Passenger Screen Plague: No One Uses Them
______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[9-2-26 ] Every brand seems to be coming out with their own take on the Passenger Screen these days, and us journalists frequently sigh at their irrelevance. Why? Most passengers will be interacting with their phone, tablet, or some other personal device more often. And now there’s some industry data to prove it. JD Power’s recent tech survey sampled nearly 70,000 vehicle owners of 2026 or newer models over 40 different car tech features. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏁
🏁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The data found that 35% of owners never used it at all, 6% saying they use it frequently. Additionally, JD power noted 21.3 problems per 100 vehicles with passenger displays. This stat is very high compared to Smart Key ignition, which rated 2.4 problems per 100 vehicles. Overall, Cadillac, Genesis and BMW earned the top 3 points for vehicle tech among premium brands while Hyundai GMC and Kia topped the mainstream brands for user experiences.

2027 Range Rover Electric Configurator 🇬🇧
______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[9-1-26 /// Images by: JLR ] The Range Rover Electric configurator is already live and you can order one today. It starts at $138,000 for the EV550 in SE Standard Wheelbase, the same price as the V8 option. Long Wheelbase Autobiography starts at $179,500. The EV can be had in every single trim from SV, SV Black, SV Ultra, 5 passenger and 7 passenger. There also is a unique First Edition EV Starting at $176,700. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏁 Spec sheet: The Range Rover EV is powered by 2 permanent magnetic eMotors, a new 118.5kWh, 800v stacked prismatic battery system and 542HP & 627 lb-ft of torque. EPA range sits at 333 Miles and it will be offered alongside the V8, Inline-6 and PHEV variants. 0-60MPH happens in 4.3 seconds. DC Fast charging at 350kW takes 22min from 10-80%. LVL 2 is up to 19.2kW. The battery is also backed by an 8 year/160,000 mile warranty. NACS is standard in the USA. It’s only 162lbs heavier than the Range Rover PHEV! 🏁

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From rear steering to 1-pedal drive, and an even more comfortable suspension, it means business. Thanks to the floor mounted battery, the EV MLAFlex body has 50% better torsional rigidity too. We built a Twilight Mauve SV Long Wheelbase EV with options coming in at $279k. The 2027 Range Rover also is introducing a new cabin perfume option and a whole set of unique wheels on the EV powertrain.

Jensen Interceptor Returns 🇬🇧
______________________________________
[9-4-26 /// Image by: Jensen International Automotive ] The Jensen Interceptor is back as a whole family of British GTs. The revived brand has shown off a track going Interceptor GTX along with road going models. The GTX will be made first, with 80% of the design translated to road models. It looks proper too with a long hood, long body, and unique glass dome rear end. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏁 Spec Sheet: Under the hood is a 6.8L V8 bored out from a GM sourced 6.2L, making 960HP or 1,200HP. It was built in Texas with a 2.65L supercharger. Power is sent to a rear mounted 6-speed manual through a carbon driveshaft. Upcoming road going variants will have an Automatic or manual gearbox. 🏁

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Outside also is a hand formed aluminum body sitting over a classic British bonded aluminum chassis. Suspension is double wishbone up front, adjustable dampers, hydraulic steering and the GTX gets up to 772lbs of downforce with aggressive aero. Inside the GTX also are carbon bucket seats, roll cage and more.

ACN EXTRA: With an engine made in Texas, would be cool to see these in the US.

What’s New With The 2026 Mazda CX-5? 🇯🇵
______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[7–1-26 /// Image by: Allcarnews ] We lived with the new Mazda CX-5 in Premium Plus trim for 1-Week and we found it to be very different yet still a Mazda. The CX-5 remains stylish inside and out, fantastic to drive despite no more Turbo option, and now larger than ever with a 4in wheelbase stretch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏁 Spec sheet:
2.5L Skyactiv-G 4-cylinder
187HP & 186 lb-ft of torque
6-speed auto / i-Activ AWD
Curb Weight: 3881 lb
Combined/City/Highway: 26/24/30 mpg
Premium Plus MSRP: $40,485
As Tested: $41,080🏁

How was it?
While we lament the loss of the Turbo-4 option, the new CX-5 impresses in rear legroom and an overall premium feel and stand out driving characteristics in this segment. From plenty of standard safety equipment, to a great HUD, power mirrors, ambient lighting, the CX-5 feels above most competitors. The loss of nearly all buttons is alarming inside - thankfully Mazda cleverly added essentials to the steering wheel - though the center console feels lonely. The new software is quick, responsive, well laid out, and offers a premium feel. Our only main complaint is the fussy climate controls and abnormally small bar for seat climate/additional climate settings. We also wish the Google assistant could command more features.

