Spy Shots

  The Kia Sorento is getting a mid-cycle refresh in just a few months, for the 2024 model year. The illustrations above show a mostly new front end. And a slightly revised rear view. guess the new front end looks more like a Telluride, which is what they should have done in the first place. … Continue reading 2024 Kia Sorento: new illustrations…

Strange to see a Kia EV9 prototype still covered in so much camouflage, when Kia showed us much more just a little while ago. By publishing photos of a prototype with very little camouflage showing almost the whole thing… Inside, it will, of course, be very different from the crazy concept we saw last year.… Continue reading 2024 Kia EV9: a look inside…

 The 2nd generation Hyundai Kona has been testing for a while. We’ve seen a multitude of spy shots and illustrations. Today, we get our best look at the interior so far. We see one giant screen. It also seems slightly curved and very imilar to what we can find on the new Genesis GV60. The… Continue reading 2024 Hyundai Kona: a look inside…

Not sure if these are official or not (or if they’re even from Hyundai) And the Nexo s not been a runaway hit. Although it wasn’t really meant to be. Only 430 of them were sold last year. (Actually, a big jump from 2020 with only 208 sold) And it’s only available in California. Where… Continue reading Next-generation Hyundai Nexo: new illustrations…

 This new illustration is obviously based on the recent spy shots we have seen of the new 7-seater Mazda SUV. But which is it? Mazda is planning 2 different 3-row new models for 2023. The CX-80 for Europe and CX-90 for the US. Just like the new European CX-60 isn’t coming here. Instead, we’re still… Continue reading 2023/24 Mazda CX-80/90: new illustration…

  This seems to be the same prototype as the car we saw a few days ago. Which again, resembles the various recent illustrations we’ve seen. Showing a much sleeker and more modern design. Smooth and good-looking would be quite an improvement over the current generation. And again, unless this is a standard PHEV with… Continue reading 2024 Toyota Prius: new spy shots…

As far as I know, this is the very first time we get to see the next-generation Toyota Prius. And it looks a lot like the illustrations I posted a few weeks ago. Which means a much sleeker silhouette. The next Prius could finally have a more mature and attractive design.  With all the news… Continue reading 2024 Toyota Prius: first spy shot…

I previously posted photos of this car, looking a lot like a Land Rover defender. Many comments suggested it wasn’t Santa Fe. But maybe the Ioniq 7. Since we saw the Ioniq 7 concept last year, we already have an idea of what it will look like. Which is not like this at all. The… Continue reading Next-generation Hyundai Santa-Fe: new parking lot video…

  We already know the Hyundai Sonata is getting a refresh in a few months.  This is a new super realistic illustration of what it could look like. Which would be fine. It doesn’t seem to ruin the rest fo the car and does look quite modern. Unfortunately, the current generation is the end of… Continue reading 2023/25 Hyundai Sonata: new illustration…

These are the first photos I’ve ever seen of the all-new Ford Mustang for 2024. And we get to see the convertible too!  I’m actually quite disappointed. I don’t see how this can be called an all-new generation. Sure the body panels are new. But in the same way, the 2010 model was “new”.  It… Continue reading 2024 Ford Mustang: compared to the current generation…

 It seems no one knows what this tiny Lexus crossover will be called. I hear LBX. Or even the new UX. And others. Who knows. But one thing we know, is that it will look pretty dorky for a luxury brand offering. All the illustrations we’ve seen so far come from the photo Toyota published… Continue reading 2024 Lexus “Small SUV”: another illustration…

These seem to show the real thing. A next-generation Toyota C-HR. I guess even though it has been a bit of a flop in the US, it was successful enough overseas to warrant a redesign. Something that looks as goofy and busy as ever. And looking quite different from the previous illustration I posted a… Continue reading 2024 Toyota C-HR: parent images…

It looks like the CX-90 will be the first Mazda in the US to use the all-new RWD platform. While the smaller CX-60 was the first one overseas. A shorter CX-70 will be coming over here as well. And a CX-80 overseas. It seems the US models will also be wider than the CX-60 and… Continue reading 2023/24 Mazda CX-90: next to the CX-60 and CX-9…

 The C-HR hasn’t been the success Toyota had hoped for in the US. It basically was intended to compete with the weirdo Nissan Juke. But never really did. It was just too late and underpowered. It also was never offered as a Hybrid. While it was around the world. I haven’t heard anything about a… Continue reading 2024 Toyota C-HR: new illustration…

This is just a better version of the illustration I posted a few days ago. The popular Crosstrek is being totally redesigned for the new year. And we will be seeing the whole thing this coming week, on the 15th. This means it could be at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show in November. Which… Continue reading 2024 Subaru Crosstrek: better illustration…
