General Motors is polishing up the software experience in its bestselling trucks in an effort to reduce the amount of dangerous tapping and swiping that’s required to access the most-used controls. It’s also giving Apple CarPlay and Android Auto spiffy new picture-in-picture displays — which is notable given GM’s previously stated hostility to phone mirroring in its electric vehicles.When the next-generation interface makes its debut on the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2027 GMC Sierra 1500 later this year, vehicle owners will see a number of changes, including slick new graphics for its advanced driver-assist system, animated transitions between displays,…

The Drive 🤝 your inbox. Every weekday The Daily Brief wraps up the biggest stories and our exclusive reporting on the auto industry and car culture. If you’re in the market for an off-road Ford F-150 but have been put off by the high cost of entry, especially in recent years, Ford finally has some good news for you. Both the 2027 F-150 Tremor and F-150 Raptor are getting cheaper—but of course, there’s a catch. Ford isn’t simply slashing prices on its Tremor and Raptor trims. Instead, it’s expanding them to include stripped down models aimed at getting the fun…

HTC’s Vive Eagle is a pair of smart glasses aping the template laid down by Ray-Ban back in 2021. It’s a Wayfarer-style frame with either Panto (round) or Square lens options hewn in either black or tinted translucent plastic. On either side of the two glasses lenses, embedded in the hinges, are two round cut-outs: one for the camera and the other for a white LED and the sensor that surrounds it. The LED is there to warn those around you that you’re recording. I’m testing the basic Panto model with non-prescription sunglass lenses, which is available for $499 in…

In theory, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) should be the best-selling vehicles on the market. The idea is that you plug in to charge overnight, then drive it on electric power until the battery is done, at which point the engine fires up and you have a regular hybrid. In theory, the PHEV is the perfect bridge to an all-electric car future, giving drivers a break from regular gas stops while negating EV range anxiety that maybe people still feel. Unfortunately, the reality is that plug-in hybrids don’t go far on electric power alone, and because of that, people aren’t that interested…

Few nameplates carry as much weight as the Land Rover Defender. The prototype of the brand’s all-purpose overlanding vehicle was built in 1947, with the concept approved for production later that year. Land Rover debuted the Series 1 generation at the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1948, characterized by an 80-inch wheelbase, a 1.6-liter petrol engine borrowed from the Rover P3, and a pick-up body style. The Land Rover Series 2 generation arrived in 1958 and is remembered for its visual traits like its classic rounded shoulders and pronounced side sills. Just over a decade later, the headlamps were repositioned to…

Einride’s Level 4-capable truck got a first-of-its-kind permit to operate on Germany’s public roads.

Automotive Volkswagen has a new electric concept that looks like it was shaped almost entirely by airflow, and that is not far from the truth. Called the Mission Efficiency, the experimental EV was created to see just how far Volkswagen could stretch range using mostly production-based hardware rather than an oversized battery. The headline number is remarkable. During a documented road trip from Wolfsburg, Germany, to Vienna, Austria, the car covered 794 miles and still showed 102 miles of remaining range, suggesting more than 870 miles could have been possible under similar conditions. The secret is not a…

Most plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) today get an average of around 30-50 miles of battery-only range: decent, but not mind-blowing. With hybrid sales dominating the market today, Volvo is out to prove that its PHEVs can push the limits of what’s possible.Today, the Swedish automaker revealed the updated PHEV versions of its popular XC60 and XC90 SUVs are its first “long range plug-in hybrids,” delivering class-leading ranges of 78 miles and 73 miles, respectively. That’s more than double the electric range of previous PHEV variant. The numbers are still preliminary and based on EPA testing standards. But if confirmed,…
