You have to get up pretty early in the morning to take down the Audi Q5. It has long held Audi's sales crown in the U.S. and beyond for good reasonas far as gas-powered luxury crossovers go, it's tough to find a better one. And yet the Q5 was just dethroned in the U.S. this past quarter by its new all-electric sibling, the Audi Q6 E-Tron. Audi yesterday reported that it sold 10,059 Q6 E-Trons in the U.S. from July through September.

Fuel cell electric buses are moving beyond pilots into growing commercial fleets. They deliver operational strengths - rapid refuelling, long range, and consistent performance across hot and cold weather - but historically carry a total cost of ownership ( TCO) premium compared to diesel, and in many cases versus battery electric buses. That premium depends mainly on hydrogen price, vehicle acquisition cost, and duty cycle profile.

The 2026 Tesla Model Y Performance has officially landed in the United States, one month after debuting in Europe and just hours before the $7,500 federal tax credit ended. The refreshed version of the fastest Model Y costs $59,130, including the destination fee and mandatory order fee, making it $8,500 more expensive than the Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive and $2,500 more expensive than the Model 3 Performance.

It's a funny-looking acronym that is short for extended range electric vehicle. While shrouded in mystery to the average person, marketing managers and bigwig executives see EREVs as the future of driving. The recipe is simple. You take a dedicated EV platform and you add in a gas engine that purely acts as a generator to recharge the battery, not to drive the wheels. You get a familiar user experience, way less range anxiety, and hopefully even fewer emissions.

The rising popularity of self-driving cars has caused many to question just how safe these vehicles are. These concerns were highlighted when one woman posted a video of her dancing in her self-driving Tesla with no hands on the steering wheel. On Sept. 25, San Francisco resident Vanessa Lim (@vanesssalim) posted a video of herself dancing in a Tesla, with text overlay that says, when you can have solo dance parties bc your car drives itself.

In the world of commercial transportation, safety isn't a product of chance - it's a product of habit. From the first click of a seatbelt to the last walk-around with a flashlight, the decisions made daily by drivers, technicians, and safety managers form the backbone of every fleet's performance, reliability, and legal resilience. In this three-part series, Transportation Advisors draws on decades of regulatory insight and field-tested strategies

The Model Y L may be just an extended wheelbase, six-seat version of the best-selling all-electric crossover, but manufacturing such a vehicle at scale while the standard Model Y is still being produced at high volumes in Giga Shanghai is no joke. As could be seen in Tesla China's video, however, it appears that Gigafactory Shanghai's Model Y L line is now dialed in.

The line between Formula 1 race car and road-going supercar has never been thinner than it is with the Mercedes-AMG ONE. Designed as a radical experiment in taking motorsport engineering into the public sphere, the AMG ONE stands as one of the most ambitious projects ever attempted by Mercedes-Benz. With only 275 units built, it represents exclusivity at its most extreme, pairing the heart of a championship-winning Formula 1 car with the functionality of a road-legal hypercar.

Collectors and supercar enthusiasts are about to have a rare opportunity to get their hands on one of the most exclusive Lamborghinis ever built. The 1993 Lamborghini Diablo Evolution GTR - a limited-edition model customized by Swiss Lamborghini importer Roland Affolter - is set to cross the block at Broad Arrow's Zurich auction on November 1. With only ten examples ever produced, the Evolution GTR is a piece of Lamborghini history, representing an era when bespoke performance modifications pushed the already outrageous Diablo even further.

Kent Heritage has taken the concept of restoration and elevated it to something closer to reimagination with The Admiral, its latest Series Land Rover build. This isn't just a refreshed classic - it's a complete transformation that blends rugged heritage with modern precision engineering. After two years of meticulous work, Kent Heritage has produced a vehicle that stays true to the spirit of the original Series Land Rover while elevating its performance, comfort, and style for the modern era.

"DATTCO is known for doing things the right way - with care, detail, and a constant focus on the customer," Tom Wagner, Vice President, Private Sector Sales and Service at MCI, said. "We're proud to deliver these J4500s to such a respected operator and look forward to supporting their team in every way we can."

Are you going to allow OEMs to control the vehicles? said Farley on The Verge's Decoder podcast. How far do you want the Apple brand to go? Do you want the Apple brand to start the car? Do you want the Apple brand to limit the speed? Do you want the Apple brand to limit access? In this respect, Ford has already rolled out several features to its Pro customers, such as limiting access to the vehicle on the weekend.

Even at a brief glance, the Subaru Crosstrek clearly prioritizes rugged design and personality over any semblance of aerodynamic efficiency. Subaru's best-seller also comes only in all-wheel drive, to stay true to customer expectations of all-weather confidence and the appeal of an aspirational adventure lifestyle. And yet, the latest-generation Crosstrek's new hybrid variant improves power and torque output significantly, while simultaneously resulting in the most efficient Crosstrek to date.

Tesla wrapped up the final week of Q3 2025 in China with its most impressive week of the quarter, logging 19,300 insurance registrations between September 22 and 28. This represented an 11.56% increase from the 17,300 units that were registered in the previous week. With 66,250 registrations during September's fourth week, the company finished Q3 on a high note, signaling renewed momentum in the largest EV market in the world.

The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid gives the brand's smallest utility vehicle what it's long needed: better gas mileage. It's a compact all-wheel-drive crossover hatchback that incorporates all of Subaru's traditional off-road chops, with the added benefit of somewhat better fuel efficiency. It's rated at 36 mpg combined versus the 29 mpg EPA combined number for the conventional Crosstrek, with either 2.0- or 2.5-liter engine. (The butch Crosstrek Wilderness trim comes in at 27 mpg combined.)

I want to have those current Polestar 2 customers back. I want to have those, because we built it up [the customer base]," Lohscheller said. "I think we did a great job, and I want to keep them in the family.

The Nissan Ariya might be one of the best deals on the used car market right now. The Japanese electric crossover has always been somewhat lukewarm compared to the competition. However, when a barely used Ariya is roughly half the price of a new one, it makes a lot more sense. The Nissan Ariya has always flown under the radar. It's Nissan's first properly modern electric car after the aging Leaf, but it never quite managed to capture the public's attention. It has a great interior

The off-road world is undergoing a dramatic shift, and the Vanderhall Brawley GTS is leading the charge. Officially hitting production, this electric UTV raises expectations for what an all-terrain vehicle can deliver. Blending serious power, advanced technology, and surprising comfort, the Brawley GTS positions itself as a machine built not just for enthusiasts, but for adventurers who expect more from every ride.

The threat of tariffs is prompting a number of overseas automakers to tout the extent of their investment in the U.S., with Hyundai's big investment earlier in the year being a particularly high-profile example. (Albeit with some more recent complications.) But they aren't the only foreign marque with manufacturing operations in the U.S., and this month Volvo offered some hints as to what we can expect from their facility in Ridgeville, South Carolina.

Then there are the so-called legacy automakers, such as General Motors and the Volkswagen Group, which are trying hard, stumbling often, and still making some progress. The last group is barely even trying. It includes Toyota and Stellantisboth of which seem far too comfortable selling gas cars and hybrids, but are dabbling in EVs just enough to say that they're in on the transition.

For someone managing a fleet of vehicles or a one-person shop servicing whoever comes through the door, or the passionate weekend warrior looking at unexpected repairs, the cost of the whole engine is not one to take lightly. Buying a new or rebuilt engine can be one of the most expensive parts of car ownership, with replacement engines costing owners from a little over £1,000 for a small four-cylinder to £10,000 or more for high-end vehicles or high-performance builds.
