Land Rover is well-known for making some of the world's most capable go-anywhere luxury SUVs. That includes the Range Rover Sport, updated at the 2013 New York Auto Show will an all-new design and some new powertrain elements. Now weighing 800 pounds less than its previous version, the 2014 Range Rover Sport offers quicker acceleration, a new supercharged V-6 base engine, and a fresher design that still retains the classic Land Rover and Range Rover hallmarks. The new V-6 base engine is rated at 340 horsepower. That's 35 short of the 375-horsepower normally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8 in the...

2014 Bentley Flying Spur Video Preview: New York Auto ShowIt's still quite continental, but the 2014 Bentley Flying Spur is missing that tag from its name. To find out why, we stopped by the Bentley stand at the 2013 New York Auto Show, and talked to Paul Jones, who knows precisely why--since he's the one in charge of the new ultra-luxury sedan. The...

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG Video Preview: New York Auto ShowWith a pricetag of $48,375, total output of 355 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, and a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds, the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG is, how you say, interesting. It's safe to assume no car this year has occupied so many pixels of conversation among our staff Skypers--and will...

2014 Ford Fiesta ST first drive reviewThe idea of packing a very powerful engine into a very small car—especially a car originally designed with frugality in mind—isn’t by any means a new formula. It’s been done over and over again, over decades, to spice up lineups and add bragging rights. And while some...

In the old days, SUVs were crude, truck-derived vehicles, purchased by those with a need to go where the busses don’t run, or a need to get from point A to point B regardless of weather. Families bought station wagons, or later, minivans. Then the SUV and crossover craze hit, and suddenly off-road vehicles became more civilized (often losing some of their off-road prowess in the transition). Today, SUVs and crossovers are the hottest segments of the auto industry (in the U.S., anyway), and buyers are demanding more and more amenities with each passing year. It’s no longer enough...

2014 Jeep Cherokee Live Photos: 2013 New York Auto ShowOne of the most anticipated introductions of the 2013 New York Auto Show wasn't a sports car, a convertible, or a high-priced luxury vehicle. It was the return of a familiar model name: the Jeep Cherokee. And here we have some of the first pictures of this new utility vehicle, live from the floor...

2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid Bows In New YorkIf the 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid looks familiar from the outside, it should; after all, it’s been on the market as the Infiniti JX35, sans the hybrid drivetrain, since last year. Remember when Infiniti went through its alphabet soup naming exercise? The JX35 is now the QX60. What’s new...

2014 Hyundai Equus: Upping The Ante Against The Luxury EstablishmentWhen Hyundai first revealed its Equus several years ago, adding a model to compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Lexus LS, or Jaguar XJ, among others, seemed downright outlandish. But what was seen as far-fetched then is now seeming quite smart. Now for 2014, as previewed at the 2013...

Kia Bares Its (2014) Soul In New York, Complete With Live PhotosThough Kia has, on occasion, missed the mark with vehicles in the United States (such as its Borrego SUV), there’s no denying that its Soul “urban passenger vehicle” is a solid hit that seems to defy demographics. Though pitched at Millennial buyers, we’ve seen plenty of...

Bentley didn’t muck around with the redesign of its Flying Spur, which for the latest generation stands alone rather than being just the four-door member of the Continental range. On the outside, the changes are more evolutionary than revolutionary, consisting of a revised greenhouse that features a completely new C-pillar and sits atop a more pronounced beltline. In addition, designers have added a new fender vent which also integrates the indicator lamp with a new side strake, while at the rear of the car there are new tail-lamps. We first saw the new Flying Spur at the 2013 Geneva...

2014 BMW 328d Live Photos: Diesel Torque + 3-Series = ???Great mileage and lots of torque: what's to argue with? That's at least the superficial theory behind the 2014 BMW 328d, the latest addition to the 3-Series lineup and to BMW's U.S. diesel fleet. Shown today at the New York Auto Show it looks…like any other 3-Series, for the most part...

2014 Chevrolet Camaro Sees The Return Of The Z/28: VideoFor the Camaro faithful, nothing says “affordable performance” quite like the alphanumerical combination of one letter and two numbers: Z/28. Originally an option code for cars built to compete in the SCCA Trans-Am series, the name stuck and has been associated with fast Camaros since...

Land Rover launched its redesigned 2014 Range Rover Sport today at the 2013 New York Auto Show, and to introduce the vehicle the British automaker brought another Brit, James Bond actor Daniel Craig.

Incidentally, Craig said he was attracted to working with Land Rover not only because of his love for the iconic British brand and its vehicles, but also because they both share...
