2026 Kia EV4 spy photos revealed, an affordable electric sedan
Spy photographers have captured the 2026 Kia EV4 undergoing testing in Europe. The model is very similar to the EV4 concept car unveiled at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show. The sedan will likely be similar to the EV3, offering two battery packs and a 201-horsepower electric motor. Kia unveiled the EV4 concept at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show, and now we get a look at the upcoming production model, which is expected to go on sale in 2025 on both sides of the Atlantic. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); The prototype was spotted testing in Europe wearing the sleek Opposites United design and was hidden under heavy camouflage.

Hyundai Genesis Coupe recalled due to unexpected movement
Three incidents reported, nearly 13,000 vehicles affected Hyundai is recalling 12,612 Genesis Coupes from the 2010 to 2013 model years. The vehicles are equipped with manual transmissions and ignition lock switches, but these switches may malfunction. This could cause the vehicle to jerk forward or backward if started in gear.

Spy photographers have caught the facelifted Kia EV6 GT testing in Europe. The model follows on from the regular hatchback with revised styling and an upgraded interior. Kia didn't reveal specifics, but we can expect an improved battery pack and a simulated seven-speed transmission.

Volkswagen Transporter T7 spy photos exposed, the interior space is full of boring company
Volkswagen to launch new Transporter, edging closer to Ford, offering diesel, plug-in hybrid and electric drive The Volkswagen Transporter will debut this fall, and spy photographers have snapped photos of it ahead of time. The van will be available with diesel, plug-in hybrid and electric powertrains. In addition, two wheelbases will be offered as well as van and Kombi models. Volkswagen has been teasing the Transporter T7 for what feels like an eternity, but the wait is about to end as the model is set to make its debut this September. While it’s still a few weeks away, spy photographers have snapped some new photos of the van. The Transporter clearly reflects its Ford roots, it's like a boring box with a little bit of Botox added to it.

Mercedes-AMG CLE 63 may be equipped with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine
A lightly camouflaged CLE 63 has been spotted, and it may have around 577 horsepower Development of the Mercedes-AMG CLE 63 continues as spy photographers have spotted a lightly camouflaged prototype. This particular model doesn't come with a charging port, suggesting it's equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine. If so, it'll likely make 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The Mercedes CLE range continues to grow, with spy photographers snapping new photos of the Model 63. The car is wearing very little camouflage, which means a reveal is imminent. Whenever it was introduced, the Mercedes-AMG CLE 63 followed the styling of the 53, with the Panamericana grille and wide central air intake with vertical bars.

US sues National General for forcing customers to buy
The government has sued National General Insurance Company, accusing it of forcing its customers to buy collateral protection insurance. The government said at least 655,000 vehicles will still need to be insured from the National General Insurance Company despite having external insurance cover. Customers would repeatedly prove they had insurance, but National General would not cancel their unnecessary policies. The U.S. Justice Department sued Allstate-owned National General Holdings Corp, alleging it forced Wells Fargo & Co. to purchase collateral protection insurance (CPI) on vehicles financed through the bank.

The C8 Corvette is attracting younger, wealthier drivers

Alfa Romeo Junior EV may be launched in the US
Alfa Romeo is studying the possibility of bringing the Junior EV to the United States. The brand will show the crossover to U.S. dealers and may launch the model in select states. The European-spec Junior Veloce has 276 horsepower and a WLTP range of 255 miles.

Corvette ZR1 and Ford Mustang GTD define America
The Corvette ZR1 and Ford Mustang GTD are two different beasts, but we asked our readers which one they prefer Ford and Chevrolet are preparing to launch high-performance sports cars with more than 800 horsepower. The Corvette ZR1 is even more powerful, with an estimated 1,064 horsepower. The ZR1 will also likely be a lot cheaper, as the GTD is expected to cost around $325,000. The latest Mustang's GTD moniker makes it sound like it's diesel-powered, which is a good match for the Corvette ZR1 unveiled yesterday. With a sticker price of $325,000, the model's value already seemed questionable, but now it's even more so. As you no doubt already know, the Corvette ZR1 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter flat-plane crankshaft V8 that produces 1,064 hp (793 kW / 1,079 PS) and 828 lb-ft (1,121 Nm) of torque. It's coupled to an upgraded eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Chevrolet officials tell us this should…

Buick delays plans to launch first electric car in U.S.
Buick's first U.S. electric car was originally scheduled to debut later this year, but that plan is no longer happening. Buick has decided to delay the launch of its first electric car in the United States. The model was originally scheduled to be launched this year and was expected to be called Electra E5. The crossover was originally expected to be imported from China, but high tariffs may cause the company to rethink its plans. Buick's lineup has undergone a major overhaul, including the all-new Envista, redesigned Enclave, and facelifted versions of the Envision and Encore GX.

Nissan Frontier Forsberg Edition debuts as lifted truck
The Forsberg Edition package adds a lift kit, roof racks, and 17-inch wheels wrapped in chunky tires. February 5, 2024 16:10 The Chicago Auto Show opens on February 8, and Nissan will use the event to launch the Frontier Forsberg Edition. The dealer-installed kit costs a hefty $9,999, but it transforms the truck into a quasi-desert racer. That's no coincidence, since the build was inspired by the Forsberg Racing Frontier that recently won the NORRA 500. Available for Crew Cab pickups, the Forsberg Edition package adds a NISMO off-road lift kit, forged upper control arms and high-performance shocks. They're attached to 17-inch Axis wheels wrapped in Yokohama Geolandar X-AT tires. The upgrades don’t stop there as the kit also includes swingarms and a roof rack with integrated LED lights.

Chicago Auto Show flopped, the Windy City was bleak
The Chicago Auto Show was a dull event with not many highlights except for some facelifted models. February 9, 2024 21:12 The Chicago Auto Show is in full swing, but news is scarce so it's hard to tell what's coming, but there were several notable debuts, including the Ford Explorer, Kia K5, and Kia Carnival facelifts.

While there wasn't anything particularly exciting, there were some notable classic cars on display. One of the coolest was a 1994 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra convertible with a window sticker that said $26,845.

The 2025 Corvette ZR1 is a 1,064-horsepower supercar with a top speed of more than 215 mph
Chevrolet has unveiled the all-new Corvette ZR1. It has a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 engine with 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque. When the model goes on sale next year, it will have a top speed of more than 215 mph. The Bugatti Veyron made its debut nearly 20 years ago with a W16 engine that produced 987 hp (736 kW / 1,001 PS). This was an incredible number for a comfortable production car, but it has now been surpassed by the Corvette.

Kawasaki reveals new hydrogen-powered motorcycle
Kawasaki plans to launch hydrogen-powered motorcycles early next decade Kawasaki has launched a hydrogen-powered motorcycle in Japan. The prototype's engine has been modified to run on hydrogen instead of gasoline. Kawasaki plans to launch a "hydrogen fuel cell" motorcycle early in the next decade. Kawasaki has unveiled a hydrogen-powered motorcycle that promises the benefits of a traditional motorcycle but with far fewer emissions. Based on the Ninja H2, the motorcycle features a 1.0-litre (998cc) supercharged four-cylinder engine modified to run on hydrogen instead of petrol. The motorcycle uses a conventional combustion process, with hydrogen injected directly into the cylinders.

Kawasaki recently held the "world's first public demonstration of a hydrogen-fueled motorcycle…
