SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 22, 2026 – Kia has now put a clear price tag on its all-new 2027 Telluride (gas-only/ICE) three-row SUV, starting at $39,190 MSRP for the LX FWD, and that single number will matter to a lot of real households planning a big purchase in 2026. The company says the new Telluride brings more power via a standard turbocharged engine, more interior room than the outgoing model, and a more rugged X-Pro trim aimed at getaways that go beyond paved roads. If you’ve been waiting to see whether the next Telluride would stay in “reachable” territory, this pricing announcement is the practical signal that shopping season is officially starting.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 9, 2026 – Kia America says it finished 2025 with its highest-ever annual sales total, reaching 852,155 units and passing the 800,000 mark for the first time. The company reports the result is a 7 percent increase over its previous record set in 2024, making this the third straight year it has posted an all-time annual record. For shoppers, the headline isn’t just “big number” energy: Kia is signaling that everyday favorites like Sportage, Telluride, and Carnival are still pulling demand, while electrified models are growing fast in the mix.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 9, 2026 – BMW of North America has released its full-year 2025 U.S. sales results for both BMW and MINI, and the headline is a familiar one: another record year for BMW, plus solid growth for MINI powered by a refreshed lineup. The numbers matter if you’re shopping (or just watching the market) because they hint at what Americans actually want right now—more light trucks and flexible electrified options, even as pure EV demand softens. The report also clarifies that BMW’s “full year 2025” sales window ran from January 3, 2025 to January 2, 2026, following the U.S. auto industry sales release schedule.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 9, 2026 – BMW is bringing the new iX3 to CES 2026 as a showcase for what the brand says is its next chapter in electric driving, digital comfort, and in-car intelligence. The headline moment is the first public demo of an enhanced, AI-powered BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant with Alexa+ technology, paired with the new BMW Panoramic iDrive and BMW Operating System X. For everyday drivers, this isn’t just “future tech on a stage” energy—it’s a preview of how your next car could talk to you more naturally, entertain you while parked, and charge faster, while BMW says these Neue Klasse technologies are set to spread across a wide slice of its lineup by 2027.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 26, 2025 – Lexus is expanding its dedicated battery-electric RZ lineup with a special-edition RZ 600e “F SPORT Performance,” aiming for a sharper, more emotionally charged kind of EV driving when it arrives at Lexus dealerships across Japan on March 2, 2026.

A Special Edition That’s Meant To Feel Alive

Some electric cars impress you on paper, but leave you a little emotionally untouched once you’re behind the wheel. Lexus is clearly trying to push against that with the Special Edition RZ 600e “F SPORT Performance,” built to deepen the “Always On” idea—meaning the car should feel responsive and connected whether you’re cruising through a city evening or carving along a winding stretch of road.

"Always On"

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 19, 2025 – Toyota has launched the all-new, 6th generation RAV4 in Japan as a new-generation SUV built around the idea that “Life is an Adventure,” with a clear message: one model should fit many kinds of lives. Developed around “Diversification, Electrification, and Intelligence,” the new RAV4 keeps the nameplate’s solid, powerful look while leaning harder into choice, electrified performance, and software-driven comfort.

Three Personalities, One RAV4

If you’ve ever loved the RAV4 concept but wished it came with a clearer “this is me” vibe, Toyota is answering with three distinct styles. The lineup includes the sophisticatedly styled Z, the Adventure model designed to handle off-road driving, and the GR SPORT (scheduled for release within fiscal 2025, ending March 2026), which is focused on driving performance.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 15, 2025 – Finland’s electric-vehicle shift is moving fast—and Chinese car brands are starting to feel less like “newcomers” and more like a normal part of the showroom conversation. A new industry view from Helsinki suggests that as more drivers swap gasoline habits for charging routines, brands like MG, BYD, and Polestar are becoming increasingly visible choices for everyday, price-aware consumers. The result is a market story that’s less about hype and more about practical value in the middle of Europe’s EV transition.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 15, 2025 – The idea of “taking a road trip” may be getting a serious upgrade in China, where the fast-rising low-altitude economy is being positioned as the next trillion-level industry. ARIDGE says it’s building for that moment with two distinct flight systems—one meant for personal, short-range experiences, and another designed for longer, faster, multi-passenger travel. Together, the company frames them as the start of a new era in three-dimensional mobility.

Two Very Different Ways to Fly
ARIDGE’s approach isn’t “one flying car for everyone.” Instead, it’s a two-track vision for low-altitude travel scenarios.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 15, 2025 – If “weekend getaway” makes you think of traffic jams and packed terminals, ARIDGE is pitching something far more cinematic: three-dimensional mobility that can lift your travel plans off the ground. In a new update tied to the fast-growing “low-altitude economy” in China, the company highlighted two different flight systems—one aimed at personal short-range experiences, and another designed for longer, faster journeys with multiple passengers.

A868: A Long-Range Flying Car Built for Business-Style Travel
ARIDGE’s headline-grabber is the A868, described as a full tilt-rotor hybrid flying car tailored for multi-passenger, long-range travel. Unveiled during XPENG AI Day 2025, it uses a full tilt-rotor configuration powered by XPENG’s Kunpeng Super Extended-Range Architecture and a self-developed, aviation-grade hybrid-electric core.

The targets are ambitious and very “intercity” in spirit:

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 10, 2025 – Kia’s all-new Seltos has just made its global debut – and this second-generation subcompact SUV is clearly designed for people who want to feel like the main character, whether they’re commuting, weekending, or heading off on a long road trip.

A Small SUV That Thinks Like a Big One

The new Kia Seltos arrives as a bold evolution of one of Kia’s most successful global models. It has been re-engineered to feel more confident on the road and more intuitive to live with every day, blending authentic SUV presence with clever packaging and tech that actually makes daily life easier.

Kia calls the launch theme “The Protagonist,” and it fits: the Seltos is positioned as the car for people writing their own story – from young professionals who bounce between city streets and spontaneous getaways, to small families who want practicality without sacrificing style.
