Nobody can say BMW's latest cars have been forgettable in their styling. The German automaker brought along the gleaming BMW Concept 4 to the Frankfurt Motor Show 2019 this week, and instantly divided opinion about whether its oversized snout was a stroke of design genius or a nasal abomination.
Hyundai has unveiled its latest EV concept car at IAA 2019 in Germany. The car is called the 45 EV concept, and Hyundai says that the concept foreshadows a "new era" of automotive design at the automaker. The new era of design will focus on electrification, autonomous technology, and intelligent design.
Lamborghini is at the Frankfurt IAA and has debuted its awesome Sian FKP 37 hypercar. The car was officially announced earlier this month, but along with the official debut in Germany, we also have some real-world images of the car painted up just like the renderings.
Audi has rolled out a new concept vehicle called the Audi AI:TRAIL quattro. The automaker says that the concept is the off-roader for the future of road transportation. The Audi AI:TRAIL quattro is a four-seat vehicle that has what Audi claims to be unrivaled all-around visibility.
Some cars are just plain iconic, and so expectations for the 2020 Land Rover Defender are understandably high. Making its long-anticipated debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2019 today, the all-new SUV will come in 2020 Defender 90 three-door and 2020 Defender 110 five-door versions, with an optional mild-hybrid gas engine and plenty of off-roading ability.
Where does the luxury car go next, not just when it comes to what's under the hood, but in a new age of design, autonomy, and sustainability? That's the question Mercedes-Benz has set out to answer at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2019, with the VISION EQS concept previewing one possibility and the future of the automaker's Progressive Luxury design language.
The first-generation Audi RS7 Sportback was a marvelous car, but it had some quirks. With only seating for four inside, the promise of a high-speed luxury sedan with coupe-styling felt a little cramped. Now, Audi is changing all this and more with the second-gen 2020 Audi RS7 Sportback. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but I'm a big fan of the new design, and crucially it doesn’t look like a regular A7 Sportback. Indeed, the only shared elements between the base model and the RS7 are the roof, hood, front doors, and tailgate. Everything else is unique.
Volkswagen has revealed the 2020 VW ID.3, the first all-electric car to be based on its brand new EV platform. Previewed earlier this year, and already seeing more than 30,000 reservations in Europe, the ID.3 will offer up to 342 miles of range on a charge while the most affordable model will kick off at under 30,000 euro ($33k) before incentives.
Hyundai is readying a new all-electric concept car, and if the teaser is anything to go by, we're in for something unusual. The automaker has promised to fully reveal the Hyundai 45 Concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show in late September, blending cutting-edge drivetrain tech with a conspicuous nod to the past.
