A few months ago, we got a glimpse at the Volkswagen ID4 EV’s somewhat vanilla exterior. Well, it looks like the new electric car’s interior follows the same simple-is-better philosophy. In fact, we rather like the clean, uncluttered look, which reminds us of the Tesla Model 3’s pared-back cabin. Like the most modern cars, the

Electric pickup trucks that can spin in place doing tank turns or carry a telephone pole in a pass-thru frunk grab headlines, but they don’t necessarily pay the bills. A solid order for 100,000 Amazon Prime vans will keep Rivian’s lights on as its R1T and R1S civilian truck and SUV catch on in the

Much like the Willys trim level that’s already available on the Wrangler, the Gladiator’s Willys package will come in two levels: the Willys Sport and the Willys (the Willys Sport being the cheaper of the two). All Willys-trimmed Gladiators will get black 17-inch wheels with mud-terrain tires, rock rails from the Rubicon trim, a limited-slip

GM and EVgo have identified 40 metropolitan areas across the country in need of better fast-charging infrastructure. EVgo has previously announced it will power its chargers with renewable energy. See all 5 photos “We are moving quickly to bring new EVs to market that customers will love,” GM chief executive officer Mary Barra said in

Jeff Meier’s latest acquisition of the all-time great Lamborghini Miura-by way of a stunning garage find-is a heck of a story, filled with fortunate good luck. But his fascination with Lamborghini’s original supercar runs much deeper. Meier was born and raised in Cleveland, where he grew up in a large family. His father owned an

Tesla’s Autopilot, as well as other driver-assist tech from competing automakers, tends to divide the automotive-minded. Folks either view it as a feature that lulls drivers into a false sense of security or as the best thing since the dawn of the car. We, however, feel there’s a middle-ground that both acknowledges some drivers’ overreliance

Minivans aren’t exactly huge business in America anymore—of 3.5 million new vehicles sold in the first quarter of the year, just 81,000 or so were of the sliding-door variety—but nevertheless Kia has just dropped a few official images of its next-generation Carnival, which you know better as the Sedona. Kia calls the new Sedona minivan

When I was given the keys to the Genesis G70 3.3T for a recent Top Gear America filming stint, I was extremely excited. We don’t get Genesis the marque in the U.K. or Europe (though there are plans to launch in 2020), and I always think they look great zipping around California. I’m also a

Ray Dietrich had spent over 50 years coachbuilding, designing, and consulting on cars before trying his hand at an electric guitar. According to Coach Built, Dietrich got his start as an apprentice at Brewster & Co., a New York-based automaker that’s probably best known for building the Brewster Buffalo fighter plane for the U.S. Navy

Here’s a question we’ve never asked ourselves before: What would happen if Chevrolet and Animal Crossing collaborated on Corvette-themed downloadable content? It might sound like a farce, but this question is officially answered, as Chevrolet just announced a Corvette-themed pack for the popular sim game, and it’s actually pretty neat. Rev up your #AnimalCrossing world

More than a decade after Mazda pulled the plug on its Ford Ranger-based B-Series truck in the United States, the “Zoom-Zoom” brand is making us yearn for its return to the American pickup segment with the new BT-50. Marking the model’s second full redesign, per the company, the new BT-50 trades its predecessor’s Ford underpinnings

Good racing films don’t happen very often, and rarely do they receive as much critical acclaim as 2019’s Ford v Ferrari. Propelled by the real-life drama behind Ford’s historic 1-2-3 sweep at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, the movie brings the adrenaline and danger of racing in the 1960s to life, carefully weaving

The automotive world was treated to a rare look inside the politics of the American auto industry last fall when General Motors filed a racketeering lawsuit against Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) for allegedly bribing UAW officials in a bid to undercut it. But, with the automotive world being a complex place, that was not the only

Mark your calendars, Lexus fans, because the Japanese luxury brand officially plans to unveil its 2021 IS sports sedan on June 15. Lexus even sent out a pair of teasers that show the new car’s rear end. Acura recently pulled a similar move with its 2021 TLX sedan, one of the IS’s competitors.  As Lexus’s

Hopefully, after 18 years of saying it, everyone has accepted the Porsche Cayenne as a real Porsche. Purists will always be difficult to win over, but the Cayenne has shown itself to be as fun to drive as an SUV can be while still being practical and even off-road capable. Just to be sure you’ve

