They cover the demise of the Chevy Malibu (again), BMW's aversion to building a pickup, Tesla's Supercharger situation (and the company's broader headcount initiatives) and Rivian's big Q1 drubbing. From there, it's time to talk some cars. Pras got to spend some time in a Porsche 911 T, and both he and Greg have sampled the new Kia EV9. Greg also has the latest on Autoblog's long-term Mazda CX-90, and Pras talks about spending some time with the BMW X5 PHEV.Tesla layoffs, new safety mandates, and a bumper crop of V12s! | Autoblog Podcast 830Autoblog2024-05-03 | In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a gasoline-powered installment. They lead off by diving into the Tesla layoff news from this week before leaving electrification behind for a bit to talk about not one, but two production V12 unveilings. This isn't a drill, folks; Aston Martin and Ferrari are both committed. After that, they touch on the U.S. government announcement that it would mandate automatic emergency braking systems starting in 2029. They finish up the news segment with a chat about Fisker. Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests. The Autoblog team has been testing out some EVs and both Byron and Greg had some thoughts to share, plus we get a final update from Byron on the long-term Subaru WRX and some notes from both drivers about the updated Range Rover Evoque.

It also celebrates the tenth anniversary of the trim level's introduction. Like all Rebels, it gets an off-road front bumper, skid plate, 1-inch suspension lift, 33-inch tires on 17-inch wheels and a softer rear anti-roll bar. But it also throws in the features from the Rebel Level 2 package with a panoramic sunroof, heated front and rear seats big infotainment screen for the middle and the passenger. Plus it gets lots of red accents in the interior, including the high-bolster seats and the G/T package's console shifter and shift paddles. Under the hood is the twin-turbo 3.0-liter Hurricane straight-six with 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque. It all goes for $66,190.
#ram #ram1500 #rebel #truck #trucks #cars #car2025 Ram 1500 RHO revealedAutoblog2024-04-25 | The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is the latest high-performance off-road truck from the truck brand. It features basically the same chassis hardware as the supercharged V8 TRX, but now features the high-output version of the Hurricane twin-turbo inline-6. It makes 540 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque coupled to an eight-speed automatic. The new engine means the truck weighs 150 pounds less than the TRX, and it still gets to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, just 0.1 behind the TRX. It also has better towing and payload capacity than the TRX, as well as its rival, the Ford F-150 Raptor. Plus, it costs just shy of $72,000, less than the Raptor, and much less than the six-figure TRX.

The two kick things off with a loaded review section, starting with the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Sport 3 then moving along to the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy. After that, they dig into the Lucid Air lineup, as Zac just returned from a week at Lucid HQ driving all of the Air models. They wrap up the review section by digging into what they think of our long-term Mazda CX-90 PHEV's powertrain. This week's news includes discussion about Ford's 60th Anniversary Mustang, the Tesla Cybertruck's accelerator pedal issues and GM's move away from the Renaissance Center. Lastly, the two spend a listener's money.

Intended for overlanding and rock crawling, its upgrades include a 2.5-inch lift courtesy Old Man Emu (OME) forged shocks with external piggyback remote reservoirs at the rear; 33-inch Toyo all-terrain tires that boost the ride height by 2 inches at the front and 1.5 at the rear; rock rails and high-strength steel skid plates; a high-mount air intake; a 20-inch light bar with color-selectable fog lamps; a 2,400-watt AC inverter with outlets in the cabin and cargo area; three aux switches; and an ARB roof rack.

With standard i-Force Max hybrid power, it finally boasts the performance you’d expect from something intended for higher speed desert running. It also has Fox shocks with adjustable reservoirs (you can see the adjustment knob in the video), 33-inch Toyo AT tires (the biggest ever for a 4Runner) that grants it a much wider stance, and Toyota’s new manually disconnecting stabilizer bar (the TRD Pro had a fixed bar before). It also gets unique styling elements inside (lots of red details) and out (lots of gloss black), plus a unique Mudbath paint job that’ll be offered on other TRD Pro models for 2025. Finally, one downside: no more big, tubular roof rack. The TRD Pro only has the standard 4Runner roof rails now.

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner is finally(!) here and will finally(!) be available at dealers this fall after it starts rolling off the production line in Tahara, Japan. It is based on Toyota’s TNGA-F truck platform, the latest in a too-long-to-list family of redesigned SUVs and trucks that were similarly long in the tooth. Among those is the new Tacoma, and a lot of what you’re about to read should seem familiar if you’re well-briefed on Toyota’s midsize truck.
The standard 4Runner engine is now the same 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four good for 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque you can get in the Tacoma. The old 4.0-liter V6 produced 270 hp and 278 lb-ft, but it also had a five-speed automatic that did it zero favors in terms of performance and fuel economy. The new 4Runner joins the 21st century with an eight-speed automatic. Fuel economy estimates are TBA. There’s also no manual despite the Tacoma offering one with the same engine.
This video shows the new 4Runner Limited trim in Heritage Blue paint with a brown leather interior.

Its 12.3-inch touchscreen featuring Google built-in is basically what you’d find in the range-topping Honda Accord, but that’s OK, and that’s also not the big news. It replaces the very much unloved and very weird True Touchpad interface Acura has been using in its current generation of cars. The new 2025 MDX also gets Bang & Olufsen sound systems, including the most powerful audio system in an Acura ever, and updated driver assistance system hardware. There are subtle styling differences, which are harder to tell, but we point them out in this video.

The impending 2025 Toyota 4Runner reveal is dissected; a new Buick Envision arrives, and Tesla has a rough quarter. Once the pair finish with the news, they move on to discuss the current state of affairs in Formula 1 and give a quick rundown of the New York Auto Show Editors' Picks.
