The Base Equinox EV Is Excellent, But You'll Want These Options

4 days ago | carbuzz.com | Joel Stocksdale

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV is one of the most affordable EVs on the market - not only is the price tag attractive, but it offers tremendous value. The base model offers more than 300 miles of range; it has standard DC fast charging; the interior is enormous - and it's comfortable and refined to drive. It does all that for a base price of $33,600, or $34,995 with the $1,395 destination charge included.
This RX-7 Is One Rad Retro Show Car

5 days ago | carbuzz.com | Joel Stocksdale

If you've been looking for some sweet custom Mazda RX-7s, now seems to be a good time to find them. We ran across a monstrously powerful example with a classic body kit just a few days ago. Now we've found another example. This one doesn't seem to be nearly as powerful, but it's just as striking, if not more so. It's also a great tribute to Mazda's history.
Polestar Makes Old EVs Less Scary To Buy

Although mass-market EVs are still relatively new to the market, they've been around for more than a decade now. The first Tesla Model S models launched for the 2012 model year, and the Chevy Bolt EV came out for 2017. That means that EVs with plenty of miles and many charging cycles are out in the used car market, and we're finally seeing what happens to the most expensive components, the batteries, after living long lives.
VW Reportedly Working On ID.3 GTI, And It Could Be Strange

6 days ago | carbuzz.com | Joel Stocksdale

We've been expecting the first true electric GTI model from Volkswagen to be a version of the upcoming ID.2. It's also the only model that VW has indicated to be getting any kind of GTI treatment. According to a report from Germany auto news outlet Auto Motor und Sport, VW has decided to also develop a GTI version of the ID.3. The outlet cites an anonymous source connected to the automaker, and some of the other information about the possible sporty EV would make it a mighty strange GTI.
Triple-Rotor Mazda RX-7 Has 911 Looks And Way More Power

Facebook Marketplace can be daunting to dig through. But dig far enough, and you can find some remarkable gems. What we have here is some solid gold. Yes, we just did some wordplay involving this car's paint color. So did the seller, since the license plate says "GLD DGGR." The paint isn't the interesting part, though. This custom Mazda RX-7 features a wild body kit with some clear Porsche influence, plus an even more wild engine under the hood. Let's take a look.
It Turns Out, Land Rover Styling Doesn't Work Great On A Jeep

6 days ago | carbuzz.com | Joel Stocksdale

The Jeep Wrangler is surely one of the most customized vehicles on the planet. The world of parts for changing the appearance and performance of them is seemingly never-ending. It also got a little bigger with the introduction of new accessories from British SUV customizer Chelsea Truck Company. The company launched a new "Heritage Lattice Grille" and "British Heritage Wheels" for the Wrangler. The idea seems to be to bring a bit of Land Rover Defender styling to the American icon.
If You Can't Afford A Whole Ferrari, You Might At Least Get The Best Part Of One

1 week ago | carbuzz.com | Joel Stocksdale

Ferraris are really expensive. Some of them are even becoming more expensive this year. As such, few, if any, of us at CarBuzz could afford one, and we wouldn't be surprised if that applied to many of our readers. Something that might be more manageable, though, would just be a piece of a Ferrari. That brings us to this unusual coffee table that will be auctioned by RM Sotheby's. It's not cheap either, but it's definitely more attainable than a whole Ferrari, and it's one of the best bits of one.
McLaren Shows Why Its Supercars Are Brilliant To Drive

1 week ago | carbuzz.com | Joel Stocksdale

Despite having only built road cars since the 1990s, McLaren is unquestionably one of the leading names in modern supercars. It intends to hold onto that reputation with its upcoming, 1,258-horsepower W1, while also staying afloat with new ownership, and exploring the possibility of a new SUV. Although it's going through some wild things on the business side, the company continues to test and develop its cars, and it's putting out a new web series to let people see how it does so.
County Corvette Built A Mighty Magnificent Maroon Corvette, And It Could Be Yours

1 week ago | carbuzz.com | Joel Stocksdale

Having been on sale for more than seven decades, and quite popular over most of those, there are a remarkable number of Corvettes on the road. With so many, it can be hard to stand out, but this restomod example from County Corvette does. It doesn't necessarily break new ground in the restomod space, but it's a classic and tasteful assemblage of colors, materials, and upgraded parts.
The Swiss Army Knife Of Cars With Swiss Watch Style

1 week ago | carbuzz.com | Joel Stocksdale

The BMW i4 is entering its fourth year on the market, and the new brings a few minor changes. Most noticeable are some changes to the exterior and interior, followed by slightly higher prices and reduced ranges. None of that sounds particularly great as electric car competition continues to improve. We spent a week in an i4 M50 to get a little taste of the updates and to see if the i4 is still a strong option, particularly as a fast EV.
