Kia’s redesigned 2027 Seltos broke cover this week, and the comparison reviewers keep reaching for says everything: baby Telluride. That’s not a throwaway compliment. The Telluride has spent several years at or near the top of full-size SUV rankings by delivering a premium look and generous features at prices that undercut European rivals — and now Kia is running the same play a segment lower, starting at $24,990.

To say that Honda is going through a rough patch right now would be a bit of an understatement. Earlier this year, the company reported its first net annual loss since it went public in 1957, amounting to approximately $2.7 billion (423.9 billion yen). CEO Toshihiro Mibe nearly lost his job over it, Honda’s electric program is officially dead, and aggressive cost-cutting initiatives are now at the forefront of its business strategy. The Japanese automaker expects to lose north of $12 billion in costs related to its failed EV aspirations, notably the stillborn 0 Series and Acura RSX revival. At…

It’s not every day the world gets a new V10-powered sports coupe. And those days are even fewer and further between when said V10 happens to come from a Viper. But there’s a new one in town, and it comes from an automaker with a rich history of building sports cars. Even among hardcore auto enthusiasts, the British company Bristol Cars is not a brand with much name recognition, despite launching in 1946 with the Bristol 400. The automaker’s heyday was in the 1950s and ’60s, when it specialized in upscale cars, including several performance-oriented models. The brand is now…

Just when it looked like we were about to find out what Storm Sondors has been cooking up for his return to the e-bike world, the story has taken another strange turn. Nearly two weeks ago, we broke the news on the sudden reappearance of SONDORS, with the company’s website teasing what appeared to be a new electric two-wheeler known simply as “001.” The dark teaser image offered precious few details, (with a few more available when we artificially lightened the image), but the site did give us one important piece of information: “Sept 3.” Well, September 3 has now…

TVs have become incredibly smart over the years. They can automatically tweak picture quality, adjust sound for your room, and recommend what you should watch next. Yet once you bolt one to the wall, there’s one decidedly old-fashioned thing about it: it’s staying exactly where you put it. Perlegear has an interesting solution at IFA 2026. The company is showing off the AX1 Smart Adaptive Mount, a motorized TV mount that detects where you’re watching from and automatically moves the television to a more comfortable height. It’s an idea that sounds a little excessive until you think about how many…

Few automakers can match the depth of personalization on offer at the very top of the market — but Porsche has been quietly doing it for decades. While rivals like Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke and Coachbuild, Aston Martin’s Q, Bentley’s Mulliner, and Lamborghini’s Ad Personam get most of the headlines, Porsche’s own bespoke division has been turning customer dreams into reality since the late 1970s. That division is called “Sonderwunsch” — German for “Special Requests” — and its latest creation is one of the most extraordinary things to wear a Porsche badge. The Panamera Turbo Sonderwunsch is a one-off, custom-built version of…

Andy Holloway cohosts the Fantasy Footballers podcast with his friends Jason Moore and Mike Wright. The show is one of the premier fantasy sports podcasts, netting over 2 million monthly listeners and numerous awards, including Best Sports Podcast from iHeartRadio and People’s Choice at the Podcast Awards four years in a row.Holloway’s goal has always been about bringing fantasy football to a wider audience, not just hardcore nerds. With the NFL season starting next week and fantasy drafts in full swing, now seemed like a great time to see how Holloway stays focused during what is probably the busiest part…

Cruisers have never been more expensive to buy new. Dealership floors are full of shiny machines with eye-watering price tags, and even the more modest end of the market can leave your wallet feeling light. But here’s the thing: the used market is quietly overflowing with genuinely great motorcycles — bikes that were overlooked when new, discontinued before their time, or simply victims of shifting tastes. Depreciation has done its work, and what was once an also-ran is now a compelling bargain. If you’re willing to shop smart, you can ride something truly special for a fraction of what it…

Because even background features need to be scrutinized. Smith Collection/gado/Getty Images Bluetooth allows for all manner of creature comforts, from hands-free calls to wireless headphones. However, few tech conveniences can go without drawbacks, and Bluetooth is no exception. At a time when personal data is a hot commodity, it’s best to exercise caution. Though Bluetooth requires a user’s consent before pairing with another device, that doesn’t mean hackers can’t slip through the cracks. A notable case was the discovery of a Bluetooth vulnerability in Fitbits specifically, as well as other hardware that makes use of the…

I’m wary of self-proclaimed automotive ‘experts’ – especially those who’ve insisted for years that motor shows, small cars, petrol and diesel are all dead. Such events, products and fuels are very much alive. And will be for years, if not decades. Last week’s British Motor Show (BMS) helped prove the point – as if proof is needed – that car exhibitions, preferably those with accompanying side shows and test drive facilities for real-world buyers, can still be a huge hit with forward-thinking vehicle makers, hard-working dealers and the great motoring public.
