GM is "doing everything we can to ensure EVs get to our customers as quickly as possible to build that EV future.”
he Hyundai Tucson is all-new for 2022, and it comes to us as one of the first Hyundais to display the “Parametric Exterior” design language that Hyundai is turning to for their future products. It stands to reason that they’d choose the Tucson to do so, as it is the brand’s bestseller and some may argue its flagship as a result. And if it’s the flagship, you want it flying your best, brightest and freshest colours, right? It starts with […]

Automaker sees electrification and bespoke production as a chance to reinvent itself.
The Panamera was a joy on these roads in hybrid mode. The rear-steer shrinking the turning radius in the tight bits, the adaptive dampers soaking up everything the pavement had to offer and enhanced by the alarmingly small amount of body roll thanks to the active anti-roll bars underneath. Warning signs for slow curves? Forget about them in the Panamera, as long as you can see around the other side. The car just turned, stuck, and went in near silence.
But also unveiled some remarkable models slated to head to North America, at some point
Prince Edward Island will offer the highest used EV rebate in the country at $5,000, versus $2,000 offed for used EVs in neighbouring provinces.
Ford’s All-electric F-150 Lightning Pickup, Coming Next Spring is clearly a milestone vehicle for Ford. and the entire North American auto industry.
A rare case of form over function at Toyota
Production 2023 Cadillac Lyriq debuts with healthy 480 km range: The mid-size all-electric Lyriq will start at $69,898 including freight and destination
As a result, the RAV4 – like the Corolla, or the Chevrolet Impala once was, or the Ford Escape – has always had the acrimonious “this is what you think of when you hear the word ‘car’” designation; that is to say notable and popular, but also ubiquitous and gone from memory soon as it passes through your direct line of sight at the intersection.

Who knew you could get compact car fuel mileage in a big seven-passenger minivan? The 2021 Toyota Sienna features a hybrid powertrain.
Fast forward to today and when you consider the Kicks’ sub-$20,000 starting price (recall that the Micra once had a sub-$10,000 starting price, a big deal this day in age) and you can see that now that the Micra is no more in this market, the Kicks slots in nicely as a bit of an alternative. It’s a cool-looking and sparkly thing and it forms an intriguing proposition as a result.
The number of new EVs arriving in the Canadian market for Q2 is not huge, but includes some significant launches
Enter the Mitsubishi Mirage. While other automakers are dropping their subcompact cars – Nissan Micra? Gone. Hyundai Accent? Gone. Toyota Yaris and Mazda2? Long gone – here’s Mitsubishi putting another refresh on its itty-bitty hatch, and all while rebranding itself as an SUV-focused brand.
