing the envelope of how hideous a car design can be. This is basically indescribable. Just when you think Toyota cannot do worse, they do. But again, the Alphard has always looked grotesque. Inside, it’s also quite a mess. Which is expected after… Continue reading 2024 Toyota Alphard
2024 Ram Rampage Laramie
We’ve already seen the new Ram Rampage, and these are more photos of the Laramie version. Which seems pretty luxurious for what it is, at least in these photos. The exterior is very generic, except for the huge Ram face. Which is what Ram fans will want. Inside, it looks a lot like the Jeep… Continue reading 2024 Ram Rampage Laramie
2024 Range Rover Evoque
While the exterior changes are really minimal, the interior redesign of the 2024 Range Rover Evoque is pretty amazing. Just when you thought it was already very nice, Range Rover found a way to even improve it. Just like their other recent interiors, it seems to achieve a quiet Zen quality rarely seen in other… Continue reading 2024 Range Rover Evoque
Buick Electra E4 price
I’ve already posted a few times about the new 2024 Buick Electra EV4 for the Chinese market. The Electra EV4 is so far the cheapest of all new Ultium-based models with a starting price of just $26 441 at the current exchange rate. This standard model comes with a single motor with a battery rated… Continue reading Buick Electra E4 price
Ram Rampage
These are all 3 versions of the new Ram Rampage compact pickup truck. From the top we have the Laramie, then the R/T, and the Rebel. At least in South America, it will be available as a 2.0 Liter Diesel and a regular 2.0 Liter with 272 HP. Which is probably the same engine offered… Continue reading Ram Rampage
Cadillac Escalade IQ
GM has released a new video teaser for the upcoming Cadillac Escalade IQ. The new Cadillac EV was announced a while ago and this is the first time we get to actually see anything. Even if it’s not that much at all… The Escalade IQ is actually not related to the “regular” Escalade since it… Continue reading Cadillac Escalade IQ
2024 Mercedes E-Class Estate
The wagon version of the all-new 2023 Mercedes E-Class is out, and looking good. Sure, it inherits the sedan’s front end with too much black plastic, but this is still much, much cleaner than the new 2024 BMW 5 series mess. And the overall wagon shape does look great. The interior is of course the… Continue reading 2024 Mercedes E-Class Estate
2026 Mustang Mach-E & Mach-E coupe
The internal document above was revealed a while ago and shows the end of production of the current Ford Mustang Mach-E scheduled for June 2026. That means the current model will be with us for another 3 years, with a possible mid-cycle facelift coming next year. As you can see, a new model called “Mach-E… Continue reading 2026 Mustang Mach-E & Mach-E coupe
2024 Renault Rafale
The new 2024 Renault Rafale is basically a shorter “coupe” version of the recently introduced new generation Renault Espace (Which, of course, morphed from a cool Minivan into yet another SUV). Although at least Renault made some effort and gave both cars different designs, they share most of their interiors. I think the Rafale design… Continue reading 2024 Renault Rafale
