Crossovers

Here’s what we know for sure: Lexus will use the Paris Auto Show for the world premiere of a new concept car on September 27. Information and images of the concept will be released in advance, but not until September 17. With little to go on beyond that, we’re sure it isn’t a...

The Mercedes-Benz M-Class and GL-Class SUVs have always been built in a single plant located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. That’s about to change, as final assembly of Asian-market M and GL-Class vehicles will soon shift to plants in India, Thailand and Indonesia. That doesn’t mean that the...

Performance and fuel economy are generally believed to be mutually exclusive, especially when it comes to SUVs. BMW’s X5 M serves up 555 horsepower, but at the cost of 17 mpg fuel economy. Jeep’s Grand Cherokee SRT8 packs 470 horsepower, but returns just 18 mpg. The Range Rover Sport...

The 2013 BMW X1 is the company's latest addition to its sport activity vehicle range, and while it shares much with the MINI Countryman and, in some ways, the BMW 3-Series, it is also the greenest of BMW's X vehicles. Accordingly, BMW is leveraging its relative eco-friendliness (the 2.0-liter...

MINI is set to reveal the seventh addition to its ever-expanding lineup, the all-new 2013 MINI Paceman. Essentially a coupe version of the Countryman crossover, the new Paceman is expected to be revealed in full in the coming months, with some tipping a debut at the 2012 Paris Auto Show at the end...

Lincoln’s Town Car sedan, long the favorite choice of car services and limo companies across the United States, has been put to pasture. Filling its shoes is the 2013 Lincoln MKT Town Car, a crossover-ish pseudo-wagon that comes in either front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive variants...

Not to be outdone by the legions of spy photographers who’ve captured the upcoming MINI Paceman and Paceman S in testing, MINI has posted these “spy shots” on its Facebook page of the Paceman (in all-wheel-drive, apparently) undergoing on-the-road testing. The Paceman, previously...

The Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet, in the eyes of critics, is the answer to a question that absolutely no one is asking. The topless crossover is plagued by funky looks and a more-than-slightly-ambitious sticker price, which begs the question, “could a more attractive and reasonably priced...

A. Kahn Design, a customizer of cars for celebrities like Just Bieber, and an expert when it comes to the modification of Land Rovers, has unveiled its latest package for the Range Rover Evoque. Building on the previous Vesuvius package we saw earlier this year, A. Kahn Design has further refined...

In the gospel according to Audi, the traditional MPV is a “boring concept,” likely purchased out of resignation, not desire. The exception to this rule, according to Audi’s sales and marketing head, Peter Schwarzenbauer, is the Ford S-Max, which has reportedly attracted...

MINI is readying the seventh addition to its burgeoning lineup, the all-new Paceman. And just like the rest of the MINI range, the Paceman will also have its sportier S and John Cooper Works trims. Today we have spy shots of the mid-level Paceman S, which should join the regular Paceman in...

While all of us would love to climb behind the wheel of the utterly insane, 545-horsepower Nissan Juke-R, few will ever get that chance. Although Nissan has announced a limited-production build of the Godzilla-infused grocery-getter, each built-to-order copy is expected to cost in the neighborhood...

An updated 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata has just gone on sale in Japan and should be landing in the U.S. by the end of the year. The first images and details for the car have hit the Web but we’re still waiting on the U.S. announcement. Though it isn’t set for a sales debut until sometime next...

The BMW X1 is finally set to land in the U.S., with the luxury compact crossover due in showrooms this fall as a 2013 model. However, we now have the first details on the next-generation of the X1 due sometime in 2015. While the current model is based on the rear-wheel drive platform of the BMW...

Volkswagen is recalling some 13,172 model year 2012 Audi Q5 crossovers, built between June 21, 2011 and December 9, 2011. At issue is a front sunroof glass panel that may not have been manufactured to specifications, and can shatter in extremely cold temperatures. While no accidents or injuries...

The Range Rover Evoque is stylish, sporty, and surprisingly good. But for some, it may lack a little punch even at 240 horsepower. If the latest rumors hold true, that may be about to change. According to Autoblog.nl, a supercharged, 340-horsepower V-6--borrowed from the upcoming F-Type, though...

The 2013 BMW X1 is headed to the U.S. for delivery this fall, but now you can build one up to your ultimate specification on the official build page. Three model lines are available, differing in appearance and equipment much like the various lines available for the 2013 3-Series. The three lines...

The MINI Paceman Concept, first displayed at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, came off as a bit of an oddball, even compared to its four-door Countryman inspiration, but even so, something about it piqued our interest. Now we have new spy shots of the production version, likely to be called the...

Audi's new BiTDI engine, revealed earlier this year, is fierce: rated at 308 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque, it's already a likely candidate for use in the A6, A7, A8, and even the Q7. Now, it looks like it might be headed for the Q5 as well. The twin-turbo 3.0-liter diesel engine is...

Perhaps buoyed by the success of the all-out-insane Juke-R, Nissan has set about building a sportier version of its funky Juke crossover for the masses. Developed in conjunction with the automaker’s in-house tuner and motorsports partner Nismo, the new 2013 Nissan Juke Nismo has been revealed...
