MINI has announced its 2018 New York Auto Show lineup and there’s a surprise waiting.

The 2018 Fiat 500 lineup is being updated with a new version of the Urbana Edition.

The refreshed 2019 Toyota Yaris Sedan has debuted before the 2018 New York Auto Show. 

Mediocrity is born from being lazy and too comfortable and Hyundai is not having any of that.

After going from the people’s car to the hippie’s car and, finally, to the car of semi-urban professional couples with no kids, Volkswagen’s retro Beetle has entered the home stretch.

The Smart EQ Fortwo Coupe and Cabrio are making their debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

It’s rare that a modern car stands out not just for what it is, but also the potential for what it could be.

Just like the Jeep Renegade, the Fiat 500X is due for a facelift for the 2019 model year.

The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta is all business, as buttoned down as a German civil servant and nearly as free of smiles.

The affordable and sensible Toyota Corolla may not be the sexiest car out there, but it appeals to so many buyers and offers a sentimentality that is almost unrivaled in the business.

Subaru has dropped a teaser for a really cool wagon that we’re never going to get in North America.

Tesla recorded losses of $675.4 million in the three months ending December 2017 – the largest quarterly loss the American electric vehicle maker has posted to date.

Fiat is turning the wick up for 2018. Its iconic 500 subcompact gets standard turbo power, a welcome upgrade.

Given the recent introduction of a new Expedition, EcoSport, refreshed Edge, and reborn Ranger, it’s easy to forget Ford still sells small cars.

Another Detroit Auto Show is in the books – THANK GOODNESS!

Mercedes-Benz has revealed the front end of its new A-Class compact car ahead of its debut in early February.

Spy photographers have caught the Mini Cooper E testing for the first time.

Volkswagen shared the first preview image of the MK8 Golf during the Golf 8 Supplier Summit in Wolfsburg Monday.

Crossovers outsold traditional cars in North America last year. It’s no secret that people love crossovers, so why is Kia showing off a new generation of its Forte compact sedan rather than debuting some sort of jacked-up off-roader?

Another Detroit Auto Show is in the books and though there were no huge surprises or show-stealing reveals, it was still quite the spectacle.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ passenger car business seems like a complete mess.

The Golf might get all of the glory, but the Jetta is, and always has been, the sales star in Volkswagen’s North American crown.

The 2019 Kia Forte spiced things up at this year’s (typically frigid) Detroit Auto Show with a hot new look and some fancy new tech under the hood that will help the car achieve 35 mpg combined.

Honda is set to unveil its 2019 Insight prototype at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show. This all-new hybrid is estimated to deliver 50 miles per gallon along with segment-leading interior space and room for five adults.

The updated 2019 MINI Cooper will make its first public appearance at the upcoming 2018 Detroit Auto Show.

You might believe the cheaper a car, the less it costs to fix after a collision. But that’s not necessarily the case.

MINI is the first automaker in the U.S. to offer customizable parts through procedures such as 3D printing.

Shopping for a vehicle is no easy task, especially with so many competitors in each segment.

It’s been a big year for the automotive industry.

Each year, Wards Auto counts down the 10 Best Engines it came across over the previous 12 months.

Although it just released the T-Roc this year, Volkswagen is already working on the T-Cross, another, even smaller sub-compact SUV based on the Polo and here’s our best look yet at the car testing in Finland.

The new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is exactly what the automaker needs and what many customers want, with a splash of unique styling and high tech goodies to round out the package.

Deep in the desert of Arizona, AutoGuide.com got a brief preview of a prototype for the upcoming 2019 Volkswagen Jetta. After putting it through its paces, we came away quite impressed with this seventh-generation version of VW’s compact sedan.

When the original Nissan Leaf debuted eight years ago, it was hailed as the affordable electric vehicle. At the time, its range was low, but as one of the first mass-market EVs, it quickly grew a cult-like following for its technology and spaceship looks.

The Mazda3 and Mazda6 are two very strong competitors in their respective segments, but there’s one thing missing from the vehicles: all-wheel drive.

Up until now, most automakers hawking electric vehicles, especially in the compact segment, have made driving range the juiciest upgrade available to potential buyers. BMW, however, has chosen a different tack by promising more smiles per mile, rather than miles per charge, with the latest iteration of its entry-level EV, the i3s.

Nissan is finally bringing the Kicks to North America after being available in Brazil, Mexico, and China. The little crossover made its debut at the 2017 L.A. Auto Show.

The MINI brand we know and love today in the U.S. might not be the same in a few years.

Even though it’s a symbol of the exuberant ‘60s, the Mini was actually born to deal with the austerity of post-war England and skyrocketing fuel prices thanks to a crisis in the Suez Canal.

Considering Ken Block’s day job is rallying and creating his epic Gymkhana video series, we always assumed he would have some cool daily drivers, but his grocery getters turned out to be even better than we thought.

Mercedes-Benz is in the process of developing a next-generation A-Class sedan/hatch, and it’s now shared photos of the all-new compact’s surprisingly luxurious interior.

Pricing for the all-new 2018 Hyundai Accent has been announced, starting from $15,880 including destination.

With the update to the 2018 Volkswagen Golf family comes a new transmission. For now, only one car in all of North America can be purchased with VW’s seven-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission and it is, of course, the Golf R. But can it hold a candle to the manual transmission?

If you want to go fast, there are plenty of cars on the market today that can deliver bucket-loads of speed, but certain high-performance models are best avoided.

Okay, the “V” stood for “versatility,” but the largest Toyota Prius family member’s obvious usefulness hasn’t earned it a lasting place in the American automotive landscape.

The clerk at the liquor store didn’t ask for my ID the last time I went and it sent me spiraling because I began to realize a few things about my age.

The Hyundai Accent has been totally redone for the 2018 model year and this is interesting because the subcompact segment isn’t doing too hot right now — everyone is making the move to crossovers.

The small crossover segment has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years.

Volkswagen recently launched the Golf R Performance in Europe, an extra special Golf R fitted with an Akrapovic exhaust system, extra slippery body panels, and bigger brakes.

It’s a symptom of the universe that the slow death of small cars in the United States is heralded by perhaps the best crop of safe, efficient, and affordable compact and subcompact vehicles to have ever been available to budget-conscious buyers.

The Honda Civic Type R will soldier on for the 2018 model year with a single available trim and a similar price tag. 

Never mind competing with EVs from other manufacturers. With each passing month, it becomes ever clearer that the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt competes directly with another General Motors stablemate: the Chevrolet Volt.

My logical mind is constantly in conflict with the devil on my shoulder, who is a bit of a rogue and a lot more entertaining, but sometimes tells me to do dumb things.

At the Frankfurt Motor Show last month, we all fell head-over-heels in love with Honda’s adorable Urban EV Concept. Anyway, they’re not done wowing us yet because they just unveiled a similar design study at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show.
