We've seen the Chevrolet Bolt for awhile now. It debuted as a concept car at last year's Detroit Auto Show, and we've spied development cars running on the streets. Today, Chevrolet revealed the production version of the 2017 Bolt EV at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The most important information that Chevrolet shared today is that the 2017 Bolt EV will have a range of more than 200 miles on a full charge, and its price will come in below $30,000 when all government tax credits have been factored in. Those factors should help the electric car in general and the Bolt in...

2017 Infiniti QX30 first drive reviewThe very design of the 2017 Infiniti QX30 makes it clear that Nissan’s luxury marque—created for the United States market 25 years ago—wants to be an international player.

Infiniti Changes Name Of Q30 To QX30In what seems to be an effort to confuse customers, Infiniti is changing the name of its Q30 hatchback before it even hits the market.

Nimble, agile, and even tossable aren’t words that you’ll often find in driving impressions of a big three-row utility vehicle. Yet they most definitely apply to the 2017 Audi Q7. The new Q7 manages to provide a driving experience that, on tight, curvy roads, feels like that of a tidy mid-sizer. You might actually forget you’re in a tall utility vehicle that’s around 200 inches long—the length of a full-size sedan. ALSO SEE: 2017 Lincoln Continental Spy Shots The 2017 Q7 is essentially the same size as its predecessor, yet it has a new aluminum-intensive body...

After numerous leaks, we finally have our first official look at Volvo’s all-new S90 sedan. The luxurious mid-sizer, which makes its world debut next month at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show, is the second model in Volvo’s brand renaissance and, like the XC90 that precedes it, is based on the modular SPA platform.

Spain is a country of contrasts: exclusive estates tower over luxury resorts at the Mediterranean coast, while just a few miles inland, crumbling villages scrape by in picturesque poverty. So, too, the Bentley Bentayga. Not in its economics, of course, but in its character. As Bentley’s first SUV—which Bentley claims to be the world’s first hyper-luxury SUV—the Bentayga is undeniably a refined, elegant machine, one with an available $170,000 Mulliner Tourbillon timepiece. It’s luxurious in a way that few cars except Bentleys are: luxurious in time and resources...
