Autoesque

In 1918, Chevrolet began selling trucks to the public. That event's upcoming centenary deserves celebrating, so a couple of special Centennial Edition pick-ups have been launched to help commemorate the anniversary.

Since the inception of the Formula E series for electric-powered single-seaters, ABT Sportsline has been involved with support from Audi. Indeed, reigning champion Lucas di Grassi won the category's first ever race when driving for them.

Customer motorsport teams that are planning to run a Camaro GT4.R next season can now place an order to buy one.

To begin the gradual reveal of its all-new Sprinter, Mercedes-Benz has released a sketch that gives an idea of what the large van is going to look like. The styling, which appears to be a gentle evolution of the current model's design, holds few surprises.

Next month's Tokyo Motor Show will see the début of Suzuki's SV650X concept bike.

As it's based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4x4, Winnebago's Revel should appeal to people who enjoy off-grid camping in remote places.

Following a first round of voting, 2018's North American Car of the Year, Truck of the Year and Utility Vehicle of the Year semi-finalists have been named.

Organisers of the World Car Awards have revealed the models that'll be competing for 2018's prizes.

Kia's European design studio in Frankfurt created the Proceed Concept, so the Frankfurt Motor Show was a fitting venue for its first appearance.

Vauxhall seems to have missed an opportunity with the Vivaro Tourer Weekender. That's because this new arrival (which will be known as the Opel Vivaro Life across the rest of Europe) lacks the amenities to make it a true Volkswagen California or Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo rival.

Its boxy proportions might have been influenced by Honda's 'N' kei car range which first appeared in the late 1960s, but the Urban EV Concept actually resembles the original Volkswagen Golf. That's not a bad thing, incidentally.

Customers ordering the improved pure-electric Kangoo will have two big decisions to make.

Nissan's second-generation Leaf is undoubtedly one of this year's most important new car launches. This all-electric five-door hatchback might look fairly ordinary, but it could persuade a significant number of buyers to ditch petrol and diesel engines.

Along with the Amarok Aventura Exclusive concept , Volkswagen will be unveiling the Amarok Dark Label at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.

Calling the Amarok Aventura Exclusive a 'concept' is arguably a misnomer. In reality, it merely previews a more powerful version of Volkswagen's pick-up.

Thanks to a few cosmetic changes, the Style Edition has a subtly distinctive look. Those enhancements comprise black 18” diamond-cut alloy wheels, black door mirror caps and LED headlights with black bezels.

For the first time, a plug-in hybrid compact crossover is available in the UK. It's the Kia Niro PHEV, which joins the existing parallel-hybrid version.

Citroën and Rip Curl have collaborated to create a one-off camper van that's aimed at outdoor activity enthusiasts.

Europe's most popular pick-up is currently the Ford Ranger, but achieving that feat hasn't prevented the arrival of a Black Edition to secure some extra sales.

'Old' and 'good value' are two labels that spring to mind when describing Nissan's 370Z. Although it first arrived at dealers in 2009, an on-the-road starting price of £29,185 for a V6-powered coupé with rear-wheel drive is quite a bargain.
