The electric vehicle in question should have been the production version of the Lanzador EV revealed in August 2023 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It would likely have undergone changes during its transition from concept to production, but it would have remained a high-riding SUV-like 2+2 coupe grand tourer with an electric motor powering each axle, delivering a combined output of over 1,000 kilowatts (1,360 hp).
Polestar 2 is the foundation of our brand, with over 190,000 cars sold and an enthusiastic community of customers, said Michael Lohscheller, Polestar CEO. Bringing the next generation of this iconic car at record speed, by the start of next year, is very exciting. The car that we became known for will play a key role in our future success, he added.
Toyota is turning the Highlander - one of its most established nameplates - into an EV. The 2027 model is the SUV's first ground-up redesign in more than a decade and will be Toyota's first three-row EV for the US market. It's also the first battery-electric Toyota to be assembled in America, with production set for Kentucky using US-made batteries.
The long-awaited Apple Car might have never seen the light of day, but the tech giant's vision now lives on through Ferrari's first electric vehicle. Dubbed the Ferrari Luce, meaning 'light' in Italian, this ultra-high-end sports car features a stunning interior designed by ex-iPhone design boss Sir Jony Ive. Sir Ive is arguably one of the most influential designers of the century, having shaped the look of Apple's most iconic products from the Mac to the iPhone.
The EX60 sits on Volvo's most advanced architecture to date, SPA3, and it promises 400 miles of range on the EPA cycle. Volvo wants to make things right after the messy launches of the EX90 and EX30 EVs, which were riddled with software gremlins and unfinished features that frustrated owners. Now, the Swedish automaker that used to be a synonym for reliability and dependability is giving it all in a new push.
This is the first picture of a much-loved five-year-old boy killed after being struck by a family friend's electric vehicle that allegedly accelerated on its own accord. A court heard motorist Ashenafei Demissie claims he was sitting in his parked Volkswagen ID.4 when it suddenly sped into Fareed Amir and his own son Raphael, 12, in November 2022. Demissie, 52, denies causing death and serious injury by careless or inconsiderate driving in a car park outside his flat near London Bridge Station, The Times reports.
Citroën presents the multipurpose ELO concept car, which doubles as a temporary camp with inflatable mattresses and a power generator. The electric automobile can become a resting place, as the two beds stored in the rear area can be inflated using the compressed air that is already part of the car system. These mattresses fill the space to create a bed for two people, allowing the passengers to lie down after a long drive.
The 2026 Subaru Trailseekernot officially an electric Outback, but that's what it is effectivelywill have an estimated 280 miles of range when it goes on sale early next year, the company announced on Thursday. When the Trailseeker first broke cover earlier this year as Subie's second-ever electric vehicle, the company touted a less impressive range of "more than 260 miles." It may only by 20 extra miles, but psychologically at least, I think 280 miles sounds a lot more appealing
As the automaker's first foray into the performance electric car segment, it lays the groundwork for a decade-long rebranding as a luxury high performance marque. In other words, the low and wide electric crossover you see here is very important for the company that makes it, so it needs the right ingredients to deliver the promised luxury and high performance. Thankfully, it seems to check all the right marks, at least on paper.
Hyundai is bringing an extreme off-road show vehicle to the LA Auto Show. Dubbed the Crater, the adventure-ready crossover rides high on chunky tires. Hyundai didn't say what could power the off-roader, but it sure looks like an EV. Roaming dirt roads and hard-to-access places in complete silence is a serene experience that can only happen if you're behind the wheel of an electric car. Rivian owners have known this for a few years, but Hyundai seems to want a piece of the action, too.
Its core trait is its minimalistic and very Swedish exterior design. The 4's muscular figure, unique headlights, and interesting body lines give it solid presence. But the real elephant in the room is no glass on the rear hatch, which no doubt makes it stick out on the road. The reasoning, though, is fairly straightforward: it's the only way that Polestar could give a compact crossover SUV such a sleek figure without sacrificing rear-seat passenger head or legroom.
Ford says it wanted to take a "bold look" at the original California Special Mustangs, with their distinctive red and black color scheme, and figure out how to bring that within the Mach-E design. That translates into trading the red-and-black paint for a new color called Rave Blue, which Ford says mimics the blue coastal waters of California. The California Special also removes the side scoops, adds 20-inch carbonized gray wheels with a printed GT/CS logo, and gloss black aero wheel covers.
BMW somehow sold a brand-new first-generation i3 EV in the U.S. this year. The car was discontinued stateside in 2021. Most likely, a dealer had the car stashed away somewhere and finally sold it in the third quarter of 2025. The first-generation BMW i3 will always be remembered as a quirky and innovative electric car, but what's even more interesting is that someone, somewhere in the United States, bought a brand-new one recently.
For the uninitiated, a diwheel (or dicycle, depending on who you ask) consists of two large rings with the rider sitting in a frame between them. Unlike a monowheel, which requires constant balance and gyroscopic forces to stay upright, a diwheel is naturally stable. The outer rings rotate around a stationary inner frame via roller bearings, and the whole thing steers like a tank: differential power to each wheel. It's the kind of vehicle that makes you wonder why we ever settled on boring old bicycles,
In August, I planned to drive from the Bay Area to Los Angeles County and back to help my friend move. We needed a rental car that had sufficient storage space and wouldn't rack up a big gas bill. My friend suggested a Tesla Model Y because its driver assistance technology would make the seven-hour trek south - my first long-distance drive - easier.
Three years ago, I set off on an 800-mile road trip between Montreal and Toronto (and back again) in a Ford Mustang Mach-E. The goal? To probe the pain points of using a battery-powered electric vehicle for long-distance travel along one of the busiest routes in Canada. Although the end result was a success, that victory was qualified by an indictment of Toronto's EV charging options (pretty painful across the board) and my own lack of initial planning (inexcusable, to tell you the truth).
When an EV concept as beautiful as this arrives on the scene, it becomes even more desirable. This hatchback concept by Vauxhall, all set to make an appearance at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich on September 8th, 2025, proves the fact. The future-forward yet practical performance car is also going to debut in the digital realm in the Gran Turismo 7 video game this autumn. So, gamers better keep an eye out as well to grab hold of its steering and test the limits.
The Buick Electra Orbit features a space-age aesthetic with proportions resembling jet aircraft and classic Buick designs, highlighted by a low front section and wide central body.
