McLaren has confirmed that its next supercar will be called an Artura, and we have spy shots of a prototype. Due in the first half of 2021, the Artura will sit between the GT and 720S in McLaren’s model hierarchy.

Audi is developing a new compact SUV with battery-electric power to be called a Q4 E-Tron, and a coupe-like version to be called a Q4 Sportback E-Tron is also coming.

Ford promised that its Mustang Mach-E would offer up to 300 miles of range, and now the EPA’s range estimates confirm it. The 300-mile figure is when the battery-electric SUV is equipped with an 88-kilowatt-hour battery rear-wheel drive. Add all-wheel drive and the figure drops to 270 miles.

Chevrolet hit a home run with its C8 Corvette and the car’s convertible option is just the icing on the cake. The Corvette convertible has gone down the proper supercar route of using a retractable hardtop that folds neatly below a tonneau cover.

Honda will soon unveil a Legend sedan boasting a Level 3 self-driving system. The car is an updated version of the soon-to-be-discontinued Acura RLX, and we’ve just spotted a prototype.

Remember the Mercedes-Benz R-Class? Well, the nameplate might make a comeback as Mercedes is reportedly looking at adding an electric minivan to its lineup. There’s also talk of AMG version coming.

General Motors is committed to launching 30 new electric vehicles by the end of 2025, and two of them have just been shown for the first time. One is the GMC Hummer EV SUV (previously the pickup was shown) and the other is a new full-size pickup truck from Chevrolet. The latter could have up to 450 miles of range.

Lincoln has just updated its Nautilus and the handsome SUV finally has the interior it’s always deserved. The new interior features an elegant design with premium materials similar to what you find in Lincoln’s bigger SUVs, and there’s a new 13.2-inch screen that serves as the main hub for the infotainment system.

Hyundai has developed a dedicated EV platform that will spawn models for its own brand, as well as Genesis and Kia. The Kia EV based on the new platform has been spotted ahead of a likely debut next year.
