The Smallest G-Class Is Being Built in Hungary, and It Won’t Be Electric Only

The boxy little Mercedes that fans have been asking about for years is finally close, and two big details just came into focus. It's coming out of Hungary rather than Germany, and buyers won't be forced into a battery-only version. Mercedes plans to build the smaller G-Class at its Kecskemét plant in Hungary starting next year The site is nearly doubling capacity and is set to become the company's largest factory in Europe An EV-only plan has been rethought, and hybrid combustion versions have been approved Why Hungary Got the Job The reasoning here isn't complicated.

What Big Families Should Look For in a Reliable Full-Size SUV

Shopping for a three-row hauler with room for a whole crew is a big financial decision, and the wrong pick can mean years of repair bills and roadside headaches.

Jaguar’s Bold Electric Rebirth Lands in New York This Fall

After years of teaser images and hushed promises, Jaguar is ready to pull the sheet off its Type 01 electric gran turismo, and it's picked one of the world's most dramatic backdrops to do it.

Jaguar will stage the official Type 01 debut in New York this October. The Type 01 is an all-electric gran turismo built to redefine the entire brand. Parent company JLR shared the timing during its 2026 Investor Day presentation. Why New York and Why Now There's a certain logic to choosing Manhattan in autumn.
