Electric vehicles are definitely the trend now and all manufacturers are setting their eyes on this growing segment. Genesis, an alien to this market, is not waiting any longer and jumps straight in, with an EV adaptation of their gorgeous Genesis G80 sedan.
Superminis are not a very happening segment in the Middle East. Yet some of them did trickle onto our soils, including the Volkswagen Polo. Though the hatchback is not sold here anymore, it gets a mid-cycle facelift in the global markets with an updated design and more technology.
A couple of days earlier, Ford jumped into the EV truck waters with the Ford F-150 Lightning. With the meat of the Lightning range catering to the lifestyle customers, Ford is now wooing the commercial market with their F-150 Lightning Pro, an entry-level model to the EV truck range.
How many SUVs are too many SUVs? Hyundai seems to have trouble answering this question as they still dish out new crossovers by the hour. The South Korean brand already has one of the most crossover-rich lineups but that has not stopped them from launching yet another one. Here is the Hyundai Alcazar, a seven-seat version of the Creta launched in India.
Someone at VW China was finding the large VW Teramont a little too small, and as a result, the new VW Talagon rolls out as the largest VW-badged SUV yet.
The original Ford F-150 SVT Lightning was a “sports truck” last since almost 2 decades ago, bowing out as a legend that was never replaced as the Raptor took over the mantle of top dog.

Audi’s current EV offensive is quite small, consisting of the E-Tron Crossover, E-Tron Sportback and the E-Tron GT sedan. With most of its rivals barging into the EV arena with all guns blazing, Audi is in no mood to rest. This week, they have taken the covers off their smallest EV offerings, Audi Q4 E-Tron and Q4 Sportback E-Tron.
Mitsubishi is finally rolling down the curtains on the fourth-generation Pajero after 15 years on sale with almost no changes. The Japanese brand launched a Mitsubishi Pajero Final Edition in Australia, after they stopped selling the SUV in Japan back in 2019.
Hyundai’s N division may be relatively new to the performance arena but with its strong lineup, it certainly has made enough noise to get noticed. But their arsenal still has a crossover-shaped hole in it, which the new 2022 Hyundai Kona N fills in.
Why stop at five when you can do seven? The folks at Volkswagen must have thought this as they reveal the new VW ID.6 for the Chinese market. The seven-seater crossover comes in as a bigger brother to the five-seater VW ID.4 crossover launched a year ago. The Chinese-only ID.6 is available in two flavours and has all it takes to go global if the market is ripe enough for it, despite the staid looks and cheesy naming system.
