Volvo debuted its XC90 back in 2002 winning the North American Car of the Year Award, but it was the Swedish carmaker's second-gen iteration in 2015 that brought a modern Scandi design aesthetic to the luxury SUV market and changed the game in the three-row segment – its clean lines, elegant interiors, and advanced technology resonated with buyers looking for luxury and family-friendly utility. It remains the brand's best-selling model in…

The company took the covers off eco-friendly two-wheelers at EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy. These are the EV Fun Concept and EV Urban Concept, which will soon hit global markets. The first is a sportier variant blessed with a sleek silhouette. According to the manufacturer, it’s also incorporating existing technologies from its motorcycle division. These elements endow the electric bike with top-notch handling, reliable stopping power, and comfortable…

Compared to its fellow South Korean marquee, Hyundai, it has been relatively quiet about sustainable motoring. Nonetheless, the PV5 WKNDR and EV9 ADVNTR can potentially disrupt the scene. We mean that in a good way, as these two made their debut at the 2024 SEMA Show. Kia Design Center America (KDCA) is behind the futuristic overlanding machines. The annual expo brings together people who are seriously…

Oct. 28th, 2024 Mazda just broadened the audience of its flagship SUV with a brand new model name. I took the all-new 2025 Mazda CX-70 on a road trip from Charleston to Asheville, North Carolina. Unsurprisingly, it punches above its weight in luxury and performance. But somewhat surprisingly, the differences between it and its three-row counterpart, the CX-90, cause one to question the need for an entirely new name.  The good news is that once you accept the subtlety of the distinction between the CX-70 and its forebear, it is a fantastic two-row SUV with an interior that holds its…

Like motorsports, car companies must also be on top of their game to retain pole position. Unfortunately, even legends can fade into obscurity due to uncontrollable factors. Lotus deserves a hit, and Theory 1 might spark the hype it wants. The British marque was once a significant player in the sports car scene. The vehicles that used to roll out of their factory in Hethel, Norfolk, were considered some of the most highly…
