I almost bought a brand-new Chevrolet Malibu in 2008. I was a feisty marketing executive and the restyled seventh-generation sedan looked sharp amid a field of largely bland alternatives. The car was larger on the outside compared to its predecessor, more in line with the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. But the inside was worlds nicer—nothing like the acres of cheap gray plastic that defined General Motors interiors through the 1990s and 2000s.
Last year Jaguar Land Rover announced an expensive rebranding. The company shortened its corporate name to JLR, turned its Land Rover models into individual brands, and teased Jaguar's electrified future. The company's $18.6-billion investment will include an effort to take Jaguar upmarket, which will put the price of its first electric vehicle at over £100,000 ($125,000 at today's exchange rate).
Subaru will lean on Toyota for three more electric crossovers through 2026, but it first will revive the Crosstrek Hybrid, Automotive News reports.

Most affordable of these five is BE.05 which is poised to be the most flamboyant compact electric SUV in India or even the world.

Subaru isn't quite ready to build electric vehicles on its own. I get it—it's scary out there in the uncertain world of EV sales. That's why it's getting back together with Toyota to develop three more electric crossovers on top of the Solterra, the brand's bZ4X twin.
