    2015 Kia Soul EV Electric Car: Chicago Auto Show Live Photos

    Yes, they're still selling these things with hamsters. If you can get over the rodent-based adverts, Kia's new electric Soul, the 2015 Soul EV, is quite an interesting vehicle, and it's the first electric car sold by Kia in the U.S. It's making its debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show, and gives...

    Nissan IDx Freeflow: Tokyo Star Makes Economy Cars Fun Again

    While the tendency to assume things were always better in the old days is often misguided, there's still a lot to be said for nostalgia. Everyone loves an old movie, and who doesn't listen to some classic rock now and then? Nostalgia has also given us some great retro reinventions of classic...

    Nissan Unveils ZEOD Electric Race Car Prototype At Le Mans

    The 24 Heures du Mans endurance race, held at Circuit de la Sarthe in France, is the world's most famous endurance car race. It's also a hotbed of automotive technology development. So while Audi's dominance and the sad loss of competitor Allan Simonsen in the weekend's race dominated the on-track...

  • 2014 Kia Soul
    2014 Kia Soul Revealed At NY Auto Show, Live Photos

    It might not look too different from the old model, but the car you're looking at here is the new 2014 Kia Soul. The Sould might have dropped a few MPG in Kia and Hyundai's gas mileage fiasco but there was little wrong with the way it looked, and the new car simply incorporates a few cues from last...

    Mitsubishi CA-MiEV Concept: Compact Electric Car At Geneva

    As Mitsubishi rolls out its "global small" platform across the globe, it showed what could be the next generation of small car at the Geneva Motor Show.

  • Toyota i-Road Concept, 2013 Geneva Motor Show

    The annual Geneva Motor Show is a haven for weird and wonderful concept vehicles, and one of the strangest this year is the Toyota i-Road concept. The i-Road is described by Toyota as "a new form of transport", designed as an easy-to-maneuver, zero-emissions form of inner-city transport. We've heard that brief before, of course. It's the reason Smart exists, and Renault already has such a car in production, in the form of the Twizy. The three-wheeled Toyota offers some advantages over either of these vehicles though. For a start, it's narrower than the Smart Fortwo. At just over 33 inches...

    Subaru Viziv Concept: Diesel Hybrid Crossover From Geneva Motor Show

    Subaru's last crossover was the slightly underwhelming XV Crosstrek, but its latest concept looks a lot more exciting. Unveiled today at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the Viziv Concept is a diesel hybrid crossover, hinting at the looks and powertrain of some future Subaru models. Traditionally...

    2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel: Chicago Live Photos

    As one of two new U.S.-built diesels going on sale in 2013, the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel is a hugely important car. Chevy launched the Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel (to use its full, rather awkward title) earlier this morning at the Chicago Auto Show, and now we can bring you photos of the car from...

  • Kia Cross GT Concept, 2013 Chicago Auto Show
    Kia Cross GT Hybrid Concept: 2013 Chicago Auto Show

    Launched today at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, the Kia Cross GT does nothing to make us doubt Kia's future design direction. The dramatic luxury crossover concept really stands out, reaching far beyond the company's budget roots. It's the tech under the skin that interests us though, as the Cross GT...

  • 2014 Kia Forte 5-door hatchback, 2013 Chicago Auto Show
    2014 Kia Forte Five-Door: Chicago Auto Show Live Photos

    It's a lot of fun attenting auto shows. We get to see the latest cars the second they're unveiled, hear the reactions of other show-goers, and write about it to audiences eager to see where their next car is coming from. But it's also hard work, which is why we rather appreciated Kia's offer of...

    Nissan Resonance Hybrid Crossover: Detroit Auto Show Live Photos

    Hinting at the look of the next Murano, Nissan debuted the Resonance Concept at the North American International Auto Show this week. Much like the original Murano, the Resonance features striking styling that previews the look of future Nissan vehicles, while taking the crossover concept to new...

  • 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 (Euro-spec car)

    You'd struggle to tell at a glance, but the car you see here has the most aerodynamically-efficient shape of any car on sale. The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is the firm's smallest sedan, based on the front-wheel drive A-Class sold in Europe. Already an efficient shape, the elongated tail of the CLA, a four-door coupe, gives it one of the most streamlined bodies ever seen on the roads, with a drag coefficient of only 0.23--a Prius is rated at 0.25, and the typical car is nearer 0.3. Streamlined it may be, but the CLA is every inch a Mercedes-Benz. As you can see in our live photos from Detroit, it...

    We've previewed it, we've driven the prototype, and now we can bring you live photos of the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV. Chevy has turned its smallest offering into an electric car, and while there was some initial debate over whether it was a compliance car, the finished product appears anything but...

  • 2014 Kia Forte sedan, launched at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show
    2014 Kia Forte: Los Angeles Auto Show Live Photos

    Today at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Kia took the wraps off its new compact car, the 2014 Kia Forte. As our live images from the show floor demonstrate, the 2014 Forte is a sleeker, more aerodynamic four-door sedan than the car it replaces--now much closer in shape to its Hyundai Elantra sibling...

    We previewed the 2014 Fiat 500e this morning, and now we can bring you live photos from the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. The diminutive electric city car might not be beloved within the company, but there's still a lot to like about it. In bright orange, Fiat and Chrysler's compliance car certainly...

  • 2013 Renault Zoe electric car (European model) at 2012 Paris Auto Show
    2013 Renault Zoe Electric Car: Paris Auto Show Live Photos

    Could Renault's Zoe be a game-changer in the electric car market? It might only be going on sale in Europe, but several signs are pointing towards it being significantly more popular than cars like the Nissan Leaf. The first is its size. Subcompacts are very popular in Europe, with cars like the...

  • 2013 Honda CRZ, 2012 Paris Auto Show

    Honda's updated CR-Z hybrid hatchback may not have been one of the stars of the Paris Auto Show, but with a power boost and some styling tweaks it's welcome all the same. With a boost in power from 122 to 135 horspower, the new model knocks over half a second from the old car's 0-62 mph time, now completing the sprint in 9 seconds flat. The CVT model is a tenth behind that, and both benefit from a new S+ boost mode, which provides ten seconds of extra power for those overtaking moves or for joining freeways. Official fuel economy figures on the European cycle are unchanged, so we're not...

    Lexus LF-CC Concept: Paris Auto Show Live Photos

    Lexus revealed its LF-CC hybrid coupe concept shortly before the 2012 Paris Auto Show, and now we can bring you a live image gallery from the show itself.

    Smart Forstars Concept: Paris Auto Show Live Photos

    Smart might be struggling to sell its ageing ForTwo at the moment but its design department is certainly keeping busy.

Now it has a pair of siblings: the 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT and Elantra Coupe, unveiled today at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. The Elantra GT is the...
