Stellantis has just announced a major recall affecting over 419,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees. The culprit? A critical, hidden software glitch that could stop your side airbags from deploying when you need them most. If you recently purchased one of these highly sought-after SUVs, your vehicle is highly likely to be on the NHTSA’s hit list. Stellantis Which Jeep Models Are Affected? T

Honda has recalled almost 100,000 vehicles in the United States due to airbags that could deploy unintentionally, which could lead to an injury in the event of a crash. Modern airbags are designed to deploy only in certain situations, based on the size of the person in the front seat, so unintentional deployment could do more harm than good. Several Honda and Acura models are affected by this issue, which has already led to over 200 warranty claims. Here’s everything you need to know.  What’s Wr

Surprise, surprise! General Motors has just unveiled two new GMCHummer X concepts—a pickup and an SUV—that retain all-electric propulsion but gain a completely new design inside and out and get relegated from full-size to mid-size trucks. Before you get too excited about the Hummer X, GM says it’s “not intended for production.” It was created to mark the official opening of its new advanced design studio in Pasadena, California, which focuses on conceptual design studies that look beyond current

Fighting Chance When it comes to the mid-size truck segment, the Toyota Tacoma is king. However, given the importance of pickups to automakers in the U.S., established home brands aren't taking things lying down. Chevrolet is trying to claw back more market share, starting with a refresh. The Chevy Colorado has been a solid choice in the mid-size segment, but given the model's age, a refresh is due to stay competitive. It seems we won't have to wait long, as the production date of the new Colora

AC Cars has officially unveiled the production AC Cobra GT Coupe, which represents a new era for Britain's oldest active vehicle manufacturer. As the automaker marks its 125th anniversary, the new GT is the perfect way to crown the celebrations. It has an even more aggressive stance than the GT Roadster and backs it up with potent performance, especially in supercharged form. After the maker of the iconic Shelby Cobra was recently revived in the United States, this first physical unveiling of th

A Suspension Issue You Really Don’t Want to Discover Mid-Drive Most of us never give suspension parts a second thought – until something fails. Control arms, bushings, toe links: they do their job in the background, keeping your vehicle stable and predictable. But if a rear suspension part lets go while you’re moving at speed, the outcome is rarely good. That’s exactly what seems to have happened with two Rivian R1S electric SUVs, which is now prompting a federal investigation in the US. The Nat

It won’t be long before BMW starts phasing out the current generation of the 3 Series, 4 Series Gran Coupe, and i4 Gran Coupe. These models will be replaced with Neue Klasse models, with the i3 having already been revealed. As usual, though, BMW is expected to release a few special editions of these models before they bow out. That’s where the new Black Package comes in, an option on M Performance models—the M340i, M340i Touring, M440i GC, and i4 M60 GC. The package will give these sporty models

Bugatti has just unveiled the antidote to the barrage of weird EVs we’ve been confronted with in recent weeks. This is the Bugatti W16 Mistral ‘Le Retour du Jeune Prince’ (The Return of the Young Prince), and not only is it stunning to look at, but this one-of-one roadster is blessed with the iconic W16 engine. A product of the brand’s Sur Mesure program, this decadent roadster features striking lunar themes, which were inspired by the customer’s very own literary work. Based on the way the car

Hanging in There It's been a while since there was any news about Mitsubishi, but the official announcement of the Pajero and Montero names was a great way to remind people the company is still around. While it's doing well in Southeast Asia and Oceania, it's been largely quiet in the West. Currently, the U.S lineup consists of the Outlander in both gas and plug-in hybrid forms, Eclipse Cross, and the Outlander Sport. Of the three models mentioned, two came out before 2020, giving you an idea of

The Bold Lexus Concept That Almost Happened When Lexus showed the LF-ZC concept at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show, it felt like a peek into the future. It looks way different from the current Lexus RZ and Toyota bZ, and frankly, a little wilder than expected from the marque. However, unlike most concepts, the LF-ZC was intended for production, with early plans for a possible launch this year. Then again, that supposed production timeline had already slipped, with reports stating that the launch th

The U.S. auto market has lost some one million prospective buyers in only six years, going from around 17 million new cars and trucks sold per year before 2020 to about 16 million or fewer projected for 2026. So how was it even possible to lose one million new car buyers in only half a decade? The Wall Street Journal looked at this phenomenon in a new report and the conclusions are quite depressing for car buyers. Until recently, the general consensus used to be that U.S. new-car sales were on t

Stop-Stop System Start-stop features are a staple in most modern cars, and while annoying, they can save you a few dollars on every drive by turning the engine off and then back on at a temporary stop. However, Ford Maverick and Bronco owners got the short end of the stick when a recent recall was issued over the potential loss of power when the stop-start system fails to hold up its end of the bargain. Up to 456,000 Maverick and Bronco Sport SUVs have been recalled by Ford due to a failure of

When Rivian launched the Gen 2 R1T and R1S in 2024, they redesigned the interior lineup and quietly retired Forest Edge, the earthy green upholstery and brown ash wood combination that had been available since 2022. What followed was the automotive equivalent of canceling a beloved TV show and then watching the fanbase organize. Forum threads titled "Forest Edge coming back?" accumulated hundreds of replies. Owners of original Forest Edge vehicles posted interior photos like they were showing of

IIHS and Consumer Reports released their annual list of recommended new and used vehicles for teen drivers this week, and Mazda tied with Hyundai for the most models on the list, with six each. That alone would be noteworthy. What makes it remarkable is the company it beat. Honda, the brand parents have been defaulting to since the Clinton administration, placed three models. Toyota, the brand that has built an entire identity around safety and reliability, also placed three. Combined, the two m

