It seems we have seen spy photos of the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 7 for so long… However, the Hyundai Seven Concept came out in late 2021. As you can see, the production version will of course be a bit different from the concept, although it could still look quite striking in real life. Its closely… Continue reading Hyundai Ioniq 7.

We just saw early photos of the redesigned Cadillac XT5 SUV and we now see new pictures of different versions available, at least in China. The usual, with different wheels, chrome or black trim, etc… GM is still not saying if the new XT5 will be sold in the US or not after the demise… Continue reading 2025 Cadillac XT5.

This is a quick video I shot while I was driving the new Buick Envista for a week. A very nice and attractive compact crossover. And better yet, at a great price. This is basically even a bit cheaper than a Honda Civic hatchback and I really think a better choice for most people. I… Continue reading Buick Envista video.

There is an all-new generation Cadillac XT5 coming very soon. At least in China. And after 8 years, I was expecting more. This just looks like a very tame (which is only one latter way from “lame”) redesign. Maybe I was spoiled by the illustration (bottom) I posted here a few weeks ago. The current… Continue reading 2025 Cadillac XT5

The all-new VW Tiguan was revealed a few months ago as a 2024 model for the European market. Unlike the previous generation, the European Tiguan will come in one size only. So far, North America only got the longer wheelbase version and China got that same model under another name. For the new generation, the… Continue reading 2025 VW Tiguan LWB.

Honda is getting ready to launch two brand-new EV models in China. Or, as you can see, more like 2 versions of the same model. We saw prototype versions of both the eNS2 and eNP2 and the Shanghai Auto Show a few months ago (black cars), and these production models look exactly the same. Both… Continue reading Honda e:NS2 & e:NP2.

After many delays, Porsche is almost ready to show us the all-new Macan EV. The new model is based on the new PPE platform and is just 2 inches longer than the current Macan, although its wheelbase is 4 inches longer. 2 versions of the car will be available at launch with up to 600… Continue reading Porsche Macan EV.

The new Buick Envista is a very nice-looking small crossover. It’s actually almost the exact same length as a Honda Civic but has a more imposing stature. It also looks about 20 years more modern than the Civic. At first, I wasn’t a big fan of the “Copper Ice metallic” color ( a $495 option),… Continue reading Buick Envista Test Drive.

The Chinese company B.Y.D has just become the world’s largest producer of EVs in 2023. With over 3 million cars produced, including 1.4 million PHEVs. And that is without selling cars in North America. However, they do have US headquarters in Los Angeles and have been building electric buses for the US market in Lancaster… Continue reading B.Y.D U7 & Pickup truck.

I have compiled a few illustrations showing different design possibilities for the new 2025 Toyota RAV-4. A few days ago, I posted the illustration above showing what a facelift similar to what the 2025 Camry received would look like on the RAV-4. With the same model as the current generation receiving a redesigned front and… Continue reading 2025 Toyota RAV-4.

Toyota will unveil a new generation RAV-4 in a few months as a 2025 model. There have been a few illustrations already, although no prototypes of the new SUV have been caught yet. The illustrations above show what could be a worst-case scenario. Basically showing a mid-cycle facelift with a redesigned interior instead of a… Continue reading 2025 Toyota RAV-4.

Today we have another illustration of what Zeeker’s upcoming SUV could look like. It seems very realistic to me and matches the spy shot we saw just a few days ago, looking a lot like what you’d expect an SUV version of the new Zeekr 007 sedan would look like. Geely is using the new… Continue reading New Zeekr SUV=Volvo EX60?

It looks like the VW ID.4 is getting a few changes for the Chinese market. Which could mean something new in North America for the 2025 model year. Or not. This could just be another version called “X”. Or a different model made by one of VW’s local partners. Let’s hope these changes don’t come… Continue reading 2025 VW ID.4 ?

I will be driving a new Buick Envista for the coming week. It is the “sportier” ST model that starts at $24 100. With a bunch of options, including a sunroof, larger black 19-inch wheels, and much more, for a total of $29 000. Which is still very reasonable. So far, I haven’t driven it… Continue reading Buick Envista test drive.

Mazda just announced the launch of the new CX-70 in the US. The event will take place on January 30th. We already know the new CX-70 will use the exact same powertrains as the current CX-90. That means the new 3.0 Liter Turbo inline 6 cylinder and a 2.5 Liter PHEV. While the Turbo 6… Continue reading 2025 Mazda CX-70.
