Toyota Owners 400 Picks
The Toyota Owners 400 is the next race up in the NASCAR Monster Energy Series. Here are some drivers we like to contend for the win.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has teased the automaker’s upcoming semi-truck ahead of its debut in September. The teaser, revealed during a TED Talk featuring Musk, shows the front end of a very upright-looking truck with a striking set of headlights.
According to Electrek, Musk confirmed at the talk that a working prototype is already operational and that he’s had the opportunity to test drive one, saying it “feels like a sports car.” He also said the truck will be capable of long hauls, though he didn’t elaborate on its estimated range. Some have speculated that the truck will use solar panels on the trailer to help extend its range. There’s not much we can tell from this one shadowy photo except that the truck has no side mirrors.

Musk has said in the past that Tesla’s electric semi will reduce the cost of cargo transport and increase safety. Two of the biggest costs associated with heavy-duty trucks are fuel and the driver, so Tesla’s design will more than likely incorporate some form of Autopilot autonomous technology to maximize efficiency.
We’ll have to wait until September to find out more about what Tesla has planned, but for now this is our best look at the upcoming electric semi.

Permalink | Email this | CommentsMazda has cooked up a new crossover for the Japanese market called the CX-8. The three-row CUV will be smaller than the CX-9 we have here to better fit Japanese roads. Mazda has so far only revealed the crossover’s interior, but the automaker does give a few specs about this Japan-only model.
Mazda says the CX-8 was designed specifically to suit the Japanese market and is for customers who need more than five seats. The automaker also states that the CX-8 will be the flagship of its crossover lineup in Japan, as the CX-9 isn’t sold there. The CX-8 measures roughly 193 inches long, 72.4 inches wide, and 68.1 inches tall, with a wheelbase that’s 115.3 inches long. Those dimensions make the CX-8 about as wide as the new CX-5 with a wheelbase that’s identical to the CX-9’s. The CX-8 is 6.4 inches shorter in length than the CX-9 and 4.8 inches narrower. The CX-8 will offer seating for six or seven passengers, depending on the configuration.
“It has the looks, performance, and high-end feel customers expect from a Mazda, and even adults can sit comfortably in the third row,” said Mazda president and CEO Masamichi Kogai, in a release. “Mazda aims to create a strong emotional connection with customers, and we will achieve this by continually advancing our lineup to offer all customers our unique combination of driving pleasure and outstanding environmental and safety performance.”
The CX-8 will be powered by Mazda’s 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D turbodiesel engine, which will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Mazda is set to finally bring its diesel engine to the U.S. in the CX-5 later this year, but don’t expect the CX-8 to be brought over as well since we already have the larger three-row CX-9. We still don’t know what the CX-8 looks like, but Mazda says the crossover will incorporate its Kodo design language.

Agya Club IndonesiaHyundai has released a second teaser image previewing its Kona subcompact crossover. The model will make its official debut this summer before heading to the U.S. market in early 2018.
The teaser image gives us a clearer look at the Kona’s twin headlamps, which include LED daytime running lights that sit atop the LED headlights. The Kona adopts Hyundai’s cascading grille design that can be seen on new models including the 2018 Sonata and 2018 Elantra GT. Hyundai promises the Kona will have a wide stance, an elevated seating position, and “voluminous, aggressive body styling.”
Many of the design elements we see in the teaser image aren’t surprising, given that we spotted a Hyundai Kona prototype recently. Despite the heavy camouflage, we were able to notice that the model is rather small in size and has the appearance of a raised hatchback. Interior shots revealed a cabin layout similar to the Elantra GT’s, with a free-standing touchscreen positioned in the middle of the dash.
Engine options remain unclear, but Hyundai says the Kona will offer optional all-wheel drive. The new model is expected to compete against the Mazda CX-3, Honda HR-V, Toyota C-HR, Nissan Juke, and Chevrolet Trax.
Before it arrives in the U.S., the Kona will launch in the Korean market this summer. It will also be an important product in Europe, where Hyundai has set a goal of becoming the leading Asian automotive brand by 2021. The automaker will launch 30 new or revised models in Europe to help it achieve this goal.
