For the past few years, autonomous electric concepts have been all the rage on the international auto show circuit. These forward-looking vehicles tend to have boxy or egg-shaped designs in order to maximize interior volume. But every once in a while, an automaker introduces an autonomous concept that prioritizes style over practicality. The Peugeot E-Legend

The current-generation Mazda CX-5 is destined for some big updates after debuting for the 2017 model year. The compact crossover will add a turbo engine and new technologies for 2019, if we are to believe this leaked document. The information was posted to Reddit this week, and as we can see from the bottom of

Entry-level sedans were the first to prove that luxury can come in small sizes with relatively small price tags. But now that customer preferences have changed, automakers are starting to introduce more and more small crossovers. Cadillac just rolled out the XT4, joining another new entry, the Volvo XC40. These models compete against more established

There’s good news and bad news from Porsche today. First the good news—if you can’t afford to buy a new Porsche, now you can rent a Macan, 718 Cayman, or a Boxster for about $300 ($269, plus tax and fees) a day. Better yet, you can rent a 911 for about $3,000 ($2,909, plus tax

Later this week, Kia plans to introduce the newest addition to its lineup: the Proceed. The Korean automaker says the Proceed “merges stunning design with the space and versatility of a tourer in a five-door shooting brake body.” Based on these spy shots, we’ll just call it good looking. If the Proceed looks familiar, that’s

Unfortunately for automakers such as Ford, building a car in the U.S. is easier said than done. It took only a few hours for a Ford spokesperson to nix the idea in a response to an article by The Washington Times, a right-wing publication not to be confused with The Washington Post. Trump cheers nixed

Last year, Kia brought the 2018 Stinger out to New York Fashion Week—an appropriate choice considering that car’s striking design. For this year’s big show, Kia is once again using the runway at New York Fashion Week to show off its latest vehicle—but this time it’s going one step further with a global debut. The

Tesla has been busy meeting production targets for the Model 3 and dealing with fallout from CEO Elon Musk’s tweets, so we haven’t heard much recently about the next-gen Roadster that’s due in 2020. That is, until today. At the inaugural Grand Basel car show in Switzerland, Tesla brought out a white Roadster to celebrate

View 56 Photos The base FE model comes standard with an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Along with dual-zone climate control, other standard features include forward collision avoidance assist, lane keep assist, driver attention warning, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning. The midlevel LXS and S are expected to be the

Harley-Davidson and Tuscany Motor Company rolled out a Harley-Davidson Concept Custom 2019 Ford F-150 for the motorcycle marque’s 115th Anniversary Celebration this weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Harley styling crew and Ford-authorized specialty vehicle manufacturer Tuscany Motor Company co-designed the new concept pickup, which takes its styling cues from Harley’s most popular and iconic ride—the

We get it. The shape of the 911 is an icon on par with that of the Coke bottle and Betty Boop. But really? Is there no end to the amount people are prepared to pay to really make one of these shapes their own? There are over a million potential used factory 911s to

Take a look at BMW’s Z series, which stretches all the way back to 1989 with the Z1, and you’ll see a few common design themes across the entire lineup. But you’ll see a more obvious design lineage when you look at just the Z3 and last two Z4s. The 2019 BMW Z4 diverges slightly

Copy/pasting the Volkswagen Beetle/Bus game plan, GM expanded its better-known Corvair coupe/sedan into a range of vehicles by adding the Greenbrier passenger van in ’61 and the 95 Loadside/Rampside pickup and Corvan panel van in ’63. The Loadside was your standard-issue pickup with a tailgate (with the exception of a two-tier bed necessitated by the

An experimental Ford Shelby GT500 Prototype nicknamed “Little Red” was discovered in a North Texas field this past spring after spending at least two decades outdoors. The owner obviously didn’t know he had a 1967 Shelby GT500 Experimental Coupe rusting away next to a bunch of mesquite trees on his property. What’s left of the

Midcycle refreshes on Porsche vehicles usually require a magnifying glass to see what’s changed, but in the case of the 2019 Macan, the updates are pretty clear. For the 2019 model year, Porsche’s compact crossover has gone under the knife and received a significant update inside and out. Up front, the grille has been reshaped