Finally Official We've seen the trademark filings, as well as the speculative stories. Now, we can finally say that Mitsubishi is bringing back one of its esteemed names. The company recently released a teaser for its upcoming flagship SUV, and it bears the name Pajero. It pretty much confirms what's been on everyone's minds ever since the spy shots came out. But here's the interesting part. Aside from Pajero, the name Montero also appears in Mitsubishi's official teaser. This hints at the SUV b

Xiaomi’s Breakneck Speed Breaks The Bank Xiaomi, a brand more commonly known for building affordable yet feature-packed phones and gadgets, has its own car, in case you missed it. It has proved to be quite popular; it recently sold more than 15,000 units in just about half an hour for the second generation of their car. On the surface, the consumer electronics giant-turned-automaker is flying high. However, beneath the viral delivery milestones and packed showrooms, the company's financial state

BMW calls the new 7 Series the most extensive model update the company has ever carried out, and for once, the corporate superlative is justified. This is the first luxury sedan to receive technologies from BMW's Neue Klasse platform, which means the seventh-generation 7 Series is carrying hardware and software originally developed for BMW's next-generation electric vehicles and deploying it across gas, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric variants built on a single production line at Plant Dingol

Weird Affinity Each automotive market is different, and population preferences vary depending on local road conditions and needs. This breeds different affinities and likes, which to outsiders can be interesting or funny. In China, a market that thrives on its own, Buick is a strong brand. Despite being American and not as popular on home soil, the Chinese market views Buickas a premium luxury brand, something to aspire to, and that has kept it selling over there. This is why China gets exclusiv

Excess as a Business Model California-based company Rezvani has spent years taking familiar SUVs and trucks and reworking them into something that feels halfway between a luxury off-roader, military transport, and a movie prop. Its formula? Start with an already capable platform, then pile on aggressive styling, oversized hardware, tactical accessories, and just enough drama to make even a factory performance truck look tame. Rezvani’s latest project sticks to that formula. Called the Fortress,

The Service Bay Bottleneck Hyundai has enjoyed explosive sales growth over the past decade. The automaker proudly watched its annual sales surpass the massive 900,000-vehicle mark in 2025. Dealership lots are packed with eager buyers looking for a fresh fleet of compelling SUVs, electric vehicles, and hybrids. However, this massive influx of new vehicles on the road created a severe bottleneck in the dealership service department. Customers now face incredibly long wait times for basic repairs a

For fifty years, the 3 Series has been the car that defined BMW. Not the 7 Series. Not the M cars. The 3 Series. It is the volume seller, the brand ambassador, the sedan that taught two generations of drivers what "the ultimate driving machine" actually meant when you turned into a corner at speed. Every competitor in the compact luxury segment has been benchmarked against it since 1975. Now BMW has taken that nameplate, the most important four characters in its entire lineup, and built the firs

Rivals Taking Notice Hyundai’s fake gear shifts – now in the Ioniq 5 N, 6 N, and the posher Genesis GV60 Magma – have landed better than most expected. The system, which recreates the feeling of shifting gears, with artificial rev limits, brief power pauses, and paddle-controlled upshifts, sounds gimmicky on paper. But after getting a taste of it, the tech actually makes fast EVs more fun and engaging. As expected, other brands are taking notes. BMW says its next electric M3 will get its own ver

The Ferrari Luce Is Under Fire, And The Designers Know It The debate around the Ferrari Luce started before anyone saw the car in person. As Ferrari’s first fully electric model, it drew criticism just for existing. Now that it’s out, most of the attention has turned to its design. A five-seat Ferrari with a tall roof and proportions far from the 488, F8, or even the Purosangue has split opinions among journalists, fans, and investors. Social media has not held back, and even former Ferrari chai

Over the past five years, Rivian has gone from a promising EV startup to a household name in the EV space, one that has successfully carved a path for itself as the leading manufacturer of electric adventure vehicles (even though it is obviously more than that). But did you know that the Rivian name may have never happened had it not been for Hyundai? It’s one of those random automotive naming stories, like Porsche having to rename its 901 sports car to 911 after Peugeot objected, or Tesla havin

Blessing in Disguise What if Lamborghini didn't cancel its plans for an EV? We'll never know the real answer to that, but the company's CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, recently told CNBCit was the right call. That's following the reactions towards the newly unveiled Ferrari Luce, and let's just say the internet hasn't been too kind to Maranello's first EV. Winkelmann once said that demand for an EV in the space Lamborghini occupies is 'close to zero,' the same space it shares with Ferrari. It's the rea

Ready for Orders It's been about a week since Mercedes wheeled out the second-generation AMG GT 4-Door. As many comments have been made about its styling, it's safe to say that the, er, unconventionally styledFerrari Luce has taken heat off the AMG. Still, Sindelfingen needs to draw attention to its latest EV super-sport sedan, which is why pricing in Germany has been announced. Now ready for orders, the 2027 AMG GT 4-Door carries a base price of, wait for it, €154,700, knocking on the door of $

Volvo Cars announced on May 26 it was granted a specific authorization from the U.S. government allowing it to continue selling connected vehicles in the country. The Swedish automaker, which is majority owned by China’s Geely Holding, was required to follow a process with the U.S. Department of Commerce to obtain a specific authorization for the continued import and sale of connected cars in the country under the ICTS Connected Vehicles Rule. The rule heavily targets two main technologies—Vehic
