BMW has confirmed a 2028 launch for the iX5 Hydrogen fuel cell SUV. New hydrogen storage fits the Neue Klasse platform, delivering 750km of range with five-minute refills. The fuel cell story keeps getting more credible.
Geely says its new Emgrand i-HEV sedan hits 2.22L/100km on the highway, beats the Toyota Prius on efficiency, and runs the world's most thermally efficient hybrid drivetrain at 48.41 per cent. Whether Australia gets it is another question.
Honda has pulled the plug on three dedicated EVs and will instead build a multi-energy platform that flexes between full EV and hybrid. The shift is driven by Washington politics and a hybrid-buying surge that caught Honda flat-footed.
Lotus is walking back its all-electric promise and building a hybrid V8 flagship that could crack 745kW. The Type 135 looks like the most serious supercar the brand has built in decades, and Australian buyers should plan accordingly.
GWM has unveiled the Ora 5 hatchback for Australia. Same 58kWh battery, same 150kW motor as the SUV, but with a sportier stance and likely lower price. The brand is going hard against the BYD Dolphin and MG4 Urban.
An NBC tour of GM's design centre caught Mary Barra walking past clay models that look an awful lot like the C9 Corvette. GM insists it showed nothing future-product. The footage suggests otherwise, and Australian buyers should pay attention.
GWM's next Ora model is a sporty station wagon called the Ora 7. Chinese regulatory filings reveal dual motors making 310kW, LFP battery chemistry, and styling lifted straight from last year's Lightning Cat concept.
Toyota's next MR2 will go mid-engine, all-wheel drive and run the new G20E 2.0-litre turbo making up to 300kW. Track testing in Japan has confirmed the layout but the manual gearbox lovers want is not part of the plan.
Porsche Sonderwunsch has built a one-off 911 GT3 "Tree of Life" to mark 15 years of official distribution in Moldova. 400 hours of hand-painted bodywork, a wild interior, and a window into what Porsche's customisation department is capable of.
Computer screens and clay models visible in a GM facility tour on NBC may have given the world its first look at the next-generation Corvette. Combined with a new 6.7-litre V8 debuting in the current C8, the signs point to a substantial generational leap ahead.
Bentley's four-door flagship sedan has been substantially refreshed. The 2027 Flying Spur brings back the performance-focused S nameplate, introduces single headlights for the first time since 1962, and is now available to order in Australia from $508,000 before options.
Skoda has accidentally given buyers an early look at its upcoming flagship electric SUV. The 2027 Peaq appeared in uncamouflaged 3D form in a teaser video about aerodynamics, confirming the design before the scheduled June 23 reveal. Australia is in the picture.
