• The Kia HabaNiro Concept Is a Rad, Butterfly-Doored Tech Showcase

  17-04-2019 21:08
  The Kia HabaNiro all-wheel-drive EV concept made its debut at the 2019 New York auto show, proving that corporate sister Genesis isn’t the only one who can come up with food-themed monikers for show cars.
  Funnily enough, this isn’t a hot-rod Niro, as you might expect from its name, but rather a showcase for new technologies. With any luck, it also shows us the future direction for Kia styling, with a definitive move away from the bug-eyed Sportage and milquetoast Niro. Kia classifies

  Hyundai has been hustling to expand both the breadth and quality of its SUV lineup, and it’s now introduced the 2020 Venue, an all-new entry-level crossover at the 2019 New York Auto Show. It’s even smaller than the brand’s subcompact Kona but shares its chunky and chiseled good looks, including—at least in upper trims—having a similar grille, LED lights, and cuboid headlights.

  Little crossovers now have a big stage. With the Venue, Hyundai not only has a smaller companion to the Kona crossover, but also a five-door hatchback that may fit in the shadow cast by the big Palisade.

• The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS-class Is Larger and In Charger

  17-04-2019 16:40
  This year’s New York auto show saw the world premiere of the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLS, with the news that the big luxury SUV is, well, bigger than ever. A 2.4-inch wheelbase stretch sees overall length grow by a similar amount, to 205 inches; the new vehicle is also wider, but the roofline has been lowered to improve aerodynamics and its overall proportions.Styling is much of what you’d expect if you’ve seen any Mercedes launched in the past few years. the twin-bar grille carr

• Sy-Cloned: You Can Now Get a GMC Syclone Based on the Canyon

  17-04-2019 15:25
  The state of the sport truck market really is a shame. Sure, we’ve got neato off-road stuff like the Ford F-150 Raptor and Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, but we miss the hunkered-down, powered-up road-hugging specials like the Ford Lightning and Dodge Ram SRT-10. That formula has long since transitioned to the hi-po super-SUV segment, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want a body-on-frame bruiser with an open bed.
  Well, it looks like one of the most iconic nameplates in sport trucks is b

• Buick Unveils the New Encore in China, and It Comes in Two Lengths

  17-04-2019 14:10
  Buick is big in China, so big that its popularity there is basically the entire reason the brand wasn’t killed off back in 2009 during GM’s Red Wedding. So it makes sense that Buick would have a big showing at the Shanghai motor show. This year, that meant Buick brought out four vehicles: two different versions of the redesigned Encore crossover, an electric car, and an updated version of its luxury minivan.Buick says its designers took their inspiration for the redesigned Encores fr

• This Is It: The 2020 Lincoln Corsair Quietly Takes Flight

  17-04-2019 06:01
  Lincoln has not so quietly rolling been out a new “quiet flight” catchphrase for its lineup, and it’s one we heard multiple times during our preview of the all-new 2020 Lincoln Corsair on the eve of the 2019 New York auto show. Visions of aerodynamic gliders and deft ballerinas taking flight dance in our heads. As far as marketing speak goes, it’s actually not too bad.
  But as we all know, once you unlock the Corsair with your smartphone and finally get behind the wheel, a

• The 2020 Toyota Highlander Has What Families Crave

  At first blush—and without the benefit of the logo on its front end or the headline just above this text—you might assume our subject vehicle is a new Subaru, or maybe a new Mazda. A Toyota would probably be a bit farther back in the line, but this is indeed the 2020 Highlander, which gets a full makeover that includes a more refined and sculptural aesthetic.The midsize SUV has moved to Toyota’s TNGA global architecture, which underpins everything from the Prius, C-HR, and Coro

  Nissan unveiled the Chinese market Sylphy sedan at the 2019 Shanghai auto show, and if the past is any indication, this is basically our 2020 Sentra.
