Range Rover Velar to get electric sports version
Spy photographers have snapped a prototype of what appears to be the next-generation Range Rover Velar. The heavily camouflaged crossover looks sporty yet revolutionary in design. The model will adopt the EMA platform and is scheduled to be launched in 2025. Spy photographers recently captured the upcoming Range Rover EV, which didn't cause much of a stir because it looked almost identical to the internal combustion engine version, but the same can't be said for the redesigned Range Rover Velar, which gets a sportier makeover. 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"); } }); Recently, a prototype was spotted testing, heavily camouflaged but looking more aggressive than its predecessor.

Hyundai to use radiant heating to increase electric vehicle range
New advances in radiant heating could reduce energy consumption by around 17% Hyundai is developing advanced radiant heating panels that could significantly increase the range of electric vehicles in cold climates. The latest panels feature improved technology and increased efficiency. The company envisions installing multiple heaters inside the car to keep them comfortable even in extremely cold conditions. The Lexus RZ is fairly unremarkable, but it stands out because of the infrared heating panels that are located under the steering column and the passenger-side dashboard, and when activated they warm your legs. This has a number of benefits, with Lexus officials telling us that it's more efficient to heat passengers directly than to heat the air in the cabin. Specifically, the company says it "reduces energy consumption by approximately 8 percent compared to a standard climate control system."

2024 Toyota Sequoia Five trim levels are available, ranging from the base SR5 with an 8-inch touchscreen to the Capstone with semi-aniline leather seats and 22-inch wheels. For 2025, Toyota will add some Texas-style luxury to the range with the 1794 Edition. Toyota first introduced the 1794 edition on the last-generation Tundra as a response to Ford's popular King Ranch trim level, which was inspired by 825,000 acres of Texas land and even wore a badge with the ranch's "Running W branding." Rather than being quite so literal, Toyota went a step further with 1794 to refer to the year the land on which the Tundra and Sequoia plant sit was established near San Antonio, Texas... as a ranch. Like Ford's modifications, the 1794 package also has upscale elements. On the outside, it adds a chrome grille, matching trim, and 20-inch wheels.
