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,…

The Apple Pencil has historically been an iPad-only accessory, but that changes with Apple’s latest iPhone release. For years, the Apple Pencil was solely an iPad accessory. No other Apple product worked with it, including Macs or iPhones. But the situation is different now. With the introduction of the iPhone Duo, Apple is making big changes to how the iPhone can work — not only for the software, but also the hardware.  That means you can now use an Apple Pencil with an iPhone. That is, of course, if you buy the fancy and expensive iPhone Duo. But even though the…

Lexus did not reinvent its NX model for 2027, and that’s for good reason. Small changes to one of the company’s most popular SUVs mean it answers owner’s wishes with an updated design that makes it more distinct from other family crossovers. Now, with only hybrid engines like the Toyota RAV4 it’s based on, it’s also more efficient and easier to live with. Here are all the angles of the latest premium Japanese SUV, inside and out.

With the Ford F-150 Lightning no longer available, the Chevy Silverado EV is now the most affordable full-size electric pickup you can get your hands on. 2027 Chevy Silverado EV gets a slight price bump The F-150 Lightning, one of the first electric trucks to go on sale in the US alongside the Rivian R1T, is officially discontinued. Ford no longer lists the electric pickup on its website as it prepares to introduce its next-generation models: the $30,000 Fathom and an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) truck that will carry the F-150 Lightning name. While the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning was…

There are two models in Ford’s lineup older than any other it offers today. One not only serves as the best-selling vehicle in the country, it also holds the distinction of being the most popular pickup in the country. That’s something it doesn’t take lightly. It worked hard to get itself there. So, what about the one it produces that’s in a league of its own? The Mustang might be the only real pony car left on the market, but it’s been lumped in with muscle cars for quite some time, even getting lumped in the generic “coupe” category to…

Say hello to The Drive‘s new long-term test car, the 2026 Honda Prelude. I’ll be driving this Rallye Red model until next summer, and like our last long-term vehicle, it’ll be my main mode of transportation every day, whether for a fun Sunday drive or an awful grocery run. From the incessant summer heat, to the chilly and rainy fall, to the unavoidable snow of the Midwest, it’ll be my mission to find out…

Automotive Ford has come up with an unusual pickup truck idea that could make certain worksite chores a lot easier. A recently granted patent from Ford Global Technologies describes a system that would allow someone standing behind a truck to move it forward or backward in small increments without climbing into the cab. The concept is aimed at situations where a truck needs to be repositioned repeatedly, such as spreading gravel, mulch, dirt, or other materials from the bed. The clever part is how Ford proposes controlling the truck. Instead of relying on a smartphone app, key fob,…

Now that Valve has finally launched its entire 2026 hardware lineup — the Steam Controller, the Steam Machine, and today’s Steam Frame — are we any closer to a next-gen Steam Deck handheld? Valve isn’t saying so yet. The company is figuring out “how and when we can deliver something like that,” Valve designer Pierre-Loup Griffais now tells IGN.“We also don’t want more performance to come at a significant cost to power efficiency and battery life,” Griffais told me in 2023, saying he wanted to see a “leap” instead — but suggesting that leap might not be physically possible for…
