The All-New Bentley Torcal Makes Global Debut
Bentley’s first electric car, and only its fourth model line in 107 years. The numbers are the easy part: 888PS, 1,350Nm, 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds and up to 375 miles of range. The good bit is the noise. Rather than fake a V8 they had musicians play drums, viola and bass guitar to the rhythm of the old 6¾, and that recording is what you hear. The doors also close themselves when you put your seatbelt on.

Nissan Introduces All-New Tekton to the Middle East, Bringing Large SUV Confidence to the Compact Segment

Engineered for the Middle East: Ford Tests Vehicles for Regional Driving Conditions Ahead of Everest V6 Launch
Ford’s argument is that testing here isn’t a photo opportunity: heat soaks on the cooling system, UV and dust on the trim, sealing and suspension over wadis and dunes. The news underneath it is the Everest V6 — 2.7-litre EcoBoost, 310hp, 500Nm, ten speeds, arriving in November with a new Tremor variant. It is also the first car through Ford’s regional validation fleet, which puts production cars with local drivers before deliveries start.

How Does the INFINITI QX60 Balance Luxury and Practicality?
INFINITI making the case for the QX60 Autograph as a luxury SUV you can use on an ordinary Tuesday. Captain's chairs in the second row, USB-C across all three, a motion-activated liftgate for when your hands are full. The detail I'd actually want is the headrest speakers, which let the driver hear their own audio without the whole car having to share it.

Nissan and Honda Finalize Joint Development Agreement to Standardize ECUs and Software for Next-Generation SDVs
Two rivals agreeing to share the computers that run the car. Nissan and Honda will standardise the core ECUs, the in-vehicle operating system and parts of the control software across both their next-generation platforms, going into cars from FY2029. Not a merger, and after the last one collapsed nobody is calling it one, but software is increasingly the part of a car you either get on with or you don't.
