We're live at the North American International Auto Show this week, and we've managed to spend some time having a look at Audi's new Q8 concept. The new Q8 luxury SUV was revealed earlier in the week, and now we're getting to take a look inside. The important thing to note about this concept is that it centers entirely around the interior of the car, with the new infotainment center being the main attraction.
Lexus has announced pricing for its 2018 LC 500 and LC 500h coupes, ahead of the sleek two-doors arriving in dealerships in just a few months time. The cars, based on the LF-LC concept and astonishingly close to that design as they reach production, will sneak in under the $100,000 mark whether you go for the naturally-aspirated V8 or the hybrid model. Meanwhile, there's a healthy options list with some of the niceties we've seen on the GS F, details of which you'll find below.
Like a phoenix from the ashes, Ford is resurrecting the beloved Bronco nameplate, as well as promising to return the Ranger to the US market. The news, shared at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) 2017 this morning, was light on details but heavy on promise, with midsize truck and SUV fans finally getting the news they'd been hoping the Blue Oval would give them for some years now. Don't expect instant gratification, mind.
Infiniti chose to update the oldest model in its line-up with a major makeover that turned almost everyone's head in Detroit at the 2017 North American International Auto Show. The Infiniti QX50 Concept presents an almost-showroom-ready look at what the automaker's compact luxury SUV will bring to the table when it comes to market next year.
Nobody has ever felt their breath catch in their throat at the sight of a Toyota Camry, but that hasn't stopped it from becoming the best-selling car in America for the past fifteen years. Now, Toyota is aiming to "stir the soul" for its eighth generation, with the 2018 Camry promising not only the dependable functionality of its predecessors but some excitement too. Here's how they'll do it.
You don't need to be driven by Waymo's autonomous car to find a high-tech minivan, with Honda's 2018 Odyssey cranking up the gadgetry for the Detroit Auto Show this year. The new minivan not only promises more power and refinement, but the ability to peek into the back via the infotainment system, get online with a baked-in hotspot, and even clean up with an integrated vacuum cleaner. It's enough to make the school run seem like CES.
Mercedes-AMG has brought a new performance version of the Mercedes GLA to Detroit, revealing the 2018 GLA 45 4MATIC. Revamped for the new model year, the sportier AMG GLA packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 381 HP and 350 lb-ft. of torque, which Mercedes' tuning arm says is good enough for a 0-62 mph time of just 4.4 seconds. Top speed is an electronically-limited 155 mph.
Audi has brought two fast helpings of bright red car to the Detroit Auto Show 2017, with the 2018 SQ5 and 2018 S5 Convertible showing up in North America for the first time. In fact, it's the new SQ5's debut worldwide, with the performance version of Audi's best-selling vehicle getting a turbocharged 3.0-liter TFSI engine and new driving dynamics systems. That's despite also delivering better economy than its predecessor, mind.
Nissan has whipped the sheets from its newest concept car, the Vmotion 2.0, a striking luxury sedan with autonomous driving and a high-luxe interior. Revealed today, during the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) 2017, the new concept previews a potential future four-door design direction for Nissan, the automaker promises. That includes more focus on dynamic styling, along with a greater emphasis on the cabin experience.
Is the world ready for a twin-turbo Lexus LS? It really doesn't matter, because that's what we're getting with the redesigned 2018 edition of the brand's flagship luxury sedan. After flirting with turbo technology just a few short years ago in the entry-level Lexus NX crossover, the automaker loses its past reluctance to dance with forced induction by making a bold statement under the hood of its premier model.
When is an SUV not quite an SUV? When it's Audi's Q8 Concept, freshly revealed at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) 2017 today. Blending the size and off-road abilities of an SUV with the design elements of a coupe, and then throwing plenty of new tech - including a plug-in hybrid drivetrain - into the mix, the Q8 is Audi's vision of a new, range-topping luxury car.
While hi-tech cars of the future were unsurprisingly present at CES 2017 last week, Waymo, formerly Google’s self-driving car project and now an independent Alphabet subsidiary, was ominously absent. But that was because it was reserving its big splash at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, where it made some impressive claims about the state of its customized, autonomous Fiat Chrysler minivans. And, in the same breath, in no small part to now more affordable components, Waymo CEO John Krafcik laid out the company’s ambitious plans to bring self-driving cars to the masses this year.
