MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. — Who among us hasn’t imagined what it would be like to drive a car from the future? And we’re not talking about a 2028 Honda Prelude or whatever, interesting as that may be. No, we’re talking decades, maybe…

It's been seven years since the BMW 7 Series was last redesigned, and for 2023, we have an all-new seventh generation on the way. If you believe in lucky numbers, this bodes well for BMW's flagship luxury sedan, but there's even…

Up until very recently, there was only one Ford Raptor — no Ranger, no Bronco, just the F-150, or as its engineering team likes to call it, “Big Raptor.” The OG. The king. In Big Raptor’s little corner of the Ford Performance world,…

SAN ANTONIO — The Kia Telluride, along with its mostly-same-beneath-the-skin counterpart, the Hyundai Palisade, quickly caught our attention when it launched as an all-new nameplate for the 2020 model year. This new three-row SUV was…

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Volkswagen has moved production of the local-market ID.4 out of Germany to the Chattanooga, Tennessee, plant. The decision comes with a smattering of changes making the compact battery-electric crossover more…

ENCINITAS, Calif. – The timing couldn’t possibly be better for an all-new, next-generation 2023 Kia Niro. The recipe is just the same as it was previously: a small crossover SUV offered with a choice of hybrid, plug-in hybrid or…

Audi has a bold plan to have an all-electric vehicle lineup by 2033 and its next step toward carbon neutrality is the Q4 E-Tron SUV. It’s smaller than the midsize E-Tron SUV that was introduced in 2019 by about a foot, nose-to-tail,…