New 2028 Scout Traveler Concepts 🇺🇸
______________________________________
[9-3-26 /// Image by: Scout ] As Scout motors is gearing up to complete their new factory in Blythewood, Sourh Carolina, some more updates are in store for the Traveler SUV before they even enter production. Here we see the Mountainside and Trail-Ready concepts. The Mountainside focuses on luxury with a Morning Dusk paint, golden highlights, no roof rack or spare tires, and 22in wheels. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏁 Spec Sheet: Both the Terra and Traveler are full EVs though there is the Harvester range extending system. Pure EV models are expected to have 350 miles of range from around a 120kWh battery, while range extenders at around 500 miles. 0-60 will happen around 3.5 seconds thanks to 1,000 lb-ft of torque. All Scouts will come with a NACS port, 800v systems, and V2L. The Harvester will use a rear mounted naturally aspirated VW group engine that won’t power the wheels and will be super quiet and smooth. 🏁

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Inside the Mountainside also is the Alpine District theme with leather seats and plaid centers, unique recycled walnut wood trim, panoramic roof, houndstooth upholstery, and more. Meanwhile the Trail-Ready concept featurs a Galvanized Steel finish with a canvas painted roof, Cabana retractable top, off road bumpers, winch, rock rails, beadlock wheels, 35in rubber, skid plated and more.

POLESTAR 4 VS POLESTAR 4
_____________________________________
[9–2-26 ] The all new Polestar 4 “SUV” is here, will not be coming to the USA, and looks fantastic. Now this is more raised wagon than actual SUV, but it looks even better than the Polestar 4, has a rear window, increased trunk space, and plenty of features. thankfully was able to drive a 2026 Polestar 4 earlier this year - check out our review on that. It’s unfortunate Polestar will not be here as a brand as of 2027. Hopefully they will return once the current US administration departs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⚡️ Spec Sheet: The 4 SUV will come in 2 flavors, RWD or AWD, with the dual motor option getting 544HP and 506 lb-ft of torque capable of 0-60 in 3.9sec. The single motor gets 268HP and 253 lb-ft of torque. Both models get a 100kWh battery pack with 200kW DC Fast charging, a heat pump and V2L. This is good for 391 WLTP miles or 373 miles on the AWD. If this were coming to the USA, EPA would rate it around 300-330miles. ⚡️

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There also is a camp mode, electrochromatic glass roof, standard roof rails, body cladding, new wheels and tires, new colors, and of course a rear wiper. It has 4.6 cu ft more space behind the second row than the normal Polestar 4, up to 23 cu ft. Total cargo room is .

BREAKING: Mitsubishi Pajero Returns 🇯🇵
______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[9-2-26 /// Images by: Mitsubishi] Mitsubishi is making a massive comeback with the return of the Pajero (Montero) body on frame SUV. It will not be launching in the US… for now, but will be sold in nearly 100 global markets. It looks good too, with distinctive LED lights, a bold boxy body, and proper off road proportions with a 113in wheelbase. Under the skin is a body on frame platform shared with the Triton pickup truck with increased stiffness, a off road designed wishbone suspension, 5 link solid rear axle, and a new S-AWC (super all wheel control) system with 4WD, active yaw control, active stability, and more. From 9.1in of ground clearance, 30.4 degrees approach, 22.6 degrees breakover, and 25.8 degrees departure angle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏁 Spec sheet: Under the hood is a 2.4L Turbo diesel 4-cylinder with around 354 lb-ft of torque and upcoming electrified options. This is sent through an 8-speed auto. It will be built in Thailand. 🏁

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Inside is rather nice and uses Nissan derived software for the 14.3 in dual displays with 16 unique themes, custom off road gauges and more. There even is laminated glass, sound insulation, a 12 speaker Yamaha audio system, 3D cameras and more. The Pajero isn’t coming alone either, it’s a whole family! The brand announced “Pajero” will become a sort of sub-brand, with a small Japanese market Kei-car, crossover SUV and more to come. One of those variants may make it to the US market by 2030..
Hopefully.

BREAKING: 2027 Range Rover Electric 🇬🇧
______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[9-1-26 /// Images by: JLR ] The Range Rover Electric is officially here and is way more significant than you think. Visually, it’s identical to the combustion Range Rover thanks to the modular MLA Flex platform. Save for the flush grille and EV wheel cap logos. The entire powertrain, motors, batteries are all made in house in the UK and they all are advanced and JLR filed 300 new patents for the tech. It retains all the off road chops with 35in of water wade depth, and a new Traction Management System can make motor adjustments in just 50 milliseconds. There’s even a 1-Pedal off road mode & it comes packed with 8in of ground clearance, 33.20 approach, 28° departur, and 22.3° breakover angles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏁 Spec sheet: The Range Rover EV is powered by 2 permanent magnetic eMotors, a new 118.5kWh, 800v stacked prismatic battery system and 542HP & 627 lb-ft of torque. EPA range sits at 333 Miles and it will be offered alongside the V8, Inline-6 and PHEV variants. 0-60MPH happens in 4.3 seconds. DC Fast charging at 350kW takes 22min from 10-80%. LVL 2 is up to 22kW. The battery is also backed by an 8 year/100,000 mile warranty. NACS is standard in the USA. It’s only 162lbs heavier than the Range Rover PHEV! 🏁

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From rear steering to 1-pedal drive, and an even more comfortable suspension, it means business. Thanks to the floor mounted battery, the EV MLAFlex body has 50% better torsional rigidity too. The EV also can be had in any combustion Range Rover trim, from entry SE up to SV Ultra, and long or short wheelbases. Over 80,000 buyers have shown interest already so these may be hard to get for awhile!