We all know that Tesla can update its cars “over the air,” meaning via a wireless internet data connection. Even though the tech is getting standardized across the industry, Tesla is one of the few companies that can do things like add driving range or power via a software update, unlocking electronically cordoned-off battery capacity

Do you love to travel the world with a full bathroom, a comfy bedroom, and a decent kitchen? Then look no further than this impressive expedition truck—the EarthCruiser. The formidable 4×4 is designed to take its occupants from the city streets to sand dunes or anywhere you want to go on the planet. The 2020

Can’t wait until the end of this year to get your hands on a refreshed 2021 Chrysler Pacifica with all-wheel drive? If you can live without the 2021 model’s aggressive face-lift and other upgrades, you can order a Pacifica with four driven wheels right now. Due to strong demand, FCA is offering its new all-wheel-drive

The current Toyota Corolla hasn’t been with us for very long. The aggressive-looking five-door hatchback model first made its debut in the middle of 2018, and has since been joined by a similarly wide-mouthed four-door sedan variant. Despite its relative youth and visual edge, Toyota has decided to make the new Corolla a little spicier

Jost Capito has accomplished an admirable list of successes in his 36-year career. The head of Volkswagen’s R performance brand spent his younger years racing motorcycles before attending the Technical University of Munich. With his competitive racing background and engineering degree, Capito’s talents afforded him opportunities to develop legendary road-going performance vehicles at companies such as

Note to self, provided that self owns a gleaming Ferrari and also has potentially disgruntled employees with access to 18-wheelers: Never piss off one of your truckers, especially if he or she has an axe to grind and several tons of machinery at their disposal. Take the experience of this trucking boss outside of Chicago

It’s been two long months since I’ve sat in the driver’s seat of our long-term 2020 Mazda3, and unfortunately it was stuck in a body shop for almost half that time. It all started when another editor went for a drive on Angeles Crest Highway. This beloved stretch of windy road is usually a fantastic

There’s something about Fiat. The Italian brand sells tiny, distinctive cars that resonate with its fans. The cars are puppy-cute, especially in the U.S. where the roads are filled with much larger vehicles. Owners love their two-door Fiat 500s, which came in many flavors including convertibles, pure electric, and the performance Abarth, and some gravitated

Saleen has tuned many Ford Mustangs in its day, but did you know it also turned up the heat on the Ford Explorer way before high-performance SUVs became a thing? Yep. Case in point is this big ol’ blast from the past—a 1998 Ford Explorer Saleen XP8 Supercharged that is making the rounds on Bring

Mercedes-Benz is no stranger to electricity, having experimented with various layouts for years. There were its all-electric vehicles prior to 1900 (from a predecessor company to Daimler), hybrid gas-electric buses in the 1960s, and the vehicle range you’re looking at here: the Mercedes-Benz 190 with an experimental electric drive. All came well before today’s modern

Most people probably would have forgotten all about the DeLorean if it hadn’t been converted into a time machine and co-starred in the 1985 sci-fi comedy Back to the Future. The 1980s had plenty of funky automobiles that Doc Brown and Marty McFly didn’t drive in the movie, however, and they actually were forgotten. So, here

Editor’s Note: 60 years ago today, a CIA-operated Lockheed U-2 spy plane flown by Captain Francis Gary Powers was shot down over the Sverdlovsk Oblast region of central Russia, then the U.S.S.R. Powers was attempting to fly all the way across the vast Soviet Union from Pakistan to Norway, photographing ICBM missile sites and space-vehicle

There’s only one episode left of Bitchin’ Boot Camp, and to celebrate, Dave Kindig and Kevin “KevDogg” Schiele are hosting a Watch Party! On Friday, May 1, at 3:00 p.m. (PT), join Dave and KevDogg as they relive all the action from episode 1. But wait, there’s more! They’ll be taking your questions and some

The Corvette dune buggy started life as a conventional, silver fixed-roof coupe but less than a year later, it has become something unrecognizable. After the current owner purchased the coupe in 2019, the fiberglass body was removed, the front and rear frame rails were shortened, and a tube-steel cage was fabricated. The engine cover, rear

Enthusiasm for the third-generation F-Body has waxed and waned over time. At launch, it was a remarkable performance vehicle with a newfound focus on handling; svelter, and faster than ever before. But as time went on, it became easier to get hung up on the embarrassing base trims and their pathetic Iron Duke engine, or
