BMW is set to launch the 5 Series Touring in spring, offering a range of powertrains, including an all-electric i5 Touring. The i5 will come in two versions, with up to 601hp. BMW is positioning it to compete with the Audi A6 E-tron. The 5 Series Touring will be the first premium car with such a variety of powertrains. An M5 Touring is also expected, possibly debuting at the Geneva Motor Show in February.
2024 VW Atlas Cross Sport | Car And Driver
Volkswagen offers its Basecamp accessory line on the 2024 Atlas Cross Sport, designed to give the SUV a rugged appearance. Customers can choose various elements, like skid plate-like bumpers and fender flares, individually. There are 17-inch wheels available for $1,260 without tires. The full package costs $2,774, or $4,034 with wheels, and is compatible with select Atlas Cross Sport trims starting at $43,905.
Citroën Ami | Electrek
The Citroën Ami is a compact electric vehicle classified as a quadricycle in Europe. It offers a range of 47 miles, a top speed of 28 mph, and costs around $8,000. The small car is designed for city driving, easy to park and maneuver. However, charging options can be limited to wall outlets, which can be challenging in some locations. Despite its basic features, it's seen as a practical and fun option for urban transportation. The author enjoyed driving it in a vacation setting but wished it was more widely available.
Leaked images from a Stellantis factory confirm the existence of a forthcoming Dodge Charger Daytona SRT EV. The images reveal a two-door coupe with a hatchback design, similar to the electric concept introduced earlier. There are indications of both an engine bay and space for a gas cap, suggesting a combustion engine option. The absence of space for a traditional battery pack raises the possibility of innovative hybrid or electric technology integration. The roof may offer an optional panoramic glass panel for a more immersive driving experience. The official reveal is highly anticipated.
Tesla has announced that the Cybertruck electric pickup will have its first deliveries during an event on November 30th at the Gigafactory in Austin, Texas.
