The crossovers adopt the brand's Pure Design language. Automakers do their best to keep their future products a secret. However, China's odd regulatory requirements sometimes spill the beans before a model's official debut. That's what happened with the 2024 Buick Envision S and Envision Plus, with images and details leaking from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

China-only elongated sedan makes an early appearance. In case you haven't noticed, Mercedes has gradually reduced the number of models still offered with the classic hood ornament. Depending on where you live, the three-pointed star is still available on some vehicles, including the S-Class and its Maybach sibling. Speaking of extra-long sedans, the new E-Class L will be keeping the prestigious badge based on images that have emerged ahead of the model's official debut.

The day before yesterday, the world premiere of the new generation Mercedes-Benz E-class took place, but we decided to imagine what the most powerful version of the business sedan will look like.

The supermini has a reworked front fascia and clear taillights. Renault unveiled the fifth-generation Clio a little over four years ago and now it's giving the supermini a mid-cycle update to remain fresh and competitive against segment rivals like the Volkswagen Polo / Skoda Fabia / SEAT Ibiza trio. It's a significant facelift considering the subcompact hatchback has a completely redesigned front featuring slimmer headlights and a wider grille with a checkerboard pattern.

That will get you a rear-wheel-drive model, destination fees included. It's the end of the line for the Kia Stinger, and this is the version that will close the book. The aptly named Tribute Edition is a limited-production model with just 440 slated for North America, and now we know how much it costs. The manufacturer's suggested price starts at $53,390, and with the mandatory $1,175 added in, out-the-door pricing is $54,565. It's a $1,500 premium over the Stinger GT2.

The sedan's Max Range mode limits its top speed to 56 mph. It was about a year ago when BMW introduced the electric i7. Today, the automaker reveals the potent 2024 i7 M70 xDrive model. BMW will build it in its Dingolfing, Germany, factory, with the worldwide market launch set to begin in the second half of 2023. The sedan makes its debut at Auto Shanghai international motor show.

It goes on sale sometime this summer in the US. The Buick Envista was first launched last year in China. A few months later, the automaker confirmed that the new crossover was coming to the US. The company is now ready to reveal it for our market, with the Envista ushering in a new design language for the brand, which it first previewed with last year's Wildcat EV concept.

All 199 cars planned for production have already been sold. When Aston Martin introduced the DBS 770 Ultimate back in January, it also announced a convertible version but only showed the coupe. The Gaydon-based luxury brand is now filling in the blanks by unveiling the drop-dead gorgeous Volante with its unlimited headroom. It's the rarer of the two body styles since only 199 will be produced whereas the model with the fixed roof is getting 300 copies.

Will be manufactured in China for the local market. The Chinese car market is absolutely fascinating when you take into consideration the sheer number of new models launched each year. One of the many local players is Beijing Hyundai Motor Co, a 50:50 joint venture created by Hyundai and BAIC back in 2002. It sells no fewer than five sedans, a minivan, and several crossovers like the Tucson and the larger Santa Fe. One of the others is the aging ix35, which this new Mufasa is believed to replace.

The Integra Type S is exclusively available with a six-speed manual gearbox that has rev-matching and a limited-slip differential. The 2024 Acura Integra Type S makes its long-awaited debut ahead of going on sale in the United States in June. The public gets to see the sport sedan for the first time at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach this weekend. No pricing details are available at this point.

At the end of last week, the Chinese company Chery held a large corporate presentation and showed several new products, including the new compact crossover TJ-1 with plug-in hybrid powertrain, which can be offered under various subbrands.

The next QX80 appears to be adapting to the current trend on front lighting elements. The first prototype sighting of the next-generation Infiniti QX80 happened just a few days ago but our friends at Kolesa are already trying to predict the design underneath the heavy camouflage. Of note, the QX80 luxury SUV has not undergone a generational update since 2010.

It will be bigger and more sophisticated than the outgoing model. It’s probably safe to say the Duster is among the most important models for Dacia. With 197,100 units delivered around the world last year, the affordable SUV can now brag with more than 2 million cumulative sales since its original launch in 2010. In Europe alone, the Duster was the best-selling SUV on the retail market last year and Dacia’s second best-selling model overall. A new generation Duster was confirmed by the Romanian automaker just earlier this year and about a week ago, we shared the first spy photos of that vehicle. Now, thanks to our pals at Kolesa.ru, we can take an early look at the next-generation Duster.

Sauber will use Audi engines running on completely renewable fuel. In August 2022, Audi announced intentions to join Formula 1 as an engine supplier for the 2026 season. A couple of months later, the German luxury automaker part of the Volkswagen Group reached an agreement with Sauber. At the end of January this year, it acquired a minority stake in the Swiss F1 team. Later this month, a showcar will be displayed at the Auto Shanghai 2023 as part of the company's plan to release more details about its F1 entry.

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.
