For 2026, the Nissan Kicks remains one of the most affordable SUVs in the U.S., starting at $23,925. All-wheel drive bumps the base S model to $25,425, while the sportier SR trim ranges from $28,155 FWD to $29,655 AWD. 👌📉

Even fully loaded, the Kicks stays under $30,000 before options, making it a budget-friendly choice for buyers seeking a small, practical SUV.

Mercedes-AMG is developing a new high-tech, electrified V-8 set to debut in 2027. Designed as a successor to the current 4.0-liter “M178,” the engine will deliver more power than the 720-hp AMG GT Black Series, with engineers confirming its upper limits surpass today’s benchmarks. 🤯‼

AMG’s new V-8 will be quicker, cleaner, and built to last into the next decade, though the C63 won’t see it soon. Mercedes’ V-12 also survives in select Maybach and Guard models, but stricter rules will limit its reach in Europe.

Ford’s 2,000-hp all-electric SuperVan 4.2 just lapped the Nürburgring in 6:48.42 with Romain Dumas at the wheel, four seconds quicker than the Mustang GTD and faster than cars like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. 👀🔥

Running on racing slicks, the one-off van pays tribute to Sabine Schmitz’s legendary Top Gear Transit lap, cementing its place as one of the quickest vehicles ever around the ‘Ring.

Before touchscreens took over, many automakers used rotary k***s to control infotainment. Audi, Mercedes, and Mazda have since abandoned them, but BMW continues to refine its iDrive controller. 🖲‼️

BMW’s iDrive k**b, introduced in 2001, remains one of the most intuitive infotainment controls but with Neue Klasse EVs dropping physical buttons, its days may be numbered.

The high-performance side-by-side battle is heating up. After Polaris and Can-Am, Kawasaki joins with the 2026 Teryx H2, boasting a supercharged 1.0-liter inline-four rated at 250 hp, though certified under different standards than rivals, so the true figure is debatable.

Teryx H2’s superbike-derived engine revs to 9500 rpm, hits 101 mph with a CVT, and rides on 33-inch tires with nearly two feet of suspension travel. Priced from $39,594, the bare-bones base model is built for pure performance and customization.
