2024 Ford Ranger Raptor Jumps, Hustles, and Drifts - autoweek.com - county Ford - Australia

2024 Ford Ranger Raptor Jumps, Hustles, and Drifts

It seems obvious now, but it was hard to imagine the rippled waves caused by Ford’s F-150 SVT Raptor’s launch over a decade ago. The first generation of Ford’s Baja-blasting pickup was cool, but it was hard to see through all of the desert sand that this Raptor name would become synonymous with Ford’s off-roading efforts. Well, with the launch of the Ranger Raptor in Australia, the Raptor name became further entrenched as a staple in Ford’s lineup. Now, after a handful of years as a forbidden fruit, you can travel down to your local Ford dealer and drive away in your own Ranger Raptor—without a manufacturer’s plate, or any creative registration. Ford’s Ranger Raptor follows the same path as its full-size stablemate. It has more power than the base Ranger, a

Forget ‘Flying Cars’—Where Are the Robotaxis?

In San Francisco’s Chinatown last month, a crowd celebrating the Lunar New Year surrounded an empty Waymo Jaguar, broke its windows and threw fireworks inside, The San Francisco Standard reports. There were no injuries from the incident, according to Waymo. A few days earlier in the city, according to the San Francisco Examiner, a Waymo robotaxi hit a cyclist, causing minor injuries and no hospitalization. The Lunar New Year torching got very little media attention outside the city. General Motors’ Cruise already had pulled its operations out of San Francisco following a serious injury to a pedestrian, just weeks after the California Public Utilities Commission gave both Waymo and Cruise permission to charge robotaxi fares 24/7 in the city in the face of protests by cyclists and other locals opposed t

Mercedes-AMG Is Doubling Down on Grand Touring Coupes - autoweek.com - Germany

Mercedes-AMG Is Doubling Down on Grand Touring Coupes

Mercedes-AMG has long been known for its boisterous, high-displacement engines, dating back to the performance wing's initiation in 1967. In an era of continuously updating emissions regulations, however, the Affalterbach-based brand is doing more with less, literally. A V8 or two remains, but even AMG is proliferating the turbocharged four, too. For more entry-level models like the AMG CLA lineup, the application of a four-cylinder engine is fitting. However, Mercedes has just revealed an all-new application of its M139 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and it only has two doors. Plus, unlike its two-door siblings, the new model is rear-wheel drive only. Following the official pricing and production announcement for the2024 Mercedes-AMG GT lineup, the German brand pulled another model from its hat y

This Grenadier Pickup Will Be a Little Different

The Ineos Grenadier may seem like it was intended to be a luxury SUV at times, which is what happened to its main sources of inspiration: the Land Rover Defender and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. (Especially the G-Class.) But Ineos has been keen on keeping the Grenadier well within reach of commercial buyers, even if it's not quite a no-frills model. And this goes for the Grenadier Quartermaster pickup as well. As promised, the automaker has introduced a chassis cab version of the Quartermaster pickup featuring an identical wheelbase to the Quartermaster, but with an exposed ladder frame. «The Grenadier's body-on-frame construction already provides huge versatility for cus

2025 Audi Q6 e-tron Ups Its EV Game - autoweek.com - New York

2025 Audi Q6 e-tron Ups Its EV Game

Seldom does the term «all-new» really mean just that in the automotive world, but Audi is getting its own shining moment this week. Ahead of the New York International Auto Show and marking a new era in its electric legacy, the 2024 Audi Q6 e-tron is finally here—and in good form, too. That's not to downplay the importance of previous and current Audi EVs. We're big fans of the Audi e-tron GT, but the Q6 e-tron represents a shift in Audi's approach to EVs. That's because the mid-size crossover is the first Audi to ride on its new Premium Platform Electric (PPE). Shared with the incoming Porsche Macan EV, the PPE-based Audi joins its upscale sibling in launching a new portfolio of electric models across the Volkswagen group. Despite a shared platform, the Audi Q6 e-tron will be uniqu

Rivian Owners Can Now Use Tesla Superchargers - autoweek.com - Usa

Rivian Owners Can Now Use Tesla Superchargers

Starting this week, Rivian owners will have access to Tesla's Supercharger network, with Rivian being one of nearly two dozen automakers that had revealed plans last summer to adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS). This means over 15,000 Superchargers will be open to Rivian owners, with the automaker saying it will start distributing NACS DC adapters in April free of charge. But those who have the CCS to NACS adapters at the moment can begin using the network with plug-and-charge convenience—Rivian has already integrated its billing system into the Supercharg

2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Is Bigger, Comfortable, and Awfully Familiar

Midsize crossovers and SUVs represent the most densely populated vehicle segment in America, racking up nearly 4 million sales in 2023—and still growing—and accounting for a quarter of all light-vehicle sales. It’s easy for any of these thirty vehicles to be overlooked in the haze of cross-shopping and test driving, especially in this sector where utility, flexibility, and practicality trump styling. Years ago, we referred to these as station wagons, and they were great for road trips, with rear-facing third row seats for the little ones. Unlike steady-eddy brands like Toyota and Honda, Hyundai has decided that predictable, me-too sheetmetal is not going to move the retail needle in the right direction for its latest-generation 2024 Santa Fe, which is now available in showrooms.

2024 Ford Ranger Adds Creature Comforts—and a Lot More Price

Just like Joanie Loves Chachi, Ford’s Ranger is a spin-off. Once a package on full-size F-Series trucks, Ford shuffled its Ranger badge to its new, Courier replacement in the early 1980s. Ford eventually killed off the Ranger line in the U.S. in the early 2010s, only to wisely give it the reboot the name justly deserved in 2019. Now, entering its fifth generation in the United States, Ford is giving the Ranger a serious update but isn’t straying from its main message. The most obvious change for the ’24 model year is its streamlined order sheet. Ford is only offering the Ranger with one box a
