2025 Audi Q6 e-tron

1 day ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

The Q6 e-tron is not Audi’s first EV; they’ve been in the game since the original e-tron arrived for 2019. But it is the first one to arrive on an all-new premium platform electric architecture. So, time for us to get to work and find out if it’s a foundation that Audi can truly build on. It’s an interesting time in the auto biz, that’s for sure, as no one is really certain what the future holds for internal combustion engines or even EVs at this point.
2025 VinFast VF8

1 day ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

The EV market is a hot zone for startups, Vietnamese maker VinFast being one of the most recent. Deliveries to their slow-growing dealership network are taking place, including one Maryland locale where we were able to sample the 2025 VF8. This two-row SUV is currently offered alongside the three-row VF9, with the smaller VF6 and VF7 on the way. They all sport a unique look; this VF8’s Italian flare was instilled with design help from Pininfarina, accentuated by its “Deep Ocean” paint.
Porsche 963 RSP is a One-Off Le Mans Tribute

1 day ago | motorweek.org | Alex Kellum

Earlier this year, we predicted a road-ready version of Porsche’s 963 endurance car was on the way following a press release detailing the history of the one-off, street-legal 917. As it turns out, we were right. The Porsche 963 RSP is another racer turned one-off, with just a single example of this IMSA and WEC championship winner being made. Fittingly, this new model was spotted on the streets near the Circuit de la Sarthe, rolling in tandem with the 917 which inspired it.
Volvo Intros Adaptive, Data-Driven Seat Belt

2 days ago | motorweek.org | Alex Kellum

It figures the brand responsible for the car seatbelt as we know it would be interested in further improving upon its design, especially given their propensity for automotive safety. Volvo has debuted a new “multi-adaptive safety belt,” set to launch in the all-electric 2026 EX60. images: Array( [0] => Array ( [image] => 22702 ) [1] => Array ( [image] => 22701 ))This new design uses the vehicle’s interior and exterior sensors to better equip the belt for a crash.
2026 Ram 1500 Sees the Return of the HEMI V8

2 days ago | motorweek.org | Alex Kellum

Axing the Ram 1500’s HEMI V8 was, by Ram’s own admission, a little bit of a goof. That’s not because the replacement, the twin-turbocharged Hurricane inline-six offered in both standard- and high-output variants, isn’t particularly good; in fact, the I6 is, also by Ram’s belief, a solid choice for doing truck things, and we’d have to agree based on our recent experiences. That doesn’t mean the V8 is bad either, though, and now you can see the complicated dynamic created by this powertrain shift.

Hyundai's New EV Flagship

3 days ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

Hyundai is adding their flagship to the IONIQ lineup with the all new 3 row electric SUV, the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ9, So we joined them down in Savannah Georgia to take a first drive. The styling really speaks to me as a child of the 80’s, as Hyundai continues to pay respect to the pixel in their design philosophy. It looks futuristic as can be and I dig it. Active air flaps up front are well integrated as well as a host of advanced driver assistance systems.
Chevrolet Silverado EV Gets Promoted to Trail Boss Status

1 week ago | motorweek.org | Alex Kellum

Comparing trim offerings to its internal combustion counterpart, the Chevrolet Silverado EV has some catching up to do. Since its introduction, the all-electric pickup truck has only been available in WT, LT and RST configurations, in contrast to the gas-powered Silverado’s nine. It seems Chevrolet took note of this disparity and is taking the initiative to expand its lineup, starting with the off-road-focused 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss.
Baby Bronco Ups the Ante with Sasquatch Package

1 week ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

While not as adventurous as its big brother, the Edge-based Ford Bronco Sport is far from barn sour. A 2025 refresh ups the ante with a new Sasquatch package we took to some of California’s dustiest trails. Sasquatch is available on the Badlands trim, still packing the 250-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo-four, and the Outer Banks, using the smaller 180-horsepower 1.5-liter turbo-three. Ubiquitous is an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel-drive.

In 2004, Nissan deployed the Armada as a Titan-based full-size extension of the Pathfinder family. Well, it quickly dropped Pathfinder from its name, and by the time the second generation rolled around, switched allegiances to the global Patrol SUV platform.
