It will arrive in showrooms in 2020 and is expected to be similar in size to the Tiguan. VW made the confirmation on Tuesday at a preview event for the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show, which starts Wednesday. It’s the first time the ID Crozz concept has been shown on local soil.

  • 2019 Lincoln Nautilus, 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show
    2019 Lincoln Nautilus improves on MKX in almost every way

    The Lincoln MKX is dead. Kind of. Its replacement is the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus, but aside from a new name, a freshened face, an updated powertrain, and more advanced driver assistance technology, this is still a Ford Edge-based crossover, for better or worse. The crossover was revealed ahead of the...

  • 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line

    The Volkswagen Tiguan is a nice, handsome option in the small SUV segment. It is not, however, very sporty looking. Enter the latest Volkswagen R-Line package. Attached to the 2018 Tiguan, this affordably priced trim package adds an extra dose of spice to this currywurst of a crossover. There’s new front and rear fascias, the former of which is so low it’s easy to forget the Tiguan is supposed to be a crossover. That said, neither new body piece feels tacked on or unnatural—both the front and the rear clip fit in with the rest of the Tiguan’s lines. We especially like...

    The first thing that Eric Younger wants you to know about his CJ-5-turned-tavern is that no actual Jeeps were harmed in the making of this bar. "No, we did not ruin a Jeep for it. It's built completely out of junk parts, other than the tires and the wheels," he said. Younger owns a 4x4 specialty...

The reveal comes up at the 11.0-second mark as a graphic in the vehicle’s infotainment system. Lamborghini understandably has removed the video from its YouTube channel, although not before the short clip was uploaded by other users...

    2019 Subaru Ascent spy shots

    When it was dropped at the end of the 2014 model year, Subaru’s Tribeca was both the oldest and least popular model in the automaker’s lineup. But given the strong demand for reasonably priced SUVs with third-row seats, it was only a matter of time until a replacement was launched. The...

  • Jon Olsson's custom Mercedes-Benz G500

    Jon Olsson isn't just a professional freeskier and ski racer, he's also a horsepower junkie. Why do we say that? Because he owns multiple wild creations that make in excess of 800 horsepower, including one of the most rambunctious Rolls-Royce Wraiths we've ever seen. Now, there's this: his new 800-hp Mercedes-Benz G500 4x4. Absolute Motors, a performance shop in The Netherlands, once again helped Olsson bring his latest creation to life, though the SUV will return for official dyno numbers in the near future. The 800 hp figure is only an estimate at this time. We don't have a full spec sheet...

    Hyundai SUV onslaught will include diesel, electric and fuel cell models
