The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has long occupied a singular space in the automotive world – at once a symbol of luxury and ruggedness. With its boxy silhouette, oversized grille, and unmistakable presence, the G-Wagen became an icon by sticking to what worked. Now, Mercedes-Benz is trying to change that. Enter the G580: the first all-electric version […]

For a while, simply being an electric vehicle was enough to generate sales. But as the EV market matures and becomes increasingly crowded, manufacturers are now forced to differentiate their offerings with design, performance, and value. Enter the XPeng P7 – a stylish electric sedan from Chinese automaker XPeng that combines premium aesthetics with a […]
In the 1950s, Kartell wasn’t yet known for its iconic plastic furniture, but it was already making waves in Italian design. One of its earliest, most unexpected products? A sleek, functional ski rack made for a Fiat. Decades later, the two Italian icons reunite for something a little more ambitious: the Fiat Grande Panda Kartell. […]
For 55 years, Range Rover has set the standard for luxury SUVs, with outstanding off-road capability and cutting-edge technological advancements. The iconic brand launched its first installation in Milan, Futurespective: Connected World, designed in collaboration with design studio NUOVA. Two seemingly opposite worlds collide – a 1970s showroom, complete with wood paneling, shag carpet, and a […]
Electric vehicles are often seen as sleek, high-tech machines with price tags to match. But what if you stripped away the luxury – and kept the electric? A new startup called Slate is doing exactly that, introducing a back-to-basics electric vehicle that’s not only affordable but fully customizable, starting at a potentially groundbreaking price of […]
In many parts of the world – particularly North America – larger vehicles dominate the roads. Yet, with most daily trips involving just one occupant, it’s worth questioning whether all that extra space is necessary. Enter the YKSI, a compact electric vehicle designed specifically for single-person travel. Its small footprint makes it ideal for urban […]
Toyota might have been behind in the EV revolution a little, but the company is still pushing forward with new concepts that show off its vision for the future of personal transportation. Its latest concept comes in the form of the new Toyota FT-Me, which is designed for those who live in dense cities, and […]
Car makers are apparently still trying to figure out how to build well-designed controls. Early in the rise of EVs, Tesla was considered the North Star of design, offering a cool new look and efficient performance. But over the years, that novelty has worn off a little, and some of the design choices Tesla has […]
Jaguar is undergoing a major transformation. Alongside unveiling its new logo – which has faced its share of criticism – the iconic brand has introduced a concept car that marks the beginning of a new era. Named the Type 00, this design is a radical departure from anything we’ve seen from Jaguar before – for […]
Hyundai is making a bold entry into the electric SUV market with the new Hyundai Ioniq 9, blending style, innovation, and utility. Drawing design inspiration from its Ioniq siblings, particularly the retro-modern Ioniq 5, the Ioniq 9 upsizes the concept while introducing its own identity, earning its reputation as a “living room on wheels.” That’s […]
Mercedes-Benz has been building electric vehicles longer than many other traditional automakers through to its luxury EQS lineup. The EQS 450+ has sparked some controversy, particularly due to its exterior design, which, admittedly, I find less than appealing with its rounded, almost amorphous shape. However, after spending a week behind the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz […]
Cadillac has long been an influential force in the world of automotive design. Whether through the Eldorado designs of the 50s and 60s or the early 2000s launch of the Escalade, Cadillac design has not only been aspirational for customers but also a guide point for other automotive manufacturers. But the 2020s will see another […]
We’ve all heard the phrase, “business in the front, party in the back,” a description typically appointed to a certain questionable hairstyle associated with a certain degree of surprise only visible from a different perspective. But in the case of the Monogram GX, a one-of-a-kind 2024 Lexus GX modified into the ultimate tailgating vehicle, the […]
BMW’s design team seems a little restless. In just the past few years, they have unveiled (and started to roll back) massive changes to its classic and beloved kidney grille, launched concept designs for future cars like the Vision Neue Klasse, and released crazy-looking vehicles like the BMW XM. But between those headline-making announcements, the […]
In the world of hyper-cars, the Bugatti Chiron has always been regarded as a paragon of distinct styling, luxury, and the type of automotive engineering that seems almost fictional in its neck-whipping design. Being able to reach speeds in excess of 300 mph does tend to elicit visceral reactions. But as the saying goes, all […]
It seems fitting that Eli Electric Vehicles – a crowdfunded startup focused on the developing micro-EVs with double-digit rechargeable range – is based out of traffic-laden Los Angeles. With firsthand knowledge about the mounting issues related to transportation and infrastructure, the micro-automotive EV brand is set to launch Eli ZERO, a cute and contemporary two-seater […]
Last summer I had the opportunity to call upon the services of a Lamborghini Urus Performante for a week, a beastly 657 hp SUV that proved surprisingly well mannered during everyday outings around the city, but was also more than willing to loosen the ole sash and get really moving when opportunity permitted. Awash in […]
Iconic supermodel Naomi Campbell is renown for making a dramatic entry wherever she is, but she might have met her match with the reveal of a specially tailored BMW XM SUV. Aptly named the Mystique Allure, it’s bedazzled in sequins and wrapped in a deep velvet exterior finish tempting touch. And that should be totally […]
When Ferrari rolled out not one, but several of their new 2025 12Cilindri grand tourers onto stages across the Prancing Horse’s luxuriously appointed tent set across Miami’s South Beach, you could feel a palpable collective pause, as if every breath was being withheld in awe of what had rolled before us. A distillation of automotive […]
