Lexus arrived on the scene in 1989 with two new vehicles ready to compete in the luxury world: the LS and the ES. Flash forward nearly four decades and the ES not only survives, it thrives and the brand is making sure it continues to do so with the new model for 2026. Headlight.News got some time behind the wheel and can confirm it’s still among the best offerings in the segment in our First Drive.
Ferrari officially pulled the covers off the Luce, its first-ever battery electric vehicle. Despite some kind words from Pope Leo, however, the reaction to the $640,000 was largely unflattering. Is this the product that brings the house of the “prancing pony” crashing down? Headlight.News has more.
Toyota’s decision to stick with sedans a decade ago when other makers fled the segment didn’t guarantee a better version of its mainstay Camry — it was the brand’s history of constant improvement that ensured the 2026 Camry would be excellent. A week in the Camry SE Nightshade confirmed that to be true. Go to Headlight.News to check out our review.
Since its rolled into the market in 2019, the Kia Seltos has become one of the Korean carmaker’s major product lines. But, in a highly competitive segment, it needed some major updates to keep momentum building. As Headlight.News discovered during a drive adventure in South Korea, the second-generation 2027 Kia Seltos comes through. Here’s our review.
It started out as a nearly invisible, “cheap and cheerful” brand. Today, Kia is one of the fastest-growing brands on the U.S. market and challenging not only competitors like Nissan but its own Korean sibling Hyundai. The redesigned 2027 Kia Seltos is a reason why.
Subaru found itself caught with nothing to offer during the initial years of the SUV boom back in the 1990s. To compensate, the marque raised the ride height of its Legacy station wagon and billed it as the Legacy Outback — the “World’s First Sport Utility Wagon.” Now the brand has a “proper” ute in the 2026 Outback Wilderness and it’s unclear if it was necessary to make the change. Get the answer in our review at Headlight.News.
Kia built its first car in 1974, some 30 years after the company was founded. Nineteen years later, the company launched its first model in the United States: the Sephia. It was a decent, if something of an ordinary car — a word that cannot be applied to any of the marque’s offerings. A good example of this is the Headlight.News review this week: the 2026 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo Hatchback.
While most automakers are cutting back on their EV plans, Toyota Motor Co. is ramping up. And it’s taken the covers off the latest addition, the Lexus TZ set to become the luxury brand’s third all-electric model. Headlight.News has more.
A few years ago, Hyundai made waves with the debut of its car/truck, the Santa Cruz. It arrived with a natural rival, the Ford Maverick compact pickup. Fast forward to now, the Santa Cruz is on its way out — and that’s a damned shame. Find out why at Headlight.News.
Americans love pickups. They raise ’em up, put big ol’ tires on ’em and then run over or through things out in nature. Sometimes they lower ’em, reconfigure the suspension and exhaust so that they’re loud, proud, and fast. It’s the latter that the inspired the 2026 Ford F-150 Lobo Headlight.News spent a week in. Check out our review.
With a legacy going back to 1948, the Land Rover Defender serves as the marque’s most utilitarian offering. So does this version of the Defender live up to its heritage? We spent a week with the Land Rover Defender 110 P500 X-Dynamic SE to find out. Check out our review at Headlight.News.
Excerpt: It’s easy to fall in love, or at least lust, with the immense acceleration offered by EVs. A slight bit of pressure on the go-pedal and you feel like you’ve been shot out of a cannon. After spending a week with the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS, we found a new appreciation for a more moderate … departure? Check out our review at Headlight.News to find out what we mean.
