    BMW has just launched a new generation of its X3 and soon there will be a hotter version cooked up by Alpina. Alpina is a semi-official BMW tuner that’s been in the business of making Bavaria’s best go faster for over 50 years. We only get to sample Alpina’s talents in two models—the 6-Series-based B6 and 7-Series-based B7—but overseas there are many more models to choose from. One of these is the X3-based XD3 which offers an impressive combination of stump-pulling grunt, all-weather traction and decent fuel economy. A prototype for a new XD3 was recently spotted...

  • 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar first drive

    Land Rover has learned a thing or three since its sale nine years ago. First, pegging your future and bottom line on an all-SUV lineup can be rewarding (except when it isn’t). Second, British automobiles and reliability don’t have to be mutually exclusive (except when it is). Third, economy of scale can work wonders—especially when it’s called the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar. It doesn’t take long for the Velar to run away from the Jaguar F-Pace from which it’s based—it only needs to climb a mountain. The Velar daringly rids itself of the...

A comparison of the two vehicles shows an almost identical design for the greenhouse and wheel arches. The design of the grille is also the same for both vehicles. There are some slight differences, though. The vehicle in the spy shots has longer overhangs front and rear as well as a lower ride height. It also has a thicker tailgate, a wider C-pillar, and much more...
