Auto Shows

The 2014 New York Auto Show is fast approaching, and as usual a small roster of green vehicles will be making their debuts. This year it's mainly about production vehicles, with very few green concepts in attendance. That's not such a bad thing though--while there's little truly fuel efficient...

Next week's New York Auto Show will see the debut of a car bound to appeal to fans of diesel wagons everywhere. Aha, you say, it's the new Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen! Well, no. But, yes, sort of. ALSO SEE: Johammer Electric Motorcycle: World's Weirdest Way To Go Green What VW is calling the...

Lexus has unveiled the first official images of its new compact crossover, known as the NX. The NX is set to debut at the upcoming Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, and will be offered with hybrid, turbocharged and naturally-aspirated powertrains. The former, known as the NX 300h, is...

Major manufacturer launches are only one part of the annual Geneva Motor Show. Tear yourself away from the glitzy stands and the smiling girls who recline against the newest launches, and a host of smaller companies showing eco-friendly concepts is always present. This year, several companies stole...

The change has been so gradual you'd hardly notice. Rather than huge multi-cylinder or turbocharged engines, the average wild concept car shown at the Geneva Motor Show is typically powered by fuel cells or batteries, these days. Making its debut at the show this year is La Vecchia's Quant...

Let's get the bad news out the way first: The Volkswagen Golf GTE won't be coming to the U.S. For whatever reason, VW has decided that American customers don't want a 200-horsepower plug-in hybrid Golf, with stylistic touches cribbed from the sporty GTI. Maybe it's not too bad--VW does after all...

It's often said that Jeep is the most valuable part of Chrysler, and the renewal of the legendarily tough utility brand's range is now well underway, courtesy of new owner Fiat. Introduced today at the Geneva Motor Show, the newest model is also its smallest modern-day vehicle ever: the 2015 Jeep...

Nissan spent most of last week teasing images of the 2015 Juke in a frustrating social media campaign. All we really wanted to know was whether the Juke had lost its characterful--if divisive--styling. The good news (or bad news, depending on how much you like the Juke) is that it's lost none of...

One does not simply buy a Rinspeed car. They have no easily-accessible showrooms, and all of their vehicles are one-offs. Instead, they provide endless mirth at major auto shows like that ongoing in Geneva, with vehicles like the autonomously-driven XchangE. It is of course based on the Tesla Model...

MINI's existing Clubman model is an acquired taste, but the Clubman concept launched at Geneva may find a few more fans. It loses the abrupt wagon layout and unusual suicide-style side door, and in its place you get a proper four-door vehicle with better rear passenger space and a larger load area...

The car you see here, the Renault Twingo, will not be sold in the U.S. A car like it will be, though--Smart's next Forfour, and indeed the two-seat Fortwo, have been co-developed with the French brand, so there'll be plenty of similarities between the two. Renault's version of the car is a...

Don't be fooled by the title. It may well read "Mazda Hazumi concept", but Mazda has played this game before. Just as Minagi begat Mazda CX-5 and Takeri begat Mazda6, the Hazumi is essentially the next-generation Mazda2. As you can see from our live Geneva Motor Show photos, the Hazumi--and...

Last year, Subaru used the Geneva Motor Show to launch the Viziv concept, a diesel-hybrid crossover with a sleek coupe silhouette. This year, the Viziv is back--but Subaru has updated it with all-new styling. Viziv-2 might be an unimaginative name, but the crossover is Subaru's latest take on the...

Hyundai's Intrado concept--a fuel cell crossover unveiled at Geneva--is the first Hyundai to be designed under the watchful eye of Peter Schreyer, and it really shows. Schreyer was previously head of design at Kia, and transformed the maker's lineup. On the motor show stand, the Intrado really...

The 2014 Geneva Motor Show is almost upon us, and true to form there's much higher green car content than at other recent shows. Geneva has cultivated an image of forward-thinking vehicles and manufacturers are all too happy to oblige when the Swiss show rolls along. This year includes everything...

Nissan has released its first preview image of the new Nissan Juke, set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next week. The new model is said to look even more striking than before, as well as offering greater efficiency and better refinement than the current model. The Juke was originally...

Hyundai has revealed official images of its Intrado fuel cell concept, due at this year's Geneva Motor Show in early March. Revealed in a preview image back in December, the Intrado is a compact crossover vehicle powered by the latest generation of Hyundai's fuel cell technology, before production...

Ford's global 'One Ford' policy means that fewer and fewer cars in the manufacturer's range are sold in just one market--they need to be viable worldwide to be viable as a whole. That's why you can buy Fiestas in the U.S, while Fusions and Mustangs will soon be on sale in Europe. It's also why the...

With the new Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 crossover launched over the last few years, you might have forgotten the smaller Mazda2 subcompact even exists. Mazda hasn't forgotten the 2 though, and will unveil a new subcompact concept car at the Geneva Motor Show to point the way to its replacement. Mazda...

One of the highlights of the annual Geneva Motor Show--whether technologically or simply for amusement value--is seeing what Swiss automaker Rinspeed has chosen to unveil. For decades the firm has churned out all manner of weird and wonderful vehicles, from submarines based on the Lotus Elise to...
