The Chinese Brand That Didn’t Exist In Britain A Year Ago Just Outsold Honda And Mazda Combined

Image
Chery brand reached 2 percent market share less than one year after UK arrival. It logged 3,212 sales in July, 300 more than Honda and Mazda put together. Sister brands include Jaecoo, which has two models in top 10 best-sellers list. Launching a new car brand is supposed to take years. Chery appears to have skipped that chapter. Less than a year after registering its first customer cars in Britain, the Chinese automaker has already grabbed a 2 percent market share, and last month sold more cars than Honda and Mazda combined. July was Chery’s strongest month yet. The company registered 3,212 SUVs, according to Britain’s Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), comfortably beating Honda ‘s 1,362 and even edging past Honda and Mazda put together, with the Japanese pair managing a combined 2,912 registrations.

Trump Says EV Drivers Have A ‘Disease’

Image
Trump called EV range anxiety a “disease” during remarks in Las Vegas. No federal rule ever required Americans to purchase an electric vehicle. EVs held a 5.8 percent U.S. market share in the second quarter. Electric cars do not work for everybody. They can be a terrible fit for apartment dwellers without dependable charging, certain rural routes, and buyers who regularly tow long distances. But President Trump took the familiar issue of range anxiety and turned it into “a disease” during remarks in Las Vegas on Wednesday. Speaking at the Red Rock Resort, Trump claimed he had “ended the electric mandate,” before suggesting that previous policy would have required everyone to drive an EV “within a very short period of time.” He said EV drivers begin worrying about where to charge when their battery is still three-quarters full, calling them “crazy.” These are real statements that were...

Ford’s Terrified Of Chinese Automakers, But GM Just Inked A 20-Year Deal With One

Image
GM and SAIC Motor have extended their partnership for 20 years. Companies will launch at least 30 new energy vehicles by 2030. Buick and Cadillac will apparently take on a bigger role in China. The tide has turned against foreign automakers in China, which once enjoy great success in the country. While German companies are among the hardest hit , General Motor sold almost a million new energy vehicles last year. The company and its joint ventures also delivered nearly 1.9 million vehicles, which was a 2.3% increase from 2024. Given that, it’s little surprise General Motors and SAIC Motor have announced plans to extend their joint venture partnership for another 20 years. This means it will extend to 2047, which is 50 years after it originally began in 1997.

Maserati Realized Nobody Wants Quiet Supercars, Now It Wants The V8 Back

Image
Maserati chief engineer hints at a potential return of the V8. A manual gearbox is also under evaluation for limited editions. The Trident brand aims to capture fans of combustion engines. Maserati looks to be rethinking its long-term product strategy as the market shifts beneath it, and that rethink may bring back V8 power and three-pedal manuals for a handful of limited-run models. The brand had leaned hard on its twin-turbo Nettuno V6 as the internal combustion centerpiece, a stopgap ahead of a full-electric future that has since been scrapped. Now the people in charge concede what enthusiasts have been saying all along. Some buyers want more cylinders, and Maserati has the hardware in its history to give it to them. Building the Case For Eight Cylinders Speaking to Australian outlet Carsales , Maserati engineering boss Davide Danesin said: “My personal opinion is yes. I think the V8 could potentially be coming back… I...

Golf R Power In An SUV Sounds Great Even If America Won’t Get One

Image
First-ever Tiguan R inherits Golf R power and sharper driving dynamics. Quad exhausts distinguish true R flagship SUV from lookalike R-Line trim. America misses out because its latest Tiguan is actually Europe’s Tayron. Fast SUVs are everywhere these days, but Volkswagen has been strangely quiet where its popular compact Tiguan was concerned, while rivals piled on the horsepower. That is set to change soon, because the first proper Tiguan R is edging closer to production, and these latest spy shots don’t leave much to the imagination. Snapped just as it was heading to the Nürburgring to put in some hot test laps, the Pure White prototype wasn’t wearing a stitch of camo, meaning we could see exactly what it will look like when it debuts later this year, Audi wheels apart. The aggressive front bumper, larger cooling intakes, quad exhaust tips and even an R badge tucked beside the headlights all point to a model that...
