Why yes, as it happens, and it could come hot on the heels of the Ranger PHEV that's due here next year. If it goes ahead, the fully electric model should hit New Zealand shores in 2027. That’s sure to give the cockies something to chinwag about at the local. Only Ford may cancel the concept because of current slow sales of the F-150 Lightning. Still, comments made by Ford Boss, Jim Farley, during the recent Q3 earnings call at Ford suggest an electric Ranger is ..read more

Cadillac’s new home in New Zealand is on Auckland’s Karangahape Road. Known as the Auckland Cadillac Experience Centre, the facility that was once the Tesla showroom will open in Q2 2025. Created in cahoots with architecture firm Gensler, the site was chosen because it isn’t in a traditional car sales location. Gensler designed Cadillac's first European showroom in Zurich, Switzerland. The new facility is nestled amongst funky boutiques, bars, and restaurants along one of Auckland’s most lively and energetic streets. A two-storey, colonial-style building, it features ..read more

The second-generation Renault Twingo will sell for less than 20,000 Euros (roughly $NZ35k), at least as a base model when it goes on sale in 2026. That will put it on a par with the Stellantis weenie, the Leapmotor T03.  Twingo hasn’t been on sale for some time in the UK but it is set to return with neo-retro styling and EV power. This is yet another electric Renault that features styling cues borrowed from classic last century models. Megane and Scenic are undergoing the same transformation, as have Renault 5 and 4.  Renault is about to unveil the new ..read more
