Nissan released a new video to tease its upcoming new models, which included our first look at the much anticipated 2021 Z sports car. From what we can tell, the new Nissan Z confirms previous reports that suggested it will draw inspiration from the original 240Z for its styling, featuring cleaner lines than the 370Z but without looking too retro. The front end of the 2021 Z is getting a pair of LED headlights shaped in a circle as a tribute to the iconic 240Z while the front grille appears to be model-specific and not related to the V-Motion design language of the brand. The roofline slopes towards the back in typical Z fashion but the rear end appears to be less rounded compared to the 370Z and more like the classic Z models. The new model is reportedly going to be based on a revised version of the 370Z platform. Other than that, there isn’t much official information on Nissan’s new sports car. Power is expected to come from a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine, the same one as featured

Mercedes-Benz has spread out its mid-cycle facelift for the E-Class with the presentation of the 2021 sedan, wagon and All Terrain Wagon in March this year being followed today by the unveiling of the long teased Coupe and Convertible models in both regular and E53 AMG forms. It’s nothing groundbreaking with the revised two-door variants sporting minor exterior and interior styling tweaks, new technologies and updated powertrain offerings. Mercedes has a good thing going with the E-Class Coupe and Convertible, as admittedly, both are some of the most elegant looking proposals in the market. As such, there was no reason to ruin a successful formula with deep styling cuts. The most noticeable changes are the newly shaped grille and crispier light treatments on both ends, with the nose looking more upright this time around. There are four new paint colors too, named Cirrus Silver Metallic, Graphite Grey Metallic, Mojave Silver Metallic and designo Patagonia Red Metallic. The wheel line-up

MINI has taken the wraps off the 2021 Countryman, ahead of its launch later this year. Looking instantly recognizable, the facelifted crossover has a revised grille that is flanked by new LED headlights. The model also has modified bumpers, restyled wheels and new Union Jack LED taillights. While the styling changes are relatively modest, designers also gave the Countryman a revised color palette that now includes White Silver Metallic and Sage Green Metallic.  There’s also a new Piano Black Exterior package which swaps chrome for high-gloss black accents on the headlight surrounds, grille and door handles. The updates continue in the cabin as drivers will find a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and a newly optional digital instrument cluster.  The model also boasts revised trim and updated infotainment systems with 8.8-inch displays.  Speaking of the latter, certain systems now support Amazon Alexa.  Last but not least, there are two new leather options called Chesterfield Malt Br

Premiering alongside the updated 2021 BMW 5-Series is this; the 2021 BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo. It benefits from similar design changes to the 5-Series and while it isn’t sold in the U.S. and has now been killed off in the UK. Set to be manufactured at BMW’s plant in Dingolfing alongside the 7-Series and 8-Series, the new 6-Series Gran Turismo retains the same dimensions as the current model, meaning it is 5,091 mm (200.4 inches) long, 1,902 mm (74.8 inches) wide, and 1,538 mm (60.5 inches) tall. It also retains a 3,070 mm (120.8 inch) wheelbase. Located at the front end is a slightly enlarged kidney grille complemented by standard full-LED headlights that include an adaptive cornering function and the BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling high-beam assistant with matrix technology. There are also two L-shaped daytime running lights incorporated into the headlight units and doubling as turn signals. Customers have the option of Adaptive LED headlights with matrix function and BMW LaserLight

This is the facelifted 2021 BMW 5-Series, complete with a sharp new look and bringing with it a host of new technologies. The exterior design is easily discernible from the outgoing 5-Series model. Found up front are new standard Adaptive LED headlights that are slimmer in profile and complete with two L-shaped daytime running lights. These DRLs double as the turn signals. Spin around to the rear and you will find new taillights and trapezoidal tailpipes. Changes have also been made to the M Sport Package with new front and rear bumpers, enlarged front air intakes, a rear trunk lid spoiler, and a re-sculpted rear diffuser. Interior updates are quite subtle. All variants come complete with BMW’s iDrive 7 infotainment system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display and include navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. There is also a 12.3-inch digital instrument display. In the U.S., all four-cylinder and six-cylinder models come equipped with new Perforated SensaTec upholstery with contr

