Why Nissan Thinks Tariffs Are a Golden Opportunity

1 week ago | motor1.com | Chris Perkins

Back in the dark days of the 2008 financial crisis, Rahm Emmanuel, then an advisor to Barack Obama, famously said "[n]ever allow a good crisis go to waste." Tariffs are a crisis for automakers, but one in which Nissan sees an upside. "We have an opportunity, I think, with this tariff thing," says Vinay Shahani, Nissan USA's head of sales and marketing, in an interview with Motor1 at the New York Auto Show.
Mini Abandons Plan to Go Electric by 2030

1 week ago | motor1.com | Adrian Padeanu

It feels like I’ve written this headline a dozen times, but with the names of other automakers instead. One by one, lofty EV goals are toppling like dominoes. We’ve seen brands get swept up in the zero-emissions hype, boldly declaring deadlines to phase out combustion engines, only to quietly walk things back a few years later. Case in point: Mini. In 2021, the BMW-owned brand announced it would go fully electric by the decade's end. Yeah... that's not happening anymore.
2026 Volvo S90: This Is It

1 week ago | motor1.com | Adrian Padeanu

Aging like fine wine, the Volvo S90 is getting a nip and tuck nearly a decade after its debut. While the brand now offers a fully electric ES90, its largest gasoline-powered sedan is sticking around for the time being. Despite a sales dip of 18.4 percent to 40,210 units in 2024, the numbers are still strong enough to warrant the investment in a second facelift. That suggests Volvo intends to keep the S90 alive for at least a few more years.
The Lexus LS Is Not Dying

Lexus dropped a teaser yesterday for the next-generation ES, confusingly calling the luxury sedan a “global flagship model.” That got us wondering: What does this mean for the LS? Is Lexus preparing to retire its long-running full-size sedan? We reached out to the company for clarification, and representatives from both the European and U.S. branches assured us that the LS is not going anywhere.
2026 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Has More Power Than the GTI

1 week ago | motor1.com | Brian Silvestro

The Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line finally has the power to live up to its name for 2026. The people's brand graced its crossover with a notable horsepower bump through modifications made to its existing turbo inline-four. Newly redesigned without a third row, the third-generation Tiguan is also lighter and more fuel-efficient than before.
New Audi R8

If you were holding out on your next supercar purchase for a new Audi R8, you're going to be waiting for a long time. Kjell Gruner, Volkswagen Group of America's new CEO, confirmed there are no plans to revive the legendary all-wheel drive supercar. No New R8 on the Horizon"[It's a] product portfolio discussion—what's viable in the market," Gruner told journalists when asked about a new R8 at the New York Auto Show on Wednesday.
The Kia EV9 Nightfall Edition Looks Cooler, Accelerates Quicker

1 week ago | motor1.com | Chris Perkins

Photo by: Kia Everyone loves black trim. How many cars do you see per day with aftermarket black badges? I see plenty. Kia knows, so it's adding its Nightfall Edition trim to its flagship EV9 three-row electric crossover. And unlike most appearance packages, this one actually comes with a tangible performance boost. Available on the EV9 Land trim, the Nightfall Edition gets the "Boost" mode from the EV9 GT-Line, which ups torque from 443 to 516 pound-feet temporarily.
2026 Trailseeker Is the EV Subaru Thinks Americans Want

1 week ago | motor1.com | Brian Silvestro

Subaru's second-ever electric car is here. Meet the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker, a rugged SUV with standard all-wheel drive designed to sit above the existing Solterra. The Trailseeker shares much of its design with the refreshed Solterra, with a longer and taller body. There's more cargo room, more headroom, and a flat floor for more legroom.
Mercedes G-Class Goes Retro With Plaid Seats And '80s Green Paint

1 week ago | motor1.com | Brian Silvestro

Mercedes revealed on Wednesday plans to put a retro-inspired G-Class into limited production. Dubbed the "Edition Stronger Than the 1980s," the special G-Wagen evokes styling reminiscent of the original SUV from the Eighties, with vintage colors, black trim, different lighting, and unique badging. Limited to just 460 units worldwide, the Edition Stronger Than the 1980s borrows much of its design from the retro-inspired G-Class built in 2023 to celebrate 500,000 units built.
Genesis Must Build This Luxury Off-Roader

The concept debuts this week at the New York Auto Show, making us wonder whether Hyundai’s luxury division is coming after the Rivian R1S or the electric Mercedes G-Class.
