Cadillac’s rival to the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA premium compact crossover SUVs has been spotted again. The vehicle is confirmed to be called an XT4 and is due on sale in the second half of 2018, as a 2019 model. The prototype is heavily disguised but the general shape is similar...

A prototype for the next-generation Ford Focus has been spotted again, and this time it's wearing its final skin. This suggests the reveal is coming up soon. The car represents the fourth generation of the Focus nameplate and is expected on sale next fall, as a 2019 model. And this time around Ford...

Engineers from Mercedes-AMG have been spotted testing a prototype for an updated version of the C43 sport sedan. The C43 replaced the C450 for the 2017 model year and is priced from just over $50k. It’s one of the tamer "AMG Sport" models offered by the Affalterbach tuner and like others in...

Hyundai’s new hydrogen fuel cell-powered SUV has been spotted testing for the first time. The vehicle is due on sale in early 2018, so its reveal can’t be far. This is backed by the lack of camouflage gear on the test vehicles. An appearance at next week’s 2017 Los Angeles Auto...

An electric version of the Hyundai Kona subcompact SUV is coming next year, and we’ve just spotted a prototype. We know the prototype is for an electric Kona because it’s missing exhaust tips. It also sports a high-efficiency wheel pattern, and the spot where the Kona’s grille...

When it was dropped at the end of the 2014 model year, Subaru’s Tribeca was both the oldest and least popular model in the automaker’s lineup. But given the strong demand for reasonably priced SUVs with third-row seats, it was only a matter of time until a replacement was launched. The...

Ram’s new 1500 full-size pickup is almost ready for its debut next January at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. In fact, the prototype in our most recent spy shots was almost completely devoid of camouflage gear (see below). Today, though, we have the first spy shots...

The BMW M2 is a Motor Authority favorite. The car’s powerful engine, razor-sharp handling and rear-wheel-drive layout ticks all the right boxes. Soon, though, an even better version will be thrown our way. BMW has been testing a more potent M2 for the good part of a year. Previously thought...

Mercedes-Benz is working on an update for its C-Class. The update is to freshen things as the C-Class reaches the midway point in its life cycle. Recall, the car was introduced for the 2015 model year, so in Mercedes tradition we should see the updated model introduced for the 2019 model year. A...

Jaguar is testing prototypes for a high-performance version of its F-Pace SUV. The prototypes resemble the current F-Pace S, but it’s easy to spot their new, much more aggressive front fascia design. The stock F-Pace S exhaust tips have also made way for a more aggressive quad-tip...

Earlier this week we brought you spy shots of the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Today we have the first shots of the pickup’s corporate cousin, the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500. The current Sierra was introduced in 2014 and updated in 2016. The Sierra seen here testing is more of an extensive update...

Chevrolet is already out testing prototypes for its next-generation Silverado 1500, though the new pickup will be more of an extensive update of the current model rather than a true redesign. The current Silverado 1500 was introduced for 2014, bringing with it General Motors' then-new K2XX...

A new generation of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class compact hatch is brewing and we have new spy shots that reveal the complete design. We also have a video showing a prototype on the move. We’ve already been treated with a preview of the design in the form of the A Sedan concept. Specifically, the...

The current BMW X4 was only introduced for 2015 but a redesigned model is already in the works. And judging by the lack of camouflage gear on prototypes, the debut can’t be far. The quick replacement rate is due to the X3, from which the X4 is derived, having just been redesigned itself, as a...

Like other luxury car brands, Bentley isn't immune to the political pressures of the environmental movement. With various regulations coming into effect over the next few years, the British automaker is in the process of introducing alternative powertrains in an effort to reduce its emissions. This...

Toyota engineers are out testing the next-generation Prius V (a Prius+ in other markets), and judging by our spy shots of a test mule the vehicle is set to ditch the minivan bodystyle of the current model in favor of a crossover SUV form—a smart move considering the current craze for...

Only this week we saw McLaren confirm plans for a new member for its flagship Ultimate Series range, and now we have the first spy shots of what’s likely a test mule. The test mule hides the new mechanicals within the makeshift body of a 675LT but still gives away some clues. Compared to the...

Nissan’s ever-evolving GT-R looks set to receive more updates for the 2018 model year. A GT-R, specifically the GT-R Nismo model, was recently spotted running laps at the Nürburgring. On initial inspection it appears to be a bog-standard GT-R Nismo, but if you look a little closer...

BMW has just launched a new generation of its X3 and soon there will be a hotter version cooked up by Alpina. Alpina is a semi-official BMW tuner that’s been in the business of making Bavaria’s best go faster for over 50 years. We only get to sample Alpina’s talents in two...

Ram’s popular workhorse, the 1500, is coming in for a redesign for the 2019 model year. The next generation of the full-size pickup truck, code-named the DT, will debut in early 2018 (January's Detroit auto show most likely) and bring with it a more modern face. The cross hair grille is...
