SUVs/Trucks

Yes, they did. But this new Nissan Frontier PHEV is not the same vehicle as our North American Frontier pickup, and it’s not coming over here any time soon. This new Nissan truck is based on the Nissan Dongfeng Z9 shown in the bottom image. A Chinese pickup built for Nissan in China by its partner,… Continue reading Nissan Frontier adds a PHEV model to the Frontier pickup..

As you can see from the images above, the Nissan Pathfinder SUV is getting a few changes for the 2026 model year. I guess it has been a pretty popular model for Nissan with very decent numbers. Since they sold almost 75,000 of them in the US last year. Of course, even 75,000 is far… Continue reading 2026 Nissan Pathfinder changes.

The Kia Seltos is due for a complete redesign soon. This illustration shows what it could look like. The official date for the launch is December 10th. A new hybrid version will be available as well as regular gas. Production of the new model will have to wait until August next year. The new Kia… Continue reading 2027 Kia Seltos.

Mercedes just released some official photos of the all-new 2027 GLB Interior. I guess they’re not ready to show us the exterior yet for some reason. And of course, it is the exact same interior as the CLA sedan (2nd image) we just saw a few months ago. And very similar to the one in… Continue reading Discover the new 2027 Mercedes GLB Interior.

I’d say it’s both. Of course, the shape of the new Kia Telluride is pretty blunt. It looks like a big block of something with almost zero personality or shape. But it’s also quite ghastly, in my humble and totally unprofessional opinion. There is really no excuse for a front end looking ike this in… Continue reading New 2027 Kia Telluride. Blunt or ghaslty?

There have been rumors about a Chevrolet Corvette SUV since at least 2021. At that time, it was mentioned that a new, raised-up 4-door model with a Corvette name would be based on the Ultium platform. Like pretty much everything GM was planning back then. Until now. GM has slightly changed course lately. but mentioning… Continue reading Is GM still working on a Corvette SUV ?

The upcoming VW ID.EVO is yet another VW model specific to the Chinese market. It is part of a series of EVs specifically designed for that local market. And part of VW‘s strategy, “In China For China”. Where the new models are not only built in China, but also designed and engineered locally. The ID… Continue reading A new VW sedan we won’t get.

While the Honda Pilot and especially the Passport are fairly new, their V6 powertrain isn’t. It is still one of the smoothest engines around at any price, but gas mileage is a big issue. In my recent test drive of the new Honda Passport, I wasn’t able to get over 23MPG on the freeway. Which… Continue reading Hybrid tech coming for the big Hondas.

These new illustrations really show what would be a worst-case scenario for the Honda Odyssey minivan. This is basically a lazy mid-cycle refresh of the current van with a 2026 Honda Prelude front end and rear lights crafted to it. And this would be a terrible idea. However, maybe not such a bad one as… Continue reading 2027 Honda Odyssey illustrations.

It seems the current Cadillac lineup of electric SUVs is getting crowded with many similar designs. It looks like everything is a version of the Cadillac Lyriq that came out a few years ago. I was really hoping the new Cadillac Vistiq would look better than it does. Or at least have a bit more… Continue reading Cadillac Vistiq alternative.

I had to admit I had no idea the Mercedes GLA was still on sale in the US. But it is… Starting at $41,500 for the 2026 model. The current, 2nd generation, came out in 2019, and Mercedes figured the world deserves a new one. The GLA has never been a big seller in the… Continue reading 2027 Mercedes GLA.

The Cadillac Escalade, and its cousin from GMC and Chevrolet is still related to the big GM pickup trucks. These are scheduled to be redesigned for the 2027 model year. That could mean a new generation for the big SUVs about to year later, including a new Cadillac Escalade. GM has just announced the Cadillac… Continue reading Possible 2028 Cadillac Escalade.

This might be hard to believe, but the original Honda C-RV came out 30 years ago. It was introduced in Japan in October 1995. The current 6th generation is about 10 inches longer than the original and started production in September 2022. It is still going strong 3 years later. It also received a few… Continue reading Possible next generation Honda C-RV.

This is actually not a huge surprise, but the Infiniti QX50 and QX55 are dead. Production ending in November. The Mexican plant where both vehicles are built, as well as the Mercedes GLB, is now scheduled to close in May of next year. However, production of the 2 Infiniti models will end much sooner. The… Continue reading Bad news. 2 More Infinitis bite the dust.

Stellantis is mentioning yet another new model that is about 3 years away. This time, we are being told the RAM truck brand will be getting a new SUV in 2028. Again, anything can happen between now and 2028, especially with a group like Stellantis. A company that is currently not doing well at all.… Continue reading 2028 RAM SUV.
