Read excerpt
The Renault Niagara has been revealed in Argentina, but this new ute, which has been "designed in Latin America for Latin America" seems unlikely to be built in right-hand drive. The Niagara effectively serves as a replacement the long-lived Oroch, a 4.7m-long ute launched in 2015 that was based on the first-generation Duster.

Read excerpt
The second-generation Dacia Spring has been revealed with a much brawnier and modern design, both inside and out.

Read excerpt
Like almost every automaker, Mercedes-Benz has embraced ever-larger screens and an ever-reducing roster of physical buttons, but its CEO is now willing to admit it might have gone a little too far. In an interview with Autocar, Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius was asked about criticism regarding more and more vehicle controls being moved from physical buttons, dials and switches to the touchscreen. The CEO said the company spends "countless hours" on user interface development, and quipped that h
