Hybrid

Jaguar Land Rover just announced that all new vehicles it makes starting in 2020 and beyond will incorporate some manner of electrification. That means that its cars and SUVs will have either a pure electric, plug-in hybrid, or mild hybrid drivetrain.…

When Acura resurrected its original mantra of “Precision Crafted Performance” some years back, most of us shrugged and didn’t think much of it. Without a glimmer of the Integra/RSX anywhere to be seen, and turbocharged technology only being bestowed upon the unobtainable NSX, the final portion of this catch phrase felt fairly misaligned with the company’s lineup.…

The future is now, people, and as consumers we play a crucial role in shaping it. Buyer interest in autonomous, electric, tech-filled, and connected cars is molding the roads automakers follow, with many vehicles looking like they’ve been pulled straight from the pages of a science fiction script.…

Despite the fact that it looks like a station wagon, Kia insists on calling its Niro hybrid a crossover. Perhaps it’s due to the wild popularity of crossovers, or the stigma attached to the car-like height of station wagons.…

Porsche has rolled out the new hybrid edition of its performance sedan called the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. The car has serious muscle under the hood and between its wheels with 680 hp and 626 lb-ft.…

If you are in the market for an energy-efficient hybrid SUV to get you and the family around town, Nissan just announced the pricing for the 2017 Rogue Hybrid.…

When you say “EV,” you don’t normally think of a car that can reach over 150 mph. That is exactly what the Hyundai Ioniq HEV has done though.…

The Nissan Rogue has always been a strong seller for the brand, but when auto enthusiasts and journalists talk about cars, the Rogue doesn’t usually come up in conversation.…

Karma Automotive recently held a private event in California to debut its new model, the Karma Revero. The car looks very much like the Fisker Karma of the past, right down to the solar roof.…
