2023 Hyundai Santa Fe: new spy shots…
It looks like a next-generation Hyundai Santa Fe is just around the corner. Showing plenty of Land Rover Defender vibes in these new spy shots. This is a total departure from the current generation design. And also, any current Hyundai product. Interestingly enough, the prototype above shows some sort of aero-wheel design. (Unlike the one… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe: new spy shots…

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…

2023/24 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 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…

2023/24 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…

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…

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…

2023/24 Hyundai Santa Fe: early spy shots…
It looks like the next-generation Hyundai Santa Fe will adopt a completely different design language. From the first pic, it also looks like there will be no grille. Unless this is an EV version of the Santa Fe. (Which would be a first) I’m sure the current model is a fine SUV. But it looks… Continue reading 2023/24 Hyundai Santa Fe: early spy shots…

2023/24 Toyota CH-R: new illustration…
This new illustration shows what a next-generation Toyota CH-R could look like. With just around 35 000 sold in the US last year, I think a next-generation is highly unlikely. At least in the US. We also haven’t seen any prototypes. The closest thing to a new CH-R is this “Small SU EV” we saw… Continue reading 2023/24 Toyota CH-R: new illustration…

Volvo EXC-90: a look inside…
It seems the current Volvo XC-90 will be getting a major “facelift” and will still be sold along the all-new Embla for at least a few years. While the Embla could be a pure EV, sharing its platform with the more expensive Polestar 3, the revised XC-90 might be available as a PHEV or EV.… Continue reading Volvo EXC-90: a look inside…

2024 Honda Pilot: new illustrations…
These new illustrations show what the next-generation Honda Pilot could look like. While the prototypes driving around are still covered in plenty of camouflage, these renderings look pretty realistic. Showing yet another super boring Honda design. Looking like a big 2023 HR-V. We already know the next Pilot will be based on the same… Continue reading 2024 Honda Pilot: new illustrations…

2023/24 Volvo Embla: Vs-XC90 and Recharge Concept…
I don’t think it’s official yet, but everyone seems to think the next-generation Volvo XC-90 will be called Embla. (weird…) Whatever they end up calling it, I really hope tot looks more modern than the new patent illustrations posted here. As they just look like a slight update on the current design. Which is now… Continue reading 2023/24 Volvo Embla: Vs-XC90 and Recharge Concept…

2023 KIA EV9: new spy shot…
For once, I really wish the production version ends up looking more conservative than the Concept. The Kia EV9 looked really cheap in person. Like a big toy instead of a real car. the production model caught in the pic above seems a bit more grown up. Although so much of it is covered up,… Continue reading 2023 KIA EV9: new spy shot…

2023/24 Mercedes E-Class sedan: new patent designs…
These new photos show us the usual “new” Mercedes E-Class recipe: a lot of the current design, mixed with the new S-class and C-class. It’s been going on for years, and now, it’s a little bit sad. the current E-Class is a great sedan. It looks good, has a great interior, and is really comfortable.… Continue reading 2023/24 Mercedes E-Class sedan: new patent designs…

2023 Buick Sedan: new spy shot…
Pretty interesting. Buick sedans are still popular in China. This new prototype shows some next-generation Buick. And it’s a sedan. Already looking really modern, even with all that camouflage. This is, obviously, not coming to the US. Whatever it is. The big SUV next to it is also interesting. Since it could very well be… Continue reading 2023 Buick Sedan: new spy shot…
