Remember when compact cars were called "economy cars"? Small, cheap and efficient was the name of the game, and in that market the VW Jetta made a splash by being better to drive and using nicer materials than its competition. The economy car market has become significantly more sophisticated in the intervening decades, to the point where the outgoing generation of Jetta has simply found itself outclassed both in the areas that were once its defining strengths and in terms of the technology on offer. The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta is almost completely new, and it's bet [...]
Ford released details today on its completely redesigned 2020 Focus. The all-new Focus launches in China and Europe later this year before heading to the United States in 2019. According to Ford, this is the global launch of the new Focus, so some details may change before it reaches North American shores. Here's what we know so far: The new Focus is sleeker, more stylish and more sophisticated. At a glance, it simply looks more grown-up. Available in three distinct body styles — four-door sedan, hatchback and wagon — Ford says it offers an all-ne [...]
Dedicated Forester owners, of which there are many, would be to happy to see Subaru leave the crossover just as it is. But Subaru has taken steps to push the fifth-generation 2019 Subaru Forester even further into the mainstream. Let's start with what there's more of, and that's space. Built on the new Subaru Global Platform, the Forester's wheelbase grows 1.2 inches to 105.1 inches overall. Headroom, hiproom and shoulder room have all increased as well, but most notable is the expanded rear passenger legroom, now stretched 1.4 [...]
Volkswagen revealed its Atlas Tanoak pickup concept at the 2018 New York Auto Show, but before we go any further, let's clarify a couple of things. The first: A Tanoak is an evergreen tree native to the Western United States that can grow up to 130 feet tall. The second is that, while Volkswagen has no plans to put the Atlas Tanoak into production at this time, it has provided us a rather detailed description of dimensions and powertrain that makes us think this is more than simply a wild-eyed concept. The Atlas Tanoak is based on Volkswagen's MQB pla [...]
Kia reveals the 2019 Kia K900, a large sedan packed to the gills with luxury and technology features, at the 2018 New York Auto Show. You may remember the old Kia K900, which was a bit of a swing and a miss for Kia. It was built on the original Hyundai Equus platform and lacked refinement in both interior quality and driving dynamics. Considering how much Kia's recent products have improved — and how much we like the new K900's closest relative, the Genesis G90 — we have high hopes that this new K900 will be a luxury alternative worth consideri [...]
Value is a tenet to five-seat compact SUV shoppers, and one that automakers are eager to satisfy. Debuting at the 2018 New York Auto Show, the 2019 Hyundai Tucson seeks to expand on that trait by offering new standard safety and entertainment features, such as forward collision mitigation and improved phone integration. The updated 2019 Tucson comes standard with two active safety features that were previously available only on higher trim levels. The forward collision warning system looks ahead for vehicles and pedestrians, and it alerts the driver if an impact is [...]
Hyundai unveiled the U.S.-spec version of the 2019 Kona EV at the 2018 New York Auto Show today. Based on the standard Kona that just went on sale, the subcompact crossover SUV will challenge EVs such as the Chevrolet Bolt, the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model 3. The EPA estimates the Hyundai Kona EV will achieve 250 miles of range on a full charge and produce 201 horsepower and 291 pound-feet of torque. Power will be stored in a 64-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that will be able to charge to 80 percent in only 54 minutes if plugged into a Level 3 charger (100-kW DC f [...]
At this week's 2018 New York Auto Show, Acura debuts its all-new 2019 RDX with fresh styling, new technology, a new powertrain and available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). At the core of the 2019 Acura RDX is a new body and chassis architecture, with more than 50 percent of the body structure composed of high-strength steel. The wheelbase has grown by 2.6 inches, increasing passenger room as well as cargo room behind the rear seats — up 3.4 cubic feet from last year's model — with more underfloor trunk storage. Powering the 201 [...]