The 2021 Porsche 911 Targa 4 and 911 Targa 4S models have been unveiled by the German carmaker. Like previous iterations of the 911 Targa, this new one features an automatic roof system that includes a wraparound rear window that Porsche says can be opened and closed in just 19 seconds. Both the 911 Targa 4 and 911 Targa 4S models feature a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine. In Targa 4 guise this engine delivers 380 hp at 6,500 rpm and 331 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque between 1,950 rpm and 5,000 rpm. By comparison, the 911 Targa 4S churns out 444 hp and 391 lb-ft (530 Nm) of torque from 2,300 rpm to 5,000 rpm. Porsche says the 911 Targa 4 will hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.2 seconds while the Targa 4S will reach the same mark in 3.6 seconds. Top speed for the Targa 4 and Targa 4S sit at 179 mph (289 km/h) and 189 mph (304 km/h) respectively. Both models feature an eight-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission and intelligent all-wheel drive Porsche Traction Manageme

The Toyota Venza is back after an absence of nearly five years. Essentially a renamed Harrier, the 2021 Venza will go on sale in the United States this summer and be offered exclusively with a hybrid powertrain. Speaking of the latter, the model is equipped with a new hybrid system that features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, three electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack that resides beneath the rear seats. It enables the crossover to have a combined output of 219 hp (163 kW / 222 PS) and a combined fuel economy rating of approximately 40 mpg. The crossover also comes standard with Toyota’s electric on-demand all-wheel drive system. It features a rear-mounted electric motor that can provide additional traction when needed. Toyota says the system works “seamlessly and transparently,” and can vary torque distribution depending on conditions. Toyota didn’t say much about the Venza’s exterior, but it’s almost identical to the Japanese Harrier.  As a result, the cros

Toyota has lifted the veils off the all-new 2021 Sienna minivan, the fourth-generation of the popular nameplate. Designed, engineered and assembled in the United States, the 2021 Toyota Sienna adopts a bolder design that’s inline with the brand’s latest models, comes with a standard hybrid powertrain and Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite, and offers available all-wheel drive. Based on the TNGA-K platform, the fourth-gen Sienna features a more daring design that Toyota says is influenced by SUVs and Japan’s Shinkansen ‘bullet train’. The minivan sports strong and robust proportions thanks to the shoulder-themed body design, muscular wheel flares and boldly sculpted surfaces. The front end features high-set headlights that interact with the small upper grille via chrome trim and the bold lower grille via the creases at their center. At the back, the 2021 Toyota Sienna sports LED taillights with an integrated black canard that’s said to improve aerodynamic performance, as well as

After a lengthy teaser campaign, Meizu finally unveiled its latest flagships with the Meizu 17 and 17 Pro. Spec-wise the two are nearly identical with the Pro featuring better auxiliary cameras, wireless charging and faster RAM. Visually the two are also almost indistinguishable with the only difference being the 17 Pro comes with a ceramic back. These are also the first 5G entries in Meizu's lineup. The Meizu 17 duo is built around 6.6-inch Super AMOLED displays with 90Hz refresh rate and a first for Meizu punch-hole cutout for the 20MP selfie camera. The panels come with an in-display fingerprint scanner, 19.5:9 aspect ratio and are HDR 10+ compliant. There’s also a dual speaker setup and Meizu’s new mEngine 3.0 haptic engine. Around the back, both phones rely on the 64MP Sony IMX686 as their primary shooter. The Meizu 17 Pro brings an 8MP telephoto module that promises up to 8x lossless zoom as well as a 32MP ultrawide shooter capable of capturing 129° stills. The fourth
