You know times are changing when Alpine has not one, but two EVs in its lineup. Following the launch of the A290 hot hatch last year, Renault’s performance arm introduced the A390 this week as the brand's first SUV. Sorry, it's a sport fastback. Currently hidden under a cover, a…

Jaguar has been culling its lineup as the brand prepares to reinvent itself for a new era. That has forced the company to discontinue several models, and the lack of product is starkly visible in new registration data from Europe. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, only 49 Jaguars…

General Motors graced its big body-on-frame SUVs with some mid-cycle updates for 2025. That includes the Escalade, which doesn’t look much different on the outside, but holy potatoes is it different inside. Serving as GM’s flagship SUV, the Escalade is second only to the ultra-expensive (and ultra-exclusive Celestiq) as Cadillac’s…

Renault’s performance arm is doing better than ever. Fueled by its first electric model launch, the A290 hot hatchback, Alpine posted record sales in 2024 for the fourth consecutive year.

Raise your hand if you saw this coming. After exiting the US a couple of years ago, the purely electric MX-30 is also dead in Europe (including the UK). We noticed the model’s absence from several configurators across the Old Continent, so we contacted Mazda to find out what’s happening.…

When Volvo teased the new XC70 at the beginning of the month, we had a feeling it wouldn’t be a wagon. Sure enough, fully revealing images of the resurrected nameplate confirm its transition to an SUV. We aren't even surprised. Ahead of its official debut, the vehicle has appeared early…

Drastic times call for drastic measures. Amid a series of cost-cutting efforts in its fight for survival, Nissan may also part ways with its global headquarters. The troubled Japanese automaker moved its base from Tokyo to Yokohama in 2009, following two years of construction. Located in the Minato-Mirai 21 district,…
