Electric vehicles are going to change the face of the luxury car market. Where brands used to lean back on their smoother engines and superior refinement, electric motors have more or less evened the playing field, reducing the difference between mainstream and luxury vehicles. Automakers will need to adapt to survive, finding new ways to make their EVs stand out in the competition.

2024 Lucid Air Pure vs. Everyone: The American Startup Making Legacy Luxury Look Silly

Porsche has been spotted testing the facelifted 992 911 Turbo S Cabriolet at the Nürburgring ahead of its reveal later this year or early in 2025. The test mule is wearing only mild camouflage, but Porsche has realized that an all-black color scheme is just as effective at hiding updates. Also highly effective is simply fitting the prototype with bumpers that are far from the finished product, as evidenced by the rivets around the lower front intake shrouds. There's some camouflage over the headlights, but we already know how the updated graphics will look thanks to the recently facelifted 992.2 Carrera.

The Lucid Air lineup has just been updated for 2025, and the news is good. Updates have made their way to each model in the regular lineup (Air Pure, Air Touring, and Air Grand Touring), excluding the high-performance Air Sapphire, and each variant is now both safer and more advanced. The major headline is that the entry-level rear-wheel-drive Air Pure has received an EPA-certified rating of 146 MPGe, translating to a record 5 miles per kWh of energy from its 84 kWh battery pack. Better still, the cheapest Lucid Air retains its 2024 pricing with a sub-$70k base MSRP. All pricing listed below excludes the manufacturer's $1,500 destination charge.

The Ward's AutoWorld publication has been going for over a century, and many are likely familiar with their Ward's 10 Best Engines selection, which is published once a year. To appear on the list is a credit to an engine's reliability, performance, and design. The list includes rigorous testing and evaluation by a panel of the publication's editors who consider factors such as horsepower, torque, fuel economy, and the application of new technologies. Many iconic engines have appeared multiple times on the list since its inception in 1994.

The V8 That Won More Engine Awards Than Any Other

The manual gearbox isn't the most popular transmission in the United States. Only a select few prefer a sick shift, with mainstream consumer interest having largely shifted to automatic and CVT units. On top of the convenience of the automatic or CVT, manuals aren't a cheaper option anymore. Back in the day, the manual transmission was standard kit on many cars, with the automatic options having an up-charge, but that's no longer the case. And since automatics are generally more frugal, more buyers are opting for those - and thus, also more manufacturers.

There's Only One Manual AWD Sports Sedan Left In America

Kia has announced pricing for the 2025 Sorento, and it starts at the same point as the 2024 model, despite some updates. As before, the crossover carries a base MSRP of $31,990, topping out at $47,390 for the range-topping X-Pro SX-P AWD model. Pricing for the Sorento Hybrid was already revealed earlier in the year, but to recap, the cheapest version is the Sorento Hybrid EX FWD, with a base price of $38,690. Step up to the AWD model, and you'll pay $46,890. Finally, the most expensive hybrid is the SX Prestige AWD, which costs $46,890. With that out of the way, let's take a look at what the unelectrified model costs, keeping in mind that all prices listed above and below exclude the manufacturer's destination charger of $1,375.

2025 Kia Sorento Pricing Is Worth Celebrating

When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.

The Highest Horsepower V6 Engine Available In 2024

If you think of high-performance Hondas, you may first think of the Type R. While most Type Rs are highly respected, it's not the only Honda that delivers performance-first power in a surprisingly affordable package. Rather, the Honda Si badge in its various incarnations has long been an impressive addition to Honda's lineup since its inception in 1985, a trait that continues to this day. Let's explore what makes the Honda Si such a memorable car by looking closely at its meaning, history, and evolution. Who knows, maybe you'll be convinced to try one for yourself.
