The Land Rover Defender is an iconic name. The legendary off-roader was completely reimagined a couple of years ago. The short-wheelbase Defender 90 and the longer 110 enjoys decent reception around the world. Now, Land Rover employs it to perform a more family-oriented function, with an even longer Land Rover Defender 130 that can seat up to 8 passengers.
When the whole world goes gaga over SUVs, the Chinese market still loves big sedans and minivans. In this unique environment, we see vehicles offered nowhere else in the world. Lexus LM, such a luxury minivan now gets competition from the 2023 Buick GL8 Century.
It has not been long since Kia brought out their compact crossover, the Kia Seltos. Since then, it has been a smash hit in some markets around the world. In the face of stronger competition, the Seltos now gets a facelift to keep the momentum going.
Estates, or rather stations wagons, are not a very popular body style around here. Europe is where they mostly thrive and there is no shortage of fast estates in the old continent. But there had never been a BMW M3 estate, until now. The 2023 BMW M3 Touring hopes to change the status quo with more than 500 hp.
The global crossover market has reached and crossed its saturation point. If a manufacturer now has to enter this space, they have to bring something special. Replacing the aging Kadjar, Renault Austral brings just that, in the form of rear-wheel steering.
Back in 2015 or 2016, we would have been excited about an economy car getting a touch screen. But even then, touch screens were a given in premium cars. But now, on the premium end of things, we have touchscreen news. 2023 Lexus UX finally gets a touchscreen, waving goodbye to the dreaded touchpad.
Sedans are dying a painful, slow death in most markets around the world. Manufacturers are diverting all their attention and money towards SUVs and crossovers but in India, Skoda and VW are trying to give the three-box formula yet another shot. It started with the Skoda Slavia and now, VW has jumped into the ring with the 2022 VW Virtus.
In today’s car market, any cushy monocoque crossover is guaranteed to set even the most stagnant sales charts moving. Toyota Highlander, despite its late arrival to our market, did accelerate the sales and now here is a new one. The 2023 Toyota Highlander arrives with more tech and a more powerful engine.
The SUV range of every manufacturer is being stretched at both ends. On the big side of things, Jeep debuts the Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L. They also come with a Wagoneer Carbide edition for some added style.
