Despite its slick looks, the 2021 Hyundai Elantra packs a snoozer of a powertrain. Sure, the 147-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder and continuously variable transmission ought to offer enough oomph for the average driver (not to mention reasonable fuel efficiency), but the naturally aspirated engine is far too weak for the speed-addled driving enthusiasts. That’s where the new
In this classic clip from Roadkill Episode 39 featuring the legendary green Monte Carlo low-rider, Freiburger and Finnegan take in all of the hydraulic greatness …
Sitting in the cab of a pickup truck, looking down on the vehicles around you, there’s a sense of invincibility. King of the road. With trucks’ high perch and AWD or 4WD capability, you might think you’re in the safest vehicle on the road. So, pickup trucks are the safest vehicles out there, right? When
Just weeks after the Ford Mustang Mach-E’s vehicle engineering manager, Rob Iorio, told The Detroit News that “You can’t just hit the pause button” on the program, there are rumblings that the pandemic has, in fact, hit the pause button on the Mach-E’s launch. The virus will impact deliveries, with the Detroit Free Press reporting
You’re looking at something unreal. We mean that in the literal sense—these are renders created by student designer Esa Mustonen for the RAW Design House, a design consultancy that’s part of Koenigsegg. But it’s also unreal in the figurative sense. It is phenomenal, a truly interesting interpretation of some major Koenigsegg design cues, but remixed
Photos of the forthcoming BMW iX3 may have just been revealed online. An Instagram user posted what appears to be images of BMW’s production-bound battery-electric crossover SUV sans camouflage. The German brand’s EV X3 looks good in the leaked images, too, which show off the model’s black grille, more aero-friendly front fascia, star-shaped wheels, and blue
The BMW 2-Series was launched in the U.S. in 2o14 as the successor to the 1-Series, and it’s already seen a number of transformations and new permutations. Here, it’s been a rear-wheel-drive-based coupe and convertible. Recently, its family was expanded to include a front-drive-based, four-door sedan—a “Gran Coupe” as BMW prefers to call it. Now,
You might be currently thinking one of these three questions: “What is that thing?” or “Where do you take that thing?” or “What’s in the back?” The short answers: John Marshall’s 2005 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U500 expedition camper; everywhere; and everything. The Unimog in general still manages to give many people a case of the verklempts, simply because
In this memorable throwback from Dirt Every Day Episode 52, Fred and Dave take an old Ford F350 and give it the absolute biggest tires they can find.
We love fast cars at MotorTrend—obviously—but aftermarket horsepower comes with the potential for headaches and voided warranties. Luckily, there’s a plethora of high-horsepower cars (and trucks) out there at MSRPs that won’t make your eyes water. We set an arbitrary cap of $75,000 and then picked some of the most compelling vehicles that made 400 (manufacturer-reported)

Something that people generally don’t realize is that the audio in the cabin of a car can often be superior to your home setup, as it has been tuned for the reflections and surface textures around you, and of course, the position of your two ears. That’s not so easy to replicate with a home
Teslas are making surprising appearances in commercial fleets around the world. A little while ago we reported that the Tesla Model 3 has been approved for Taxi Cab duty in New York, and more recently Elon Musk announced that driverless taxis would arrive by the end of 2020.

I’ve long been a hydrogen fuel-cell skeptic. But after laying out my case against “the fuel of the future” in a recent drive comparison of the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, a reader from Down Under pointed me to recent research by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) that promises to address many
Alex Trebek looks at you and then carefully reads the card: “While one of them rests on a ladder frame, the other has unibody construction” and then he looks up. If you were a Jeopardy contestant and shouted “What is the difference between an SUV and a Crossover?” Alex would announce, “Correct!” You’d win the
It’s been two decades since the Toyota Supra was center stage at Toyota dealerships. With the arrival of the all-new A90 generation, believe me when I say we’ve read every one of the “It’s not a real Supra; it’s a BMW with a Toyota badge and body” comments. It’s not, and I wrote a thorough
Fuel economy is something we all think about before making a new-car purchase. Whether you do it to save on gas or simply because you care about the environment, hybrid sedans that deliver good gas mileage have become quite popular. And having a hybrid powertrain doesn’t necessarily mean you’re driving something boring. These days, electrified

Sir Stirling Moss, one of the greatest racing drivers of all time, has died in London at the age of 90 after a long illness. Britain’s superstar driver of the 1950s and early ’60s, Moss won 212 of the 529 races he started, including 16 Formula 1 grands prix. Fast and versatile—he would drive 84
It’s obvious that Hot Wheels has some folks on their design team who really get it. What “it” are we referring to?There are all sorts of little nods and winks to various automotive subcultures all over their collections, and the Manga Tuner—part of the 2020 Tooned collection of adorable disproportioned cars—is the perfect example.

Remember that hilarious Jeep Gladiator commercial from the Super Bowl? You know, the one that saw Bill Murray reprise the character of Phil Connors from Groundhog Day? (Also, doesn’t the Super Bowl LIV halftime show feel like forever ago?) Well, Jeep’s got a new spot that builds on its Super Bowl ad’s Groundhog Day theme and it’s called
We’ll be the first to admit that our day jobs are neither jobs in the truest sense nor the kind that you can casually dismiss as “day jobs.” We’re not punching time cards like Fred Flintsone after busting rocks all day and we don’t write pointless TPS reports for multiple bosses. If on any given
In a bit of goodwill, Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) is teaming up with automotive auction house RM Sotheby’s to raise some money for COVID-19 virus relief by auctioning off the last-ever Porsche 991-series 911, a Speedster variant.

Honda’s reputation for building uncommonly well-engineered affordable cars can trace its roots back decades, and the brand’s fans will point to different eras and claim supremacy for each.
