It showed off a prototype engine and drivetrain simulation that vibrates, sounds, and shifts like an S2000, a Civic Type R, or either NSX. At high "RPMs," it also simulates the increased valve lift of VTEC.
This tech could make it to the company's upcoming 0 Series EVs. Which simulated car would you want to try?

The Ariya is Nissan’s first all-new electric car since the Leaf, which debuted in 2010 with a starting price of about $30,000. The Leaf was the first mass-produced EV in history, and it’s been integral to Nissan’s modern car history because it was electric, widely available, and affordable. But the Leaf is old now, and as EV technology evolves—and the market expands to more expensive, cushier offerings—a model like the Ariya is necessary for Nissan’s EV business to stay relevant.
We've driven the Ariya twice now, and most recently, we drove one of the top trims: the 2024 Ariya Empower+ Front-Wheel Drive, which came to $50,440 with options and fees. The Ariya has several motor choices for its front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive trims, and this one had an 87-kWh battery and an EPA-rated 289 miles of range. The interior felt like a boutique hotel; not only was our loaner car bright and roomy inside, but it also had rose-gold trim and intricate patterns everywhere. It was beautiful.
The car also drives well. EVs have all of their torque available instantly, meaning the 238-horsepower Ariya still feels quick. Front-wheel-drive cars often skip and hop the front wheels trying to accelerate hard, but that doesn’t happen in the Ariya—it’s just smooth and quick up to whatever speed you desire. It’s peaceful to drive at high speeds, and on certain major roads, it has hands-off driving capabilities with Nissan’s optional ProPilot Assist 2.0 package. (I don’t live near any of those roads, so I couldn’t test that.)
The Ariya is special, but its $40,000 starting price may hold it back from reaching true EV greatness—and bringing Nissan along with it. With so many electric competitors in that price bracket and below, it would be easy for buyers to rule out the Ariya before even test-driving it.
We hope we're wrong. But until we find out, enjoy our video reviewing the car, the market it competes in, and Nissan’s fascinating EV history before it.

For a company that’s been building hybrid cars since the late 1990s, Honda has been a bit slow to adopt full electrification in its march toward environmentally conscious automobiles. But the automaker’s first serious effort at an EV will arrive next year in the form of the 2024 Honda Prologue, a Passport-sized crossover with a targeted range of 300 miles.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class and EQS customers in the US will soon be able to add Drive Pilot to their luxury saloons' extravagant options list. The German automaker is bringing its Level 3 autonomous driving capability to the US by the end of 2023, ahead of all its rivals including Tesla, and the brand has just released additional pricing and availability details.
Mercedes-Benz introduced the system in Germany last year, and it has now confirmed that California and Nevada will be next, where a limited fleet of EQS models will be equipped with Drive Pilot in late 2023. More deliveries of Drive Pilot-equipped S-Class and EQS sedans will start in early 2024, Mercedes-Benz said.

Until now, the restyled Tesla Model 3 has been referred to as “Project Highland. That calling card has been helpful in recent months when sifting through the many rumors surrounding the once-$35,000 electric car that Elon Musk presented way back in 2016.
But now the new Model 3 is here. The refreshed Tesla has updated exterior aesthetics with a design that makes it more aerodynamic, added sound insulation that makes it quieter, and updated suspension and seating elements that make it more comfortable.

Generally speaking, whenever a vehicle is offered in both internal-combustion and all-electric variants, the EV version can be a bit compromised. Mercedes-Benz is flipping the script, however, with the Concept CLA-Class, revealed in Munich at IAA 2023 to preview the company’s new, electric-first compact car platform.
Based on the Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture (MMA), the Concept CLA-Class boasts slippery styling, sustainable interior materials, and a company-estimated range of 466 miles on the optimistic WLTP scale. And although powertrain and battery details are scarce, the automaker says the CLA takes inspiration from the Vision EQXX concept for both its electric motors and dash-spanning Superscreen infotainment system.
