You don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a car with a nice interior, the latest technologies, and solid performance. We already wrote about the cheapest new SUVs you can buy, and now we’re taking a look at the lowest-priced sedans on the market. Keep reading to learn about the cheapest new

Supra enthusiasts waited decades to see the iconic sports car make its return, and when the Toyota Supra finally returned to North American shores for the 2020 model year, it had the requisite inline-six under the hood. That fact, of course, was made possible with the partnership with BMW that also produced the 2020 Z4. But

With the NASCAR Cup Series opening its 2020 season this weekend on Feb. 16 with the Daytona 500, now is the perfect time to get an easy-to-digest rundown of everything you need to know about America’s most popular form of racing, especially if you are new to the sport. NASCAR, which stands for “National Association

NASCAR and Toyota fans, start your engines. Or, at least look forward to starting the 2021 Toyota Supra‘s engines. The sports car introduces a new-for-the-U.S. four-cylinder engine, as well as a more exciting power upgrade for the carryover turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six. Both changes were announced in the shadow of the Daytona 500, and make clear

They start work on the tracks as winter comes and the ground starts to freeze, layering ice through twists and turns and humps and hollows. The surface glistens now in the watery Arctic sunlight, a hard refrigerator whiteness under a sugary dusting of fresh snow. The naturally aspirated flat-six engine at my backside idles hungrily

The electrified pickup-truck space technically doesn’t even exist yet, and already it’s passed up niche status for full-on, high-stakes warzone billing. Companies like Tesla, Rivian, Bollinger, and Hummer have all promised to bring out new trucks imminently—although none are for sale yet—and now they’re joined by a new would-be, not-yet-real competitor, the Nikola Badger.  Unlike the other

Does America need another automotive brand? Duke Hale seems to think so, and his company, HAAH Automotive Holdings, will soon sell vehicles under the Vantas brand in the United States and Canada. We suppose that name is better than the parent company’s “HAAHAH” acronym. This entirely serious endeavor will kick off with a crossover derived from

While this year will see the launch of more all-electric powered commuter cars than ever before, that doesn’t mean exotic cars designed to draw eyes and drop jaws are going away anytime soon. In fact, it seems like there are now more than ever before. Not to mention that just a short few years ago

San Francisco-based artist Jay Nelson answered a question seemingly no one was asking by adding a pop-top camper to the bed of a 1982 Subaru Brat. The small camper integrates gracefully with the compact pickups flowing bedsides and includes sleeping space for three, as well as a built-in wood-burning stove for cooking or staying warm.

Minivan sales continue to crater in the U.S., with the once-popular segment’s 2019 numbers dropping by 15 percent year over year. But plucky Chrysler, which has sold over 15 million of the things since 1984, including just over 50 percent of the minivans sold last year, is doubling down on the segment with a surprisingly

Kia just teased its new Sorento midsize SUV prior to its full unveil on March 3 at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show. (The Sorento is a global product, hence the European premiere.) The teaser images (and others floating around) signal it’s going to make liberal use of the Telluride’s winning aesthetic recipe if not in direct

Audi is sweetening the deal for buyers of its fully electric E-tron SUV: Starting today, customers will receive a free 10-year subscription to solar power, which can add up to big savings on their home electricity bills. The automaker is offering this program in partnership with Arcadia, which connects people to solar farms in their

Indeed, Corvettes have been busy sports cars even while the GM worker strike held up their transition to normal production. The first production example is all black, and looks the business. It has already been purchased at a charity auction for $3 million and will no doubt make its new owner very happy when it’s

For all the talk we’ve heard of using EVs to share power back to the power grid, earning car owners money from utility companies (!), or as de-facto extra batteries for storing excess solar-generated home energy, there exists no affordable option for making this possible. Until now, bi-directional chargers, which can take energy from a

Toyota has released pricing details on its family-friendly staple, the Highlander midsize crossover. The redesigned 2020 Toyota Highlander is priced from $35,720, making it more expensive than key competitors when you compare base configurations. That price also represents an increase of $2,770 over the base 2019 Toyota Highlander, which came with a 2.7-liter I-4 that’s

Pros: Powerful turbo-four engine Great value Towing performance Cons: Old architecture Poor interior space Aging design The Ford Ranger came back to the U.S. market after an eight-year hiatus, during which it spent time overseas instead of filling the midsize truck gap in the automaker’s North American lineup. Rising popularity of the Toyota Tacoma and

With so many small luxury SUVs on the market, it can be hard to find the one that checks off all the boxes. On this list, you’ll find some of our favorite entries in this competitive segment. Each one of these vehicles offers both style and substance, making them some of best small luxury SUVs

Lincoln is currently riding high off a strong one-two SUV punch, having successfully launched the redesigned full-size Navigator last year and seeing critical approval of the resurrected mid-size Aviator model. Now the American luxury brand has turned its attention to the compact SUV formerly known as the MKC. All-new for 2020, that crossover now goes

Mercedes just gave itself one heck of a housewarming gift. The Vision Mercedes Simplex is a modern take on the classic Mercedes 35 PS (or 35 HP) as well as an excuse to let designers stretch their muscles and have some fun. We got up close to the Simplex concept at Mercedes’ new design center

There’s no arguing SUVs are hot right now. They may have ample cargo space, but they usually can’t match lower-riding vehicles when it comes handling. Fortunately, there are many sedans on the market that are both practical and ideal canyon carvers. Keep reading for 11 sporty sedans that we enjoy driving. All of the sporty

Is there anything better than a British beast of a grand touring car? Specifically, one that’s stuffed with a 12-cylinder powerplant, covered in fist-bitingly gorgeous sheetmetal, and lined with fine, sweet-smelling leather? Why, yes. Two of them. That Aston Martin and Bentley arrive simultaneously with Union Jack–waving coupes is the world’s good fortune. That they

A highlight of the week leading up to Saturday’s Woodward Dream Cruise 2019 is the exclusive car show at General Motors’ Warren tech center. Exclusive because it is for GM’s design team only. Not surprisingly, the majority are GM brands, but MotorTrend loves heading to the tech center to see what employees have brought to work

Audi Sport has released a shadowy teaser of six upcoming RS performance models, which could possibly debut at the 2019 Frankfurt auto show. Based on what we’re seeing in this shot, there’s a wide variety of models coming. Recently, we found out during the media launch of the 2019 Audi Q3 that we won’t get the

The Mini John Cooper Works Clubman gets a new 301-hp engine for 2020—and a boost in price, too. After driving the updated JCW Clubman on the outskirts of Frankfurt we found the car was eager to take twisty roads and happy to drive at high speeds in the autobahn. But at $40,000, the JCW Clubman

Thanks in part to the Fast and Furious franchise, demand for the fourth-generation A80 Toyota Supra has been strong for decades. But the launch of the 2020 Toyota Supra has sent demand (and value) skyrocketing. Fancy one for yourself? Well, you’re in luck because this extra-clean example is about to cross the auction block at the Barrett-Jackson

“We sold 27.” Toyota chief engineer Masato Tanabe is curt with his answer. I had asked if Toyota had plans to sell its recently redesigned Century—the chauffeur-driven, ultra-luxury sedan that’s been in production since 1967—in markets outside Japan. He first, quickly, answered, “No.” Then I ask why not. Because, Tanabe-san explains (through a translator), they
