Toyota Highlander plant gets $1.4B to build a new EV and battery packs

A week after a CarBuzz report that Toyota planned to expand PHEV availability in the U.S. market and possibly offer an electric Toyota Highlander in the near future, Automotive News reports Toyota's pledged $1.4 billion to the Princeton, Indiana plant that builds the current Highlander, Grand Highlander, Sienna minivan, and Lexus TX that's the luxury arm's version of the Grand Highlander.

Bugatti Chiron successor prototype spotted in full profile under camo - autoblog.com

Bugatti Chiron successor prototype spotted in full profile under camo

When Bugatti teased the new V16 that will go into the successor to the Chiron, the early word was that the new coupe would still be recognizable as a Bugatti. We have Top Gear to thank for proof, the magazine scoring an image of a prototype and posting it to X. The design trademarks are there — low nose rising to hug the front wheels, the C graphic along the side, thin light bar stretched across the rear, and a whopping deployable wing. Looks like the new monocoque underneath has been lowered and stretched compared to the current car, though. The front overhang is longer, the curve of the C has been pulled back like a bow string at the top, and there's a noticeably larger span of sheetmetal between the diagonal of the C and the rear wheel arch. Also, that C design element cuts higher through the side of the car, about two-thirds of the way down the door instead of just above the rocker panel. And it's tough to make out details through the camo, but the doors have new lines, too.

Buick Electra-L, Electra-LT concepts lead the Wildcat to production

Buick loves the Beijing Motor Show, and why shouldn't it? Working with its local partner, SAIC, the brand seems to saves up so much mojo for April in Asia and shows up with stunning designs.

Audi Q7 and Q8 get two new PHEV powertrains for European lineup

Audi showed the refreshed 2024 Q8 that's coming to our market at the end of last October, and the refreshed 2025 Audi Q7 for U.S. consumption at the end of last month. Neither model made changes to its powertrains. In Europe, though, Audi's just revealed two plug-in hybrid powertrains for the Q7 and Q8 that return the PHEV to the market. In 2019, the Ingolstadt brand announced the 2020 Q7 PHEV, but global production issues soon saw it pulled off the market when Audi had to prioritize components. The two new PHEVs pick up the banner and make big improvements on the last efforts.

Ram executive sees potential in electrified performance trucks

Speaking with the press at the media reveal of the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, the brand's Global Operations Officer Bob Broderdorf said that he and the brand definitely see electrification playing a role in future performance trucks. He was also confident in Ram's ability to make something along those lines. That's not confirming that there's a specific performance-focused truck that's fully EV or range-extended in development, but Broderdorf wasn't waffling with weak statements about 'always considering future products' or anything of that ilk.

Land Rover Range Rover Electric prototypes endure winter testing

Land Rover has put it (almost) all out there with the new Range Rover Electric prototype, camouflaging the vehicle in nothing more than a flat black paint job. The testers have begun their global torture testing, drifting the coming Range across Sweden's frozen lakes in what we'll guess is Arjeplog, one of the favored spots for testing vehicle drifts and snow drifts at -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
