Carmakers gave a little bit of everything this week, trucks, luxury cars, new EVs; check them all down here.

#1 The New Mitsubishi EK X Debuts with an Unusual Design

The newest member of the eK X family is here, and it's a full-electric Kei car explicitly made for city dwellers.

Mitsubishi has scheduled the new eK X EV for production this summer. The eK X EV is a bit unusual – not a new thing for Kei cars- this new model has successfully combined SUV and cartoonish vibes into one vehicle.

Kei cars are designed for city dwellers with limited parking space and short commutes. They're also known for being fuel-efficient and easy to drive—and now they can be green too!

2023 BMW M4 CSL Debuts

The BMW M4 CSL is here at last!

This lightweight, high-powered coupe is the latest M offering from BMW, as it celebrates 50 years of the M series. BMW will produce just 1,000 units of this exclusive model, and it will be one of the fastest series-production BMWs ever built. The M4 CSL design features focus on performance optimization, like maximizing the cooling potential while also providing an impressive power output of 591 horsepower.

The new M4 CSL features an exposed carbon-fiber roof and bonnet, along with a black kidney grille and carbon fiber mirror caps. To complete the look, there are optional forged wheels in either 20-inch or 21-inch sizes and optional carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) rear spoiler winglets for improved aerodynamics at high speeds.

BMW

BMW 3 Series Debut

BMW has announced that it will refresh its 3 Series in 2023.

BMW's primary offering in the luxury sports sedan segment is the new model. It is expected to feature significant upgrades to the interior of the vehicle.

The new 3 Series will retain its overall shape but with a few minor changes on the outside. It will have a more extensive lower grille and a larger kidney grille than previous models. There will also be some minor changes to the headlights and taillights. Still, BMW is cautious not to stray too far from what makes it recognizable as a BMW.

The biggest changes will come inside the car, where BMW plans to add additional technology and update its iDrive 8 operating system. The company has been working with tech companies like Amazon and Apple over the past year so that those companies can integrate their services into vehicles using an app store-style interface.

2023 Audi RS5 Competition Package

Audi is getting ready to start taking orders for the RS5 Sportback and coup Competition package,

The sporty four-door version of the Audi RS5 Coupe will be available with a new Competition package that makes it louder, lower, and faster.

The standard RS5 comes with a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine that makes 444 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque; the Competition package bumps those numbers up to 493 horsepower 479 pound-feet. The top speed of 155 mph becomes 180 mph under this pack's hood, which means that it goes faster than before, but it also sounds better (and maybe even looks better).

#7 2023 Volkswagen Amarok Truck Official Reveal ahead of July 7 Debut

Volkswagen

2023 VW Amarok Debut Date

The wait is almost over. The second-generation Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle Amarok is coming to the market soon. We're getting our first look at it this July at the world premiere.

The new Amarok is no longer a pure VW. It is a full-size pickup truck developed using Ford's T6 platform. Thanks to the shorter overhangs, it will arrive with a wheelbase of 211 inches (up from 204) and increased approach and departure angles.

#8 2023 Toyota Tundra, Tacoma Debut with Visual Upgrades

2023 Toyota Tundra Tacoma Debut

Toyota's two most important models are refreshed for the 2023 model year.

The refreshed Tundra and Tacoma will be available for purchase soon. Still, Toyota has announced its visual upgrades today to keep these models fresh in the minds of consumers.

Both vehicles will receive changes in the trim and equipment hierarchy, with new features and options on some trims.

The 2023 Tundra will have a new SX Package which adds appearance upgrades such as 18-inch alloy wheels with Dark Gray Metallic finish, and black finish for the door handles. It also includes visual enhancements like a chrome exhaust tip and projector headlights with LED accents.

It’s easier and much simpler to leave your vehicle parked outside, but the drawbacks of that option can be extremely harmful to your car. Exposure to various weather conditions for an extended period will wear its structure, and fade the paint job. The car can even start to rust if you leave it out there long enough. And we still haven’t said anything about dust, scratches, theft, and other unwanted incidents.
