2027 VW Atlas Redesign: A Polished Evolution with Familiar Trade-offs

The 2027 Volkswagen Atlas arrives as a significant refresh of the brand’s best-selling US SUV, featuring a new exterior, a more upscale cabin, and a slightly more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. While the interior gains premium materials and larger screens, reviewers note that driving dynamics remain comfortable rather than sporty, and the lack of a hybrid option lags behind competitors. The vehicle is priced higher than rivals but offers improved fuel efficiency and a refined, quiet ride.

Kia EV3 Launches as a Sub-$35k Crossover to Revive U.S. EV Demand

The 2027 Kia EV3 arrives as a compact electric crossover priced from $29,890, aiming to address the lack of affordable EV options in the U.S. market. With up to 321 miles of range and a design that mimics larger SUVs, it targets buyers priced out of the current average new vehicle transaction. While the base model offers limited range, higher trims provide robust features and all-wheel drive, positioning the EV3 as a key entry point for Kia’s electric lineup amidst a market recovering from the loss of federal tax credits.

Aston Martin Unveils DBX GT: A Luxury-First Pivot to Revive SUV Sales

Aston Martin has introduced the 2027 DBX GT, a high-end variant of its flagship SUV designed to prioritize refinement over raw performance.

Priced starting at approximately $262,000, the vehicle aims to attract buyers who prefer luxury over aggressive styling, potentially outperforming rivals like the Ferrari Purosangue and Lamborghini Urus. First deliveries are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

Ford Revives Classic Two-Tone Paint on 2027 F-150 via Custom Garage

Ford is reintroducing traditional two-tone paint options for the 2027 F-150 through its Custom Garage division. The package features a horizontal midband in white, grey, or black that contrasts with the main body color. This option is available for crew cab XLT and Lariat models with 5.5-foot beds, allowing owners to mix any standard paint with the accent band. The design aims to visually lower the perceived height of modern trucks, which often appear taller due to large radiators and raised greenhouse lines. This move marks a return to a styling cue that had largely disappeared from mainstream production trucks in favor of single-color or roof-only accents.

GM Confirms 8.3L Duramax 'Mongoose' Diesel for HD Trucks to Counter Ford

General Motors has officially confirmed the development of an 8.3-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V8, codenamed 'Mongoose,' for the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD. This engine is designed to outperform Ford’s 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel, which is nicknamed the 'Scorpion.' While specific horsepower and torque figures remain undisclosed, the new unit is expected to exceed 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque. This move follows GM’s recent launch of new small-block V8s for its half-ton trucks, marking the first time a Duramax in a pickup exceeds 6.6 liters since 2000.

BMW M2 adds all-wheel-drive for 2027, while keeping a rear-drive option

BMW’s US site leaked a 2027 M2 xDrive with AWD and an eight-speed automatic, to be sold alongside the existing rear-drive M2. Autocar expects a rear-biased AWD with a full rear-drive mode, and power around the M2 CS level (about 523 hp and 479 lb-ft), with a weight near 3,970 lb and a potential sub-3.7-second 0–60 mph time. The leak also hints at broader 2027 updates (3 Series M350 xDrive, iX3/iX4, X5, 7 Series 740 xDrive) and notes some models like the X4 and 8 Series may be discontinued.
