New SUVs

[FIRE]

BMW designers have lost it.

Horrific - too big, too heavy, too expensive & too ugly. Plenty of tasteless people will buy it.

Absolutely. What a horrible looking car from any angle. The move to what I refer to as a large (/even larger)'Chinese' front grille is beyond me

[S griffin]

Not their finest looking car. They seem to have gone off their own identity too

Sort of - it is the North American HR-V, but for markets outside of North America.

If anyone thinks that the latest BMWs front grills are awful, then, how about this, the latest Lexus LX600:

Their front design is the reason I don't like Lexus.

OMG. Mike, I was so convinced that was a photoshopped joke I went to the local Lexus website for proof. There it looks even worse in some of the shots. And the 600 Ultra is priced here from $210,000. With an options list Its no beauty from other angles either. Quite awful. Absolutely no thanks. What were they thinking?

[S griffin]

I was sure that was photoshopped too? Surely there's no benefit for making the grill that big?

[NaBUru38]

Yes it's photoshopped by a 30%


The real one is still ridiculous.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport

4.95 m long

250-300hp diesel engines
530hp gasoline engine
440-510hp plugin hybrid gasoline engine

Four-wheel drive, 8-speed automatic transmission






I honestly struggle to distinguish the Land Rovers from the past decade.

[crmalcolm]

So - BMW are just going back to their heritage. Have you seen the grille on a BMW 303?

(Still looks horrible on the modern cars though).

That being said - the Lexus LM is pretty hideous from the front too.

Mercedes-Benz GLC

4.72 m long

2.0L turbo gasoline, Diesel and plugin hybrid engines





It's clearly distinct from the EQC.

[NaBUru38]

Lexus RX

4.90 m long, 5 seats

2.5L 240-300 hp hybrid gasoline engines
2.4L 365 hp plugin hybrid turbo gasoline engine






Round as a Toyota Venza.

BMW X1 / iX1

4.50 m long

1.5L three-cylinder gasoline and plugin hybrid engines
2.0L Diesel engines
310 hp electric engine, 65 kWh battery

Made in Germany





The taillights look like early 2000s X3 and X5.

[S griffin]

That front grill looks annoyed with something lol

[NaBUru38]

The X1 wants to speak with the manager.

Now confirmed for UK sales in 2023.
'The Austral will be sold with a choice of two full-hybrid systems, pairing a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor for combined outputs of 157bhp and 196bhp.
There's also a mild-hybrid petrol option that pairs the same engine with a 48V battery and a belt-integrated starter-generator for an electric boost under load and thus reduced petrol consumption.
Opening the line-up is a pair of 12V mild-hybrid petrols, which use a 1.3-litre four-cylinder engine to produce 138bhp and 157bhp'

Ferrari Purosangue

4.97 m long, 1.59 m tall

6.5L V12 gasoline engine, 715 hp @ 7750 rpm
2033 kg (dry weight)

8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission
Four-wheel drive

[FIRE]

Will be a huge success.

[broadrun96]

Yet makes me feel ill.

Wheels look odd, almost Hot Wheels like relative the car. And the hatch, so poorly done. I actually like the new Panamera since they fixed the angle and more upright/shooting brake over this useless forward lean common now
