Back in September when Volkswagen reviewed the 2021 ID.4 EV, the company said that it should offer up an electric range of 250 miles (403 km). Fast forward to November of 2020, and the EPA has given the ID.4 1st Edition and ID.4 Pro that very same estimated rating. With the entry-level models expected to carry around the same battery and motors, this rating could be relevant for the entire ID.4 range. As a reminder, the ID.4 starts out at $39,999 and is powered by an 82 kWh battery pack....

The Lamborghini Aventador is nearing 10 years old and is, naturally, approaching the end of its lifecycle. So, it’s only normal that rumors and speculation would be floating around about its successor, and now we have some real news to share on the Aventador’s replacement – it will feature a V-12 engine, emission regulations notwithstanding. In an interview with Car & Driver, Lamborghinini’s Chief Technical Officer – Maurizio Reggiani – comfirmed this very fact along with another nice little tidbit of info: “The V-12 has been part of the story of...

While it’s starting to get tiring to keep seeing headlights about new Nurburgring records, including Mercedes’ most recent made-up title claim with the four-door GT63 S being the quickest “luxury class” vehicle, this record claim isn’t one we could ignore.

By bigger and better, we mean the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N – the brand’s resident family sedan has begun its move into performance-car territory. Featuring a lot of Veloster DNA and a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that’s good for an impressive 276 horsepower and 289 pound-feet of torque – that’s an improvement of 1 HP and 29 pound-feet over the Veloster N, but the way.

Lexus showed off the facelifted LS sedan back in July, but we’ve been waiting to see what we get here in the U.S. ever since. As you’d expect, the U.S. spec 2021 Lexus LS sees a lot of the same updates  -- including some suspension tweaks and a slightly refined interior – but the highlight is probably the 12.3-inch infotainment system that is finally touchscreen. Starting under the metal, the 2021 Lexus LS features an updated suspension with new spring and damper rates to improve ride quality. Ride quality is...

With the BMW 8 Series and the more controversial 3 and 4 Series out of the way, BMW has finally pulled the sheet of the iX – the production version of the Vision iNext Concept. This large, all-electric BMW is fully connected and semi-autonomous, but the model that you see here is just a prototype as BMW claims the iX is still in its “series production development phase.” The BMW iX is based on an all-new architecture that was developed specifically for battry-electric vehicles, and while it will make its...
