Jeep Wrangler V-8 Drops the Mic with a $101,890 Final Edition

The V-8 Jeep Wrangler is going out the only way it knows how: with a bang. Jeep has just revealed the 2024 Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition, a limited-run sendoff for the beastliest factory Wrangler there ever was. Unsurprisingly, it pulls out all the stops and costs a whopping $101,890 to start; this princely sum gets you all sorts of accessories and visual add-ons, along with the bragging rights of being one of 3700 lucky few to own the last of the V-8 Wranglers. The treatment starts off with decals for the hood and front fender vents, and the 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels feature a bronze finish. A winch, a Mopar grille guard, and Mopar rock sliders come standard, and Jeep includes an 0.5 inch suspension lift kit that brings ground clearance up to 11.5 inches. Inside, the inter

2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC350e Plug-In Hybrid Has a Roughly 70-Mile Range

Mercedes-Benz already offers five electric passenger vehicles in the United States, and their sales continue to rise. But Mercedes is also expanding its hybrid offerings, helping ease customers into the world of EVs before the transition to electric power begins to take full effect next decade. Now the German automaker has announced it is adding a plug-in-hybrid variant for its compact GLC-class crossover, the 2025 GLC350e. The new model arrives in the second half of this year. The plug-in GLC packs a 24.8-kWh battery and a 134-hp permanently excited synchronous motor. This is paired with a 2.0-liter 201-hp engine, and while Mercedes didn't confirm any other details of the gas powertrain, we believe it is a detuned version of the turbocharged four-cylinder from the GLC300. All told, the hybrid system has a combined output of 313 horsepower and 40

Hertz CEO Resigns after Big Bet on EVs Fails to Pay Off - caranddriver.com - state California

Hertz CEO Resigns after Big Bet on EVs Fails to Pay Off

In 2021, Hertz made a big splash when it announced plans to buy 100,000 Teslas and greatly expand its fleet of EVs. That deal, which came just half a year after a $4.2 billion restructuring saved the company from bankruptcy, moved the brand's stock price up 40 percent over two weeks. Two and a half years later, the brand is selling off many of those EVs at perilously low prices, and the stock is trading at just 20 percent of its 2021 high. That is the sort of outcome that suggests a huge gamble did not pay off, and as a result, CEO Stephen Scherr is stepping down from his role.

Ocean Suv - Fisker Pauses Production for Six Weeks, Awaiting New Investment - caranddriver.com - Usa

Fisker Pauses Production for Six Weeks, Awaiting New Investment

After a grim earnings call that included the announcement of mass layoffs in late February, Fisker, the electric vehicle startup manufacturer, announced a six-week pause in production starting today, March 18. According to a release issued by Fisker, the pause will help the manufacturer «align inventory levels and progress strategic and financing initiatives.» Despite the pause in production, the automaker is continuing negotiations with an unnamed «large automaker» to generate a strategic partnership between brands. The partnership could materialize as joint development of an EV platform or include manufacturing deals within the United States. Fisker confirmed that closing any negotiation will require the company to satisfy conditions described as «completion of due diligence and negotiation and execution of appropriate definitive agreements.» The company also announced a n

2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Has Lots More Cargo Space Than Before - caranddriver.com - state Tennessee - Santa Fe - city Santa Fe - city Nashville, state Tennessee

2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Has Lots More Cargo Space Than Before

The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe's boxy new shape pays dividends on the inside, as Hyundai says that the new model has more cargo space and passenger room than before. We tested that claim for ourselves and measured exactly how much stuff fits inside the redesigned Santa Fe's cargo area. And the answer is: a lot. With all the seats folded, the 2024 Santa Fe held 34 carry-on suitcases in our testing—seven whole suitcases more than the previous-gen Santa Fe could accommodate. This bears out Hyundai's claim that the new model has 80 cubic feet of total cargo space, versus 72 cubic feet in the old model. The growth is not particularly surprising considering the 2024 Santa Fe's squared-off rear

Rivians Can Now Use Tesla's Superchargers, Adapters Arriving in April - caranddriver.com

Rivians Can Now Use Tesla's Superchargers, Adapters Arriving in April

Over the past year, the automotive industry has almost collectively accepted that Tesla's proprietary NACS charging outlet—and subsequently its expansive Supercharger network—is the best solution to the public charging conundrum. As of today, Rivian drivers now have access to over 15,000 Superchargers across North America, and a free adapter is on the way. Along with nearly every other automaker, Rivian announced plans to transition to the Tesla-style port and create an adapter for owners of existing Rivians with the CCS port. The company today said that owners will begin receiving their complimentary NACS adapter next month. The adapter is only compatible with V3 chargers, which run at 250 kilowatts.

2025 Audi Q6 and SQ6 e-tron Advance the Brand's EV Game with an 800-Volt Platform

Audi has finally unwrapped its new 2025 Q6 and SQ6 e-tron models, the brand's third series of electric SUVs that also represent several firsts for the manufacturer: the first Audi models to be built on the Volkswagen Group's scalable Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform; the first EVs to be produced at Audi's Ingolstadt plant in Germany; and the first examples of the brand's new cockpit layout and electrical architecture. Their target is the core of the electric luxury SUV space, where they'll brandish new tech inside and out as they vie for sales with the likes of the Cadillac Lyriq, the Genesis Electrified GV70, and the Lexus RZ. Given that we've already seen photos of the new e-tron's interior and driven camouflaged prototypes, the big news is the reveal of the Q6 and SQ6's final exterior design, which is classic Audi: refined, athletic, and conventionally attractive. A chunky grille, blistered fenders, and dazzling lighting elements front and rear all are present on these cars' two-box shapes. Even sleeker Sportback variants will join the lineup later on. While the European-market examples we saw featured the brand's latest Matri
