Hyundai luxes up its largest SUV with a High Roof trim level in Korea. The roof is raised by 9.4 inches for a more spacious, luxurious interior. The Palisade High Roof gets a 21.4-inch screen, pop-out reading lights, and more. For decades, luxury sedans were the default choice for those who wanted to be chauffeured while relaxing in the back seats or doing business on the go. However, high-end minivans have been gaining traction in certain parts of the world, especially in Asia. Hyundai Motor Group has taken notice of this shift in customer preferences, with some wealthy buyers switching…

Credit: CnEVPost China’s draft revision to its road traffic safety law proposes that manufacturers handle traffic violations in fully autonomous driving mode. The draft draws a clear distinction between autonomous driving and assisted driving, with the latter continuing to be regulated as non-autonomous driving. China is proposing that automakers assume responsibility for handling traffic violations committed while vehicles are operating in fully autonomous mode, further defining the legal boundaries for the technology’s commercialization. The draft revision to the Road Traffic Safety Law was submitted on Tuesday…

I drove the Can-Am Pulse over several rides, including a 4-hour stretch mixing city streets and higher-speed roads, for a total 570 km. I had the opportunity to try it in the rain as well as on a very hot sunny day, day and night. Here is my review: Abstract The Can-Am Pulse is a compact, city-focused electric motorcycle that delivers on its promise: an agile, comfortable commuter that’s genuinely fun to ride, even for a taller rider like me. Over 570 km of mixed city and highway riding, in sun, rain, and after dark, the Pulse impressed with confident…

If you’ve been holding off on buying an iPad mini, you may want to keep that wallet closed for just a little longer. Apple is reportedly preparing a significant display upgrade for its smallest tablet, and it could arrive before Halloween. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to introduce a revamped iPad mini with an OLED display by the end of October. That may not sound particularly groundbreaking when OLED screens are already common across phones, TVs, and even some of Apple’s other products. But for the iPad mini, it would be a pretty substantial jump. The iPad mini…

Somewhere along the way, the sport bike lost the plot. Decades of chasing lap times produced machines so focused on outright performance that riding one on public roads felt like a compromise at best and a liability at worst. The engine was there, the brakes were there — but the usable power, the real-world comfort, and the honest value? Not so much. That gap is exactly where the naked sport bike was born, and it has never been more relevant than it is today. Knowing full well that halo-model sport bikes have limited everyday appeal, pretty much every manufacturer also…

The performance car landscape in the United States has changed dramatically over the last decade, with beloved naturally aspirated V8 performance cars having largely fallen by the wayside. The Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger have both been killed off over the last few years, as have models like the Lexus IS 500 and RC F. Lexus also ended production of the LC this month, so only dealer stock is left over. It seems like the naturally aspirated V8 may die off in the not-too-distant future, but fortunately, a couple of brands are working hard to ensure this doesn’t occur. The…

The creator of the world’s first 3D-printed gun claims he’s developed a way to thwart government-mandated software meant to block 3D printers from making firearms. It’s an opening volley in what’s shaping up to be an evolving battle between regulators trying to stem the tide of ghost guns and individuals trying to create workarounds.Cody Wilson, who claims to have made the detection-defying tool, is calling it “Hochulization” as a direct jab at New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who pushed through the nation’s first law mandating gun file detection software on new printers earlier this year. “New York is trying to…

TheMazda CX-70 is one of the more interesting choices in the mainstream SUV market today, chiefly due to its reliance on a longitudinally mounted straight-six as its pure-ICE power plant. The 2026 iteration is offered with three distinct powertrain choices: a 280-horsepower six, a 340-hp six, and a 323-hp PHEV option that uses a 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine. With a 340-hp version available for a few thousand more, it seems obvious to upgrade. But the math tells a different story.
