The N Line gets a new quad exhaust design. Although substantial design changes usually happen when a car transitions to the next generation, the 2024 Hyundai Sonata is technically a facelift for the eighth-gen model launched in 2019. The most obvious novelty is at the front where the midsize sedan has received a wide LED light bar in the same vein as the Kona crossover, Staria minivan, and the larger Grandeur sedan. Official images show the standard model and the sporty-looking N Line.

It is assumed that the SUV with an unusual design will replace the ix35 model. The fresh cross should make its premiere this year.

During the last update, the top version of the roadster of the Bavarian brand did not receive the “mechanics”, although it was assumed that such an option was being developed.

Prices for both models increased by an average of $500 across all trim levels. Subaru announced pricing for the 2024 Legacy and Outback models today. Not surprisingly, the lineup will see modest price increases from 2023. The 2024 Legacy begins at $24,895, up $500 from its 2023 starting price of $24,395. Similarly, the Outback base price increases by $500, going from $28,395 to $28,895 next year.

It will go into production in April this year. Just last week, our spies caught a prototype of the refreshed Hyundai i10, and now the hatchback debuts in its full and official form. The mid-cycle facelift doesn’t bring heavy changes to the styling and equipment but there are some tweaks and additions to the standard tech worth talking about. The N-Line sporty-looking trim also carries over to this new i10, offering design touches inspired by Hyundai’s N performance division.

Can you spot the changes? Hyundai has quietly published the first images of its mildly updated Elantra on its website in South Korea where the compact sedan is sold as the Avante. The styling revisions come quite early in the life cycle considering the seventh generation was unveiled in March 2020 before going on sale later that year. Hyundai has developed a habit of rapidly updating its lineup, and even though the Elantra still feels fresh, it's time for some revisions.

The interior hosts a 27-inch touchscreen. Yes, 27. In August 2022, the revamped Ford Edge made an early appearance in China on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's website as part of the SUV's homologation process. We saw it again at the end of last month undergoing cold-weather testing while wearing a colorful wrap. The family vehicle is now celebrating its official debut in China where it goes by the name of Edge L. Inside and out, it looks vastly different than its predecessor.

In recent years, most sports car manufacturers have entered the ever-growing crossover market, and McLaren remains one of the few companies that has not yet done so. And how could an all-terrain model from this company look like?

The SUV is offered with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. There is only one engine, and the previously announced classic eight-speed “automatic” has not yet appeared.

At the moment, the fresh “four-door” has been announced only for the Indian market, where the model will be offered with two gasoline engines to choose from. The presentation will take place in March.

The X5 M Competition starts at $123,295, and the X6 M Competition goes for $128,195. Following the premiere of the refreshed 2024 BMW X5 and X6 in early February 2023, the M Competition variants of the SUVs are now debuting. They go into production at the automaker's plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, in April 2023 and have a public debut at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. In the US, the X5 M Competition starts at $123,295 after the $995 destination fee, and the X6 M Competition goes for $128,195.

The official reveal takes place in May. Volkswagen has been making the Touareg for two decades and is preparing a mid-cycle update for the third-generation model. Following an official preview last week, a batch of speculative renders attempts to peel off the camouflage to reveal the production-ready design cues. Although it'll only be a facelift, some significant changes are planned at the front and rear where light bars will be installed to modernize the midsize SUV's exterior.

The mid-cycle refresh includes more standard features and a completely revamped interior. The Cadillac XT4 is the latest subcompact crossover within the General Motors family to receive an update. The new model reaches dealerships this summer, but we get a taste right now of what to expect when it arrives in showrooms.

The "Entry Luxury" class will have fewer models. As some of you will remember, Mercedes' strategy update from 2022 included an early look at a CLA-like compact sedan. It's scheduled to go into production in 2024 at the Kecskemét plant in Hungary following a €1 billion investment. The teaser image showed a silhouette of a swoopy four-door car penned by Gorden Wagener, the company's chief designer. A more substantial preview could take place later this year, according to CEO Ola Källenius.

With the massive $5,000 destination charge, but without the gas-guzzler tax. This just in – Ferraris are bloody expensive. The 2024 Purosangue finally has a price tag in the United States, and you could buy a used car in running condition with the money spent just on the destination charge. These extra fees have been gradually increasing in recent years, reaching $2,000 for Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. However, the prancing horse on stilts takes the cake with $5,000 just to have the SUV shipped from Maranello.

The posh SUV is getting a front light bar and an illuminated rear badge. The current Volkswagen Touareg was introduced five years ago as the brand's flagship model following the demise of the Phaeton. While other cars would be getting ready for the next generation by now, the peeps from Wolfsburg are preparing a mid-cycle update for the Mk3. Prior to its world premiere at the beginning of May, the Audi Q7's less fancy cousin is being previewed in surprisingly revealing teaser images.

Toyota apparently wants to bank on the prestige of important nameplates used in Japan. After turning the Crown into a family of four models – although only the sedan is coming to the United States – it would seem the Century is up next. Rumors indicate an SUV carrying the flagship car's moniker will debut later this year. This new (and very much unofficial) rendering portrays the ultra-luxury sedan turned into a high-riding model.

Following the ID.4 SUV, VW's first electric sedan will debut in the US in the second quarter of 2023. Sedans aren't dead yet. Volkswagen will launch a new all-electric model later this year called the ID.7. Previewed in July 2022 by the ID. Aero concept, the ID.7 will offer a spacious interior with long-range capability, ultimately serving as the company's flagship model in its electric ID series.

And a new front fascia. While other firms are cutting models and derivatives, Hyundai is one of the few automakers that keeps expanding its performance vehicle range. The South Korean manufacturer has a family of affordable N-branded go-fast models, including the Elantra N, which is a proper sports sedan. There isn’t a single two-door vehicle in that family, though.

The Rising brand (aka Feifan), which is part of the Chinese auto concern SAIC, after the R7 crossover, is preparing to launch a second completely original model, the F7 liftback, on the home market. Both models are equipped only with electric power plants.
