DoorDash's investment in Also aims to develop and accelerate the deployment of autonomous delivery at scale, focusing on areas not yet fully solved for, including intersections of roadways and bike lanes.

On average, fuel prices are up almost a dollar per gallon, or 25 percent, according to AAA. For a nation as addicted to the automotive as we are, that's bad news. Except, of course, for electric vehicles.

"The ID. Buzz continues to serve as an important halo product for the Volkswagen brand, and safeguarding its market presence remains a top priority."

Honda has slashed the price of the 2026 Prologue by $7,500 across the board, essentially replacing the lost tax incentive and making the crossover a much better deal among its peers.

The Skoda Peaq can seat up to seven people, with a maximum trunk volume of 35.7 cu-ft in its five-seater configuration and 10.6 cu-ft behind the third row in the seven-seater variant.

Aston Martin has produced a unique breed of grown-up supercars that demanded its own lane amongst the competition. Rolls-Royce focuses on luxury, Lamborghini on aggression, and Bugatti on speed, but Aston Martin blends style and civilized ferocity.

Hyundai is planning to discontinue its Ioniq 6 electric sedan from its U.S. lineup. The svelte sedan was a hit among electric vehicle enthusiasts and design aficionados, but it never sold as well as its crossover sibling, the Ioniq 5. Model year 2025 Ioniq 6 will continue to be available, but Hyundai will no longer ship the MY2026 versions to the U.S.

Toyota is turning the Highlander - one of its most established nameplates - into an EV. The 2027 model is the SUV's first ground-up redesign in more than a decade and will be Toyota's first three-row EV for the US market. It's also the first battery-electric Toyota to be assembled in America, with production set for Kentucky using US-made batteries.

This is the 2027 Toyota Highlander, an electric three-row SUV. Built in America with American-sourced batteries, the 2027 Highlander shows that Toyota is getting serious about EVs at a time when the competition is rearranging its priorities and betting more on hybrids. (Which, to be fair, Toyota is also doing.) With exterior dimensions similar to those of its gas-powered counterpart, the new Highlander will be available with two battery options and a maximum estimated range of 320 miles on a full charge.

Mazda will begin selling a new electric mid-size SUV in Europe this year. It's not coming to the U.S. The CX-6e will compete with models such as the Tesla Model Y, BMW iX3 and Audi Q4 e-tron. It looks sharp and gets a high-tech interior. Mazda has been late to the electric vehicle party, but it's finally picking up the pace in a market that doesn't reward laggards.

Tesla's answer to sagging sales over the last couple of years has generally been: "How about another Model Y?" It makes some sense, as the crossover is Tesla's best seller by far and the most popular electric vehicle on the planet. Last year, Tesla launched its first refresh of the Model Y in a bid to boost sales. It also rolled out a stretched-out Model YL in China.

The Hyundai Staria Electric is powered by an 84-kilowatt-hour battery that enables a WLTP combined range of 248 miles. It's not based on the E-GMP platform, but it borrows its best feature. This is the Hyundai Staria Electric, a battery-powered minivan that will compete with models like the Volkswagen ID. Buzz and Kia PV5 when it goes on sale later this year in Europe and Korea.
