Honda, in 2022, is on an update spree. Most of their models are going through a generation update. The latest offering to get this treatment is the 2023 Honda Pilot, marking the fourth generation of the SUV.
Just when you thought Lamborghini couldn’t possibly come up with any more Huracan derivatives, the Bolognese Raging Bull has busted out arguably the wildest take yet on its mid-engined V10 supercar.
Production of the new Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato (Italian for “Dirt Road”) commences next February, and just 1,499 units will be built and sold, with ex-factory pricing pegged at 263,000 euros plus taxes, which positions it in Lambo’s line-up between the Tecnica and hardcore STO.
SUVs have been massacring minivans across the world. But there are some markets where they still thrive, and Hyundai aims right at the lower end of this market with the new 2023 Hyundai Stargazer.
Chinese premium brand Exeed recently revealed their cars and plans for the UAE on a live stream to the country’s top media, including DriveArabia. Vice general manager of the Middle East Region Mr Simon, brand director of Exeed international Mr Kevin, product director of Exeed Mr Ge attended and made a detailed demonstration of Exeed’s brand strength, current products and future development plan in the UAE.
Despite the SUV onslaught, some sedan marques still stand supreme, bearing the flag of the three-box on their own. One such brand is the Accord, an ever-green, ever-popular midsize sedan that is now entering its eleventh generation with the all-new 2023 Honda Accord.
American electric trucks are pioneering a segment and other manufacturers are yet to catch up. After the Hummer EV, Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado EV, and still-not-on-sale Tesla Cybertruck, we have a new entrant, the 2024 GMC Sierra EV. This new EV on the block debuts only in its fully loaded Denali trim with 754 horses available.
Recalls from the newest manufacturers, a recall that fixes a problem with just a sticker, and more. Here is the list of all the recalls that were announced in October.
The Urus has been a runaway success for Lamborghini (it currently accounts for more than 60 per cent of the brand’s sales), but the rapid all-terrainer has now been around for four-and-a-half years, so the time was ripe to rejuvenate it with a mid-life revamp.
Cue the new Lamborghini Urus S, which will slot in as the base model of the range in the first quarter of 2023, sitting below the recently unveiled Performante. The Urus S sports the same 666hp/850Nm 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 as the latter, although it doesn’t ditch air suspension in favour of steel springs,
Cadillac has been shaking up their performance line-up. It’s all about the badges at the back of the car. After The ATS was rebranded as the CT4, the Cadillac CT4-V was downgraded to an entry-level sports sedan, placing it among the BMW M Sport, Audi S-whatever and second-tier Mercedes-AMG “43” or “45” models. That’s because GM had plans to introduce the Blackwing version within the V-Series line-up. The CT4-V Blackwing takes the battle to the BMW M and top-tier Mercedes-AMG models, and it literally has a black wing to boot.
Engine downsizing is now the new normal. The big numbers, V12s and V8s are all on their way out, making room for smaller capacity engines. The latest, arguably one of the most controversial entrants to this list, is the 2023 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E-Performance that ditches a throaty V8 for an electrified 4-cylinder but with more power than ever.