We reported earlier this month that there’s a good chance we’ll see an AMR version of the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. Now, CEO Andy Palmer has outright confirmed that Aston Martin will make this more potent model, as well as a drop-top Volante. Speaking with Autocar, Palmer said the two new variants are a sure

Bronco. The name gets people excited. And while we await the return of the body-on-frame SUV in 2020, we have learned a few details about another vehicle in the works, the one that has been dubbed the baby Bronco. The unnamed small off-roader that Ford will add to the lineup by 2020 may have some

Tesla CEO Elon Musk confused the Internet more than usual last week when he announced he was considering taking the company private. He also tweeted that funding had been secured, without going into further detail. Today, Musk is clarifying his proposal, saying that the company has been in talks with the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth

Grand tourers are what Aston Martin does best, and as we found out in our First Drive, no Aston Martin model does grand touring better than the new DBS Superleggera. Senior features editor Jonny Lieberman argues that car is the most beautiful Aston ever, and he may be right. But we’ll let you be the

The Porsche Cayman GT4 is a fantastic car. It borrows its tires, brakes, and front suspension from the 911 GT3, uses a 385-hp 911 engine, grips the track like you wouldn’t believe, and features one of the best manual transmissions Porsche has ever offered—all while remaining street-legal and surprisingly comfortable on public roads. The only

A Ford Ranger for the U.S. market is just around the corner, but the Blue Oval is already working on the next-gen midsize pickup coming in the mid-2020s. Now, in a strange twist of formerly forbidden fruit colliding with current forbidden fruit, a new report suggests that the truck could be co-developed with the second-generation

I first met Marchionne in December 2012 when I had the honor of presenting the Ram truck team Motor Trend’s 2013 Truck of the Year award. For the occasion, Marchionne called an all-hands meeting at FCA’s headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan. I found out later this was only the second all-employee meeting since his arrival

For the Geneva motor show last March, Hyundai showed off an eye-catching four-door coupe concept called the Le Fil Rouge. Hyundai said the concept previewed a new design language that will be used in future products. At the time, though, it wasn’t clear how watered down the styling would get by the time production designs were finalized.

Having just driven the 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, we can confidently say we’re big fans. Not only is it jaw-droppingly gorgeous, it has the right handling and performance to make it one of the most desirable grand tourers on the market. But even though our only real complaint is the unobtainable price, it sounds

Buick’s upscale Avenir trim has helped the brand win both prestige and sales, so it should come as no surprise that the badge is rolling out to more models in the lineup. The latest to receive the Avenir treatment is the 2019 Buick Regal Sportback, rolling out to dealerships this fall. Like the two U.S.

Last month, Porsche announced the production version of the Mission E concept would be called the Taycan. Confusingly pronounced “TIE-con,” the German automaker’s first fully electric vehicle will go on sale next year. Today, Porsche released more information on the Taycan’s production specs. Impressively, they aren’t all that different than the ones Porsche originally quoted

We can’t think of many cars that are as aptly named as the Ferrari 812 Superfast. It’s among the top five quickest rear-wheel-drive cars we’ve ever tested here at Motor Trend, and it’s the quickest front-engine, rear-drive car hands down. This impressive performance is the work of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 that makes 780

Mercedes-Benz has brought a piece of formerly forbidden fruit to the U.S.: the A-Class sedan. Its design is purposeful. Not only does it properly convey the Mercedes aesthetic, but according to the automaker, it also has the lowest drag of any production car. When it goes on sale later this year, it will compete with

Hyundai has been hyping the i30 Fastback N for quite some time, and now the model is in its final stages of development. It will join the i30 N and Veloster N when it debuts later this year. The automaker has taken the fastback through extensive testing on different types of road surfaces around Europe.

The 2019 Lexus ES undergoes a dramatic transformation as it enters a new lifecycle. A new platform, more robust powertrains, and an F Sport variant hint at a more athletic sedan. For all these changes and more, the starting price has increased $550 to $40,525. However, prices for the hybrid version have dropped. F Sport
