It finally happened. After years of dominating J.D. Power’s owner satisfaction surveys, Tesla’s portfolio has been dethroned by electric vehicles made by so-called traditional automakers. Tesla’s decline in the U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, now in its 29th year, has been long in the making,...

The first Jaguars were produced in 1935 in England and, since then, the auto brand has made a name for itself among luxury buyers.

Those taking delivery of the recently refreshed 2025 Rivian R1T and R1S may be disappointed to learn that their interactions with their new electric vehicles are about to get a little less physical, thanks to the discontinuation of the standard key fob. According to posts on Reddit and Rivian forums, buyers are being provided with card keys and assistance in setting up their smartphones as keys, but no physical key fobs were included.

W8 engine cars never caught on. In fact, "cars" isn't the right word because only one ever reached mass production. The Volkswagen Passat W8 is a truly one-of-a-kind car, as no other production vehicle has ever packed eight cylinders in a W formation. The reason why VW made it is even more interesting and relates to the most successful 12-cylinder in history, which was recently killed off. Here's what you need to know about one of Volkswagen's weirdest models.

Many car companies in the United States have been scaling back on their diesel engine offerings over the last few years. This includes the ceasing of production of the EcoDiesel engines that had been used in various Jeep and Ram truck models. As electric vehicles become more of a priority, the market for diesel fuel becomes less prominent — and it was already a niche market to begin with. However, diesel is not completely dead in America, and the Duramax engines from General Motors that have remained in production since 2001 are proof of that. Prior to GM introducing Duramax, its V8 diesel engines were instead produced by the Detroit Diesel Corporation for 20 years.

Kia phased out the Cadenza from the United States in 2021, but later that year, a replacement was launched in South Korea. In its domestic market, the big sedan had been known as the K7, but for the latest generation, it switched to the K8 moniker. Now, there's a mid-cycle update. In typical Kia fashion, the changes are significant, even though this is technically just a facelift.
