2028 Volvo XC90 First Look: Going the Distance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A much bigger battery allows the plug-in hybrid model to go more than twice as far as it used to on electric power alone. Hard to tell by looking at it, but Volvo’s co-flagship (alongside the new EX90 EV) has been on the market for eight years now, and a minor update for the 2027 model year (plus context clues from the mechanically related 2028 Volvo XC60) tell us it’ll be sticking around for another year or two. While the 2028 Volvo XC90 may not look any different, the T8 PHEV model packs a maj
First Look: Volkswagen’s Mission Efficiency Concept Is the Most Efficient EV Yet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The “near-production” concept uses off-the-shelf parts and a familiar body shape to cheat the wind. Earlier this century, Volkswagen was known as an engineering powerhouse, building everything from the world’s fastest production car to the most efficient. After a turbulent decade, the company is looking to regain its engineering mojo by one-upping itself with the world’s most efficient car, the Volkswagen Mission Efficiency concept.

Our yearlong review 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ’s enormous battery means your comfort number gets completely reset. We’ve had several long-term test EVs over
Tested: The Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster Is a Hardcore Off-Road Truck for G-Wagen Drivers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Unstoppable off-road and acceptable on it, the Quartermaster is as specialized and expensive as it is charming. The 2026 Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster Fieldmaster—yes, that is its full, official name—defies all logic. It’s unstoppable off-road but priced so high that next to no one will leave the pavement with it. It drives better than ever but still not all that well. It’s made of better materials but still feels inexpensive, even though it isn’t. It tows and hauls, but nowhere near as much as
The Defender Dakar Concept Previews a Production-Ready, Street-Legal Rally Racer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Based on the Dakar Rally–winning D7X-R, the limited edition Defender Dakar is coming next year. Eight months ago, MotorTrend brought you exclusive news that Land Rover’s Defender subbrand was exploring ways to build a street-legal production version of its Defender D7X-R Dakar rally car. Now, the company has revealed the Defender Dakar Design Preview, a nearly finished concept car which previews a production model coming next year. As initially described to us back in January, the production Def
