  • 2019 Lincoln Nautilus

    Luxury buyers will have a new name to consider in the mid-size crossover market: the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus. Lincoln announced this week that the Nautilus, which takes over duties from the ambiguous MKX, will start at $41,335. Along with the pricing announcement, the Ford luxury brand also launched the crossover's online configurator. Buyers will be met with four separate trim distinctions: Nautilus base, Select ($45,540), Reserve ($49,870), and Black Label ($57,890). The base Nautilus is actually $1,300 more than the outgoing MKX, but it's for the better. All Nautilus models come standard...

  • 2019 Audi Q8, Atacama Desert, Chili, media drive, June 2018
    2019 Audi Q8 first drive review: The Q flagship

    If a Hollywood studio wanted to fake a Mars landing, I’d strongly suggest sending a film crew to the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. The vast, empty stretches of reddish sand peppered with loose rocks form a convincing backdrop in which to embed UFO-related props. I’m not in an...

  • 2019 Audi e-tron prototype
    With CEO behind bars, Audi delays reveal of e-tron electric SUV

    Audi's crucial new e-tron won't be revealed on August 30 as originally planned due to the latest diesel scandal-related crisis plaguing the automaker.

  • 2019 Audi SQ8 spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    Audi has a new flagship SUV coming for 2019, and it's called the Q8. Today we have spy shots and video of the sporty SQ8 variant which should arrive in showrooms roughly alongside the standard Q8 later this year. Further down the track there will be a fully fledged RS Q8 joining the fold. Audi trademarked the names of both performance SUVs in the recent past. The Q8 is a coupe-like SUV similar in size to the Q7. It's a rival to the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, so presumably any SQ8 would rival sportier alternatives of those vehicles, i.e. the X6 M50d and Mercedes-AMG GLE43 Coupe...

  • The LS3-powered Bruiser Jeep Wrangler 6x6
    Bruiser Conversions made a V-8-powered Jeep Wrangler 6x6

    What is it about an increased wheel count that puts a smile on our face? It must be the ridiculous idea of a road car packing six-wheel drive, not to mention all the engineering required to make it work. Putting engine power out to all that extra rolling mass is no easy job though, but Bruiser...

  • 2018 Bentley Bentayga

    Bentley previously said it needed more Bentayga derivatives to keep the luxury SUV the newest kid on the block. Now, it appears more are coming, and one will be a performance-oriented Bentayga Speed model. Speaking with Autocar in a Wednesday report, Bentley design boss Stefan Sielaff confirmed a Bentayga Speed is in the pipeline. We should see typical cues from the Speed treatment, including tweaked exterior design, racier colors, more power, and a reworked cockpit. Sielaff noted the Bentayga speed will absolutely be a "big change" over the current SUV's design and said the model's...

  • 2019 Kia Niro EV

    Kia on Thursday introduced the new electric version of its Niro compact crossover SUV at the 2018 Busan auto show in Korea. Called the Niro EV and taking inspiration from a concept of the same name unveiled at January's 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, the newest addition to the Kia lineup is set to join hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the Niro when it goes on sale early next year. Sadly, the production Niro EV looks relatively plain, based on the existing silhouette, lights, and bumpers, when compared with the cool-looking concept shown during CES. Unique treatments include the...
