Certain models rely more on the electrical motor, others prioritize the gas-powered engine, with the rest combining the performance of both.

Theodoros Georgiou — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 23:00:27 GMT

For the past few years, SUVs have dominated the auto market as the most popular vehicle segment in terms of sales. This is down to the taller seating position and the larger dimensions these vehicles have to offer. You feel safer in them while having more space for passengers and their stuff compared to an average sedan. This increase in the popularity of the SUV has led to a drastic uptick in the available models, making it challenging to decide which brand and model to go with.

The 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland Has Put Everyone On Notice

Abdullah Tariq — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 16:01:27 GMT

There's a popular line from the iconic movie "Dark Knight" in which Harvey Dent says, “You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” While this adage can be applied throughout various facets of life, we feel it especially echoes in the rapidly evolving EV industry. Superheroes, in all their glory, can eventually fade, and so can groundbreaking electric vehicles when newer challengers rise. Even the most popular electric vehicles can most likely become less desirable and trusted over time. Such is the shifting tide we now observe with the Tesla Model 3.

What Tesla's Insane Price Cuts For The Model S And X Really Mean

Nacim Ourabah — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 17:00:26 GMT

It seems Tesla is back on its generosity spree. Previously this year, the Austin-based automaker had slashed prices on its two best-selling models: the Model Y and the Model 3. The reason for that seems to be a production backlog, and Tesla appears intent on alleviating its inventory with appealing price cuts in the United States. In China, where Tesla is the second-biggest manufacturer, the company is cutting prices, and prioritizing volume sales, to the detriment of profit.

As the world pivots towards adopting electric vehicles to reduce carbon emissions in the automobile industry, it's imperative not to overlook another viable option with immense potential of taking zero-emission vehicles to new heights. We're talking about hydrogen-powered vehicles, which have not yet received the same level of recognition as their counterpart electric vehicles.

10 Things To Know About The Dodge Charger Daytona EV

Joaquin Naval — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 18:01:26 GMT

When you think of Dodge and American muscle, your mind probably defaults to that iconic, all-black modified 1970s Charger from Fast and the Furious. Dodge as a brand started over 100 years ago, and you wouldn’t have guessed that it started off as a bicycle company. It was only in 1914 that the company dwelled in the automobile-making business. At the peak of the Second World War, Dodge pivoted its production towards radar units to help with the war efforts. However, it was in 1950 that Dodge produced its first ever hard-top coupe, the Dodge Diplomat.

10 EV Innovations That Are Setting New Industry Standards

Bruno Maia — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 16:00:27 GMT

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will play an important part in the world's transition towards a low-carbon economy. Far from being just a trend, electric vehicles are set to take over the world steadily and surely, as emission regulations become more and more restrictive, and while some governments are opting for an all-out ban on internal combustion engines (ICE) in the automotive industry by the year 2035. This means people will have to adapt to EVs sooner or later. Some might take it more difficultly. Recharging an EV currently takes longer than fueling a regular ICE car, for example, and the charging infrastructure itself still needs a lot of development and investment in order to effectively cover all the geographical area where EVs will be riding in the future.

Jarro Cabañes — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 11:00:09 GMT

Completely understandable; especially when “911” has seemingly become a generalization of a car that currently consists of 26 different variations. So when they say the 911 is a versatile everyday sports car, it seems like an understatement. With the recent releases of the GT3 RS, Dakar, and the light-weight ST, the 911 arguably has also become a sports car for any occasion, whether that occasion be spending a day at the racetrack with your track-rat buddies or entertaining your kids in the sand dunes of Dubai.

How BMW's Vision Neue Klasse Concept Previews The Brand's Future

Nacim Ourabah — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 21:00:29 GMT

BMW has recently unveiled its Vision Neue Klasse concept car at the IAA Mobility Auto Show, in Munich, Germany. The Neue Klasse, which formerly referred to a classic family of BMWs, is now the moniker of an upcoming branch of EVs with a redefined style. The company describes its vision for the future with three main traits: iconic, cool, and alive. The first one refers to the timeless geometry of the vehicles, which aim to be humbly charming instead of forcibly fashionable. Whether the Neue Klasse EV achieves just that is currently a matter of diverging opinions. While we've grown accustomed to extravagant concept cars such as the Mercedes Vision One Eleven, the Neue Klasse Concept takes a detour around that norm with a simpler look. The result, however, has generated mixed reactions online. While some fans appreciate the design of the concept as a healthy innovation, others see it as a faux pas on BMW's part.

SCOOP: Is A Ford F-200 Pickup On The Horizon?

Bruno Maia — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 20:46:29 GMT

Out of all the legacy automakers, Ford seems to be the one most focused on not being left behind by the competition. A few days ago, Ford filed for a trademark of the name F-200 in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This could mean a couple of different things. If we base ourselves on Ford's pick-up names like the F-150, F-250, F-350, and F-450, then an F-200 model could very well be an F-150 with a bit more capability with regard to towing capacity and load.

Brian Anderson — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 17:01:27 GMT

The Suzuki Samurai was a fun 4x4 that hit the U.S. in 1986 and actually outsold the Jeep Wrangler in the beginning. As much as the American off-roading community loved this sub-compact trail toy, it was unfairly tagged as dangerous, with onerous claims that it was prone to rollovers.
