Land Rover’s Evoque hides off-road tech behind a luxury SUV

[ad_1] The Evoque (starting at $42,650) is the baby of the Range Rover lineup. It’s smaller, less expensive and it’s one of the best selling vehicles in the automaker’s stable. And it’s no wonder. It shares the interior luxury, off-road attributes and asphalt driving experience found in other Land Rover vehicles with an updated tech […]

The Polestar 2 is more than just a pretty face

[ad_1] This meant we had to wait until we hit the ground in Geneva to check out the first electric vehicle from (parent brand) Volvo. What we encountered was a vehicle that’s nearly on par design-wise with the breathtaking (yet hybrid) Polestar 1. This shouldn’t be too surprising considering that a focus on design is […]

Riding in Tesla’s very quick Model Y crossover

[ad_1] The newest Tesla didn’t disappoint off the line. With a zero to 60 potential of 3.5 seconds, the dual-motor variant of the vehicle they drove us in was quick. It kept me glued to my seat as it burned through electrons. There’s no ludicrous mode, but its acceleration should keep its future owners happy. […]

Tesla unveils its Model Y crossover

[ad_1] With an estimated 300 mile range and current starting price of $42,700 (a 230 mile, $39,000 Standard will begin production in 2021), the Model Y buts up against offerings from Kia and Hyundai. But once you start stacking features into the vehicle, it starts bleeding into the range of Audi’s E-Tron and Jaguar’s I-Pace. […]

Samsung imagines full-screen phone with a camera hidden under the display

[ad_1] The Galaxy S10 was the company’s first phone to include a “hole-punch” cut-out in the display, but Yang says that eventually, the selfie camera will be placed underneath the display itself. While the company hasn’t revealed any timescales for such a device, Yang did say that it “wouldn’t be possible” within the next one […]

Facebook is using AR to bring a massive mural to life

[ad_1] Down the road, the company plans to expand its “AR/T” program to other places in the US and abroad, as it looks to work with more local artists and developers on ways to put a technology twist on their art. “We feel really strongly about the value of the analog, like the materials,” Jessica […]

The Rolls Royce Cullinan is the nicest office you’ll never sit in

[ad_1] The $325,000 Cullinan is an exercise in combining the latest automotive tech with old-school money. It’s named after the largest diamond ever discovered. That gem currently sits embedded in the Queen of England’s Imperial State Crown. Sure, the name is a bit on the nose for a high-end British brand, but even with that […]

Valve laid off 13 employees working on virtual reality

[ad_1] “Last month, 13 full time employees were let go and a portion of our contractor agreements were terminated,” a spokesperson said. “It’s an unfortunate part of business, but does not represent any major changes at the company. We thank those affected for their contribution and wish them well in future endeavors.” UploadVR found the […]

Nissan’s IMQ concept looks more like a stealth fighter than a crossover

[ad_1] Concept cars are traditionally an exercise in what’s potentially possible in the future. For Nissan (like nearly every other automaker at the Geneva Motor Show), the future is electric and autonomous. The IMQ crossover concept vehicle uses Nissan’s e-Power hybrid system that the company has been using in Japan. The automaker used the vehicle […]

Audi’s E-Tron line gets a bit more crowded with the Q4 crossover concept

[ad_1] Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the new Q4 E-Tron Concept takes the formula of the automaker’s electric EV and shrinks it down a bit. The vehicle has an expected range of 280 miles and will probably compete with the Tesla Model Y more than the Model X. The crossover will be the first […]
